In a strange turn of events, the match between Davis and Sierra against Lita and Fria has been interrupted by the arrival of the strange and mysterious Harina. She was able to take down Fria and her I.S. so easily without one of her own.

"Lita, you better get out of here. I don't know who this girl is or what she wants, but I know it's not going to be safe." Davis said. "This girl means trouble."

"But what about you?" Lita asked.

"We'll be fine. I don't think you'll be able to slow her down with that I.S. of yours. Especially since you're out of power." Sierra said.

"That's okay. She doesn't have to go already." Harina said. "Play time is always more fun when there are more people. Since everyone else has their I.S., I suppose I should bring mine out as well." Harina was surrounded in a green glow and released her I.S. Harina's unit was mossy green, but thinner than most. It fit around her body perfectly and it was almost like she was on stilts and had longer arms. The most distinct feature was a series of mechanical snakes on her back with glowing red eyes. "This is my unit. It's called Orochi."

…..

Chifuyu

"What is that I.S.?! I've never seen one like it before!" Maya said. Chifuyu was just surprised as everyone else was, but she needed to hold a strong stance.

"Go to level C alert. We don't know enough about this woman or that unit of hers." Chifuyu said. Maya understood and began the emergency lockdown system with the stands being closed off.

….

The Arena

"What's going on?" Davis said.

"It's the alert system. This will keep innocent people safe from any threat or danger there is." Sierra said. "We'll have to hold her back until the instructors arrive." Sierra deployed some guns and held them out to Harina.

"Nice toys. Want to see min?" Harina said as she deployed a scythe into her hands. Sierra tried shooting at her, but Harina twirled the scythe around and deflected all the bullets. Sierra couldn't believe what she just witnessed. "Is that really all you've got? How boring?"

"How's this for boring?!" Davis said as he charged right at her. He swung his sword at her, but Harina was able to block his attack so easily.

"Aw. I was expecting you to have more power than that since you seem so special." Harina said. She pushed back and sent Davis up into the sky. She flew up to him and tried using her scythe against him, but Davis was able to block her attack. "I will admit that your I.S. does look super, super cool. I'm a little snake and you're a little dragon. How cute is that? Huh?"

'What is with this girl? She's incredibly strong, but she acts like she's five.' Davis thought. Harina had her snakes coil around Davis and latched around his I.S.

"I will admit that you are cute. Let's see how handsome you are when you're stripped." Harina said and her snakes started to squeeze around him.

"Let go!" Sierra said as she had some guns appear on her wings and started shooting at the snakes and got them to let go.

"Thanks, Sierra." Davis said.

"So you want to play too? Okay!" Harina said as she flew down to her and stretched her snakes around Sierra. She tossed Sierra aside and had her hit the wall.

"Sierra!" Davis shouted, but he was surprised to see the grapples from Fria come around his arms and was pulling him back. Davis turned around and saw Fria about to take aim with all her guns and cannon. "What are you doing? Can't you see that she's the enemy?"

"I will take down all my enemies and I don't care who is first." Fria said.

"But we're not enemies right now." Davis said, but Fria wouldn't listen. She was about to fire at him and Davis could get out of the way.

"I want to play too!" Harina said as she came at them and held her scythe to strike both of them, but Davis used that to his advantage. Davis positioned himself and had Harina slice right through the rope and got out of the way as fast as he could before Fria fired.

"Stay the hell out of the way!" Fria shouted as she fired her cannon at Harina, but Harina moved out of the way and avoided the blast. Davis tried attacking her, but she blocked his attack as well.

"You're all so lame. You're not bringing out the true potential of an I.S." Harina said.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Davis questioned.

"Never mind. Let's just continue to have fun." Harina said. Harina had her snakes coil around Davis again and tossed him against the ground. Then, she had them drag him against the ground in circles and was doing some damage. DemiVeemon wish he could go down there to help, but Davis doesn't have his digivice on him and DemiVeemon wouldn't even know how to fight a human.

"Davis, hang in there." DemiVeemon said. Harina tossed him away and he hit the wall with it dealing some damage. Harina was going to continue her attack, but she noticed Fria coming to attack her with her halberd, but Harina blocked that as well.

"If that didn't work when I didn't have my I.S. out, what made you think it would this time?" Harina said. This was becoming an insult to Fria's strength and she can't allow that to happen.

"Davis!" Lita called out as she ran to him. "Davis, you're not hurt are you?"

"What are you still doing here, Lita? It's not safe." Davis said.

"No. I'm not going to leave you like this." Lita said.

"I'm sorry, but you can't help." Davis said. Hearing him say that to her actually hurt her. She hated being helpless. "Sierra, get Lita somewhere safe while Fria and I handle this snake chick."

"I think we have other problems." Sierra said as she detected something coming their way. They heard something smash right through the barrier.

"Oops. Looks like fun time is over." Harina said as they all looked in the air. They saw another I.S. with another pilot. This I.S. was lavender with broad legs and arms with black hands and feet. It had wings connected to the pilot's back shaped like bat wings and had a couple mechanical balls attached to them with a harness going around the shoulders. The training attire was white with a pink diamond in the center and had purple stripes pointed at it under the shoulders. The pilot also had a purple visor covering her eyes and shown to be having purple hair tied into a tail.

"I came here to get you, Harina. What are you thinking coming here alone?" The mysterious pilot said.

"I just wanted to check the place out." Harina said as she pushed Fria out of the way. She flew up to the mysterious pilot and tried to act innocent. "I was looking to see if we have anyone here we could play with, but they appear to be all lame." They were about to leave, but the mysterious pilot sensed an attack coming. She saw Davis flying up to them with his sword ready to strike.

"You're not going anywhere!" Davis said. He swung Sutapisa at them, but the mysterious pilot pulled out a pair of axes and blocked his attack. Davis tried to get through, but she wouldn't move like she was an iron wall. "Who are you people?"

"That should be the least of your problems." The pilot said. Above the wings, the two spherical parts began to glow and blasted Davis hard and he was sent flying down.

'No way! That's the same attack Rin used against me!' Davis thought as he couldn't believe she was able to pull that off. Fria wasn't stopping either as she flew up to them.

"Gosh. These people just don't know when they're beaten. They're so silly." Harina said with some laughter. Fria was about to strike at the mystery pilot, but she removed her axes and brought out a broad sword-like weapon instead to block her attack.

"You academy fools. You have no idea how powerful what you have." The mystery pilot said and pushed the halberd out of the way and struck her. She flew down a few feet, but she wasn't going to give up. She was about to get back up there.

"Wait." Davis said as he grabbed a hold of her.

"What are you doing? Let go." Fria said.

"These two are powerful and dangerous. You need to calm down." Davis said.

"Enough of this." The mystery pilot said as she flew near them and used her cannons again at point-blank range.

"Look out!" Davis said as he turned around so he take the worst of it. An explosion went off in the air. Both Davis and Fria were shot out of the air and they both crashed into the ground.

"Davis!" Lita called out as she and Sierra ran to him. Both him and Fria were down and out for the count.

"Time to go." The mystery pilot said.

"Okay. It was getting boring anyway." Harina said. With that, both pilots flew off and were able to escape. Just who were the mysterious girls and where did their units even come from?

…

The Infirmary

Fria was taken to the infirmary so she could rest and get better. Fria was starting to wake up and saw where she was. She looked out the window and noticed the sun was going down indicating how long she's been out.

"You're awake." Fria looked to the side and saw Davis.

"You're here?" Fria said.

"Yeah. I wanted to make sure you were okay. That was a pretty hard hit we took." Davis said. "Those two we were fighting managed to escape." Fria remembered the last attack, but she also remembered that Davis should have gotten the worst of it.

"How are you still conscious?" Fria asked. "We both took that attack and we both took that fall. You should have gotten the worst of the attack. I also could have just used the A.I.C. to stop her."

"I guess I'm just lucky or something. As for that shield of yours, I just acted. Besides, that would have left you open for the other to attack." Davis said. "I talked to Kimi. She overheard you talking about your past. Your father sounds like the biggest jerk I've ever known. No parent should ever treat their child like that."

"I don't need your sympathy." Fria said.

"Fria, your father wasn't teaching you to be strong. He was teaching you how to be psychotic." Davis said. Fria didn't think so, but she saw how Davis was when they fought and how they fought those other two.

"Then, how are you so strong?" Fria said.

"I guess it's because I had my friends with me." Davis said, but Fria didn't understand. "My friends are important to me and I become stronger for them. You'll always be stronger if you fight for another rather than yourself. Friendship is what gives me my strength."

"I still don't understand." Fria said.

"I suppose in a literal sense, I'm strong because it boosts my morale and they help me out." Davis said. "In a more meaningful sense, it gives me a reason to fight harder. Having them with me in heart and spirit gives me strength to keep fighting. After hearing your life story, I'm hoping you'll change and we can be friends." No one has ever wanted to been that to Fria before. They heard the doors open up and saw Laura come on in. "Laura?"

"Hallo. Davis, would you mind if I speak to Fria in private?" Laura asked.

"Uh…sure. Only because I'm scared to say no to you." Davis said and left them.

"Hallo. My name is Laura Bodewig. It is a pleasure to meet you."

"What do you want with me?" Fria asked.

"I only wish to talk for you remind me of myself long ago." Laura said.

"Kakiye?" Fria said.

"I was once like you." Laura said. "I was cruel to my classmates and cared not if they got hurt. I hold connections to my countries military as well. So I have an understanding of what you might have went through, but that all changed."

"What happened?" Fria asked.

"I met Ichika Orimura. My mentor told me that if I am nobody, that's perfect. I can't be her." Laura said. "The same applies to you. Your father wished for you to be like him, but that can't happen."

"I still do not understand what you're trying to say." Fria said.

"All I'm saying is that you remind me of myself." Laura said. "You desire strength, don't you? Perhaps you need a different look at what strength is. A new way of looking at life. Take Davis for example. He took more damage than you did, but he awoke before you did. He even risked his life for yours despite what you did. I must also add that if you ever attack Ichika like that again, I will end you!" Her threat went unheard to Fria as she thought about Davis.

"Davis?" Fria said and thought about what he did and how strong he must be. "He certainly is strong. I wish to be strong like him for some reason." It was then that she realized something was different about her. "I think I'm becoming ill. My face feels warm and my heart rate is rising."

"Oh! That is no illness. Listen to me." Laura said.

…

Davis

Davis went to help himself to some dinner as he had some ramen with Sierra and Charlotte decided to join them.

"You still have your appetite it would seem." Charlotte said.

"So what went on with the tournament?" Davis said.

"They've decided to cancel it. Everyone fought a round and that was good enough for them." Sierra said.

"That's too bad. By the way, Sierra, thanks for all your help in there. I couldn't have done it without you." Davis said and Sierra blushed a little. "I know we're going to be great friends after this." Sierra thought so too and Charlotte was happy for her. Davis looked and noticed Lita. He got up and went over to her. "Hey, Lita. You doing okay?"

"Yeah. Sorry I wasn't much help earlier." Lita said.

"Don't worry about it. Sorry about shooting at you earlier and if I made you feel like you couldn't help." Davis said. Lita was grateful to hear something like that. "It's just that you couldn't help much anyway." That got him hit across the face.

"I should have known you say something like that!" Lita said and she kicked him right in the gut with her storming off.

"Oh, Davis." Sierra said.

"I wonder if you and Ichika do that on purpose." Charlotte said.

"Do what? What I say?" Davis said.

…

The Girls

"Aw! I was hoping that place would be more fun, but it's not." Harina said. She and the other girl retreated and were in a luxury suit. "Sorry you came for nothing, Marinda." Marinda was the other pilot that helped her. She was always in her training uniform with the rest of it having a couple more stripes on her shoulders and she wore purple heeled boots with it that went to her thighs with her wearing purple gloves that reached her forearms and wore a metal glove on her right hand.

"Forget it." Marinda said.

"It seems you two enjoyed yourselves." Both of them met an older woman. She had purple hair that spread over her shoulders. She wore a cranberry dress that had slits on both sides with a purple feathered boa. She also a gold chain necklace with some purple jewels and a circular center.

"Hi, Miss Lineer. Those people were totally boring." Harina said.

"Perhaps, but they are teaching them how to use I.S. units and anyone who has an I.S. could be a problem to us." Lineer said. "I'm also interested in these male I.S. pilots: Davis Motomiya and Ichika Orimura. Marinda, keep your guard up when you come across them."

"Of course….Mother." Marinda said.

…

The Next Day

"Listen up!" Chifuyu said as she was having her class outside. "After what happened recently, we're going to have some practical training. As help, I asked some upperclassmen to step in." Those upperclassmen were Ichika and his friends.

"Nice to be here." Ichika said.

"If you have any questions, just ask. I'm a well-respected pilot." Rin gloated. "Isn't that right, Ichika? Davis says you respect me."

"Of course he does. He's afraid if he doesn't, you could kill him." Davis said with his big mouth opening again and getting Ichika in trouble. Rin instantly got irritated again and pulled out her cannons.

"Wait just a minute, Rin." Ichika nervously said.

"Ichika!" Rin shouted and fired, but Ichika and some of the others cleared away, but Davis was right in the line of fire.

"Oh god!" Davis shouted, but the attack was blocked by Fria using her A.I.C. "Fria? You saved me? Well, thanks, but…." Davis didn't get to finish as Fria surprised everyone by grabbing him by his shirt and actually kissed him.

"Yes! That's it." Laura said.

"Laura?" Ichika questioned. Fria let Davis go and he couldn't believe what she just did.

"Now, according to Upperclassmen Laura, I am making you my bride." Fria said.

"WHAT?!" Davis said.

….

Davis: Bride?! Did Fria say I'm her bride?! Did she say that I'm her bride?! I can't be the bride! The girl is suppose to be the bride! On top of that, we're too young to be married or anything! What is Laura teaching this crazy woman?! Do they know anything about marriage?!
