A Certain Magical Index: The Miracle of Endymion

The Spaceplane Orion crashes to Earth, yet remarkably there are no reported casualties among its 88 passengers. Survivors celebrate the miraculous outcome as they pick up the pieces of the wreckage. Authorities and onlookers are stunned by the total lack of fatalities.

Three years after the crash, Academy City is on the verge of completing Endymion, a colossal space elevator designed to ferry people into orbit without traditional spacecraft. The project embodies a tech-magic frontier that excites supporters and concerns skeptics alike. The stage is set for a potential seismic shift in science and faith.

Toma Kamijo and Index cross paths with Arisa Meigo, a young singer and Level 0 esper whose presence hints at something far larger than a talent contest. Her arrival threads a connection between the Endymion project and a looming conflict. The meeting places Arisa at the center of growing interest from both sides.

Arisa reveals she has passed an audition to be the Endymion campaign girl, a role that could thrust her into the public eye in unexpected ways. The announcement ties her future to the ambitious project and signals that her talents may influence more than just a stage. The news intensifies attention on her again.

Shutaura Sequenzia, leading the Black Crow Unit, and three Church witches stage a sudden assault that tests the balance between science and faith. The attackers retreat after a tense confrontation, hinted to be only the beginning of a larger conflict. Kaori Kanzaki’s reluctant intervention briefly helps Arisa and friends, but leaves a cryptic warning in the air.

Arisa confesses a troubling memory gap spanning the last three years, deepening the mystery around her identity. Toma seeks out Motoharu Tsuchimikado and Kaori, who believe Arisa may bear Saintlike significance. The investigation tightens around Arisa as people try to read the signs of her power.

Stiyl Magnus and his associates kidnap Arisa, triggering a desperate chase as Shutaura and the Black Crow Unit struggle to break free from pursuers. The pursuit underscores how high the stakes have become for both magical and scientific factions. The abduction cements Arisa’s central role in the looming confrontation.

Stiyl explains Endymion’s nature: a makeshift Tower of Babel that could become a grand magical device if the power of a Saint is harnessed. The revelation reframes Arisa’s role from mere talent to a potential catalyst for a cataclysm. The concept sharpens the sense that control over Endymion could redefine reality.

Ladylee Tangleroad, CEO of Orbit Portal Company, reveals a grim ambition to absorb Arisa’s power to escape a centuries-long immortality curse. Shutaura confronts Ladylee, but Ladylee survives and wields two automatons to seal Shutaura away. The clash marks a brutal collision between personal survival and cosmic stakes.

Arisa is compelled to sing in Endymion, activating a vast magical circle that stretches across the sky above Earth and draws everyone present into its reach. The spectacle signals Endymion’s power spiraling toward uncontrolled magnitude. The planet braces for a potentially catastrophic event.

Toma and Index push toward space, aided by Kaori, while Shutaura pursues her ascent. Mikoto Misaka, Accelerator, and Stiyl Magnus fight to destabilize the Endymion construct from the ground. They sever explosive bolts that would unleash Endymion’s power, buying precious time for a final confrontation.

Toma uses his Imagine Breaker on Shutaura, unlocking a buried memory: Arisa’s existence was born from Shutaura’s wish to save everyone on the plane, even at the cost of those close to her. The revelation reframes the conflict as a shared duty rather than a simple clash of factions. Trust begins to replace pure hostility.

Arisa and Shutaura join their voices in a single, resonant duet while Index stabilizes the spellwork. Mikoto Misaka, Accelerator, and Stiyl contribute countermeasures, breaking Ladylee’s hold. The Endymion construct is merged into a single, harmonious system that halts the catastrophe.

The tremors subside and the world begins to recover. A memory of voices lingers, suggesting that miracles can be understood through courage and trust. Arisa’s melody remains a beacon, hinting at future collaborations between science and magic in a divided world.
