Chapter 1: A New Recruit

Kazuya's POV

"Whooooooa." i said. Man, the Luxiole's hangar was huge.

"Impressive, eh? And this is just the hangar alone." a female voice to my left said.

Before i get too carried away, let me give a rundown on what was going on. I had just been selected to join the Rune Angel Wing. After undergoing training under former Moon Angel Forte, a 26-year-old redhead with very large breasts, she and i had taken a shuttle to the Luxiole, the battleship which housed the NEUE Emblem Frames. At the moment there were only three of them in the hangar.

In the middle of the three was an orange one, identified as Unit 001, Cross Caliber. To its right sat the light blue First Aider, Unit 003; the green Spell Caster, Unit 004, was on Cross Caliber's left. Way over to the left was a cyan Emblem Frame that they simply referred to as 'Unit Z'; nobody had managed to get it working yet.

"Forte, long time no se." a male voice said. Looking away from the Emblem Frames i noticed two figures. One was a male with blue hair and brown eyes, and next to him was what looked like a 14-year-old girl with orange hair.

"Right back atcha, Tact." Forte responded.

Takuto Meyers, Tact for short, had been made a Brigadier General when NEUE was found, and he had been put in charge of the Luxiole. I mean, what did you expect from the guy who led the Moon Angels to victory four years ago?

"This the new guy?" Tact asked Forte.

"Yeah. Second Lieutenant Kazuya Shiranami." i said. "Whose your friend?"

"Oh, right. Kazuya, this is Apricot Sakuraba. Pilot of Cross Caliber." Tact said, putting his hand on the orange-haired girl's shoulder.

Forte gasped. I have no idea why, but the orange-haired girl squealed, grabbed Tact, and threw him towards the ceiling. He came down pretty hard, fortunately having missed landing on his head. That has to have hurt, though, 'cause the floor was metal.

"Sorry about that." she said, a pink blush to her cheeks. "Kazuya, is it?"

"Yeah. I'm new here."

"Name's Apricot, but you can call me Rico."

"Any relation to Milfeulle?" i asked.

"She's my big sister."

"Milfie was Unit 001 of the Moon Angel Wing." Forte said.

"Which one were you?" i asked her.

"Unit 004. I better get going, probably shouldn't have left everything to Lily." Forte said. She then climbed back into the shuttle and left.

"At least it wasn't me this time." a male voice said. That was when a male with waist-length black hair walked up. "I don't think i've seen you around here before."

"I just got here. Kazuya Shiranami."

"Jace Davies, resident prankster."

"Prankster?"

"We need someone to break the tension."

"Break the tension? Your pranks always cause it to spike." Rico retorted.

"Well, Nano always gives in to her catgirl instincts whenever i pull that laser out, and Tequila keeps putting her chest where i can reach it. On top of that, Coronet's always in the wrong place at the wrong time whenever i have to race out of the hangar. And speaking of which, gotta go!" With that, Jace ran off.

"So, should we start the tour?" Tact asked.

"Sure. If i'm gonna be here i might as well know the layout so i don't get lost." With that, the tour was on. Tact had to leave once we got to the bridge, at which point Rico took over. As we entered the Piroti i noticed Jace standing around, holding a laser pointer.

Looking up toward an artificial tree i noticed a catgirl with sky blue hair was on top. What happened next shocked me. The catgirl jumped off, a red dot on the ceiling - and fell into a pool of water that i swear hadn't been there before.

"DAMNIT JACE!" the catgirl yelled as her head poked up.

"By any chance, are you Nano?" i asked. "I'm new here. Name's Kazuya Shiranami."

"Oh. Yeah, that's me. Nano-Nano Pudding, First Aider pilot. Can't believe Jace pulled that on me again. He's able to summon a pool of water out of nowhere. Scary part is he can place it with wicked accuracy. It's like he can predict where i'm gonna land when i jump for that laser while he's got it pointed at the ceiling."

"He got you again, huh?" a new female asked. This one had blonde hair and was wearing light green gloves that reached past her elbows, a green skirt (at least right now it looked like a skirt), and white thigh-high boots with a two inch heel. She then noticed me. "Oh, a new guy. Kahlua Marjoram, resident mage and pilot of Unit 004."

"Kazuya Shiranami. Just transferred here."

"Say, do you think of magic as scary?" Kahlua asked.

"It's not something i would fear. By the way, do you know of someone named Tequila?"

"Come down to the potion room and i'll show you."

On that note, Rico and i continued the tour. After meeting Coronet (who had a couple of bruises from her collisions with Jace) and Croix in the hangar, Melba in the Tea Lounge, Luco in the shop, and Maria in the engine room we arrived in the potion room. What looked like a black cat with only a head was in there, along with Kahlua, Nano, and, to my surprise, Jace.

"The black cat is my familiar, Mimolette." Kahlua said as i noticed it. Jace then handed her what looked like a cup of water.

"Kahlua, don't -" Rico started, but it was too late; Kahlua drank it all down. That's when the surprise happened, as her hair turned purple and her breasts expanded (revealing what i thought was a skirt to be a strapless dress in the process, as her jacket opened as a result of the increase in her breast size).

"Falls for it every time." Jace said.

"Jace is always spiking whatever drink he gives her. Kahlua becomes Tequila whenever she's exposed to alcohol." Rico explained, having noticed my raised eyebrow.

"Especially as it allows me to do this." Jace added, pulling the part of her dress concealing her breasts down. He then turned around and ran.

"DAMNIT JACE!" Tequila yelled, surprisingly sober. "And he had to do it in front of the new guy too. He's got some nerve."

After that incident, Rico and i continued the tour. Imagine how surprised i was when i discovered my old classmate Lunti Fiadone was the Luxiole's head chef. We eventually returned to the bridge, where Jace just so happened to be.

"Hey Tact, we've got a transmission request." Coco said.

"Open it."

Anise's POV

Man, those guys don't know what's coming. It took only twenty seconds for the transmission request i sent was opened.

"Hey there, beautiful." a male with waist-length black hair said as soon as the screen appeared.

My breath hitched in my throat. I couldn't tell, but most of my face had gone scarlet as well. Something about this guy made my heart race. This was the very first time i've seen him, and he had THIS much of an effect on me?! Could i ALREADY have a crush on someone i only just met?

"So, cutie, what's your name?" he asked.

"Anise Azeat." i answered shyly.

"A beautiful name befitting a beautiful girl such as yourself."

The way he spoke, my confidence just left me. I was nothing more than a blushing, stuttering mess under the suave tone he spoke to me with.

"And that gorgeous outfit suits you quite well."

"O-o-o-oh, this? I-i-i've had it f-f-forever." i stuttered. I know my answer was a bit cliche, but with how shy his suave voice had reduced me to it was the only one i could think of, and i couldn't keep myself from stuttering as i said it. That's when i saw two other boys running towards the door in the background.

"Where are those two going?" i asked.

"Well, i HOPE they're only headed to the bathroom." the black-haired male answered.

This wasn't gonna end well for me if i didn't get out of here soon. The Luxiole was the carrier housing the NEUE Emblem Frames. And the way he emphasized the word 'hope', that meant the Angel Wing would probably be deployed against me.

"Uh, i gotta go. But before i do, may i have your name?" i asked.

"Jace Davies at your service, m'lady."

"Jace, i hope we meet again." i said. With that i cut the transmission and jumped into Chrono Drive.
