Black Falcon 01 is back again with a new chapter, fresh out of the oven and ready to read, okay... now... I won't become burdensome with any introductions, as I have none to say for once. Heck! That actually isn't bad for once... anyway... no words, just sit back, read and enjoy!

Taming Kestrel Chapter 50:

- IS Teachers lounge 14:30pm -

To say that its just the students that are excited by an on-coming party would be totaly untrue, ever since the end of the morning's closing celebrations... or at least... the final briefings, nearly every single IS academy teacher is making an effort to turn up in either an average or stunning way in order make festivities all the more better for the learning and study stressed IS students. Though many academy teachers would merely remain dressed in usual attire, the IS academy is an exception. The green haired and very friendly IS academy teacher Maya Yamada is definate proof of the happy atmosphere that fills a currently half filled teacher's lounge.

The Green haired teacher in glasses smiles happily as she looks from left to right, observing and admiring the efforts of the many differant IS teachers whom exchange pleasant remarks to each other. The green haired teacher is dressed in the exact cow skinned, cosplay like attire that she wore during the "Cater to Ichika, service battle".

Note: Watch that episode on Youtube, under title season 2 episode 5 if you haven't seen that before. Its complicated for me to describe Maya's party wear so I won't put any details into that!

To think that Maya is comfortable wearing such revealing clothing is unbelivable, but the facts for her comfort could be down to be surrounded by nothing but females at the IS academy, and since the only males at the academy is the dense and friendly Ichika, and the timid and fragile Kestrel, it is probably no surprise that the green haired Maya is so comfortable showing the appeal of her body, despite not aiming for any indecent intentions anyway.

As Maya stands confident with her hands behind neatly placed behind her back, the said woman takes in a very deep breath, closes her eyes before exhaleing and blinking with a warm and very pleasant smile on her face.

As Maya turns her head to the left, the green haired teacher's emerald green eyes become set on a sight that makes her break into a very excited and impressed smile. The teacher's smile opens, showing an over excited look. Walking up towards the green haired teacher dressed in her revealing attire, is non other than the black haired teacher Kaede. The dark haired teacher maintains her usual hair style, but what causes Maya to break into an over joyed facial expression is what Kaede is wearing.

The warm and friendly Kaede wears a dark blue-greenish skirt that has yellow flowers on the bottom right, tied up by a ribbon, and a green kimono underneath. She also wears light brown heels and a darker shade of brown socks. The clothing that Kaede wears is the cosplay outfit to what the anime character 'Dora-tan' wears from the anime 'Etotama'. The only acception here is that Kaede's hair is unaltered, there are no thin framed glasses or deer horns on her head, but never the less Kaede has made a very good effort.

"Kaede! Is that what you're wearing to the party tonight?!... It looks stunning!" - Maya asks with a very friendly and happy expression, the question turning into a joyful comment in a very warm and friendly tone.

Blushing slightly and looking down with a nervous yet pround and small smile, Kaede blinks and pauses before lifting her head, making a small girlish titter and replying back in an equaly friendly manner - "Heh,heh... yeah... well Chifuyu Orimura did say for us to wear festive clothing, and aparently Mizuho said that cosplay was a sighn of festivity so... well... I sort of went with what she said".

Placing her hands together as if she is about to clap, Maya blinks, maintains her friendly smile and replies back almost instantly - "Oh No! Theres no problem at all with what you're wearing! It looks absolutely perfect on you!".

Unable to find her words, the flattered and clearly bashful Kaede can do nothing but give a pleasant bow back in return, an over joyed smile is set upon her face. As Maya acknowledges Kaede's bow with an equaly lady like and kind bow back in return, a thought runs through her mind, the thought focusing on the academy's strict, yet secretly warm hearted librarian Mizuho. Since the day Maya met the dark haired Librarian for the first time, nothing but unease and nerves was felt around the strict and very unfriendly woman, but... once again, since Kestrel came to the academy, some very drastic if slightly unprodicted changes have befallen the inhabitants at the IS academy, and in many ways... these changes have brought some very good ressults.

Maya makes this fact clear as she straightens herself up and looks away from Kaede and towards the lounge wall, in the direction of the academy library one thought rushes through the happy and excited teacher's mind - ( "I never knew that Mizuho could be so thoughtful, needless to say... since Kestrel came here, theres been quite a lot of surprises!" ).

A few moments pass and soon Maya turns her head back round to face Kaede, whom at the moment is observing the other IS academy teachers with an impressed look on her face. Maya can't help but exchange smiles and looks of utter uncontrollabe joy with Kaede as both teachers soon become embroiled in observing the other IS teachers, either helping each other to dress or helping each other pick what to wear for tonight's party.

The sounds of female gossip and chatter fill the air, the room which is filled with mature ladies sounds like a classroom or the cafateria filled with schoolgirls, the ressemblance is uncanny, but then again, the saying is true that Boys will be boys, but at the same time... girls will be girls!

The fact is proven as Maya and Kaede look over towards a pair of female teachers, one of the said teachers wearing a typical grey office suit like uniform with long black hair and green eyes holds up two coat hangers, one coat hanger in each hand. The black haired teacher has a happy yet confused look on her face, the woman is clearly unsure of what she should wear for tonight. Folded neatly on one coat hanger is some summer time clothing, the other coat hanger has a neatly folded kimono.

Across from the black haired teacher stands another school teacher, the other female has short purple hair and brown eyes, the woman wears a black school teacher uniform attire. The purple haired woman places a hand under her chin and holds a confused yet inquisitive look on her face, clearly trying to help her friend choose what to wear for tonight.

Maya and Kaede maintain their smiles as they turn their attention towards a group of as many as five more school teachers. Each sat down on a light green chair each, discussing on what should be done for tonight in regards to the students. Though the teachers are not yet dressed in any other form of clothing, it is clear that the spirit of tonights festivities are not hindering their responsibilities as teachers to the many hundreds of bouncy, if mischievous IS schoolgirls.

"Everyone seems to be fired up for tonight" - Kaede states in a calm and pleasant tone.

Folding her arms and putting on a cheerful expression Maya looks her dark haired colleage in the face and replies in a slightly excited tone "Yeah well, it would be bad for the students if we didn't show that we have a sense of humor aswell as they do, after all its good to let the hair down and enjoy being a free human being isn't it!"

Closing her eyes and nodding for a breif moment, Kaede begins to feel a small vibe in her heart. The black haired teacher begins to feel the first twinges of excitement, though the teachers are going to supervise tonight's festivities, there is going to be plenty of chances for all the staff at the IS academy to blow off some steam, not just by dancing or singing, but by doing various other activities, and deep down in Kaede's heart... the feeling of being a teenage girl has suddenly reapeared.

Ironicaly Maya doesn't fail to notice and can do nothing but place a hand on Kaede's shoulder. Though the sudden feeling of being touched on the shoulder defuses the sudden feeling of reicarnated youth, it quickly reapears as Kaede's eyes make eye contact with the playful looking face of Maya. Though Maya isn't really a councilor... her voice and methods for helping a person is something worth observing as she gently rubs Kaede's shoulder and in happy and careing tone speaks the words - "Its okay, I know... I'm excited too, don't worry... I'll be with you tonight, so don't worry about things getting out of hand okay?!".

Kaede pauses for a moment and then, after a mere few moments, places a hand on top of Maya's resting on top of her right shoulder. Kaede's heart calms down, the feeling of pure relaxment overwhelms the teacher's body. One thing is for sure, Maya's humanitarian personality towards troubled, innocent people is sure as hell something to be impressed by. Even Kaede makes the point evident as she warmly thinks to herself - ( "We'd be lost without Maya, I'm sure glad that I chose to work under her suppervision, she's the closest person I can feel the most comfortable around... apart from my mother and father!" ).

As Kaede glances down at the floor and becomes lost in thought, a sudden realisation hits Maya smack in the face like a custard pie. The green haired teacher's happy face drops and is quickly replaced with surprise and concern. Though Maya's emotions drop to a neutral state, the look on Maya's face is clearly rocked with concern and somewhat nervousness. Thankfully, Maya, being her usual open self... lets her concerns be known as she quickly snaps her focus away from three IS school teachers dressed as shrine maidens and looks at Kaede's turned away face.

As Maya withdraws her hand from Kaede's shoulder the green haired teacher proceedes to speak in a calm, clear yet slightly concerned voice - "OH! I just remembered!... Where's Chifuyu?".

Blinking with a straight and neutral facial expression, Kaede turns to look Maya in the face and in a calm tone speaks out - "Chifuyu Orimura?... She said she wanted to speak to Yui alone for a few minutes, so she went to her office".

"When was this?" - Maya asks, now slightly interested and amazed at Kaede's explination at the absence of the mightiest woman that has ever lived in Japan.

"About two minutes ago" - Kaede replies, clearly at loss as to why Maya is so interested in suddenly being focused on being in Chifuyu's pressance.

"Really... ohh... I wonder why she wants to speak to Yui... alone!" - Maya exclaims, rolling her eyes before looking up with a concerned and pained expression. Feeling slightly left out at not being allowed to be around Chifuyu and be a part of what it is that the said woman is so interested and speaking about. As Maya places her hands on her hips, and shakes her head in a form of showing that her confidence has been slightly deflated, Kaede can do nothing but simply blink, close her eyes and smile awkwardly at the moment.

Thankfuly, the atmosphere lifts as the two teachers are suddenly approached by a pair of IS academy teachers wearing police women uniforms, and in less than 2 seconds the plans for the nights festivities, conversations on dress sense and pleasant atmosphere reapears. Staying that way untill all teachers make their moves and leave the room hell bent on enjoying tonight's partying with their hard worked out students.

- Elsewhere/ Chifuyu's office -

In its usual low lit, cool and slightly frightening atmosphere, Yui sits up straight in a visitors arm chair in a very pleasant and lady like way. While Chifuyu sits behind her desk with arms folded and legs crossed. Normally Yui is full of nerve and curiosity when called forward in a slightly strict and cold manner by Chifuyu Orimura, but today is a differant manner.

The interpreter of the scar faced Israeli youngster at the IS academy is remarkably calm. Her face is a clear example of being calm, her heart is beating at a steady pace and her palms and temple are clear and dry, not a bead of sweat is on the said woman's body.

On the other hand, Yui is full of confidence, the said woman has had a feeling that Chifuyu would want to speak to her alone sooner or later, and to be prepared already is clearly an advantage in cases of when things can suddenly happen without warning, so it clearly pays to be ready for all eventualities.

For the moment, Chifuyu hasn't even made a single hint of what it is she wants to talk about, all she's done so far is speak in a calm yet cold tone, sit in her office chair and stare Yui in the eyes. Not blinking for a single second, and for Yui to feel so comfortable and calm around Chifuyu at a moment like this is purely phenomanal.

A moment passes with nothing but silence being exchanged between the pair, untill after what to Yui seems like an eternity... Chifuyu closes her eyes, lowers her head and lets out a sigh.
As Chifuyu raises her head and looks Yui in the face, the all mighty black haired woman speaks in her usual cold tone - "Okay... I trust you have a good idea of why I brought you here?".

Yui responds instantly by blinking, frowning and in a calm yet annoyed tone speaks her mind's words - "I have a fair idea of why you've brought me here... I take it... it concerns our Kestrel?".

Smiling slightly, Chifuyu leans forward in her arm chair and proceedes to place her elbows on her large wooden desk. Chifuyu's smile disappears as she places her hands together, as her fingers entwine through the gaps between opposite fingers on each hand, Chifuyu pauses before replying back - "Correct...".

At this moment, Yui's heart beat increases slightly, the office like woman's mind remains clear of thoughts, yet her heart is a race with dread and fright. However, Yui has very good reason for feeling this way, when matters concerning Kestrel rise, it is a moment of feeling nervous... and the what Yui is fearing the most at this moment, is that Chifuyu is going to inform her that Kestrel is going to have to stay at a care home or at a church, or that a bunch of people that claim they are the child's parents are going to snatch and take him away from the academy. Kestrel has already made it clear that he does not want to go back to Israel... so if someone is going to try and use force on the child, then its clear that things are going to get messy.

Kestrel himself has made that clear, the kid's IS can't be removed from him because that will kill him, and the kid is clearly powerful for his age, so if its not for the child's safety then concern must be put into account for whomever it is that has got the idea of targeting the said youngster in the first place.

Thankfuly, Yui's rapid heartbeat is eased as Chifuyu leans back and after a moment of moving her arms, pulls out a remote from her desk drawers and proceedes to click a button. Directly on cue, the room glows red as a large holographic 3D image of Kestrel's 'BLACK PHOENIX' IS is suddenly displayed before the two women.

Chifuyu maintains her slightly firm grip on the remote as she leans back in her large leather arm chair, her legs remain crossed. As she speaks, its perfectly clear that any frets or fears that Yui holds are merely just nightmare'ish fantasies, in fact... what Chifuyu is bothered about can be considered far more important when concerning matters at the IS academy.

"This... is what I want to discuss" - Chifuyu speaks in a low and serious tone, clicking yet another button on her remote and causing another red holographic screen to appear direclty to the right and to the side of the first red holographic screen which houses the 3D image of the 'BLACK PHOENIX'. Upon the second 3D holographic screen appears the IS rifle weapon which ressembles the 'Gundam Wing Tallgeese Dober gun'.

Above the 3D holographic image that glows red appears large white letters that stand out in the holographic screen which reads 'PROMETHEUS'. Various words, data readouts appear in listings that roll upwards in smaller transparent boxes bellow the the 3D schemathic light image.

Looking at the data and holographic images being presented before her, Yui is at loss for words, though this isn't the first time that she's seen the data or Kestrel's IS, the sight never fails to amaze her. However, the main reason why Yui is at loss for words is upon taking another look at the data readout on the IS rifle like cannon. Though various data is not related to power readouts or anything important, and is just linked to numbers and messurements, one such description causes Yui to blink in wonder.

The data description mentioning that the 'PROMETHEUS' firing solutions can be either semi-fired or can be fired as a large beam. Though Yui is at the moment oblivious, Chifuyu manages to give Yui the hint of what it is that she is so interested in at the moment.

Leaning back in her chair, her facail image standing out in the bright red glow that engulfs the room. Chifuyu folds her arms yet again and in a calm and very clear tone speaks the words "Don't worry Kestrel won't be fighting any IS battles... one reason is because the term here at the IS academy is over, the second reason is because I don't want other people to see what it is that the kid's IS weaponry could do!".

Lowering her head and letting relief wash over her, Yui's confusion suddenly returns as she lifts up her head to take another look at the 3D presented images. Ironicaly... Yui does not get what it is that Chifuyu is wanting. Which causes the said black ponytailed woman to sweat drop, and lean her head back feeling like she has just been portrayed as a complete idiot.

As Chifuyu regains eye contact with Yui, the said woman places an index finger between her eyes for a moment, before clearing her throat in a light and clear cough and proceeding to speak in a calm and rational manner.

"I'd like to see Kestrel fire a fully charged beam shot, from his... 'Prometheus'". - Chifuyu states in calm and clear manner. Upon hearing Chifuyu's statement, Yui's eyes widen slightly.

Allowing the chance for Chifuyu's words to develop and become clear in her mind, Yui's blood soon runs cold. Fear and nerve spreads throughout every nook and cranny in her body, but the said woman does not tremble. Yui has seen Kestrel fight, and as such has seen Kestrel fire only single semi fired shots from 'Prometheus' during battle. However, the woman is smart enough to acknowledge what data readout's say about Kestrel's IS and its weapons.

If data readout on Kestrel's 'Prometheus' is true, then its a fair assumption that a fully charged beam shot would be totally devastating, maybe even more appocalyptic than that of a nuclear explosion. Though everything is just data words and readout, nothing is determined in real life experiance, but never the less... Yui is a mass of nerves and can clearly and hardly belive a word that is being said to her.

"You are jokeing!?" - Yui virtualy whispers in disbelief as Chifuyu clicks the off button on her remote, letting the red glow of the room suddenly disspear and letting the low light darkness envelop both women. Yui's face is white and pale, her eyes are wide and a bead of cold sweat rolls down her temple, the Japanese woman's heart seems to have stopped and not a single breath goes in or comes out of the said woman's mouth.

Chifuyu sighs, shakes her head but says nothing as she proceedes to open a drawer and put away her remote. The silence that comes from Chifuyu causes Yui to feel extreme levels of sickness at what Chifuyu has just suggested or demanded.

Upon acknowledging Chifuyu's silence Yui speaks again in a near desperate tone - "Chifuyu Orimura... Are you suggesting that we let a traumitised child like Kestrel, unleash the full fury of a weapon that hasn't even been pushed to its full potential even in test firing!?".

Chifuyu lowers her head and closes her eyes for a moment, as she stands, all Chifuyu can do is stare at Yui and speak in a near grim manner - "I wish I was jokeing Yui... I'm sorry".

As Chifuyu folds her arms and glances down and away from Yui, clearly not wanting to make eye contact, Yui reacts on her nerves and raises herself slowly out of her chair as she stands up, the black haired woman does nothing but stare at one of the office walls in disbelief.

It can't be denied, that Kestrel is a remarkable child with a lot of skill and potential at fighting and IS piloting, but at the end of the day, the child is troubled, the child's mind is wounded and broken, and now he is to be used in a test or experiment that may cause reverse effects on not only others but the child himself... that has got to be illegal, but as all rational and intelligent people know... that some big shots or sicko's that belive they are smarter and have more authority over others, would go to unimaginable lengths to get what they want.

Fortuneatley, because of Kestrel's situation concerning his past, IS and age... Kestrel should get away with being used on a lighter scale and because of his skills, he should be able to get himself out of any unpleasant or uncomfortable situations without any real obsticles in his way... but sadly, this factor isn't clear to the two women at the moment, the real matter at hand here is the bizare desire from heads or members of either U.N or govermental IS management.

"Those... sad bastards that we call members of our goverment want an innocent, fragile, ten year old child to be used as an experiment in IS weapon testing!?" - Yui slowly speaks in a low and calm voice, clearly hinted with rage at the sudden demand that must have been weighed down on Chifuyu's shoulders.

Chifuyu casts a surprised glance at Yui upon hearing the woman use vulgar language, but is also surprised at how sharp the said woman's mind is. Though Chifuyu is expected become formal and act with authority, the black ponytailed woman chooses not to use that tactic, the reason for being is because Chifuyu does not approve of this plan anymore than what Yui does.

"Close... very close... but not ALL of the big IS management freaks approve or know of this idea either, Tabane Shinonono has said that she will take management of this wild idea, so there won't be any chance of some sad asses getting their hands on, or demanding the hand over of Kestrel, but... yeah... what you've said fits the picture perfectly". - Chifuyu speaks in a low, careful yet serious tone.

"No... No its not real..." - Yui speaks in a low tone mixed with a slight form of whisper, beginning to pace round and round the large visitors chair. Placing the tips of her fingers to her forehand and placing her other hand on her hip.

The atmosphere becomes sickening, the utter feeling of helpless and hopelessness washes hard over both women, Yui is a perfect example as she removes her hand from her forehead and walks around the vistors arm chair with a distressed look on her face, her vocal tone is a perfect match for the distressed facial image - "This can't be true, this can't be true! I'm telling you... I'm having a nightmare and I'm going to wake up screaming in a moment!".

Sighing to herself, Chifuyu rolls her eyes, looks over towards the paceing Yui and in a calm tone speaks the words - "If it makes things better, you will be allowed to attend, you'll be beside Kestrel at all times, where ever Kestrel goes, you will be allowed to go aswell".

Suddenly freezing and sending over a slightly angered expression over towards Chifuyu, Yui can't help but feel nothing but vast uncontrollable levels of rage. Not directed towards Chifuyu or Kestrel, but mostly towards the people that have been responsible for creating the IS, Kestrel's tormentors and above all else, the people whom made these god annoying IS rules in the first place.

"That's supposed to make things even better is it!?... Look.." - Yui hisses in a near furious tone, pointing an index finger at Chifuyu, but is unfortuneatley cut off by a sudden and rapid knock at the door. Causing both women to shoot over surprised faces towards the large mahogany painted door.

"Who is it!?" - Chifuyu calls out, frowning and heavily annoyed at suddenly being disturbed in the middle of an important conversation.

"Maya!" - Replies the voice of the all too familiar and friendly Maya Yamada from behind the mahogany painted door.

Knowing that having a secret conversation is now dashed, Chifuyu casts a rapid glance over towards Yui, and with the pointing of an index finger proceedes to speak in a strict and serious tone, matched by a cold and serious frown. - "We'll continue this discussion later, in the meantime, not a word gets out okay!?".

Solemnly nodding her head, Yui feels shattered and destroyed... but for now any sourness has to be swallowed, the said woman can not find her voice nor can she speak any words. Knowing that her time with Chifuyu is over, the office woman walks away towards the closed mahogany door. However, before Yui's hand has a chance to come into contact with the door handle,
Chifuyu's voice causes the woman to freeze and turn her body and head to the left in order to make visual contact with the mighty Chifuyu.

As Yui's eyes make contact with the cold and serious stare of Chifuyu's ice cold eyes, Yui is soon at further loss for words as Chifuyu's bitch glare lifts to that of an affectionate sister. Though the look on Chifuyu's face is smug, the woman's tone is warm and surprisngly comforting. - "Yui... listen... trust me... Tabane is a person we can rely on... if anyone can help us out here, she can... in the meantime, lets just do our best for the kid and savor as much positive moments as we can okay?".

Yui remains silent for a few moments, her face is slightly surprised at how comforting Chifuyu just sounded. Yui soon closes her eyes, looks away for a moment, before looking into the eyes of Chifuyu and in a calm and pleasant tone, matched by a small smile replies with the words - "Thanks".

"Oh, just one more thing!" - Chifuyu speaks out rapidly, in a near yelp causing Yui to nearly jump.

"What?" - Yui replies, curious as to what it is that Chifuyu is wanting, as Yui turns her head to look back at the mighty Japanese woman, Yui's eyes widen and a surprised expression appears on her face as she is greeted with the sight of Chifuyu holding a black coat hanger in each hand, upon one coat hanger is the outfit that she wore during the cater to Ichika service battle, while on the other, is a large, white silk dress with a large purple cape, the dress ressembling that of 'Henrietta's' from the anime 'Zero no tsukaima'.

A moment passes with Yui stareing in surprise at Chifuyu and the two forms of clothing that is being presented before her, after blinking a few times, Chifuyu speaks in a questioning tone, matched by a straight and curious expression on her face, giving Yui the chance of seeing Chifuyu's pure if slightly tomboy'ish and off course feminine side.

"What should I wear, the maid outfit or the Queen's dress?" - Chifuyu asks in a calm and curious questioning tone, causing Yui to blink and smile in a form of affection.

Okay everybody, thats the best I can come up with for Chapter 50, in the next chapter, partying starts.
