IS Infinite Build
Construct 64: Shadows on the Horizon
Laura: It seems that I am the one giving the introduction this time. Ahem. In the last Construct, a Haijacked IS named the "Silver Gospel," went berserk and began flying in the direction of Japan. To stop it from causing mayhem, Cross-Z and Akatsubaki moves in to destroy it. But it's power was more than a match for two Riders. Not helped by Miss Houki's terrible mental condition, which resulted in Cross-Z taking terrible damage. After some reevaluation, everyone came together, even Ichika who managed to make a sudden and bizarre recovery. Thus we regrouped and headed off to a rematch with the Silver Gospel… I do wish Sento was here as well… But it can not be helped, we can handle this ourselves. Now what will happen in this Construct!?

We are Ichika
Flying towards where the Silver Gospel is waiting for us. Time to beat the shit out of this IS! "We have a visual!" Laura exclaims, we look ahead to see the Silver Gospel in a sitting state floating in mid air. It doesn't notice us we move in and surround the Gospel while keeping our distance. Readying our weapons, the Gospel finally notices us as it looks up at us. The Gospel stands straight, it's wings opening out. It looks up to see me with my Beat Closer at the ready. The Gospel's visior turns red, before the wings open out to shoot at me. I dodge out of the way of the shots.. "Let's go!" Laura shouts, before she shoots at the Gospel from below hitting the Gospel directly.
Laura:(over comm) Everyone go! I just scratched it! Keep up the assault and don't stop!
Cross-Z:(deploys claw) Hell yeah! My kind of strategy!
Charlotte:(flies behind Gospel) Beginning assault!
Charlotte and me being shooting at the Gospel hitting the shields, a more focused beam is fired and damages the wing. "Nice shot Cecilia!" I shout, but the Gospel deploys and created energy balls from its hands. Shit! "Get Clear! It's my turn!" Rin shouts as she flies in with her blades opening fire on Gospel before swinging down at Gospel. Gospel blocks with it's right arm as it lifts up it's left arm to shoot with. "Cross-Z! Akats!" Rin shouts as Akats flies in from behind, I fly in from the front, as we both crank our belts. "Ready Go! Dragonic Finish! Yay!" "Maidentech Finish! Yay!" We both kick Gospel, our finishers hit destroying the wings and heavily damaging the left leg of the Gospel, it falls into the ocean. We got it? That was… Wait. Bubbles rise out of the water before the Gospel flies out surrounded in an orb of light, within the light what looks like wings come out from where the old wings used to be.
Cross-Z:(shocked) Oh, you've got ta be shitting me!?
Laura:(shocked) Amazing… This is… The [Second Shift.]
Gospels new energy wings create a massive ball of energy above Gospel's head. "Everyone move!" Cecilia shouts as we fly and dodge a whirlwind of energy blasted at us. I manage to dodge but it hits Houki as she's sent flying into the nearby island. "Houki!" I shout, "I-I'm good! But Cecilia!" Akatsu shouts, as I look over to see Gospel attacking Cecilia who's dodges and tires to attack Gospel. But Gospel keeps Cecilia on the defence. I won't let you! I take out the Lock Full Bottle and insert it into my blade. "Special Tune! Hippare! Hippare!" I fly in and swing at Gospel cutting its wings. "Million Slash!" Cecilia and I move back, looking at Gospel the wings are cut off where I swung and the Gospel is having trouble staying straight in the air. Whoa, the Lock Full Bottle's abilities locks the ability of IS's as well! Course! "Laura! Give me cover!" I shout as I fly over to Akats.
Laura:(shooting) Whatever you have planned make it quick!
Cross-Z:(removes Lock Bottle) I have an Idea Akatsu.(hands bottle) Here, take the Lock bottle. Hand me you're Katana bottle. Use my Lock bottle on Gospels shields. WE may be able to shut it down long enough for us to finish it off.
Akats:(nods) I see, then let's do it.
We trade bottles, I insert the Katana Full Bottle into my blade. "Special Tune! Hippare! Hippare! Hippare!" I fly into the air, as Akatsu moves in behind inserting the bottle into her blade. "Single!" Akatsu moves behind with Laura, Cecilia, Rin, and Charlotte all with their most powerful weapons at the ready. I swing my blade. "Mega Slash!" The Beat Closer's plasma grows in size, I combine it with my Reiraku Byakuya and I swing at the Gospel. Using its remaining wings, the Gospel creates a barrier of light. My blade makes contact with the wing barrier. Gospel and I push back against each other. Gospel created energy bullets and shoots at me damaging my shield before I break off. "Single Arrow!" Akatsu shoots at Gospel hitting it's shields it's shields go down. "Now! Open fire!" Akatsu shouts as the shields go down, and everyone opens fire, I land next to Akatsu as I drop into a kneel. "Cross-Z!" Akats shouts.
Cross-Z:(puts hand up) I'm fine. It's simply that I'm low on shield energy…(looks at blade) I won't be able to use the Reiraku Byakuya. Damn it…
Akats:(clenches fist) … Ah! Wait, the Kenran Butou!(Cross-Z looks confused) Ah, it's my One-Off ability that Tabane programed into the Akats. Since my Rider system is a hybrid with the IS system, I have a one off ability. I can recharge your shield and weapon energy at anytime.
Cross-Z:(looks over) Really?! That's amazing!
"Give me your hand, I'll charge you up." Akats tells me. I take her hand as energy flows into mine as shield energy charges back up. "Oh yeah! Now we're talking!" I exclaim turn back to the Gospel whos currently preparing its own attack. "Let's finish it Cross-Z. Go and beath that thing with this!" Akatsu tells me preparing her own blades.
Charlotte: We're with you on this Cross-Z.
Laura: Forgive us, regrouping took some time. But we are ready now.
Rin: Let's end this quick alright?
Cecilia: Let us go Cross-Z, let's show this mech the power of the IS and Rider system combined!
Cross-Z:(chuckles) Couldn't have said it better myself. Alright guys…(gestures) We have the formula to Victory! Let's Go~!
Charlotte and Cecilia take the first strike, shooting at Gospel forcing it to use it's wing to block the shots. Rin flies in close with her blades combined and swings at Gospel hitting its shoulder and breaking the shoulder armor and damaging it's other wing. Then from below Laura launches an energy wire that wraps around the Gospel's leg and she swings the Gospel around before launching it at me. Reiraku Biyakuya~! I swing, hitting and damaging the Gospels back destroying its wings. Gospel falls towards the island.
Cross-Z:(flies at Gospel) Akatsubaki! Let's finish this!
Akats:(flies at Gospel) Rodger! This is it!
We crank our belt. "Ready Go!" The two of us drop kick towards Gospel. "Dragonic Finish!" "Maidentech Finish!" The two of us speed towards Gospel, and kick straight though the Gospel. Our kick splits the IS in two, we landed on the sand as the Gospel explodes behind us… Akatsu and I turned around to look out across the sea, our helmets fold away. I look at Houki with her red hair and eyes. "It's done." I mutter. "Yeah… Finally..." Houki says back. We look out to the sea. Ah! Before I forget… I reach into my pocket and take out a ribbon and hand it towards Houki.
Ichika:(smiles) Before I forget to tell you. Happy Birthday Houki! I know this is a bit of an odd timing but, I wanted to give you this now before I forget.
Houki:(takes ribbon) Ichika… Thank you… For not giving me something that isn't Protein related. Perhaps there's actually some brain in all that muscle.
Ichika:(confused) Ha-? What's that supposed to mean?!
Houki:(looks at Ichika) Well, with how much protein you've been intaking… I was… A bit worried that you would have become too much of a musclebrain to get me an actual gift, that isn't protein related.
Ichika: Oh, like you're one to talk Stonebrain!
Houki:(sighs) Yes, actually I think I can speak. You are too little brain cells in that muscle head of yours! I'm just stubborn, you on the other hand are limited in you're thinking!
Ichika: Are we really arguing about this?!
We are Observer
"Yes we are!" Houki shouts, we pan back to Tabane standing in a boat looking on from a safe distance. She applases at the Riders victory. "Excellent! Excellent! Bravo! As expected, you got yourselves back on your feet and defeated Gospel." Tabane shouts, she looks at a briefcase sitting next to the passenger seat.
Tabane:(sits down) Now we can move to the beginning of phase 2 now…(takes out phone) Time to send it the remnants.(calls) Oh boys~? Are we ready?
Phone:(over phone) Yes, my lady we will begin our mission.(hangs up)
Tabane:(looks at case) Now with that out of the way… time to move...
We are Sento
I walk through the hall reading a message given by Chifuyu saying that the mission was a success. That's good to read. Putting aside the message I hear footsteps approach from behind me. I turned around to see Kanzashi-chan approaching me. "Ah, Kanzashi, whats up?" I ask as Kanzashi approaches me from behind.
Kanzashi:(looks at Sento) Sensei? Could you join me to somewhere?
Sento:(turns to face Kanzashi) Sure… But where are we going to do?
Kanzashi:(looks at Sento) I want to grab something from a store on the mainland… But I'm a bit embarrassed to go by myself.
Sento:(chuckles) Well sure. You could've also asked your sister for help as well.
Kanzashi: Ah… Well… That's…
Sento:(smiles) Don't worry about it. I know it's hard to just get over you're inferiority. Just remember to take it one step at a time. Come let's go.
Kanzashi nods and the two of us head off. I clench the Rabbit Bottle in my hand. Perhaps I really don't need to be Build to help others… I think to myself as we leave the Academy.
Later… We are Observer
In an underground lab, men in gas masks work to finish a system. "We're finally ready." One man in a mask says, as he grabs a Smash Full Bottle. "If we do this we will be able to join the others who left Touto." The man says as a group of 9 surround a table with 8 bottles on the table. "We take this into the city and get Build to defeat us. Once we do will be taken to where the new Faust is set up." One of the men says.
Gas man 1: Glory to Faust!
Gas men:(in synch) Glory to Faust!
With that all nine of the gas men walks together and to a table of clothes.
We are Sento
Walking through the downtown area, Kanzashi happily hums as she walks down the street. Most of what we purchased were mostly Anime merchandise. Looking at the items that Kanzashi purchased. Plastic Models, Wallpapers, Figures, and more. All of it from various Mecha Genre. "You've got quite the hull." I tell Kanzashi, she looks back at me with a big smile on her face.
Kanzashi:(nods) Yeah! There was a huge sale on all this great stuff! I couldn't help but buy so much! I was just… So embarrassed to be by myself.
Sento:(sweatdrop) I get the feeling that a 20 something standing around chaperoning a 15 year old girl buying Anime merch is odd in of itself.
Kanzashi:(chuckles) I don't think it's that weird.(feels hair) Altho I guess my blue hair stands out a bit.
"Why is you and your sisters hair blue?" I ask. Kanzashi simply blushed before looking away. I guess that means I'm not getting an explanation on that then. I shrug before patting on her shoulder. "You don't have to answer me. You can just tell me that you don't want to answer." I assure her. "Right, sorry." Kanzashi mutters back, "Nothing to apologise about." I tell her patting her on the head. Walking through the crowd of people, I can't help but look at Kanzashi's still happy smiles as I smile as well. I really don't have to be Build to help people. I can just be… Kiryu Sento. Not Build. Walking towards the train station, I pause where I stand, Kanzashi stops and looks back at me.
Kanzashi:(confused) Sensei? What is it? What's wrong?
Sento:(looks at HUD) Hmm… Sigh~ Tatenashi-chan, there's no point in hiding. I can detect you're Student ID.
Kanzashi:(turns to trees) Huh?! Nee-san?!
Tatenashi peeks out of the trees and slowly over to us. "Busted..." Tatenashi says rubbing the back of her head. "Nee-san! Why are you following us?!" Kanzashi exclaims, Tatenashi walks over to us. "Is it wrong for a sister to look out for a little sister?" Tatenashi asks, now that I look at it. I look down to notice a bag with disguise clothes inside. I look at Tatenashi herself, she had changed into that of a jogger. She had been watching us for some time… The two sisters start going back and forth, mostly talking about personal business that I'd be wrong in interrupting.
"So you're Build huh?"
I turn around to only see the crowd passing by… What the?
We are Observer
Walking through the crowd, a woman with a hairstyle similar to Chifuyu shakes a Full Bottle with a Helicopter design on it. "Now then… Those Faust boys should be beginning soon..." The woman mutters before putting away the bottle. Then taking out a Jelly packet titled "Robot Sclashjelly" She walks through the crowd, she lets out a sigh.
We are Sento
I continue to look through the crowd. To look for the woman's voice I heard, only to see no one… Was that just something I heard by accident? I ponder, when my eyes fall upon a group of 9 all standing in a circle… Hmm? I notice something in their hands, I can't quite make it out at first, but when I zoom in with my HUD, my eyes widen.
Sento:(steps back) Girls… We need to go.
Kanzashi:(looks at Sento) Ah- W- Huh? Did you say something Sensei?
Tatenashi:(turns to Sento) What's the matter?
Sento:(turns to girls) We need to go now!
"GLORY TO FAUST!" Is shouted as the nine open Smash bottles and douse themselves with Nebula Gas, transforming all nine into Smashes. "Everyone! Clear out!" I shout as the Smashes all begin to rampage. People scream and run for their lives. Damn it! Why now?! I reach for my bel- "Are you saying that you've never hurt someone?" Stalk echoes through my head... "We need to go!" I say as I turn to the girls, only to find them in their IS's.
Sento: Wh-What the hell are you two doing?!
Tatenashi:(readies weapon) Sensei, get out of here. Help the people evacuate.
Kanzashi:(opens HUD) We'll cover you. Go!
Sento:(walks over) Idiots! You're weapons won't do anything!
"We won't know until we try!" Tatenashi exclaims as she flies into distract the Smashes. Kanzashi flies into the air to assist her sister. Those idiots! I run off to help assist the evacuation. Running over to a terrified group of people huddled against a wall I run over. "What are you waiting for! Run! Go, go!" I shout at them, it's enough to get them to start to move. "Sensei! Behind you!" Kanzashi shouts, a Smash swings at me. I duck under it's fist and roll back, getting back up on my feet I put myself against a food stand. The same Smash swings at me, quickly jumping onto the top of the cart, I then jump over the Smash and behind him. The Smash misses and I then kick it in the back as it stumbles over and smashes into the Cart. I look ahead to see a group of school kids being surrounded by two Smashes. I charge at the two Smashes, as I do, Tatenashi stabs her lance into the ground. Water seeps out of the lance and into the ground and then travels through the ground over to the Smash bursting out of the ground. The water hits the Smash but causes no damage, the Smash returns by smashing it's fists into the ground, this sends a shock wave towards Tatenashi, who dodges out of the way. The shockwave knocks up a water grate, I observe the falling grate. I don't need to transform, but I can use the Full Bottles. Reaching into my jacket, I take out the Gorilla Full Bottle and I give it a good shake. Jumping into the air, I catch the grate and I throw it at a Smash hitting it in the back of the head.
Sento:(lands) Oof!(running over) GO! Go! Run! Scram!
I shout running in, grabbing the Grate again. Using it as a shield to block a punch from a Smash. I then using the Grate I slam it against the Smash's hand knocking it back. Lifting up the Grate I slam the Smash into the ground, dropping the Grate I turn the Kids still terrified. "What? Are you waiting on your parents or something! Go!" I shout directing them away, they get the message and start to run. I go to follow them, when I'm grabbed from behind and tosses away. I fly through the air but I get caught in mid air. "Huh?" I look up to Kanzashi.
Kanzashi:(looks at HUD) That looks to be everyone, you need to get out of here!(drops Sento) Go, Sensei! We'll hold them off.
Sento:(looks at Kanzashi) That's my line, I told you two that you're weapons won't do anything!
Tatenashi:(flies in) Kanzashi! Sensei! Look out!
The two of us look in front of us to see a Smash charge at us. "Kanzashi! Funnels!" I shout, Kanzashi deploys small pod devices that launch, deploying a barrel before opening fire on the Smash distracting it enough, that the two of us dodge out of the way. Reaching into my jacket I quickly pull out a beacon device. I figured something like this might happen. Thus I created this as a way of countering Smash attacks… Or more as a distraction. I toss the beacon into the air, it's button deploying a spike before it lands into the roof of a car. The top unlocks as a sonic noise begins to screech out. My data noted how the Smash can also be lured by a specific sonic sound, and can be used to maneuver Smashes if necessary.
Sento:(backs up) Their, that will keep them distracted.(looks at girls) Now will you two listen to me and move!
Kanzashi:(looks at device) Will that keep them their?
Sento:(shakes head) No, but will give us enough time to get out of here. Now for the last time, MOVE!
The two sisters look at each other before looking to me. "You have any more of those?" Tatenashi asks me. She's not thinking of. "I'm not letting you two go charge off and get yourself killed!" I exclaim, Tatenashi simply smiles before I feel something move up my back. I look inside my coat, I see the special water grabbing the spare beacon I carried with me. No. "Stop!" I shout before, go into the air. The Tatenashi activate the beacon, before Kanzashi uses a Funnel to destroy the Car Beacon. The Smash then notice the new Beacon and chase after it. "You idiot's!" I shout as they fly away…
Sento:(pulls out phone) I have to get Ichika and Houki. They're the only-
?: Do you really think that those two will make it in time?
I turn around to a teenage girl in a brown furry jacket with a hood covering her face. She stands a few feet away from me. The two of us standing in the center of a silent and empty parking area, looking at the girl from top to bottom, I can't get a read on who she's working with. Yet… I get a feeling of familiarity with this girl… Why does she seem so familiar?
Sento:(battle stance) Who… Who are you?!
?: That's not important. I'm just here to give a message, from Tabane.
Sento: What?! What does she have to say?
?: Only that those Smashes are former Faust members. They won't stop till either they kill you, or you beat them. Once they kill those girls, they will come to kill you. So. You gonna stand their? Or are you going to transform and fight?
I look down at the ground, my feeling conflicted. She's right… Even if I call for those two, they won't make it here in time… "Personally: I wish that I have the choice to say no to this. But I'm not the one who gives out orders. Good luck." I look back up to the woman only to see that she has disappeared… Where did she? I look around, before I look to the air. I see an owl like Smash flying away with the girl holding on. What the? A Smash that controls itself? Or is she carrying a beacon of her own… The thought fades as my mind returns to the girls and I pull up my HUD to locate where they are. I find their signals in a parking tower, and they aren't moving. Those idiots they are trapped. I reach into my jacket to grab my belt but I pause again.
Sento:(looks at hand) Here I am again. Making a difficult choice…(clenched fist) God…. GOD DAMNIT~!(slams fists against car) WHY CAN'T I GET SOME PEACE!? WHY MUST I BE FORCED TO FIGHT?! GOD DAMN IT~! RRRRRAAAAH~!
I kick the car it screeches and crashes into another car, the siren rings though the silent parking lot… I sigh as I kneel down and ponder… 7,000 bodies. Piled on my Nebula Gas research… I look down at the Gorilla bottle in my hand… Will I let my creations… My work… Kill more? I look back at my HUD to see that the girls are still holding out… One last time… Yes.
Sento:(takes out phone) My last Henshin. After that, Build is going to retire.
Inserting the Lion Bottle into my phone I toss it into the air as it changes into a bike. Quickly hoping on my bike, revving up the engines I drive off. One last time...
