At last! The rematch between Thomas and Laura is finally here! I've been waiting so long for the perfect time for the second fight, and now I can prove to everyone that I didn't forget!

Disclaimer: I do not own Infinite Stratos.

The Tag-Team Tournament is underway!

The match to start off the Tournament is none other than Thomas's fateful rematch with Laura! Tomas is in a far more dangerous fight than before! Laura's on a rampage, and she'll stop at nothing to ensure she'll be the one to fight Ichika! Thomas soon learns that his natural talents might not be enough to help him this time!

Can Thomas find a way win? Or is he doomed to become an appetizer for Laura's hunger for revenge?

Thomas looked at the Tournament Match charts.

His heart stopped.

He and Nana were up against Laura and her randomly selected partner, Honne.

Nana and Thomas looked to their right, only to find Laura giving them the death stare.

Nana cowered behind Thomas, and Thomas gulped.

"This...Has just become a very dangerous situation." He said.

In the Locker Room...

Thomas was getting dressed in a brand-new prototype Pilot Uniform the Maintenance Department girls had made for him.

Instead of spandex shorts and a shirt, the new uniform was a morph suit, made with leather and spandex for protection and flexibility. The girls that made it called it an "Undersheath," as it was designed for the boys to use both as protection while piloting the IS Unit, and outside of it.

The suit was colored black and dusty rose accents, since the girls didn't have time to add colors or themes to the suit. The suit covered everything to halfway up his neck, and the base digits of his fingers.

Although the girls were reluctant to make it, since they enjoyed looking at Thomas's skin, they made the suit to the best of their ability.

Plus, it felt a lot less exposing for Thomas.

However, the Maintenance Department made the suit on such a short notice, and weren't able to make a proper suit.

Thomas reminisced about his first fight with Laura.

Back then, Laura and Cecelia were fighting him at the same time. However, this time Laura was fighting him with a random girl that picked out of a crowd. This was indeed a relief for Thomas.

He could tell she was absolutely pissed at Ichika. That anger would cloud her judgement, giving him the mental upper-hand.

However...

Laura was a kind of Pilot who would be capable of winning through sheer willpower alone. Her drive was simply unstoppable in that state.

At best, The easiest chance of winning would be to beat Honne allowing both Nana and Thomas to fight Laura instead of fighting individually.

There was still a high chance of losing.

Laura was a lot more determined than the first time they fought. Should Thomas make so much as a single mistake, Laura would take full advantage and utterly crush him without respite.

Nana wouldn't last long against Laura on her own.

Nana was easily scared by the girl, combined with the fact that Nana also wasn't skilled enough to handle Laura. Should Nana find herself up against Laura on her own, she'd most likely lose very quickly.

Thomas sighed.

This was going to be a very close match for them.

In the Arena...

Laura and Honne stood on the floor of the Arena as they waited for their opponents.

Honne didn't have a Personal Unit, and was piloting an Uchigane provided by the Academy.

"So," Honne tried to break the ice, "Um...You excited?"

"I vill crush zhem, zhey vill not get in my vay."

Honne began to sweat.

"Yeah..." She cheered nervously.

Chifuyu and Alex stood in the Control Room with Maya.

"Bodewig's going to be a challenge for Scott." Stated Chifuyu.

"Are you sure Ma'am?" Inquired Maya, "Considering most of her anger is oriented towards Orimura for not teaming-up with her, I'd say that Scott won't need to to beat her."

"That's just it," Explained Chifuyu, "Bodewig's sole motive is that she wants to fight Orimura..."

Chifuyu looked into the Arena as Thomas and Nana entered the Arena, taking their positions.

"...She's going to crush anything that stands in her way."

1 Minute to the Match Start...

"You vill not stand in my vay, Scott!" Shouted Laura.

"Oh yeah?" Sassed Thomas, "Then change directions!"

Laura growled, brimming with anger.

"Tommy," Pleaded Nana, "Can we please not antagonize the scary monster?"

"I'll take Laura, you take Honne."

"Uh...Right..." Nana whimpered.

"I've dealt with her before," Assured Thomas, "Last time, all I had was an Uchigane. But now..."

He locked eyes with Laura as the timer counted down.

"...Now I've got a whole lot more."

10...

The audience fell silent.

9...

Thomas did his best to ease his nerves.

8...

Alex was ready to cheer his son on the moment the match started.

7...

Laura took up a fighting stance, doing her best to prepare for anything Thomas would try.

6...

Honne was getting nervous as the timer ticked down.

5...

Laura had her AIC ready for use at the drop of a dime.

4...

The audience held their collective breath.

3...

Thomas relaxed his shoulders.

2...

Laura and Thomas gave each other determined glares.

1...

It was time.

The bell sounded off, and the first match of the Tag-Team Tournament had begun.

The audience erupted with cheers and shouts as the combatants began.

Laura and Thomas rushed each other.

Thomas burst forward with an Ignition Boost, and skated his way towards Laura.

Laura tried to close the distance and stop Thomas with the AIC before he could get away. Thomas foresaw this, and launched into a flying jump over Laura just before he was in range.

He landed, and attempted to take Laura in a Sweeping Roundhouse Kick at her feet.

However, Laura seemed far more advanced than she was the first time they fought.

Without warning, Laura spun around and hit Thomas with a Roundhouse Kick to his head, quickly sending him then used her AIC to lock him in place, quickly firing a round from her Railgun. She finished off her combo by snagging Thomas's wrist with Wire Daggers, and yanking him back to her with a powerful Haymaker to send him flying back down the field.

"I've improved myself since our last fight!" Declared Laura, "Zhanks to a new Data Package, Odin's Eye, I'm now on par vith your speed!"

"Really?" Said Thomas, writhing from the devastating blows to his head, "Looks like I have to take you serious for once!"

Laura growled.

Was Thomas implying he wasn't trying in their last fight?

Thomas suddenly began to skate circles around Laura, slowly minimizing the radius around her.

Without warning, he stopped right behind her, unleashing a massive gust of wind to his right.

Laura turned around...

...Only to realize Thomas wasn't going to let her breath.

Thomas snatched Laura by the shoulders, and brought down a powerful headbutt as he smashed his forehead against hers.

Laura was disabled by an attack from Thomas's strong skull, and unable to save herself from a combo attack of his own.

Thomas used his thrusters for quicker attacks, suddenly kicking Laura behind her knee, wrapping his arms around her right shoulder, and rolling over her.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he tossed Laura like a football.

"Get bent!" He shouted.

He then deployed a Shotgun, and blasted her relentlessly as she fell to the ground.

Laura jumped back to her feet, her face twisted with rage.

She would not allow Thomas to stand in her way.

Nana, despite her very powerful Geargaia, found she was having big trouble in facing Honne.

"Here I come!" Honne cheered, as she hacked away with the Uchigane's Katana.

Nana panicked and put up a very weak defense.

She did her best not to let Honne break through, but found her efforts were for naught as Honne managed to tower over Nana and push her to the ground.

"I'm not even that good of a pilot, Nana-Nana!" Teased Honne.

Nana felt she was about to wet herself.

Laura brought out her Beam Sabers, and quickly tried cutting Thomas down.

She hacked at Thomas, only to be met with a quick brush from Thomas's Combat Knife.

The two traded blows as the crowd's noises intensified.

Thomas was distracted by the sudden booming, and left himself vulnerable.

Laura quickly overpowered Thomas, forcing him onto his back.

She sat on top of him as she tried to move in such attack in such a manner that would activate the Absolute Defense and disqualify him.

Laura brought her right Beam Saber near Thomas's neck.

However, Thomas shoved it aside and forced Laura off of him with a Left Hook, following up with a shove that dumped Laura on her face, quickly deactivating her Beam Sabers in the process.

Thomas rolled to his feet, and Laura did the same.

For a few moments, Honne was completely distracted by watching Thomas and Laura she forgot she was fighting as well.

Nana closed her eyes and cried as she frantically pulled out whatever gun she could and opened fire upon Honne. In her panicked frenzy, Nana wound up unleashing her entire arsenal upon poor Honne. This sent the girl into a wall, reeling from the explosive offense.

This put Honne already in a critical position.

Laura didn't notice, focusing her attention on Thomas completely.

"I prepared for zhis encounter!" Stated Laura, "I've vatched footage of your fights, studied your every move!"

"Did you now?" Said Thomas, "Then I'll just keep you guessing!"

Thomas suddenly turned around, and flew right for the Arena wall.

With incredible reflexes, Thomas jumped and quickly began to stick onto the Arena dome!

Laura was dumbstruck, but not shaken.

Thomas sent a blitz her way as he skated across the dome.

Laura narrowly dodged, firing her Railgun in retaliation.

Thomas dropped down from the top of the dome to avoid her shots.

The moment Thomas landed, he closed the gap between him and Laura, and began to trade blows with her once more.

Laura quickly brought out her Beam Sabers, since Thomas didn't deploy any of his defensive equipment.

However, she didn't account for Thomas having other techniques.

The moment she went in to jab him, he brushed her with an arm block.

Just as he did, however, he suddenly deployed his Barrier Shield, completely throwing Laura off-balance!

In the Pit Control Room...

"What did Scott just do?" Inquired Maya.

"Hey...I remember that!" Said Alex.

"Explain." Said Chifuyu.

"Well," Said Alex, "It's this move he used in an old video game. Essentially, it was to use a shield to block an attack just as it connected, negating the attack and stunning opponents. It's called the 'Just Shield.'"

"The Just Shield, hm?" Repeated Maya, "Interesting. Scott's been practicing on timing deployments with Quantum Conversion to repel opponents' attacks."

"He's mastering techniques like picking up something on impulse buy at a gas station." Observed Chifuyu.

"Then again," Said Alex, "You say that like you didn't see this coming."

Back in the Arena...

"Impressive," Said Laura, trying to save her dignity, "But it vill take much more zhan zhat to shock me!"

"Shock, huh? Bet. Charge Level 7!" Said Thomas, activating the Shock Glove.

With a mighty slap, he sent a short electric burst into the Schwarzer Regen, quickly putting the Unit into a seizure.

"Is that what you were looking for?" Taunted Thomas.

Laura growled again as the Schwarzer Regen recovered.

She then proceeded to beat Thomas senseless.

Nana had finally calmed down as she saw Thomas getting thrown all the way across the Arena and into a wall.

Thomas groaned as he tried to recover from Laura's tantrum.

Nana noticed Laura advancing on Thomas.

Scared as she was, she had to stop Laura.

Nana knew she was no match for the German Uber-Soldier, but also understood that she'd be able to buy time for Thomas to get back on his feet.

"Hey!" Nana called timidly, "S-Scary German Girl!"

Laura reared her head with rage as she locked eyes with Nana.

The time seemed to stop as Nana realized what she just did.

Nana couldn't hold it back anymore.

She then realized she wet herself.

"You are nothing more zhan a mere sacrifice to slate my hunger!" Boomed Laura as she lunged for Nana.

Nana screamed in terror as Laura came at her head-on.

She then closed her eyes and began to sob hysterically as she opened fire on Laura.

Laura simply stopped her projectiles with her AIC.

Nana pulled out her Guass Cannon, and fired over and over as soon as the weapon recharged from the previous shot.

Laura found it quite easy to sidestep the attacks as they came.

It didn't take very long for Laura close the distance between her and Nana.

Nana cowered in complete fear as she curled into a ball and bawled hysterically.

Laura didn't really care.

Nana was in her way.

Laura activated the Schwarzer Regen's Panzer Cannon, deploying twin Railguns on both of her shoulders.

Nana looked, and passed out with utter terror as she once again soiled herself.

"Hmph!" Laura grunted as she turned her attention back to Thomas.

The audience was in suspense as they felt the fight was already nearing its end.

Thomas finally emerged from the crater in the wall, getting his bearings quickly.

"Give up!" Said Laura, "I've von!"

"It ain't over till someone's on the mat!" Said Thomas, as he quickly moved further away from the wall, trying to put distance between him and Laura.

"If I can get Laura away from Nana, I might be able to buy enough time for Nana to get back up." Thomas thought, "However, she just might pass out again. It looks like I'll have to finish this fight myself."

In the Pit Control Room...

"Does Scott have any sort of plan?" Inquired Maya.

"I don't know," Said Chifuyu, "Right now, he seems to be trying to draw Bodewig away from Parker. Technically, Parker's still in the match, since her Unit's Absolute Defense didn't activate, nor did Bodewig shut her down. If Parker can get back into the game in time, she could be able to overwhelm Bodewig with sheer firepower."

"I sense a 'but' coming." Commented Alex.

"But," Responded Chifuyu, "Considering Bodewig's little display of power, Scott is going to have a serious challenge trying to accomplish such a task like holding the line long enough for that to happen."

"Ye of little faith." Smirked Alex, "He's got this in the bag."

Back in the Arena...

Thomas was doing everything he could to keep Laura from doing anything.

He was currently drilling her midsection with a rush of cose-quarters gut-punches in an attempt to whittle down her shield.

Laura knocked him away with her Wire Daggers, attempting to restrain and keep Thomas from moving.

She threw him back, and released him.

Thomas stood back up, quickly deploying he left Charged Particle Cannon and charging it as fast as he could.

Laura saw the weapon, and quickly stopped him by swinging a Wire Dagger right across his thigh and into the barrel of the Cannon, causing it to ignite and backfire right into itself. Thomas stumbled to his right as the Wire Dagger yanked him off-balance.

The Charged Particle Cannon imploded, and blew the Wire Dagger right out of the now-smoking barrel of the gun. Thomas could feel the heat of the exploded weapon as smoke trailed from the wreckage.

Thomas stumbled back, and assessed the damage, only to realize Laura had rendered the Cannon utterly useless.

"C'mon...This'll take forever to fix..." He grumbled.

Thomas quickly brought out his right Charged Particle Cannon in retaliation, only to have Laura whip him again across the belly.

The lashing had split open the outer-layer of the new Pilot Uniform.

"Maintenance Girls're gonna have a field day with me after this..." He growled.

Thomas fired the Charged Particle Cannon over and over in an attempt to hit Laura with speed over strength.

Laura used her AIC to block the attacks, and dropped the barrier as they dissipated. Thomas's distraction from the flaming Charged Particle Cannon opened up just enough time for Laura to take advantage.

Laura then deployed all 6 of her Wire Daggers, ensnaring Thomas by his torso, neck, and right arm.

She laughed mercilessly as she threw Thomas around the Arena.

Thomas activated his Shock Glove, and snatched the Wire Daggers with his free hand.

Laura could feel it course right through her as Thomas conducted electricity down the Wire Daggers and into the Schwarzer Regen itself.

"How shocking," Quipped Thomas, "Metal Wire Daggers make for damn fine conductors!"

However, Laura refused to release the Wire Daggers, turning their predicament into a game of chicken.

"I've got to get her off, but how?" Thomas pondered.

"Ish something zhe matter? You're pausing!" Laura taunted.

"Y'know," Said Thomas, "This reminds me of Iron Man 2 a little..."

Laura flinched in confusion.

Thomas knew what had had to do.

Getting to his feet, Thomas skated on the ground, purposely tangling himself further into the Wire Daggers!

Laura realized only too late what Thomas was trying to do.

The Schwarzer Regen's Wire Daggers were capable of lifting and throwing an IS Unit. However, Thomas was tangling the Wire Daggers up, not as a means of getting closer, but tying the Wire Daggers together in such a manner that would prevent her from controlling them!

Thomas got closer, step-by-step.

Laura deployed and charged her left Railgun, aiming right for Thomas.

Thomas also anticipated such.

Without warning, Thomas tilted to his right to open up his remaining Charged Particle Cannon, and blasted right through the Railgun's barrel, igniting and exploding the barrel and flaring up right in Laura's face!

Laura yelped as she began to clumsily stumble back in pain. However, the Wire Daggers tangled around Thomas caused her to trip and fall on her rear as she writhed with agony, pulling Thomas down to the ground with her.

Thomas shifted, untangling the Wire Daggers as they retracted back to the Schwarzer Regen, allowing him to jump and flip over Laura and avoid falling on top of her.

Thomas backed away to put distance between them as Laura scrambled to her feet.

"Y'know," He suggested, "You can always just back off. Not saying you would, but you should and could."

"I vill claim victory!"

"I humbly accept your surrender."

"Was?" Inquired Laura, looking at Thomas as though he was stupid, "I did not-"

"-I know." Interjected Thomas, "But really? You're just mad 'cause Ichika didn't team up with you!"

"Jah!" Answered Laura, "I vill punish my bride for rejecting me!"

"One problem with that," Reminded Thomas, "I'm still standing."

"Tch!" Snarled Laura.

"It probably hasn't occurred to you yet," Explained Thomas, "But this whole time, I haven't been going all-out. Really! I haven't used any of my Shifts, nor the Overcharge! So it's kinda embarrassing how much of a hassle this is for you, especially since this is pretty much our rematch!"

"Zhis doesn't count towards zhat!" Denied Laura, "I am fighting you for a different reason!"

"Coulda fooled me."

"Get out of my vay!" Laura demanded as she tried to rush Thomas.

Thomas made a Rapid Switch for one of his Grenade Launchers, and fired at his feet.

Suddenly, Laura's vision was enveloped with smoke!

"Oh yeah," Thomas's voice echoed, "I might've modded my gear with a few parlor tricks..."

Laura growled.

"Come out and fight like a man!" She commanded.

The smoke dissipated, revealing Thomas standing a veritable distance away from Laura.

"Any chance I could convince you to come over here and fight me like a woman?" He taunted.

Everyone remembered full well that Thomas was trying to be nostalgic, as he said such a thing back in his first fight against Laura.

Laura screamed and began to skate right for Thomas.

Thomas made no move whatsoever.

In the Pit Control Room...

"He's laid a trap. Right now he's baiting her to walk straight into it." Stated Chifuyu.

"How can you tell?" Inquired Maya.

"Isn't it obvious? Why else would he just stand there?"

"That smart sonuvagun..." Muttered Alex with a smile.

"Well," Commented Chifuyu, "Doesn't that just speak volumes about you?"

"I'd like to think it does."

"He's playing on Bodewig's sheer will to win." Explained Chifuyu, "She doesn't understand how quick Scott really is. Sure, her Data Package, 'Odin's Eye' may allow her to keep up with him in close-quarters, but she doesn't know about his natural talents..."

Maya was left confused.

"What 'natural talents' are you referring to, Ma'am?" Inquired Maya.

"Something his mother passed onto him." Answered Alex.

Neither Chifuyu nor Alex would tell Maya what they meant.

Back in the Arena...

Laura skated head-on at Thomas.

Without warning, the ground in front of Laura exploded with dust and concussive force, completely throwing Laura off-guard!

"Vhat?!" She cried.

"Oh yeah..." Smirked Thomas, "I should've mentioned; I've littered the ground with all kinds of nasty little traps, so why don't you ignite those little boosters of your and fly on over to me?"

"Pah! As if I'd fall for zhat!" Sneered Laura, "You've most likely already set up booby traps in zhe air as vell!"

"You've figured me out," Admitted Thomas, "You know me far too well, Laura Bodewig."

Thomas was, in truth, lying right through his teeth.

"Good, she bought the lie," Thought Thomas, "I only booby-trapped the ground. The Schwarzer Regen's got good speed as well, so an aerial defense would most likely fail. I don't have enough time, munitions, or power to waste on strategies that may-or-may-not get results. Every little thing matters now."

Laura deployed her right Railgun, attempting to take Thomas with a high-power shot at mach 7 to finish him before he could see a thing.

Thomas had already caught on.

He fired a barrage of missiles, and quickly brought up his Barrier Shields to block Laura's shot.

The shot bounced off and struck the wall behind Thomas, the shell clattered to the floor.

Laura narrowly brought up her AIC in time to block the oncoming barrage.

The two stared at each other.

Neither moved an inch, as they were both trying to come up with a surefire strategy that would ensure victory.

At the rate things were, the end of the fight would be very far away, if an end came at all.

Laura got an idea.

she suddenly aimed for the ground between them, and fired.

Within seconds, the ground suddenly lit up with a massive chain of explosions! The reaction left a massive cloud of dust in place of the field.

"Fuck." Thomas cursed under his breath.

Laura laughed.

"Vhat's vrong?" She taunted, "Can't keep up?"

Laura then skated through the dust towards Thomas, not giving him any time to answer.

Thomas had to think fast.

He'd modified about 25% of his whole arsenal, but that simply wasn't enough to stand up Laura.

Thomas began to pull back as he quickly began to look through his Weapons List.

"Grenades...Rockets...PDW...Shotgu-"

Thomas froze mid-sentence.

"That's not supposed to be there."

Thomas was looking at a very specific weapon. It wasn't supposed to be in his arsenal, let alone in his IS Unit whatsoever.

Laura nearly got within range to stop Thomas in his tracks with her AIC.

Thomas shook out of his shock and began to think of some sort of way to win.

Laura was trying to match him in terms of close-quarters and processing speed, and for the most part, she'd been able to keep up a little against Thomas's quick thinking and improvisational skills.

Thomas deployed a Rocket Launcher, and fired a tracking rocket at Laura.

Laura stopped in her tracks as she deployed the AIC to block it.

"That's right!" Thought Thomas, "She can't move while she uses the AIC, making her a sitting duck! But that still means I have to find a way past that barrier while she's using it..."

Laura quickly dropped the barrier and chased Thomas.

Thomas finally got an idea.

He slowed down, allowing Laura to catch up.

Laura prepared to re-deploy the AIC...

...But Thomas was banking on the fact that she'd do so.

Laura outstretched her hand. Moments before Laura could activated the AIC, Thomas activated the Revive's air-brake flaps, and kicked into the ground, causing him to jump into the air.

Thomas jumped high enough, and Laura went right past him!

She activated the AIC, freezing her in place.

Thomas seized the moment.

With a mighty kick, Thomas hit Laura in the back, and ignited the Revive's thruster, sending Laura flying off her feet and onto her face.

Laura was utterly stunned!

She quickly rolled back onto her feet.

A quick check of the Schwarzer Regen's HUD revealed she'd been carelessly wasting power, dropping her Unit from 800% to a dismal 50% power.

Thomas had done his best to keep himself reserved, and currently had 150% power.

"Damn you..." Laura muttered under her breath.

Thomas Rapid Switched to both of his PDWs, and opened fire upon Laura.

Laura pulled away, knowing that deploying her AIC would end up causing her to lose.

Essentially, anything she did now would most likely end wit her losing.

But Thomas never gave up when the odds looked slim, so she wouldn't either.

Laura rushed Thomas, her fists at the ready.

Thomas recalled his PDWs, and quickly met Laura head-on.

With unprecedented speed, Thomas utterly pulverized Laura with an attack rush straight from his fists!

"ORA!" He shouted, his fists blurred as they moved almost too fast to see.

Laura was helplessly juggled in the air as Thomas relentlessly fired away.

Thomas wound up, deploying his Shield Pierce for a finisher.

"Shield Pierce!" He shouted, "Half Release!"

And with a destructive Haymaker, Thomas sent Laura flying across the Arena.

Laura's shield dropped to 0.

The bell sounded, and the match was over.

Nana was still out cold from fainting.

Honne went to go return the Uchigane.

Laura recalled the Schwarzer Regen, and grumbled.

Thomas stood straight, and let his shoulders drop as he took a long breath.

"That was too close." He muttered to himself.

Thomas left the Arena, quickly scrolling through his arsenal, searching for the one weapon he'd been distracted by minutes before.

Some time later...

The Tournament had gone smoothly so far.

Ichika and Thomas had yet to talk to each other since they woke up. Neither of them were really completely ready to apologize for their argument the night before. Neither of the boys had actually seen each other since Ichika left the dorm room in a hurry that morning.

Nana was in the Infirmary as she slept peacefully.

Laura was currently sulking about, saddened by her loss.

Thomas noticed Houki had a very sinister look on her face as she read the match flow chart.

He soon discovered she had the next match against Ichika.

However, it seemed fate had other plans in store.

In the Pit Control Room...

"Ma'am!" Cried Maya.

"What is it?"

"We've got multiple IS Unit signatures moving at high speeds, headed right for the Academy!"

"What?!"

"From what we have, it looks to be about 15 signatures!"

"Cancel the Tournament!"

Alex turned to Chifuyu.

"Chifuyu, I can help-"

"No." Interjected Chifuyu, "Your involvement will only complicate things. However, if the situation deteriorates to such a level, you can intervene."

"...Fine." Alex grumbled.

Chifuyu rested a hand on Alex's shoulder.

"Trust me," Said Chifuyu, "They can handle this."

Alex looked out the window, his eyes scanning the sky.

He then saw gradually increasing dots.

"Good luck, son." He whispered to himself.

A/N: And done! This chapter was actually a bit earlier than my usual release schedule, but I hope it's worth it! Anyway, this one's a bit of a two-parter, since the next chapter is something of a rendition of Infinite Stratos 2, Episode 9.

I'll get started on that as soon as I release this!

But what unique weapon could Thomas have discovered in his arsenal? That's going to be revealed next chapter!

Anyway, I'm starting to draft the Halloween Special Chapter as well, so here's to hoping it works out well too!

In upcoming chapters, Phantom Task's going to attempt yet another abduction attempt on Thomas! However, how that all will go down will be revealed in time. I'll also create a profile for Kana's IS Unit as well.

There's so much I'm looking forward to in the next few chapters, I hope you are too!

Next Time: Back to Back, Shoulder to Shoulder.

A group of unknown IS Units have attacked out-of-nowhere!

The Representative Candidates must work together if they hope to stop the attack. But with all the confusion and danger around them, Thomas and Ichika quickly find themselves cut off from the others!

Can the two friends bury the hatchet, and work together?

Leave a review, they're much appreciated and show that you care!
