A/N: Hey guys, before we get on with this chapter (or episode as I like to call it), I just want to say thanks to all of you who decided to spend their valuable time reading my first crossover fanfiction and my first fanfiction in general. You all have been so supportive of my work that I never thought that this idea would turn out so well. Anyways, I'm going to be taking a week off away from this story, as I've finally managed to find an English dubbing of season 2 of Infinite Stratos! It could be good or bad, but either way, I'm really excited to see Ichika and the girls back in action, and I'll finally get to know who Tatenashi and Kanzashi are! So, until then, hope you guys enjoy this chapter, thanks again for reading, and 'til next time, my friends. Game on!

[Time Crisis 4 OST: Crisis Missions Theme]
The agents jump up from their hiding spot and shoot the terrorists in front of their sight.
They try and make way to their destination by going from the upper level, but they're stopped there as well, as the threat was also waiting down on the lower level. "Crap, we're like sitting ducks here!" Evan shouts. "Stand back, I'm going to fire a grenade." Keith says as he pulls out a small grenade launcher. He fires, and the enemies get blasted away by the explosion.
"Keith, look, an open door!" They dive in with Keith closing the door and shouting: "Go! Go!" The driver floors it, and the two manage to escape the enemy-riddled airport.
"*pants* Oh man, who the hell were those guys?" Evan asked. "*pants* I think they were hidden operatives from Phantom Task, I might have saw their emblem while we were shooting." Keith said.
"Don't worry, we're with the Japanese government. We're here to help escort you over to the tram station to reach the academy."
"Just wait for the first stop and you should arrive right by the I.S. Academy."
"My name is Chifuyu Orimura, and welcome to the I.S. Academy. Here you will learn the basics of piloting the I.S., as well as learning new skills in combat.
You'll be placed in Class 1, where my little brother Ichika and his friends are in.
Classes don't start until tomorrow, but until then, you two are to refer to me as Orimura-sensei from now on, alright?" The agents saluted saying: "Yes, ma'am."
"Did you wanted to see me, Chifuyu?" Ichika asked.
"I wanted to let you know that there are two new male pilots that'll be in Class One tomorrow. But there's a catch as to why they're here. They're from an anti-crime organization known as the V.S.S.E., and have been brought in here so that their secrets of the company aren't leaked out to the public. I want you to keep an eye on them, so that they don't run into any trouble involving their work. Got it?" Ichika replies attentively with: "Yes ma'am."
"Orimura-sensei, is this true? There's two agents that were sent here to become I.S. pilots?" "They weren't just sent here to become I.S. pilots, Alcott. They came under orders of their captain. You all better not let any of the other students get word of this. Tatenashi might have already known about this, since she's the president of the Student Council, but this has to be kept a secret to all of you only. Alright?" The group responds with: "Yes, ma'am!"

~Dormitories, Room 1023, September 18th, 6:00 A.M.~
[Ridge Racer Revolution OST: Attract Mode]
The alarm clock blares its beeps before Keith sets the alarm off as he and Evan wakes up for their first day in the academy. "*sighs* Well, it's about that time, Evan." The agents prepare themselves and get dressed up in their academy uniforms. "Hmm, I'm feeling a little hungry, how about we head to the cafeteria for some breakfast?" Evan suggests. "Sure, I'm with you. It's a good idea to be energized to make it through the day ahead of us."
~Cafeteria, 6:10 A.M.~
The agents get their breakfast and seat themselves over to an open table. As they were eating, other students began to arrive including Ichika and the girls, but they were too busy talking to each other to notice the two new students right by their side.
~Class One, 6:58 A.M.~
The agents waited outside as Chifuyu had arrived to start the class. "So, you two ready to reveal yourselves?" The agents nodded their heads. "Okay, just give us a minute and we'll call you in." She says as she walks inside to shut the class up. "Alright, all of you, settle down!" The class shuddered, and sat down on their seats as they heard the woman's voice booming into their ears.
"Now, as you all may have heard, there's two new pilots who are going to be in class with us today, so I want you all to be on your best behavior when they walk in, alright?" The class nodded in agreement. "Okay, you two. One of you shall introduce yourself first." "I'll go first, Evan." Keith said. "Alright, good luck, buddy. I'll see you on the inside."
Keith starts to walk inside the classroom, as he sees the class staring him as he stands on the podium. "*clears throat* Ladies and gentleman, my name is Keith Martin, I'm here to ask one simple question, how are all of you today?" The girls all scream as loud because of the fact there happens to be a new guy around the school.
"Well, I can see that all of you were excited to see me." "I think we've heard enough, Keith. How about you take the seat in front of Alcott?" "Certainly." Cecilia blushes as one of the agents that she was asking about yesterday, is taking a seat right in front of her. Keith turns around and gives her an earnest smile, making her blush even more. '*stutters* Is he trying to flirt with me? No, I can't be flattered by this, I was growing feelings for Ichika, but he's just as charming as he is...'
Miss Yamada whispers over by the door: "Okay Evan, it's your turn now." Evan thinks as he walks inside: 'Alright! Time to make a name for myself!' The girls also pay very close attention to Evan as he was just as attractive as Keith. He introduces himself like so: "*clears throat* Hello everybody, my name is Evan Bernard and I am very enthusiastic in meeting every single one you here." The girls screamed twice as loud this time as now they've known that there's two new attractive boys in their class.
"Okay, that's more than enough words from you, Evan." Chifuyu says as she tries to keep her eardrums intact. "Let's say you take the seat behind Dunois, alright?" "Fine by me." Charlotte overhears as Evan casually walks over to his seat, and as he walks over, he catches Charlotte staring at him, and gives a her a confident wink, making her blush as well. 'What is this feeling I'm getting? Am I falling for him?' Charlotte thought to herself as class was beginning to start.

~Cafeteria, Lunch Period, 12:00 P.M.~
[Alpine Racer OST: Snowbound Landscape]
The agents are having lunch with each other on each side as every girl in the Academy walks by to have a little chat with them. As they were conversing with one another, Ichika and his group of ladies had called out to them: "Hey, do you guys not mind if we all sit here with you?" he asks. Evan responds with: "Sure. Come on, take a seat." The agents move over as the group filled up the other spots.
"You're Ichika Orimura, right?" "Yep, that's me, the first I.S. male pilot." "Nice to meet you, I'm Evan Bernard, and this is my friend, Keith Martin. So, uh, are you going to introduce us to your friends?" Evan asks. "Oh, my mistakes! The girl on my right is my childhood friend Houki Shinonono, the one on my left is my other childhood friend, Rin, the representative for China, and Laura, representative of Germany." Ichika explains as Keith and Evan shake hands with the girls.
Keith and Evan notices Cecilia and Charlotte acting a little weird as they were blushing right in front of them "Umm Ichika, is there something wrong with those two?" Keith asks with concern. "Oh, I almost forgot. Keith. Evan. Meet Cecilia Alcott, the representative of England, and Charlotte Dunois, the representative of France." The two firmly shook hands with the other pair as the latter were flattered that they're getting closer to these two as they would have with Ichika.
Cecilia thinks to herself: 'Come on, Alcott, say/do something for him! You already admitted to yourself that your really in to him. Try to engage in a conversation with him or, how about letting him try one of your own sandwiches?' "Keith, would you like to try one of my sandwiches?"
Everyone was in shock of what would happen after she had asked that. "It would be my pleasure." Keith responded as Cecilia felt that her confidence had boosted up, while making the rest of the group terrified more than ever. Evan having no idea why everyone reacted like that asks: "Uh guys, what's wrong? It seems that it doesn't sound good for any of you."
"Tell him, Ichika." Houki said. "*sighs* Okay, last time when she made sandwiches, I took a bite into one of them, but it tasted so awful, and I don't know what kind of ingredients she uses to make those things, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't know how to cook properly. I didn't want to hurt her feelings, so I had no choice but to gulp it down my throat."
Evan replies with: "Christ, that must have sucked for you so much. But come on, guys, it's just a sandwich! He'll be fine, let's just watch and see how it turns out..." So Keith takes one bite out of one of Cecilia's sandwiches, and then: "Do you like it?" Cecilia asked. "It's, it's, it's actually pretty good." The group has their mouths open like: "Whaaa-!" "Heh, told you guys nothing would happen." "You really do enjoy it?" "Yes, I'm being honest here, I am very certain that it was delicious." Keith commended her for her work, as Cecilia felt like she was now in heaven.

[Ridge Racer Revolution OST: Name Entry]
Just then, the bell rang, the agents said they would see the group later, and then they parted ways. "So, how did things go between you and Charlotte?" "Ehh, I didn't really had much to talk with her after some scene you had with Cecilia." Evan said. "They said we needed to show up to the arena later, right?" "Yeah, but we don't have our own I.S., how are we going to fight without one?"
After the bell rang, Chifuyu calls them over for something important: "Hey Keith. Evan. Can you two come over here a second?" The agents walk over to see what was up. "Something you need to tell us, Ms. Orimura?" Keith asked.
"Yes Keith. I wanted to inform you two that when your captain made the choice to send you two over here, Tabane Shinonono, the creator of the I.S., had also heard about your coming, so she made personal I.S. units for both of you as a welcome gift. Come with me to the front entrance, they should be arriving in 5 minutes." Chifuyu explained as the agents followed her back to the entrance.
