Appearance

AIM Burst

The consciousness of the espers connected to the fetus.

The phenomenon initially took form of a giant transparent levitating fetus with a halo on its head and tentacles but it eventually grew into a grotesque mass due to its ability to regenerate.

Like any infant it uses emotions to perform decisions or rather it is an amalgamation of the subconscious emotions of the people connected to the network and it lets out a screeching sound as if it was crying. Because it is connected to the Lever Upper network when it appeared it caused convulsions on the comatose Lever Upper users, it is also shown to manifest the voices of the subconscious of the espers of the network

The AIM Burst has a rectangular prism core within it similar to Hyouka's, that keeps it together even if the network is disabled

Abilities

It is shown to be quite powerful as it regenerated and grew larger every time it was damaged, can release a powerful energy blasts and has the ability to materialize and manipulate glass-like objects to attack an opponent and many others, though these abilities are derived from the collective abilities of the espers in the Level Upper network and are not innate abilities of the creature. The AIM burst creature can be seen as an primitive artificial angel, though due to the network it was born from made of mostly low level espers regardless of how many more are added to the network it still cannot match those with truly decisive powers, such as Accelerator, Kakine or Fiamma.

Plot

Fetus scream1

The AIM Burst screams after it is born.

The AIM Burst first appears after Kiyama Harumi loses control of the Level Upper network and causing the birth of the creature, it was noted by Uiharu to be in pain and seemed to attack only when provoked, it was also a very dangerous creature having the ability to regenerate. Misaka Mikoto does battle with it to distract the creature as it was heading for a nearby Nuclear Power Facility long enough for Uiharu to disable the Level Upper network, it then loses its regeneration abilities and is subsequently defeated by Misaka by using her "Railgun" to destroy its core.
