Infinite Stratos: Advent of Will
There are some changes I will list:
1) After the Kidnapping: The six months that Chifuyu and Ichika spent before she left for Germany for a year.
2) Ichika's interaction with the Byakushiki.
3) This fan-fiction will incorporate parts of each I.S. Medium (Light Novel, Manga, and Anime) with some changes here and there AS NECESSARY.
4) This fan-fiction will incorporate parts of Green Lantern (Comic and animation) AS NECESSARY, mostly focusing on Ichika's power.
5) This is the Dialogue layout: "Regular Dialogue"- "Ring Dialogue"- "Ion's Dialogue"- (Ichika's thought Dialogue)-{Sound effect} –"Aya's Dialogue"
6) Most importantly: I DO NOT own Green lantern as it is the property of DC Comics and all it subsidiaries and I DO NOT own Infinite Stratos/ISインフィニット・ストラ as it is the property of Izuru Yumizuru, Media factory, and various other companies.
(Read it like the "A*row" intro.)
My name is Orimura Ichika and I am the avatar of Will.
Once, I was just the younger brother of an ace I.S. pilot, until a plot against her put me in harms way, but in finding the strength to overcome my fear and protect my family, a powerful force chose me. Now, I am the "Beacon of Light" in the darkness, where those in fear of evil may go to. I AM: THE GREEN LANTERN!
Chapter 20: Blue Fire!
It had been two days later and weird things have been happening in the city. Sightings of a strange blue person flying around at night, crime has been on the rise, and at the same time, a heat wave had hit the city. The S.P.'s were stretched thin and we had our hands full dealing with the more severe crimes. These were not the usual criminals you see every day, as they were smart and resourceful, somehow evading capture by using unconventional tactics and their surroundings.
"Pull over, right now!" I yelled though a megaphone construct, while flying after a modified blue M.G.F.T. (How'd they get something like that?) As I turned the corner, a missile flew right at me, and I caught it in an energy bubble, letting it explode safely. I continued after them and the next thing I know, I'm suddenly taking gunfire from another M.G.F.T. in red. I created a shield and flew after it, but when I got close, it stopped firing and exploded. It was lucky that there was no one around to get caught up in it, but the other trailer got away.
Meanwhile, at the other side of the city, the S.P.s and White Knight were having a standoff with a similar group of criminals that stole precious metals from a secure depository storage facility. They held themselves in a condemned building, firing their rifles, and keeping the S.P.s at bay. White Knight had chased them for a good distance and they had passed several routes that could have helped them escape. Something stunk. She took the initiative, switching to "Shield Maiden" mode, she quickly and quietly moved around and entered the building. She headed to the floor and room that the gunfire came from only to see an automated machine gun, programmed to fire if fired upon or if any one comes too close to a pre-set perimeter. She shut off the mechanism and signaled the S.P.s that it was safe. How'd they get away, she didn't know, but she was planning to find out, one way or another.
At home, we were dead tired. So as soon as we got showered and ate, we compared notes, and came to understand that they might be part of the same group, operating two different jobs. We already had a full day ahead of us tomorrow, so we went to our rooms and fell asleep. By morning, my sister headed out to get her paperwork officiated, while I headed to school. After that, we're planning to go full force in hunting these smart crooks, and bring them down.
At school, nothing had really changed much, except for my friend. He was tired again. As a matter of fact, he's been very tired for the past few days and I was starting to get worried.
Dan dragged himself on to the desk with his bag in tow. He plopped it on top and fell on in, falling asleep without missing a beat. {SNOOOOOOORRRRREEEE}
"Dan… DAN!" I called, waking him up in the process.
"WHAT!?" He snapped. I raised my hands in defense. This was a Dan that was in no mood for any conversation.
"Calm down." I told him. "I'm just worried. You've been coming to school exhausted for the past two days. What gives?"
"Yawn." I don't know." He said, putting his head back on the desk. "I've been like this for no reason. Every time I go to bed, I wake up feeling like I ran a marathon or got beaten by sticks. I look fine, but I feel dead tired. I just need… some… res…" {SNOOOOOOORRRREEEE}
"DAN!"
"HUH? AH? OH?"
"OK, we're going to the infirmary!" I decided. "Excuse me, sensei?"
After telling our teacher that Dan was not feeling well, he excused us and we left the classroom.
At the main headquarters of the Security Police in the city, a meeting was taking place. Officers and detectives were up in arms about these new, smarter, criminals taking the city for themselves, while S.P.s were trying to figure out what the end game was. White Knight was in attendance as she also had a stake in this. They got away from her last time, she planned on making it just that: The Last Time.
She refused to let some crooks wreck her city, so, as Orimura Chifuyu, she had gone and quickly officiated her paper work and, as White Knight, flew to the main office to listen to any plans or hints on who they were dealing with in the first place and how to bring them down.
She was not going to let them get away again.
"I-I understand that the Security Police Force is at wits end about these criminals." Said the Chief Head of the S.P.F. Japan Branch, Commissioner Yaminari Sasuke. He was a thin, balding man, who managed to get his position through political skill and P.R. control. "But, rest assured, we will bring them down with OUR skills and experience." He emphasized that word, while looking at White Knight. He never made it a secret that he held no love for vigilantes. While most of the S.P.s accepted us, there will always be those kind of guys who see us as a part of the problem. But after what we've done for the world, he couldn't REALLY voice his opinions openly.
"But the main question is; how do we do that without blow back from our actions?" Asked one of the Chiefs. He was an American with light brown hair, who wore glasses, and seemed like he was natural leader type. He was looking carefully at Commissioner, Yaminari. As if he was expecting something. "We come with cuffs, they come with guns. We come with bullet-proof vests, they come with armor piercing rounds. Every time we step up our game, they come at us harder. How do we end it?"
"Yeah!" "There are kids who could get caught up in this." "How the hell are we going to protect the city?" They cried. Some of them have friends and families that could get drawn into the battle and they can't afford to risk their lives if these new breed of criminal takes advantage of them by kidnapping or…
"Calm down! Calm down!" He said, reclaiming order. "Security Police Chief, James Gordon…san." He looked at him the same way he did White Knight. "You were brought here due to your familiarity with handling advanced criminal tactics, not to stir up trouble." He then made a smirk. "Though, I'm sure most of your cases take care of themselves, what with that vigilante in your city, who walks around in a party costume."
Most guys who get insulted, would usually get mad, but Gordon-san, he just took it in stride. Apparently, to live in his city, you HAD to keep your cool. Noticing that Gordon-san was not biting, his smirk turned into a small sneer. "Tsk…" He gave his attention to the other chiefs and detectives. "Now we will discuss the tactics, which Chief Gordon has devised, and incorporate the valid parts into our strategies."
Everyone opened their folders and the meeting began in earnest.
(Green Lantern Side)
We made it to the infirmary, but the nurse wasn't there, so I laid him on one of the beds. He wasted no time getting comfortable and pulling the covers over his head. {SNNNOOOOOOOOORRRREEEE} I smiled and got up to go get some canned tea from the vending machine outside. As I walked over to the machine down the hall, I thought about the city's problem with these new breed of criminal. They were smart, knew the layout of the city streets, and may have the money and skills to buy or steal I.S. trailers.
While I was lost in my thoughts, I picked green tea on the options and started walking back.
{BOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!}
An explosion rocked the floor and it knocked me down. I got up fast and ran over to the source of the blast: The infirmary.
"DAN! DAN!" I yelled. I set my ring to detect life, while I moved debris. I was terrified that my best friend, my brother, may had been hurt or… worse. After a minute, I found his blazer and his shirt, both torn to shreds. I was starting to freak out, when the teachers came in, with one of them checking if I was OK. I was about to yell about Dan, when they looked up in shock. I turned around and saw it too. A blue and grey armored humanoid man with bug-like wings. It's chest had an intricate design in it. It was like a grey spot with a four pointed star surrounded by lines to its back. His face had an insect-based kabuki design, but no mouth. Its eyes were yellow like the gem on its forehead. It was looking at me with, what I assumed, was a blank expression. It flew off quickly and, while the teachers were distracted, I ran off.
Changing into my Lantern uniform, I flew off in pursuit. It moved like a dragonfly as it zipped around the sky. I eventually caught up to it and we flew across the city until we wound up in a quarry where development was in still in progress. The workers were surprised by us as we landed across from each other, ten feet between us. I said only one word to the workers: "Leave!" I raised my glowing ring, pointing out the seriousness of the situation. They didn't need to be told twice and they grabbed their stuff and got the hell out of there. I stood there, practically burning holes into it. I was angry at it for what it did, but I knew that if I let my anger get to me, I might make mistakes that could cost me.
"What are you?" I asked. "What are you doing here?"
"….." It said nothing in response.
"Why did you attack the school?"
"….." It just stared at me.
"Where is the kid you took from the room?!" I was losing patience. "Answer me!"
It stood there, and for a moment, I thought it froze, so I took a step towards it. Suddenly, it's hand changed shape and fired a laser at my feet. I quickly made a shield as I backed away.
"Green Lantern Identified." It said with the sound of two voices in speaking as one. "Protocol 1 failed. Protocol 2 is now in effect." As I wondered why one of the voices sounded familiar, it didn't let me think too long as it flew at me with a mandible blade for an arm. I dropped back in dead man fashion, missing it's swing by a hair. When I tried to sweep it's legs, it had already made some distance between us. It took a stance, telling me that it was going for another swing, so I created a bouken to defend myself. When it's blade glowed yellow and swung at me, I thought I would be able to block and counter it, but it sliced right through my sword construct like butter, catching me off guard. If I hadn't taken a step back during the attack, I was sure I would have wound up with more than a haircut. (Damn! I missed my chance to counter!)
It then straightened itself and looked at me with it's head turned to the side a little. It then changed it's blade back into a hand and took a boxer's stance. It made it's fists like spiked boxing gloves and each spike glowed yellow. I was confused for a moment, but I quickly understood that it figured out that sword tactics won't do the job, but close quarter combat was still on the table. I created a pair of boxing gloves and assumed a stance as well. Dan had taught me some boxing, but I wasn't very good at it. Out of ten battles, Dan would out class me nine times, and that's if he's holding back.
We stood our ground and waited, as the first move would determine who won, the battle. (I'm not planning on losing.) For a full minute, no one moved. We carefully watched for any movement. Finally, the blue guy moved first. Flying at me with some really impressive speed, he launched two small left punches. I dodged them easily, and threw a left hook, followed by a right cross. It avoided the first one, but got caught by the second in the face. It retaliated by going for an uppercut, but I moved away with room to spare. At we fought, it felt like I was fighting a boxing otaku. (It read the manga and watched the anime, but never practiced the moves.) Deciding that I've seen enough, I picked up the pace and laid out combos that Dan taught me. One hit, two hits, three hits, four hits. The number of punches were going up as I landed each one without getting hit back once. (This is just too easy.) I clenched my defending left fist and went for a right uppercut, but, without warning, it stepped back, missing my swing, and landed a four hit combo on my stomach. (Crap! I got too cocky!)
I froze as I felt pain in my stomach. I never forgot those spikes on it's gloved fists and me feeling only aching pain, must have meant that my body went into shock and hasn't realized that I've been seriously hurt. I slowly looked down, expecting to see holes with blood and the like, coming out of me, but when I saw my body it was still intact, my mind went sideways. Confused, I looked at my opponent and saw it had it's boxing gloves, still glowing yellow, but without spikes. I looked at it as if to ask why and saw a sight that made me wonder what the hell is going on.
It's looked like it was struggling with itself as it held it's head. "Y-you are-are-are-are! I am-am! We, they… Who?" Suddenly it slumped it's arms and stopped moving.
"I not sure what was going on, but I plan to find out." I walked up to it and grabbed it by the arm. "Get up! We're going somewhere so I can get some answers!"
"Error! Synchronization rate at 10%!" It said with only one machine-like voice. "Protocol 16 in effect!"
It threw me off and flew into the sky. I followed but as soon as I got close, it created a pair of translucent bulbs on it's shoulders. I felt this feeling before and reacted by covering my eyes, just as a bright white flash came on. When I put my arms down, the bug guy disappeared. "What?! HEY! GET BACK HERE, YOU BLUE BASTARD!" (ARRGH! I HATE THAT MOVE!)
At 9:00 pm, I finally came home and my sister was pretty mad. She heard about the explosion and how I disappeared from school. But before she could talk, I told her about Dan going missing and the blue armored "bug man" that was the cause of the explosion. She nodded and I asked her if she had heard any news, then furious knocking came from the door. I headed to the door and it was Dan's sister, Ran, and mother, Ren-san, with worried looks.
Gotanda Ren-san is the beautiful unofficial mascot of 'Gotanda Eatery.' She had short, blood red hair, which her children had inherited, and she wore a purple kimono. She would smile, welcoming customers warmly, no matter what the situation. It was her way of keeping things going that helped more people than most even realize. To see that smile replaced by a worried frown, really brought out how serious this was. We let them in and seated them in the living room.
"Chifuyu-chan, Ichika-kun." Ren-san was not looking well and we already knew why. The Gotandas had heard about the explosion and Dan's disappearance. As such, the father, Gou, and Grandfather, Gen, had been at the School and S.P.'s station, trying to get any and all information about Dan's whereabouts, while Ran and Ren-san had gone to the places that Dan would frequent, such as the aikido dojo or the boxing gym a ways down from it. "H-Has Dan been here?" It broke my heart to tell them that he wasn't. She looked like she was going to cry.
{THUMP} {THUMP} {THUMP} I got up and excused myself to get the door. (Who the hell knocks like that?!) I opened the door and got the shock of my life. It was Dan, bruised, exhausted and… naked? I grabbed him before he fell on the ground. Calling everyone, we got him inside. After laying him on the couch and covering him in a blanket, we all had our own reactions. Chifuyu-nee cursed how things could have happened, Ren-san was pale, but holding strong, as being hysterical was not helpful and her baby needed her, while Ran, sobbing tears, wanted to know who did this to him and cursed them to their grave. As for me, I knew who did this and that guy was going down. HARD.
It was the morning and it was a Sunday, so no school. My sister was stuck with hunting the crime group that was gripping the city in fear. Dan was in the hospital and I was standing guard around his bedroom to make sure nothing happened to him again. While Ran was in the room by his side. I didn't really want the Gotanda family there because, the chances that the blue bug guy showing up was not zero, but his family was still worried and scared of losing him suddenly, and I can't fault them for that. (If something happened to my sister, I wouldn't leave her side for nothing, ether.)
When visiting time was over, we headed over to the lunch room. Ren-san and her husband, Gou-san, where already sitting by the tables, talking how tasteless the food was and thinking up ways to improve it. In reality, they were trying to keep their minds occupied from thoughts of how they almost lost their son. Before we walked over to them, Ran pulled my sleeve and pointed to some empty seats. I got some drinks and we sat down.
"You know… I've always thought of my brother as annoying or a pain. There were even times that I would want to kick his butt." She admitted. "But, I've never really wanted to hurt him, wish that he would disappear or… die." She began to tear up a little. "So why? Why would someone try to hurt my Onii-san?" She started to sob. She hadn't called him that in a long time. I held her close and suddenly we were embraced by two more people, Ren-san and Gou-san. I too, didn't want anything to happen to him ether and that whatever it was, is going to get it as soon as I find it. But, almost as if fate had heard me, {KA-DOOOOOM} an explosion rocked the hospital. I got out of the group hug and ran over to Dan's room, not realizing that the Gotandas were following me. (I was too focused on the danger.)
As soon as I got to the room, I was greeted by a sight most people would have blocked from their memories. Dan was on his knees and metal bug wings were coming out of him. I wanted to get to him, but as soon I took a step…
"Onii-chan!" Ran moved past me, while Gou-san and Ren-san were in shock form what they were seeing. As soon as she got close, Dan's arm was covered in grey armor and a blue gauntlet, it changed into an arm cannon, aimed at her, and fired. {BOOOOM}
"RAAAN!" Ren-san and Gou-san yelled. The bed was burnt away, machines were knocked clear across the room, and a large, blinding, cloud of smoke was where their child was. At first, they thought they lost their daughter, but when the smoke cleared, I was holding an unconscious Ran in my arms, with a kite shield construct in front. She had passed out from the shock. With my ring, I handed her over to her parents, while I tried to figure out what happened to their son.
"Dan!" I called. "What happened to you?!"
"I-I-I can't control it!" He cried in pain. He struggled against whatever it was that was covering him. "Something's t-taking over my body!"
"Fight it, Dan!"
"I… I don't think I can!"
"YES YOU CAN, DAMMIT!" He looked at me in shock. I continued talking to him, hoping that words of encouragement might help him through this. "The Dan I know, didn't let things like this stop him. Where is the guy that fought alongside me against some gangbangers in Mexico? Where is that guy that picked up the slack when C-Kilowog left? Where is the guy who became my best friend, when no one else wanted anything to do with me and my sister, when our parents left? I'll tell you where he is!" I pointed right at him. "He's right here! And sure as hell, I know he wouldn't let something like this stop him!"
"Ichika…" He then closed his eyes for a moment and nodded. "O-OK! I'll do… what I can on my… end, but… stop my body until then!"
"Got it!" I fist pumped.
"And remember… Not the face." He joked with a strained smile. "It's... My money maker..."
I sweat dropped and returned the smile, then turned to the Gotandas. "I'm sorry. I'll explain when this is all over." I then raised my ring and spoke my oath:
[In the light, born of strong will.]
[In my family, my hope stronger still]
[To the evil that seeks to harm others for a thrill,]
[The Green Lantern's justice, I shall instill!]
They watched in shock, as my outfit changed into the uniform of the Green Lantern. My face changed and my visor appeared. After the blue and grey armor covered Dan completely, it looked at me and flew out to the park nearby, while I followed suit.
We landed near the pond in the center of the park and stood before each other.
"One chance, parasite!" I warned. "Get off my friend or get torn off!"
"…Protocol 0 in effect." It stood with two legs apart and bulked up in size. Muscles were bulging out as it tensed itself. Frankly, it was like looking at the weight lifting athlete Liam'e Hoekstra'ker. (Suddenly, fighting this guy doesn't seem like a good idea. Dan's going to owe me BIG time!)
Inside of Dan's mind, he was fighting a different battle. At first, he was floating in the darkness, but after realizing that this was something like a waking dream, he focused himself. Something he had learned from training in a gym and a dojo. It was beaten into him. Through that focus, he created a room that was a mix of the two. Satisfied, he then called out for the presence that was holding his body hostage.
"Alright, you… whatever the hell you are! Come on out!"
"….."
"I know your there!"
"…."
"I can see you from behind the training dummy." At first it continued to make no sound, but after hearing that, it really did come out from behind the training equipment.
"Eh?!" Dan was surprised by what he saw. It wasn't the fact that it really was behind the dummy (He was bluffing.), but it was the form it came as. The Bug Idol.
"You… You're that blue statue I was working on!"
"_- -_ - - _ - _ _ -_ -" It said in a weird language.
"Huh?" He looked at it with a question mark on his head. "Let's try that again, only… in a language that I understand." It was a full minute before Dan felt like something wiggled in his brain.
"Understood." It said in a bland voice. "I request assistance."
"Eh?" Dan was taken by surprise with it's blatancy. "After high jacking my body, is that how you ask for favors?"
"I do not understand."
"What I mean is, I'll do something for you, if you do something for me."
"?"
I saw the glittering lake with it's serene scenery, I thought (Now that I see it from here, this is a nice place.) Then I hit the ground real hard. "UOOF-HA!" As Dan's body picked me up by the arm, while turning his other hand into a cannon, I created a bubble that took the hit. It was destroyed and before I could recover, he knocked me into a tree with enough force that it shattered, I kept going until I crashed into the next one and broke it in half. I then noticed that it didn't hurt as much. (Dan must be holding it back to some degree… Still hurts though.)
I got up as it lumbered up to me, still a gigantic beast, and grabbed my neck. It started to choke me. As I tried to pry it's hands from me, I was running out of options. I created a jack hammer construct and aimed it at his torso. It hit rapidly, forcing him off me. (Sorry, Dan.) It stumbled back, holding it's stomach and I flew at him with a battering ram construct, knocking him down, then I created restraints, holding down parts of the body, preventing him from escaping. He struggled fiercely, making the restraints crack. I held on as much as I could, putting more power into keeping the construct as stable as possible. He started to quiet down and, for a moment, I thought I may have found a solid way to hold him in place, but as soon as I relaxed a bit, it struggled even harder, breaking the bonds. Due to me putting so much concentration on the construct and then relaxing my mind after, I was mentally stunned and fell on one knee. He walked up to me and kicked me onto my back. I couldn't see his pupils, but I could feel it. He was looking me in the eyes. He put his foot on my chest and turned his hand into a mandible blade, raising his arm to finish me off.
"ONII-CHAN, NO!" Screamed a familiar voice. Lowering it's weapon, both it and I looked at the source. Ran and the others were there. I wanted to yell for them to get away, but it pressed it foot harder on me, forcing the wind out of me. It turned to me, raised it's blade back in the air, and then swung. I couldn't stop what was coming and closed my eyes.
But nothing came.
I opened one eye and saw that it froze in place. The blade was inches away from my face. I paled for a moment and realized that I could slip out. It then moved and went into a standing position, shrinking in size, then it kneeled, and finally, the armor started to come off as Dan's familiar form came into view.
"Kuh!" He said wincing in pain. "It told me it would hurt for a little while…"
"Dan? Are you… You?" I asked, scared that he might attack me at the last minute.
"Who else could I be?" He replied in a tired voice. "If I wasn't me, the world would become less awesome. Now, take me to the nearest bed, I'm sleepyyyyy…" He collapsed and we ran to him worried, but as soon as we got to him…
{SNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRREEEE!}
We all face faulted. (This guy…) Ran came up to him and yelled at him, not that it did much good, while Ren-san and Gou-san were watching them with smiles of relief, but then, they looked at me with a frown. I knew I had a lot of explaining to do.
(While I figure out how to do that, I let the narrator tell you how my sister's morning went.)
(White Knight Side)
It was morning and Orimura Chifuyu had a full schedule. She wanted to join her little brother, Ichika, in watching over his best friend Dan at the hospital, but she had other work to deal with. She showered and put on a white dress shirt with a black dress skirt and dark stockings and heeled shoes, with a black blazer and tie that her brother placed neatly on her bed. She looked at her outfit and felt thankful that her brother always knew how to be her support and that he'd make a great house husband, one day… If he wasn't so dense to every girl who liked him.
"AH-CHOO!" Sneezed Ichika, who was sitting by his friend's bedside. (Is someone talking about me?)
After that, she headed to the German embassy to finish the paperwork and have it registered and officiated. The German government was doing everything in their power to make the process as smooth as possible, as this was the only chance for the legendary first Mondo Grosso Champion train their I.S. pilots. Since the tourney was always held in Japan, there were many locations that held embassies from other countries. The one she was heading to, was situated near the French Embassy, close to the park with a beautiful lake. Across from it was the hospital that her brother and the Gotandas were in, but she didn't have the time to visit.
Entering the gateway, security guards in black suits and sunglasses were the first to receive her.
"Halt!" Said one of the guards. The other had his hand in his blazer jacket. Chifuyu quickly analyzed the guards and knew their threat level was pretty low. She showed them her pass and, after a checking with the office inside, they let her through. She walked up to the building. It was like looking at a full military installation, only without tanks and the like. It is an embassy after all.
She entered the imposing building and the first to meet her was the very general who gave her the proposition in the first place: General Trotzen. He was an older man, graying from the sides. A thick scar on his check showed he has had experience with life and death situations, and his eyes show full determination that most men, half his age, wished they had. He wore a grey suit, different from when she first met him. She made a futsurrei bow and began speaking to him.
"Sie haben sich angezogen?" [You've dressed down?] She asked in German.
"Ich habe im Ruhestand." [I've retired.] He replied in surprise. "Aber sie wollen immer noch, ihre Hunde an der kurzen Leine zu halten." [But they still wish to keep their dogs on a short leash.]
She raised an eyebrow. "Wann ist es passiert?" [When did it happen?]
"Einen Monat nach Ihrem kleinen Bruder entführt wurde." [A month after your little brother was kidnapped.] He walked over to a nearby table and sat down. He held a hand over to the chair across from him, motioning her to sit. She took the seat.
"Heh…" He smiled. "Also, wenn hast du gelernt, Deutsch zu sprechen?" [So when did you learn to speak German?]
"Ich begann eine Woche, nachdem ich erfuhr, dass ich im Begriff war, in einem anderen Land für ein Jahr zu leben ..." [I started a week after I learned that I was going to live in another country for a year...] She gave him a clear understanding that she didn't care for what he did when she needed help. "Ich mein Studium der Sprache fertig vor zwei Tagen." [I finished my studies of the language two days ago.]
When she said that, she wasn't making light of him. During the first month she bought books and studied late into the night and when the ship came, she would have Aya create holographic scenarios to provide simulated real-time experience so as to sharpen her dialect. Within the span of two short months after that, she mastered the language and used the remaining time to get comfortable with fully speaking it at any time, while perfecting any and all rough spots she may encounter.
"Das hast du gut gemacht." [You've done well.] He said with a smile. "Sie sprechen, als ob Sie in Deutschland Ihr ganzes Leben gelebt haben." [You speak as if you've lived in Germany all your life.]
"Ich tue, was ich muss für meine Familie." [I do what I must for my family.] She then got up from her seat. "Im Moment habe ich Aufgaben zu erledigen. Entschuldigen Sie mich." [I currently have duties to attend to. Excuse me.] She bowed and left to the registration office on the next floor.
After spending an hour at the office, she had an appointment with the Security Police. After leaving the elevator she noticed that the ex-general was gone. Thinking that he probably had some other duties to attend to, she walked out of the embassy and headed to an alleyway where she contacted Aya.
"Aya, can you "Adjust" the feed from the cameras following me?"
"Of course."
In a dark room somewhere, a group of men and women in dark suits were watching the screens. On them were surveillance video feeds of Chifuyu.
"Mit wem redet sie?" [Who is she talking to?] Asked one of them.
"Ich weiß es nicht." [I don't know.] Answered another.
"Ich kann das Signal nicht zu verfolgen." [I can't trace the signal.]
Suddenly, the screen was caught in static. Everyone was scrambling left and right, until the screen came back, but without the subject they were tracking.
"Wo ist sie hingegangen!?" [Where did she go!?]
"Finden Sie sie oder wir gehen fehlen auch!" [Find her or we'll go missing too!]
Little did they know that Chifuyu wasn't missing. In fact, she was still there, standing in the same alleyway that the surveillance was recording. It's just that the devices were ignoring her image.
"All surveillance data has been altered."
"Thank you, Aya."
"My pleasure."
Chifuyu put her white ring on and raised it to the sky. She blushed ever so slightly before speaking her oath:
[Riding through the fields of war.]
[To protect the innocent, forever more.]
[I carry my kin through the light.]
[Guarded by the Brunhilde's might]
Soon five rings appeared around her. One around her head, two on her hands and two at her feet. They glowed and her outfit became illuminated, turning into her I.S. combat suit. Then the rings then converged on her waist creating her I.S. armor. Her two giant wing generators came to life and she took off into the sky.
Her destination: S.P. headquarters.
Upon landing, she changed to her Shied-Maiden form, and was welcomed by most of the S.P.s while others were intimidated by her through her reputation. She was lead to a large conference room and, after a short while, the meeting began. It had been three hours and some of the S.P.s left due to a disturbance at a park somewhere, but it had been resolved by the Green Lantern.
After three more hours, the conference came to an end. During that time, she was about to leave, when an S.P. officer called out to her.
"Excuse me, Ma'am."
"You're… Chief, James Gordon."
"That's correct, Ma'am."
"Well then, Chief Gordon, how can I help you?"
"There's something I need to ask you." But before he could ask her what the topic was, two officers came out of a room and began chatting. He frowned for a moment and turned to her. "But not here. Come to Tsuinmūn Park later, by the statue, at 10:00 P.M." He then, handed her and old USB drive, walked away, and stuck up a conversation with the two officers.
Normally she would be very suspicious about this, but something about him told her that this was important. She nodded, turned, and left as if nothing happened. All the while, wondering what the contents this small device had.
Later, she got home with the intention to rest and check the drive in the ship's systems afterwards, only to find the Gotandas sitting in her living room, the bug Idol on the table moving about, and her little brother looking very pale. She mentally face palmed as she knew that this was going to get complicated.
Next Chapter: The Knight's Justice!
When Chifuyu, Ichika, and Dan try to explain their double identities to the Gotandas, the result is unexpected. Later, White Knight and Chief Gordon try to solve a crime, which could result in ether the Security Police's Destruction or Salvation.
Sorry for the abrupt end there, but I was pressed for time constraints. So as of 12/25/2015: I wish you all a Merry Christmas!
The German spoken earlier was done by Google Translate, so if there's any mistranslated words, I am sorry.
And for those who don't know what a Futsuurei Bow is:
A futsuurei bow is used when you're interacting with someone who is higher-ranking or has some sort of power over you, such as your boss or your in-laws, or like the Ex-general who pulled that stunt early in the story. There is also the Keirei bow that has the same 30 to 45° angle, but that is a more respectful version for people who deserve it.
