[00:24] ---
    Confirm. It's already three
    minutes past the designated time.
[00:28] ---
    This is Point A.
[00:30] ---
    There isn't anyone in sight.
[00:32] ---
    What is this? They ran out on us?
[00:35] ---
    I guess they decided they were
    messing with the wrong people.
[00:37] ---
    I wouldn't say that.
[00:40] ---
    Hey, whose voice
    was that just now?!
[00:42] ---
    I'm here, all right.
    Right next to you.
[00:52] ---
    Hey! Do you read me?!
[00:53] ---
    The deal is off! It's off!
[00:56] ---
    Get out of there immedi--
[01:02] ---
    W-Who are you...?
[01:18] ---
    W-Why, you...!
[01:31] ---
    Eh? Again? Well, all right...
[01:35] ---
    So, who is it?
[01:38] ---
    A pharmaceutical company?
[01:39] ---
    Isn't that a little outside our purview?
[01:40] ---
    Yeah, well, that may be true and all, but...
[01:43] ---
    all told, the whole purpose of
    the swimsuits is to show off to others,
[01:48] ---
    so if we go to a private pool
    with no one around, there's no point.
[01:52] ---
    Yeah, but,
[01:53] ---
    public pools and beaches
    are ultra-crowded,
[01:57] ---
    and there's ultra-next-to-no-room to swim.
[02:00] ---
    Well, all told,
    you are right about that.
[02:04] ---
    What do you think, Takitsubo?
[02:06] ---
    Hmm...
[02:09] ---
    As long as there's space to
    just float along, it doesn't matter.
[02:13] ---
    O-Oh...
[02:17] ---
    Okay, no chit-chatting
    while we're at work.
[02:20] ---
    Kinuhata, that's enough.
[02:22] ---
    We got a new request,
    so we're heading back.
[02:24] ---
    When?
[02:25] ---
    Good question.
    It's a hazy request.
[02:29] ---
    But our job sounds like a simple one.
[02:32] ---
    Huh? What is this?
    I don't know what you mean.
[02:36] ---
    But, if you say so,
    Mugino, then all right.
[02:39] ---
    What is the job?
[02:41] ---
    Facility protection detail
    against a mysterious invader.
[02:44] ---
    The pay isn't too bad, either.
    It's perfect, isn't it?
[02:48] ---
    Just the job for us members of ITEM.
[03:05] ---
    sister's noise, I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)
[03:09] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)
[03:12] ---
    Nobody can ruin the feelings
    we've built up together
[03:22] ---
    The oft-repeated truth is still distant
[03:29] ---
    while I am unable to sense your pain
[03:35] ---
    If the dreams you
    committed to me that day
[03:39] ---
    end up tearing me apart,
[03:42] ---
    don't ever let go of that hope
[03:45] ---
    more precious than anything else
[03:50] ---
    Though once closer to you than anyone else
    (sister's noise...)
[03:54] ---
    I cannot hear your voice
    (I find it out...)
[03:57] ---
    While the hands of time kept ticking away
[04:01] ---
    I was finally able to find you
[04:04] ---
    sister's noise, so I keep on looking
    (sorrow of your heart...)
[04:07] ---
    for where your lost heart is
    (I shoot it down...)
[04:10] ---
    I promise to preserve the shared
    smiles we both felt
[04:16] ---
    Nobody can ruin them now
[04:24] ---
    An esper that controls electricity, huh?
[04:27] ---
    Due to terrorist activities
    using communications lines,
[04:29] ---
    as well as not being
    caught by electronic security,
[04:32] ---
    that's what they are assuming.
[04:34] ---
    In fact, the client seems to
    have this rather narrowly profiled.
[04:39] ---
    If they have a suspect already,
    why not ultra-attack themselves?
[04:44] ---
    I think taking them by
    surprise would be an ultra-cinch.
[04:47] ---
    You are only to act once
    the target is within the facility.
[04:51] ---
    You are not to pry into their particulars,
[04:53] ---
    as per the client's orders.
[04:55] ---
    Huh? What is this?
    All told, I don't get this at all.
[04:59] ---
    What do you want? It's not like
    I accepted because I wanted to.
[05:03] ---
    Besides, they have their reasons
    for wanting you on a job like this.
[05:07] ---
    Now stop your griping and get to work!
[05:09] ---
    Okay.
[05:11] ---
    The job is to just lie in wait,
    and then take out our opponent?
[05:15] ---
    Perhaps so,
[05:16] ---
    but the problem is
    that there are two locations
[05:19] ---
    that could be potentially targeted.
[05:21] ---
    Ooh! I'll go cover
    one of them by myself!
[05:25] ---
    Huh?
[05:26] ---
    How come? You seemed
    ultra-unhappy about this.
[05:29] ---
    Oh, that's a separate
    matter from this.
[05:31] ---
    All told, if I defeat them myself,
    I'll earn a killshot bonus, right?
[05:36] ---
    All right. Just make
    sure to stay in contact.
[05:41] ---
    Don't get in over your head.
[05:50] ---
    There are only two
    places left, including this one.
[05:55] ---
    I'm not at all interested in finding out
[05:59] ---
    at what pace the
    experiment is proceeding...
[06:07] ---
    ...but before the night is over...
[06:08] ---
    I'm bringing an end to all of it!
[06:18] ---
    I gave in, because the pay was so enticing,
[06:22] ---
    but all told, waiting for someone
    who may not ever come
[06:26] ---
    sure is boring, huh?
[06:29] ---
    What's worse, if they go the
    other way, then there's a chance...
[06:33] ---
    that all told, all this boredom
    will have been for nothing.
[06:38] ---
    No way!
[06:39] ---
    They're here, they're here, they're here!
[06:41] ---
    All told, they're just
    following normal behavior!
[06:52] ---
    All right,
[06:54] ---
    the target research
    facility is on the top floor.
[07:00] ---
    I hope things go off without any hitches.
[07:16] ---
    Sure enough,
    it's not going to be that easy.
[07:21] ---
    Not even one of them hit her?
[07:23] ---
    Did she use magnetism to
    divert the path of the falling objects?
[07:26] ---
    It looks like the intel about her
    being an electrical esper was right.
[07:31] ---
    There... Ordinarily,
[07:34] ---
    this is a tool to burn
    through doors and walls, but...
[07:45] ---
    A bomb?!
[07:48] ---
    Why would folks like this...
[07:51] ---
    ...be putting bombs
    inside stuffed animals?!
[08:02] ---
    They're using fuses they
    set up in the room ahead of time
[08:04] ---
    to ignite them? But then,
[08:07] ---
    what are they thinking,
    making such a big production?
[08:10] ---
    Wha-- A bomb in the rubble?!
[08:15] ---
    Ow!
[08:16] ---
    They've predicted my moves!
[08:18] ---
    Does that mean the word is out
    about me being an Electromaster?
[08:29] ---
    Yow...!
[08:32] ---
    An emergency retreat
    using my maximum magnetism...
[08:35] ---
    It does a lot of damage,
    so I didn't want to use it.
[08:38] ---
    But never mind that, where are they?
[08:42] ---
    They're even in here?
[08:45] ---
    If I follow where these lead...
[09:05] ---
    Her, huh?
[09:08] ---
    You mean it?
[09:10] ---
    Yes. Word is that they showed up
    at the pathological analysis lab.
[09:15] ---
    They did, huh?
[09:16] ---
    They went over there, did they?
[09:19] ---
    Hurry and get our
    move here taken care of, too.
[09:21] ---
    Excuse me...
[09:23] ---
    What is it?
[09:24] ---
    Um, we have a visitor.
[09:30] ---
    Oh... Sorry to keep you
    waiting. It's nice to meet you.
[09:35] ---
    And, uh, you are...?
[09:39] ---
    I'm the one who was in charge of
    your company's Testament oversight,
[09:42] ---
    Nunotaba.
[09:47] ---
    Whoa!
[09:49] ---
    The girder is in the way, huh?
[09:52] ---
    I don't need any
    more interference later on,
[09:54] ---
    so I'll take care of this first!
[09:56] ---
    She's really put on quite a
    spectacle so far, huh?
[09:59] ---
    My hunch is that if I'd used
    my usual remote-control bombs,
[10:03] ---
    she'd be long dead by now,
    but with an Electromaster of her level,
[10:05] ---
    she might have taken
    control of them, instead.
[10:07] ---
    All told, it was the right choice.
[10:11] ---
    How... ever...
[10:18] ---
    No way!
[10:20] ---
    She also deflects ceramic bombs?!
    She's on a different level
[10:24] ---
    than any other
    esper I've gone up against.
[10:30] ---
    You won't get away! I don't
    know if you're directly involved,
[10:33] ---
    or if you're a hired goon...
[10:36] ---
    ...but anyone supporting
    this experiment must pay!
[10:42] ---
    Wow, what a terrifying look!
    This is bad!
[10:45] ---
    If she catches me,
    she might tear me apart!
[10:50] ---
    Yeah, as if!
[11:06] ---
    I lured you up as close as I could,
    so you were pretty high up!
[11:10] ---
    It doesn't matter how high-level
    an esper you are after... that?
[11:18] ---
    I-It can't be...
[11:22] ---
    If you wanted to send me falling,
[11:24] ---
    you'll have to rebuild
    the entire facility,
[11:26] ---
    and this time, leave out the steel!
[11:29] ---
    What is this?! No fair!
[11:32] ---
    Yikes!
[11:52] ---
    Looks like a dead end, huh?
[11:54] ---
    I never expected to be
    backed this far into the corner.
[11:59] ---
    It's a pretty simple mistake to make.
[12:03] ---
    Perhaps you panicked,
    and made an error in judgment.
[12:06] ---
    Or maybe...
[12:10] ---
    What do you think?
[12:15] ---
    Oh, I beg your pardon.
[12:16] ---
    It's not as though there's
    anything specific we need from you.
[12:19] ---
    Not to mention, we've never
    done as large-scale a move as this one.
[12:23] ---
    Anyhow, I figure,
    in case anything happens,
[12:25] ---
    if we could have the pleasure
    of your company, Miss Nunotaba,
[12:28] ---
    since you've been involved
    since Project Radio Noise...
[12:31] ---
    I understand.
[12:33] ---
    Thank you very much.
    Well then, please wait here for a moment.
[12:45] ---
    There's something I want to
    ask you now, while I can.
[12:48] ---
    Who is it that hired you?
[12:50] ---
    Huh?
[12:52] ---
    Now is not the time to think about loyalties.
[12:55] ---
    This facility is part
    of that insane experiment--
[12:57] ---
    Ah, never mind about that.
[13:02] ---
    What my employer's objectives are,
[13:04] ---
    whether the opponent
    I'm eliminating is good or evil,
[13:07] ---
    or what kind of life they've led...
[13:11] ---
    All told, those sorts of things...
[13:18] ---
    ...don't really matter to me.
[13:21] ---
    Do you still not understand your situation?
[13:23] ---
    All told, you often hear stories
[13:26] ---
    about the hunter becoming the hunted.
[13:30] ---
    Take a close look
    at where you're standing.
[13:40] ---
    Your retreat is cut off, and there
    is nothing to shield yourself with!
[13:44] ---
    Go ahead and get out of
    this predicament, if you can!
[13:50] ---
    Ugh, that was dumb.
    You give thought to talking it out,
[13:54] ---
    and this is what happens.
[13:58] ---
    I really need to save as
    much of my strength as I can.
[14:02] ---
    She lifted up the floor with magnetism?!
[14:04] ---
    Uh-oh! Could she
    actually be a Level 5 esper?!
[14:09] ---
    Have you made your peace?!
[14:12] ---
    Then again, having too much
    power can lead to carelessness.
[14:18] ---
    Whoops...!
[14:21] ---
    That's what you get
    for coming at me so candidly!
[14:25] ---
    A stun grenade? I got sloppy!
    My eyes and ears...!
[14:31] ---
    It's the moment when the
    self-assured esper becomes trapped
[14:36] ---
    that makes me feel
    like I'm on top of the world!
[14:48] ---
    All told, when you mess with me,
    this is what happens to you!
[14:52] ---
    All right! That's half the paycheck!
[14:56] ---
    What shall I buy?
[14:57] ---
    Half the paycheck! Half the paycheck!
    Really, what shall I buy?
[15:07] ---
    She's gone? That wasn't enough firepower
[15:09] ---
    to blow her up without a trace.
[15:11] ---
    Well, that means, all told...
[15:15] ---
    It looks like you've done
    your homework on Electromasters,
[15:20] ---
    but when you get to my level,
[15:22] ---
    EM waves provide me with
    a picture of the space around me.
[15:25] ---
    Whoa, there!
    Best not to make any false moves.
[15:29] ---
    The sight is coming back to my eyes now,
[15:32] ---
    and at this range,
    nothing is faster than my electric shocks.
[15:36] ---
    Miji...
[15:37] ---
    Huh?
[15:38] ---
    Miji cavi capri citeva...
[15:42] ---
    Huh? What is she saying?
[15:42] ---
    sgichovire sgicacci slano...
[15:43] ---
    That's not English or French. Huh?
[15:46] ---
    happa fumifumi!
[15:46] ---
    But that there sounded like Japanese...
[15:48] ---
    No, there is no such language!
[15:55] ---
    Explosive? She doesn't know when to quit.
[16:00] ---
    What's that?
[16:01] ---
    Academy City's specially-made
    gaseous explosive,
[16:05] ---
    "Ignis."
[16:06] ---
    It won't do any harm to breathe it,
[16:08] ---
    but with the force on
    that canister earlier...
[16:11] ---
    this room has now
    become one gigantic bomb.
[16:16] ---
    Do you know what would
    happen if you used electricity now?
[16:22] ---
    I think I'll kill you, nice and slow!
[16:28] ---
    This isn't good.
    Electricity is out of the question,
[16:30] ---
    and manipulating objects with
    magnetism runs the risk of friction.
[16:45] ---
    What is with her?
[16:47] ---
    It's not impossible that
    she could kick up a spark
[16:49] ---
    from the shock of her stamping around!
[16:52] ---
    You look like you're watching
    someone with a death wish.
[16:54] ---
    The work I do is for the underworld.
[16:57] ---
    You think I can do that
    and still be afraid of dying?!
[17:04] ---
    Yeah, right! As if that were true!
[17:08] ---
    I'll die together with
    you over my dead body!
[17:11] ---
    What I tossed at you
    first was the real thing, all right,
[17:14] ---
    but what I dispersed afterward
    is just ordinary nitrogen gas.
[17:17] ---
    I didn't think you'd fall for it so badly!
[17:22] ---
    What's the deal
    with the underworld cleaner
[17:24] ---
    they've got standing by?
[17:26] ---
    Oh, nothing much.
    She's just a little girl, not even that old.
[17:30] ---
    Never mind her, I wonder
    what's happening over there.
[17:33] ---
    Who knows? Any means of external
    identification have been cut off.
[17:38] ---
    I just want to hurry and
    get this move taken care of.
[17:42] ---
    But if something happens...
[17:44] ---
    That's why we called in a patsy,
[17:46] ---
    who we can pin the
    responsibility on, just in case, right?
[17:49] ---
    There is that.
[17:51] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting,
    Miss Nunotaba--
[17:55] ---
    Huh?
[17:56] ---
    Is she in the restroom?
[18:05] ---
    Moving the Sisters that are
    being adjusted would come last.
[18:12] ---
    With the abrupt transfer of control
[18:13] ---
    and a watch out for attackers,
    they've ignored internal security.
[18:19] ---
    If I'm going to put this
    into action, it's now or never.
[18:38] ---
    You're hanging in
    there pretty well, aren't you?
[18:40] ---
    But even so, if I don't end this soon,
[18:43] ---
    Mugino and the others will show up.
[18:47] ---
    I said before that I didn't
    care about my target's life,
[18:51] ---
    but this time, there is something
    deeply moving about you.
[18:55] ---
    That very moment when I take a life,
[18:59] ---
    I am in control of someone else's destiny.
[19:03] ---
    All told, it's as though this
    person was born,
[19:07] ---
    just so they could be killed by me.
[19:11] ---
    Okay, then,
[19:12] ---
    let me hear one good,
    final scream out of you!
[19:19] ---
    Wha--?
[19:22] ---
    To be born, just to be killed, you say?
[19:26] ---
    To just accept it, to take it for granted,
[19:29] ---
    and not try to escape, or struggle
    against it, or even seek any help
[19:33] ---
    from such a godforsaken destiny as that...?
[19:37] ---
    To hell with that!
[19:46] ---
    A choke hold?
[19:47] ---
    So that's it. She can get her
    opponent without using shocks...
[19:52] ---
    This is bad!
[20:00] ---
    Not a bad idea, but still not--
[20:10] ---
    Oof... That was a close call!
[20:13] ---
    I came this close to blowing
    my bottom half off in my own trap!
[20:18] ---
    Good grief, my shapely legs would have--
[20:20] ---
    Ah... I get it, I get it. So that's how it is.
[20:24] ---
    All told, I went and fell for quite
    the rudimentary bluff, huh?
[20:30] ---
    Er, well, that is...
[20:32] ---
    "All told," I said. It
    must be rubbing off on me.
[20:42] ---
    Tee-hee!
[20:49] ---
    If I'm holding back
    while shocking someone,
[20:52] ---
    I'll sleep just fine if they
    end up dying, so you know.
[20:56] ---
    Tell me every last detail
    you know about the project.
[21:01] ---
    Who's the one in charge?
    Who is it that hired you?
[21:05] ---
    Yeah, see, it went through an intermediary.
[21:09] ---
    Come to think of it,
    you said someone was coming, huh?
[21:13] ---
    Who?
[21:14] ---
    There's no way I'm telling you that!
[21:21] ---
    Unless you want to be burned to a cinder,
[21:23] ---
    you've got three seconds to answer me.
[21:27] ---
    Three...
[21:27] ---
    No! I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll talk! I...
[21:30] ---
    Two...
[21:30] ---
    M-My tongue!
    That last shock made me...
[21:33] ---
    Just a minute! My tongue is
    too numb to move! I can't talk, so...
[21:37] ---
    One...
[21:43] ---
    Zero.
[21:47] ---
    I see. So you're not going
    to sell out your friends, huh?
[21:51] ---
    No, my tongue is just too numb.
[21:53] ---
    Well, I can't say
    I hold that against you--
[22:04] ---
    It got so quiet in here...
[22:08] ---
    I was sure that you'd been finished off.
[22:12] ---
    Looks like I got here
    in the nick of time, huh,
[22:15] ---
    Frenda?
[22:29] ---
    While looking up
    into an unfamiliar sky,
[22:35] ---
    always, always walking with you
[22:41] ---
    I was searching for
    the future I thought I saw,
[22:47] ---
    so unlike the one up until a day ago
[22:53] ---
    When you touched my heart,
    convinced by my blurred vision,
[23:02] ---
    that I was wandering
[23:05] ---
    everything started changing
[23:09] ---
    After counting clouds until I grew
    bored of it, they drifted far away again
[23:16] ---
    I went after them, and found
    my dreams for tomorrow
[23:21] ---
    Assured that it's now or never,
    your feelings get through to me
[23:28] ---
    and someday, I'm sure,
    I'll offer mine, too
[23:34] ---
    Like the clouds, gently, gently,
[23:39] ---
    moving forever, forever forward
[23:47] ---
    "Next episode preview"
[23:48] ---
    Misaka Mikoto...
[23:48] ---
    "#9 AIM Stalker"
[23:49] ---
    I'm bringing down the project!
[23:50] ---
    I can't allow her to fight them by herself.
[23:53] ---
    I'm going to save the rest of them!
[23:54] ---
    Yes, I will do what I can.
