Prologue

Times were dark. At the worst time possible they arrived. Alien, monster, mutants, call them what you want, I just wanted them gone. Programs were employed, like the Spartan Ops. or the IS armor systems, but they weren't fast enough. Bounty hunters made themselves known. They worked for the highest bidder. Unfortunately, those who could afford a bounty hunter were all selfish and only ensured their own protection. The rest of us were forced to run back and hide. Months, years, even a decade passed and all hope seemed lost until, they came. The Spartan Ops. program was completed and the first batch of IS pilots arrived. They saved us. They saved me. But... by the time they made it, I lost everything. My house, my friends, and my family, all gone. All gone to keep me safe. That's when I made a decision. I am going to make sure that no one ever has to feel so weak or so lonely. My name is Jishaku and starting tomorrow I will be a student at IS Academy.

January 28, 2027

"Well, it looks like I'm finally here. IS Academy." A boy said. He looked to be about fifteen years old. He had sky blue eyes and light blonde hair. He wore a plain grey shirt and a pair of blue jeans. He wore an odd contraption around his neck. It had two long extensions that had what looked to be plugs on the bottoms of them. Also, they had the word MEGA embedded into it. He looked and sighed saying," Oi, it's gonna take me forever to find my homeroom, in a place as big as this. I should have signed up for the Spartan ops." The boy said resigning himself to his fate.

30 Minutes Later

The teen had walked all over campus and finally found his class.

"It looks like I'm early... somehow." He thought to himself.

After walking into the classroom he looked around and thought to himself," Why are there so many girls?"

He continued to look around until he found the only other boy in the entire class. Before anyone else had the chance, he took the seat next to his fellow male.

"Hey, what's up?" The boy asked.

"Nothing much. I'm Orimura Ichika, by the way."The boy dubbed Ichika said.

"Hey, Ichika, I'm Jishaku. Nice to meet you." The boy now known as Jishaku said.

"Hello, Jishaku. Nice to meet you, too." Ichika replied.

Jishaku: Hey, Ichika.

Ichika: Yea?

Jishaku: Why are there so many girls here?

Ichika: You seriously don't know?

Jishaku: Apparently not.

Ichika: Only females are supposed to be able to pilot IS.

Jishaku: Does the that mean we're probably the only boys on Earth who can pilot IS?

Ichika: I'm pretty sure.

Jishaku: Thanks for the info, but I have one more question.

Ichika: What is it?

Jishaku: Why are all of the girls staring at us like that.

Ichika: Probably since we are the only guys in a school full of girls.

"This is gonna be a long year." Jishaku thought to himself.

After the conversation between Ichika and Jishaku finished, the bell rang and the teacher walked in, signaling the beginning of the school day.

"Hello class. My name is Maya Yamada and starting today we'll all be learning together!" Ms. Yamada said enthusiastically. She then started taking roll. Since his last name wasn't on the list she started with Jishaku.

"Excuse me, Mr. Jishaku, but your last name isn't on the list. Why is that?" Ms. Yamada asked.

"Oh, that's simple." Jishaku replied gaining everyone's attention. They all wanted to know reason for this.

"I don't know it." He stated, making everyone face fall over their desks.

"What do you mean you don't know it?!" Everyone shouted making Jishaku cringe.

"Well my family was murdered by... them. I was too young to remember my last name, I barely remember my first." Jishaku said, sadness evident in his eyes. But before anyone could feel sad for him he spoke up saying," But no matter what I don't want pity. It reminds me of my weakness. It is my dream... no my goal to make sure that no one ever has to feel that weak or lonely. I WILL take them down and I WILL put 110% in my effort to make sure the damage they have done is repaired!"

With this everyone started to look at Jishaku with respect. Unfortunately, or not, for him another adult walked in and smacked him in the back of the head with a book that was broken upon impact.

"Stop it that tickles." Jishaku stated, while chuckling.

"Damn it, I liked that book. Who is this kid." Thought the second adult.

She turned to Ms. Yamada who asked," The meeting is over already?" and replied saying," Yes and sorry for having you look over my class."

The mysterious woman then looked at the class and Ichika then said," Sis?!" Which earned him a smack with a brand new book that looked exactly the same as the other.

"It's Orimura -sensei, in class." Ms. Orimura said.

"Didn't you just break that book?" Jishaku asked.

"No, that was you. This is a new one." Ms. Orimura said." How did you do that..." She asked, trailing off.

"The name's Jishaku and I'm naturally hard - headed." Jishaku replied." Who are you?" He asked.

She smirked and put one hand on her hip and used the other to point towards the class and said," Glad you asked, brat! My name is Chifuyu Orimura and starting today I'll be your teacher!"

Whispers started then turned into all - out screams. Most of the females of the class were saying many different things but they all revolved around Chifuyu.

Jishaku leaned over to Ichika and whispered," Damn, your sister is popular. Care to explain?"

Ichika replied whispering," Did you live under a rock all of your life?"

"No, in a cave across from a junkyard." Jishaku replied casually making Ichika sweat drop.

"My sister is a first generation pilot, won the first Mondo Grosso, and was a finalist for the second." Ichika said, a hint of sadness at the end.

"Well, that would explain why she is so well known." Jishaku said trying to change the subject. Before their conversation could continue Jishaku pushed Ichika backed just in time to dodge the book heading his way.

"Th - thanks Jishaku." Ichika said, shocked at how quickly Jishaku had managed to get both of them out of the way.

"No problem but, we should pay attention so that doesn't happen again." Jishaku replied.

"Right." Ichika said.

Time Skip: After Class

All of new the students had spent the day getting introduced to their teachers and figuring where to go to get where. It was kind of like an extra day to get used to the environment. Everyone was now heading back to their rooms to see what the dorms were like, who their dorm mate was, and to get some R&R done. Jishaku made sure to stay out of most of the girls sites until he found Ichika.

"Hey, Ichika." Jishaku said.

"What's up, Jishaku?" Ichika asked.

"I was heading to my room and I was wondering if your room would be close so that we could hang out."Jishaku replied.

"I'm in room 1028. What about you?" Ichika said.

"Wow, really? Same here!" Jishaku responded." We should run before any of the girls ease dropping get there." He continued.

"You're probably right." Ichika said before the two boys took off, soon to be followed by a sea of girls. When they got to the dorm rooms, the two boys took every short cut possible but the girls managed to keep up. They saw their room and thought they were in the clear until girls appeared on the other side of the hall and started charging towards them. They made it to their dorm and Ichika opened it. Within the spam of three seconds Jishaku pushed Ichika inside, jumped in as well, and closed and locked the door.

"That... was too close." Jishaku said breathing hard but otherwise normal.

"Yea, no kidding." Ichika said panting.

"I need something to relax with. That was just too stressful."Jishaku muttered to himself.

"Have you tried Net Battling?" Ichika asked.

"...What would you say if I've never heard of that?" Jishaku asked. His answer came to him in the form of a book hitting his face.

"...Were the f**k did you get that book." Jishaku asked holding back his rage from the imminent answer.

"My sister gave it to me. She said would come in handy." Ichika replied.

"Note to self: kick Chifuyu's ass." Jishaku thought.

"Any way, what is Net Battling?"Jishaku asked.

"Basically, it's you and another person having avatars fight." Ichika summed up.

"That sounds high in violence.

... Where do I sign up?" Jishaku said.

"All you need is a Navi, a Navi Comp, and basically any type of technology." Ichika replied.

"I have a IS Academy standard issue laptop." Jishaku stated.

"Ok, that could work. Here, I have a spare Navi and comp." Ichika said handing him the items.

"Thanks." Jishaku said accepting the items." Sooo... what do I do now?" Jishaku asked.

"You see the cord on the side? Plug that into your laptop." Ichika said.

Jishaku did as he was told and a loading screen flashed onto his laptop. When it finished loading, a man in a red armor - like suit with a purple energy sword sticking out of his hand popped up onto his screen.

"So cool! Hey there. I'm Jishaku what's your name?" Was Jishaku's response to that.

"My name is Protoman. It is very nice to meet you." The now named Protoman said.

"Well I'm off to take a shower, then bed. G'night Ichika. G'night Protoman." Jishaku said before heading to the shower.
