Truth Be Told: 4th wall Interview

by i'mherepresent

This is a bit weird but, I had to do it. This is a gag story where the cast of TbT will be put in the hot seat and asked the questions which matters. Warning for a little weirdness here and there XD [Updated the PART 2 of Shiori's interview before I go to my vacation XD]

1. Chapter 1

Truth Be Told: 4th wall Interview

A/N: Okay guys, first of all I would like to thank Tempest35 for inspiring me to do this somewhat weird story. At first I did not think this as a good idea but now after being involved in the "Ask Chifuyu-nee thread" in Animesuki which was being maintained by Tempest35 I changed my mind and decided to write this. XD

So basically this story is about me interviewing the canon and my own OC in TbT, you can imagine what it is from there on right so let's get started. Oh yeah, I'm in the story too as the interviewer.

Also readers can PM me the questions that they wanted to ask for the next character to be interviewed and I will ask those questions to the characters. XD

Disclaimer: I don't own Infinite Stratos (except for my plot and OCs), it belongs to Izuru Yumizuru.

Interview #1

Okay here I am, I'mherepresent, putting myself in the story as the interviewer of my own characters.

I'm not going to describe myself here because I am not the focus of this story, but rather my characters which I will interview later.

Well let's get started for today, this is after all the first episode of this weird story and I'll not delay it any longer.

The venue is here, the interview room of the academy (don't ask me how I got permission XD), where the first person to be interviewed is waiting.

I barged into the door and saw a petite yet good-looking girl sitting at the table with two seats; she was rather annoyed, probably because of waiting for me.

[Start of interview]

I'mherepresent: Sorry for the wait Ms. Madoka.

Madoka: Sorry!? What the hell!? I have been here for 3 minutes! 3 MINUTES!

I'mherepresent: 3 minutes doesn't seem to be enough to get angry about, the not even noticeable for anyone.

Madoka: Every minute is important for me, because you have all the time in the world and just write about your stories, while me here I'm stuck in this place with so much competition for the attention of–! (Covers her mouth with a red face)

I'mherepresent: … I understand (makes a smug face)

Madoka: Grrrr…

(Madoka's aura bursts out)

I'mherepresent: Okay, okay, so let's not squabble anymore and start with the interview, so that we can finish quicker and you can go back to your beloved onii-chan. (Snickers)

Madoka: Why you piece of… Hmph! We'll come on let's start with this stupid interview already! I want to get out of here; I still have some stupid classes you know.

I'mherepresent: Don't worry I'll make this as painless as possible… I think… So first question Ms. Madoka what are your thoughts about your current situation now, being a normal student, out of [Phantom Task] and finally with your nee-san and nii-chan.

Madoka: Are you trying to imply something?

I'mherepresent: No nothing at all, just an innocent question.

Madoka: Well… I would say… this is better… I mean now, I am not in deadly mission, always being ordered all the time… well I'm still being ordered here and especially still not away from the danger of dying, but this is more preferable for me… since I can spend some time with nee-san and my baka-nii.

I'mherepresent: I reckon that you wanted to kill your nee-san and probably Ichika in the past. Why?

Madoka: W-Well I don't what the reason for canon but here… I just… I was just bitter for them leaving me there… I wanted to come with them too… but they left me and they lived together and DID LOTS OF THINGS, VERY LE… ahem… I mean um… They are obstacles to me. (Turns the other way with an uneasy face as red as cherries)

I'mherepresent: About the last part I did get tha– BBFFFH! (Gets hit on the head with a handchop from Madoka)

Madoka: Next question!

(After a few moments of recovering…)

I'mherepresent: Alright, following up on your new life, what are your thoughts about it? About the persons you hang with now and your school life too.

Madoka: As for my school life, I have no complaints on it. I'm used to waking up early and doing some tedious assignments, honestly for me being an agent in [Phantom Task] is far worse and the things I do there makes the student here call 'strict school life' look like a walk in the park.

I'mherepresent: How about IS trainings?

Madoka: Not a problem either, you know my abilities right, not just as a pilot but as an Orimura. (Smiles smugly)

I'mherepresent: Yeah but you're the weakest.

Madoka: Still that's more than enough for me to beat up the pests that dare challenge me! (Angrily slams on the table with her hands while snarling)

I'mherepresent: O-Okay, whatever you say. I'm sure you'll gain a power boost pretty soon and hopefully on the chest area too. (Mumbles the last part)

Madoka: What was that…

(Her [Jaaku Reiki] blows out)

[A few moments later…]

I'mherepresent: Okay, after my near death experience… let's get back on the interview… So about the new faces around you, how do you feel about them?

Madoka: … You want me to say how I feel about those loose girl and bimbos who don't know a thing about the world… keh! So who among them exactly.

I'mherepresent: First let's start with your brother's friends. Ms. Houki Shinonono, Ms. Cecilia Alcott, Ms. Huang Linying, Ms. Charlotte Dunois, Ms. Laura Bodewig, Ms. Tatenashi Sarashiki, Ms. Kanzashi Sarashiki and Ms. Lee Yu Na.

Madoka: Tch!

I'mherepresent: Um… that's all?

Madoka: What you want me to say my real thoughts?

I'mherepresent: Well, that's the point.

Madoka: (Sigh)… Well let me say this in a serious manner… to me they are making a mistake. They have no idea what kind of sick twisted game that surrounds Ichika. Believe it or not but I fear for them when mom finds their existence a wee bit irritating, not that I care for their lives but because I fear what it will do to Ichika…

I'mherepresent: So you're more concerned for your brother's case?

Madoka: Of course, but to be fair, I think now they have somewhat mature, I mean they don't lash out at him as frequently as before, their piloting also improved by a lot but still not enough to say that they can go and defeat me. They'll need more time for that and I have not yet tapped me full powers yet.

I'mherepresent: Well you are an Orimura. Another question if you were to choose one of the eight girls who follow around your brother, who will it be?

Madoka: Who I like… you know for a fact that I don't like anybody right?

I'mherepresent: Yeah… except for your brother.

Madoka: Grrr! Stop repeating that! (Growls again while banging her fist on the table

I'mherepresent: Alright, alright so who is it?

Madoka: So as to finish this stupid interview, I'd say Kanzashi Sarashiki.

I'mherepresent: Why her? I mean you two never even talked.

Madoka: True but I think she has more tolerance to my brother's mistakes.

I'mherepresent: Kanzashi is very tolerant and much less prone to attacking Ichika, but surely there is another reason why you seem to like her.

Madoka: Another reason… well I guess everyone will see that soon.

I'mherepresent: Alright, let's leave it at that, spoilers like that may be bad to those who will read this so let's move on to another topic.

What about your first year classmates? What do you think about them?

Madoka: Beginners, greenhorns and inept brats.

I'mherepresent: Harsh. But despite that, even for tiny little bit. Who among them may have the chance to snag you're favor.

Madoka: None.

I'mherepresent: Are you sure because…

Madoka: NONE! N-O-N-E! NONE!

I'mherepresent: At least give me a reason why is that so?

Madoka: Because all of them are going to follow around Ichika and–MUGHHH! (Covers her mouth)

I'mherepresent: Should I include that?

Madoka: No! You twit! Come here and I'll snap your head in two.

I'mherepresent: W-Wait I'm the author here?

Madoka: I don't care who the fuck you are!? Come here! No one teases me and gets away with it!

[A few moments later of being chased by an angry Madoka]

I'mherepresent: So let's move to the next question… despite my awfully aching head and body…

Madoka: What? You complaining?

I'mherepresent: Nothing. Anyway moving on, what are your thoughts about your teachers, I don't mean the normal ones, I meant the exceptional ones.

Ones like Natasha Fairs, Satella Montgomery Hansenberg, Iris Calling, and Natalia Sheperd including the new ones like Serafina Tanbesta and Sylvia Van Hossen. How would you describe them?

Madoka: Describe huh? Well let me put it in the order you did, first that Fairs woman, she is too much of a school girl when faced against my brother. Honestly she's like a love struck girl who can't seem to confess and I do hope she doesn't confess because I will kill her!

Ahem…

Secondly, the snake woman. I think she is very much to epitome of opportunism and distrust, because even me who is vile person is on-guard when I talk to her. Her aura looks like a snake that hisses out its forked tongue that spits of lies.

Third one, that muscle head American… well I faced her before, in a battle, and I can say she is a bit of a reckless idiot. That's all I can say about her, we did not interact much in the academy after all.

Fourth for the cow-tit blonde. I'll say that she is a bit similar to the snake woman, though hers only manifests when you disobey her doctor's orders. Trust me, I know because I tried disobeying her.

And last for this Serafina Tanbesta and Sylvia Van Hossen, I really have not found out anything about them namely because they just popped out of nowhere. But two things, for the cocky Italian that thinks she can match nee-san, I suggest she try fighting Chifuyu-neesan when she is angry. (Smirks evilly)

And for that Sylvia-woman, she's just adding on the bulk of women crowding around Ichika, she's not at all helping the situation. She thinks that she has an edge just because she is older and has lots fat in that chest of hers, well she's wrong because there are a lot like her in the harem already!

I'mherepresent: Harem? Did you just say that?

Madoka: Of course, I'm not a fool not to notice it. My Ichika-nii already built a harem of the most beautiful and powerful women comprising it.

I'mherepresent: And do you consider yourself a part of it? (Grin)

Madoka: Huh? Did I just hear someone who wants to get split in half?

I'mherepresent: Okay next question before I really lose one of my limbs.

Madoka: That's what I thought.

I'mherepresent: So with your thoughts about your fellow students and teachers finished, what about your thoughts about your nee-san and nii-chan? Surely you can describe that to me without getting angry right?

Madoka: If it's just about my feelings, not about any weird shit that the readers might misinterpret then I can do that.

I'll begin with nee-san…

Well… how do it put this… basically my relationship with nee-san is like between an uncaring big sister and a reclusive little sister or an idol and a fan.

I'mherepresent: Idol and fan… are you looking at your nee-san as your idol?

Madoka: Not just my idol but my ideal image. I wanted to be like her. Because… unlike the rest of my sisters… she exhibits control over her own powers and wields them in such a way that… even I back then who was apathetic to most things became enamored of her… even though she just ignores me.

I'mherepresent: Do you feel the same now? You did try declared that you wanted to kill her.

Madoka: I know but stop taking what one said as the truth, that kind of thinking is narrow and never even comes close to what they feel.

I merely said that because of the distorted feelings I had in my heart. Back then I did know what I was doing but now I do, Ichika showed me why.

I'mherepresent: I see… so Madoka is just a misunderstood girl.

Madoka: Guuuh… (Blushes)

I'mherepresent: Speaking about Ichika, how do you feel about him? If possible for you, answer truthfully.

Madoka: Ichika… what I feel for him… well… All I have to say is… Ichika is a very weird person… a weird person who is very important in my life.

I'mherepresent: Same level as Chifuyu.

Madoka: No… different… like… IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN IT SO GET OFF MY BACK! (Stood up and screamed like crazy)

I'mherepresent: O-Okay… I won't ask anymore. It's rude to peek on the feelings of a maiden.

Madoka: Hmph! (Turns away with a blushing face)

I'mherepresent: But tell us one moment in history where Ichika showed you kindness.

Madoka: Why would I need to do that?

I'mherepresent: For the readers, well eventually they'll find out but I think it would be better if they heard it from you.

Madoka: One moment huh? Well there is that time when we were young… because I was not allowed to wander about the mansion because of certain things, with the inclusion of my mother, Ichika would often visit me and pester me to play with him.

I thought of him as annoying at first but if it hadn't for that, I would have gone insane because of the isolation. I'm very thankful to him for that…

I'mherepresent: But did you tell that to him?

Madoka: No of course not you idiot!

I'mherepresent: Why not?

Madoka: Not now… I need to find a perfect moment first before I tell him that.

I'mherepresent: A romantic confession?

Madoka: NO! WHAT THE FUCK! DO YOU WANT TO GET RIPPED APART!?

I'mherepresent: O-Okay what about your relationship with your mom?

Madoka: (…)

(Awkward silent)

I'mherepresent: (…)

Madoka: (…)

I'mherepresent: Did I ask something I shouldn't have?

Madoka: (…)

I'mherepresent: (…)

Madoka: My mother huh? You know… I always thought that mothers love their child… but I guess my mom was very much different…

I'mherepresent: Um… can you tell us about it?

Madoka: Every time she sees me she scowls and turns away… as if I don't exist… at least she could have said something to me… even just a little glimpse…

I'mherepresent: Uh…

(Awkward silence)

Madoka: (…)

I'mherepresent: (…)

Madoka: (…)

(More awkward silence)

I'mherepresent: Okay how about the question people sent us.

Here's one from B123: "If you had one last day to spend with Ichika on earth what would you do Madoka?"

Madoka: Wha!? You crazy what kind of question was that!?

I'mherepresent: That's their honest thoughts here, at least answer it with honesty (Sighs in relief because Madoka was not anymore depressed)

Madoka: Why the hell would I answer that!?

I'mherepresent: Come on, it's not like you're hiding something right… or you are?

Madoka: Okay, okay I'll answer!

I'mherepresent: Good. (Nods proudly)

Madoka: Last day on earth? Well if that's the case… I guess I'll tell what I have to to tell him.

I'mherepresent: About your past?

Madoka: No, that is not even important in that time anymore… it's about my feelings…

I'mherepresent: Oh okay, so a touching confession with the end of the world as the background?

Madoka: DIE! (Lashes out with a handchop)

I'mherepresent: Bffffh!

Madoka: What the hell did I just tell you earlier? Are you amnesiac or something?

I'mherepresent: I remember, it's just fun poking fun at the flat-che– I mean, shy little imouto.

Madoka: What did you say!?

I'mherepresent: Nothing, I said next question.

This one is from Unicorn gundam: "How come you don't actually practice more to unlock you clan Insanity Overload?"

Madoka: That's because I neglected my preparation training because of being sent off the Phantom Task.

There are actually three training stages to achieve it. One is the preparatory training which I did not finished; it consists of the most hellish trainings in the world, all for strengthening the body of an Orimura that aspire the power of [Insanity Overload]. Humans die if they so much try this; this training is only for Orimura, very gifted ones.

Second one is the Awakening stage; where one has to die… don't ask for the specifics because I don't know anything about it.

And third is the Rampage stage… another one that I have no idea about.

Believe it or not, I'm a gifted one… but the weakest one of all. Compared to my nee-sans, I can't properly wield my own [Jaaku Reiki] and often suffer injuries from it. This add with my lack of training made me the weakest.

I'mherepresent: Must be pretty hard on you, you are in the power-oriented Orimura clan after all.

Madoka: You don't know the half of it… well I guess you do… but all I have to say is just it is really, really hard.

I'mherepresent: Indeed, anyway here is another one.

This one is from Jagi9x3: "Madoka i would say do you really love your Oni-chan and are you a bro-con like you sister? XD"

Madoka: Again!? How many times do I have to say it, I am not a bro-con to that idiot!

I'mherepresent: Hmmm… Doesn't seem to add up… from what you said earlier, you really like you nii-chan but now you say that you don't care about him… denial?

Madoka: Why you!

I'mherepresent: Okay, okay sorry anyway please respond to the question.

Madoka: Like I said, I am not a bro-con (screams while blushing furiously)

I'mherepresent: I guess we already got the answer, just not in verbal form… hehehehehe…

Madoka: Guuuuugghhhgmmm! (Fumes in her place while glaring daggers)

I'mherepresent: Okay last question!

This one is from Enigma95: "Why are you the weakest? Rather why were you born the weakest? Always been wondering in my mind"

Madoka: Like I said earlier, it's because I have the least ability to wield and control my [Reiki] and also I missed my training.

Oh yeah, forgot to add this but [Insanity Overload] cannot be achieved unless taught by anyone of the matriarchs, in other words, my mom and my aunts. Only they know how to bring it out.

My nee-sans were thought by them and now they managed to achieve it.

I'mherepresent: Is that so… guess even if you asked they still won't teach you.

Madoka: Yeah… that's a bit… on my part…

Ahhhhh! Anyway this interview is over right!?

I'mherepresent: Yup, you only have four questions from the readers to answer and the main questions have already been answer, so I guess you are free to go.

Madoka: Finally…

(Madoka stands up and storms out of the room while grumbling)

Interview End

End of interview no.1.

Whew!

That was, a little fun… and painful. Well at least Madoka is done now and her interview has been recorded.

So the next to be interviewed is…Natalia Sheperd, the busty nurse of the IS academy.

If anyone wants to ask a question, just PM me and I'll pass them to Natalia herself XD

But for now, I'mherepresent is out!
