IS Infinite Build
Construct 23: A Dragon's Match
Chifuyu: Last Construct, Sento and I cracked down on some students breaking the rules. While I was giving the Students a "Strict Warning" Sento eavesdropped in on one of the IS Academy's Staff sending a mysterious message on a secure terminal. Later we discussed theories about what the message could mean. But we were interrupted by a Mayuzumi-san asking for an interview before the match. We pick up on the day of the Match. Now what will happen in Construct 23?

We are Ichika
I finish putting on the IS inner suit. I take my IS wrist band and Strap it on. I grab the Dragon bottle and I head towards the exit. My eyes catches the screen of the stadium, it's a full stadium. "Whoa… Looks like a Sold-Out stadium." I knew our match would bring a lot of people, but I didn't expect this many people… I'm not even in the arena and I can already feel nervous.
Cecilia: Ichika dear, you shouldn't make such a face. You just draw that much attention. I hear in addition, they'll be displaying the fight on monitors throughout the School building to those students who weren't able to secure seats.
Ichika:(sighs) That doesn't help with the pressure… Rather it makes it worse.
Houki:(walks over) Losing your nerve like that is pretty unlike you. You need to get a hold of yourself! Hold your head high and show them a thing or two!
Cecilia:(nods) That's right, show them the fruit of our training!
"Win!" Houki exclaims to me. Houki. Cecilia also walks over to me. "Do your Best!" Cecilia shouts. Cecilia… There right. What am I worrying? I'm not alone in this, I have these two, Kasumi, Sento, Chifuyu, Yamada, even Tabane too… Not sure about Chloe-san though. But nevertheless.
Ichika:(nods) Will do!
I get into the launching bay and I activate the IS. The armor attaches, while it does I place the Dragon Full Bottle into its container on my left leg. The full body armor is colored white and blue with some yellow at some parts. The holster holds a port where my blade is kept in cyberspace. The winning pieces on my back open out as the boosters activate. Here we go… I enter ready position as the launch light changes to green. "Banjou Ichika! Byakushiki! Launching!" The rail screams to life as I'm launched as high speeds. Meeting the end of the rail I'm flung off and I soar into the air. I gain some air before stopping and turning to face my opponent.
"Class 1's Banjou Ichika and Class 2's Fang Lin Yin! Fighters move to you're designated positions."
Rin:(Chuckles) So you didn't run away, if you say you're sorry now, I'll hold back a little while destroying you!
Ichika:(deep breath) I don't need it.(exhails) Now.(takes out blade) Come at me…(activates blade) With everything you've got in you!
I enter my battle stance and shooting a fierce look. As of right now, we aren't friends. We are adversaries, made to battle for our own reasons. Rin… I show you just how strong I am! I ready myself as Rin chuckles looking at me.
Rin:(chuckles) You haven't changed at all have you?(points towards Ichika) In that case I'll show you no mercy… and Crush you with my Shen Long.
Rin states as she readies herself for combat. The air seems to go quite as we stare each other down. We are just waiting for that starting horn to go. I have everything needed to beat her. I have the support of Cecilia, Houki, Chifuyu, Sento, hell even Tabane, and perhaps even Chloe… Naw, considering how much she seems to dislike me, she's probably has money on Rin.
"Fighters Get Ready… Match… Start!"
Rin and I charge at each other our blades up and raised, as our blades clash sending shock waves across the field. The shock even surprises some of high class spectators. We pull back from each other, we both quickly asses the damage. It's minimal, Good.
Rin: Huh… You're Melee skills aren't half bad. But… This match is far from over!
"I was just about to say the same thing!" I fly towards her, with my blade at the ready. Rin smirks as the orb pieces on her back open up. Just as Sento predicted. The Orb blasts a beam at me. I cut my thrust as I dodge under the beam, it's beam just barely scratching my shields. "How you like- huh?" Rin asks confused, I appear behind her and I foot dive down smashing my feet into her back hurting the shield and sending her towards the ground. Well, good thing I asked for Sento's combat opinion.
Flashback…
Sento: I can't give you all the details because, Rin-chan has purposely left her IS data incomplete… Which mind you annoys the hell out of me. But.(sigh) From what I was able to determine, Rin-chan's Shen Long is a short and mid range attacker.
Ichika: You mean she has some sort of shooter on her?
Sento:(nods) Most likely, all Rin-chan left as her weapons in the schools database, is her twin blades that can combine to a two blades battle blade. But more than that, I'm sure that the orb pieces on her back are the Range weapons.(points to orbs) See the opening? That opening must be where the range attack comes from.
Ichika: But how do I dodge such an attack?
Sento:(groans) Must I spell everything out for you?(facepalms) You really are a meathead.
Ichika:(annoyed) Enough with the jabs! Get on with the explanation!
Sento:(Sighs) Right, Right. The Orbital shooters seem to only project Plasma in small but a noticeable attack. It can at most, be about the size of your chest. Turn off you're thrusters and drop to a hover below Rin-chan, and take into a launching position.(Ichika tits head) Basically duck under the attack and get behind her. The attack seems to only be effective when fired from straight ahead. Making her a frontal assault IS. Use that to your advantage and get up behind her. She's all frontal, little back defence.
Back in the present…
"Oh! Banjou dodges the sudden attack and manages to get behind Yin and knock her into the ground!" Just as Sento said. Little back defence. She couldn't even react. Rin gets back up and flies up to me in a frontal attack. I block with my blade, our swords and gaze locked.
Rin: H-How did you know about my Impact Cannon?!
Ichika: Is that what those things are?(Smirks) Heh, well either way. I know about your little trick. Thanks to a little help from a certain "Supposed" Genius!(pushes back)
Rin:(raises eyebrow) What? What's about this "Supposed?"
"Don't worry about it!" I exclaim as push back. Charging with my blade at the ready.
We are Sento
Sitting and watching the match from the command by I find myself annoyed at Ichika's comment. The hell does he mean "Supposed?" I am a genius! Few can deny this! "I'm still confused on how the laser works." Shinonono-chan asks looking at the battle.
Sento: The mechanism works by the air being electrified and supper heating the air. Turning it from its gas state to a plasma state, thus the cannon's blast at their opponent at high speed causing major impact.
Cecilia:(nods) My rifle works on the same system. All modern laser systems works on the same idea. But the problem is how the excess heat is dealt with. Because if there's too much heat in a weapon.
Houki: Then the weapon melts.
Sento:(nods) And by how happy go lucky she is with the laser, I'm sure it's going to overheat soon.
We are Ichika
And when it overheats. That's my moment to strike! Our blades clash, and as we bounce off each other. Rin shoots at me. Which I manage to dodge using Sento's proposed maneuvers. Straight ahead, cant arch.
At the same time… We are Observer
The battle rages both competitors battling like well made soldiers. I cross my arms as the sound of my gloves crinkles and runs up against each other. Well now. The kid is doing quite good for himself. Though I could only attribute that to Kiryu Sento. I look at the match from the roof just close to the arena's shields. As I continue to watch, my phone vibrates with a message. "Place coordinates Cobra. Package is ready for deployment." I almost feel sorry for those kids… Eh. With what's coming next, that matters little. I smile under my mask.
We are Ichika
Rin:(orbs exude steam) Good job on surviving that. Especially since you couldn't even see the "Dragons Roar."
Ichika:(raises eyebrow) Dragon? Ha! That's nothing.(reaches into pocket) I'll show you how a dragon really fights!
We are Sento
"Well, he's pulling out the Bottle faster than I expected." I say looking at the console. I lean back in my chair and look at the screen. Judging by the amount to damage he took last time, his synchronicity rate increases day by day. Considering, now that it's been a week. The synchronicity with this body may bring about some interesting reactions.
We are Ichika
I grab the Dragon bottle and I shake the bottle and turn the cap. I fly straight at Rin. "I'm going all out!" I shout at the top of my lungs as blue flames engulf my blade. "That's my line! I'll put you in your place!" Our blades smash into each other. A blast of energy knocks Rin back as a Blue flaming dragon roars out from my blade. I can do this! "This match ends here!" I shout but from the sky drops something. It breaks through the shields and into the center of the arena.
We are Sento
I launch back into the console as I get cameras to do an immediate scan. What the hell is the thing that just smashed through the Goddamn Shield! The scan arrives and I see the results. My stomach drops.
Sento:(clenches fist) Son of a bitch. The unidentified IS unit is the one that was stolen from America.
Chifuyu:(clenches fist) What about the power and shielding?
Sento:(sighs) It's as I predicted. It's being powered by some sort of bottle pair. Time we pull those two back here.
Yamada:(nods) I'll ready the automated defences.
"And I'll contact the two idiots who are for some reason, Still out their." I hop onto the console to contact the two. As I look for their frequencies to contact them, Why did the consol have none of the contact information on stand by! That should be mandatory! Stupid updates! During my look I notice someone on the roof of the arena. "Who the hell?" The person is wearing an all black mask with no visible visor, sporting a black armored chestpiece making it difficult to find out gender, with a long black coat with long sleeves, long black pants and black shoes. I-Is this person the one responsible for the assault?! No wait. Coordinates to this place are obvious, problem is… The Shield! Only people who work for the IS Academy would know the Shield frequency!... A mole?
Chifuyu: Sento! Where's the contact with those two!?
Sento:(shakes head) Sorry! Stupid console updates!
Yamada:(sighs) Why do the updates always wipe away personal information!
"I've got it!" I exclaim as I get a contact between the two… Only to find the two bickering like elementary school kids. Oh you've got to be kidding me. They're both meatheads! "Shut up! Just what are you touching!" I being to access their IS as the two dodge a massive beam attack from the IS. I turn to Yamada-chan who is currently trying to activate the automated defences. Sigh~ God damn it, where's Tabane when you need her?
Meanwhile…
*Achoo!* I rub my nose as a cold breeze runs past me. Man… Is someone talking about me? I ponder on the though for a moment, but I quickly shrug it off and I start up my bike again and I drive off back towards my lab. I wonder if Sento is having fun?
