Toaru Majutsu no Index II Episode 22

Synopsis
As Fuze KAZAKIRI's wings light up the skies of Academy City, Accelerator finds himself running out of time. With only 60 seconds until the device that allows him to use his abilities runs out of energy, he faces the fact that he can no longer return to the light, and prepares to drag his mentor to hell along with him.

His determination, however, is not enough to take down Kihara Amata, who continues to effortlessly counter each and every attack of the "strongest esper in Academy City". Amata chides on Accelerator's efforts to fight him, telling him that things will not change, and only defeat is certain for someone who is trying hard to become a hero. This angers Accelerator, whose resolve to save Last Order from Academy City's dark side never wavered, and he lunges into Kihara for another attack.

However, the batteries that power his link with the Misaka Network gives in at the wrong moment, and a powerless Accelerator falls to the floor before he could land an attack.

Meanwhile, Touma and Vento confront again. Touma is able to block off Vento's magical attacks, although he receives melee attacks from Vento as well. Vento knows that she is at a disadvantage, as a magician dangerously close to a dense manifestation of AIM. However, she does not want to stop fighting Touma, whose power in his right arm disgusts her.
