"Uggh.. "

It was a blur... all of it..

The girl blinked within the wreckage of the forest cabin... splintered wood lay around her.. and a particularly heavy board was on top of her legs... trapping her..

Her heart throbbed with fear... the fear she felt as she realized, that she wasn't in this world alone..

She tilted her head... feeling blood trickle down her forehead, as she looked for the one whom she had come here with..

Why were they here? What had they come here to do?

She couldn't remember...

She couldn't remember why..

Then she saw him.. under some wreckage nearby, unconscious.. He wore a black jacket, jeans, and had spiky black hair.. a guy of around 16 years old... 2 years older than her.

"T-Tou... " The girl struggled to say the boy's name.. reaching out a bloody hand to the boy.. 

How did they get here? 

She tried to remember... flashes of light.. the sound of an angry screaming voice.

And then pain.. had... had they gone through some sort of portal and crashed through this house? that made sense.. and then didn't... cause she couldn't remember why in the world they would go through a portal to begin with..

The girl felt something wet on the ground where her cheek rested.. blood? Not her own blood.. her reflection could be seen in the blood not her own.. that stained her chestnut brown medium length hair.. her soft yet fiery deep brown eyes..

Mikoto Misaka, the third strongest Esper of Academy City.. a City in Japan that was famous for being 30 years ahead of the rest of the world in science, so much so, that they had created the super powered psychics known as espers through mind tricks and various drugs... 

Mikoto herself.. was an electromaster, capable of manipulating electricity, the most powerful of her kind, able to generate 1 billion volts maximum.. She was one of the most powerful people on Earth.. well.. her earth... if they went through a portal.. was this still their world?

Mikoto groaned, and tried to shift her leg.. but it wouldn't budge.. she looked up, in a daze.. and her eyes widened with horror.. there were other people.. dead... their corpses strewn about the splintered walls.. their intestines dripping to the ground.. leaving the puddle of blood that Mikoto's cheek was resting on..

If Mikoto had any more of her strength left, she'd have screamed in horror. Did.. did she and Touma do this? Did landing on the house cause this much damage? 

Then.. there was a crunching noise.. and Mikoto watched, transfixed, as one of the corpses slipped away.. into a gaping.. giant... mouth...a mouth whose teeth, crunched through flesh and bone.. brutally, remorselessly, hungrily. 

Blood splattered out and showered over Mikoto's already dirty school uniform, as the creature's teeth crunched through the blood vessels of it's recent victim. 

Mikoto knew one thing now..

They had to get out of here...

"Thooom.. Thoooom... Thoooom..."

Mikoto felt the ground tremble.. as giant footsteps shook the earth..

A massive giant crunched through the wooden shambles of the roofless ruin, around 10 meters tall.. it had a fat belly, was completely naked, and had no genitals.. it's mouth was spread into a wide goofy grin, showing brick sized teeth stained with blood. It's eyes were half closed lazily... and the way it walked was slow and deliberate.
