DAYDREAM warrior
Prologue
"Waltz, is everything fine in your positon?"
"No signs of the king. No ground movements either." The young man called Waltz inspected the area inside his Warrior.
Ever since the appearance of the giant insects called the invaders—their objective is to invade the earth as they were named, it has been kept secret from the people outside the government to avoid riots. A special force was made to make sure that there would be no sightings of invaders to the cities near the jungles, seas, and the like.
"Alright, let's comeback. Waltz, get ready for school after."
"I'm not going Tango. The safety of the earth is much more important than going to school."
"Sheesh, okay, okay."
Kimi no kokoro wa, kagayaiteru kai?
"What the heck Tango? Are you really that obsessed with idols?" a brunette came out of the shower wearing a black shirt and black pants, matched with untied black combat boots. He glared at the short haired blonde with his black orbs. His white skin shining with the fluorescent bulb that lighted the room.
"Sheesh, Akinari. I mean, Waltz. We're out of work right now, I'm no longer Tango but is now Peter!" Peter sighed and leaned on his chair. "Aqours is such a good group! Other than that, they're a bunch of pretty high schoolers, just like us!" he added.
"Shimazaki Peter, shut it." Akinari sat at the side of his bed and tied his shoes.
"Just look at how pretty my Kanan is! Isn't she a babe?" Peter opened his phone and selected a group photo, then zoomed it on a tall girl whose blue hair tied on a high ponytail—Matsuura Kanan from Aqours.
"A babe? She looks pretty much a normal girl to me." Hearing his response, the blonde sighed. "I almost forgot, you like traditional girls better, right?" He then slid the photo a bit revealing a black long haired girl whose hair was cut in a himecut—Kurosawa Dia.
"Her breasts might not be that big, but boy her skin looks smooth and she's pretty too!"
"What the heck Pete. Do not lewd on the President's daughter."Akinari brushed his hair backwards then stood up from his bed. "I'm up to train."
"H-hey! Aki, Ruby's cute too! Oh and Hanamaru too!" Akinari closed the door without even hearing what Peter wanted to say more.
Yoshioka Akinari, 18 years old and is a top member of the Invader Annihilation Force. He frequently skips school and trains instead.
He is a young man with a short dark brown hair, with small black eyes. His left eyebrow has a small cut. He has a lean build and stands tall.
Akinari was jogging around the Numazu area as a part of his morning training, he always has his wing or what he calls the deploying key which can send signals to the force and send him his own mechanical body called the Warrior—the weapon they use to battle with the invaders and can also ring when there is an invader response nearby. There was really no particular reason on why he always carries his deploying key when it's almost impossible for the invaders to appear in the cities.
After his training, he eats breakfast at a small café. Akinari always looks like he is living a normal life—but he isn't. Every time there is a giant invader report, he always battles in the front line, with his life at stake.
Finishing his meal, he heard a sound that must be impossible to hear from where he is right now. His deploying key is ringing. He dropped his spoon out of shock, he quickly regained his composure and went out of the café. He pressed the button to send signals to the force, and placed his earpiece on.
"Damn, there isn't any soldiers nearby. I hope this invader is just an ant or a spider." He arrived in front of a school—the Uranohoshi all-girls school. There was a tunnel exit in the middle, luckily looks like there wasn't even a single piece of an insect coming out—or maybe it has come out and is hiding somewhere behind the school? The tunnel exit caught every students attention.
"Maybe I should just report this to the headquarters, looks like this is why there has been a decline on the insects outside the cities recentl—" There was a scream.
He turned around to look at the tunnel exit again, there were giant spiders coming out. They were attacking the students and devouring them whole!
"Everyone, enter the school building. I'm going to handle everything!"
Just in time, his Warrior arrived and all of the remaining students and staffs has entered the building. When he was about to enter its cockpit, there was a student near him that was about to be eaten.
"Save me!"
He grabbed her wrist and pulled her with him inside the cockpit.
"Ma'am, this will take only a few minutes. Please don't move a lot and relax since the cockpit's really small." He felt her heaviness as she sat on his lap while he piloted the Warrior.
"W-What are those? I-I've never seen bugs that big before!"
"Relax, you'll be safe with me. I'll explain everything later."
Later his screen became filled with purple liquid from the insects. "Damn, they're really hard to battle with when you're alone." He can't see a thing. He felt his Warrior getting attacked.
"Is this the en—" He heard a blasting noise—something like a lazer gun.
He opened the cockpit to check what was going on— there was a red and black Warrior that killed the insects and closed the tunnel exit. "That color scheming of an Empress Type Warrior—there's only a single person who pilots a Warrior like that. This is the Bloody Diamond." He thought to himself.
The other Warrior's cockpit opened and revealed a long black haired girl. She was wearing a sailor uniform with a turquoise tie—Kurosawa Dia, one of the two daughters of the Force's President. He has battled her once, but that was a long time ago.
He quickly saluted to her. "Salute, I am Yoshioka Akinari of I.A.F. 's First Unit, codename Waltz. It's an honor to have been saved by your highness!"
"How careless of you to get your Warrior's window tainted by a Spider's blood like that. That's a bzzt-bzzt." She smirked.
All of the students were escorted by I.A.F.'s members on their way home. One of them was Tsushima Yoshiko, who was escorted by the same man that saved her a while ago.
"I-uhm… Thanks from earlier. If you didn't save me maybe I'm being digested right now." Yoshiko cant even look at him, she was blushing.
"I only did my duty." Akinari smiled at the girl he was walking home with. "I am Yoshioka Akinari, a soldier from I.A.F." He introduced.
"I am Yohane, a fallen angel." While she was serious, Akinari just laughed and looked at her. "That's cute, I see you just finished middle school." He added.
"What are those things earlier?" Yoshiko asked.
"Those are a specie of invader. Invaders are a threat to the Earth. Our force was formed to make sure that the existence of the Invaders are kept secret to the whole world." He then sighed. "This is where you live, right? Well then, I'll be taking my leave." He patted Yoshiko's head and ran to the opposite direction. Something dropped that Yoshiko immediately noticed, she picked it up and inspected the small gold plated wing that has a red crystal like stone in the middle of the wing. It was something like a device—for what is this, anyway? She thought.
"Peter, have you seen my deploying key?" Akinari was rummaging through the uniform he wore earlier.
"Huh? Your Wing? Don't you always have it with you?" Peter answered as he buttoned up his black dress shirt. They were called for a meeting.
"It's not here." Akinari replied. "Just get a new one issued, I'm sure they would allow it since you're one of the top members of the first unit." Peter tied his red necktie while advising Akinari to just get a reissued one.
"No. If an outsider gets to use it, I'll be in a big trouble." Soon, Peter realized why he can't get a reissued one easily. Akinari thinks he dropped it after attack in Uchiura.
The door suddenly opened and revealed a small thin boy, his short greyish brown hair tied in a ponytail and his large blue orbs made him look like a girl—but both Peter and Akinari knows that girls aren't allowed to join the force, of course the eldest daughter of the force's president is an exception. It was their unit's captain, and is also Dia's guard—Watanabe. Only his last name was known in the whole force, his first name remains unknown.
"Captain Watanabe. Salute." Both of them saluted at the high ranking officer in front of them.
"Carry on. Yoshioka, come with me to the President's office." Even with his voice, it sounded so female.
"Yes Sir."
On the hallways, Akinari cant hide his worry about his missing wing.
"I'll have your old wing disabled and have you have a reissued one. Please relax." He said before opening the twin sliding doors to the office.
"U-Uhm.. Thank you sir." He thanked.
"No problem. I'm the unit's leader so I should be as responsible to take care of those under me." Akinari saw him in a different light, that even though it puts all of them to shame that the leader of a unit full of 18-20 year-olds is a sixteen year-old high school student.
When they entered the office, there was the President and Dia. They were about to salute when the president stopped them and offered them seats.
"Captain Watanabe and Dia, mind leaving the room for a bit?" the two nodded and left the room. Akinari was left inside with the President.
"Akinari. Would you consider upgrading your Knight type to Angel type?" he offered.
"S-Sir, are you sure you're offering it to the right person?"
"Yes. You're the one who bought time for my daughter a while ago. Also, the way you handle your knight type during sea battles—where it is hard to battle, is very excellent. You are perfect to join the Force's Main Unit. And become a guard to my daughters."
"President Kurosawa. I'm already okay being with the first unit."
"If you're worried about Capt. Watanabe, you will be going with him to the first unit—that is if you accept this offer. Mr. Peter Shimazaki would be replacing Capt. Watanabe as the First Unit's leader."
"I'll accept the offer." Akinari knew that this is the better choice, no one knows what might happen to that little town when the invaders start to attack from below again.
"Well then, come with me for compatibility check-ups."
"Yes, sir."
"Ruby, why aren't you not that scared of the giant monsters a while ago?" Yoshiko asked through the phone as she and her two more classmates are having a conference call.
"Now that you asked about it-zura, I'm curious too-zura."
"Uhm… I used to watch Big sis train in the past. And our father is the current president of the Special Force." She answered.
"But Dia-senpai sure looks cool when she went out of the robot's head a while ago-zura. She's an idol, she's a student council president, she's good at everything-zura! She's just so amazing!"
"Yeah. She really is cool." To Yoshiko, there was another person whom she found cooler than Dia—it was the young man that saved her from being eaten.
She looked at her wrist that was pulled by Akinari earlier. Everything flashed back.
"A-AAHHH! It's so scary! Someone save me! Help!" She was crying for help as she saw everyone enter the school building, she wanted to enter too but the giant spiders are blocking her way. She heard something drop down from the sky—it was a giant robot.
"Save me!"
Someone pulled her wrist and when she came back to her senses, she was inside a cockpit that she only sees on sci-fi movies, while sitting on a man's lap. It made her feel uneasy, but then the young man told her to keep quiet and relax as he assured her that they are safe inside the robot which he called Warrior.
Inside the robot he held her tightly, as if he was protecting her from the giant spiders that he is currently killing. He looked like a big brother, he kept on smiling at her to make sure she doesn't get that scared.
"Damn, they're really hard to battle with when you're alone." On numerous screens in front of him, he kept on typing codes that only he can understand. He look so troubled, as if the smile on his face from a while ago was swept and is replaced by fear.
"First Unit, Yoshioka Akinari, Codename Waltz. Switching to Angel-type test, successful. 100% Compatibility."
Inside a winged Warrior, Akinari leaned back. He was sweaty, all the wires attached to his neck were suddenly disconnected. He opened the cockpit's door and when he got out, he almost collapsed.
