Hello everyone, it's me the low-end writer AsherValentine. I'm not dead yet.

It's just the chapter took too long to finalize it, since from here on out everything is going to be original plot (with some references of course, but I'm not following the canon). I've been trying to list out every scene I can in my mind and having hard time choosing and find a suitable words to express it, it's just difficult since I'm a not skilled-writer if everyone already know reading this far.

So I ask for help from my discord member to help me up with the vocabulary and stuff, since I always having trouble expressing with writing. So, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Anyway, without further ado. Let's start.

I don't own anything except for OC and gunpla. (PS: New cover picture, but probably won't show it instantly in this website)

Chapter 23: The Calm Before The Storm.

After the two sentinel attacks that occurred this morning on the beach, Yamada-sensei has been assisting the other staff in patching up the injured students from the incident inside the resort inn. It was chaotic and messy inside, with the staff rushing around treating the injured, especially Ichika. Thankfully, there were no casualties, but Yamada-sensei can't help but feel uneasy in this situation. It's as if someone intentionally targeted and launched the assault on them as planned.

Meanwhile... with Chifuyu and Majima.

"So, what's your plan after this?" Majima-sensei asked as she opened a pack of chewing gum and put it in her mouth.

"It might be too soon, but after the students are patched up, we will depart immediately back to the academy before sunset. It's not safe staying here any longer if there's another attack." Chifuyu replied to Majima-sensei.

"True, but the shock that the students suffered today isn't that easy to overcome fast. I'm not surprised if some of the students are refusing to come out." Majima-sensei blew the chewing gum that popped instantly and retracted back to continue chewing.

"I'll tie them up and throw them in the bus rather than wasting time if I have to," Chifuyu replied,

"Hahahahaha! Well, I can carry them like sacks of rice bags if they refuse, but isn't driving a bus and trailer in the open kind of risky?" Majima-sensei throws away the chewing gum into the nearby trash bin.

"We can't help it. This kind of ambush isn't the first time that happened recently and many of our students have gotten injured. The only thing we can do now is to have the students hop on the bus with any active IS's on guard duty. Of course, I'll be on guard duty with the Musha Uchigane." Chifuyu replied. Both her and Majima glace towards the Musha Uchigane's inactive form at the corner. Some curious students were taking a closer look at it, wondering which manufacturer produced it.

"Anyway, got any idea who launched this attack?" Majima-sensei has been trying to ask, but she didn't have the chance before due to all the chaos. She's curious who has the guts to attack so openly like that? Whoever was it is, has to be either a psycho or an idiot, in her opinion.

"No, the previous analysis we've task on the first attack didn't give us any clue on where, what, and who. However, we do know that that machine has a jammer installed that's able to render shields offline. We're unable to analyze it as it's mostly destroyed, probably from a failsafe. So, we don't know anything concrete about the perpetrators." Chifuyu sighed. It is already frustrating that the students attacked twice. Being unable to pinpoint the perpetrator's identity and the technology behind the jammer that jammed the IS shield system is just twisting the dagger even deeper.

"In that case, ain't the perpetrator someone who knows what made the IS core tick? Like a certain SOMEONE over there." Majima-sensei glared in Tabane's direction. She is seemingly witnessing the massive view count on her Livestream previously that most of the comments mentioned about are Chifuyu is back to active duty being an IS pilot? Tabane can't help but giggle at it.

"No, there's no reason for her to destroy her creations like this," Chifuyu replied. She had known Tabane during her school days, and the IS is her life goal. It wouldn't make any sense for Tabane to destroy her work like that and neither would it make sense for her to try discrediting it.

"Although I do not doubt your skill, most of the students with personal IS are injured except for that little sister of that bunny-ear fetish woman. It will be hard to provide cover for an easy target like the bus, though I can use my trailer to cover the rear." Majima-sensei proposed,

"Hmph, we will just tie those brats up and stuff them in the bus or the trailer, we have no time to listen to their arguments and complaints in this situation. How is the Musha Uchigane?" Chifuyu asked,

"Well, the auto repair systems for the nanomachine are almost done. It's just that the armor durability has gone down to around 75% during that fight, so it's taking more time to fully repair than a usual Uchigane." Majima-sensei replied after she head over to the machine to inspect it while kicking away some students in their rear comically for obstructing her way.

"Cheh, what so special about that lame IS? It's just an Uchigane with added weight. Chi-chan, I just happen to have one IS keep in storage, even though is just a test unit, but the firepower is promising~" Tabane spread her arms widely while running a circle around Chifuyu like a child moving like an airplane.

"Huuuh?! Added weight?! Did you just insult my craftmanship like an excessive fat, you rabbit bitch?!" Majima-sensei instantly approached Tabane until she pressed her bust against Tabane's while sparks flying, pissed that someone insulted the pride from one of her masterpieces.

"Enough! We don't have time for this! Tabane, stop with unnecessary bickering! If you want to help, identify those sentinel's origin and device that jammed the IS energy shield instead?!" Chifuyu silenced the argument instantly, making both Majima and Tabane back away from each other. Majima looked away as she growled, while Tabane stick her tongue out before facing Chifuyu.

"~Neh Neh, Chi-chan~! It's much faster and easier to just use my machine and obliterate those tin-can instead of wasting time analyzing them. It could be simply just some faulty system or parts that come from poor maintenance. There's no way that someone can crack open the IS core masterpiece that I created. " Tabane just shrugs, thinking it's a waste of time and effort for her to care such things.

"If you're not interested in helping, then be quiet and stop messing around!" Chifuyu told Tabane sternly, she's not going to entertain one of her shenanigans in this situation.

"~That's kind of mean, Chi-chan~! I was just offering some better solutions rather than embarrassing yourself using that trash. Something similar to 10 years ago." Tabane grins,

"I'll decline," Chifuyu replied instantly with an indifferent tone.

"Eh?" Tabane was surprised at the response she get.

"There's no guarantee that your machine won't get jammed like the others. At least the Musha Uchigane has protective armor that protects the pilot's being exposed to enemy fire when the energy shield is being compromised." Chifuyu walks towards Tabane before she stops in front of her.

"So you've rather use that junk than my offer?" Tabane asked,

"Better than causing another international incident, as you know so well" Chifuyu replied coldly, as the tension continues to rise from both of them. Yamada-sensei rushed over to Chifuyu as she called her out, the former Brunhilde walks away treating as if the tension between her and Tabane didn't exist previously.

"Orimura-sensei, I've just received words from the academy that their currently sending an emergency convoy over here to pick up the students shortly," After hearing Yamada-sensei's words, some of the students and staffs moods brighten up now that the academy had sent help, knowing they're in safe hands now.

"I see. Once they arrive we will be immediately loaded up the heavily injured students first, then the rest follow suit. At least, that solves our transportation problem." Chifuyu said,

Shortly after that, they heard the sound of a propeller approaching nearby. Without taking any risk, Chifuyu embarked outside in the Musha Uchigane in case it's not friendly. As she headed out, she saw three Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey with IS academy emblem in the sky hovering above the beach. Chifuyu remains on guard raising the katana until she saw something drop in front of her out of nowhere, causing the sand to erupt into the air due to the shockwave. When the sand subsided, it revealed Ayase-sensei in her Efreet IS, having a wide grin in front of her.

"Hey there, Orimura-sensei! Expecting something else?" Ayase-sensei asked as she walk towards Chifuyu.

"So the academy send you?" Chifuyu asked as she sheathed back the katana on the hips.

"Well, there's no way the academy is going turn a blind eye when someone is live-streaming the assault with you kicking those tin-can's exhaust pipe. So they dispatch those three aircraft for recovery. Not to mention that Nanase keep on persuading me to come here to check on that Valentine boy." Ayase-sensei explained as the Osprey's opened their loading bay, and several people headed out collecting the remains of the Charioz and Balistoz, while the medical officers and staff assisted in loading up the injured students and students separately. Yamada-sensei and the other staff were assisted by the academy staff to help out the students board the Osprey.

"Well, well if it isn't Nagisa? Still not dying from boredom, ya battle-crazy bitch?" Majima-sensei appeared with her annoyed tone.

"Hah! I should ask you the same, you wanker! What the hell are you doing here, Ginko? Did you wear your old school swimsuit and play on the beach?!" Ayase-sensei retorts in the same response.

"Huuuh?!" Both Ayase-sensei and Majima-sensei glare at each other before both of them grin and laugh. Chifuyu just sighs at the idiotic scene in front of her.

'Even though these two idiots are busy giving an intimidation show to each other just now, who would've thought both of them are close friends.' Chifuyu then saw both Asher and Ichika were in their own stretchers while being carried into the Osprey separately, including Natasha Fair who is still unconscious.

"So how are they?" Ayase-sensei asked Chifuyu when she stood next to her.

"Most of the students suffered some minor injury, while the pilot of the USA is just unconscious. Valentine suffered an injury from shrapnel and blood loss while Orimura suffered a hole in his stomach." Chifuyu replied,

"Welp, at least they lived. Once everyone is on board, we'll head to the academy, while I'm on guard duty of course." Ayase-sensei replied as she looked up and down at Chifuyu in Musha Uchigane.

"What?" Chifuyu asked,

"Oh, nothing, it's just it's been a long time since I've seen you in an IS. I just barely suppressed my desire to clash my blade with you again. After this, can we battle again?! Pretty please!" Ayase-sensei's pupils turns into stars immediately. She never would've thought that the infamous Orimura Chifuyu would return to piloting the IS's again. Although she's curious about the model Chifuyu is using and wanted to start fighting with her, but her duty as a teacher needs to be fulfilled first and get those students to safety. After that, she can always ask Chufuyu for a rematch anytime at the academy.

Chifuyu backed off from the battle junkie female teacher not looking forward to the look in her eyes, while Majima-sensei laughed. "Hah! Reminds me of when I forged the Flamberg for her the first time and she immediately badgered you for multiple fights! Ah, those were some good times. Oh right, I need to move the trailer into the aircraft." Majima-sensei mentioned as she lefts those two alone afterward.

One of the academy staff informed Chifuyu and Ayase-sensei that all the students are safely onboard the Osprey and can launch at any time. The staff inform that both Asher and Ichika were on separate aircraft for continuing treatment to prevent any infection affecting them during the flight, while the other students are on the third Osprey together with Majima-sensei and her trailer with the remnants of the sentinels.

Chifuyu then received a message on her IS that Tabane will be going to the academy by herself first to inspect the sentinels later on, as she was not in the mood to be squeezed in the aircraft with the crowd. Chifuyu sighed decided to ignore Tabane for now, since she can't control her actions anyway. After everyone is on board, the Osprey slowly levitated and took off into the sky with Chifuyu and Ayase-sensei on guard duty flying beside it.

"Hey, Orimura!" Ayase-sensei opened a communication channel towards Chifuyu's IS in the middle of the flight.

"What do you want? If it is something stupid, I'll cut it off. We're in the middle of escorting the students here." Chifuyu replied,

"Just wondering if you're planning on coming out from retirement, now that you have that IS which was built by your lovely little boyfriend?! Did you know that Valentine made it just for you?! Such a romantic person, with piloting skills, talent, intellect, and cute-looking! I'm not surprised if your heart skip for hi-." Before Ayase-sensei finished, she just barely dodge a Naginata thrown by Chifuyu that almost took her head off.

"Cut the chatter or I'll cut you in half just like I did the sentinel!" Ayase-sensei backed off a little after hearing Chifuyu's voice that is seeking death, knowing that the technique displayed by the satellite live where Chifuyu destroyed the Charioz and sliced the beach in half is no joke and have no wish to experience it with her body. Meanwhile, Majima-sensei is currently laughing heavily as she clutches her stomach after eavesdropping on the communication channel in her trailer, noticing that the former Brunhilde is far too fond of her adopted sibling and how Ayase-sensei almost become skewered meat at the hands of Chifuyu.

Chifuyu's face flushed red a little after hearing that Asher made the Musha Uchigane for her. Although, that might not be the case since the reason she heard is that he's building it as a hobby.

'But... is it possible that he thought of me when he built this?' Chifuyu blush deepen as she shook off the thoughts as it isn't the time to think silly thoughts and act like a lovestruck high school girl.

'Maybe I should take Ayase-sensei's offer and beat her up in the arena repetitively, as maybe that would distract me from these silly thoughts.' Chifuyu mentally noted that after this, she would grab Ayase-sensei and use her as a sandbag for her frustrations.

After the three Osprey landed at the IS Academy, the staff wasted no time guiding the injured students in the infirmary, while the students currently in the academy begin to gossip about the incidents. However, the most popular topic is the one about seeing Chifuyu piloting the IS again. The students were excited wondering if Chifuyu would return for the future tournament for the championship?

Meanwhile...Sitting at the student council office president desk, Shirashiki Tatenashi is currently viewing both the footage of the Silver Gospel and the Sentinel incidents at the same time on the holographic monitor on the table with the other student council members. They're currently discussing the problems that the Academy is currently facing and with the students being attacked twice by unknown machines that both are capable of jamming the IS energy shield, they concluded that both incidents are from the same perpetrator.

For Shirashiki Tatenashi, her mind is currently fixated on the footage of Asher fighting against the Silver Gospel since in terms of performance-wise, it is without a doubt that the Silver Gospel surpasses the FC Revive greatly until that strange aircraft attached itself to the IS, greatly improving the performance to equal with the Silver Gospel.

'However, to think that he was able to vastly improve the Rafale Revive's versatility onto the successor all the way to another level. Instead of simply diverse weaponry, each piece of equipment improves the IS performance to a great degree.' Tatenashi opened her handheld fan when the footage changed where Asher duked with the Silver Gospel with their fist.

'I never expected to see a pilot discard their weapons to use their fists to conclude the fight. This is the first time that I've been fascinated by a student at this level.' Tatenashi made a slight grin behind her hand fan. She decides to go see him in the infirmary for a personal 'early check-up' in a certain outfit. Tatenashi wondered what would the boy's response be when he awakes? She can hardly control her amusement.

At the same time, Chifuyu, Yamada-sensei & Majima-sensei are currently in the staff briefing room where a meeting is being held with the rest of the staff regarding the current incidents. The teachers were whispering and murmuring about how the unknown machines were able to sabotage the IS energy shields when scientists all over the world are still studying the IS core with barely any results.

As the teachers were holding the meeting, Charlotte is currently asleep beside Asher's bedside in the infirmary. She's been staying with Asher ever since the boy finished the surgery. At the same time, Asher's finger starts twitching a little and the boy slowly regained consciousness. Charlotte immediately wakens up when she felt a movement from Asher when she's leaning onto the bedside in her sleep.

"Asher! You've awakened! Can you hear me?! Can you recognize me?!" Charlotte begins bombarding the poor boy with questions, realizing afterward that she's in some panic state unintentionally and calms down slightly.

Asher tries to say a word, but still being in a half-asleep state of mind and drowsiness, only allowed him barely muster enough vocal strength to speak for a glass of water as he's currently feeling very thirsty right now. Charlotte assured him that she'll get some water and left the room.

"Urgh, is this the academy? How long was I out?" Asher closed his eyes again, still feeling both drowsy and groggy from god knows how long he's been unconscious. The last thing that he remembered before he became unconscious was fighting with the Silver Gospel and he punch it at the end before slumping on the F-Booster piloted by AIDA.

He heard the door opened but his eyes were still closed. Asher didn't expect Charlotte to return quicker than he thought until he felt someone climb on top of him. Asher's eye's opened instantly only for him to see Tatenashi in a revealing nurse outfit sitting on his torso which caused him to blush madly.

"Hello, Asher-kun~! Are you well?" Tatenashi asked as she gave a smile with her eyes closed.

"!" Asher doesn't have the strength in his vocal to scream at the sudden appearance of the student council president and neither was his body in any shape to do any actions either.

Meanwhile, Charlotte was just on the way back to Asher's room in the infirmary with a water bottle and a plate of food in case he's hungry, since, in the middle of her walk to the cafeteria, she had just realized that since Asher is a bit weak right now, she'll probably have to feed him some water herself.

'Does that mean I-I have to f-f-f-feed him mouth-to-mouth?!' Charlotte immediately blushed with steam puffing out from her head. When she imagines a scene where she's feeding water to Asher with her mouth, she immediately had a nosebleed from her fantasy.

"Huh? Charlotte, what are you doing?" Charlotte immediately snapped out of her fantasy and wipe off her nosebleed in a hurry, as when she turned around, she saw Rin jogging towards her.

"Ah, Rin-san. It's nothing, I'm just trying to get some water and food for Asher-kun. He had just regained consciousness." Charlotte replied as both of them walk together.

"So that penguin finally woke up? Jeez, sleeping so soundly when there's trouble going on." Rin huff as she crosses her arms.

"Don't say that, Rin-san. After all, he did get seriously injured after the Silver Gospel incident concluded." Charlotte reminded Rin as they both remembered the massive pool of blood on the top of the Booster BWS.

As they continue walking, Charlotte and Rin bump into Chifuyu with Kousaka-sensei, Majima-sensei, Ayase-sensei, Yamada-sensei, and a student they do not recognize.

"Ah, Dunois & Huang. Has Valentine regained consciousness?" Chifuyu asked as Charlotte and Rin were both taken aback by the size of the group in front of them. Rin had started to wonder since when has Asher become this popular with ladies? Rin can't help but feel agitated with those thoughts for some reason.

"Oh, don't mind us. We just want to inform that boy about the Musha Uchigane and probably some other stuff." as Majima-sensei points her thumb at the female student who has shoulder-length blue hair with dark red eyes behind her glasses. She also has triangular hair on both sides with yellow leggings.

"Oh, I'm sorry. He's already regained consciousness, we're just bringing some water and food to him right now. " Charlotte replied as the group was heading towards Asher's room in the infirmary.

When they arrived and opened the door, they saw Tatenashi on top of Asher unbuttoning his shirts. Charlotte dropped the water bottle and food, Rin's facial expression turned into Guan Yu, while Chifuyu remain expressionless but her menacing aura starts to materialize (complete with Oni Mask like a certain purple head innkeeper), while both Majima & Ayase-sensei whistle at the scene found it greatly amusing.

"O-Onee-chan! What are you doing?!" The female student with glasses called out to her elder sister, as she blushed from embarrassment until it fogged her glasses, with the same happening to both Yamada & Kousaka-sensei.

"Oh, Kanzashi-chan! You're here?! I just begin nursing him, now that he's awake and all." Tatenashi replied.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Rin materialized her IS right arm and prepared to deliver a punch directly at Asher who's face was pretty much looked as if it was screaming in terror, just before Tatenashi took out the handheld paper fan and parry the fist away.

"~Oh my, that won't do. I can't allow a patient to get hurt again~." Tatenashi unfold the paper fan, as she removed herself from the bed.

"Hahahahaha! Ain't you lucky, little brat?!" Majima-sensei laughed as she step in near Asher's bed.

"It's a rare sight for a bunch of beautiful ladies to be visiting you!" Ayase-sensei grinned,

"While almost receiving my death after I've just woken up? What's going here?" Asher facepalm, wondering what on earth is going on in this situation. All of sudden, something soft pressed against his face on both sides without him knowing as Asher's face was squeezed on both sides by both Ayase & Majima-sensei's breast with an amused expression on their face.

Charlotte & Rin had turned into stone while trying to call out their IS's while wanting to get rid of these two women by brutally murdering them.

"Ok, That's enough you fools! This is the infirmary, stop being a nuisance." Chifuyu shouted while pushing both Ayase-sensei and Majima-sensei away with multiple tick marks on her forehead.

"Heh, you might say that, but we bet you wanted to shove these assets of yours into his face instead of us." Both mischievous teachers grinned as they grab Chifuyu's breast showing Asher some massive cleavage of his step-sister from both sides. Chifuyu immediately grabs both teachers by the back of their heads while brutally shoving them both face-first into a wall turning them into wall decorations with her face blushing red.

"Erm, what just happened?" Asher asked as he try his best to ignore the new wall decorations made by Chifuyu. Kousaka-sensei and Chifuyu explained everything that had happened after the Silver Gospel Incident regarding the Sentinel Incident as they dubbed it by showing the recording.

Asher keeps replaying a certain scene where the Sentinels' appearance and behavior were very similar to both Leo Mobile Suits and Mobile Dolls from the Gundam Wing series. He would ask AIDA for additional information if there is any more regarding this Sentinel as he's currently wearing a deep thinking and worried expression.

"But I didn't expect to see the Musha Uchigane already in action so fast after developing it. By the way, who's that?" Asher asked as he look at Kanzashi in the middle of the group.

"Ah, that's my little sister Kanzashi," Tatenashi replied,

"She's also one of the tech nerds in charge of the Uchigane. She's very intelligent and quick thinking for her age. She got some news update about the Musha Uchigane." Majima-sensei mentioned as she pulled herself and Ayase-sensei from the wall.

"U-Um, Sarashiki Kanzashi. P-Please to meet you. I'm here to inform you that the Mk2 is finished." Kanzashi introduced herself shyly. Asher was surprised to hear that the mk2 is finished on such short notice after the Mk1 was.

"That's pretty amazing, Kanzashi-san. Oh, sorry if it's rude calling your first name in our first meeting as I'm afraid I would confuse you with the Student Council President." Asher smile as he scratches the back of his head feeling a little embarrassed., while Kanzashi blushed from the compliment as well.

"With all that, I would like to have you be the vice-student president while helping out Kanzashi and Majima-sensei with the Musha Uchigane production to replace the current Uchigane as the Academy's training IS," Tatenashi said as she unfold the handheld paper fan.

"Huh? Why would I need to join the student council? And why should I help out since the twin Mushas is already finished?! If you want combat data, there are lots of students who can do that!" Asher replied as he doesn't understand why he needed to join the student council, as the Musha Uchigane is something that he come up with coincidentally on an impulse. He just wanted to have some fun designing and thought that seeing a real-life Musha Gundam look-alike in IS form will be a cool sight.

"Stop shouting, idiot. It's for your safety." Chifuyu sigh,

"You see, Asher-kun. The political powers from around the world are already noticed your achievements against the Silver Gospel and there are words and rumors spreading of your contribution to the Musha Uchigane as well." Kousaka-sensei adjusted her glasses while continuing.

"The thing is that after the Sentinel incident, the unknown automaton machines that have been attacking the Academy along with Orimura-sensei piloting the Musha Uchigane, have caused the world to pay attention to the manufacturer of the IS. Although it was made in the IS Academy, your name as the designer and contributor is already known and being spread around the world. Since the FC Revive and the Musha Uchigane series are the only IS with body armor, it won't take long for people to notice." Kousaka-sensei explained,

"Well, although the news of Ori-chan piloting an IS after retirement is still a no.1 news, the political figure around the world is currently paying deep attention to a male pilot & an IS that's is far less than a year, defeated a US veteran pilot with the latest military prototype IS. Welp, look at the bright side, you've already begun advertising the IS you've been working on and in such a big way as well." Majima-sensei joins in the conversation as she cracks her stiff neck after she's being released from the wall.

"I see. The spy satellite huh? Well, I understand the situation and it seems I have no other choice. So, the student president will be some sort of temporary bodyguard for me? I mean, I can't think of any other reason for me to join the student council otherwise." Asher faces towards Tatenashi.

"Correct! You're quite bright which is excellent! Although, I don't mind having you on my side in a normal situation." Tatenashi gives a wink, causing Rin, Charlotte, and Chifuyu to emit an angry aura.

"Um, us teachers need to get going now. We still have another briefing." Yamada-sensei said,

"Oh, that's right. Come on, Orimura-sensei! Your cute little step-brother needs some rest as well. You can cuddle him later." as Ayase-sensei pushed off the wall she was leaning on while Chifuyu gave a glare to Ayase for that comment while Kousaka & Majima-sensei bowed while Majima-sensei gave a peace sign as she grins as the teachers prepared to leave.

"Wait, How is Ichika doing? The footage shows he's wounded badly." Asher asked,

"You can visit him tomorrow. Until then, get some rest." Chifuyu and the teachers left afterward.

Asher sighed after the teachers left, as he somehow felt very mentally tired for a weird reason. Well, he's currently quite stressed out now that he got the world's attention which is earlier than he expected, though he understands that he can't avoid attracting attention forever. Although, while this at least means Ichika won't be exposed to danger, it still means why he might need to think of a solution to upgrade the Byakushiki if possible to give Ichika more survivability and more preparation in the future since he's still very much a greenhorn. Asher might think of a solution for others as well since they're not accustomed to danger without the energy shield.

"Oh, Asher-kun. Are you thirsty? I bought a water bottle here." Charlotte said as she show the water bottle.

"Oh, thanks. I almost forgot that I'm thirsty. I think there's a glass over the table." Just as Asher finishes his sentence, Tatenashi smacks the cup to the other corner and the innocent glass was broken into tiny pieces. Asher, Charlotte, and Rin just stared at it with their eyes covered by question marks as if trying to digest what on earth is going on?

"Ah, sorry. My hand slipped, teehee." Tatenashi said as she stick out her tongue and gently knocked her head softly.

"Don't screw with me! You've intentionally slapped that glass over with full force! What do you think you're doing?!" Rin shouted with full tick marks on her head,

"Well, now that the glass is gone. Can you be a dear and clean it up?" Tatenashi asked Rin,

"Hah?! Why should I do it?! It's supposed to be your job, especially since your cosplaying as a nurse!" Rin retorts back while pointing her finger at Tatenashi.

"I can't do that right now, as I need to nurse Asher-kun mouth to mouth." Tatenashi gave a sultry kissing gesture.

"As if I let you, you perverted woman!" Rin screamed at the top of her lungs with Charlotte mumbling with a frightful glare that Tatenashi is stealing her role. The nurses and the doctor outside of the room didn't dare to enter as the commotion continued as the teachers left the room with Chifuyu sighing at the idiotic scenario that happening behind them.

After a short briefing, Chifuyu is currently heading towards the infirmary room where Ichika is resting. Chifuyu saw Laura, standing outside of the room, observing the bedridden Ichika with Houki and Cecilia beside him through the window.

"Instructor!" Laura noticed her former instructor and gave a military salute upon Chifuyu's arrival.

"How many times have I told you to stop calling me that? So, how's his condition?" Chifuyu said as she looked at Ichika.

"His vitals are stable and are currently unconscious right now, but it will be a while for him to wake up according to the doctor's word," Laura said,

"I see. Good grief, these two caused me a lot of trouble non-stop." Chifuyu sigh,

"instructor, have we learned anything from the Sentinel wreckage?" Laura asked, hoping that the academy had found any information.

"We have tried everything, but there wasn't a hint left of their origin, much less the identity of the perpetrator. However, don't let your guard down considering the repeated attacks we've been having." Chifuyu replied she had been told that the forensic department had analyzed the wreckage of the Sentinels. All the important information within it had been erased before the destruction.

"Is that so." Laura lowered her head and gaze at the floor beneath her.

"I feel disappointed and disgraced at myself, during the attack I couldn't do anything despite receiving training from the instructor. I-ack!" Laura got smacked in the head by Chifuyu before she's able to finish her sentence.

"Stop being an idiot and have all those annoying thoughts. You're still a brat, leave those troublesome problems to the adult." Chiuyu left Laura after that. Laura rubbed her head as she hisses in pain, she immediately salutes Chifuyu when she disappears from the hallway.

Meanwhile, at Asher's infirmary room….Tatenashi had left early for her student council work, leaving Charlotte, Rin, and Kanzashi inside to accompany the boy. Charlotte and Rin were mostly talking about the Sentinel and the Silver Gospel incident. Asher was told by Charlotte that the Silver Gospel pilot is currently being nursed in the IS Academy as well and she's still unconscious.

Asher was in his thoughts at some point, especially considering the Charioz and the Balistoz shared characteristics that he can't help but wonder if they were variants of the Leo & Tragos from the Gundam Wing series. He can't help but worry about it and he hopes that he's overthinking too much.

'After all, there's no way an automaton or mobile suit from the Gundam Wing series should appear in this world. That's just impossible.' Asher sigh,

"But those weird machines, Sentinels as the Academy calls them? My confidence is seriously dropping into a well. I got beaten twice by them and here I thought I'd gotten better after training myself. I feel like I'm useless against them." Rin moped,

"That's not true, Rin-chan. If it weren't for you cutting off the shield, I don't think Orimura-sensei would've defeated it easily." Charlotte assures Rin that it was no small feat to accomplish on an unknown machine that's able to hijack the IS defense mechanism.

"That's right, that kind of incident is not what school kids like us should experience," Asher said, but he gets a blank look from Charlotte and Rin that causes him to sweatdrop, especially considering he went against both the Scorpioz and the Silver Gospel alone and came out the victor in both engagements.

"But the armor of the Musha Uchigane sure is impressive for the IS, the normal IS chassis and armor plating are usually much lighter due to the energy shield. But it seems the Musha Uchigane armor plating is thicker than on normal IS. I assume that body armor is a reference from the FC Revive?" Kanzashi asked as she adjusted her glasses upwards as it flashes. Asher can't help but sweatdrop at it seeing how the shy girl is suddenly able to speak without stuttering.

"Well, after the first attack, I've always thought about how vulnerable the IS are without the energy shield when the Absolute Defence is jammed, Especially the torso, since it is too exposed with absolutely no armor. It is like asking the enemy 'please hit my body' like a masochist, not to mention it's a completely open weak spot in case a way around the energy shield was ever used. So when I started developing the FC Revive with Charlotte and Kousaka-sensei, I was focusing more on the pilot safety issue than the machine performance, especially when the energy shields become busted like the first incident in case it happened again." Asher tells them one of the reasons he starts developing his IS. If the prototype is a success, he can mass-produce it as a special unit countermeasure against the Sentinel.

"It's a pity that I was out of commission. Would've taken the chance to test the FC Revive against it." Asher sigh,

"Asher-kun, did you forget that Orimura-sensei was using the Musha Uchigane? Also, it seems to have proven itself that the machine can endure some serious punishment from the Sentinel with its armor." Charlotte reminded Asher and was also amazed by Musha Uchigane's performance.

"By the way, one of the Sentinels was using a similar energy weapon as your IS wasn't it? I mean, a blade made of beam energy." Rin asked when she remembered the Charioz using the beam saber after it purged the armor and the heavy lance off of itself.

"No clue, probably someone decided to use it after a long hiatus. I mean I hardly think I'm the first person who has come up with this technology." Asher tried to brush off the topic as he doesn't want to get unnecessary attention.

"Why don't we call it a day? It's getting late now, and Asher-kun needs more rest." Charlotte notifies them as the sun begins to set indicating that it's evening now.

"You're right, laters penguin. Don't try to take advantage of the nurses." Rin said,

"Since when did I become a pervert, idiot panda?" Asher retorts back, causing Rin to wish in her mind to strangle that annoying boy with her own hands, but Charlotte pushes her as she walks to the exit with Kanzashi following suit after she bowed to him, excusing herself out.

"Well then, good night, Asher-kun. Have a good rest, I'll come to visit again tomorrow." Charlotte bid him farewell with her caring expression shown on her face, as she was glad that the boy is not in danger and recovering well.

"Okay, you girls get some rest as well. Don't overdo yourself!" Asher said as the girls left the room. Asher leans his back on the head bed as he stares at the window with a sunset view, thinking back how Charlotte's expression before and her behavior previously.

"Jeez, she didn't even bother to hide it. I don't think I've done anything worthy of her affections. I mean, I've been mostly absorbed in the FC Revive development." Asher talks to himself as he is aware of how Charlotte seems to have feelings for him with all the hints based on her behavior lately.

"What an idiot girl, why bother someone like me? I'm not worthy of her or anyone. After all, I'm..." Asher looks at his bare palms until a static memory appears in his hands where his hands are covered with blood and a bloodied knife on the floor.

Asher pressed his head when he felt a stinging pain in his head as he shut his eyes. He raised his right hand and snapped his finger causing the click sound. Asher took a few heavy breaths until he calmed himself, looked back at his palms again, and took a relief sigh.

"I'm broken," Asher said with a solemn look as if that moment didn't occur. If he didn't meet that man he met during his childhood in his world, he won't be broken like this. He can still clearly remember how he met that man and the words he said with a sadistic smile.

'Don't worry, you'll just help with my art.' Asher immediately slammed the table beside him causing the vase to shake without falling.

"Damn it." Asher cursed himself as the room begin to envelop in darkness as the night had risen.

"Asher, are you alright?" AIDA spoke from the GP Base which was placed on the table near him. He didn't realize that his GP Base was here, he guessed it was placed by Charlotte when she first visited.

"I'm fine, just remembered some bad memories. AIDA can you help me go through my GP Base and look for the gunpla images called Leo mobile suits and compare them to the similarities to the Sentinels? I have a feeling they share some sort of similarity." Asher said,

"Understood, I'll inform you of the results tomorrow. You need proper rest." AIDA said, Asher then compiled and went to sleep. AIDA wasted no time and transferred itself into its mainframe at the underground facility.

In the factory under the IS Academy where AIDA is currently, the AI goes over the recordings and compares them with the data in the GP Base. As the boy suspected, the images do show that the Leo mobile suits have striking similarities between them and the Sentinels. Tracing back the origins of this Leo, AIDA finds that the Leo is from an organization called Organization of the Zodiac (OZ) in the Mobile Suit Gundam Wing anime series.

AIDA recognizes the schematic from Leo and is similar to the abandoned project 10 years ago after compiling all the data and suspected that the original scientist that had gone missing 10 years ago might be involved in the Sentinel.

"Accelerate the development of Fascinator Alpha as a top priority alongside respective BWS. Mobile Suit appearances in the near future are suspected to have a high probability that would endanger the IS Academy. Processing alternative projects for anti-mobile suits arsenal and waiting for development. I won't let anything harm him." AIDA said as the hidden Fascinator Alpha is around 80% completion and will be born not as a statue, but as a guardian for the boy. AIDA also started preparing the alternative project designs showing fighter jets similar to F & SF Booster and a vehicle design of prototype MCV(Mobile Construction Vehicle) considering the Academy resources available.

Meanwhile, Tabane is in the academy in the forensic room alone. She did her own investigations since the others are fools with inferior intelligence, unlike her. When she took out a certain part from the wreckage of the Sentinel, Tabane couldn't help but remember a project from 10 years ago.

"No matter how I look at it, it's similar to that old man's work. I can't believe he's still alive, does this mean he has decided to go against me?" Tabane crushed the parts on her hands.

"If he thinks that using this junk can oppose me, he still hasn't learned his lesson. Although, I am still curious about how he was able to jam the energy shield? There's no way a fool like him is able to crack down on my IS core." Tabane left the room and disappeared into the hallway.

The next morning, Charlotte went to the infirmary room where Asher is. When she entered the door, she had found Asher's bare upper body as he was changing into new hospital wear.

"Uwawawa! Sorry, I didn't know you were changing!" Charlotte blocked her eyes with her hands but also took a peek at the boy from the gap of her fingers as she blushed. She didn't believe that it was possible for a boy's physique to be feminine enough to be mistaken for a girl from the back.

"Don't worry about it, there's nothing embarrassing enough after you saw me in that swimsuit at the beach previously," Asher said, Charlotte then remembers how the boy was wearing the swimsuit that questioned his gender, which she couldn't help but blush madly and steam coming out from her ears from the memory.

"Earth to Charlotte, are you alright?" Asher asked as he waved his hand in front of her.

"Ack! Eh-eerm, oh right! I heard from the nurses that you're better enough that you can walk unsteadily, so I've come to pick you up while helping you into a wheelchair and act as your caretaker! I've already got permission from Orimura-Sensei to be excused so I can be your escort and caretaker for the rest of the day! Rin-chan wanted to come but her class needs her for something else!" Charlotte waved her hand while still flustered from her fantasy. Charlotte then helps Asher into a wheelchair as they leave the infirmary towards the cafeteria. Charlotte is currently enjoying the company, not to mention that it is only the two of them right now. She's a little nervous about it though, she didn't know when or how she first started having affection for the boy, but she didn't mind it.

"Say Charlotte. What do you mean the class needs Rin for something?" Asher asked as he was being pushed in the wheelchair by Charlotte.

"Ah, it's about the school festival. The academy is going to hold the festival soon, so everyone is preparing for it." Charlotte replied,

"Is that so? I'd completely forgotten about it with all the events that have been happening so fast recently. So, has our class decided what to do?" Asher asked,

"For now we have two options, a drama play featuring a classic prince and princess and another one will be a maid cafe," Charlotte replied,

"Awesome, I'll make sure to take sick leave when the time comes. I'm definitely not going to be a princess or being forced to wear a maid outfit." Asher said,

"Eh? Wait! But you'll look cute with it! I-I mean I would've wanted to play like a prince and also with you wearing the maid outfit will no doubt catch the eye of everyone!" Charlotte said as she starts fantasizing especially with her as the prince and Asher as the princess with her going for the kiss and blushing madly.

"Charlotte-san, I can see your thoughts as clear as a holographic monitor, and what kind of universe exists where a guy would accept being cute in a feminine way?" Asher gives a straight jab at Charlotte at his words.

"By the way, is this the right time to have a school festival after what happened?" Asher asked,

"I think it is the perfect time so that the students, especially in our class, can forget about the incident, don't you agree?" Charlotte asked,

"I guess so." Asher replied, 'If only there are some things that are easy to forget.'

"By the way, how is Ichika? Did you visit him?" Asher asked,

"I did go but he's still unconscious based on what Laura-chan told me. But he's stable, so there's nothing to worry about." Charlotte said,

"I guess I'll visit him after school," Asher said, as the two finished their conversation just in time as they were both approaching the cafeteria. As soon as they reached the cafeteria that was mostly empty due to most of the student's faculty being in class however, all the holographic TVs and monitors started to suddenly experience glitching. The sudden glitch wasn't just happening in the cafeteria, but to all the monitor devices in the entire school.

"What the..." Asher started questioning at the strange scene before all the monitors suddenly switched to another channel showing an older man wearing a professor lab coat who looks disturbingly familiar to Asher….

Meanwhile, at the OZ headquarters where Doctor T is currently at…..The old scientist stood in front of the camera where the subordinates were preparing for a live feed to show the world.

"At long last, the time has come." Doctor T mumbled,

"Sir, we're ready!" One of the soldiers reported. Doctor T gives a gesture to start the camera. Soon after that, all communication devices all over the world were hijacked and showed doctor T with several OZ soldiers lining up behind him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, sorry for disturbing your daily life. But I have some announcements to make." Doctor T's face is shown all over the world. The intelligence ministry department from all around the world is in the panic of the sudden live feed.

"My name is Doctor T, and we are the Organization of Zodiac (Asher froze in horror when that particular name was aired out). The reason for this announcement is to inform the world of the real truth of Infinite Stratos. As for what exactly this real truth is, we would have to go back to the time of both when the Infinite Stratos was first introduced and how exactly it was even able to bring itself into the open in the first place.

As the people of Earth know, the Infinite Stratos showed up out of the blue with firepower and technology well beyond anything Earth has faced before. What you may not know is that much of that tech wasn't made directly by Tabane but actually stolen by her!" (Many females decry this calling Doctor T a liar while some like Majima narrowed their eyes starting to understand where this direction was going).

Doctor T continued his speech with several images of a huge war machine that looks like a knight with some similarities sharing with the White Knight, "I was once head of a research project for a mechanized humanoid for space exploration. A machine that was meant to spire humans into space and allow us to expand beyond the depths of space. It was my masterpiece where the project name for it was the Prototype Leo or as my own personal name 'the Tallgeese'. This particular project had also competed with the original proposal of the Infinite Stratos which if you were told in history, was rejected as the proposal given out by Tabane was thrown out the door as it was thought to be a half Sci-Fi/half Fantasy delusional idea by any sponsors or investors that read the thing and my project was greenlit for a demonstration testing.

This was however when things started spiraling down as my project was mysteriously hacked by an unknown hacker and caused it to go out of control! The hacker was able to hack the Tallgeese despite it having the most secure military-grade firewall software and its existence was kept as a close confidential secret until the demonstration was to happen! It was because of this event where my name was thrown in the mud and I lost my chance to push humanity past its cradle of Earth. Now, doesn't this scenario sound VERY familiar? Such as an event where a certain weapon suddenly popped out of nowhere after a MYSTERIOUS HACKER suddenly hacked thousands of nuclear missiles and targeted a location? How coincidental is it that many of the technologies that I painstakingly created were actually used in that abomination!?" Doctor T shouted as both the Tallgeese and White Knight was put side by side with the world seeing various similarities between each other such as the knight-looking along with the sword and particle gun of the White Knight appearing to be directly lifted and copied from the Tallgeese with the only difference being in appearance. While some people like Houki were in disbelief, Chifuyu was shown in both disbelief and with a betrayal look that the armor that Tabane gave her was mostly stolen technology from someone else with both her respect and trust in Tabane taking a drastic hit.

As Doctor T continued his speech which was basically turned into a rant "If that wasn't the only terrible thing she has done, she has also twisted my creation into the current mess of the world as instead of taking responsibility for her creation, what has she done with it but cause mayhem and chaos in this world with by turning it into a weapon and creating a situation that could easily turn into a war of utter proportion! Where both males and females are being separated into those who don't and those who can are inequality and racism have skyrocketed many times over only that instead of color, it turns it into a gender war! Where males are being treated as slaves, servants, and lower beings simply because Tabane deliberately made it that only females can pilot IS's for their own twisted amusement! Time and time again in human history has shown where a situation like this would only cause war and chaos where a revolution would inevitably happen yet what does Tabane does but laugh at the prospect of a war that could possibly cause humans to be pushed to the brink of extinction!?"

"This situation cannot continue! This is where we, the Organization of the Zodiac, would be the vanguard to free humanity from the plague that is Tabane's abominations that would bring down humanity, we would destroy all of that fraud's so-called 'masterpiece' till there is not a scrap left to harm the world!" Doctor T shouted while the rest of the soldiers in the background roared in approval while the rest of the world was shocked by this as it sounds more like a war has been declared against the entire world!

"Now I imagine many of the people watching this have disbeliefs of us being capable of doing this but don't worry, we very much have the army to do such a stunt. In fact, IS Academy has been the target of that strength with them barely surviving the appetizer!" both the personnel of IS Academy and the rest of the world realized from those words that the Sentinel attacks were a part of OZ. Doctor T starts winding up the final part of his declaration.

"To really show the effect of how devastating our power is, we would be giving IS Academy a good taste of our real power by having them act as the main guests of honor for the demonstration of our mobile suits and mobile dolls! We would show this world how powerful we are as well as return our planet to its proper and rightful order! As for the people of IS Academy, if you are naively believing that those disabling energy shields are the only thing you need to worry about, you are in for a nasty surprise! I hope everyone watching is going to enjoy the show!" As the screen then switched to showing three carriers that suddenly appeared out of nowhere while IS Academy just received from the radar that three airborne transport planes were just shown appearing on radar out of nowhere, with the televised events having the transports open their cargo doors to show multiple giant robots, all armed to the teeth for war, as Asher looked horrified at the flight Leo's and Aries that coming out of the transports.

When all the suits were outside, a total of 9 Aries and 6 flight Leo's were shown in the skies as all 15 mobile suits pushed their thrusters to the limit with IS Academy being the unfortunate target. The storm has come for IS Academy, and the possibility of surviving that storm lays in the hands of one teenager and artificial intelligence that are about to evolve to the next level.

And...done!

Ok, probably short for someone, but I've done my best. I hope some of you enjoy this what you called it, twist? I don't know. Let me know what you think so far?

Now that Doctor T mobile suits and doll emerges, I don't have to explain what comes next. :v

Anyway, I can't think of any possible question for this chapter so I leave it here. Unless if asking why Wing series mix in because I like Wing series and find it perfect for the story.

Also, this is from my Discord member. Some sort of song-fic as they called it with a little bit of spoiler ahead (you can choose not to read if don't like small spoiler or song-fic). He request me to show it so here it is.

That's it for now, hope you enjoy the chapter/story. Until next time, ciao.

(Instrumental musics plays out) Both Asher and the Fascinator Alpha are closeup at the camera as the camera slowly show them both at full view while constantly switching back and forth while also showing the cockpit of the Fascinator Alpha, finally showing Asher looking at the camera solemnly which a full view of Ryujin Island (Formerly IS Academy) was shown.

Onto two split camera focus, both Rin and Kanzashi are standing solemnly at a destroyed city in their home countries while it is snowing, both with their eyes closed as they notice a worn panda/teddy bear toy on the ground and kneel down to brush off the snow. As both of them stare at the toy, both of them give off a sad smile.

Natasha was standing in a burning factory sector, Tatenashi was standing with both katanas unsheathed at a destroyed enemy airport, Chifuyu was standing in a forest surrounded by burning Leo wrecks, Charlotte was standing in a desert in the night with other RONIN machines standing with her as they all stare solemnly at the skies. With the camera panning out to both Doc T and Tabane smiling while glaring at each other.

Asher in his Fascinator Alpha with his SF-Booster avoided all the gunfire shot at him while heading straight to the frontlines, a man with a bloodthirsty grin unsheathed his Tallgeese's beam saber as he charges towards Asher while missing with his beam slash as the Fascinator dodges it.

As Fascinator unleashes his own beam saber, a second slash cuts his arm off forcing him to backoff while the Tallgeese follows it up with a shot from his dober gun. As Asher backs off while the Fascinator Alpha is pelted by a barrage of bullets and missiles, Asher unleashes his own Full Burst Mode with a swarm of beam fire and DRAGOON fire as Ryujin Island was shown in the distance, before all five founding members of RONIN was shown standing in a deserted city
