Chapter 1
Everyone living in Island-1 was excited for Sheryl Nome's live concert. Almost all of stunt flyers hired for the concert were going over their formation on the top of the Mihoshi Academy school building. One of the two stunt flyers who weren't going over the formation was a boy looking at a visual of the formation on his laptop.
"From a triple loop to a sudden turn and ascension, it's looking good."
"That sucks." The stunt flyer with the laptop and one of the practicing stunt flyers turned their attention at the other non-busy flyer was bored and just folded his paper plane. "I could do five."
"We're just doing a show at a concert. The risk is too high." The bored flyer didn't say anything as he made sure his plane was perfect. "But I see that you're confident as always, Alto-hime."
"What did you call me?!"
"Ha ha. You're so cute when you're angry."
"What did you say?!"
"Are they at it again?" The stunt flyer with the laptop looked up to see a young girl with brown shoulder-length hair walk up to him. "They're always like this. But it's kind of amusing to watch them fight."
The girl was wearing the school uniform for the female students of Mihoshi Academy. She sat down next to the boy as she watched the two boys fight with amusement in her pink eyes.
"I guess watching Michel-senpai and Alto-senpai fight is kinda amusing. What are you doing here, Shiori-san?"
"I wanted to see you how you guys were doing." Shiori got bored watching Alto and Michel fight and decided to see what the boy was working on his laptop. "What are you working on, Luca?"
"This is a visual of the formation we'll be doing at the concert. I'm kind of worried about how it will turn out at the concert."
"Well I'm sure that it will go great." Shiori took out her plush phone (A/N: it's like Ranka's but blue) to read the text message she just received. "I have to go to work now. I'll see you at the concert."
"I hope I don't get caught by the boss." Shiori snuck out of the changing room while wearing her waitress uniform. "I can't believe how late I am for work."
"Shiori-chan, did you just show up for work?" Shiori turned around to a purple-haired waitress with glasses. "You better start working before you get caught."
"I guess I should. Are you going to Sheryl's concert, Nana-san?"
"Sorry. I wasn't able to get a ticket."
"I see. That's too bad."
"But at least you're not going alone. Ranka-san was able to get one."
"Honto ni? Ranka-chan wa doko? I want to tell her that I also got a ticket to see Sheryl." Shiori looked around until she saw a green-haired waitress waiting in front of the kitchen counter for her order. "Ranka-chan, guess what." Ranka turned around when Shiori walked up to her. "I got a ticket to see Sheryl!"
"Honto ni?! Watashi wa tottemo ureshii yo!" Ranka suddenly hugged Shiori, almost causing her to fall back. "Now I won't be going to the concert by myself tomorrow!"
"Omaetachi!" Ranka and Shiori were almost startled when the chef suddenly held out a dish in front of them. "Do I have to keep reminding you about not letting my special pork dish get cold again?!"
"Gomennasai." Shiori grabbed the dish before Ranka could lift her hand to grab it. "I'll take over from here. You go ahead and take a break, Ranka-chan."
"Arigato, Shiori-chan."
"I wonder what's taking Ranka-chan so long." Shiori checked the time on her plush phone before looking around for Ranka. "She's not even answering her phone. I hope she didn't get lost somewhere."
Shiori was wearing a white headband, a pink tank top, a white sailor skirt, and brown calf-length boots. She walked around the area in front of the concert and tried to look for her through the large crowd. Unfortunately, she was too short to see above the crowd of people in front of her.
"I can't see above these people. I have to find another way to get a higher view." Shiori looked around until she noticed a tree nearby. "Maybe I can get a better view from there."
It took a while for Shiori to push her way through the crowd before she reached the tree. She stepped onto the bench next to the tree and jumped to grab one of the tree's branches before pulling herself up. Once she was on the branch, she sat down on it and tried to find Ranka in the crowd.
"Nani wo suru, Shiori-chan?" Shiori looked down to see Michel, who was already suited up for the concert, looking up at her. "You shouldn't be climbing trees if you're going to end up being stuck again."
"I am not stuck."
"Really? Then why aren't you getting down?" Shiori gave Michel and upset pout before looking away from him. "You're always acting childish." Shiori looked down at Michel to see that he was holding out his arms in front of him. "Just jump so I can catch you."
Shiori carefully tried to stand but failed when she slipped and fell off the branch and landed in Michel's arms. Michel looked down at her with a smirk on his face before placing Shiori on her feet so she could fix her skirt.
"So what were you doing up in that tree?"
"I was trying to look for Ranka-chan, but I can't find her anywhere."
"Ranka-chan is probably inside or in front of the entrance since the concert's about to start. I'll go take you there."
"But shouldn't you be waiting with the other stunt flyers?"
"I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to escort a little girl into the concert."
"I'm not that short! I'm almost as tall as Luca!"
Michel smiled at Shiori before they started heading to the main entrance of the concert hall where they found Ranka trying to look for Shiori. Once the two girls went into the concert hall together, Michel left to meet up with the other stunt flyers.
"Everyone, thank you for coming to watch Sheryl Nome live performance!" The crowd cheered even louder as they wait for Sheryl to appear. "Here she is! The 'Galactic Fairy' herself, Sheryl Nome!"
The spotlight suddenly turned off, and the inside of the whole auditorium was suddenly pitch black. Shiori and Ranka were standing somewhere in the middle of the crowd as their excitement started to rise with the tension in the building.
"Watashi no uta kike!"
The lights were suddenly turned on as the music started to play, signaling the stunt flyers to launch. Like everyone else in the audience, Shiori and Ranka watched the stunt flyers in awe before listening to Sheryl sing one of her songs. During the middle of the song, Alto lost control of his wings and started flying towards Sheryl from behind. Sheryl fell off the platform as Alto flew down to and caught her before she reached the ground. By Sheryl's orders, Alto started to fly around the inside of the auditorium with the other stunt flyers following him. Shiori released the breath she was holding when the concert continued to go on smoothly.
"Baka. Always causing some trouble." Shiori continued to listen to Sheryl sing while the stunt flyers flew above the audience with small camera's in their helmets. "But I can't blame him for trying to have fun."
The concert continued until it was stopped when the lights in the auditorium were turned on. A woman walked onto the stage and escorted Sheryl off the stage, disappointing majority of the audience. Shiori look up to see Michel talking on his cell phone.
"Roger. We'll return immediately." Michel hung up his phone to end the call before looking down at Shiori, who was looking up at him. "Let's go, Luca."
"Hey!" Michel and Luca got off the bridge and fly out of the concert hall. "Michel! Luca!" Alto looked down at Shiori but saw that she had left somewhere. "Shiori?"
Alto flew off the bridge and out of the auditorium through the back door. He flew up onto the roof of the concert hall and was shocked by the sight of parts of the shield fall onto the city. He noticed Sheryl being escorted into a black car by guards as he flew down and skated towards her but were stopped by a couple of armed guards.
"Hey! What is this?" The woman who had escorted Sheryl was about to go into the car but stopped when Alto told her to wait. "There are still people inside! Are you going to run away by yourselves?!"
"This is a job for professionals." Sheryl was sitting in the car with an expression as though she had no care of what was happening. "Get back, amateur."
"What? They're all here to see you. Are you going to run away all by yourself?!" Hearing no response, Alto shoved the guards away from him. "And you call yourself a professional?"
Alto was flying off towards the shield until he noticed a huge, red, bug-like alien weapon walking across the city. Military tanks tried shooting at it but didn't even make it flinch. The alien weapon noticed Alto and started shooting at him until it hit one of his wings. Alto was losing control as he started flying towards the ground and was able to safely land unharmed. He looked up as a VF-25 flying towards the alien weapon.
"Get out of the way, kid! You're getting in the way of my job!" The pilot was caught by surprise when the alien weapon grabbed the arms of his fighter to keep him from escaping. "Damn it! I won't let you walk all over us!"
"Lieutenant Gillian!"
Alto looked and was surprised to see Shiori standing nearby with a shocked look on her face. The alien weapon turned its attention to Shiori, giving Gillian the chance to eject out of his fighter. He flew down to stand near the alien weapon and started shooting it with his machine gun.
Look out!" The alien weapon suddenly grabbed Gillian and started to tighten its grasp around his body. "Lieutenant Gillian!" Shiori noticed Gillian's gun on the ground as she started running towards it. "Let him go!" She picked up the gun and started shooting at the alien weapon, but it wouldn't stop crush Gillian to death. "Yamete!"
Shiori watched in fear as she watched Gillian be completely crushed with his blood falling onto the ground. She fell dropped the machine gun as she fell down onto her knees with tears in her eyes. She was snapped out of her shock when she heard a familiar cry nearby as she looked and was surprised to see Ranka sitting on the ground in fear.
"Ranka-chan!" Shiori looked at the alien weapon and saw that it was walking towards Ranka. "Oh no you don't!" She quickly ran over to Ranka and tried to convince her to get up and run, but Ranka was too scared to move. "Ranka-chan, you have to get out of here!"
Shiori looked up at the alien weapon saw that it was being shot at by the VF-25. She looked at the said fighter and was surprised to see Alto piloting it.
'Baka! He's going to get himself killed!'
