This is going to be a trip again into memory lane.
I think you can say it is largely due to the requester and his love for the fic that I have done here.
A large amount of lore knowledge of Infinite Stratos Truth Be Told would be required to enjoy this fic.

In life, there were many mysteries. Things that couldn't be explained. Or things that weren't confirmed.
Things like aliens. What were things that came from beyond?
For four beings, they found an earth. Another one. They were guided and burdened with incredible guilt.
"For evil to triumph, there is one thing needed. Good men have to do nothing." A quote said on earth but it could be found back into space. For four giants, they found the Earth. Their bodies were destroyed but their mind wasn't. Their spirit wasn't.
Their inaction caused the destruction of their own Earth. But now, after traveling for eons and lightyears, they found another planet.
A planet that was habited by an unspeakable evil. Monsters in human skin. Beings that were closer to pure evil. Committing the most despicable acts imaginable. They were sent by their superior. To see how their old friends were doing.
Those old friends were wiped away.
But like them, they weren't gone completely. They had found root in other beings. Those humans. One of the most fascinating things in the universe. Watched by nearly every modern space traveler. They did leave the planet though.
Too crazy to get in.
But for those four beings, they would need to take their place.
All slammed in the earth. It would take eons before they could or would be discovered. They paid it no mind.
They would need to bide their time. They would be discovered. By the descendants of their old friends.
But that could take time. Time they had more than enough of.
Eons later.
Buried deep below, a group of women was guided downstairs.
"So Matthijs? Any reason why you called us here and dragged us to this hole.?"
They were all of several beauties. From all over the world, they had gathered. Matriarchs, leading families to fight against evil.
"You'll get that when we get there." And that was the only answer they got from Matthijs.
The ones who had come over were Tsukiko Sarashiki, Lee Jin, Oyuki Mayuzumi and Ayaka Kojiro.
Tsukiko carried blue hair and had a voluptuous figure. She was wearing army clothes that couldn't hide the chest that was teasing out. Red eyes shined around the cave while the body was spilling out the tight clothes.
Jin had long hair that reached down to her ass. A round pair of breasts was out given the fact that the black clothes couldn't get closed around those. Her eyes matched the hair.
Oyuki could be mistaken for a relative of Jin, given the fact that her body was nearly identical. The difference lied in how they carried themselves. While Jin was elegant and graceful, Oyuki carried herself with a focus on fights. She also had shorter hair compared to Jin.
Ayaka had purple hair that was long as well but she kept it in a ponytail. Her body was well-formed throughout the years of fighting. An Amazonian beauty would be the best way to describe her.
Many a man had longed for their beauty but there were none that any found endearing and while their bodies had often gifted them with away in the world, it had no effect on the man that was guiding them.
A bear of a man would be the best way to describe Matthijs. In his early sixties now and a lifetime of fighting had taken a toll on his body. He was wearing an open jacket that showed a dirty shirt. Many men hoped that they could have a body like him while they were twenty. Large arms that were bugled with muscles. The way that Matthijs walked would be like an old wolf. Respected by all in the pack. His hair that had a brown blond color had turned gray and a beard accompanied him.
The women had a disdain for him and that would be easy to explain.
Two leaders, two top warriors. They were used to order, not to be ordered. If this was anyone else, they would have caused immeasurable pain. They were not older than thirty and yet, their paths were already laid out of them.
And the benefits came from that. It was their turn to suffer the drawbacks from that
But the four kept their mouth shut when Matthijs said. Like them, he was already a leader. Four decades older than them and he knew exactly what to do. Even in his sixties, he was a force to be reckoned with.
They had all tried to fight back against Matthijs and it ended horribly.
He was leading them down deeper in the earth.
Eventually, they ended up at a gate. A gate that showed certain high modernity.
"What is this?" Lee asked the older man who shrugged.
"Something that you should know. Or tell me that you don't have dreams the last months." The four girls were now looking over at the man who knew immediately he was right on the money.
"'How do you know that?" Tsukiko asked while Matthijs used his Nanites to open the gate.
"That is because I do. You are here for the same reason as I am." Inside a ship, had been embedded.
"This is what we have," Matthijs smirked as he looked over the four flabbergasted faces.
"You four have been having dreams about a calling. Well, that has been here. It's why I couldn't explain it."
"Why not go over this with our next meeting?" Turning his glaring face around, the four were taken aback by the look.
"Well, that's cause you know this. You know the dreams. I have had them as well. I did this because every fucking time you girls are around Izanagi, you forget your work and everything else. For fuck sake, you women are already mothers. Try to pay attention and use marital fidelity."
The four blushed when he said that but all four had grown used to his blunt nature. It was why things stood like they were now.
"The reason why you have been having dreams is that this here wants to communicate with you."
When his Nanites reached the ship, it went open and the energy came rushing through. The ship lit up and Matthijs knew it.
All four had one in the ship. Because it was on his turf, he had gathered on the ship.
But the rest was for them and as a moth drawn to flames, they walked to the ship. The older Hacker kept back and just let the women walk up to the ship.
Inside they would find the answers they were hunting for.
It would turn the tide around. Whether they liked it or not, inside, they would find something of power.
For years, they had been looking for answers against the power of the Reiki. His family had one. Their Nanites.
When he saw the girls walking in, Matthijs felt like a huge hypocrite. His own family had done something similar but at least, his father went to that Godforsaken hellhole in the hope, that it might turn into a better direction. Fat lot of luck it did them.
At least, he kept his head on his shoulder. He knew of the past with the War Divas. They would drop their panties if they had a chance with Izanagi.
He should have been there but around that time, Tatsuya and he had nothing sensible to say to each other.
His own Nanites stopped the process to a degree. And his sons and their sons would be able. But he knew that even with his faction, there was no way that he could take on the Orimura.
Quality over quantity only held out unless you went ballistic. If you attract every scoundrel, thief, and slave, you get an army that you could barely hold back.
Even so, without the Four War Dias, it would be suicide to fight back against the Orimura. Inside, it might be an answer to stop the fight.
He would wait and see what the ship brought.
"You really think that it can work?" Turning around, he was greeted by a cheeky grin and a 13-year-old boy came from behind him.
"I thought that I told you to stay put." Flipping the bird to his father, Azalof walked up fearlessly to his father figure.
"You summon the four Divas here and expect me to stay back? Think again, old shithead."
"Keep your mouth shut brat." Matthijs shot back to his son. He had a foul mouth and a real bad attitude. Most would see this as a horrible form of parenting. Yet, Matthijs had chosen this path for his son.
There was a very good chance that there would be a time that he would be alone. It was better to have a tough-as-nails boy on a throne with a right mind that did what was needed than a soft pushover.
It was why he allowed the flippant nature of his son and the fact that he was rather proud that he managed to slip after them without him or the Four Divas noticing.
"So this is why you called them." Matthijs ruffled the hair of Azalof who grinned as he felt that he wasn't in hot water.
"Yep."
"Any clue what we are looking at? Is this even real?"
"In what way?"
"Fuck if I know. I only know that I was called them here. I hope that inside there might be something." Azalof knew what his father talked about.
Sarah never blamed her husband for it. She lived to tell the tale. That was more than Hubertus could say.
"I hope so too. I don't want to bring my children in this."
Matthijs glared at his son but he was right. In the end, they brought children into this world for them to only fight down a conflict that was passed on to the next generation. Completely fucked up now and Sarah had hammered that home.
If things proved to be what it really was, maybe they could turn around what they had been struggling within the last few years. But only if this thing was worth a damn.
Inside, the four War Divas were pulled. Tsukiko, Jin, Oyuki, and Ayaka could feel how in time, four suits were frozen. Helmeted individuals stood there, their bodies covered.
None of them knew what to say really. They were all just shocked. But it was what they had been dreaming about the last few weeks.
[So you have finally come.] A disembodied voice said that shook the Divas to their very core.
"Who is this?" Tsukiko asked as she didn't see anybody.
[We are who we are. But if you wonder about you see. Well, I think that the correct thing to call us is Giants.]
[Aliens would be another correct term.]
"Aliens?" Jin joked.
"I was thinking of little green men." As she chuckled at her own joke, the other four glared at her.
[I see that you haven't changed. Lee was always joking.]
"How do you know my name?" The Chinese Diva asked while the voices made their own chuckle.
[Foolish girl. We have been existing longer than your planet. We wish we had more time to talk. But we'll keep it brief. We are on this planet to repent for our horrible mistakes. We are the last survivors of a disaster that destroyed our world. It's why we came here. And slept for eons. Now, with you four, we can begin our mission.]
"Mission?" Ayaka asked in a surprised tone. She didn't think it could get crazier.
[On this world, is an unspeakable evil. Evil in human form. We have seen this take roots in the world. We sent the message to the man to call you here. We are now here to begin the fusing.]
"Wait a minute." Oyuki protested.
"We never said we would agree on this."
[Your feelings on the matter are invalid. We know who you are. Mayuzumi. You and so many others stand against an evil. An evil that had no answer. And that is changing now.]
Before they could see anything else, the four figures felt away and like ghosts, they got swept into the four Divas. All four felt a hit as their bodies were forced on their knees.
When they grew stronger, they felt power in their bodies. But not like this.
They could feel how their bodies were enveloped in an aura. It shined through the night and it lit up the dark ship.
It even shined outside but Matthijs knew it was better to stay back.
But from what he saw in the light, he liked it and he was happy that it might turn the tide. It was time those Divas followed up and completed their duties.
"Crazy light show. What do you think is going on there?" Azalof was less concerned about the sanctity of this event.
"I hope that it's going to make your wish come true," Matthijs answered while the 13-year-old looked at his father. Before he even had to ask, Matthijs squatted down and the boy got in. It was a tradition as old as the Orlejov's themselves. Carrying a child in the back until he had to stand on his own.
[OST. Assassin's Creed. Roman Empire]
Inside the ship, Lee stood up as she felt her being merged.
"What was that?" Her aura was fast and strong. They had seen it before with Matthijs but now really could feel and see the powers that were roaming.
[We have come together. From now on, I, Giant Tiga had joined you, Lee Jin.]
Oyuki felt it in her body as well. Her aura was brown. She felt like her body was heavy and weighed on her. She could barely move it.
[Giant Dyna had tied herself with Oyuki Mayuzumi]
Tsukiko felt the power also surging in her. She had felt the same power before but now, she felt like she had mastered it. It showed that it couldn't get through to her.
[Giant Gaia has become a part of you, Tsukiko Sarashiki.]
The last, Ayaka felt it hard to believe it. A warm shower washed over her and it was like she could move it.
[Giant Agul is bound to you, Ayaka Kojiro.]
The War Divas looked at each other, unsure what to say exactly. Unsure of what to do.
[Now go forth. And complete our destinies.]
"And what destiny is that?" Tsukiko asked although somewhere deep inside she knew.
[To vanquish the evil that is known as Orimura. There is no escaping destiny.]
"We refuse," Ayaka shouted. She knew what would come if they tried to bring down the matriarchs. But that would be one thing.
They would have to kill Izanagi. That couldn't be done.
[It's our destiny. A previous form of our power had found its way onto the earth. It developed itself in that family known as Reiki. Or have you never wondered why they consist to be so strong despite their eons of what you humans call incest?]
The Divas looked at one another as they realized that.
Slowly, their own children were being born. Matthijs was also adamant in that regard. He was faster on the regard of children. Depending on the point of view. But now, they knew there was no going back.
"We can't," Oyuki muttered while everyone looked at her.
"We can't kill Izanagi." All four had not the strength. To defeat the four monsters. That they could do. But not Izanagi.
[Then leave the male for the Orlejov. But it's what is now set. Either you will kill them. Or we will destroy your bodies. We can't wait until their Chi-Tsuki begins.]
And with that, the Lights died down and the group had received their mission.
"You heard the ones." Matthijs had been trying to get them to stop the Orimura and now, they had the means.
The prophecy couldn't be fulfilled but that wasn't his concern.
They threatened his babies unborn and unnamed. He wouldn't let them go away.
And so, the four left without a word while Azalof watched the four left. He was nearly drooling over them.
Matthijs shook his head.
"Don't even think about it, brat." They walked back up to the surface. It would prove they would need fresh air.
"You didn't even hear what I said."
"I know what you think. Dear God, your brother was the same when he saw them." Azalof knew what he was talking about. He had seen the Orimura before. Their beauty first allured him as it did any man.
But he saw beyond that. As young as five, he found the danger zone that lurked. For once, he was happy he couldn't go along. Despite what they had seen and witnessed. The battle that would partake would be gruesome and costly.
And he would cherish those moments. With his father and his brother.
They could be the last he would ever have.
When they walked outside, they were greeted by a sight that made Azalof gulp, the four Divas' mood worsened and Matthijs looked elated.
The first person to run to them was a bit older than the Divas. In his early thirties, a slender body had begun to fill out and Erwin Orlejov, Matthijs' real son, greeted his father and adoptive brother. The eyes and hair color would be the only similarity that Erwin had with his father. Most of his body was given by his mother.
Sarah Adjzof was glaring at the youngest of the group. She kept herself in shape and had aged gracefully. Like her husband, her hair had gone white and it was carried in a ponytail. Her body had stayed slender throughout the years even after giving birth. Great thing to have Nanites in your system. Her face had shown wrinkles but she had accepted those in a way that her body grew up;
She could stop nature to certain degrees and she would allow it small victories. It didn't stop the fact that she was one of the most fearsome people in the world. Even the War Divas kept their mouth shut.
"Azalof Hubertus Orlejov. Can you give me a good explanation why you didn't stay where your father told you to stay?" The youngest gathered his courage while he looked at Sarah. He could not show fear but he would have to mind his words if he wanted to get away unscathed.
"I was curious and besides if you didn't see me leave, would it be a problem? Even Matthijs didn't see me coming until he was at the ship."
Erwin barked a laugh as he took Azalof over from Matthijs. It was a bit to let him know that Matthijs had bigger worries. Walking up to his wife of three decades and lover of four, Sarah still glared at him.
"And you congratulated him, I suppose." Sarah was still seething with rage. There was only one way to calm her down.
Seeing two old people kiss could cause many to lose their appetite but for Matthijs, it was the only way that they could move on. There were bigger issues going on now. A noise of disgust could be accepted from her sons but not from the girls.
Matthijs had no issues with Sarah storming off to Tsukiko.
"Do you have something to say? Tsukiko." The younger beauty rolled her eyes.
"Never understood what you saw in him. I still don't. Seriously. Keep that away. I would never be happy as a sloppy second." A lightning crack was followed while Azalof whistled.
He would never insult Sarah.
Grabbing the Russian beauty by the shirt, Sarah glared at her.
"Listen here, you little slut. In the years that Matthijs and I have been committed, he never stepped out on me once. In his position, he could have but never did. That is more than what you can say. You would all drop your panties for Izanagi. You would all gladly fuck him. Good thing that I didn't."
Matthijs just shook his head. Sarah was a great way to keep the Divas down and listening.
"Erwin, why did you come here? Is there something going on?"
The face of his son fell and Matthijs saw the light die out in his eyes. This was bad.
"Ichika is born. We just heard the news a few hours ago." Matthijs teeth gritted against each other. They were right on time when they found the ship.
A month was all they had. Before November would begin, many would fall.
[Scene skip]
A darkened room in which the four War Divas sat down. In the middle, Matthijs sat down.
While the Giants had fused with their bodies, there was only one thing standing to make the full circle. Their infatuation with Izanagi. They would have to be willing to destroy that. Matthijs had used his Nanites but even he wasn't fully protected. Anything that Reiki touched was under the spell.
The Wolf was an exception. He knew how to divide everything. There might be one lucky thing with the amount of fighting.
His son would fight Tatsuya's, the fathers would shed blood and the Divas had to take care of the Matriarchs.
The last remaining fighting Orimura had taken her life decades ago. Despite their grievances, his family, Orlejov would be forever bound to Orimura, one way or another.
Tatsuya and Matthijs were one way, Erwin and Izanagi were bound by their fathers.
Shihana had killed herself when her son imprisoned her. That wasn't why she took her own life.
For now, he could wait. The one thing he could rely on was the fact that Tatsuya, for all his flaws and mistakes, would keep his word. For Matthijs, that was the only thing that he relied on.
And if the Giants could keep help the Divas to destroy their link with the Orimura, they might get to fight.
[In the heads of the Divas]
All four Divas stood before their Giants.
[We brought you here. For a final test.]
"That test is," Jin asked while Ayaka began to feel uncomfortable. Matthijs was watching in from the outside.
[You all have a love for Izanagi Orimura. Every last one has to be killed.]
For the four, they knew what that meant. The demise of the man that they had all longed for.
Two of them had already children while the other remained unmarried. Yet, the ones that gave them their kids were undesirable compared to the son of the Orimura.
Tsukiko was the voice of the question.
"Even Izanagi?" She didn't want him gone.
[Especially Izanagi. He is the one that keeps the family together. Even with Tatsuya's influence, there is no stopping them.]
"We refuse," Oyuki shouted.
"I can not kill him," Jin said.
"Me neither," Tsukiko commented.
"There has to be a way to save him," Ayaka begged the giants to reconsider.
[Izanagi Orimura is the one who keeps the Matriarchs under control. The reverse is also true. We are not cruel. We do not ask you to kill him]
It was confusing to know which Giant was speaking. They all sounded the same.
[You only have to allow his death.]
"Never!" The chorus of four voices was shouted. A sigh if ancient beings could sigh was heard.
[We hoped it wouldn't come to this.]
A blinding light was shown and it was enough to take the room away. In that, the four Giants were flying. All had taken up their Respective Mate (a name they picked) and shown them the earth. It was silent.
There was only silence. There wasn't a single creature to be heard. There were no birds chirping, no insects zooming. Only silence. The earth had been reshaped. Spared in some way but the creatures that once roamed the earth were gone.
Japanese castles were shown. Those wouldn't be out of place in the land of the Rising Sun but in the middle of Antwerp, they certainly looked out of place. The entire world had a radical shift. The human race was gone for most.
It showed the family that lived through. The horrors they committed. The things they had done.
Matthijs looked from a distance away. A cruel grin found its way to its face. His relationship with Tatsuya had given him many pains.
But even he wouldn't be taking this step. He wouldn't wipe away the human race.
If he ever thought that, Matthijs would have killed him a long time ago.
'Even you wouldn't allow this. You want something else than this. Tats.'
They saw some women being treated like crap. They saw what happened to them. For some reason, they looked familiar.
[This will be the state of the world. Billions of lives swept away. This will happen.]
The women looked back at the beings and to the Earth.
[The only way to stop this is to stop the Orimura. Kill them. Exterminate them before they will do the very same thing to you.]
[We have a way to test you.]
The four War Divas looked at the Giants.
[Your bodies have accepted us but to fully grasp our power, your mind has to accept this. Fight an illusionary Izanagi. Kill him.]
"What?" Tsukiko asked.
"You can't be serious," Oyuki commented.
"Kill Tatsuya." Lee felt that the power in her knees was gone.
"That is too cruel," Ayaka said as she felt a hint of tears.
[This is the only way to save the human race. Accept his demise. Or perish.]
The War Divas knew there was no other way. Matthijs had brought this up numerous times. The time of acting was near. There would be no other way.
Even in silence, they knew that it was now their destinies were set.
It would always end this way.
The Giants didn't demand they spoke the words.
They weren't that cruel.
[Scene skip.]
Tsukiko moved through the area. Darkness kept her from seeing up or down but yet, she could freely move. It was clear this was in her mind. She felt the control over her power. It had grown really much now. It was better than it had ever been. Tsukiko moved her body around and just kept on walking.
The Giants had told them what they would be facing. Their deepest desires. Easy enough to figure that out.
But it wouldn't be easy. It wouldn't be easy to kill Izanagi. Even if it was in her head.
The Giant was quiet in her head. It became clear that she would be doing this alone.
Eventually, she saw the person standing there. Dressed in a black kimono, Izanagi was as beautiful as he ever was. She shivered of the happiness. Even with the two born, it wasn't the same that she realized they didn't come from him.
"Tsukiko, what are you doing here? I'm happy to see you." His charming smile showed and she wanted nothing more but to wrap her arms around him. Even in this dream form. Yet, she knew. She knew very well that she couldn't.
She had to end this. Closing her eyes, she knew that there was no other way. Relying on her extreme speed, her fist slammed through the face of the imaginary Izanagi. Turning around, the man that she loved, looked at her with tears in his eyes.
"Why?"
She bit through the ones in her own eyes and focused her energy on her fists. It slammed into his stomach and the heir of the Orimura fell on his knees. Still, he looked up with the hope of mercy in her eyes. They widened as her fist slammed right into his head. His body stopped moving.
[Very well done, Tsukiko.]
The leader of the Sarashiki heard Gaia say those words. It didn't make her happy though. She could at least be happy with the idea it wouldn't be her burden to carry.
[Scene skip]
Lee Jin felt power surging through her. It looked like it was familiar.
Because it was.
It was the home of toe Orimura. Like it was just a decade ago. The sun was setting and the woman felt her heart dropping to her stomach. She knew exactly where she was.
The night before her marriage with Izanagi.
And the night where she lost the only man she ever loved. She ran through the house. She didn't care about what she was seeing. The attendants looking at her, the guest gathering. She found that tears were spilling out.
This was the time where she lost her life.
Over those whores. Maybe one good thing that came from this new development.
One of the matriarchs would fall by her hand. Minazuki would be her choice of target.
And when she tore the door open, she saw the younger version of Izanagi sitting. It looked like the young man was troubled.
"Jin. What's wrong?"
[He is not real. Take your heart and set it free. You have done enough.]
A blast of her aura was enough to kill the Izanagi in front of her. Looking at the destruction of his body, her aura began to swirl. It engulfed the entire area and it was like a small nuke set off, destroying every building and everybody in its path. She fell down while her tears came crashing down.
It was like her Giant was a real Guardian. His presence comforted her. It was somewhat cathartic to be rid of this. She had no idea how much Izanagi had hurt her when he was taken by his sisters.
"It hurts. It hurts so fucking much!"
The Giant sighed as he saw the destruction. He wished that she could keep it under control when they came face to face to the real thing.
She delivered on her promise. Now, it was time for his.
[Scene skip]
Oyuki Mayuzumi found that the earth was moving with her. It was an excellent amount of power she controlled. Nature was always a place where she recharged. Where she and Izanagi could actually agree on.
There was a secret spot where she and he would play hide and seek.
It was like the Giants said. Every person that got close to the Reiki got infected. The only way that she could survive was to kill the pieces that Izanagi left in her.
She breathed in and felt how the earth had changed. The spot where Izanagi would wait on her. She felt how her shoes weighed like lead. She had gotten better in the art of war and death so it was no surprise that he didn't notice her.
Touching the earth, she found that she could control pieces of it. They moved around on her will. It shouldn't have been any surprise. Gaia made sense. Her hands moved over the earth and the young boy stumbled back as the earth opened around him.
"Mum!" He had no time to shout something else as the earth closed around him. His arm stuck right out and Oyuki couldn't bear herself to look at it.
She shuddered over the amount of power she controlled now.
[Very well done, Oyuki.]
"You know that I don't want this?"
[There is no other way. You know that it would always end this way.]
A piece of her withered and the warrior collapsed. Just like in the real world.
[Scene skip]
Ayaka Kojiro had always enjoyed the beach. One of the fondest memories was coming to the beach. No matter where on earth that she resided, the beach was always a great place where she could recharge and prepare herself.
She knew that she had a life cut out for her. Touching the sea, she felt the taste of the water.
'I should have control over water.' She muttered so the woman did something that would be impossible.
She steered the water out of the way.
Her mouth dropped open when she witnessed how the water parted.
'Unbelievable.'
[My power comes at a cost.]
She knew that and when she saw Izanagi, her lips began to drool. He was naked as the day he was born. Even with the sickness, there was no denying that Ayaka found the image of the male Orimura heir very pleasing. It was incredibly delicious.
Oh, how she had longed for his touch. Once upon a time.
His head turned and she felt her blush widen.
"Hello there, Ayaka. Care to join me?"
The word yes was on her lips but she focused.
With her left hand aimed at the sea, she had hoped that a small wave would just wash him away.
Instead, she got a fucking tidal wave that swallowed the entire beach. She herself remained standing between the water. Her mouth dropped open.
[This is only because you had to do this. Your control should improve over the course of this.]
'You must think me a coward. For not facing him myself.' A scoff escaped the being.
"Agul?" She spoke his name now. It was a feeling of longing.
[Your control over my power will be set now. Our duty remains. And just like the others, you have all done as we asked]
Ayaka collapsed on her knees.
[Scene skip]
Matthijs was many things. He could be ruthless, crude, and horrifying. But a small part of him twinged when the leader saw four young women crying.
He had a tough time saying they were in the wrong given what they just did on themselves. Killing the ones you love wasn't a thing most would consider doing.
But now they were done. He had been in the middle of this as his resolve was set in stone.
A knock on the door caused him to stop his musing.
"Come in."
Sarah witnessed the four girls yet paid no mind to them.
"Your men are waiting for you, sweetheart. Operation Murakami is underway."
Matthijs got up easily. She watched how he moved. It was nearly impossible to think that nearly five decades had gone by.
"Thanks. I'll see to them."
Sarah could keep a stiff upper lip but when her husband ran away, she began to realize that it would be the last month they would be together.
Her father-in-law, her brother-in-law, those two were already claimed by the Orimura. And now, she would lose her husband and son.
She knew what signed up for when she married Matthijs. But it didn't make things easier. Looking back inside, Sarah realized that she couldn't be harsh on the girls.
In a month, she would be crying just like them.
Small sneak bit for next time.
"Gotta admit. This makes for a great workout!" Erwin joked as he looked at Izanagi. The male Orimura was in worse shape than the Flemish man. They had all chosen their respective partners. A lot of people wouldn't walk away from this.
Izanagi tried to smirk back at him. His body was giving out on him faster than he wished for. Especially given the fact that the heir of the Orlejov was still looking better.
"I think that you still forgot that you have your own handicap." The smile fell from Erwin's face as he gave the Orimura male a glare that caused even Izanagi to gulp. A kick was delivered at a fraction of a speed.
The knife met the sword again but Erwin used his feet again. The male Orlejov crushed the knees of Izanagi. His knife found the opening and slashed the chest open of the Orimura.
Slowly, excruciatingly slowly, Erwin cut deep in the intestines. With the added Nanites, it was like the Reiki was giving Izanagi the same feeling when someone had a sarin attack. Erwin was far from done though as he lifted Izanagi up while the blood was soaking his sweater.
"You really have no fucking clue, do you?" The male Orimura coughed up blood while the Orlejov glared at him. He had killed many on principle but he never wanted one to suffer as much as Izanagi.
"What?"
"Even with our handicaps, I still got the stronger body. Sisfuck. Second. Our fathers have clashed for five decades. You really thought that I would never learn anything."
"You won't survive this." Izanagi continued to fight back and push back. So Erwin granted his wish. He pulled his hand back which caused the heir to fall on the ground. Lifting him with his hair, a cruel smirk found a way again.
"I know. Neither will you. But if you continue to live, our sons can lift their middle fingers to their futures. And that is not something I'd allow."
Here we end it. I would like to say this was done fast. An edge set in during this. I have done IS and Sekirei Brave New World but because it's not fully done, I started on this. This is largely inspired by Ultraman. At least, the requester got it from there and that is why it's like this.
I had time to think about this chapter at my job and I can add a few things to it. I'll keep those secrets for now.
The next update can take a while. There are a few new projects that I'll start next month. I hope that you guys enjoyed this.
It's been a while since I wrote in tbt and even further since I used Azalof.
There is a small Easter Egg hidden in this. Guess where? It's not the end line though.
That is inspired by a song that I listened to when writing this.
Mittelfinger Richtung Zukunft
I don't have much else to add. I'm going to have some fun in the coming week outdoors.
Saluut.
