Chapter 5: Amethyst Chaos

Lily's POV

I'll admit i've been nervous for the past couple days. After Jace busted me and the other female Angels (sans Anise, who was the damsel in distress) for a plot regarding Unit Z who knows what he and Anise have planned.

Anywho, we had just reached planet Pico for there was an emergency with Nano. No idea how, but we were hit by something that caused a multitude of injuries on board.

Kahlua was the only one of us not in her uniform. Tact (probably on the suggestion of either Jace or Anise) had scheduled a training session for her and forced her to partake in the battle to create a path to Femto in her training outfit. Maybe it had something to do with whatever Jace and Anise had planned for her. The only thing i know about it is that they needed Forte to contact Vivi if she knew someone who could help them with their plan.

"Nano, you okay?" Vanilla asked. In the four years since the end of the Val-Fasq war Vanilla, now 17, had grown up a bit into a rather pretty teen.

"Yeah. Must've overworked myself after that bizarre impact from something."

"Next time, don't overwork it."

"Okay."

"But what's this i heard about you being involved in a scheme that nearly killed another Angel?" Vanilla asked, her tone changing.

"Tact, you said you wouldn't tell her!" Nano exclaimed.

"I did. But i never said anything about Jace telling her. And it was his ZeraLog that recorded the evidence." Tact stated.

Jace told her?! AND he had evidence through his ZeraLog?! How did his ZeraLog record it? He told me it could connect to something subconsciously and -

"FUCK!" i yelled, swinging my arm at something.

A smashing noise met me. Opening my eyes i noticed a nanomachine holding chamber had smashed on the floor.

"What the hell, Lily?!" Vanilla exclaimed. I was about to say something when two armored figures grabbed me by the arms.

"Miss Sherbet, you're coming with us." one of them said in a distorted male voice. The duo carried me to a shuttle that took me back to the Luxiole. They then locked me in the Luxiole's brig.

"Miss Sherbet, you did a bad thing there. Combined with your involvement in the scheme that almost killed Anise, we were sent to collect you for your punishment from your involvement." the other explained in a distorted female voice.

"Who sent you?" i asked.

"Jace Davies did. He even gave us this as a way to try to convince you to agree to it." the male said. He then pulled a sword from behind him - my eyes widened in horror, as the sword in question was one my mom had given me. The two armored figures then proceeded to attempt to break it in front of me, but i wouldn't let them.

"Please don't do it! I'll do anything!" i pleaded, tears flowing from my eyes.

"Anything?" the female armored figure asked.

"Yes! Please just don't do it, my mom gave me that."

Okay, who suggested THIS? I was already regretting giving in to wanting to protect my mom's gift.

This outfit the armored figures made me wear was far more revealing than my normal outfit. It consisted of a top that was even skimpier than the one Anise normally wore, a skirt that was considerably shorter than the shortest one any Angel Wing member had worn previously, and VERY high stiletto pumps.

"Looking good, miss." the female armored figure said.

"Who provided THIS outfit?! It's just so revealing. And i'm not sure if i can walk in these heels, they're so extreme." i wondered.

"A friend of Vivi's by the name of Rosa Copeland gave us the outfit. Fortunately Jace and Anise needed her for what they needed in order to give Miss Marjoram her punishment for the scheme." the male said.

"What do they have planned for Kahlua?" i asked.

"You'll see." the female said. Ten minutes later Kahlua walked in. Or at least she TRIED to, for her usual thigh boots had been replaced with a pair of double-locking thigh high ballet boots.

"Who're the two armored figures?" Kahlua asked, holding onto a nearby surface to try and keep her balance. The figures then removed their helmets - revealing them to be Jace and Anise.

"I'll admit, the way you two were talking had me fooled, especially with the helmets distorting your voices." i said. "But who gave you the armor?"

"I did." a female voice said. Glancing in the direction from where it came i was shocked to see Coronet there. And she wasn't in her usual engineer wear, either. "Consider this payback for almost killing me."

"Well, i didn't expect Jace to adapt to the armor on the fly." i admitted. At this point Jace and Anise had fully removed the armor - and to my surprise Anise was now in ankle-strap ballet flats. Probably for more protection while in the armor.

It was even more surprising when two girls i hadn't seen before walked in. One had very long chocolate brown hair with wine red highlights and was in a red tube top bearing what looked like a winged rainbow star that had a golden X inside it over the number 500R, a skirt that reached mid-thigh, and lace-up thigh high ballet boots. Her partner also had very long hair, exactly half-light brown and half-golden blonde, a steel-colored tube top bearing the same winged rainbow star but nothing else, teal sweatpants, and black non-platform ankle-strap stiletto pumps that were locked on. But her heels looked higher than the pair i was in.

"Oh my gosh!" Anise squealed excitedly. "The Metal Wyvern herself, on the Luxiole!"

"Metal Wyvern?" Rico asked.

"She's referring to me." the blonde/brunette hybrid answered. "Jasmine Levesque, Delta 2 of the Rainbow Angels."

"Rainbow Angels?" Kahlua asked, even more confused than Rico.

"It's a group of XQ agents linked in a single Level 4-Omega Delta Advanced Soul Bond focusing on the group's leader, Jet. Despite officially being both genders at once, Jet's the lone male of the group." Jasmine explained.

"The group's insignia is on the tube tops Jasmine and i have on." the other girl added. "Rosa's the name. Rosa Copeland."

"I can understand you providing what Jace and Anise needed for Kahlua's punishment in that scheme, thigh high ballet boots are your specialty." i said. "What i don't get is where you got the idea for this outfit i'm being forced to wear for my involvement."

"That was actually as a reference to my past experience as a prostitute." Rosa stated. "Jasmine started out as one herself, but her more revealing outfit still concealed enough to hide that fact."

"But what's this scheme you're referring to?" Jasmine asked.

"With the exception of Kazuya, the other Angels put Anise in a dangerous situation where a massive number of automated ships had her surrounded; she would've died if i hadn't been able to get Unit Z active." Jace explained. "They made sure Kazuya was unable to partake in the battle, viewing him as a threat, and hid the fact the ships surrounding Anise were actually completely unarmed and very weakly armored as a fall-back plan for in case i couldn't get Unit Z working." He then threw what appeared to be a small box to Jasmine, who caught it.

"Kahlua," Anise began, giggling, "let's just say you're stuck in those heels now."

"While i will admit that plan was pretty well thought out, it was still a mean thing to do." Rosa said. "But who provided the ships?"

Forte's POV

"What's the big idea behind your actions, Stollen?" an unknown figure asked of me on an open transmission.

"Well, with Vivi destroying the Crust Breakers with her Chrono Eclipse Cannon, combined with Dieta's death, i had enough incentive to go rogue. While i will admit what four of the Angels were planning was mean, it helped them become one unit stronger. Did you try hacking that virus in order to find how to negate it?"

"Yeah. Didn't get far though. Darn firewall intercepted me, couldn't find a way through."

"Well, whoever created it sure knows how to protect their creations."

"Still, though, your betrayal's warranted -" he didn't get to finish, as a sword suddenly embedded itself in the side of his head. Verel fell over, dead. Whoever threw the sword then entered the picture from the same side the sword came from.

It was a girl with extremely long red hair bearing numerous accents aligned 60/40 advantage amethyst, plus two sections of her fringe were other colors (one was blonde, the other dark blue). From what i could see of her outfit she was in a red tube top that exposed so much of her midriff that it could be confused for a strapless sports bra, cyan gloves that reached well past her elbows, and a miniskirt that was yellow with one ring at the base. Strapped to her back was a sheath which i assumed was for the sword that impaled Verel's head.

Speaking of the sword, she had pulled it out of Verel's head and put it in the sheath - with both turning invisible once she released the sword.

"Wow, Amethyst! How'd you pull that off?" i asked her.

"It's a security measure i placed on Starcalibur and its sheath. When i need the blade i reach back, grab where the handle would be, and both turn visible; when i'm done i put the sword back in the sheath, release my hold on it, and both turn invisible. This way nobody can try to swipe it when i don't need it."

"Pretty impressive."

"I know. Did he try hacking that virus Vivi gave ya?"

"Yeah, but he didn't get far. Ran into a firewall he couldn't get through."

"That firewall gave away his position, that's why i got the drop on him. What did you need the virus for?"

"Four of the female Angels pulled a mean prank on your local variant. The ships involved were modded to have no weapons whatsoever and extremely weak armor, which wouldn't be revealed in battle unless they had to resort to the fall-back plan if Jace Davies couldn't activate Unit Z."

"So that's what Maranda was talking to Rosa about. Jace must've busted them. Nice to know he's putting the ZeraLog Delta 7 gave him to good use."

"I take it Vivi contacted Maranda, who relayed what was going on to Rosa. Jace told me what he had planned for Kahlua, which is what he needed Rosa for, and i'm assuming she came up with an idea for Lily before she got there, but there's one thing i don't know of."

"What's that?"

"What do they have planned for Rico and Nano?"
