A.A.A Misaka should be "As before, At least 8-C, likely higher, with regular weapons, Low 5-B with Liquid-Proof Railgun"
Reasoning: The A.A.A, while Misaka was KO'd, was able to stalemate John's Pen Index (which is 8-C with normal spells). As Misaka was knocked out, she was unable to use her powers, as such, the 8-C rating is for ONLY the AAA, without Misaka using her powers too. Liquid-Proof Railgun should be superior to Accelerator's rotational energy attack (8.596e31 joules maximum), and superior to a nuclear bomb (average 9e13 joules), due to the fact that it was able to pierce the Windowless Building.

John's Pen vs AAA:
Accelerator stuck his hand into a nearby concrete wall. He manipulated the vectors so his arm sank in as easily as if the wall was made of tofu. Accelerator shouted so loud blood came from his throat and he moved his arm complexly around in the wall.
He took control of all of the vectors. A great roar exploded out. In that instant, earth's rotation slowed by about five minutes for September 30. His arm took the massive energy of the planet's rotation and used his vector control to transform it into a demonic strike. The concrete wall he forcibly gouged out was thrown with frightening speed. Accelerator stood in an alley surrounded by buildings, but the several buildings between him and his target were torn through like paper. His worries about his surroundings and unrelated people had completely evaporated for an instant. By the time he came to his senses, he had already thrown it. He was over two kilometers from his target. The Windowless Building was the world's strongest shelter which was said to be the fortress of Aleister, the chairman of Academy City's board of directors. It was said that giant structure would not budge even from the shockwave of a nuclear weapon.
The attack flew with frightening speed. A tremendous storm of noise exploded out. It did not matter that Accelerator was over two kilometers away. It blew straight through two or three unmanned banks and government office buildings, shot between two buildings on the other side of a street, tore off an electronic billboard attached to the side of a high-rise building, and shot straight toward the target. It could only be called a miracle that no one was injured or killed. He had not given it any thought. Gray dust blew into the air. His vision was temporarily obstructed. The dust hung in the air for a while. Finally, his vision cleared up. It spread out before him. "…" Nothing about the world had changed. That strike had used the full power of Academy City's strongest esper and had taken the rotational energy of the earth itself, but even that had not been enough to bring down the Windowless Building. The result was clear. The wall remained as large as ever.

Liquid-Proof Railgun destroys the Windowless Building:
That battlefield was hell on earth.
As large as the dance hall was, it was still just one indoor room. Index and Misaka Mikoto were targeting each other and firing all throughout that space while controlled by John's Pen and the A.A.A. respectively. They did not show any ordinary reactions such as worrying about their storybook skirt spreading out or their flat chest's contours showing through their underwear-like dress. It was like being caught between two warships engaged in combat. Even if they had no intention of doing so, a single hit would kill you instantly. In fact, Windsor Castle itself might not last if a wall or the ceiling was blown through. The building could crumble and bury them alive at any moment.

What if that Railgun was fired when that friction could be reduced or neutralized?
The Liquid Proof Railgun. With the limits on distance and speed removed, it produced endlessly frightening destructive power. She no longer used the frictional heat as the brakes. She reversed that way of thinking. The slight coating of liquid on the coin's surface took away its heat and cooled it. And when that liquid explosively expanded as steam, it gave the coin even more speed. Instead of simply being carried by its initial speed, it accelerated more and more as it flew. The tiny shell gained limitless speed as it produced a thin, spear-like contrail and was absorbed by the impressive wall of the Windowless Building. This was not possible with just any water manipulating power. The fine control used to manipulate the liquid in the brain to control the information there was needed to place a special lattice pattern on the surface of the coin. This required precision far greater than the ablation that protected a space shuttle from the atmosphere's heat by melting in just the right way despite being nothing more than a plastic lattice. The scenery grew distorted. The impregnable Windowless Building was mercilessly torn into as if the coin were breaking through the wall of space itself.
