Three Lights:
Houki, Rin, Cecilia, Laura, Jeff, Tatenashi, Kanzashi and I were in a debriefing room with Chifuyu, Miss Yamada, and Houki's older sister and various staff.
Chifuyu: In my interrogation with Madoka she revealed that Squall would be leading an attack on the academy with the thirty three Anti IS units that survived the bombing from night raid involving Kenny and Sarshiki.
Kanzashi: Last time we barely defeated five of those Anti IS units
Chifuyu: I know I have asked the board of directors to offer us reinforcement's. In addition Tobane can make some modifications to the captured Black Knight IS unit?
Tobane: Sure can do Chi-chan.
Laura: Modifications?
Miss Yamada then pulled up some images
Chifuyu: Our scanners indicate that they will be reaching the academy in four hours. The instructors will be intercepting them along with Kenny and Sarashiki who will be fighting the front line. The rest of you are defending the academy.
Ichika: Why Jeff and Tatenashi?
Yamada: Their personal IS units are the most powerful and will help thin out the numbers before the main group reaches the academy, and make it easier for the rest of you. All of the students have already been relocated to the underground levels of the academy.
Chifuyu: Now everyone get in position.
Chifuyu: Com check on all units. Are you in position? (Over the video feed)
Cecilia: Rin and I are in position covering the west side. (Over the video feed)
Laura: Charl and I are in position on the east side. (Over the video feed)
Houki: Ichika and I are on the North side. (Over the video feed)
Kanzashi: I got the south side covered. (Over the video feed)
Chifuyu: Good…Kenny and Sharashiki the first wave should be coming shortly. Miss Yamada's scanned has revealed 33 Anti IS units coming your way (Over the video feed)
Tatenashi: We have a visual, but no sign of Squall. (Over the video feed)
Chifuyu: Roger that there is more to this attack than meets the eye. Kenny get ready to unleash the full power of Fairy Light V2, don't hold back. Show Phantom Task the full force of the IS academy! (Over the video feed)
Jeff: Alright preparing to charge now up the energy cyclone. (Over the video feed)
There was a massive blue energy beam that fired and series of multiple explosions. Following that were some blue energy waves and rapid fire homing lasers. Then more explosions.
Houki: No way that is the attack Gospel's second form used against us.
Ichika: So that means that Fairy Light V2 now has all of the powers of the secondary form of the Gospel all of us fought?
Houki: It would appear so; glad to know Jeff and Fairy light V2 are on our side. So about Jeff saying he thinks that I should be your partner for the tournament. Are you going to listen to his advice?
Chifuyu: Orimura! Shonono! Come in over! (Over the video feed)
Houki: What is it Miss Orimura? (Over the video feed)
Yamada: There appears to be fifty more Anti IS units coming from all angles around the academy. Get ready to intercept them. I am notifying the others. (Over the video feed)
Kanzashi: There appears to be some kind of new Anti IS unit that appears to have rapid fire mortar launchers on their back. (Over the video feed)
Tatenashi: Use the improved rapid fire missiles Miss Shonono improved upon to counter the enemy's missiles and stop them from hitting the academy. I will be there to cover you, when I am finished with this wave of enemies (Over the video feed)
Kanzashi: Got it big sister. (Over the video feed)
Cecilia: Give me cover fire Rin!
Rin: Right!
Cecilia: What are these unmanned units their shielding is stronger than last time.
Rin: Tell me about it! (Clashing with an unmanned IS unit)
Charlotte: Laura their shielding seems to be weaker from the back.
Laura: Got it targeting now.
An energy beam is fired that shots through one of the Anti IS units.
Charlotte: Good let's keep using this strategy.
Yamada: It seems that the thirty three anti IS's in the first wave have been destroyed by Jeff, Tatenashi and the other instructors. They heading back to the academy.
Chifuyu: Good! Tobane how are the modifications to the Black Knight IS coming along.
Toben: All done, I just need you for the custom fitting of the unit. (Over the video feed)
Chifuyu: Excellent! Miss Yamada monitor and direct the others as needed.
Ichika: There is no end to them!
There were several shots fired at Houki and myself.
Squall: Hello long time no see!
Houki: Good reason for that Squall!
She then fired a few energy beams from her sword, but Squall dodged all of them. Then she flew off.
Ichika: You are not getting away!
Houki: Wait! Ichika! (Cornered by several more unmanned IS units)
I was pursuing Squall knocking back unmanned IS units
Yamada: Ichika! Watch your shield energy you have only 60 shield energy left!
I then felt weird then Byakushiki started pulsing and I fainted.
Jeff: Why do I feel weird?
Tatenashi: You used a lot of shield energy using those powerful energy attacks. You only have 130 shield energy left.
Jeff: Right…let's try the energy absorption barrier. Recharge commencing!
Houki: What is this feeling in my heart? Why is Akatsubaki glowing white? What on earth is that white light!
I was laying on a sea of clouds that looked like water with a few trees, there was that IS unit again and it turned Black and grabbed me by my neck and said "You must die Ichika Orimura!" Then six pillars of light appeared around us and I fell back on the ground, a column of light engulfed the IS unit. After the light faded The IS unit turned white again and said "You must live Ichika Orimura!" I then saw Jeff next to the IS unit except he was dressed in all white.
Ichika: Jeff what is going on here? What is this place?
Jeff then walked away from me and I ran after him.
Cecilia: What on earth is that white sphere of light?
Rin: I don't know! But Miss Yamada lost contact with Ichika, Houki, and Jeff!
I finally managed to catch up with Jeff.
Ichika: Why did you walk away?
He looked behind me
Houki was standing behind me in a white dress holding a little girls hand dressed in white with white hair and a sun hat.
Ichika: I have seen you. Who are you?
She then grabbed my hands and interlocked them with Houki's hands. Houki then started in lean in against me, and I closed my eyes. Then there was bright flash of white light and I heard her say "Two lights now joined with the aid of the third"
Yamada: Do you copy? Come in! (Over the channel)
Ichika: Yes…but I feel different.
Cecilia: Different how?
Ichika: Well for starters…
Then three of the unmanned IS units came at me and sent out a wave of light that went straight through them and destroyed them in one hit.
Ichika: (Byakushiki feels different these attacks and my shield energy is now maxed at 800)
I then heard a voice say "Enlightenment"
Ichika: (Byakushiki Enlightened) Where is everyone else? (Over the video channel)
Yamada: Try to regroup with Shonono then help out the others. (Over the video channel)
Ichika: Right!
Yamada: Miss Orimura…something has happened to Byakushiki the shield energy has jumped from 400 to 800 and the attacks that the Akatsubaki has are now registering to Byakusiki. Even the attacks that Byakushiki has have been gained by Akatsubaki. (Over the video feed)
Chifuyu: Interesting everyone else and I have nearly finished off the unmanned IS units. (Over the video feed)
I rejoined with the others
Charlotte: Something seems different about you Ichika.
Laura: A tertiary form…perhaps?
Ichika: I guess you could say that…Chifuyu is that you?
Chifuyu: That is right Ichika I had Tabane adjust the Black Knight IS so I could use it, it is now called the White Knight. I will handle the remaining unmanned IS units. It is up to the rest of you to defeat and capture Squall.
She then flew off and so did the rest of us.
Ichika: How are the rest of you holding up?
Rin: Most have lost some shield energy, but we are still stable.
Houki: All of us have to be at full strength to take on Squall.
Jeff: In that case…I think understand the function of the energy absorption shield. (Raising his weapon) Heal!
A golden light engulfed all of us.
Cecilia: Amazing! All of our shield energy has been fully charged.
Tatenashi: Yes now let's show Squall what we are made of!
There was some rapid fire coming from behind us and around all angles.
Squall: All of you ruined my plans!
Ichika: We defeated your army and you are next!
Squall: Just try to!
A fight ensued
Cecilia: Charl get ready to cover me!
Charlotte: Roger that Cecilia!
Houki: Ichika get ready right!
Ichika: Right Houki!
Rin: We have to corner Squall Kanzashi!
Kanzashi: Right!
Jeff: Ichika! You and Houki most land the critical blow your IS units both now have the same attacks and shield energy levels. We need two one shot kill attacks.
Ichika: Alright did everyone else get that! (Over the video feed)
Kanzashi/Tatenashi/Rin/Laura/Cecilia/Charlotte: Right!
Ichika: Okay Houki get right, Jeff prepare to charge and fly in front of me and Houki.
Everyone kept Squall distracted and Jeff flied in front of using the energy absorption shield. He rammed into her IS at full speed knocking out her shield briefly. Houki and I then charged up our two one shot kill attacks and her IS unit began to break and fall apart. She then fell, and then Chifuyu caught her in midair and grabbed her powered down Archne IS.
Chifuyu: Good job everyone! Now let's hand her and Madoka to the proper authorities.
In a briefing room…
Chifuyu: Well down everyone thanks to aid of all of you, and the board of directors help Phantom Task has been shut down for good.
We all were very happy and pleased.
Ichika: What about Madoka though?
Chifuyu: She will be helping the IS Task Force recover the stolen personal IS units and give them back to their rightful owners with the information she knows about Phantom Tasks operations. As part of the deal to reduce her sentence down to thirty years, as for Squall she will be given a life sentence by the IS military Tribunal.
Kanzashi: That is good news, but why does the Byakushiki and the Akatsubaki have the same shield energy and abilities?
Yamada: Not sure…only Professor Tabane would know that last I checked she already left.
The video screen turned on…
Tabone: Hi Chi-chan! Did you miss me? (On the video screen)
Chifuyu: Not especially…
Yamada: Actually we do have a question…
Tabone: Yes…I know I heard… Akatsubaki and Byakushiki along with Ichkon and little Houki now have a special connection. (Putting her fingers together in the shape of a heart) I like to think Fairy Light V2 is an older brother for Akatsubaki. To-da lo! (Waving)
The video screen turned off…
The rest of us looked confused
Yamada: That did not make any sense…
Chifuyu: Half of the things Tobane says does not make sense period Miss Yamada. Anyways this terms break will be coming for the school, so myself and the board of directors have a special surprise for the nine of you at the end of this week. Until then all of you deserve a few days of rest and relaxation.
