This is telepathy
"Wait. Just wait a minute!" Nina Antalk demanded. The blond haired female captain of the 17th platoon was doing her best to maintain her cool, but her current situation was like a slap in the face. "If you quit, what will happen to the 17th platoon!?"
"Having it disband would make the decision easier for you as leader, right?" Havoc said snidely. The pigheaded blue haired military student was enjoying the position he was placing his former leader in. "Using your talents in another unit would be in Zuellni's best interests."
"At least give me till the end of the competition. Just watch, I'll change how you feel by then." Nina begged grasping at straws.
"You're kidding, with this team? The platoon's a joke." Havoc scoffed. The rest of the team didn't even object. Harley Sutton, the team's dite mechanic just looked towards the ground. Sharnid never even stopped polishing his riffle.
Nina glared at Havoc as her blood pressure started to rise. She pulled out one of her dites. "Restoration." She almost hissed as the small black box glowed before extending into a solid black nightstick with a rounded guard.
"Once I've turned in my badge, this won't be some training exercise." Havoc said pulling the 17th platoon's pin off of his jacket before throwing it at Nina's feet. "And I'm unarmed, so if something happens to me, the platoon will be immediately dissolved!" He mocked her.
"Why you..." Nina growled raising her arm to strike him anyways but Harley grabbed her arm to stop her.
"Wait! Calm down, Nina!" He shouted trying to bring the team captain to her senses. "This isn't like you."
"Let me go! I can't just let our platoon be disbanded, not now! Let me go!" Nina shouted but by the time she had thrown Harley off, Havoc had already left. Nina turned and kicked Havoc's old locker hard enough to leave a impression of her foot in it. "That asshole!"
"Calm down! All we have to do is replace him, right?" Harley said as Nina slowly took our her frustration on the sheet of metal. "Today's the entrance ceremony, so there'll be someone who can take his place."
As if someone flicked a switch the look of rage fell off of Nina's face and she grinned wide at her childhood friend. "Yeah, what are we wait for!" She shouted and was out the door in a yellow flash.
"New students, please assemble at the main auditorium." A voice said over the intercom as Danny looked around at the crowd of students.
"I'm lost." He admitted to Sam. "Where do you think it is?"
"How am I supposed to know? I've been with you the whole time." Sam replied.
"Geez, stupid roaming bus getting held up by those weak little larvals. Now I don't have a school uniform and I am completely lost." Danny grumbled as he looked around.
"You could always just ask for directions." Sam suggested.
"Oh... but that is so unmasculine." Danny complained.
"Just deal with it." Sam said inside of his mind.
Danny sighed and looked around. Spotting a boy with green hair tied in a pigtail who was wearing a mechanic's outfit and a blue hat that was on backwards. He was looking around and didn't seem to be going anywhere, but he didn't exactly look lost either.
"Um, excuse me." Danny said approaching him. "Can you tell me where the auditorium is? My roaming bus didn't come it till today, so I'm kind of lost." Danny explained rubbing the back of his neck.
"Oh, sure. It's that building over there. With the flag in front of it. you can just follow the crowd if you need any further directions." The boy said with a helpful grin.
"Thanks." Danny said nodding a little embarrassed that he had thought of just following the crowd.
"Hey Harley!" A blond girl shouted running up to the green haired boy. "Well have you find anyone?" She asked.
The boy shook his head. "No good. Most of the new ones have already been taken. But a lot of them are in the auditorium. So we can come back after the entrance ceremony is over." Harley said.
The girl sighed but then noticed Danny. "What about you? Are you a military arts student?" She asked raising an eyebrow at him.
Danny didn't respond. He just stared rather puzzled at the blond girl who was standing before him. She had short hair with small feather like hair clips on either side of her head. Her blue eyes were staring right at him but Danny couldn't help but feel that there was something else there. Something he was over looking. It as if she was glowing. Not with a heavy power, but more like a scent, weightless but no less noticeable.
"Hello, are you just going to stare at me all day or are you going to tell me if your in military arts or not!?" She demanded.
"N... no, I'm in general education. Engineer." Danny said quickly after realizing that he had been staring.
"Gurr. We don't need another dite mechanic. Come on Harley we got to move." She said grabbing the boy and moving off quickly.
"Sam... that girl." Danny said as he started walking towards where he had been told the auditorium was.
"Yeah, I know, I felt it too." Sam agreed. "It felt familiar, but I just can't place it."
"I wonder who she..." Danny started but stopped when a flash from a camera startled him out of his daze conversation with the spirit he was hosting.
"Hi, I'm with 'Weekly Look'N' magazine. Would you mind if I take your picture? Oops, guess I already did." A girl with light brown hair in two ponytails said holding up a camera. Danny was too stunned to respond as the girl grabbed his hand and started shaking it. "Nice to meet you. You don't have a uniform, are you a new student? What's your name?" She asked.
"Danny... Fenton." Danny said confused as to her sudden appearance. It was true, he had never bothered to change his name when he had made his fake IDs, only where he had lived. "Um, what's 'Weekly Look'N'?" Danny asked, less because he cared and more because it felt like the right thing to say for a conversation. He had never been one to socialize much, so the rules of such things were lost on him. Sam had pretty much raised him from an early age, and he had avoided most human contact when able.
"It's an informational magazine, the number one seller in bookstores around Zuellni Academic City." The girl informed him as she took more pictures. "I'm working on a 'Who's the Number One Most Handsome Uniformed Student?' feature now."
"But I'm not in a uniform, and are all those pictures necessary?" Danny asked a little put off.
"Hey, fake reporter!" Another girl called out causing the photo girl to jump.
"Hey, don't call me fake!" The camera girl shouted back at a tall dark skinned girl with shoulder length purple hair.
"Working on your story, looking all smug..." The purple hair girl said grinning playfully.
"Yes, true enough, I'm a new student too. And to be honest, I haven't sold the article yet, so calling myself a reporter isn't quite true..." The brown haired girl said as she started to come clean. "But just you wait! When they see my story it will be so great that it will knock their socks off!" She shouted hitting her chest with pride. But he did it too hard and ended up coughing and ruining the effect.
"Sorry if she's spoiled the mood." The purple haired girl said patting the camera girl on the head as if she was petting a rabbit. "When it comes to spirit, she has twice as much as anyone else. Please forgive this."
"And I thought I was the only one here carrying around a few extra spirits." Danny thought to Sam.
"Bad joke." Sam thought back. "I don't think she has spirits and think she has sugar instead of blood."
"While we're here, allow me to introduce us!" The camera girl said loudly as a third girl came and joined them. This one had long dark brown hair that when down to the bottom of her back and seemed a lot more quiet than the first two. "I'm Mifi Rotten! An expiring Journalist." She then wrapped an arm around the purple haired girl and pulled her in. "This is my childhood friend Naruki Gelni, she's trying to become a police officer." And finally she pulled in the long blown haired girl. "And this is Mayshen Trinden. She want to be a baker."
"So that's where all the sweets came from." Sam commented.
"It's nice to meet you." Mayshen said bobbing her head a little.
"We're from Yortem Transit City. Where you from, Danny?" Naruki asked.
Danny inwardly cursed. Yortem was what he had put on his fake ID since it would be hard to prove that he wasn't from there, considering it was the trade center of the world. But maybe that would go unnoticed. "I'm also from Yortem." Danny said rubbing the back of his neck.
"Really? I never seen you before." Mifi said tilting her head. "And I always stay super in the loop."
"I've been doing a lot of traveling over the last two years." Danny said quickly avoiding eye contact. Mifi was starting to glare at him when a wind swept up through the crowd.
"A fight?" "What, some new students?" "Somebody stop them." "C'mon, do it!" People were saying as they all made room for two military arts students who were pushing out kei.
"Kei energy?" Naruki said as she watched.
"Ooh, a scoop!" Mifi said running forward with her camera.
"Mifi, that's dangerous!" Mayshen shouted. Danny decided to take this time to walk away.
The two military arts students were going at it. Blue kei matrices appearing where ever there fists clashed. One of them was a large man with short dark hair, while the other was a skinnier boy with spiked up orange hair.
The larger boy rushed the smaller one who momentarily was struggling to defend himself before he swept the legs out from under the large boy, sending him to the ground.
"Who would've thought I'd stumble across a scene like this?!" Miki said excited.
"This has to stop. They should be fighting in a training hall, not out here." Naruki said looking concerned. "Mayshen, go get a senor military office. I'll try to break things up." The purple haired girl instructed her friend who went to do as she was told.
"Restoration!" The bigger guy said as he pulled out a dite. It glowed bright blue and turned into a whip. People were starting to panic as they began to realize how real this was.
It was illegal for first year students to own there own dites for the first half year, unless they are granted special access.
The whip came around and the skinny man dodge, causing the whip to hit the side of the building and smash through the wall.
"Restoration!" The skinny man said, bringing out his own spear like dite.
"Stop this both of you! These actions could lead to your arrest!" Naruki shouted at the too from the front of the gathered crowd. But they ignored her.
The two continued to fight, until a poorly aimed whip attack caused the heavy weighted tip of the whip to start flying towards Naruki. There was a scream that flew through the crowd.
Three pink peddles fluttered in front of Danny and he could here a unfamiliar voice inside his head. "Someone, help her." It said.
Danny turned his head and saw the whip flying towards Naruki as if in slow motion. Kei built up in side of him and he shot across the coward like a green bullet and stopped just next to Naruki, catching the whip in his bare hand, just inches from her skull.
Naruki blinked at him in surprise. She had fully expected to die right there. "Charging External Fluid Kei." Danny said calmly and his vivid green kei flowed through the whip and back towards the man holding it who shocked violently as if shocked before falling to the ground. Danny then lifted one hand towards the second fighter. "External Ballistic Kei." A shot of green energy came out of his palm and hit the guy in the chest, knocking him down for the count.
"Oh wow." Naruki said wide eyed. A random civilian had came out of nowhere and taken down two military artists. And he made it look so easy.
"You alright?" Danny said looking over her real quick to make sure she was uninjured.
"Ye... yeah. Thanks for the save." Naruki said blushing as Danny's eyes went from green back to blue.
"Wow, Nina did you see that?" Harley asked his platoon captain. But he got no answer. "Nina?"
She was just staring at the boy. "Some mechanic." She mutter and a grin passed over her face. "He'll be our new member." She said with finally. Harley momentarily considered pointing out that he was still not a military arts student. But he new that once Nina had her mind on something, it was impossible to change it.
He almost felt sorry for the kid. He didn't know what was coming.
This feels like a natural cut off point. Plus what I want to write next is a natural introduction. Therefor it works out. So I will call it a chapter, regardless of length or how much plot has gone by.
In the manga, Nina is the princess of the city that is the birth place of all electronic spirits. So Danny would feel something coming from her, since he is part electronic spirit.
Sam and Danny are not merged together. Danny is merged with a spirit called Wolfstein, after the middle name of this series's usual main character.
I am going to have Danny's specialty be scythes (I know it is over used) but in normal fights he won't use one, he'll use a spear.
I had Danny rescue Naruki instead of Mayshen, because I would prefer the police girl to be a possible love interest, rather than the baker.
To anyone that hasn't watched 'Chrome Shelled Regios', Funimation has it up on their Youtube account. Though I think they only give you the first four episodes in English. I would suggest watching it. It's pretty good as long as you don't think to much about what could have been. Then again, if you are a writer you probably think a lot about what could have been.
