IS Infinite Build
Construct 51: Draconic Finish!
Maya: Oh! It's me today?! Um… Well, in the last construct the heated match between Bodewig-san and Banjou-kun finally started, but during the middle of the match. Bodewig-san used Shinonono-san as a human shield. This angered Ichika into accessing a new power. And when Night Rogue and a Smash enter the picture, Banjou-kun has enough power to strap on the Build driver and transform into a Kamen Rider! I wonder what his name is going to be...
Author: Hey guys, so sorry for the out of date updates to the story. Ever since I got my job, I've been having my creative juices sapped. So I'm limiting the uploads to once a week again. So this is to ensure I can still manage my job and keep posting for you guys. So again, sorry for the late updates. So no more updates for the rest of the week, until next Saturday. Thank you for understanding, but other wise. Enjoy!

We are Ichika
The Cross-Z Dragon flies over, and folds up it's head and tail. As it falls into my hand, I take a look at it. This time… I… I'm gonna protect everyone I care about! I shake the dragon bottle again, opening the cap and inserting it into the dragon. "Wake up!" I place the dragon into the Driver. "Cross-Z Dragon!" Techno music starts playing as I crank the lever. The frame forms around me, as the tubes fill with the blue liquid. "Are you ready?!" I smack my hands together and take a battle pose as I exclaim. "Henshin!" I reenter the ready stance, as the armor closes around me. "Wake up Burning! Get Cross-Z Dragon! Yeah!" The dragon left half, is the same as the right side, but with yellow flames added to the left arm, and right leg. Also a wing like attachment was added to my back, and added a dragon's flaming head onto the helmet, and the wings creating the shoulder pads.
Sento:(sits up) That idiot…
Charles: He pulled it off…
Maya: Ichika-kun transformed?!
Chifuyu: Their you go. Show them no mercy Ichika!
Cross-Z:(clenching fists) This time… I won't lose to anyone!
The Smash charges me, but I block and throw a punch that sends the Smash flying backwards. I stand up straight, as I grab the crank and turn the lever. "Ora, Ora, Ora, Ora!" A blue energy dragon flies up behind me. As my foot readies for another roundhouse. "Ready GO! Draconic Finish!" The dragon breathes fire, sending me forwards. I roundhouse, the Smash landing behind it as it explodes into a green flame. I stand back up straight, as I turn to Rogue. He's stunned by the show of power. "With one attack...?" I summon up my new blade. "Beat Closer!" Taking the new blade, I charge Rogue. He opens fire on me but I dodge his attacks and swing at Rogue. My fast attacks make clear hits on Rogue who is caught off guard. I swing my blade across Rouge's chest in a blue flame slash. I grab the grip's end and pull it out and in. "Pull it!(steady minimal techno music) Smash Hit!(low synths)" I charge Rouge again, as I swing upwards, sending Rogue into the air and onto the ground. "What is this power?!" I pull the blade again two more times. "Pull it! Pull it!(steady techno music with synths)" I charge at Rogue, smashing the blade onto Rogue. Rogue tries to grab the blade, only to feel the head, of the beat. "Pretty hot, right? It's not just my power, after all!" I pull the blades trigger. "Million Hit!(disc scratching)" I push down, sending a beat wave that pushes Rogue back. "Right now…" I exclaim, grabbing my wrist. I reach down to my bottle holder, as I grab the Lock Bottle. I give it a shake and I open the cap, then I insert it into the blade's bottle slot. "Special Tune! Pull it! Pull it!(melodic electro music)" I ready to swing my blade. "I get the feeling, I can't lose!" I exclaim throwing the flame straight at Rogue. "Million Slash!(disc scratching and dragon roaring)" The fire ball flies towards Rogue, Rogue manages to block, then knocks away the attack. "It wasn't supposed to be like this..." Rogue mutters before he exudes smoke and disappears.
Charles: Umm? Ichika! We've got one more problem to deal with.
Cross-Z:(looks over) Huh? Oh yeah.(turns to Laura) I don't like the fact that you're using my Sisters moves and form… But I can't help but feel bad for you. But I'll set you free soon. Using the move… My sister taught me!
I ready my blade again. "Pull it! Pull it! Pull it!" I ready to charge. "I'm gonna end this here and now… And in one strike!" I remember my Sisters words on the use of the Katana. Use the blades weight to strengthen my strike. Do not "Hold it in your hand." Treat it as a part of your body. Wield it with no excess, no gaps, no openings. I launch forwards towards Laura, I ready for the strike. "Mega Hit! (repeated synths)" First, to move in a flash, second, to strike just as fast… Chifuyu-nee's teachings… This time I'll show you. I spin around, swinging in a full circle, slicing open the goop, then turning back around and slicing dowards. Twin Flash Style! Ichika Version! From the goop falls out Laura, I catch her in my arms as I look at her. Just like Chloe… Huh...
Charles:(comes over) Here let me take over.
Cross-Z:(helmet folds away) Okay, thanks for that…(looks at Laura) Sorry about that, Larua.
Charles:(looks at Ichika) Huh… That's new.
Cross-Z:(raises eyebrow) What is?
Charles:(pulls up camera) You're eyes and hair have both turned blue with a splash of Yellow in their as well. It looks good on you.
"Thanks." I take out the Cross-Z Dragon and the Dragon bottle, the armor and color of my hair and eyes reverting to normal. Closing the cap I look at the bottle. I can't help but smile, Kasumi… Thank you. I look over to Sento who's still on the ground. "You really did it." I walk over to him, and extend out my hand to help him up. Sento reluctantly takes my hand as I pull him up. Grasping his shoulder from pain. "Ow..." This is all fine and good but… I reach into my jacket and I take out the note.
Ichika:(shows letter) You left this letter at her grave, didn't you?
Sento:(looks at Letter) Ah….
Ichika:(staring at Sento) Where'd you find it!?
Sento:... (looks at Ichika then falls back onto the ground) Ow, Ow, Ow!
Charles:(chuckles) Sensei…
Ichika:(sighs) Man, you're a piece of work you know that?(turns away) Thanks, though.
Sento:(pirks up) Eh?(jumps over to Ichika) Sorry, what? I couldn't hear you, say it again.
I let out a groan. "Shut up! Hurry up and deal with that!" I exclaim pointing to the Smash still electrically pulsating. "Oh! Crap~!" Sento runs over as he reaches into his pocket to get a empty bottle.
We are Sento
Opening the cap of the empty bottle, I absorb the Smash essence. Leaving Sawa-san lying on the ground. "Eh? EEEEEHHH~!?" Charles and Ichika exclaim as they run over. I help Sawa-san up. "Sawa-san?! Are you okay?" I ask her. "Holy crap, it's Sawa-san?!" Ichika exclaims. "I can see that Meathead!" Charles shouts back. Sawa-san regains focus as she comes to reality. She lets out a sigh, as her situation and location dawns on her.
Sawa:(sighs) I see… Looks like I got burned.
Sento:(looks at Sawa) What happened? How'd you get captured by Faust?
Sawa:(looks down) I… I betrayed you all...I'm… A spy.
Charles: Hey, I know this is important and all. But we kinda got two injured people here. Can we put this off till later?
"Yes… I'm okay with that" Sawa-san says, with that. We all leave the stadium.
We are Observer
Looking from above, the black masked figure looks out. "Well… Phase 1 Complete. Now onto Phase 2." The black masked man turns away as he engulfs himself in smoke and disappears.
Later… We are Sento
I stand by the windows, looking out at the Academy. Again, they managed to get into the Academy, no doubt it's a spy… Somewhere in the academy. "Mm..." We look over to Laura who's waking up. "Laura!" Chloe exclaims. I've played my cards by bringing Chloe here… Let's see the results. "Where am I?" Laura asks as she sits up. "In...Instructor? Chronicle?" Chloe lets out a sigh of relief. "You're okay. I was so worried when I heard you were hurt!" Chloe exclaims. Much to the surprise of Laura.
Laura:(confused) You… Were worried?
Chloe:(sits back) Yes… Despite our past, and what the German Military labeled us. I'm just, really glad you're okay.
Chifuyu:(comes through curtains) Oh You've come to? Bearing the full brunt of that attach Ichika pulled off, causes muscle fatigue and exhaustion… Best to not push yourself.
Laura:(feels eye) Just what… Happened?
Sento:(looks over) Well, barring some important issues, there is that highly secret matter we need to worry about now. Tell me Laura, are you familiar with the VT system?
Laura:(looks over) The "Valkyrie Trance system?!"(looks down) Yes, if I recall, it was a system that put the user in a trance that makes them move like winner of the Past IS world Championships.
Sento:(nods) Yup. Currently under the IS treaty, it's research development and use is strictly forbidden. Thought it was something that was in you're IS. Though oddly, it was deactivated then reactivated a few days earlier. The pilot's mental state during a period where the IS sustained Damage, as well as the pilot's desires… Those are the conditions for the system to activate.
Laura:(rests hand on left eye) Is that so… All because… For a moment, I wished for it. To be like the instructor.(clenched hands) I...I'm so...
I smile, as I walk over and give Laura a light pat on the head. "It's okay to feel guilty. That fact is what makes you human." Laura looks at me, and smiles. "Bodewig Laura! Who are you?" Chifuyu exclaims, she looks over pondering the question.
Chifuyu:(turns away) If you are no one right now, then that's perfect. In which case, be "Bodewig Laura" from now on.(looks back) You can't become me. If you do become his sister, you won't get over the anxiety. You've got a lot of time to think about it before you die. Stress about it gracefully, kid.(walks off)
Sento:(sighs) You could have given her that without asking the existential questions.
Chloe:(chuckles) What better to ask for a girl who's been taking literal orders for all her life.
"A fair point." I remark back, but a concerned look around from Laura catches my attention. "What's wrong?" I ask her, Laura looks back at me with a concerned face. "Where's miss Shinonono? I know I used her as a shield… And I wanted to apologise to her." So she does feel guilty. I chuckle as I walk to the curtains to her right. "If you want to apologise to her. You can do so now!" I exclaim as I pull back the curtains, to Houki listening in. "Wha?!" Houki is caught off guard.
Sento:(walks over to Laura) Come on. You wanted to apologies right? Go ahead.
Laura: Um… Uh… S-Sorry…(bows) Really I am for using you as a shield.
Houki:(collects self) Well… Um… I'm not forgiving you… But that doesn't mean you can't be forgiven!(crosses arms) Just make sure to never do such a thing ever again.(turns to Laura) Do you understand?
"Yes… Sorry." Laura apologies again. "G-Good. Then I'll get going." Houki says as she gets up but stops due to the pain. "Ah! Houki, please take things slowly. You can move, but no physically demanding things for awhile at least." I regard Houki, as she nods and gets her stuff. "What about you Chloe? You gonna stay here?" I ask, with Chloe nodding. "Yeah, I want to talk a few things with… With my sister." I smile and wave as I leave the room to the two.
Later in the Cafeteria…
"That's great to hear and all that…(swallows food) But, how did you get Chloe into the Academy without Faust knowing?" Ichika asks chowing down on an unbalanced meal. "I did a Cleopatra and wrapped her in a rug." I tell Ichika, cutting a piece of meat off my Steak. "What? Cleopatra did what?" Ichika asks, I sigh as I gesture off a small article of the Cleopatra's history.
Sento:(points to image) Read up that, and hopefully you're meatheaded brain turns less mushy.
Ichika:(annoyed) Hey!
Charles: To think, that Ichika's accidental attack on Miss Houki would push him to break Bodewig's AIC.(turns to Sento) I suppose that, and the letter from Kasumi's what pushed Ichika to finally transform.(smiles) I guess this was all part of the outcome you wanted?
Sento:(looks at Charles) I did not expect, Laura using Houki as a shield. But the end outcome was acceptable. So I'll look past it, plus Laura apologies to Houki.(pauses before bite) Speaking of, whatever happened to the Tournament? Will it continue?
Charles:(shakes head) Apparently not. Though, they wanted to collect the students Data so I guess they only wanted to push though the first round only.(looks at Ichika) Although, Ichika, you never did land a proper blow on Bodewig after all.
Ichika:(puts down fork) Well, about that. At the time, I saw her with those weak eyes, as if she was telling me, "Please save me." And so…
Charles:(smiles) You're so nice Ichika.
Ichika: Yeah… Well… I mean…(turns) Oh yeah, I noticed earlier but doesn't it seem like everyone's in a weird mood.(looks to Sento) Could it have something to do with the bet the girls made up?
I shrug. "I got no idea.(remembers) Oh yeah. Here." I take out a Build Driver and pass it to Ichika. "Wha! I can't take this! It's yours." Ichika says, I let out a sigh as I take out my Build Driver. "Idiot, I constructed you're Cross-Z Dragon. Building a second driver is child's play." I say, as I put away my driver. Ichika looks at his driver, then chuckles as he takes it.
Ichika:(looking at Driver) Sweet… With this I'm gonna turn into Build and expose Stalk's identity.
Sento:(puts down fork) You're not Build.
Ichika:(looks over) What the hell?! You still don't accept it?!
Sento: Cross-Z. That's your name, Kamen Rider Cross-Z.
Ichika: Cross-Z…(smiles) That's pretty Kick ass!(remembers) Oh yeah! Hey, Sento. Tell me is Houki good enough to get out for fun, you know like going to see an aquarium?
Sento:(nods) Yeah, I guess. Why?
"Oh, nothing in particular. I just wanted to apologise to Houki is all." Oh? What's with the sudden interest? "Could this have something to do with that money you've been saving up?" Charles asks, Ichika smiles and chuckles as he looks to his bag. "I guess… Also, it's like me taking the first step to moving past Kasumi… It's what she would like." I see. I smile and nod, I hear footsteps behind me. I turn to see Houki entering the Cafeteria, clenching her shoulder.
Sento:(looks to Ichika) Well, here's your chance. Go talk to her.
Ichika:(looks over) Yeah… Let's do this.
We are Ichika
I get up out of my seat, turning to my bag. I reach inside and take out Kasumi's letter. I walk over to Houki, she pauses and is nervous. Same as me huh? Take it easy Ichika, you've done this before with Kasumi. It's the same thing. "Hey Houki, how you holding up?" I ask her, she nervously shakes in her shoes. I look at her shoulder, a scar across her shoulder. "I'm sorry about what happened to you're shoulder." I apologies to Houki.
Houki:(Rubs shoulders) It's fine, it was Laura's fault that I was injured like this in the first place.(chuckles) I guess you're recklessness saved me.
Ichika:(Sweatdrop) Hey… Not funny.
Houki:(giggles) You really don't have to worry about me, I can't go to Kendo for a bit. Or take part in practice, but I can at least still go to class.
Ichika:(smiles) Great to hear… So hey, remember when we went out with Chloe and Charles?
Houki:(nods) Yeah, what's this about?
Ichika:(takes out letter) Well, you said that you wanted to check out the Aquarium. And recently I noticed that there was a Couple discount… So. You wanna go with me?
"Wha?" Houki blushes as she takes my throught. "So… I take it as a no?" I ask. "N-No! Don't jump to conclusions idiot! I'll… I'll go okay?" Yes! A smile forms on my face, another one on Houki's face as well. "See you saturday at the Train station?" I ask, she smiles and nods. "Yeah. Yeah, see you then!" I grab Houki by the hand before she runs off. "Yeah, so one more thing. Let's talk about this one on the roof." Houki's face turns even more red. "I-I'm not prepared."
Ichika:(sweatdrop) This one is serious, it has nothing of what happened… Just come with me.
On the roof
I hand Houki the letter. "Here, this is Kasumi's final words to us. Sensei found it for us." Houki slowly takes the letter and carefully opens the letter and reads it contents. "I haven't shown this yet to Dan or Ran, but I have to Rin." Houki begins to tear up, I walk over to her and pat her on the back.
Houki:(wipes tears off) Idiot, why didn't you give this to me before hand?!
Ichika:(sweatdrop) Sorry, I didn't really know what to do…
Houki:(sniff!) Seriously…
We are Sento
I wipe away any food and sauce left on my mouth, as I go to get up. My eyes fall again upon Charlotte's Watch. "Good news Ichi- Huh? Where's Ichika-kun?" Maya-san asks as she walks over to us. "He and Houki went up to the roof. It's personal." Maya-san begins to blush. "Oh… I see." Not like that you child. "If you were expecting a confession, that was earlier." I tell Maya-san.
Maya: Ah… I see… Um, Ahem... anyways. Today you and Ichika-kun can use the Bathhouse, but we forbid using it on days when boiler gets mantainesd but the maintenance ended earlier than usual. And so we'll be allowing the boy's bathhouse hours starting today!
Charles:(smiles) That's great! Ichika's been asking for that for awhile now.
Sento:(smiles) If that's the case go tell him. He's probably still on the roof. Oh and one more thing.
Charles:(looks at Sento) Yes? What's up Sensei?
Sento:(points to Watch) I'd like to have your watch, not to sell it off or anything. I was just hoping to fix the clock's internals. Wouldn't it be better that you have that watch fixed rather then have it broken like that.
Charles:(looks at Watch) I guess… Fine.(takes off watch) Please be careful with it. I'd rather you not break it any further.
"Got it." I say carefully taking the watch. As I do I get pointed at by Charles. "And don't add anything unnecessary! I saw what you did to that poor students vacuum cleaner." Really?! She's gonna bring up that?! "On come on, it wasnt that bad… Was it?" I ask Maya-chan. She chuckles when thinking back. "Oh the paper work… Better not add anything." Oh come on! I let out a groan, but smile afterwards. "Yeah okay. Promise I won't put in anything." I wave away, as I leave to go fix the watch.
The next day…
I walk towards Class-A with Laura following behind me. In the short time, she's managed to restart an albeit awkward relationship with Chloe, but it's okay. And she's begun calling me by my first name. I guess that's a step up? I shrug at the thought. "Is something wrong Sento?" Laura asks me, standing besides me. "Oh nothing. Don't worry about it Laura." She's also warmed up enough to let me call her by her first name. Yeah, things are looking up. "Sento! Ahead!" Hmm? I look ahead to see Rin-chan breaking down the door to Class-A with her IS at the ready. Right Charlotte revealed who she was today… Oh shit.
Sento:(starts running) Laura! Get you IS online! Protect Ichika!
Laura:(activates IS) Right!
Rin:(aims cannon) DIE ICHIKA~!
Sento:(rubber hand) Hold her down!
"Copy!" Laura launches her hook around Rin's leg as Laura pulls Rin-chan off balance, she smacks her face into the ground as I walk in. "Thanks Laura." Laura nods, as I walk into the room, with the rubber hand at the ready. "Alright. First off, I'm disappointed in you. Not that you acted like a five year old…. But that you broke public PROPERTY!" I exclaim slapping Rin-chan over the head and back into the ground.
Charles:(sighs) Altho I didn't like you keeping this secret from me. I this is one I suppose couldn't be helped.
Sento:(turns to everyone) Listen up everyone! Yes, Charlotte is a girl. No she and Ichika haven't done anything weird. Also don't attack Ichika, because if you do I'll have to report it as an assault.(turns to Rin) As for you… I'll give you the same punishment as Laura. For the next 4 weeks you'll be washing the dishes, cleaning the toilets, and helping with teacher work. You start today.
Rin: NO~!
Sento:(points at Rin) Shut it! Also you're helping in the clean up crew, and helping to fix the damage!
