Having survived the explosion, Toma is found by Accelerator, who is impressed that Toma has managed to actually bring him so close to death. Toma lands a hit on Accelerator, realizes his Imagine Breaker is able to nullify the latter's powers, and continues to physically beat the esper up with his right hand. Accelerator breaks away and begins to manipulate the air to launch projectiles at Toma, who is saved when Mikoto arrives. However, she realizes that Accelerator is creating a plasma attack by controlling the direction of the wind and condensing it into one place. Finding the injured Misaka 10032, she convinces her to tell the other Sisters to increase the city's wind turbines to disrupt the wind Accelerator needs for his attack. Unable to form his plasma storm, Accelerator tries to make a final lunge at Toma, who knocks him out with a punch before fainting. When Toma wakes up, he is in the hospital with Misaka, who explains that the experiment has been halted and that all the surviving Sisters will be sent away to be treated for their shortened life-spans but promises to meet him again someday. In the morning, he is visited by Mikoto, who thanks him for saving the Sisters, and then by a worried and annoyed Index, who wants him to come to her for help next time.
