==Synopsis==
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S E24 00m 37s.jpg|Shinobu reminds Febrie of the name "Misaka Mikoto."
STUDY finally mobilizes their "revolution". Nunotaba Shinobu can only recall her memories with Febri while wondering if she has made the right choices back then, as STUDY pushes through their plans. Meanwhile, STUDY confidently marches on despite the presence of a few "gatecrashers" in their party...
...only to be shocked at the presence of hundreds of Judgment operatives, parading their green armbands and their will to fight those who seek to disturb the peace of Academy City.

As a resounding "JUDGMENT DESUNO (I'm with Judgement)!" echoes throughout the Academic Assembly venues (much to Kuroko's surprise), Mikoto heartily laughs while on her way to track down Janie's position.
Soon, Judgment begins their offensive. Kuroko uses javelins instead of her usual metal spikes to cripple the Powered Suits, while Judgment employs various tactics to exploit the simple commands given to the Powered Suits, from power by numbers to hit and run tactics to keep the unmanned Powered Suits busy. Meanwhile, those with capable offensive abilities, like Kongou Mitsuko and Shirai Kuroko, finish off the preoccupied enemies.

STUDY decides to increase the power output on Janie from 2% to a much higher value, however, Mikoto has already found Janie's whereabouts, causing STUDY to set their sights on the traitor amongst them, Nunotaba Shinobu. Later, Aritomi "welcomes" Mikoto to their main headquarters and prepares hundreds of Powered Suits to take her on, confident that Mikoto would succumb to fatigue after long periods of fighting alone. To Aritomi's shock, however, Mikoto was able to destroy a large number of Aritomi's units using her abilities, including the Railgun.

Aritomi quickly changes plans upon seeing Mikoto's display of might. As he jams the signals of all electronic devices at the four Academic Assemly venues, he deploys larger mechanical units, piloted by two of Aritomi's associates, to take care of the Judgment forces. Chaos quickly throws the Judgment forces into disarray, while Mikoto is already feeling the effects of fatigue as more and more of Aritomi's Powered Suits arrive to slow down her advance. To make things worse, Aritomi has also deployed three advanced mechanical units which imitate the ability of the Meltdowner, Mugino Shizuri.

Uiharu and Saten are forced to retreat in the midst of STUDY's new units, and Uiharu became close to becoming a casualty in the chaos. Suddenly, a much larger unit that dwarfs those of STUDY arrives on the scene, where Yomikawa Aiho and Haruue Erii are onboard. Erii then tells everyone that a telepathic connection is being set up to compensate for the lack of communications devices, care of Edasaki Banri and the telepaths of Judgment.
Saten and Uiharu soon enter the large vehicle that came earlier and Saten accustoms herself to the controls, which she had well prepared the night before. Soon, as Kongou proudly introduces Kongou Airlines' all-purpose transforming robot she calls "Ekaterina II S", Saten and Uiharu join forces in swiftly taking down STUDY's advanced mechanical vehicles.

In Mikoto's front, the Rank Three Level 5 is surprised upon seeing another Level 5 in the battlefield: the Meltdowner herself, Mugino Shizuri, instantly destroying her copycats using her ability. Soon enough, regroups and Frenda and Kinuhata Saiai help turn Aritomi's robots into scrap metal while allowing Mugino to unleash her fury upon realizing that she was used as a data source by STUDY. As destroys what's left of Aritomi's forces, Mikoto takes the opportunity to sneak into STUDY's main headquarters.

STUDY's plans are slowly breaking apart. And to make things worse for them, Mikoto has arrived to confront Aritomi. However, Aritomi has decided to resort to drastic measures, shutting down Janie's link with the many Powered Suits outside to turn Janie into an unstable entity. Then, Aritomi prepares to end his life, leaving behind Janie in her unstable state and Febri without the neutralizer that would prolong her life.

But, Mikoto refuses to let Aritomi do what he wants. Using her electricity, she stops Aritomi from shooting his head and slaps him with her left hand, injured by her sudden contact with the pistol while firing. There, Mikoto points out that she knows a lot more about the darkness than him, and despite that, she would still save everyone, even the man in front of her who has just attempted to cause widespread chaos just to make a point.

Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S E24 19m 17s.jpg|Mikoto prepares to fire the mecha.
Aritomi is frozen stiff as Mikoto demands the commands needed to reverse his "last resort", but Aritomi's colleague, Sakurai Jun, explains to her that they are in a grave situation, as Aritomi's last resort involves releasing thousands of filaments from a missile fired 35,000 kilometers above the Earth, and the rampaging Diffusion Ghost will cause widespread AIM diffusion field interference that will affect each and every esper in Academy City.
Mikoto accepts that she cannot do such a feat by herself, and so she decides to ask help from her friends.
After Mikoto has told the others about the missile that is heading towards Academy City at 420 kilometers per hour, Uiharu quickly steps into action, attempting to locate, track down and determine the missile's trajectory. However, she feels that she needs a faster computer to perform the calculations needed to pin down the missile's coordinates. To make things more tense for Mikoto, Febri's last lollipop is gone, and the poison in her system would damage her body soon. Shinobu decides to do what she can to prolong Febri's life, while Mikoto's "little sisters" decide to help in pointing out the trajectory of the incoming missile.
Most of the Judgment have decided to take a break to regain their energy. Meanwhile, Saten runs to Mikoto's whereabouts to hand over Febri's bag, where there are still some lollipops for Febri to eat. Shinobu then begins her attempts to restore Janie to a more stable state, which she thinks would require a strong emotion to work... "like love", as Saten suggests.
Mikoto and Kuroko reunite at the Ekaterina II-S and are now the new pilots of the machine. Mikoto, with the help of her clones, finally determines the whereabouts of the missile and prepares for an aerial confrontation. Mikoto then asks pardon from Kuroko for having her participate in such a dangerous, only to be touched by Kuroko's happiness of finally being able to help her Onee-sama. The Ekaterina II S then launch into space in a warhead-esque fashion, with the help of Kongou (who had previously placed 8,092 air ejection points to launch the mech) and Maaya (who severely reduced the mech's weight by increasing its buoyancy). Meanwhile, Shinobu gambles on Febri's love for her newfound friends to reach Janie... only to discover the love the Sisters Clones have developed due to Shinobu's intervention in the Radio Noise Project.
The Misaka Clones use their combined calculation powers to boost the systems Shinobu is using to restablize Janie. Meanwhile, several thousand feet above, Mikoto and Kuroko step out of the Ekaterina II-S, with Kuroko stepping aside as Mikoto uses all of her might to launch the entire machine into the missile like a railgun. In an instant, the missile and the Ekaterina II-S were destroyed, leaving behind Kuroko to lead Mikoto to a safe landing down on Earth.

Meanwhile, after much anxiety, Janie finally wakes up from a long slumber. After greeting her sister, Febri hands over a rice ball to Shinobu. At that moment, Shinobu is relieved to tears after having finally redeemed herself and having saved what she was unable to long ago.

Later that day, the Academic Assembly kicks off once again. Shinobu leaves for overseas so that Janie and Febri would undergo the procedures needed to stabilize their bodies, and as Uiharu and Saten make their tearful goodbyes to Febri, Mikoto voices out her disappointment over Shinobu needing to leave so soon. Shinobu also mentions how a lot of people seem to have forgotten the events that happened earlier, leading Mikoto to think about a certain Level 5 more than capable of doing such a thing.
Soon, Shinobu tells Mikoto that it is her turn now to take care of Janie and Febri, and that she will do her best for their sake.
Shinobu, Janie and Febri soon leave aboard a Kongou Airlines flight, leaving behind Mikoto, Kuroko, Uiharu and Saten to prepare for their afternoon classes... and the Liberal Arts City field trip the following day?!
