Episode 1: Another Male Pilot!
Being the first and only male IS pilot, Ichika had something that many men all over the world desired to have. Though he wasn't the best, nor the most talented, Ichika proved his worth with his comrades Houki, Rin, Cecilia, Charlotte, and Laura by taking on Phantom Task and succeeded in forcing them to retreat. However, It was only a matter of time until they would resurface again, but before that happens let's look at a different scenario where Ichika wasn't the only male IS pilot
Moving along the vast clear view of the ocean, a large cruise ship sailed forward and awaited its destination in the far distance. IS Academy, the greatest and prestigious IS institute to be for aspiring IS pilots. Numerous adolescent girls chatted among themselves on the top deck as they continued to stare and gossip at the source of all the commotion. Several camera's and film reporters were aimed upwards, trying to get a good look at a young man who was resting with his hands behind his back on top of the cruise ship.
A woman with blonde hair wearing a formal uniform with a microphone in her hand stepped in front of one of the camera men, coughing as she cleared her throat to gain everyone's attention.
"Hi! This is Angela of IS News with a special report! We're here on the IS Cruiser to discuss with you the biggest thing since Ichika Orimura, the first male to ever pilot a n IS!" Her voice was loud and she felt anxious about what she was about to reveal.
"The rumors about another male being able to pilot an IS were not false people, as we are about to get an interview with that young man right now" She started climbing a latter placed next to the rooftop and slowly made her way with her TV crew to the resting boy who was chilling and had his eyes closed, indicating that he was either sleeping or just didn't care. He had messy, spiky red hair that pointed in all directions and had a strand of his hair stretch down to his chin. He was wearing a long sleeved jet black shirt along with black jeans that matched pretty well and around his neck, a blue amulet sat comfortably.
"Uhm, excuse us..." Her voice sounded a bit shaken by the fact that he wasn't paying attention to her.
The young man sluggishly opened his left eye, looking fairly annoyed that his sleep was disturbed.
"Hm?"
Angela flinched for a second at his uninterested response before coughing to break her distraction.
"Do you mind giving us a few minutes of your time to interview you? We would greatly appreciate it"
The youth closed his left eye and yawned in a casual manner as he stretched his arms over his head and let out a satisfied moan.
"Ain't nobody got time for that" He swatted his arm in the air as he turned his body to the side to avoid facing them, leaving Angela and her coworkers stunned at his disposal.
Trying to regain her composure, Angela put on an endearing smile and tried to persuade the youth once again.
"Please don't say that, aren't you aware that you're the most talked about topic on the market! Don't you want the viewers to get to know you a little better?" Her smile never faded once during her speech.
"No, not really. I'm more interested in taking my nap" He lied back down and once again spread his arms behind his back and crossed one of his legs over his raised knee. "Now buzz off"
Angela felt a vain pop in her forehead as her tolerance for the boy was almost at its end. If it wasn't for the fact that her weekly bonus was depending on this exclusive interview, she would have snapped a long time ago. However, she wasn't going to let a smart mouthed brat ruin her plans and she was going to continue with the interview... with or without his consent.
She turned back to her camera man and gave a pleasant smile. "Sorry for the delay folks, its time to get on with our interview! Just weeks ago, we received news in Atmos city that a young man was able to pilot one of the prototype IS, and here he is now!" At that cue, the camera man focused the camera lens on the boy as he still refused to turn around.
"According to our sources, this young man was an orphan and attended high school like any other normal kid until an instructor from IS academy came to the town to scout promising pilots. This would eventually lead to our star over here showcasing his talents as an IS pilot and giving the world a second male pilot!"
The boy snarled silently as Angela kept rambling on with her story and wanted to get at least some peaceful shut eye on his way to IS academy. From the reporters continuously hounding him, to the girls constantly trying to talk to him, he never had any time for himself to just stop and think where his life was headed or how much of a change it would be. Either way, he didn't like the fact that his guardians shipped him to the academy without even asking him, he was going to kick his adopted father's ass when he got back.
"So young man, do you have a name?" Angela got to the root of the question as she finished her long monologue.
Conceding, he decided that he would at least answer that question just to get them to stop pressuring him. He let his hands fall back on the soft floor of the boat and tucked his body in as he jumped right up with his legs shooting forward and landed on the ground. Those around him were mildly impressed with his show of athletic ability and clapped in response as he casually walked up to the edge of the boat as he watched the boat slowly sail towards IS Academy.
He turned back and gave the group a large grin as he smiled. "Nagi, that's my name.'
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it. Also, those of you who have seen/watched Mahou Sensei Negima, you are probably thinking "Wait, is that Nagi from Negima!?'". Yes, it is lol. It's not really a cross over, just Nagi's appearance/personality in Infinite Stratos, disregarding his powers. If you don't like it, aw well. If you do, watch out for the next chapter.
