After both Shaw and Tabane shook on the bet Tabane and Chifuyu walked out of the arena to prepare for tomorrow and the group went back to their class, "alright class getting back where we left off, we're going to be practicing on team building once again, so I'm going to put you into teams of three and you will be competing against each other, got it?" Maya instructed. Before any of the students could respond Shaw yells out, "HELL YEAH! YOU'RE GOING DOWN HONNE!" "PLEASE HAVE MERCY!" Honne respond in panic, "NEVER!" Shaw shouted.
Everyone waited as Maya paired three students up with each other to begin the lesson, "O.K. next will be Ms. Alcott, Mr. Orimura, and Ms. Aikawa," said Maya, "and then Mr. Shaw, Ms. Dunois, and Ms. Nohotoke, there that's everyone now be careful and try not to hit your teammates... I'm looking at you Shaw," Maya addressed firmly. "Wwwhhaaaat, c'mon like I'll do anything like that," Shaw retorted and then turns to Honne and runs his thumb across his neck making her gulp.
After teams were made everyone checked through their weapons Shaw decided to give his team a word of advice, "remember guys "teammates" are just a fancy word for "Walking ammo boxes" got it," "that's just cruel Brendan," Charlotte commented disagree with his methodes. "relax Charlie I was only kidding," he retorted.
Charlotte inspected her weapons which were two smg p-90's making sure nothing was in the barrel, she then looked over to Shaw and to see the weapon he has in his hands which looked liked and old style double barrel, "you're really gonna take a break-action shotgun to a gunfight with fully automatic weapons?" Charlotte asked feeling doubly for Shaw's choice. "First of all it's a "double rifle" and yes I am, because look at it I could kill a dinosaur with these rounds," Shaw demonstrated by pulling out one of the bullets to illustrate how big it is.
The round seemed to reach from the bottom of his IS's palm to his finger tips, "and that's what makes it so deadly?" Honne asked amazed by the bullet, "no, this weapon is deadly because its... "Chuck Norris approved"," Shaw told his teammates. "That's ridiculous," Charlotte interjected, but Shaw then spins the gun around to show the "Chuck Norris Stamp of Approval" on the side of the barrel, "huh, I stand corrected," Charlotte stated amazed such a thing exists, "and also I'm bringing this," Shaw added picking up a SMG Vector.
"Alright first teams to go up against each other will be Alcott, Orimura, and Aikawa against Dunois, Shaw, and Nohotoke, please step on to the field," Maya instructed her students. Both teams stood on each end squaring up to each other, "HI HONNE-SAN!" Aikawa yelled out to her friend on the opposing team, "HI KIYOKA-SAN!" Honne yelled back gleefully, "you're gonna be fighting her soon you know that, right," Shaw whispered to Honne which made her feel a bit stupid.
"Oh Shaw I almost forgot to tell you, if you get out the field you'll be disqualified," Maya informed, "aww man, that's horse shit," Shaw complained, Maya gave both teams a moment to get ready and then, "BEGIN!" Right when the fight begun everyone took to the skies especially the other team so they can avoid the anti-everything that is the Ironclad, "HEY! GET DOWN HERE SO I CAN BEAT YOUR FREAK'N FACES IN!" Shaw threaten jumping in the air trying to reach them, but was completely useless.
Charlotte engages with Cecilia in a dog fight firing rounds at each other, they spun, dived, and dodging the onslaught of bullets being fired trying to land on their targets. Charlotte sees that Shaw is on the ground and wonders why isn't he rocketing himself into the air like he did on the first day he arrived, "Brendan, why aren't you jumping in the air like when you fought Ichika?" she called out and then ducks down, avoiding getting shot in the face. "Because it takes time to warm up, so I'm just gonna have to shoot from here for right now," Shaw pulls out the double rifle and aims it at Ichika.
Shaw squeezes the trigger and the gun made the loudest bang that anyone has ever heard, the slug goes ripping through the air nearly hitting Ichika, the round seem to only graze him on the shoulder, Ichika looks to his shoulder and sees a noticeable graze where the round made which was a perfectly smooth groove. Cecilia realized how much of a threat the gun in Shaw's possession could be so she deploys her drones and sends them to Shaw's way, but before the drones could make it, Shaw had blasted Ichika out of the sky by spraying the air with the Vector making him drop like sack of bricks.
"WHOOOOA!- BAM!" Ichika yelled before meeting the dirt, "ACCURACY IS FOR DOOOOOORKS!" Shaw expressed yelling up in the air, but then Shaw had received a shot to the back, but as with everything that took a shot at the Ironclad the blast had no effect. Shaw turns to Cecilia still high in the air and clearly he wasn't happy, "now you have my full attention, big mistake!" he yelled out.
The small fleet of Blue Tears drones had surrounded Shaw in all direction and before they could start firing Shaw thought it felt a little familiar, "I am having some major déjà vu here," and the drones begun there assault rounds flew everywhere landing on every part on him, Shaw shields his face so he wouldn't be blinded.
Ichika dusted himself off in the crater he made when he landed, "alright time to- POW!" Ichika was interrupted by a ricochet bullet, "are you serious?" said Shaw seeing how Ichika was easily shot back into the hole. After being carpeted by drones Shaw was starting to get pissed, "alright I had about enough of this," he draws out his Vector with one hand and starts to spray'n pray while he swats out some of the drones with his free hand.
While Shaw was busy with the drones and Charlotte and Cecilia trying to blast each other, Honne and Kiyoka were trying to make the fight look convincing, they didn't really want to hurt each other. They were pulling punches, aiming over their heads, pretty much stalling, they pull each other in so they can think of a strategy, but made it look like they were locking in to one another, "Honne-san what should we do? I don't wanna fight you," Kiyoka whispered, "I know, but I can't think of anything," Honne whispered back.
Back to Shaw, he had taken care of the last drone by stomping on it to the ground, "c'mon that's all you got," Shaw shouted "how about this," Ichika comes fast and before Shaw could react Ichika delivers a right hook to Shaw's left cheek. Shaw turns his head towards Ichika stuck his hand to his face and shoves him back, Ichika stumbles backwards, but charges back at Shaw swinging at him, Shaw ducks down dodging the first swing, he then stuck his left arm up blocking the second swing, then delivers a punch to Ichika's gut.
Ichika bows down clenching his stomach then stumbles back some more, but before he could recover Shaw comes in with a superman punch, sending Ichika to the ground making him immobile once again, "hey, you tried. AND FAILED!" Shaw quoted.
Back in the air Honne and Kiyoka were still trying come up of a way out of their predicament, "thought of anything yet?" Honne asked, "no, you?" Kiyoka answered, "we better think of something or- what's that sound?" they both heard a strange rumbling sound and it seemed to be getting louder. They both looked down to where the sound was coming from and both of them turned pale for they see Shaw rocketing towards them, "MAJESTIC. AS. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!" it seemed that the thrusters had fully warmed up and is now on a collision course for the both of them.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" they both screamed, they held on to each other for dear life because they were both too scared to move and can only watch as Shaw collides with them. there was a huge explosion as Shaw hits dead center of his target and all three of them fell back down to earth, as the smoke cleared Honne emerged from it miraculously unharmed.
"I'm O.K.? I'm O.K.!" she expressed in happiness, but was cut short as she looked over to Kiyoka. the Legs of her IS was in ruins, "uh no! Kiyoka-san are you O.K.?" Honne asked worryingly, "looks like she's in pain," Shaw jumped in, "NO I'M NOT, I'M FINE!" Kiyoka shouted in panic, "she's lying, here you have to put her out her misery," Shaw hands her his double rifle. Honne fumbles the gun in her hands so far Shaw has her on the fence wether her friend is really in pain (she's not).
"No I'm fine Honne, please believe me," Kiyoka pleaded as her friend pointed the gun at her, she frantically glanced between Kiyoka and Shaw back and forth as they both tried to convince her on who's right. "HONNE!" Kiyoka, "DO IT!" Shaw, "PLEASE!" "SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER," "NOOO!" "JUST, DO IT," what the fuck, where did Shia Labeouf come from?
Honne was in a panic so she closed her eyes, tightens her grip, and - BOOOOM!
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"... Man, right in the face," Shaw commented (don't worry she's O.K... Maybe).
Honne walks off the field crying like the boy who had to put down his dog in Old Yeller, now that Honne and Kiyoka are out it now just leaves four pilots left in the field.
Ichika vision starts to come back after being beaten down by Shaw, as his vision was about to be clear Ichika's eyes widen in alarm for Shaw was standing right over him, "heeeey buddy, how do you like to take a free flight," Shaw quipped, "naw I think am good," Ichika responded in fear for what Shaw had in store for him. "Oh c'mon don't be such a pansy," Shaw picks Ichika right of the ground and points the double rifle right to his chest, Ichika couldn't get himself free from the Ironclad's grip so he closed his eyes and braced himself.
The trigger was pulled and the hammer came down, igniting both rounds, blasting them out of the barrel, and into Ichika's chest sending him flying though the air with IS pieces flying everywhere. Maya jumped out of the way of where Ichika was going to land, Maya runs to Ichika still laying on the ground, "oh my god Ichika are you- wait a sec," Maya paused for a moment to what was hanging off of Ichika's waist, "hey this is my wallet! Ichika you were the one who stole my wallet?" Maya demanded in anger and before Ichika could protest Maya cuts him off, "well you're in big trouble young man, wait til your sister hears about this, for the rest of you class is dismissed," Maya grabs Ichika by the ear and drags him off to Chifuyu's office.
Cecilia and Charlotte came back down and watched as Ichika was dragged off, "wait, why does Ichika have Ms. Yamada's wallet? didn't you have it in your pocket Brendan?" Cecilia pondered and the girls turned to Shaw, "I... may have... slipped it in his pocket," he answered, "YOU WHAT!" they all yelled in disapproval. "how could you do that to Ichika?" Houki demanded, "yeah, that's just low," Laura added, "O.K. I know it's bad, but the Chief's already pissed off about me getting down and dirty in her office, so yeah I threw Ichika under the bus, but he's not gonna get into serious trouble. Like c'mon does he get in trouble constantly?"
The girls looked to one another and thought to themselves for a moment, and yeah Ichika doesn't get into trouble regularly maybe Chifuyu would let Ichika off easy. "fine Brendan-san we trust that Ichika is going to be alright, but if he gets seriously punished Laura's gonna kick you in your crotch again," Houki threaten. "Well bring it," Shaw called out, Laura sprinted towards Shaw and swung her leg as hard as she could and when her foot met with Shaw's privates Laura felt her foot was in immense pain, she hopped on one foot while she held on to the other, "OW! OW! OW! OW!" she cried out, "HA! I'm wearing a cup so what's ya gonna do now," Shaw gloat and was sudden met with a fist to the face sending him to the ground.
"... That didn't hurt," Shaw retorted still laying on the floor.
