I DON'T OWN GENERATOR REX OR INFINITE STRATOS.

-Rex-

After the thing between the Laura and Ichka I had Toransu check the one-eyed Russian out. I couldn't get anything on her other than she came from Germany (DUH), her I.S is called Schwarzer Regen, which Toransu translated to black rain (useless), it has several guns and knives along with an Active Inertia Canceller or AIC projector; which is a fancy term for force field that stops any attack (useful but tells me nothing about why she is out for Ichka). I knew that I had to ask Chifyuu about Laura Bodewig and resolved to do it after class. Chifyuu told us we would be heading to the training area. With the concentration of girls being much larger then guys the guys were given head start. Getting into the changing room I replaced my uniform jacket and undershirt with the pilot suit top. "Could you two turn around?" He asked.

I noticed the redness in Charles' cheeks and did as he asked. Orimura said he didn't understand why and how we wouldn't stare. Only a second before stating how fast Charles had changed. After we all got ready we entered the arena, which I was disappointed to learn was just another battle arena. I nearly let my jaw drop when I saw all the girls in their pilot suits. Okay I can deal with with this stinking suit if this is what the girls dress in.

"First, I'll need two pilots up here now. Lingyin, Alcott up here." Orimura said, now wearing a hoody.

With Toransu's amplified hearing I heard the two younger pilots complaining how they're too good to be up there. I also heard what Chifyuu said next. "Now would be a good time to show off to the boys."

With no further excuses the two pilots eyes widened as they touched their concealed I.S. units. Cecelia pressed her earring similar to how Soatome did in the compound and was left in the same armor I saw in our battle. Lingyin pressed a charm on her bracelet and after being engulfed in the same flash of light that is accustomed to an I.S. deploying I saw her standing several feet taller in an I.S. with black legs, purple arms and oversized purple, black, and gold shoulders that obviously doubled as cannons. On her head sat a purple crown.

"It's my duty to be an example to my underclassmen" Cecelia said to where everyone could hear.

"So let's get this started." Lingyin said looking at the other pilot.

"You two will be fighting with each other, not against each other. You'll be fighting against Maya Yamada."

"What?!" They both yelled. In response to their outburst there was a loud scream of terror. Yamada was going to crash, right into Ichka. I pulled him out of the way. There was a gigantic crater where we were standing.

"Thanks," he said as he was walked closer to the crater to check on the crashed teacher. The ground under him collapsed and he landed on top of the woman. With his hands on the green haired woman's chest. Before anyone could react there was a powerful blast that blew apart the section of ground only a few inches from his head. Huang Lingyin just shot her cannon at the dude's head. Honestly I'm having trouble wether this guy was lucky or cursed. He's in a school filled with almost all girls, many of them looking at him like a rockstar. Lucky. But there are jealous girls that he's completely clueless with weapons, attacking him whenever he accidentally touched another girl. Cursed. I turned direction to see Huang was charging another shot. Before Toransu could come out a shot drew my attention to the green haired woman in the crater; now holding a sniper rifle.

All three pilots took to the sky. Huang Lingyin pulled out a sword with two blades on either side of a hilt. She flew close to Yamada and swung it several times without effect. Meanwhile Cecilia had her wings blasting at the green haired pilot. The only one to get hit by the wings was Lingyin.

"Watch where your aiming." Lingyin yelled. Two more loud bangs rang out and the pair crashed to ground, before their I.S units deactivated.

After the battle everyone with a personal I.S. split up and girls lined up at each pilot to pilot a suit. An hour after the battle we were told to shower and meet in class.

Again Charles didn't want to get dressed in front of either of us. To which Ichka responded to with grabbing both our shoulders and inviting us to take a bath together. I told him that, in America that if a guy tried to get you into the bath with him you weren't only allowed to beat them up; you were expected to. After I said it Charles said was the same in France. We got done and met back in the classroom. Class was about to let out and the two teachers were giving us assignments.

The bell finally rang and I was intent on talking to Chifyuu after everyone left. While the class filed out Cecelia came to my desk trying not me in the eyes and asked, "do you think you could, perhaps train me. After all I tend not to lose many battles." She said. Alone time with her. Just before I could agree Toransu spoke up.

"Rex, you need to protect the other males. Especially now that Mr. Orimura has an enemy in such close to proximity."

"He'll be good enough for a few hours." I thought back.

"You compared Ms. Orimura as a female version of Six, who you told me was called that since he was the sixth deadliest person in your world. Would you want to risk her lethal rating if something should happen to her brother."

I remembered the terrified looks the soldiers at the compound had. "It sucks that you're right." I said to Toransu

"I'd love to. Just get the rest of the group together and we'll meet in two hours. I tend to do better with spectators." I said to Cecilia.

"Sure." She said. I couldn't help but note the hint of disappointment in her voice.

Great, I had to turn down a date with a beautiful girl to protect two dudes. I'm starting to hate this mission, again. After Cecilia left I made my way to the front and slammed my hands on the desk. "Okay Oreo, why would the nutty Russian mention you and why do I sense nanites in her?" I asked, ticked I had to turn alone time with a girl to a group training session; including two guys. Looking over I saw Yamada shrunk to the corner with the look that yelled "we're all gonna die".

Chifyuu just smiled and began laughing in a way that from any other girl would've been attractive; but from her it could've sent the Biowulf into a panic attack. "That was the first time in years someone spoke to me like that." She said returning to her smirk, "Laura was bred and raised to be the ultimate soldier. She was having difficult piloting an I.S and was given a nano machine in her eye in an attempt to improve her piloting skills. It failed and I owed the Russian Government so they brought me in to teach her. With my training she excelled. I came here and as you've seen she blames Ichka for my forfeit in the mondo grosso; the best explanation is Olympics for I.S pilots."

"You think she might have some connection to the unmanned unit?" I asked.

"Hard to tell. Either way you need to keep an eye on the other two males. And use your powers outside of your I.S. only if 100% necessary."

"Yeah yeah yeah, I got it." I said walking to the door in back.

-Cecelia-

I was so depressed that I just asked Rex out and he suggested we bring the group. Are all males this dense or does piloting an I.S. damage their brains. After walking around the corner I realized my bag was still in the classroom and I walked back. Before I could enter I heard a spine chilling laugh straight out of a nightmare that froze me to my spot. The laugh was followed by Ms. Orimura speaking. Ms. Orimura was speaking to Rex as if he didn't know anything about I.S units or anything related to them. Then I heard her say that Rex needed to keep an eye on the two boys. That was why he asked to bring the group. Before my excitement could rise too high Chifyuu Orimura said that he needed to keep his powers under wraps unless there was no further option is left. I heard him nonchalantly say agree and heard him walk closer. Preferring not to be caught eavesdropping I ran away. After I cleared the area I reran the near end of their conversation. "What could she have meant by powers?" I wondered out loud.

-FIN-

Oh no, someone found out about Rex's powers. Is Laura connected to the unmanned I.S. Why does Rex feel suspicious of Charles? Will Chuck Norris finally get vengeance on me for mistyping his name? All these questions and many more will be answered on the next installment of Generator I.S.
