Hey, Seiichi here! I decided that this two-shot turns into a story! So, here are the guidelines to it- Ichika is a legend of sorts, which will be shown here, and Phantom Task aren't going to have a good time. Madoka will be redeemed, by Ichika's and Chifuyu's hands, once he learns of his origins, and the canon harem girls, except maybe Tatenashi (you tell me who should come, but it's her, Kanzashi or one of the first five), will be excluded- I'm going with an incest based four-fivesome with three siblings. I'll leave the last one to your imagination. Onward!

Ichika wanted to let her know about himself, but it needed time, their home and one more person. So he did the reasonable thing.

"Chifuyu-nee, I'll gladly tell you everything, but we'll have to spread this out over a week, so d'you think you could arrange a week off and for Taba-nee to join us at home? She needs to know my capabilities as well, you see." he added, seeing her grimace.

A day ago, she would've waited for summer. Knowing his broken psyche though, she was not about to refuse him. Though calling Tabane was an interesting requirement. "No, that's OK with me. And arranging it is no problem, but remedial classes will be a bit of a bitch."

"I told you I'm holding back on my brain, right? I finished the entire first year cirriculum as soon as I got it, so as long as you arrange for the week off, you don't need to worry about anything else." He retorted playfully, momentarily returning to the Ichika she knew. She also felt something new in her heart, which was indescribably warm and fuzzy, and applied to all that she knew and would know about him.

Mentally noting to analyze these new feelings later, she acquiesed to the request, and contacted the school authorities. Ichika contacted Tabane Shinonono for her, telling her to join them or 'face the consequences'. That put a bit of foreboding in Chifuyu's mind, and that warm feeling made her want to gut Tabane for some unknown reason, but she decided to find out later.

At the Orimura Residence, Chifuyu was wondering if she should tell Ichika of the Phantom Task and the Orimura clan's ideas. Knowing the slightly deranged him that she saw, a bit of forewarning him would work in the positive, and she now knew that he could take it.

She was scared that Ichika would hate her for what she was going to tell him though, and that made that warm feeling really tell her not to tell him. She decides that both Tabane and Ichika needed to know. Maybe Ichika would put his guard up and hide himself even better than before today.

At approximately 12:30 pm, Tabane Shinonono arrived and made Chifuyu get a headache. As for why, anyone would get one after seeing a large metal carrot destroy his/her home garden. She greeted them in her usual nonsensical way and then got her head Iron Claw'd by Chifuyu, as if it was part of nature's plan.

It probably was.

A hearty lunch later ("Ikkun, Taba-nee wants more curry" was a vehemently rejected request from the almost insane creator of the IS), Ichika, Chifuyu and Tabane were seated on a couch in the living room. Tabane started the conversation with a demand, having learnt of their morning conversation during lunch.

"So, what did Ikkun want me here for? A week is something I don't spare that easily, yanno. Taba-nee was working on something special for Houki-chan!" Before she could continue though, Chifuyu raised her hand

"Before Ichika says anything, there is something I have to talk about. Since our conversation this morning, I've been thinking about your safety a lot more. With what I saw, I think you deserve to know. Tabane here doesn't know of this as well, but just hear me out. It's about our past, Ichika. We weren't abandoned, we ran away from our family, and for excellent reason too. You don't remember because you were hit while we were escaping..."

And thus began the tale of an extremist clan known as the Orimura clan, which was quite twisted in its own right. The Orimura clan was an extremely well-respected clan, which went to their heads. They started plotting for something and began putting things together during the Warring States Period of Japan. To do so, they needed to disappear. So they faded slowly into oblivion, but kept plotting. When genetic manipulation became a possibility they started experimenting with it. And things got worse when the experiments started to get results. Their plans were accelerated by centuries.

The pinnacle of this plan the was creation of Phantom Task, an organization of extremely skilled assassins and warriors. Their best operative to this day was one Chifuyu Orimura. Her physical stats were off the charts, abnormal by human standards, and she was an efficient killer. However, her one flaw was her ability to love. The clan, seeing her skill, decided to clone her and train her and said clones to be loyal to them. The cloning showed results when she was 8, and Chifuyu felt attached to the older of the two successful clones, while the younger clone was still in development.

The older clone was Ichika. Now curious about their clan's objective, she searched the headquarters. What she found made her enraged. She was not happy with their plans for world domination, and decided to escape. By this time, Ichika was a healthy one-year-old baby. Finding herself unable to resist, she decided to take him with her.

She proceeded to raid the lab holding Ichika and killed everyone in her way. She grabbed him and left, leaving the younger clone, which was close to completion alone (she couldn't bring herself to destroy it or afford to bring it along- how would she care for an embryo 7 months in development?) and then left.

Since then, she as considered Ichika her brother, and raised him as such. They had no official records (clones and genetic experiments of the clan never did) and so, were able to be registered as orphans that escaped the government's notice. The abandonment story was something Chifuyu came up with to deflect the clan. It mostly succeeded, till he was kidnapped by Phantom Task. Chifuyu knew that their past had caught up to them, and so strove to protect them.

Tabane's expression grew darker as the tale was told, until all signs of nonsensical behaviour had disappeared. With such people out there, her beloved creations would not be excluded from the clan's plan.

"Chii-chan, I'm sorry that you had to go through that, but you should've told me earlier. I'm not sure Ikkun feels happy to have his past concealed, right... Ikkun? IKKUN!?" she screamed at the end because Ichika's expression scared her. Seeing as she wasn't scared in the least of Chifuyu, that was saying something.

Even Chifuyu was a bit unnerved by his expression. It would seem as if Ichika was angry, but at what she didn't know. Venturing to ask, she said "Ichika, what's wrong? Was it too much to tell you? Please respond, Ichika, you're worrying me!"

Ichika was considering the ramifications of what his sister had just told him. His instincts told him to keep his secret for a day longer, but he delayed it, because his promise to her took precedence, and the need to tell her just jumped from 'to calm her and fulfill my need' level to 'CRITICAL SITUATION! IMMEDIATE REVEAL, ALL CONSEQUENCES BE DAMNED!' level.

Knowing that this was going to hurt, he decided. "The two of you need to follow me, NOW! Chifuyu-nee, thanks for telling me the truth. The me before the kidnapping wouldn'tve been capable of accepting it, but the me now is a different story. I was planning on a full tour of the house as I've made it, but for now, secrets are going to be spilt left and right. Stay close, both of you." His words were normal, but his tone was enough to tell both ladies that going against him was not in their best interests.

Ichika led them to the basement[1], where a steel trapdoor was seen. He immediately said "Open, bypass security, grant full access to Chifuyu Orimura and Tabane Shinonono NOW!" before asking them to register their handprints and their irises. They climbed down it to see the biggest set of computers in the world. Tabane wanted to immediately work on it, but Chifuyu, recognizing the place, stopped her. Just as she turned to ask Ichika why they were at his place, she was shocked.

Standing there was Ichika alright, but he was different. He wore a mask, for one. An all too familiar fox mask. Tabane turned to ask Ichika where they were when she saw him and also stopped. Both their brains shut down.

Ichika just said "Welcome to The Armageddon. For the second time, Chifuyu-nee, and for the first time, Taba-nee. We are the only ones who can now enter this realm freely."

"Ichika, what's the meaning of this? Do you work for Ragnarok? Why is his base under our home? Did you learn about computers? Is that your special skill?"

"Taba-nee can do much better than that. ARE you Ragnarok?" Tabane completely went above Chifuyu, receiving a glare in response. Ichika just laughed in response.

"Good guess, Taba-nee. Yes, I am Ragnarok, humble hacker at your service. By the way, that unmanned IS wasn't my idea- those theories are baseless rumors. Still, it was a shock when you came to me about hacking the IS Academy's database to delete all kinds of data about me. I think you know why now. Better protection and- OOF!" The tackle hug was entirely new region.

Chifuyu was even more proud of her brother, and her ability to express it was now unleashed. A tackle hug worthy of Tabane (which made Tabane jealous- Ichika easily dodged her when she arrived earlier) was initiated, with Ichika being the recipient. He who had prepared for fear, doesn't expect acceptance, as the saying goes.
