A new threat is showing itself. They are known as Rogue Nirvana, an organization that wants to bring down the I.S. and bring about equality. The problem is that they take more aggressive methods for it. Ichika and Davis have decided to take the fight to a squadron. The foot soldiers weren't much, but the ones calling the shot might be a different challenge.

"Incoming!" Davis called as he crashed into some of them again and sent them flying. He was taking them down easily, but they weren't giving up. The resolve these members of Rogue Nirvana are strong as they all tried to get back up. "These guys are persistent!"

"You said it." Ichika claimed. "They just won't give up because they think they're fighting for a noble cause." They might have more of a fight to them than they thought. It certainly didn't help when the enemy was pulling out the grenades. "Davis, EMP grenades! Move out of the way!"

"Oh boy!" Davis said as he remembers those. Some of them were thrown and detonated, but Ichika and Davis did their best to try and avoid the waves that were being released.

"Careful, Davis!" Ichika called as they tried to stay out of reach of the grenades. "Those pulses don't go far, but a whole bunch of them together is a real problem!"

"I got it!" Davis said as he was flying around. He landed down and was getting ready to attack again. However, he didn't get the chance to. Mako showed up and smashed his palm against the bare part of Davis' I.S. Davis really felt that impact of that hit.

"It's certainly a surprise that there's another male pilot out there." Mako said. "Too bad there aren't more like you guys out there. This whole thing would have been different, but if you're against us, we have to crush you."

"Mako is in!"

"He's one strong guy and a great fighter! Let's see this traitor of his gender deal with him!"

'Damn...' Davis thought as he held his gut. 'If it weren't for my shield, that could have been a whole lot worse.' Davis could see this one was stronger than the average soldiers. Mako tried attacking him again, but Davis moved out of the way and avoided him.

"You might have a fancy machine, but there are some clear openings in that armor of yours." Mako pointed out. "It doesn't matter if I have one of those or not. Strike at the enemy's weak spots and they're sure to fall."

"Sounds like you thought this whole thing out." Davis said as he held out his sword and got himself ready for what might come next. "I'm guessing I'm gonna have to fight you a little more serious than those other fools you've got."

"That's right. I'll show you the true terror of Rogue Nirvana!" Mako shouted as he charged right at him to attack again, but Davis flew to the side and was able to get behind him.

"Too bad you're a little slow." Davis said. He didn't hold anything back as he swung his sword and did some damage to Mako. Mako was sent flying and crashed into a couple trees with him instantly taken down. "That was a little easier than I thought, but all that kendo stuff the girls showed me is really paying off."

"No way..."

"I can't believe he beat Mako like that!" The soldiers were a little shaken that one of the top guys were beaten so easily.

"Who's next?" Davis said as he clearly had them overpowered and was going to keep fighting until they stopped this. Ichika was doing his best to fight them off as well. He fired away at the soldiers and took them down. He landed down on the ground and got himself ready.

"Over here, Orimura!" He turned around and saw Shiroshi coming at him. Shiroshi jumped at him and pulled out his sword-like weapon and tried to attack him, but Ichika used Byakushiki and stopped it. When that happened, Shiroshi jumped away from him. "I knew you couldn't be trusted."

"Yeah, yeah. You were right." Ichika humored. "Either way, this is going to stop and we'll be the ones to stop it!" Ichika swung Byakushiki at him, but Shiroshi was able to move out of the way. "I heard you were quite the swordsman."

"You're about to find out." Shiroshi said as he held out his weapon and got ready to attack again. "Don't think that just because you're standing taller than me means you will be the victor."

"You really think that little sword is going to help you against me?" Ichika questioned.

"Yes for this is no ordinary sword." Shiroshi said as he pressed a button. When that happened, electricity was coursing through the blade. He swung his weapon and smashed it against Ichika's leg. When that happened, Ichika got a pretty good shock from it and had to back away from him. He tried again, but Ichika flew up in the air to stay out of his reach. However, the soldiers fired multiple shots and tried to keep Ichika from going anywhere. "That's good men! Don't let him in the sky!"

"I'm not gonna fall that easily, Shiroshi!" Ichika said.

"Good! You're punishment has come!" Shiroshi said as he leaped at Ichika and tried attacking him again, but Ichika used Byakushiki to block him. "You rely too much on this machinery! You can't beat me with it!"

"Think again!" Ichika said as he pulled off some fancy moves himself and was able to knock Shiroshi's weapon out of his hands. When that happened, Ichika gathered a small amount of energy in his left hand and smashed it against Shiroshi with him instantly knocked out as well.

"That guy beat Shiroshi too?!"

"You've got to be kidding me! This isn't fair!" It wasn't looking good for these guys at all. Gerome was the only commander left standing now.

"This didn't go quite as I thought." Gerome said. "It would seem that these two are stronger than we anticipated. Certainly stronger than the average pilot. "In that case..." He was about to reach for something, but he stopped when he felt something poke him in the back of his head.

"I wouldn't if I were you." Chifuyu arrived on the scene and had an actual gun pointed at Gerome. "I'm afraid it's over. Your best just wasn't good enough."

"The infamous Chifuyu Orimura, I presume. I've heard a lot about you." Gerome said. "I am rather perplexed. You're using a gun rather than one of your precious I.S. units?"

"You're about equality right? I thought I show you a little honor and fight you on even grounds." Chifuyu said.

"That's actually insulting. It shows you don't take us serious." Gerome complained.

"Well, from what I heard, you certainly do seem to have potential to be a serious threat." Chifuyu said. "It's also a little hard seeing as how you guys have remained in the shadows until now."

"Yes, but we are making our move now!" Gerome said as he acted quickly and was able to knock the gun out of the way. He tried kicking Chifuyu back, but she ducked down and avoided him.

"Wrong target." Gerome looked behind Chifuyu and saw Cecilia with her lasers ready to fire. She fired a few rounds and blasted Gerome enough to have him incapacitated. He was knocked down and that took care of the leading general. That caused the soldiers to loose some morale. It didn't take long for the girls to show up. When they did, all the soldiers soon fell and this threat was stopped...for now at least.

"What's the big idea taking off without us?" Kimi said as they rounded up all of those involved. "We wanted in on the action two, but you two big dummies just had to had all the fun for yourselves!"

"Sorry, but I only chased after him to get some answers." Davis said as he tried putting all the blame on Ichika.

"That reminds me..." Houki said. Without warning, she stomped down on Ichika's foot with him screaming in pain. "That's for what you put us through!"

"I'm sorry, but it was an undercover mission." Ichika said.

"That's just you getting off easy." Rin said. Ichika had a look and saw all of his friends were giving off dark and angry auras for how he was lately. Ichika is in great danger.

"Ironic. While we're happy about your return, they're angry with him." Serene said as she stood with Davis. The five girls were set to unleash their rage on him, but they didn't get the chance. They all heard something flying in the sky and saw it landed down with it being Marinda in her I.S.: Tartarus. When she landed down, she deactivated her I.S. to speak with them.

"Hey, sis! Long time no see!" Davis called as he put his arm around his twin sister, but she pushed him back by painfully pushing his head back.

"I don't do hugs. Don't put your arms around me." Marinda said.

"Sorry." Davis said as he backed away.

"It looks like everything was taken care of here." Marinda said.

"Yeah. You were worried about these guys? This was really nothing." Davis said.

"It seemed like that because this was only a small division. There are many more of them out there." Marinda said as she knows this is far from over. "Rogue Nirvana is stationed all around the world, but the information we get from these guys will be most useful. Ichika Orimura!"

"Yes!" Ichika said.

"During your time in Rogue Nirvana, did you learn anything that might be useful?" Marinda questioned.

"I actually did." Ichika claimed. "While I was in there, I actually learned the names of the guys who are in charge of the whole thing." That is indeed useful. Knowing who the leaders are will allow them to know who to look for. "There are five of them in total. Four of them are part of an elite team that is known as the Four Heavenly Kings, and the leader is named...Sakyo Qilin."

Rogue Nirvana

"Unacceptable!" One man shouted as he smashed his fist against a table. "The attack failed and most of it was done by just two I.S. units!" This man was a big one with some muscles. He had metal boots and wore an all black outfit with a furry color around his neck and had spikes on his shoulders and a silver stripe running down his stripe. He also had black hair in a scisscor-cut style. Four Heavenly King: Iratin Genbu "How could this have happened?!"

"Calm down. It's not something you should be getting so worked up about." The next one had blonde hair tied back. He wore a white outfit with white leg braces and armor over his chest with red roses placed on the armor. Four Heavenly King: Byako Shirotora. "It's just a mild setback."

"That might be, but this is my fault. That division was under my control." This one had sandy brown hair with a mullet-like style that went down to his shoulders. He wore a white jacket with it reaching down to his knees with him having a black collar and cuffs. He also wore a blue suit underneath. Four Heavenly King: Seyu Ryudoragon. "I humbly apologize for this. If anything Shirotora, you should be upset about this yourself, but your nonchalant."

"What a surprise. The turtle, tiger, and dragon messed up." The last one had brown hair in spikes. He wore a red jacket with a yellow top with their being a bird-like shape on his back. He also had black leather pants with boots. He also carried a sword with him. Four Heavenly King: Senka Suzaku. "Lord Qilin, what do you think of all this?"

"I say we got some useful information out of this." They all turned to the one in charge as he watched over video evidence that was caught. This man had perfectly combed black hair. He wore white pants and navy blue dress shoes with the top looking formal. It had a high color with a navy blue thin stripe running down the center and the shoulders with it circling around them and the edges of the top was blue as well. He also held a sheathed sword like a cane. "I never would have thought there were actually two male pilots. However, this will not deter us. Every step we take gets us closer and closer. We will not let this deter us. If they want a fight, we will give them one. I already have plans set in motion. Our time to strike is here."

"Yes, Lord Qilin." The four of them said as they bowed to him like he was a loyal king. This enemy is making it's move and it seems like they have thought it out.

...

I.S. Academy

"I'm telling you, Kari. It's going to get nuts around here." Davis said as he was back on the island, the sun was going down, and he was telling Kari everything that was going on over the fun.

"Sounds like you're going to have a real fight on your hands." Kari said. "Does this mean you're going back to the academy?"

"Well, I'm going to be needed here for a long time." Davis said as he sat on a bed. "Honestly, I'm actually glad to be back. I miss you and the others, but I like being here."

"I had a feeling this might happen." Kari said. When she said that, it was when a computer came on. Davis took a look at it and out came Veemon with a bag of Davis' stuff.

"Davis! We're really back!" Veemon said with Davis happy to see all of this.

"You really do know me." Davis said. "Kari, I really appreciate you understanding, but are you sure you're okay with all of this?"

"Of course. I just wish you would have said something to me sooner about this." Kari said.

"I know, and I'm sorry." Davis said. "You're still my girl. I just had a hard time, but I feel a lot better now. I didn't say anything because I didn't think you would understand, but I should have opened up."

"So, are you going to like being back, going back into some dangerous fight?" Kari said.

"You bet. I can't just turn away when they need help." Davis said. Kari really does understand. She knows Davis and knows that his heart wants to be a part of this fight. "Oh, and one other thing. You should have seen the crazy stuff that was going on when I got a glimpse of the girls' fantasies. They were having me do some crazy stuff." That part he should just kept quiet. "Hey, are you really okay with this? I don't want to do anything to upset you."

"Yeah. Davis, the world needs you. I can't be the reason you don't do what you can." Kari said. "We'll talk again soon." With that she ended the call. Once the call was over, Davis looked to the sky and smiled. He's back and he's ready for whatever this new enemy might try.

...

Davis: It feels good to be back at the academy. I just wish it was under a better occasion. Rogue Nirvana is out there, and it looks like they're already making another move. They have the guts to come our own home turf. We're not letting them getaway, but it looks like they came prepared for this.

Next Time: The Tiger and The Dragon

These guys are confident, but we can take them.
