Infinte Stratos: Advent of Will

There are some changes I will list:

1) After the Kidnapping: The six months that Chifuyu and Ichika spent before she left for Germany for a year.

2) Ichika's interaction with the Byakushiki.

3) This fan-fiction will incorporate parts of each I.S. Medium (Light Novel, Manga, and Anime) with some changes here and there AS NECESSARY.

4) This fan-fiction will incorporate parts of Green Lantern (Comic and animation) AS NECESSARY, mostly focusing on Ichika's power.

5) This is the Dialogue layout: "Regular Dialogue"- "Ring Dialogue"- "Ion's Dialogue"- (Thought Dialogue)-

6) Most importantly: I DO NOT own Green lantern as it is the property of DC Comics and all it subsidiaries and I DO NOT own Infinite Stratos/ISインフィニット・ストラ as it is the property of Izuru Yumizuru, Media factory, and various other companies.

(Read it like the "A*row" intro.)

My name: is Orimura Ichika and I am the avatar of Will.

Once, I was just the younger brother of an ace I.S. pilot, until a plot against her put me in harms way, but in finding the strength to overcome my fear and protect my family, a powerful force chose me. Now, I am the "Beacon of Light" in the darkness, where those in fear of evil may go to. I AM: THE GREEN LANTERN!

Chapter 4: The Story of a Hero!

"Ichika, we are going to the doctor's to get your head examined!" was all I heard after I explained the full story as to how these thugs wound up unconscious before she found me. "And when I get my hands on those thugs…" She mumbled off while giving an evil look that would make other countries raise a white flag. She was heading out the room, but I had to stop her.

"Wait!" She turned to listen to what I had to say.

I swallowed hard as I felt that telling her would not work so I'll show her. "Ring, Finger" Showing her my finger as I place the little green piece of jewelry. The effect that I hoped for…

"…"

"…."

"….."

"…."

(Nothing happened!?)

"Eh?" Was all I could manage.

"Well? Anything else?" Said my sister who wasn't sure what was going on.

I was starting to think I had really gone nuts and everything that happened was a dream, but then, things got very real.

"Error!" The Ring said as blue sparks came out. "Ring system corrupted. Data conflict detected. Beginning repair… Repair complete. System restart. Running diagnostic. Defragmentation process activated: 10%, 20%, 50%, 70%, 90%, 100%. Defragmentation process complete. Restarting ring core memory. Accessing new directives. Recording Bio-Data of new user… Bio-Data recording complete"

"Ichika Orimura, Welcome to the Lantern corp."

Suddenly, a turquoise colored portal swirled into existence. Quickly, my sister ran in front of me, taking a defensive posture. The portal started to move over to the table in the center of the room and turned horizontal and laid flat on the table then stared to rise. As it was rising up, an object was coming out of the bottom of it. The more of it materialized, the more it looked familiar until it was fully formed. Then the portal started to shrink, getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared from sight completely. We looked at what was left. A metal container, which looked like an old fashioned lantern you'd see in old history books, made of dark green metal with slightly wide black lines angling towards the center and the Green Lantern insignia on the top.

After the initial shock of that "Light show" nether of us said anything, but Chifuyu-nee broke the silence.

"Ichika, what is that ring and that lantern!?" She was starting to get loud. Not a good thing. "Are you telling me that all that was real!?"

After I explained to her about my dream based encounter with Ganthet and Ion and what the GL corp. was, she looked at me with a blank stare. "Umm…" I started to say but she cut me off.

"And you just agreed to be some space cop without asking me!?" She was not very happy. "Do you know how much I worried about you!? What I had gone through when I heard you had been kidnapped!?"

"I.." I started.

"SHUT UP!" She was just getting madder and madder until… She cried.

"How could this have happened?" She said as she sat down on the couch, tears falling from her eyes. "It not right… You just got saved not by me but by some green trinket!" She looked at my ring. "Take it off! Take it off right now!"

"I can't…" I looked away. "There are many reasons why I can't, but the main one is to show you that I was going to be okay."

"HUH!?" She looked at me with an angry and confused stare.

"This ring chose me to become more then I ever dreamed of because it saw something in me I didn't even know I had. " I said. It was rough but had to prove my point. "When I got kidnapped, that proved two things: one, I can't be safe one hundred percent of the time and two, I was weak enough to get kidnapped in the first place.

She winced a bit at hearing that. "Still, I don't want you leaving me like this."

"I wouldn't leave you here; I would've taken you and my friends with me!" I yelled." I know it's childish to think that way but that's how I feel."

She looked at me first with an angry face then a sad one and then looked completely lost.

Besides, I'm not going anywhere anyway." I admitted.

"…"

"…"

"…not that I'm complaining, but…Why?" she looked at me, not sure what I meant. "Don't Green Lanterns go flying through space away from their homes into another galaxy or something to that extent?"

"Not sure. They want me to stay and protect just this world. No leaving earth for me, so there."

She looked down on the floor with her hands locked keeping silent for a few minutes before finally coming to a decision.

"I think you shouldn't do this." She was not moving on the subject.

"Chifuyu-nee, I-!" I started but the ring began flashing.

"Attention! Ring power level at 5%. Recharge necessary."

"…How?" I asked.

"Place the ring into the center of the lantern and concentrate on the act of recharging."

"Ok, then." I headed to the lantern and looked at it. It was definitely strange; the more I looked at it, the more I felt as if it was meant to be. "Ichika, don't do it!" Chifuyu-nee warned, but I didn't really hear her. I walked up to the green and lined lantern and placed the ring on the glass-like center. And…

(I don't what recharging feels like.) "I'm not sure how to do that." I said sheepishly to the ring, not realizing that I should have asked about that first. "Got any ideas?"

"Most lanterns utilize speaking an Oath to provide assistance in managing the proper mindset for the recharging process."

"Umm… what's the oath?" I asked.

"Initiating search... Error! Oath record bank empty. Please relay new Oath."

"Great…" I thought. But, thinking about it, some of the things Ganthet, Ion, and Chifuyu-nee said came to mind. Almost immediately I came up with the words that should satisfy me. I took a deep breath and said:

[In the light, born of strong will.]

[In my family, my hope stronger still]

[To the evil that seeks to harm others for a thrill,]

[The Green Lantern's justice, I shall instill!]

The effect was Immediate. As I was saying my, made-on-the-spot, oath, greenish energy was flowing into the ring. Then I glowed and my clothes stated to change into a skin tight green and black outfit with white gloves and boots.

"Recharge complete. Commencing with directive two. Searching for evil to be brought to justice."

"What do you mea-! WAAA!" I couldn't finish as the ring pulled me out of room and through the front door, busting it down, and out of the house. My sister was yelling my name as I flew out of sight.

Somewhere in an undisclosed country. An I.S. factory was taken over by an armed group. The building was by the sea with docks, but no ships due to what was going on. The SP's where under fire by some group of well coordinated criminals, when the apparent leader on the roof spoke on a megaphone. "You hear me now?! If you don't give into our demands, we WILL blow this factory and all the people inside sky high!" The helmet wearing woman said with a small metal grey switch in her hand. She turned to her fellow criminals. "You two, get the explosives. We're blowing this place up after we get the supplies we need from these chumps. It'll give us time to get out of here while they deal with aftermath."

"Yes, ma'am!" Said the two masked, well armed men as they headed inside.

She then looked at the SPs, who had their hands tied by the situation, gave a sneer and headed inside as well.

Meanwhile, while flying through the air in the greatest of difficulty, I was handling the situation as anyone would.

"AAAAAAHHH!" I screamed as the ring pulled me to who-knows-where, demanding it to take me back.

"I cannot. A criminal element is placing the innocent in danger." It stated.

My eyes sharpened when I heard this. "Where?" I wanted to go home, but knowing that people somewhere were in danger and that I had the power to help, I had no choice but to go hero.

"We are enroute to the location to provide assistance in apprehending the accused."

"OK then, how should I go about that? Shake my finger at them and tell them not to do bad things anymore?"

"You may use this ring to create the necessary tools to help you."

"Then tell me how to do it!" I demanded. The ring started to explain the basics on how to create light constructs to use. Mostly, I needed a basic understanding of the thing being created to give the object form and substance, but just thinking of an object isn't enough, I have to will an object into being, and the more complex the construct, the more concentration I have to put into it. But the ring also warned me of having moments where my will might not be at its best. If my will weakens in some way, it shows on my constructs making them break easily.

By the time the ring finished we were floating above the area. I was about to go diving in when I realized if I go flying in someone might see who I am. I didn't want a repeat of what happened to me to happen to anyone I care about.

"Hey, ring? Is there a way for me to hide my identity?" Almost as fast as I asked, a green mask appeared on my face hiding my eyes, nose, and cheeks. I decided to try my hand in creating a mirror, so with a little focus, a simple hand mirror appeared, I looked at the refection and saw my mask then I saw something that made me jump. My hair was green! Well, blackish green and it was combed back with a few strands in front. I sighed as this definitely made sure no one would recognize me. I decided to complain to the ring later as people needed me.

"OK! Time to get heroic!" I moved down quickly behind the building as to try not to get seen. (Thank god it's daytime. I would have stuck out like fireworks at a funeral)

Moving to the back door the ring spoke up.

"Warning! Explosive device attached to the entrance."

I backed up some and asked what kind of bomb it was. The ring took a moment and then gave me some info on the type of bomb: CR23 Type-2 disconnect bomb, a trap bomb made for urban warfare in some countries. I looked around and found the wire and followed it with my eyes to a small grey box right next to the door. If I had opened the door, I along with a good portion of the docks would be dust.

"First open the lid." The ring instructed.

Carefully opening the lid I saw wires. Lots of wires. Red ones to purple ones and even… a polka dot one?

"Grasp the red metal collar with both hands, pull it straight up. As it is magnetized, do not touch the sides, or it will detonate."

"Okay then." I timed myself and pulled the collar up and made sure not to touch anything else. "Done."

"Disconnect the following wires in the correct order: Blue, Yellow-and-Black Striped, Red, and then Black."

Looking carefully I found them and created some simple wire cutters and cut the blue, yellow-and-black striped and red wires, but I couldn't find the black one. "The black ones not there. Is there a chance that this bomb is a different type?"

"No. But there is an alteration to this bomb. One of the wires is not present in the original design."

"The polka dot one?" I figured as I've never heard of that type of wire before.

"Correct." It answered.

Creating a green riot shield as I wasn't sure what would happen, I cut the polka dot wire and… Nothing. The ring stated I successfully disarmed the explosive. I dispelled the wire-cutters but kept the shield as I was going into a hot zone.

I headed in to building sneaking down the hallway; I wasn't going to get killed by going in gung-ho. I made my way down the stairs, when I saw two masked thugs armed with some pretty nasty looking rifles with body armor. I was about to go around when I saw some people tied up next to them. Factory workers, some people with children and couple of tour-guide ladies. Made sense. I.S. factories are usually well guarded against threats like this so it stands to reason that they must have attacked when the tour was going on.

(I've got to be careful here){CLINK!} (Aw Damn!)

"Who There!?" One of the thugs said as he aimed his rifle at me. (Looks like I've got no choice in this!)

"A flying fist!" I yelled as I created a large green fist and flat knocked him sideways. The other guy started shooting at me. I used the riot shield in defense, hoping not to get hit. As the shots were being deflected, I created a crude energy person to stand next to him.

"What the-!" Was all he could say when I made another energy fist and punched out his lights too! I then set about untying the prisoners when one of them spoke to me. "Who are you?" The lady said as she was being untied. Thinking about the name of the group I was now a part of I said:

"I am… The Green Lantern." Then after checking if everyone was fine. I had everyone follow me to the back entrance I came in from. We were at the door when suddenly my ring flashed and I turned around as if it was instinct and created a large shield behind the group, when shots started bouncing off it. When more thugs showed up, I looked at the group and then made a head motion for the exit. The tour ladies quickly caught on a herded everyone out of the building. With them gone, I pushed the shield into the armed group and bounced them into the wall, knocking out a number of them, as for the others, I moved over to them, created a green boken, and proceeded to beat them down with my kendo skills. With the thugs' unconscious, I decided to fly though the hallways disarming bombs, searching for hostages and beam blasting any hostiles that wanted to "Step into the ring" while thankful that the ring has a "No-Kill" setting.

After taking out most, if not all of them, I heard a load noise and it was coming from… Below?

{BOOOM}

Instantly, a grey humanoid machine with yellow and black tape on its arms and legs came bursting out from the ground.

In the center the pilot was a woman in a purple combat swimsuit with a grey helmet that had a mask on.

"Dammit! My mercenaries' get taken out, the hostages are gone, and the SPs won't give me an inch to get out of. All of this happened because of a kid with a green leather fetish!?" Said the I.S. using mastermind.

"This coming from an armed swimsuit model." I joked. "So what are you going to do? Work the catwalk?"

"You are DEAD!" She materialized a gun and started shooting.

I hit the dirt and started to fly towards the roof busting thought the ceiling in the process. She gave chase, not missing a chance taking shots at me. In no time we were outside flying in the sky, even the SPs saw the battle going on. As I was dodging the gunfire and shooting beams of my own, she had to ask.

"How are you flying and doing all this!? It doesn't make sense!" She asked/yelled between shots. "Who the hell are you!?"

I decided to say who I was and made sure everyone heard.

"Who am I? I tell you then:

I am the Avatar of Will.

An officer from space, gifted with a power that spans the cosmos!

I am the "Beacon of Light" in the darkness, where those in fear of evil may go to!

I AM: THE GREEN LANTERN!"

I then created a large version of the lantern symbol behind me to send the message.

Everyone was shocked by my words as they heard "Officer from space."

"You're an alien!?" She sputtered out. I decided to keep the mystery and go with it.

"I let you come to your own conclusions!" I then created a shield and a Martian blaster with some effort (Man, this is tiring!) and fired away, hitting her in the arm with the gun.

"Agh!" She yelped as she dropped her weapon. She then moved her other arm up and it opened to reveal micro missiles. She fired at me hitting my shield as I was stuck in place from the surrounding missile barrage.

"Ha! Serves you right, space man!" She started to laugh. "Now to get back at those idiots at the academy and show them I can handle anything they can throw at me."

But her victory was short lived as a large green Clamp and four smaller ones, fired out and caught her hands, legs, and hip, making sure to cover the missile dispenser.

"NO! LET ME GO!" She screamed as she struggled from her captor's power.

"Sorry, but you're too dangerous to let free." I then whispered to the ring. "Ring, is it possible to drain her I.S.'s power."

"Affirmative." It answered.

"Then go for it."

Her I.S. was sending electricity through the cable and into the ring. The I.S. then disappeared and only a shoulder guard was left, this I.S.'s dormant state when it has sustained too much damage or if it completely lost all of its energy. I then took her with me and floated down to the SPs and handed her to them while keeping a good distance from them. The ring them warned me that three energy signatures where closing in fast. My guess was these I.S. were sent to deal with this one here. Deciding to not wear out my welcome, I said for them to take care and that the rest of the group was knocked out in the factory. I then flew into the sky and out of earshot.

"Ring take me home!" I ordered. As I left I noticed a news crew where pointing at me with cameras. I'm not sure if this was a good thing.

I landed not too far from the house, making sure no one saw me. It helped that the ring checked if anyone was around.

I walked in and my big sister ran up to me, hugged me, then she took a step beck and beaned me on noggin!

"OW!"

"You idiot! Why would you do that!?" She said with a worry mix of worry and anger on her face. (Guess she saw the news.)

"I didn't have a choice. At first I wanted to come back but the ring told me about that hostage situation." I said trying to explain my case. "How can I turn my back on them when I have the power to help?"

"Are you serious!? Didn't the person who sent this ring of yours tell you to WAIT UNTIL THE SHIP ARRIVES!?" She said as she had a point.

"I'm sorry, ok? It's just; I can't let anyone in front of me get harmed. Not when I can do something about it."

We stayed quiet for a few minutes and Chifuyu-nee broke the silence.

"Sigh"… "Look, I think you should hold off playing hero until that ship comes." She decided. "And until it does I'm going to supervise your training.

"Does this mean…" I said hoping to get the OK from her.

"Yes. I don't like it but with that kind of power, a certain level of responsibility and training is necessary."

"Yes!"

"I hope you're happy because at five in the morning we have training to do." She said giving an evil smile.

(I think I messed up.)

Next Chapter: Meeting of the Powerful!

With the world now aware of the Green Lantern, and his sister finally giving her blessing, albeit a reluctant one. Chifuyu will get to meet Ganthet with some choice words for him.

Okay, little by little it's getting some steam going, but I hope you enjoy this chapter.
