I Don't Own Anything I'm Just A Crazy Fan.

Chapter 72: Strong Foundation.

Imperial Palace, Moon.

[Mother] arrived back in her home dimension and re-entered sector Zero of the moon base. Even though they had spent five months together in the Jedi's home universe, A full day had not passed for Yuuki and Seth. During those five months, it wasn't just him spending time with Yuuki, but he did make it a point to focus on her when he had the chance, which was a majority of the time. Within 3 months the star child was already making ships, not near the production capabilities of the full star forage, but to see that they were able of making a capital ship so quickly was shocking. Then there was the planet they were on. Honesty, Alderaan was more beautiful than either of them could have imagined.

Seth would have wanted to bring his entire family to that planet and experience its raw beauty, but in this world, time was not a luxury he had. With the tension on the Chinese-North Korea border building up, most of his time was going to resolving this issue. However, it was not just these two that had returned. Holding hands with Yuuki was a small blue skinned child with red eyes.

"Mama, where?" The girl asked in simple basic, to the woman holding her hand.

"Home, Emiri." Yuuki replied as she smiled towards the small child who had grown on the two while they were on Alderaan. When he brought back the small child from those aliens using her for her force abilities, he didn't know what to do with her. He thought about leaving her in the care of the rebellion, but that was too much of a risk. The Emperor would have found her.

She was strong, and it would have been only a matter of time before she was found by the empire. The reason they left even though they ghad months before time was up in their home universe was the appearance of two Imperial Inquisitor. They would have been slaughter had Seth engaged them, But the disappearance of those two would have been announcing the fact Alderaan was holding a Jedi survivor, at least it would have told Palpatine that someone strong was on the Alderaan and the whole planet would have been punished. Plus, Yuuki had taken a real liking to Emiri. That name was chosen because it was easy for the child to say and in basic it sounded like Emily. Emiri was also learning both Basic and Japanese, since the translator droid couldn't figure out what she spoke.

Though, this now created a new issue for Seth. He had to come clean to his other wives on what he did. He couldn't try to hide Emiri from the rest of his family. No, he was gonna raise her like she was his own blood. He called the other wives, and the CPUs saying they were gonna have a family meeting tonight, much to their surprise.

"Well I guess we're gonna have somethings to explain tonight."

"Yes, but still I got this cutie out of it, so I think it's worth it." Yuuki replied as she gave a hug to the young chiss girl who was happy to receive the affection. This put a smile on the Emperor's face as he watched the two bonding. She was now his second adoptive daughter.

"Well, two boys and three daughters so far." He said to no one in particular. Peashy Emiri, and technically Chloe. They weren't related by blood, but Chloe was sort of like his daughter as well, but she was in reality more of a friend. Plus, she was biologically older than him at 18. However, she was excited to become a big sister to the child inside of Tabane. Seth was wondering what the child inside of Tabane's stomach was gonna be. He was hoping for a daughter from her, but they needed to wait at least another month and a half to learn the sex of the child. Plus, there was also Rattle, Gina and Amelia showed him a positive result from the blood test. In a few months there would be at least four extra little terrors in the palace.

Meanwhile in Japan.

Shinji Ikari, laying on the couch of his apartment, was browsing through the documents regarding his new squadron. His call sign was Purple 3.

Purple 1 was a woman by the name Daria Komar. She was a 35-year-old brunette of eastern European origin. She was in the Georgian Air Force, but when the infinite Stratos was introduced, the government placed less emphasis on traction pilots and began pumping tons of money into their IS program. Naturally Daria tried to apply for the new program, however she has a low sync score with the new machines. She was picked over another woman with higher mark. Eventually the government told her that with her age and unable to use an IS, she was forced into resignation.

Purple 2 was a man by the name of Diego Del-Carmen. A young man of the age of 22. A former pilot of the Mexican Air Force, he was a patriot but became delusional when he learned how corrupt the chain of command was. After being confronted by cartel members who wanted to bribe him, Diego decided to defect to the Empire. With no family to hold him back, he had nothing to lose. Though he was young for a pilot he was skilled and thus was the second in command of purple squadron.

Purple 4 was a man named Eduardo Gutierrez, age 27. He was from the nation of Columbia. Like Diego, he considered himself a patriot of his country of birth, but he too saw the corruption of the government and when he was forced to carried out a strike mission against a rural village due to their supposed connection to the drug cartel known to operate in the area, he too defected to the Empire.

Purple 5 was a man of German origin, Wolfgang Bauman, age 25. He was a bit of a hotshot and had a history of being a compulsive gambler. He was about to be convicted in a military court for his history of disobeying orders when he ran away to the Empire. Though his skills in a fighter jet couldn't be doubted. Had the Infinite Stratos not been around, he may had had a much easier life.

All of Shinji's squad mates were incredible pilots in their own right. It was a little daunting to say the least for Shinji, trying to get used to the fact that he was now a member of such a team. He was just a kid who was playing around in a video game and now he was flying in space across the stars.

"Baka Shinji! What the hell are you doing?!" Asuka's screech pulled the young almost 15-year-old teen from his thoughts. He turned his head wondering what he did this time to inquire the wrath of the eye patched German redhead and noticed that Rei, Kuroi, Sakura, and Mari were behind her.

"Umm what?" Shinji asked unsure of what the he may have done. Asuka pointed a single finger towards Shinji's stomach and that was when he noticed a girl with short grey hair laying on top of him, content with her resting spot.

"Huh?! Kaworu, when did you get there?" Shinji couldn't feel any extra weight on his chest. He had no idea how long she had been there. Kaworu didn't respond, seemingly choosing to ignore Asuka.

"Move!" Asuka grabbed the Angel flug her to the ceiling much to the surprise of everyone in the room, including Asuka who didn't think she put that much force on her grab. Kaworu let out a small moan of pain as she struck the ceiling and slowly floated down to the floor. She got up and her eyes were glowing red, anger clearly in them.

"Asuka, that wasn't a nice thing to do." Kaworu said with a dark tone. Shinji at this point got up. He was used to the constant fighting happening in this apartment with six girl and one boy. Luckily this apartment was spaces as they had a whole floor to themselves. So that was never an issue. Shinji had placed the data pad on the nearby table and got up to break up the two girls before things got too heated. He had no clue why Kaworu and Asuka seemed to be fighting a lot more recently.

Mari noticed the datapad on table and wondered what was so enthralling that Shinji lost focus of his surroundings. She began to scroll through the tablet like deceive. Sakura and the two blue hair girls looked at the tablet. When they noticed Purple 1 and how beautiful she was a smirk appeared on Mari's face.

"Oh, Shinji-kun seems to be interested in older woman." Teased the burnette.

"What?!" Both Kaworu and Asuka shouted then focused their gaze at the sole male in the room.

"N-n-no I don't. Commander Komar is my squadron leader!" The blushing teen was able to mutter out in a panic.

"Squadron leader?" Sakura took the datapad for herself and began to read its contacts.

"Ensign Ikari!?" Rei shocked the room with her outburst.

"Shinji is a pilot? When did that happen?" Kuroi asked after her clone.

"Ah well, remember when Aniki called me up to the moon." Shinji said as he rubbed the back of his head. Shinji would have said more had his communicator not gone off. He rushed towards his backpack that was nearby and pulled out the holoprojector and a female Imperial officer appeared in his hand.

"Ensign Ikari, you are needed at Reach. His majesty has ordered that you meet your squadron. Your fighter is coming to the designated location." The officer said.

"But I have school tomorrow?"

"You have been excused. Your teachers are under the impression that you have a family matter to attend to and will not be in class this week. Please arrive at the designated location on time. The Japanese Self Defense Air Force may intercept you if you take too long."

"Understood ma'am. I'll be there." Shinji replied, and the hologram faded away. Shinji got up and made his way towards his room. He had to get to the landing spot outside the city in less than 90 minutes.

"See you later!" Shinji said as he had changed his outfit and grabbed a bag with him.

"Hey wait! It's your turn to make dinner."

"I left some food in the fridge!" Shinji shouted as he closed the door and left.

"What just happened?!" Kaworu and Asuka said in unison, agree for once on the same thing.

The next day, with Seth

Currently inside of class one, Seth was sitting at his desk, reading a report he recieve. It seemed that Shinji was getting along just fine with his new teammates. There was also status update on the IS core program. It seemed that many nations were on board with making new exoskeletons. IIB had a report that several males have discovered that they could use an Infinite Stratos. There were men from the four different countries. They were from Egypt, Mexico, China, and the United States. They hadn't been made public yet, but the IIB had a great reach. They would continue to observe them. In the meantime, Class one was being handed out the Amuspheres. They were gonna test out the IS simulator after Chifuyu and Maya had been given a crash course in how to operate the device.

After putting the headset on, he grabbed a pillow and rest it on his desk. They would get comfortable chairs that they could rest in next semester, but for now they had to make due.

After activating the headset, Seth appeared in a recreation of the Planeptune main plaza, wearing his grey robes as that was the default appearance for him. It took a few minutes for the rest of the class to appear. Many of the girls were shocked at how realistic the virtual world looked. With a sea of students flooding the plaza, Chifuyu began the session.

"Alright, everyone. We'll be running a field test for this new system. As such, you'll have two hours to yourselves. When the time is up, you'll be spawned into the training simulator. Now get going." Chifuyu finished and a few portals opened up. This was a one to one recreation of planeptune with shops and other activities. Seth made his way towards a speeder bike rack and rented one out, He offered Samus to join him, but she was going into the Necromorph/Zombie simulation to practice her skills in her power armor since it's been a while since she used it. He was kinda sad that his wife didn't want to join him.

Then again, she was probably still mad like the others were about him taking Yuuki to a different dimension. The girls had no issue with taking Emiri into their house, they were upset that he was getting involved in a universe that he had no part in. He had withheld the information about the Star Forges, but he did say that he was forming a rebellion. Serra was upset that he didn't take her with him to talk to the Rebellion leaders since she had a personal stake in it. The others didn't want Seth to place himself in harm's way if not necessary, since they needed him.

As such there was only one thing to do in this situation. To the bar. Seth arrived in a bar located in the sea of skyscraper that was the center of Planeptune. This was where he took Neptune one time when they first started dating. After taking a seat at the bar, he ordered a vodka tonic. It wasn't even 9 am yet. During this time, the young world leader began to think on what his next course of action Chinese were becoming a real issue. Lelouch recommended entering an alliance with the Republic of China on the island of Taiwan to retaliate for their recent action. However, entering an alliance meant that they would have to provide military support should the standoff between the two become heated. Then there was also the fact, Lelouch wanted to break up mainland China, like he did in his home universe. During this time, he failed to noticed that several students had entered the bar and had sat next to him. When he ordered his fourth drink was when he heard a voice speak next to him.

"Uhh, Fairs don't you think it's too early in the morning for this?" Turning his head towards the direction of the voice to see four girls staring at him. The one who spoke to him was Shizune Takatsuki. If his memory was right, she was Houki's current roommate. Next to her was Sayuka Yorutake, Honne Nohotoke, and a girl from Israel Talia Levi.

"Why are you girls here?" Seth said as he picked up his drink and took a slip.

"We got lost!" Honne cheerfully exclaimed as the others looked embarrassed.

"Chifuyu forgot to put the age restrictors on." They shouldn't have been able to enter the bar. These were meant for members of the Imperial military to unwind without actually getting drunk while deployed on large vessels for extended periods of time. It was at this moment that Seth remembered that tolerance to alcohol was not present in the virtual world and the vodka tonics decided to strike him at that moment. As he got up, he stumbled and had to grab the edge of the bar to catch himself.

"Ah hell! I forgot this isn't the real world." Seth continued to struggle to get his footing. The world was constantly tilting like he was on a ship during a terrible storm. It was at this point that he felt a hand on his shoulder.

"Wow, you can't hold your alcohol can ya?" Shizune said as she helps him up.

"In real life this much wouldn't do much. But I forgot that..." Seth said the last part with a slight amount of shame.

"AH! It doesn't matter. I'll be fine in a few hours! I just gotta do something that don't involve me doing shit." Seth slurred out. As he made his way out the bar, he was stopped by the others.

"Where are you going?" Sayuka asked.

"There's this spa place nearby. Wanna come?" The girls agree, mostly just to see what the so called, world's most wanted man, while he was intoxicated. After seeing all their heads nod in agreement he called a cab over and got in.

Meanwhile With Charlotte.

The French Representative Candidate was sitting on a bench nearby where they have spawn in. As she sat, her mind began to replay the events from the night before.

As she was alone in her room, Laura had left to deal with a matter regarding her IS and its repairs after the assault from Abiding Watcher, the Bundeswehr was asking a lot of questions. She was in the middle of doing a homework assignment when she received a call from the highest office of the French fifth republic.

The government of France was currently in secret negotiations with the Eternal Empire, the official name of the Empire. As such they needed an ambassador, and knowing her past interactions with the Emperor, they had requested that Charlotte Dunois become the official ambassador of the French government.

However, there was more information. During the coming school year, Diana Dunois, youngest daughter of Albert and Rozenta Dunois, would be attending the academy next year. She would be using an 3rd generation based off [Joan of Arc], called [Joséphine Rose]. She was a skilled pilot and Charlotte would be her keeper while at the school. Oh, how the memories of how cruel this young girl was seemed to resurface all at once.

After her mother had passed, and arriving at her biological father's home, she was ignored by that man. His wife and two daughters were far worse. Their verbal abuse escalated to physical. Charlotte didn't hate them, but she didn't want anything to do with them.

And then there was the matter regarding her young heart. How she hated and loved a certain man. Seth was her protector and her devastator. He tore her heart out two months earlier, yet her feelings remained unchanged. She hated it. He was a womanizer. A man who would kill without hesitation. A man who threaten the stability of the world. He was the man who had freed her from her cage. He was the man who protected her on numerous occasions. He was there when she needed him. Yet he was out of reach. He lied to her, broke her trust, saw different women, when he knew how she felt. Yet this feeling in her chest wouldn't disappear. No, the opposite was true. The burning in her chest only increase.

"Come on, I have to keep it together." Charlotte thought to herself as she got herself up from the desk. Since she was in this place, she might as well explore her surroundings. When she bumped into Houki, Laura, and Cecilia who had formed a group. The four girls had arrived at a cafe and began to order item. They were all genuinely surprise when their items came, and they tasted like the real thing.

"This is virtual right?" Cecilia remarked to no one in particular.

"We could eat as much as we wanted in this world and nothing happens to our bodies, right?" Responded the swordswoman who up until recently looked exhausted.

"Well considering who made these, this isn't too surprising." Added the french girl as she took another bite of her cake slice.

"Of course, my brid-" The air in the atmosphere instantly shifted. To break the tension Cecilia spoke up.

"Have any of you ladies been addressed by your home government regarding him?" There was a slight hesitation from the others, before all three of them nodded.

"Bloody MI6 is constantly asking me to spy on him. And Rin let me know that she's under similar pressure from her higher ups."

"It's the same for me. The Bundesnachrichtendienst has been repeatedly asking for my unit to assist them in intelligence gathering on the Empire. We've told them all we know minus the dimension travel. I'm worried they'll think I'm insane." Laura replied.

"The Ministry of Defense called me a few nights asking for something similar, but I thought it was more trouble than it was worth so I declined, and they can do much since I'm not a member of the government like you are." Houki left out the fact that she had informed Chifuyu of the government's request and she was the one who told her to decline it. Chifuyu had been approached by the government of Japan herself, but since she was retired from being a national pilot and IS academy faculty like students do not need to respond to the demands of any governmental body, she too had rejected the request.

"Actually, last night, the French government something along those lines." The talks with the Empire were supposed to be secret. Charlotte didn't want to risk exposing any secrets. That and she really didn't want to think about Diana coming to this school anymore then she had to. They had talked for a bit longer before something had happened to them.

They were surrounded by a green glowing light before they reappeared at the park. They soon saw the other students return to the park being teleported via the glowing green light. It was at this time Samus reappeared wearing her power armor, covered in blood. Much to the surprise of the rest of the class. However, a group of students wearing nothing but towels quickly got everyone's attention.

""EH!?"" The girls in the group screamed while Seth seemed unfazed being seen in a towel.

"What were you doing?!" Houki pointed at the former Sith with a slight blush on her face.

"There's a spa. We were relaxing. The open-air bath was quite pleasant and before you ask, we were on different sides."

"It was amazing!" Honne said out loud with glee, before she continued. "We all had a mud bath first off."

"Then we had massages. Oh, that was so nice I'm still tingling from that." Sayuka added.

"After that we had an aromatherapy session. I can't believe this isn't the real world, it felt so real." Shizune followed up with.

"We had just entered the baths when the lights covered us." Talia finished the groups adventure. Houki and several others wanted to ask a few questions, but they were cut off by the sound of whistling. Maya had gained the attention of the class.

"Alright class, I'm sure you experience this new device mimics the real world where you can use all your senses. As such we will now be starting the IS simulator." Maya said as she pressed a few button on the hologram in front of her and the classroom's outfit was changed to their IS suits. They were then transported to a lush conifer forest with light snow covering the land. Most of the girls began to cover themselves due to the sudden change in temperature and the suit's lack of material leaving much more skin exposed.

"Ladies tap on school symbol at the corner of your HUD. Select an IS unit to materialize it." Chifuyu instructed. The students quickly pressed the icon on their HUD and several options presented themselves to the girls.

There was the two units they were familiar with, [Uchigane] and the [Rafael-Revive]. Several other second-generation machines whose blueprints were public. Then there were several imperial units. [B.L.A.Z.E.] basic variant and [F.L.A.M.E.] basic variant, were stripped down versions of Seth's IS units. [Akatsubaki] Mass production was another option the student saw. Then the last one was called [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] was the Empire's newest prototype 4.5 generation machine and it was a modular IS with nearly instant loadout changes. Based off the of the [Strike] Gundam's data, this IS model was Dan's pride and joy. Like most IS the default model of the machine had little armor in the core. However, the legs and the arms though covered in armor were far less bulky than a standard unit. Its chest plate was a mixture of blue with red more toward the hips. Lastly, she had a V shaped white horns on the head for the sensor array. It had fold out armor hidden in the frame. (AN: Think of the RX-78 Gundam girl).

A sea of white particles of light engulfed the group of students, before they were in several units. The IS representative candidates were given copies of their IS units and were linked with their cores. The data gained in the simulation would actually help their cores learn. After seeing everyone had picked units, Chifuyu spoke up.

"Alright class, we will begin with a simulated battle between squadrons. This will be a baseline test and your groups will be shuffled, but for now you'll pick your partners. You will be group up into squads of five and be led by a personal IS user. Now hurry up and get in squads!" The students dared not risk incurring the wrath of Chifuyu. They began to move quickly. However, most girls wanted to group up with the emperor, but the four who had hung out with him earlier had formed the group. With a little motivation from Chifuyu the rest of the class was now in six squadrons of five.

Seth looked at the girls in his squad and saw that Shizune was in a [Akatsubaki] mass production model and was blue in color. Honne was in a [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] with a heavy weapon load out. It has an anti IS Bazooka, and two heavy rotary beam cannons. Along with the Beam sabers on the back of the unit, the twin beam wrist mounted heavy rifle and a shield. The Unit did have a even heavier loadout called the Full Armor Package, but that was unable to fly for long in atmosphere. It was simply too much gear. Talia was in the same unit as Honne but she had a sniper loadout based off of [Cherudim] Gundam data. It was armed with GN missiles, a heavy particle/laser sniper rifle, and shield bits. The bits would normally need to be controlled by an AI, but this this was a simulation the network would control them for now and lastly Sayuka was in copy of [F.L.A.M.E.]. It was not equipped with all of weapons and was not built with the fold-out armor. It was basically [F.L.A.M.E.]'s default 3rd generation form, with less armament.

They were once again surrounded by light and spawned in a round location. Seth knew that this arena was 500 kilometers in all direction, Including up. He knew that the girls in his squad had all units with a space flight mode, so they could survive in low Earth orbit and the Sniper package had orbital sniping capabilities, since it had both Plasma rounds and a laser setting, but the latter was significantly less powerful, yet traveled at the speed of light.

"Alright girls, I have a plan of attack. We need to get some eyes above. We're dealing with some massive distance and finding other teams without exposing ourselves is gonna be a challenge. Talia, you think you can handle it? I know you have several hundred flight hours from your homeland." He asked the tan skinned, brunette.

"I think so. Is this unit actually real, and not just a concept? The specs on this machine is incredible." The girl from the middle east had been reviewing the specs and was honestly astonished.

"We have several bodies built, but once we clear with the International IS regulatory committee we will increase production for those who don't have a suit. We also have several other-" Seth was cut off by the sound of a distant explosion.

"We should get moving. Takatsuki, Levi, grab Yorutake. Her machine is too heavy to escape the atmosphere quickly. Nohotoke, I'm carrying you." Before Honne could get a word out, Seth used his grapple beam and expanded his fold out armor. Green lines came to life on his IS. Blue lights came out of the copy of [Akatsubaki] and Red line appeared on the two [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] units. The sky was filled with three streaks of color as the team of five entered low earth orbit. Once there, Seth got Talia into position and told Yorutake that she was Talia way back down. Reentry would be far reducing the energy consumption if they used the mass production [F.L.A.M.E.]'s energy. While Talia got used to the long-range sniper mode, she saw two squads fighting one another.

"Hey, I see some students fighting one another."

"How far away?"

"Sensor says 385 kilometers." Talia replied.

"We can get there in about a minute if we use gravity to accelerate us. Levi get your sights on them and hold your fire till were 25 kilometers in. We'll give them a real shock. Ladies follow my lead." Seth said as he flew back down towards the surface. The two girls joined him, and soon after they were enveloped by a light orange glow as they entered the atmosphere.

The two groups fighting was Charlotte's and Cecilia's squads.

Charlotte squad was made up of two [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.], one strike loadout, giving it advanced flight capabilities, while the other was a nimble [Shinobi] package. This was a less armored and armed package, but it was significantly faster, and with the fold-out armor deployed, it was truly a speedy threat. It had several beam daggers, a metal katana vibroblade, and several small attack bits. The other three in her squad was a [Rafael-Revive], and one [B.L.A.Z.E.] basic model.

Cecilia's squad was made up of three [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] units, one was another sniper package, the second was a sword master package, which armed the unit with a main heavy blade that had a built-in blaster. Two beam sabers, four beam daggers, a half size shield that has a hidden rotary gun. The third was in the Melee loadout. Which has heavier armor on the arms and legs. As its name suggests, it was a brawler type IS loadout, that had these massive structures on its legs and arms. It could perform [Impact Punch] and [Devoid Kick]. The legs had tanks filled with dark matter, that once another unit is struck their mass increases by forty times. This slowed downs the affected unit for a few minutes. The last unit was an [Uchigane]. He guessed some girls liked a reliable unit.

"Levi, open fire!" Seth ordered as the organ glow left the three units and they were now in range of the other teams' radar. Seth wanted to arrive in style, so he materialized [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s Beam magnum and took aim. Honne had pulled out her twin barrel heavy beam rifle and Shizune picked the girl in the [Uchigane] and changed her trajectory,

The two team were suddenly interrupted by two massive beams streaking across the air. The beam magnum didn't hit anyone directly, but it did graze the [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] with the shinobi package, and the [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] with the brawler package. Both girls were devastated by the amount of points they lost. [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] were going to be equipped with the second gen core, but unlike the teacher's unlocked core, the student cores will have limiters on that only allowed them 1000 energy points instead of the full 4000 unless the teacher released the limiters. This was in the event of a student going rouge and so that countries with original cores don't claim unfairness during a tournament.

Knowing this and given the fact that these girls were already in the middle, but their remaining energy was in the low hundreds now. And they didn't even take a direct hit. Maya, Chifuyu, Natasha and Iris, who were watching the match were astonished.

Honne had target Cecilia with her twin barrel heavy beam rifle. As the pink beam streaked across the virtual sky, the other girl in the [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] sniper unit, deployed the shield bits around her squad leader, and the shield they held withstood the blast, but they were drain of their energy and had to dock with the [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] unit. However, Honne fired again and again and again, forcing the two to take evasive measures. Then Cecilia was hit, but not by Honne. A red laser struck her several times, not taking a lot of point, but the repeated attacks was slowly draining her points. Since the laser traveled at the speed of light, it crossed the nearly 400 kilometers distance instantly.

The girl in the second gen Japanese united was suddenly struck by a blue IS several times, she back up but soon saw three blue streaks of energy from the mass production copy of [Amatsuki] and avoid the three beams at the last second. Shizune raised her copy of [Karaware] but was forced to cancel her attack as the [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.], with the Sword master package. The heavy main blade forced Shizune to block, but the force of the attack, knocked by the dark blue haired girl.

Charlotte was unleashing a massive barrage from [Joan of Arc] at the [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] with the brawler loadout, but she shifted her focus to defending her teammate that was grazed by the beam magnum and shifted her guns on Seth, but her teammate in the the [Rafale-Revive] charged in.

"Jeanne. get back!" Charlotte shouted, but it was futile. Seth used a grapple beam and threw her towards the ground. The pilot Jeanne tried to get up, but was impaled by a red energy blade, before she disappeared into a cloud of light particles. Charlotte saw on her HUD that Jeanne's health bar was depleted, and her bar read 'KIA'. Jeanne respawned next to the teachers who were observing the remaining of the match.

"Huh? What happened?" Jeanne asked out loud as she remember she was thrown then spawned in the room.

"You died." Chifuyu stated bluntly. A video began playing in front of the teen with her 'death' playing. It shook her to say the least, but Maya reminded her that the purpose of the simulation was to train them so events like this wouldn't happened.

"The kids gotten real mean since I last saw him." Iris commented even though it was a few months ago that she saw him. Then again, he made his own nation in that time. Natasha watched in silence. It was then that the pilot of the [Uchigane] Kiyoka Aikawa appeared. Shizune had finished her off since it was a gen 2 machine verses a gen 4 machine. Back at the screen they saw the mass produce [Akatsubaki] fighting the [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] with the sword master package.

Cecilia and her other sniper were blasting at Honne in her heavy weapons package, but the shield and the armor were tanking the hits, barely taking any points from the shields. The armor of the heavy weapons package and the full armor package were made with a special material that the could absorb the blast from energy and plasma weapons and disperse it throughout the suit. Reducing the need for shields, but it had its limits.

Plus they were still being attacked from orbit by Talia, but she was running low on energy for the laser, but her plasma was full. After talking with Sayuka, she came closer to the [L.E.A.R.N.E.R.] and envelope the two in a red barrier.

Meanwhile with Samus.

The head of the Harem and her team, like her husband were in brawled in a three-way fight. She had lost one girl in a [B.L.A.Z.E.] copy, but she herself had taken out two students with ease. There was a clear difference in their skill levels and she felt sorry for them. They would be better if they could have more time in their machines, which was the whole point of the core loan program. Hopefully they'll get much better in time.

Samus was forced out of her thoughts when Laura fired a round from her railgun at the yellow IS. Samus avoid the attack, but as she shifted her focus on the German representative candidate, a large red streak of energy thanks to a certain Japanese pilot whose team had joined the fight.

The match was truly just between the three experienced pilots as the rest of the girl had very little skill.

When Houki closed the distance between Laura and herself, Samus broke off from the two and fired at a few girls with her Nova beam. The precise shot tore at the shield points from several girls and two were penetrated. Those two girls disappeared in a cloud of blue particles. Houki and Laura saw that their HUD read KIA for one of their teammates.

Samus teammates, in their machines, took advantage of the confusion Samus made and coordinated a counterattack. Compared to the confused groups, who didn't know how to focus on, they eliminated five other students.

Samus began to use her screw attack and charged towards the other two personal IS pilots. Laura fired her wired daggers towards the spinning IS, but they bounced off and Laura took the brunt of the attack. After hitting the ground Laura looked around her and saw above her that Houki was pressing down on Samus's single energy blade with her swords. Samus saw Houki's blades glow bright red. As a last resort, Samus moved away and deployed her shield bits. They took the hit and shattered, allowing some of the attack to drain Samus's shields. Samus changed her beam to its dark beam setting. Dark purple energy emanated from the cannon as a cluster of dark matter was being charged up.

Back with Seth

Seth put away the beam magnum and brought out his miniguns. He fired at Charlotte who returned the gesture with her four main guns and the breast plates open up to reveal two additional rotary guns. This was followed by a volley from the missile pods on [Joan of Arc]'s shoulders. Since this was a simulation, Seth didn't have access to [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s A.T. field. As such he was forcing to evade the incoming attack, but he created a blue sphere in his hand and fired an energy beam at the French pilot. The attack didn't get a direct hit, but the grazing attack took 50 points from her. As she moved to avoid, she was struck by two proton torpedoes. She cursed as she knew that was going to take a sizable amount of points from her. However, her face shifted to shock as she looked at her right arm and saw that it was gone. The blast blew off the IS arm plus some of her forearm. She was able to keep herself calm as she knew it was just a simulation, still the sight of where her arm should be replaced with a red stub of light was very unsettling.

"I'm impressed you're not breaking down." Seth said as he landed near her.

"Why is this a feature?" Charlotte said.

"I wanted this simulation to be as life like as possible. Including the possibility severe injury or even death. I don't think most girls in the school understand how serious operating the Infinite Stratos is."

"Seth, we're teens. We'-"

"Teens that are being given access to highly advanced weapons platforms that are able to demolish nearly anything in their way." Charlotte realized the whole point of the simulation. So did another girl. Cecilia and the remaining members of the three squads had stopped their fighting as Seth spoke on an open channel. As did the other trio of team fighting one another.

"You're trying to desensitize us to killing." Cecilia said as she joined the chat.

"I want this system to make students experience all possible situations. Including the possibility of killing."

"This is too mu-" Cecilia was immediately cut off.

"If they can't handle this, perhaps the students should rethink their future as an IS pilot. This isn't a game. These are military weapons that are designed to kill. They have to be prepared to take a life. Hopefully that never has to happen, but if they hesitate in a battle, that could cost them their life." Most of those listening to the chat had not heard their classmate speak in such a cold tone. A few shuttered when they processed his words, others were left stunned. There was a delusion that being a renown IS pilot was just like being a celebrity. Yet within the last year, more and more of these IS drone armed with weapons that could break the ultimate barrier. During the attack on the academy, several teachers were injured, one required a few weeks in the hospital.

They had to come to the realization that this was a dangerous profession. These were weapons. Weapons that could cause massive destruction. There are people that want these weapons. People who would be willing to take them away, no matter the cost. And they were all going to get their own machines. Having a target on their backs. Seth looked around and the remaining girls in the area around them were stunned. Even his teammate, including Talia and Sayuka who had arrived and were just floating.

"Cancel the simulation. We need to talk to the entire class." Seth asked his sister, who was about to end the simulation before he even asked.

Back in the classroom.

After getting up from his desk, and standing in front of the board, he saw the other students get up from their desk. He waited until all the students were up before he spoke.

"So, what exactly did you girls think when you agreed to be pilots for your countries?" Chifuyu started. Most of the girls had a uncomfortable look on their faces.

"When you signed up to be a pilot, you agreed to become a part of your country's military. In the military you need to be prepared to fight, even kill if necessary." Seth added. A couple of girls looked on the verge of tears.

"Look, if you can't handle this, then you need to think if you should stay at this academy. It's gonna get harder from here on out. The only reason why the Empire is loaning its cores, is so you can at least hold out until a teacher arrives if we're attacked again. We may not get as lucky during the cannonball fast again." Before anyone could talk, Chifuyu cleared her throat.

"I think it would be okay if we had an early lunch today. Classes for you lot are done for the rest of the day. Use this time to reflex, because my foolish brother is right. We need to get stronger, if you can't handle it then rethink your career choice."

"HUH?!" Everyone but the representatives shouted.

"You two are siblings? I thought Fairs-sensei was his sister." Sayuka exclaimed. That was when the two looked at each other and realized they never said anything.

"Oh, we never told you guys. Chifuyu is my biological sister, while Natasha became my adoptive sister when I was kidnapped as a child and the Americans rescued me." Seth said as he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment. Suddenly a loud beeping penetrated the silence in the room. Seth immediately grabbed the small holoprojector and a hologram of the Planeptune logo appeared.

"Seth you need to get here now!" Nepgear's voice cried out.

"What wrong? Are you under attack?!"

"No Onee-chan entered labor! We're headed to the hospital!"

End of Chapter.

Author note: Hey guys so It's been a bit. Don't worry, next chapter should be here sooner and a bit faster pace. As for the next few arcs, there's at least few more arcs. Fire emblem, Azur Lane, Gears of War, and Star Wars Rebellion era. I may add a return to Code Geass after I've seen the recent movie. After those arcs will be a time skip and Akikaze will takeover as the protagonist. I got a few arcs planned for him such as misadventures in Konosuba, or an arc in the fallout universe. And by the time I get to his arc, there will most likely be a new elder scrolls game. Next chapter will be setting the stage for the future. Let me know what you think and till next time.
