Alright, so - its 2 AM. So it wasn't uploaded daily. Whoops. Don't smite me. Another chapter tonight. - Jamble
"What else did you find out about that girl? Is she okay?"
"Yes, I told you at the end didn't I? She was in recovery but wasn't able to make much of anything even she did herself."
"So she was pretty much brainwashed of sorts."
"I would think so, yes."
The two walked down a glistening white sidewalk as the wind hit their faces;taking the reaction of their attire to their own. They sifted through the land nonchalantly as Tatenashi grew more and more fond of Ichika. She had now mentally jotted the small little things he did;from the way he moved his head or hands when he was thinking hard about something, to how stupid and dense he used to be compared to now.
Alas, that was only the thought she had turned into bold in her mind; as she was still quite surprised he didn't blow up in a storm after their little kiss the night before.
"So, how are you holding up about that Gospel? Wasn't Tabane a family friend, or like a sister to you? I know how hard something like that is."
"No, she was never or isn't anything like that. She was just...there, and then gone - literally within seconds. I think she teleport somehow."
Tatenashi started to laugh loudly;causing Ichika to smirk as he began to question her.
"I remember Ayame talking about weapons - the Infinite Stratos forming weapons that are even more decisive then Razor Wind. Is there technology being developed for something more then the I.S?"
Tatenashi sighed as she tilted her head slight upwards;placing her hands behind her head;grouping her fingers together like a cell rejoining another.
"Ichika - personally I believe Tabane is up to absolutely no good. I'll tell you about something that happened with her and I...and you don't need to worry. No more secrets."
"That's a dream at this point, come on. I've taken everything so far, I can take as many secrets as you can throw at me."
She glinted her eyes at the boy playfully;halting on her words as they continued walking.
"Hey - that was sarcastic. Don't actually throw them at me."
Tatenashi giggled as she began to explain;her voice now more soothing then it already was to his hears. He had started to feel happier when he was with her. Seeing her face everyday made the stress of the academy disappear.
"No! - You can't touch that." The long dressed, carpet drapes of pink hair laid in the dust clouds of the air as Tabane hollered at a familiar girl in her engineering room.
The room had various amounts of mounted gear;screens appearing with associative terms only a very adept Infinite Stratos computer expert would be able to make the vast amount of needed heads and tails of. Across the metal floor of the room was a gargantuan -wide plush - abnormal looking rug;sinking a bit when one stepped on it. It was designed to feel good and comfy against bare feet or feet without donned shoes. Tabane sat in her chair atop a podium, her back of her and the chair faced the opposite way of large screens;including a large television.
Various plushies of cute creatures only a particular amount of fans could identify laid in corners of the room along with beanbags and a bed neatly made.
The girl had black hair, a seemingly common trait among many of the residents here. This was Madoka. She had a singular thought on her mind, a singular bullet that bounced its way around the canals of her brain. She had wanted to find and kill Chifuyu Orimura, but she didn't exactly know why. That didn't make her care, because with every single day she was alive, she learned something new about the world she had been put in.
She had been given these small objects, these small - white capsules to ingest, and she felt weird taking them. She didn't know what they were, why she had to take them, or what they did to her body;frolicking in her stomach without her brain even getting close to sending transmissions.
All of this resonated in her head as she rolled her eyes, placing the black rectangular object back down on the podium she had picked it up from.
"You never really let me touch anything, Mistress."
"That's because I don't want you breaking it, silly~" Tabane cutely spouted as she rotated in her movable chair;her critical bunny ears making a small electrical sound as the small metal balls representing wheels pattered across the floor as they carried the powerful woman.
"Whatever." Madoka heavily sighed.
The two women in the room tilted their heads as the door opened;letting in more light then was let on in the room;revealing a silhouette of Tatenashi as she walked forward. Another girl allied with her, walking to her right side as they both stood in the front of the doorway, letting the air carry the door to it's sill;shutting in reaction. Criptrit was with her as she began to talk to Tabane.
"Hey! Tabane-san? What the hell happened with that Gospel?! I had contacts and sources in America that reported they had absolutely no meddling business in releasing or triggering an Infinite Stratos.
"I wonder, 'Miss Flirty-san.', do you like the world we live in? This world...we rule. I love this world."
"What the hell does that mean?" Tatenashi was getting visibly upset, critically angry that her sister was put in harms way.
"Iii-kun needs to be more aware of what I am. I helped him achieve his location now anyhow. Hopefully in a year or so, he'll be here. With my little sister and I - or...the more than likely conclusion - he won't be here."
"Are you an idiot? Did you send that to attack him?"
"Here I was talking about conclusions, and you go jumping to them without any intelligence what-so-ever."
"Was that a bite at me? You put my sister in danger. You injured her. You nearly killed Ichika."
"Again I say, conclusions are a real bitch, but I must permit decisions to keep this world we live in. I love this world. It'd be a shame if it disappeared."
"No way. She sent that to attack us? That bitch!" Ichika rolled his hand into a fist as he began walking faster; the two coming to their goal location as they stared at the staircase leading directly upwards to the entrance of the academy;leaves blowing fiercely past them as the water drops bounced off their surface, making a sound only Mother Nature could resonate. He cursed himself for reacting so idiotically, gently regretting the way he acted in front of Tatenashi, and he didn't even know why.
Tatenashi walked towards him; his fast movement allowing him to end up leaning against the right side of the wall in front of the staircase, holding an intention to console and caress him.
She succeeded in her intention, gently wrapping her arms around him, and grasping his fist;gently bringing it up to her mouth. She kissed it;making him blush as she began to talk.
"Don't worry about it. We'll figure out everything, and we Will prevail. Its just great to get this all across to you. No secrets. No more. - and just think, your training with a different assortment of weapons begins tonight. So, lets get to sleep. I have a plan to-"
Ichika's eyes widened as he felt a sharp pain in his body;causing him to abruptly scream in pain and grab his stomach, falling down on his knees, taking Tatenashi with him.
She had let this surprise her, quickly spouting her atmospherically flammable responses.
"Ichika..Ichika! What the hell? Are you okay?"
Ichika responded by grunting, now falling out of her hands and rolling onto his side, facing the white wall as he pulsated with pain.
"Ichika!" Tatenashi became emotional; attempting to pick him up.
When she attempted to push her arms around his back;an electrical current formed itself in the middle of her line of sight and shocked her statically.
"What the hell?" she was completely flabbergasted.
Ichika's body began to resonate with a small magnet-felt effect as Tatenashi attempted to get closer to him. It was as if she was putting two magnets against each other and they didn't want to go together.
A horrified expression appeared on her face as Ichika moved his head upwards, staring into her eyes.
She got a glimpse of his eyes, and they weren't normal. They were glistening turquoise;crystal-like as he grunted even more in pain.
Students surrounded the area;one already racing to the classrooms and infirmary to warn everybody of what was going on.
With a quick sound of a bang, Tatenashi quickly summoned part of her I.S;her arm becoming an all familiar looking massive mechanical hand hand as she attempted to lightly pick him up, the attempt becoming quickly becoming successful.
The electrical field made it's way to Tatenashi and shocked her;causing her to feel a small amount of pain as she carried him.
"Tatenashi! Can you explain to me just what the actual Hell is wrong with him? Is it something with his I.S?!" Chifuyu yelled in anger;the students around the area staring in awe at what they were witnessing, Charlotte and Laura attending the unfortunate audience as well.
"We get him to the infirmary first, genius." Tatenashi fired back with more anger and pain.
