Chapter 2: Unintentionally Stopping a Coup
Jace's POV
"Tact, i thought you said there was a ship out there." Rico complained. The Angel Wings had been launched into empty space, not a ship to be found. And i was the only one who knew why.
"I swear there was when Kazuya and i left the - DARN IT, JACE!"
"What?" i asked.
"As Kazuya and i were racing for the door Anise must've noticed us running, and Jace probably emphasized a specific word that made her realize she was about to be attacked." Tact said. Tequila was in my face at that moment, her gloved hand around my throat.
"I'll admit i'm surprised she caught the emphasis in question despite my suave tone turning her into a stuttering mess. Man you should have SEEN her blush."
"I'll say. Most of her face was redder than her hair, and THAT'S saying something." Coco (who had followed me to the hangar) added.
"Who are you and what have you done with Jace?" Tequila asked. I could understand why she was concerned; to her i was a prankster, and that mischievous streak carried into my voice. The suave tone i used while talking to Anise was completely new to the mage.
"If you look down you'll see i'm the same person you know." i answered. She looked down - and saw her breasts hanging out, completely exposed. With a girlish scream she moved both hands to cover up her ample breasts - and as soon as i felt her hand leave my throat i turned around and ran off. I can recognize my cue immediately, unlike Grif who needed a 'Shotgun, damnit' on the fifth try from Sarge to recognize his cue in episode 3 of Red Vs. Blue Season 8. Levelling Coronet along the way (she always seems to find herself in the wrong place at the wrong time) i raced to an elevator, which took me to the top floor. It was easy to tell it was Tequila chasing me, i could clearly hear her heeled boots clicking on the floor as she pursued me.
Once i noticed she had taken the elevator next to me i proceeded back to the bottom floor.
"DAMNIT JACE!" she yelled as our elevators passed each other. It happened again going the other way, me having switched elevators. In the end i decided to hide in one of the Angels' rooms.
As much as they didn't want to admit it, i was a lot smarter than they thought i was. For i had decided to hide in Lily's room, the one room they weren't allowed to access with its normal occupant out. Turns out Rico and Nano had joined Tequila and were outside the door.
"Okay girls, i think a rotating watch should be the best bet. That way he won't sneak past us." i heard Tequila say.
Little did she know i had her spellbook. Mentally yelling the incantation a bright light surrounded me - and i teleported off the Luxiole entirely, reappearing on Seldar, next to a surprised Lily.
"Outsmarted them again, i see." the blue-haired knight said. I nodded, bringing up my ZeraLog, showing a view of her room from a camera on the ceiling.
"I'll give 'em three minutes before they realize the stall tactic." i said. It only took just over one before the three girls barged into the room, proceeding to send stuff all over the place. It was just as Tequila noticed her spellbook that they realized i had gotten away.
"FUCK YOU, JACE!" Tequila screamed, furious that i had once again escaped.
"Watch your language, Tequila, there's a 14-year-old in the room." Nano said.

"A four-way fight?" the pink-haired knight asked.
"Sure. This way i can get some skills for when i get the drop on Dieta." i answered.
"Why do you want to do that?" Deliana, the green-haired knight, asked.
"I don't want her turning Anise against the Angels. Lily, you should have SEEN the blush she had on her face, the suave voice i was using left her a shy, stuttering mess."
"And this was your first encounter with her?!" Lily asked. "How could she suddenly get a MASSIVE crush on someone she only just met?"
"No clue. Anyway, are we just gonna stand here or are we gonna fight?" With that, the battle was on. Most strikes were blocked, but it was about five minutes in when i decided to get serious. Going for an overhead swing on Menorca, i smirk as she raises her sword to block. Instead i deliberately miss six inches in front of her - only to suddenly activate the Shining Sword Attack, with the ki blast sending the pink-haired knight into a pillar.
The sinister CRACK that accompanied the impact indicated that her leg was broken.
"MENORCA!" Deliana yelled, turning to her injured comrade.
She never knew of my kick to her arm until it connected with another sinister CRACK. Then i turned toward Lily, rushing towards her. After managing to vanish into thin air to avoid a strike i was able to land a slash that cut the bangs over her left eye. She then proceeded to turn around, as i had rematerialized behind her.
"SOLAR FLARE!" i yelled, the flash of light blinding the blue-haired knight before she had any time to react. While she was recovering i proceeded to land multiple hits from her right side, before shifting to her left - which she surprisingly blocked.
"Seems like someone's wearing a contact over their eye." i said. Lily surprisingly decided to forfeit the battle, which made me think that contact was hiding something. I then proceeded to activate the teleportation spell i got from Kahlua's spellbook, warping the two of us to Lily's Emblem Frame, Eagle Gazer. Once we were a good ways away from Seldar Lily turned to me.
"What made you decide to forfeit?" i asked her. Lily answered by removing the contact i had anticipated in her eye - revealing it to be red in color. "Yeah, i figured blue wasn't your left eye's natural color. Now, if you'll excuse me, i got a mage to eliminate." With that, i teleported away again. Dieta never saw it coming as i proceeded to unleash a massive array of slashes that sprayed her blood all over the room. There was no way she could've survived all of that.
After returning to the Luxiole to clean up from the brutal mutilation that claimed Dieta's life i then teleported once more, this time to where Anise was staying. Having switched my normal wear for a tux i had been saving, and with my hair slicked back, i further emphasized the suave gentleman i had previously spoke to her as. Lightly knocking on the door i could hear movement inside. It didn't take long for Anise to open the door.
"Jace! Nice look." the redhead said as she noticed me.
"Thanks. I take it you like it." i responded.
"Like it? It suits you quite well. Makes you look even more like a suave gentleman than the outfit you wore in the earlier encounter."
"Thanks. Glad you like it."
"Yeah. By the way, do you by chance know who the recruiter for the Angel Wing is?"
"You have an Emblem Frame?" i asked.
"Follow me." Anise said. I did just that, and in what looked like a hangar of sorts was a wine red Emblem Frame.
"Nice coloration. Goes well with your hair."
"Thanks." Anise said, a scarlet blush on her face. "Unit 005, Relic Raider. Fastest of the Emblem Frames, but with rather weak armor."
"And the hyper weapon?"
"Genocide Bomber. Basically a massive bomb with insane strength."
"Fortunately i happen to know the location of a trial you can take to show that you belong with the Angel Wing. I'll get Tact to open a camera feed if you get there by 1500 hours tomorrow."
"Sure thing, Jace."
