Misaka 9982

Misaka 9982 (ミサカ9982号) is a character from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. She is the 9982nd Misaka Mikoto clone to be produced and is the first clone to be introduced to Mikoto and in the timeline. She is part of the Radio Noise Project as a combat target for Accelerator in order for him to achieve level 6.

Appearance
She looks the same as Mikoto, although for emphasize her eyes are drawn in a different way. Goggles and blue-striped panties are common to all Misaka clones and Misaka 9982 is no exception to this.

Personality
While she was similar to the other clones, Misaka 9982 had a rather unique personalty, as she was very interested in the outside world. She was very snarky to people, often giving long detailed critiques on their taste in food. The one thing that she desired was to meet her older sister, Mikoto, the girl whom she was cloned from. Upon their first meeting, the two had an awful start due Misaka 9982's refusal to reveal to Mikoto what the Sisters were involved in, but they both later bonded somewhat after Mikoto gave her a Gekota badge.

Background
She was produced three months prior to her meeting with Mikoto as part of the Radio Noise Project, and part of the overall Level 6 Experiments where she would be used as targets for Accelerator to defeat (kill). Initially her mental age was that of a newborn but it was corrected however after being put in the Testament machine, later she shared some tea with one of the female professors and commented on how horrible it was and lectured her on how to best prepare the tea, Misaka 9982 later laments on how her first tea is in such horrid taste. She also asks about the outside seeing as the experiment is to be moved outside and comments on how she is prepared for the outside with her knowledge, she is also told that she may meet Mikoto, her onee-sama.

She is later asked to clean-up the room full of dead bodies where Misaka clones have been killed for the experiment, Misaka 9982 simply complies.

Misaka Mikoto is feeling unusually elated after realizing that the Radio Noise have been halted indefinitely, however her judgment was wrong and that the Radio Noise Project have been continued.

Mikoto first sensed Misaka 9982's presence after she obtained the Gekota badge is sought after and was sending the children she met home, after some searching she discovers the existence of a clone, the clone being Misaka 9982. Mikoto was at first apprehensive on Misaka 9982 demanding to know her identity, however Mikoto is surprised by Misaka 9982's answer where she simply meowed, she later explains that a cat was scared into a tree because she used her powers to unlock a car which had a baby trapped inside. Mikoto shouts at her for not answering her question, but Misaka 9982's careful wording coerces Mikoto into helping the cat. The cat, however, slips and Misaka 9982 is forced to use her skirt in order to catch it, embarrassing Mikoto.

Misaka 9982 later confirms Mikoto's suspiscion, that she is indeed a clone of Mikoto but cannot tell anymore of the experiment to her for security reasons, this irritates Mikoto and tries to use force on her to reveal the information however stops shortly after seeing the expression on Misaka 9982's face and allows her to leave. However she is stopped once again by Mikoto after she remembers that their could be more than one clone, she yells at her until an icecream merchant notices them and decides to give them icecream as he sees that it is not good for twins to fight. Misaka 9982 gobbles her icecream and apparently approves of its taste, the icecream merchant leaves saying that Mikoto and Misaka 9982 should make-up, Mikoto later finds out that Misaka 9982 has also eaten her icecream and now asks for some hot drink, Mikoto somehow complies with this however she is embarassed that they are seen as twins by other people.

During the evening Misaka 9982 states that she will be heading to the experiments and will allow Mikoto to follow her, Mikoto inadvertently gives Misaka 9982 the Gekota badge she obtained earlier since it was like "checking how it would look", but 9982 comments that it is horrible and childish, hearing this Mikoto tries to take it back but is denied by Misaka 9982 repeatedly, saying that the badge is hers now and that it is the first present she ever got from her onee-sama, they part ways afterwards where Mikoto is frustrated by the events that have taken place.

Misaka 9982 later meets up with Accelerator to start the experiment carrying a large case with her which holds a gun within it, the experiment commences whilst Mikoto figure out the truth behind the Level 6 Shift with the help of Uiharu Kazari. Misaka 9982 battles Accelerator who is obviously toying with her, she fires her guns but is injured after Accelerator redirects the bullets, she flees and Accelerator follows her, commenting that this chase is where her life is on the line. Accelerator catches up and brutally attacks Misaka 9982, injuring her severely but is still able to stand up, eventually Misaka 9982 falls down and concludes to herself that she does not know the extent of Accelerator's power stating that he is covered by some sort of barrier. Misaka 9982 activates a mine that is underneath Accelerator, believing that his powers do not cover him underneath, however it was futile as Accelerator escapes unharmed and retaliates by ripping Misaka 9982's leg. Even then Misaka 9982 continues to fight on and drags herself towards the Gekota badge Mikoto gave her. Misaka 9982 dies clutching the gift Mikoto gave to her, she is killed by having a passenger car thrown at her by Accelerator to crush her.

Aftermath and Legacy
Shortly after witnessing the death of Misaka 9982, Mikoto flies into a rage in an attempt to combat Accelerator, but is obviously no match for him. She is fortunately spared by Accelerator, as the other Misaka clones explains that their battle may cause certain anomalies in the experiment.

Misaka 9982's death forced a great change upon Mikoto, Mikoto later regrets having said to Kuroko that she wanted to have a clone of her disappear from her sight. Mikoto also regrets giving her DNA Map to the scientist. When meeting other clones she gets irritated by their appearance but she truly cares for them. Because of the events that have transpired, Mikoto became incredibly depressed which worried Kuroko even though she tries to cover it up with a facade, Mikoto however decided to take all the fault of their deaths to herself, and decided to stop the experiment on her own by destroying the cloning facilities, which had failed due to the realization that the experiments were still ongoing despite destroying the facilities. In a last ditch effort to sabotage the experiment, Mikoto is willing to sacrifice herself to Accelerator as she discovers that the Tree Diagram has been destroyed which would allow her to screw up the calculations of the experiment (as Tree Diagram predicted that Mikoto would be defeated in a certain number of moves, Mikoto planned to be defeated on the first).

Eventually Mikoto was able to save the clones and halt the experiment with the help of Kamijou Touma.

Abilities
Like all the sisters, she is an electromaster.


 * Electricity: Being a copy of Misaka Mikoto, she has the same abilities but only 1/20000 of the original, bring her to level 2 or 3. However, as Touma stated, 1/20000 of 1 billion volts is still 50000 volts.
 * Radio Noise: A form of telepathy between the sisters, it links her up to the "Misaka Network". This allows them to share memories and experiences.
 * Weapons & Gear: She uses the standard googles and uses a FN F2000 assault rifle as well as landmines during her fight with Accelerator.

Quotes

 * (To Mikoto from Toaru Kagaku no Railgun Manga Chapter 022)"The moment you attached it, ownership of this badge was transferred to Misaka, she insists. Oneesama's behaviour is robbery, Misaka complains. But nevertheless this is...this is the first present I ever got from Oneesama."
