AN: Well, I have no idea why I wrote this and I also know very little about Infinite Stratos so I'm basically do what I'll always do when it comes to this: research, research, research, if I feel like it or just wing it. Anyway, here is what will probably just amount to a oneshot since I can't really find much reason to continue it.


"Are you done shooting me yet?" Ichika Orimura called out to his opponent as he slowly pulled himself out of the wall his opponent's latest shot had sent him crashing into, wincing as his sore body was forced to move as another shot came down in answer, something he narrowly dodged.

"Ready to give up yet?" Cecilia Alcott looked down at him literally, she was a good twenty or so meters above him, not counting the large distance between the two of them since her IS was a Long-Range Specialist, to her such a distance between them was either an assured victory or defeat if he managed to close it, something very unlikely, borderline impossible at this point. "Admit your defeat and I may not embarrass you that much more."

"Well I guess this is going to hurt for a little while longer." Ichika slowly moved out into the middle of the arena, Cecilia still too far away for him to even consider making a charge against Blue Tears. It also didn't help that his personal IS had to have been running late since he was stuck out in a training version, something that made his fight with Cecilia only that much more difficult.

'Okay, time to think. I am going to lose instantly if I charge her, she'll use all that time to line up a shot and take out the rest of my shields but if I keep where I am she'll eventually just wear them out anyway. Oh man, this is impossible! If I charge I lose but if I stay where I am I'll lose. There's no way to win!'

"So, why is he just standing there?" a curious student asked her teacher, Chifuyu Orimura, both Ichika's sister and her homeroom teacher.

"He's having another of his moments I suppose, something I swore I be-I mean taught him to stop doing." Chifuyu's almost slip was met with a somewhat incredulous look from both her nearby students who managed to hear it and her assistant Maya Yamada.

'She may not have been the best person to leave a chi-' Maya's thoughts were interrupted when Ichika failed to dodge another laser from Cecilia and ended up hitting the wall beneath them and he let out a groan as he pulled himself free from it.

"Are you ready to give up yet Orimura?" Cecilia was already lining up her next shot, an arrogant smirk on her face with good reason. A few more well placed shots would finish off Ichika and they both knew, his shields were pathetically low at this point and nothing short of a miracle would let him even hit her.


"What are the odds that Chi-chan's little Ichi-kun makes it through this fight?"

"Response: Prefight Analysis: 28% chance of victory, currently it is less than 13% from analysis of his current state."

"Well, that wouldn't be fun. Access Prototype and input personal coding for Ichika Orimura, developed by my fabulous self of course."

"Accessing current IS of Subject: Ichika Orimura."


Ichika dodged Cecilia's next shot, surprising himself and his surprise was enough for a second shot to strike him, sending him plummeting down for a moment before he managed to stop himself and quickly shoot himself back to his previous height, narrowly avoiding smashing into the ground and probably getting shot again.

'She's going to win this, there really is nothing I can do.' Ichika sighed as he realized he was going to lose before he saw Cecilia taking aim again, this one undoubtedly to end the pitiful match she had let continue for so long. 'In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have accepted this match, I was only even in an IS once before this fight.'

"I really don't think I want to be Class Representative now that I think about it." Ichika dodged Cecilia's next shot, surprising the UK native, as the teen used her shock to his advantage, charging her with little regard for the outcome. "But I can't just let what you said about Japan go I guess!"

'Please let this work.'


"Prototype Accessed: Inputting Coding: Ichi-kun."

"Oh I know Chi-chan will just love me for giving her little brother this one!"

"Response: Not likely Creator."

"Shut up! Now begin the download!"

"Download has already completed. Configure IS System Raiden with current IS, Status: Prototype, of Subject: Ichika Orimura?"

"Yes!"

"Configuring."


In the middle of Ichika's charge, he froze as not only did a burning pain suddenly rip through him but his IS seemed to shut down as it rapidly plummeted to the ground as his sister merely watched him, perhaps knowing what was happening when the IS suddenly reactivated and quickly covered Ichika in what many would describe as a metal shell with red electricity flowing over it erratically, enough to stop anyone from going near him. At least it appeared to be so as she merely sighed as she shook her head.

"Why now of all times?"


"Configuration Complete."

"Yes...it all shall be completed now...MY GREAT PLAN!"

"Response: You scare me Creator."

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Restructured Response: You terrify me Creator."

"MY GREAT PLAN, phase 1, WILL BE COMPLETE SOON!"

"Error."

"WHAT!"

"Error detected. Configuration failed."

"Why? I already handled the bug!"

"Error. Rebooting IS Raiden."


In the IS Academy, Ichika struggled to free himself from his suddenly closed IS, unable to move for the most part as he dropped to the floor, the IS completely encasing him and his struggles, however weak there were, were quickly proved worthless when he found himself completely encased by the time he hit the floor. As if to make matters worse, the IS began tightening around him, already closed and now it looked like he was going to be crushed. Well that was his thought before he felt something begin covering his feet, what seemed to be water. It looked like he was going to drown instead, an equally as unpleasant option as being crushed by a malfunctioning IS.

"Let me out of this thing!" Ichika would have been banging on the metal around him if he didn't find his hands still locked in the IS, the same with his feet as he felt something press against his back next, something that was cold and seemed almost like a backpack without straps just before he felt something clamp down across his chest even as whatever was at his feet began rising. Now knowing whatever it was definitely wasn't water as he felt his feet become encased in something, something cold that was tight against his skin, Ichika furtively began to struggle again, something stopped when red electricity raced across his body, bringing an odd tingling sensation across his body before it caused a paralyzing effect as he found his body unresponsive now.

'What's going on!' Ichika panicked when whatever was happening reached his face, something covering it despite the liquid just being at his waist, quickly working up to his eyes and then there was nothing but a blinding pain that wouldn't stop as he felt as if knives were being driven into his eyes at the same time the same sensation ripped through his body in waves as whatever was on his back seemed to expel the same liquid like material that first appeared at his feet, quickly covering his entire body in the same material the liquid had left behind as it rose.

It was over in moments, the feeling of his entire body covered still there but the pain was gone but there was something more important than that. It was a feeling he never thought he would be able to experience, something he thought only someone like his sister, Houki, or even Cecilia would ever understand, would ever get to experience. It was the feeling of completeness, of being one with your IS that he was feeling now and something he didn't want to lose now. It felt as if a piece of himself he was missing was finally back even if he never realized it was missing. It was as if he had been missing it all this time yet never knew, never even knew it had existed until now, this feeling of completion responsible for finally telling him what he had lived without for so long, something that now seemed impossible.

'This feeling...' Ichika let out a sigh, one of content as he held onto this odd but pleasant feeling that seemed to cover him, stemming from the odd covering encasing his entire body at this point, something not so unpleasant anymore. Now, it was more comforting than anything else, that feeling of being complete still there as well as being protected but there was also something else, something he couldn't describe that felt both foreign and natural at the same time, like it belonged but didn't belong if that made any sense.

'Is this what all those girls feel?' Ichika couldn't help but ask as he thought of all of the girls in the academy and all of the women around the world with Personal IS. Being able to experience a feeling like he was right now was nearly indescribable, trying to even begin to explain it would be impossible.

'No, no, it's different.' Ichika came to that realization as he felt something he never really felt before.

'This...this desire is different...this desire isn't normal...' Ichika slowly rose to his feet, pulling away the suddenly brittle remnants of the IS around him as he slowly pulled himself free, his mind elsewhere as everything in front of him came into view.

Particularly the fact that Cecilia had her rifle lowered, pointed at him along with her four Bits above him, targeting him from the looks of it and seemingly ready to fire along with the UK Representative if the growing light from the barrel of her rifle was any indication of what was to come.

'That doesn't matter now.'

Ichika didn't know how but he knew where the blade was and so slowly drew it off of his back, mindful of the sharp edge the blade held as lightning seemed to race up and down it as he held it out in front of him, falling into a basic kendo stance Houki had drilled into him while he was practicing for the fight. Something that became very useful as a wave of information hit him, correcting his stance even as he remembered Houki's many "lessons" throughout their training and the time he had to prepare.

"It looks like you did have a Personal IS after all but it won't help you at this point however strange it may be." Cecilia took careful aim, circling around him as the Bits above him would surely keep him from taking off and leave him an easy shot for her to finish the match. "Even if you decided to drop that pathetic disguise now, it won't save you now. If you try to get in the air I'll shoot you down before you get far."

"I highly doubt that." Ichika didn't bother looking up at her as he whipped his sword down to his side as he held up one hand, three fingers held up. "It'll take me no more than three minutes to end this fight now."

"Enough talk." Cecilia didn't waste any more time, firing another shot, this one made to end the battle when Ichika simply vanished from his spot on the ground, appearing on top of one of her Bits, his sword held out at his side as the Bit split in two, straight down the middle as Ichika tensed before leaping to the next, simply a streak of silver as he appeared for only a moment at the next one, seemingly floating in the air next to it before the second Bit fell into pieces as it dropped out of the air. The last two bits flew high up to Cecilia as she observed Ichika with analytical eyes, leveling her rifle towards him as her two remaining Bits circled around her as she flew higher.

"I take it your IS should be made for Close Quarters combat then?" Cecilia, even as she spoke, kept her eyes focused on Ichika's blade, electricity racing up and down it as he dropped back to the ground, mindful of what the weapon could do with the boy related to a woman who rose to fame by using a sword with her IS.

"No idea but I just need the sword to beat you. I'll figure out what this thing can do after this." Ichika's words were met with a glare from Cecilia as she merely took aim with her rifle.

"I highly doubt that." Cecilia fired, several times in rapid succession, ensuring that Ichika would be finished and she would be the Class Representative instead of some no talent man who was only admitted because he was such a rare case, people like him had no true skill, unlike someone like her. She was an A-Class Pilot and one of the best at the school, proven even more so by her status as the UK Representative at the Academy as well as her Personal IS. When you compared someone like her to someone like Ichika Orimura, at best only riding on the coattails of his sister's fame, he was nothing. He didn't deserve to be the Class Representative, such an incompetent Pilot would destroy the school's reputation if she allowed something like that to happen.

For Ichika, the world seemed to slow down as the red electricity that had frozen his body when he was trapped in the IS suddenly arched across his body, bringing a sudden clarity to him as he simply sidestepped the lasers, the world speeding up back to normal as they hit the ground. He allowed himself a small grin at Cecilia's shock as he seemed to have dodged the shots without difficulty, a vast difference from when he could barely avoid them when she was hardly serious about the fight. Now through he seemed to have grown in skill by leaps and bound, something that shouldn't be possible unless-

'Of course, he must have been trying to trick me this entire time. Slowing abysmal skills in a attempt to draw me closer. He must think he can win at close range, not knowing I've already prepared for this.' Cecilia took another shot with her rifle, Ichika once again dodging it by sidestepping it before a second slammed into his shoulder but it hardly budged him, doing almost no damage to him.

"Nice try Alcott." Ichika's voice seemed to scream that he was smirking as the electricity racing across his body dimmed. "But it's going to take more than that to stop me!"

"Let's see how much you can take then!" Cecilia fired off several shots in rapid succession, Ichika dodging them all before a final shot aimed for his head, stopped by the flat of the blade in his hand, the move almost lazy as he seemed to be disappointed at the battle.

"How sad." Ichika let out a sigh of what seemed to be disappointment as he sheathed his blade across his back. "I expected better aim from someone like you."

"I'll sh-" Cecilia's next move was interrupted when several knives, glowing red hot, would have buried into the leg of the IS if not for the shield, something that rapidly depleted as it deflected the knives.

"Be quiet!" Ichika didn't move his hand from where it had ended once he had thrown the knives at Cecilia, an anger not fitting to him suddenly filling his voice as the armor covering his face slid away, going onto the side of his head as burning red eyes locked with Cecilia's blue eyes, the girl shocked as she could have sworn his eyes were dark brown before, something many could say the same but now they were like the color of blood.

"I am sick and tired of hearing you talk!" Ichika's rage towards Cecilia made his sister narrow her eyes as she looked over the odd IS, if it could even be called one after what she had observed and what she knew of that particular invention, that her brother had emerged in and a hope that her guess on how it had gotten onto him was wrong or else Cecilia was in massive danger, something she wasn't sure she could stop if it came to it.

'I guess I can only hope he can keep control of himself, something I doubt when it comes to that thing she created. Even I didn't manage to get control of it for the longest so I switched out with the other one at the last minute.'

"Now," Ichika crouched slightly as the armor slid back into place, completely covering his face behind a large black slanted visor across the upper half of his face while something like an armored mask covered the lower half of his face as he drew his sword off his back, red lightning beginning to race across his body and something seemingly coming from the sword in his hands to many of the onlookers. ",let's see what you've got!"

Showing that he wasn't as grounded as everyone though ever since he had began his counterattack, Ichika seemingly ran into the air, his sword easily sending away the several rapid blasts from Cecilia as she did her best to put as much distance between her and Ichika as possible. It was seemingly in vain as Ichika closed the distance as fast as she could make it as he began to laugh as Cecilia seemed to panic as he got closer and closer to her, showing no signs of stopping.

"OKAY! OKAY! You win!" Cecilia's words were met with an almost mad dismissal from Ichika as he continued to dodge her shots, not stopping his charge towards her in the slightest and instead seemingly increasing his speed, something that made Cecilia fire several more shots at him, shots that he dodged with what looked to be ease.

"That's not what I want!" the electricity across his body grew, the red electricity on his body seemingly increasing his speed as it doubled, the distance between the two now practically nothing.

"Get away from me!" Cecilia seemed to snap as the hidden Missile Pods she kept on her IS fired, hitting Ichika at point blank range and hopefully stopping him as she rose her rifle, panicked as she did her best to focus on the cloud of smoke in front of her.

"Hmm, that was better than I thought." Ichika walked out of the smoke, his sword held in one hand as the other pried away one half of the ruined visor from his face, showing an expression of half pain and half glee. "I never thought you had something like that literally up your skirt."

A steady stream of blood began to run down his face from his hair, Ichika clawed hands reaching up and chuckling as his hand came away smudged with a small amount of blood. His laughter only grew at the horrified expression on Cecilia's face as his hand reached up to rip away the other half of his ruined visor, more blood beginning to run down his face as he did so.

"I thought I could end you there but it looks like this is going to take a little while longer." Ichika's eyes gained a coldness that made Chifuyu narrow her eyes as she saw him raise his blade up, both hands on it and it held up at his side. "It looks like I'm going to have to take this seriously ."

'So, he was too weak in the end, it seems.'

'This feeling...'

Ichika charged then, dodging the next shot from Cecilia even as her Bits moved in front of him, firing off several weak shots that didn't get far as he knocked them aside with his sword. He rushed the two Bits with little thought, something that seemed to work as he didn't seem that worried when he was right in front of a Bit as his blade knocked away another shot from the IS attachment. His laughter growing as he dodged Ceclia's several rapid shots towards him, all of them weak and dispersed with ease by a single rapid slash from his sword. With little difficulty, he threw a set of glowing hot knives towards Cecilia even as he dodged a sudden increase in the number of shots each Bit fired, even if they were all pitifully weak.

"That IS, could it be? Did she really...No, not even she would do something like that." Chifuyu spoke mainly to herself, shaking herself of her thoughts as not even she would do something as crazy as give Ichika that IS, something that could potentially kill him, instead she focused her attention back on Ichika's mad charge towards Cecilia as a burning hot knife ripped through one Bit before his sword plunged into another, stopping their attack on him before Cecilia fired another shot at him, this one aimed at his head.

'...I...'

Ichika deflected it with his blade, sending it to the side and hitting the wall as he paused for only a moment.

"Looks like you only had enough for six Alcott. Shame for you that's all six then!" Ichika's grin widened at Cecilia's growing fear as he once again sheathed his sword, instead a knife slid into each hand, red electricity running down the glowing red super heated blades. "You're all out of tricks now."

'It looks like I was right.' Chifuyu frowned as she looked over Ichika, the half pained and half gleeful expression on his face hard for her to watch as he charged Cecilia, his knives flashing through the air as he knocked away her shots with ease.

'...it...'

Ichika's grin widened when he failed to fully dodge a laser he failed to deflect, it punching through the armor over the lower half of his left leg and making the male laugh at the pain ripping through him as his speed seemed to only increase as he ripped through the next laser with both knives before tossing them away and instead his hands reached for the sword at his side.

'...it...'

Ichika finally reached Cecilia, his grin almost maniacal as he stood with his sword held above his head clasped in both hands and prepared to end the girl in front of him.

"ICHIKA!" Chifuyu screamed at her brother, making him freeze as the red electricity covering his blade stopped, Ichika's body suddenly wracked with tremors as his maniacal grin was gone, replaced by an expression of pure horror as he looked at what he had nearly done, his senses finally coming back to him.

'This feeling...it makes me feel like a monster, like I'm a killer.'

'But I am.'

"ARGH!" Ichika's hands slipped from the blade to instead hold his head in his hands as he let out a scream of raw agony, the silver armor covering him seemingly dissolving as he continued to scream, holding his head in both hands as white hot agony ripped through him. The disappearance of the silver armor wasn't at the best time either as he quickly started falling and his impact with the ground wouldn't end well from how high he was, close to forty or so meters above the ground. He seemed mindless of the fact as he only kept screaming, curling into himself, his hands balling into fists in his changed hair. Since his armor was entirely gone, everyone present could now see the platinum silver hair he now sported instead of the black hair he once hand, Chifuyu would guess it was a side effect of the armor of that thing covering him after it managed to get into his IS, something that wouldn't have happened if his Personal IS hadn't been delayed.

'She must have planned it.' Chifuyu thought with some annoyance as both the delaying of his Personal IS as well as the only IS they could find being that specific Prototype lining up, something she should have noticed much earlier and called off the match until his IS had arrived, something that she now knew would never happen. It was probably never even constructed if she really was behind everything that happened.

"Ch-" Maya couldn't even finish a single word as Chifuyu was simply gone, encased in her Personal IS and already she had caught the falling Ichika, his screams only growing as Chifuyu showed some minor discomfort as she quickly flew back over to where she was standing and gently set Ichika on the ground, showing the very real wounds the armor had hidden once it had covered him and the reason for her discomfort as his body seemed to be in convulsions.

"What happened to him? The IS shielding should have prevented anything from actually hurting him." Maya stood above Chifuyu as she crouched down next to her brother, looking for something but seemingly not finding it as she instead moved to stop one of the many injuries Ichika had gotten from bleeding.

"The IS was tampered with, so was the Prototype." Chifuyu's words were only heard by Maya, her assistant nodding as she left, heading out the room.

'If I didn't know you better, I would be swearing to kill you now. Luckily, I do and so I'll only do my best not to break most of your bones. As long as he is okay after all this, if he isn't than I'll be coming for you.' Chifuyu pulled herself away from her vengeful thoughts as she instead focused on her brother as she did her best to stop him from hurting himself anymore than the match already did, something that would have been impossible in every IS but the one he had emerged in.

"Ichika...please be okay. Please, for your sister, be okay." the only answer to her words was a groan as pain seemed to continue to rack his body, something she couldn't tell the reason why.

"Chifuyu, how is he?" Houki Shinonono stepped past the gathered crowd around the only male student in the school, his body still shaking even if he stopped screaming, his hands held down by Chifuyu as she knelt next to him, softly whispering something to her little brother, something that seemed to calm him down as his body stopped it's violent shaking slowly, even if by only a little over the minutes after Chifuyu had brought him over and laid him down.

"Chifuyu-nee...please..." Ichika's body trembled as his sister struggled to keep him from hurting himself. "...it...it..."

"What happened to him out there?"

"I think he went crazy, men can't pilot an IS."

"Maybe's he's always been crazy I mean how else can a man pilot an IS?"

"But he didn't even have one, he had that weird armor on."

"Yeah, how are we sure he wasn't just faking it with that armor of his?"

"He must have been faking it all this time!"

"Shut up!" Houki turned to the crowd as they began to glare down at Ichika, some even moving towards him with nothing pleasant in mind. "Can't you idiots see he's in pa-"

"LET ME GO!" Ichika opened his shining red eyes, a positively murderous glare directed at his sister as he struggled to free himself from her grip. "LET ME GO! LET ME GO! LET ME GO!"

The same red electricity that raced across him when he was wearing the armor appeared across his body, making him scream as Chifuyu stubbornly held on as Ichika's red eyes seemed crazed to most around him, the crowd taking several steps back as he seemed to have lost it. That wasn't far from the truth as Ichika began screaming again as the electricity grew, forcing Chifuyu to step away from her screaming brother.

It seemed to be for the best as Ichika violently spasmed for a moment longer before becoming deathly still, the electricity gone and Chifuyu sighed in relief when nothing else happened, quickly picking up her brother and rushing from the room, no doubt heading to the infirmary with one thought on her mind as a certain conversation came to the forefront of her, something she was sure she had forgotten.

"Look a this Chi-chan! Isn't it just incredible!"

"It seems..."

"Awesome? Cute? Incredible?"

"Dangerous, look at it, it doesn't even have an energy shield like any other design."

"I know, that's why it's armor Chi-chan!"

"I don't know...perhaps we should try something else?"

"No! We're using this one!"

"Ta-"

"My name is THE GREAT TABANE!"

"...ugh, there's no winning when you're like this...fine, but gre-"

"THE GREAT!"

"...the great Tabane, I'm not going to get in this thing, it's too dangerous."

"Then maybe you're little brother can do it! Right?"

"If you drag him into this Tabane I can't promise you lasting long. I suggest you keep it away from him. Far away from him."

"Buzzkill, but, anyway, we can go with your plan, I'll scrap Raiden for now."

"Yes, the other models were more stylish as well."

"I'll get you in it one day Chi-chan."

"That isn't happening Tabane, not in this life."

"Then maybe your little brother when he's older, it seems to fit him better anyway."

"Tabane, what are you t-"

"I guess I'll just toss it out like the other ones."

"Good."

'Tabane, if you've hurt my little brother as bad as I think you did, I swear I will kill you. I don't care for your reasons, I told you to keep that thing away from him.'

Glancing down at her little brother in her arms, Chifuyu held back the desire to curse one of her oldest and once upon a time best friend. Now, she had more reason to hate her than anything else at what she had put her little brother through today.

"You didn't even fix it, did you?" She was talking to herself, she didn't expect an answer.

"That would be the correct answer." At the mechanical voice behind her she saw what looked to be a wolf but clearly mechanical at the same time due to it's sheer size, several times bigger than the average wolf but at the same time not an extremely large one either.

"Wolf." Chifuyu coldly regarded the mechanical beast in front of her, it's red optics focused on the teen in her arms.

"Knight." Wolf still responded to her voice pattern it seems, something she didn't know how to act about and whether to be happy or angry at such a thing. "Creator wishes for me to tell you it is nice to see you." It's whip like tail, tipped by something not out of place on a claw machine, seemed to idly twitch behind it but she knew better, it was ready to dart forward at a moment's notice and she could guess it's target. Ichika at best or the new addition she felt at his wrist, a gray and black metal vambrace on his right arm. "Do you have a response?"

"I think she already knows it Wolf." Despite herself, Chifuyu couldn't help but be somewhat amazed at the robotic animal in front of her, not at it's design but the almost human like mind behind it. Tabane had put her all into creating Wolf and it showed anytime she saw it. "Now, what are you doing here?"

"The Creator wishes for me to watch over Subject: Ichika." Wolf moved his red optics from Ichika to Chifuyu, staring into her eyes. "My primary directive has already been fulfilled."

"So you were the one who tampered with the Prototype then, right?" Chifuyu's question was met with a shake of Wolf's mechanical head.

"That is incorrect, I have never approached an IS Prototype on my current mission."

"And how long has that been?" She had to be sure, she couldn't let Wolf go without knowing for sure he didn't have anything to do with what happened to Ichika and that thing attached to him.

"Current duration is calculated at 26 days, 13 hours, and 45 seconds by internal systems." Chifuyu didn't hide her sign of relief as she glanced down to Ichika, her eyes drawn to the vambrace on Ichika's arm, the sign that thing had attached to him.

"Of course, so she's planned this on the fly I guess." Chifuyu didn't move her eyes off of Ichika even as the machine took a step towards her.

"Your analysis of Creator is likely correct." Wolf paused, merely observing the unmoving Chifuyu.

"Just tell me why you're here Wolf, what does she want you to do?"

"My secondary directive is that of Subject: Ichika Orimura."

"And what does that mean?" She needed to know what he would do before she could take her next step.

"Surveillance, protection, and maintenance when needed of Subject: Ichika Orimura's IS identified as Raiden."

"So she sent you to make sure he didn't lose it then?"

"Your analysis of Creator is likely correct." Wolf wasn't affected in anyway when Chifuyu held Ichika out to him.

"Then take him." Wolf obeyed, wordlessly wrapping it's whip like tail around Ichika's waist and settling him on his back.

"Thank you."

"Take care of him Wolf, I need to make sure he's safe when he wakes up." Without giving herself the opportunity to try and stop herself, she walked off.

"My new primary directive will be his safety." Pausing at his words, Chifuyu didn't face Wolf, knowing if she did she wouldn't be able to walk away.

"Thank you." Wolf turned away and raced off, Chifuyu composing herself before she managed to walk off, hoping that she could keep her brother safe.

He was already in danger due to being the only male ever able to us an IS but now his strange IS would only put him in more danger and put him in the eyes of many dangerous people, too many for Chifuyu's liking.

'Ichika, I promised to protect you and I will, just please be safe for now.' If she was lucky, Maya would have already gotten in contact with the right people and they would be on damage control for now or else Ichika wasn't going to wake up in the best of circumstances, most likely in some research center for IS as another experiment for the scientists there. 'Please let them have done their jobs.'

Her eyes hardened, promising pain. 'Or else I'll give them a good reason to start.'

She couldn't go back, she could only go forward and she would be damned if she lost her little brother to anything like this.


AN: Well, that's it...so this may go past a oneshot.

Peace.
