**[00:05] ---**
Hamazura is working too slow.
**[00:07] ---**
Work?
**[00:09] ---**
Yeah. I sent him out on a garbage run.
**[00:13] ---**
Then, after he finishes that,
I told him to go buy a salmon lunch.
**[00:16] ---**
Huh? Hamazura, what kept you?!
**[00:19] ---**
Ah, so this is where you are.
**[00:22] ---**
It's you--Dark Matter.
**[00:24] ---**
I wish you'd use my name. I do have
the name Kakine Teitoku, you know.
**[00:29] ---**
Now then, I've come to declare victory.
**[00:34] ---**
I don't know who you are,
**[00:37] ---**
but I'm sorry to be the one to send you off.
**[00:43] ---**
In this city,
**[00:45] ---**
those without any power
are the same as trash.
**[00:48] ---**
Nobody helps them.
**[00:50] ---**
I'm sure I'm one of them.
**[00:55] ---**
"Incoming call: Kinuhata Saiai"
**[00:55] ---**
Kinuhata?
**[00:57] ---**
I just finished the job.
**[00:58] ---**
Hamazura, secure us a vehicle
as fast as you can, please.
**[01:03] ---**
We're under fire from SCHOOL.
**[01:06] ---**
Huh?!
**[01:06] ---**
One of their objectives is Takitsubo.
**[01:10] ---**
They probably learned
about Takitsubo's AIM Stalker,
**[01:13] ---**
and are here to get rid of her.
**[01:14] ---**
As long as Takitsubo is safe,
we can still turn the situation around.
**[01:18] ---**
You have to take her and get--
**[01:27] ---**
Kinuhata!
**[01:29] ---**
I'm ultra-fine.
**[01:30] ---**
I'm fighting, too.
**[01:31] ---**
That's okay, you just stay put.
**[01:34] ---**
There you are!
**[01:46] ---**
Huh? What is this?
**[01:48] ---**
Oh, that was awesome.
**[01:50] ---**
That punk Sunazara snuffed it,
along with the magneto-sniper rifle?
**[01:55] ---**
You'll have to face *me*.
**[01:57] ---**
You can't beat me with Level 4 Offense Armor.
**[02:00] ---**
I'm well beyond the level
that you can scheme your way out of.
**[02:06] ---**
"A Certain Magical Index III"
**[02:13] ---**
"#06 Super-espers"
**[02:17] ---**
Either I go up there and get killed,
**[02:19] ---**
or I run away and wind up in the incinerator.
**[02:24] ---**
Damn it!
**[02:27] ---**
Kinuhata?!
**[02:30] ---**
Huh?
**[02:31] ---**
Let her go!
**[02:33] ---**
Who are you? Don't tell me you want
to go up against me with that toy.
**[02:37] ---**
Oh, I see, you're a sacrificial pawn.
**[02:40] ---**
Your big boss Mugino has long since fled.
**[02:42] ---**
Damn that woman...
**[02:44] ---**
Don't.
**[02:46] ---**
Run, Hamazura.
**[02:49] ---**
I'm a Level 4, and you're
a Level 0, so I'll protect you.
**[02:55] ---**
Takitsubo...
**[02:58] ---**
What is that?
**[03:04] ---**
Why, you!
**[03:05] ---**
Are you trying to disrupt
my AIM diffusion field
**[03:08] ---**
and take over my ability?!
**[03:10] ---**
Hurry, Hamazura!
**[03:19] ---**
I didn't ask for any help.
**[03:22] ---**
Why, long time no see.
**[03:23] ---**
You're that girl from before!
**[03:25] ---**
Hmm? So that's what happened.
**[03:28] ---**
Yeah. Imagine, using an ability crystal.
**[03:31] ---**
What's an ability crystal?
**[03:33] ---**
A chemical that triggers an adverse reaction,
**[03:36] ---**
deliberately making
one's ability run out of control.
**[03:39] ---**
In most cases, though,
it's nothing but detrimental.
**[03:42] ---**
Even if it does produce favorable results,
if you keep using it...
**[03:53] ---**
Takitsubo!
**[03:54] ---**
If she uses her power another
time or two, she'll destroy herself.
**[03:58] ---**
We won't even have to finish the job.
**[04:06] ---**
Heart Measure.
**[04:08] ---**
I just shrank the emotional
distance between you and me.
**[04:12] ---**
The closeness we now feel is,
I don't know, that of friends?
**[04:15] ---**
You can't shoot your friend, can you?
**[04:19] ---**
Applied telepathy...?
**[04:26] ---**
Damn it!
**[04:28] ---**
Takitsubo!
**[04:31] ---**
"Incoming call: Mugino Shizuri"
**[04:32] ---**
It's Mugino.
**[04:34] ---**
Hamazura, is Takitsubo there?
**[04:37] ---**
Damn you,
**[04:38] ---**
running away by yourself!
**[04:41] ---**
Oh, pipe down, would you?
**[04:43] ---**
Our counterattack begins now.
**[04:45] ---**
We're going to use Takitsubo's
power and pursue SCHOOL.
**[04:48] ---**
That's crazy! You're going
to get everyone killed!
**[04:51] ---**
Besides, Takitsubo is in no shape to do so.
**[04:53] ---**
Ah, so she's alive? Thank goodness.
**[04:57] ---**
I really need her to
provide results, even if it kills her.
**[05:01] ---**
Now then...
**[05:05] ---**
Run, Hamazura. I don't
want to get you killed.
**[05:11] ---**
Well, have *you* extended
a hand to anyone asking for help?
**[05:16] ---**
The reason you've been looked down
on has nothing to do with power.
**[05:21] ---**
Figure out what to do about that
good-for-nothing illusion yourself,
**[05:25] ---**
you filthy bastard!
**[05:29] ---**
Yeah, I get it.
**[05:32] ---**
He's right, damn it!
**[05:36] ---**
Look, Hamazura,
**[05:38] ---**
do you know what I do for a living?
**[05:40] ---**
I'll explain as much as you want afterward.
**[05:43] ---**
But right now, take her
someplace safe for me.
**[05:47] ---**
She could fall apart anytime,
thanks to something called an ability crystal.
**[05:51] ---**
Ability crystal?!
**[05:53] ---**
Hey, Hamazura,
did you just say "ability crystal"?!
**[05:56] ---**
Yeah, which is why--
**[05:58] ---**
Hamazura!
**[06:00] ---**
I've been looking all over for you, you know,
**[06:03] ---**
lugging around this baggage with me.
**[06:06] ---**
You don't need to be liquidated, too, do you?
**[06:12] ---**
Hey, what's going on--
**[06:13] ---**
Get going!
**[06:15] ---**
Wait, I can't hide behind
a child in this situation!
**[06:18] ---**
Just get going!
**[06:21] ---**
Please! I don't want to let her die.
**[06:26] ---**
I've been doing nothing
but spinning my wheels fretting,
**[06:28] ---**
but I've finally realized
that this is what I want to do!
**[06:31] ---**
So get going! I can't protect her by myself!
**[06:35] ---**
Without your help,
everything goes up in smoke, right here!
**[06:52] ---**
Electrifying, isn't it, Hamazura?
**[06:56] ---**
How did you get that?!
**[06:58] ---**
Without this,
**[07:00] ---**
you can't make Takitsubo
use her ability, can you?!
**[07:09] ---**
Take that, you damn woman!
**[07:21] ---**
Hamazura...
**[07:23] ---**
...make no mistake, I'm going to kill you.
**[07:53] ---**
Nice place, huh? You've got good taste,
picking an unmanned facility.
**[08:01] ---**
Indeed, it's definitely better to die alone.
**[08:04] ---**
Isn't that right, Hamazura?!
**[08:19] ---**
Hamazura, would you stop being so obstructive
**[08:24] ---**
and hand over the ability crystals already?
**[08:30] ---**
I'm not going to rest until
I've killed all the members of SCHOOL.
**[08:35] ---**
Here, give me the ability crystals.
**[08:37] ---**
No way! I won't let Takitsubo
use ability crystals anymore!
**[08:41] ---**
Huh?
**[08:42] ---**
She's already at her limit.
**[08:44] ---**
So what if she is? Once she's spent,
I'll just recruit another esper.
**[08:50] ---**
Then again, she is the only one
who can search AIM diffusion fields.
**[08:56] ---**
As long as I know where those SCHOOL
sons of bitches are, I'm fine, though.
**[09:01] ---**
I'm sorry, but I can't work with you anymore.
**[09:04] ---**
You can't beat that Kakine bastard.
**[09:07] ---**
You've already run away from him twice, now.
**[09:11] ---**
Hold on, you seem to have
a screw loose inside your head.
**[09:14] ---**
You want me to tighten it for you?
**[09:16] ---**
She said--Takitsubo said she didn't
want a selfish guy like me to die...
**[09:23] ---**
I have to let someone
like her... find happiness!
**[09:31] ---**
A Level 0 ear...
**[09:33] ---**
in exchange for a Level 5 eyeball...
That's a bargain, huh?
**[09:38] ---**
Hamazura!!
**[09:42] ---**
It doesn't matter!
**[09:44] ---**
You could tear off my arms and legs
or bust up my internal organs,
**[09:47] ---**
but it wouldn't change
how outclassed you are!
**[09:49] ---**
I could kill a hundred of you Level 0s
without even having to lift a finger!
**[10:04] ---**
I'm no idiot, myself.
**[10:08] ---**
I beat you easily, Level 5.
**[10:11] ---**
Damn, it really *was* a bargain.
**[10:16] ---**
Hamazura...
**[10:19] ---**
Hamazura!!
**[10:46] ---**
It's Hamazura. I don't need
Antiskill's help anymore.
**[10:50] ---**
Yeah, it's all over.
**[10:59] ---**
So, is there any progress on the
analysis of the data on the tweezers?
**[11:03] ---**
Yeah.
**[11:04] ---**
But it's no use.
**[11:06] ---**
This data alone still won't be enough
to put me on equal footing with Aleister.
**[11:12] ---**
We'll need to make another push.
**[11:14] ---**
Then you're going to do it, aren't you?
**[11:17] ---**
Kill the top-ranked guy in Academy City.
**[11:29] ---**
Yeah?
**[11:30] ---**
The assassination plot by BLOCK to kill
the governing board chairman has failed.
**[11:36] ---**
I'm pleased to have such
outstanding subordinates.
**[11:39] ---**
Tch, sounds like you
wanna get killed pretty badly.
**[11:43] ---**
Not at all. I really am grateful for this.
**[11:47] ---**
Which is why I'm offering some
valuable information as a personal reward.
**[11:52] ---**
Information regarding the threat to
the life of Serial Number 20001, Last Order.
**[12:00] ---**
By the way, what has
happened to the lost child?
**[12:03] ---**
Has the tickle in your crazy hair gone away?
**[12:07] ---**
"Misaka does not have crazy hair,"
**[12:09] ---**
answers Misaka Misaka while she withers up.
**[12:13] ---**
"Hmm, I'm sure they were
wandering around here earlier,"
**[12:18] ---**
says Misaka Misaka,
all tired out from all that wasted effort.
**[12:24] ---**
"M-Misaka wants one of those, too!"
**[12:26] ---**
says Misaka Misaka, not carrying a wallet,
**[12:29] ---**
and then turning toward
Miss Uiharu with a sparkle in her eyes.
**[12:38] ---**
Here.
**[12:41] ---**
Be sure to come back right away, okay?
**[12:45] ---**
Okay, in the meantime,
I think I'll enjoy some of this.
**[12:49] ---**
Excuse me, miss.
**[12:52] ---**
I'm looking for someone.
**[12:56] ---**
I haven't seen her. I think you'd
better file a report at an Antiskill station.
**[13:02] ---**
You're right. Thanks.
**[13:04] ---**
Oh, and miss,
**[13:06] ---**
there's something I forgot to mention.
**[13:09] ---**
I know Last Order was
just with you, you damn airhead.
**[13:15] ---**
Where is Last Order?
**[13:17] ---**
Tell me, and I'll let you go.
**[13:20] ---**
You'll never find her...
**[13:21] ---**
Huh?
**[13:23] ---**
Didn't you hear me?
**[13:25] ---**
I said she was someplace
where you'll never find her.
**[13:29] ---**
Ha, very well.
**[13:31] ---**
This is farewell, then.
**[13:37] ---**
Ha-ha, you showed up sooner than I expected.
**[13:41] ---**
Damn, man, you shouldn't get your jollies
playing such sucky games, third-string!
**[13:50] ---**
Huh?
**[13:56] ---**
That's not a good look on you, fairy-tale.
**[13:59] ---**
Don't you worry. I know what it looks like.
**[14:01] ---**
Let's get things going
with something more interesting.
**[14:05] ---**
I'll teach you how to
act more like a villain.
**[14:15] ---**
Did you know everything in the world
is made up of elementary particles?
**[14:20] ---**
But the normal rules don't
apply to my Dark Matter.
**[14:25] ---**
The Dark Matter that I produce
**[14:27] ---**
is a substance that doesn't
exist in this world.
**[14:31] ---**
I don't mean it hasn't been discovered,
but that it should theoretically exist;
**[14:36] ---**
I mean, it actually does not exist.
**[14:44] ---**
Matter that doesn't exist
operates under laws which don't exist.
**[14:50] ---**
Like, say, turning the light from
the sun into rays that can kill a man.
**[14:59] ---**
I'm done reverse calculating.
**[15:06] ---**
Accelerator,
**[15:08] ---**
you say that you can reflect anything,
**[15:11] ---**
but that's not accurate, is it?
**[15:13] ---**
You unconsciously work up
"harmful" and "non-harmful" filters,
**[15:17] ---**
and choose to reflect
only what's nonessential.
**[15:20] ---**
Between the sunlight and wind gust earlier,
**[15:23] ---**
I included 25,000 vectors within them.
**[15:27] ---**
Based on how those were reflected,
**[15:30] ---**
I just have to attack you using vector fronts
from among those that you unconsciously accept.
**[15:37] ---**
This is Dark Matter.
A space with foreign matter in the mix.
**[15:41] ---**
This is a place unknown to you!
**[15:48] ---**
I'm going to gain the right
to deal directly with Aleister!
**[15:52] ---**
That's what the tweezers were for,
**[15:55] ---**
but killing you, the top-ranked guy,
looks like it will be quicker!
**[15:59] ---**
At this stage, is the order of
our numbers really that important?
**[16:03] ---**
Aleister moves multiple
plans forward concurrently.
**[16:10] ---**
Each one of them contains
a "second plan" within them.
**[16:13] ---**
I am your second plan!
**[16:23] ---**
So by killing me, you move
to the top of his plan totem pole?
**[16:28] ---**
That's right. By doing so,
Aleister can no longer ignore me.
**[16:32] ---**
Tch, you, too? I don't know what tragedy
you got saddled with that broke you,
**[16:39] ---**
but by thinking that because
you have some grand reason,
**[16:43] ---**
you're free to kill civilians,
your villainy is much too cheap.
**[16:46] ---**
*You* went ahead and smashed up
plenty of civilians fighting *me* earlier!
**[16:52] ---**
You're lacking in aesthetic,
so that's the only thing you can say.
**[16:55] ---**
For that matter, do you even
know why you and I are divided
**[16:59] ---**
into first and second ranks?
**[17:01] ---**
It's because there's a complete
and total wall in between us.
**[17:06] ---**
D-Don't tell me...
**[17:08] ---**
you were defending those
people while we were fighting?
**[17:12] ---**
Screw you! How much of
that did you have under control?!
**[17:17] ---**
Did that get under your skin, punk?
That's what being a villain is.
**[17:21] ---**
This is *my* world!
**[17:24] ---**
No it isn't. I'm redefining this world
as being made up of elementary particles,
**[17:28] ---**
including your Dark Matter,
**[17:30] ---**
and once I crack your formula,
it's checkmate for you.
**[17:33] ---**
You think you have a handle
on me all the way to my core?!
**[17:35] ---**
Your core's not that deep.
I don't *need* to have a handle on it.
**[18:00] ---**
Later, third-string.
**[18:02] ---**
Hey, at least it's not as pitiful
as being beaten by the good guys.
**[18:06] ---**
Hold on, there!
**[18:08] ---**
Hand that gun over here.
You don't need one of those, do you?
**[18:14] ---**
I'm a villain.
**[18:16] ---**
In that case, I'll stop you.
**[18:18] ---**
Do you really mean that?
**[18:20] ---**
I don't have any other
choice but to stop you.
**[18:23] ---**
I will never give up on you.
I'm going to drag you up out of there.
**[18:29] ---**
That's why I'm here standing in your way.
For the children I have to protect.
**[18:33] ---**
For the peace that I love so much.
**[18:36] ---**
It's a place where you
are, and Last Order is,
**[18:39] ---**
and we're all living together in laughter.
**[18:42] ---**
The gun you're holding is
extraneous to that future, isn't it?
**[18:48] ---**
You aren't that big of a villain!
**[19:02] ---**
It turns out you're the same as me.
**[19:05] ---**
You can't protect anyone. Isn't that right?
**[19:09] ---**
You've already sent a whole horde
of people to their deaths like this!
**[19:36] ---**
Awesome. Such awesome evil.
You really can pull it off if you try, villain.
**[19:43] ---**
Seeing this, Dark Matter
certainly would be the Spare Plan.
**[19:48] ---**
However, it still doesn't
necessarily mean....
**[19:51] ---**
...we have to fight to the finish, do we?
**[20:06] ---**
Wh-What did you--?!
**[20:08] ---**
This is what a villain is.
**[20:11] ---**
Is that what you are?! Your role is...!
**[20:31] ---**
Lower your weapons!
**[20:35] ---**
The only way to stop him is...
**[20:36] ---**
"I found...
**[20:41] ---**
...my lost child,"
**[20:42] ---**
says Misaka Misaka,
insisting on speaking to you.
**[20:58] ---**
"It's all right," says Misaka Misaka,
stretching out her hand.
**[21:07] ---**
Accelerator... are you...?
**[21:11] ---**
F-Fire!
**[21:15] ---**
Stop!
**[21:23] ---**
"It's okay, you don't
have to do this anymore,"
**[21:26] ---**
says Misaka Misaka, stating what's right.
**[21:51] ---**
"Thank goodness," says Misaka Misaka.
**[22:11] ---**
Apparently, that SCHOOL bunch
needed the tweezers
**[22:16] ---**
to recover a certain nanodevice.
**[22:18] ---**
Nanodevice?
**[22:20] ---**
Yeah. A roughly 50-million-unit
surveillance nanodevice,
**[22:25] ---**
dispersed by Aleister
throughout the air of Academy City.
**[22:30] ---**
"The Underline." That's what it's called.
**[22:34] ---**
The Underline is a nexus that
makes up an intelligence network
**[22:36] ---**
that directly connects to
Aleister regarding Academy City.
**[22:40] ---**
You can guess the level of
information that each unit holds.
**[22:45] ---**
Oh, here it is.
**[22:46] ---**
The secret codes of the city's darker side.
**[22:48] ---**
GROUP, SCHOOL, ITEM, MEMBER, BLOCK...
**[22:53] ---**
Organization names?
**[22:54] ---**
Seems a bit after-the-fact now.
**[22:58] ---**
No, there's more than just that.
**[23:01] ---**
The last one to come up... is "DRAGON."
**[23:12] ---**
I swear, I'm gonna get the better of them...
**[23:15] ---**
...on everything.
**[23:24] ---**
"Preview"
**[23:26] ---**
An underground complex
extends beneath Academy City.
**[23:29] ---**
A momentary peace
is torn apart when he appears.
**[23:33] ---**
Next time, "The Third Level"
**[23:35] ---**
When science and magic cross paths,
the story begins.
**[23:40] ---**
**[23:42] ---**
