Sky Dimension Knight S2 04
Chp 04 Advance Arc: The future's past
It had been one week since the infamous J-Ark disaster and while the details that were released to the news were sketchy all the general public knew was that there was some kind of accident off the coast of Japan involving the naval forces from the SDF (Self Defense Force) and several ships were lost.
In fact with the help of the German carrier that was in the area they were able to rescue most of the crew from the downed ships.
As for the IS Academy students who were present at the accident they were debriefed by one of the higher-ups from the German military and the German military decided to pick up the tab for any counseling or therapy that the students needed.
As for Naruto, Celia, NISA, Kurumi and RED they were awarded a medal for their services in defending the carrier and even though it was a secret ceremony but members of the German military which mostly consisted of the people who served on the carrier and their superiors gained a bit of respect for all of them. Even Laura was honored for her actions on the carrier.
As all of them were coming off of the stage Kurumi took a few steps to the side and looked at her award. 'Am I happy because of the award or is it because he's still safe?' Clenching her hand around the small award she looked to the sky.
'Still that feeling I felt what was that?'
[Flashback from Kurumi's point of view]
She had just reloaded her pistols once more and she saw that Naruto was using his IS to keep the carrier stable but the S-7 drones defending him were soon dwindling away in numbers.
'Oh no Naruto!' Dodging threw fire from the V-9's she was almost to him when suddenly a drone appeared right in front of Naruto ready to fire on him. 'No...'
Kurumi raised her hand to fire her pistol but as she did so she felt like her movements had slowed down immensely. 'Wh-what's going on?' Suddenly it was like time warped back in and Kurumi found herself pointing her pistol at a girl.
There was a brief conversation between the girl and Naruto before he dropped the ship down on her hand and flew off towards the engine.
With Naruto gone Kurumi observed the girl and saw that she was somehow able to easily lift the carrier without so much as a sweat. Looking up at Kurumi the girl smiled and mouthed the words with teary eyes. "I've finally found you mother..."
[End Flashback]
"Hey Kurumi?" Naruto was looking at her with a puzzled look. "Are you alright Kurumi? You've just kinda been in a daze over there."
"Oh yeah I'm fine Naruto." Kurumi replied giving Naruto a reassuring smile.
"Well if you say so...anyways want to go and get something to eat I know a few places around here that serves great food and besides we should celebrate." Naruto looked down at the award in his hand before looking back to Kurumi. "After all it's not every day we're given something like this."
"Sure Naruto." Kurumi replied giving him a smile before the two of them departed to Naruto's favorite eating place Ichiraku ramen.
[At Ichiraku Ramen]
Naruto and Kurumi took their seats at the counter when the waitress came by. "Hey there Naruto here again? So what'll it be this time?"
"The usual you know Ayame-san and the same thing for my friend." Naruto replied giving one of his oldest friend a good-natured smile.
"Oh and who is this girl? Have you gone astray now that Nepgear is gone?" Teased Ayame.
"No she's a friend from school Ayame-san we just got done with a school activity so now we're just getting some lunch."
"Oh..." Ayame came round and whispered into Naruto's ear. "Wow you certainly have very good tastes in friends."
Naruto looked at Ayame with wide eyes before Ayame skipped happily away leaving Naruto to suddenly jolt up slamming his hand into the table. "O-oi where do you think you're going Ayame-san?! Come back here and let me explain!"
Naruto followed Ayame to the back trying his best to explain the situation while at the same time Ayame couldn't help but break out into laughter when she heard Naruto try to explain himself which meant that he further dug himself into his grave when he brought up Blanc, Uni, Laura and Celia.
At the same time on the other side of town Laura had decided to join Celia for some afternoon tea.
[With Celia and Laura]
The both of them were seated at a rather fancy tea shop which made Laura stand out as she was still dressed in her military attire in contrast to Celia who was properly dressed in what could be said as noble clothes for males but for women.
"So Laura what would you like to order?" Celia asked as she observed the menu, looking up Celia noticed how Laura seemed to be very uncomfortable seating in such a fine place.
"Laura please try and relax just like everyone else here we are guests so hold your head up high and tell me what you would like to drink it's my treat." Laura nodded and picked up the menu hesitantly, looking through it Laura saw that she could not recognize anything that was on the menu the different tea types, flavors and what not.
"Perhaps I will pick it out for you Laura." Celia smiled reassuringly to Laura who nodded.
'This is how a gentle lady is...if I like Naruto and can't do something as simple as ordering food then...'
In the meantime Celia raised her hand and ordered drinks for the both of them when the tea arrived Celia helped to prepare it before giving the cup over to Laura. "Here you go Laura enjoy the tea."
"Ah thank you Celia." Laura accepted the cup of tea and followed Celia's actions when she drank it.
"Laura are you alright you seem uncomfortable?" asked Celia while she crossed her legs.
"..." Laura kept silent and looked away. "I-I'm fine Celia it's just I've been thinking maybe you could teach me how to be more ladylike!"
Celia looked at Laura strangely. "Just what do you mean by that Laura?"
"I want to appear more lady-like towards Naruto."
Celia just smiled and placed her tea cup back onto its plate. "Now why would you want to do that Laura?"
"It's because I want to become closer to Naruto in a way that is normal...I want to be normal!"
Suddenly without any warning the doors to the café were thrown open and in walked 5 men each of them wore a white mask over their faces and all of them carried an assortment of weapons. "Alright everyone in this room stop what you are doing right now and get on the ground now!"
Most of the people in the café dropped to their knees and placed their hands on their heads while one robber went up to the cashier and slammed a bag in front of the cashier's face while pointing his sub-machine gun at her face. "Put all the money in the bag now!"
As for Laura when the robbers arrived she wanted to activate her IS however it might put the others in danger so for the moment she complied with their orders, as for Celia she continued to sit in her chair sipping her tea as if nothing was wrong.
"Hey bitch! Didn't you hear what I said! Get down on your knees now!" The gunman screamed at Celia all while pointing his gun at the back of her head.
However Celia simply took another sip of her tea and placed the cup down back onto its plate before looking at the man who pointed the gun at her. "I would rather you not do that."
"Oh why not?" The man asked mockingly.
"Because right now you are in my range!" Almost instantly Celia swung about and her fist met the man's face sending him flying off into the wall while at the same time Celia spun around and grabbed a hold of his gun and fired off two shots into the man who was holding Laura and the others prisoner.
Once the robber holding them dropped to the ground Laura rolled about and fired off more shots into the kneecaps of two more robbers dropping them to the ground.
"Damn it! I'll kill you all!" The Final robber ducked under the counter and fired off multiple shots wildly, reloading his gun once more the final robber peeked over the counter and found the lance of the Guinevere along with the railgun of the Schwarzer Regen pointed at him.
"Now will you surrender nicely or are we going to have to prove whose gun is bigger?" The final robber gulped dropped his rifle and raised his hands into the air.
A while later police and paramedics arrived on the scene to take the robbers captive which brings us to the discussion that was happening between Laura and Celia.
"So as I was saying before Laura why would you want to become more like me? You are perfect just the way you are and trying to imitate me won't help you gain Naruto's attention." Laura looked at Celia with a questioning look.
"What do you mean by that Celia?"
Celia could only give a small giggle. "Don't you realize it Laura Naruto doesn't care how you act so long as you are true to yourself."
Laura looked away and closed her eye before she returned her gaze to Celia and smiled. "Yeah you're right Celia now if you'll excuse me I need to go see Naruto and tell him all about the day I had today!"
With that said Laura ran off looking for Naruto leaving Celia alone.
"Miss Celia are you alright?" A man in shades asked before he bowed. "I sincerely apologize for everything that happened we should have paid more attention please accept our most humble apologies."
"Please it was nothing and besides I do think that today was a rather effective day overall." Celia replied with a small smile on her face.
[With Naruto and Kurumi a few days after the ramen lunch]
Naruto and Kurumi met up for as, Naruto called it 'not a date but rather a trip into town.'
Down by the train station Naruto wore Namikaze industries 'uniform' which consisted of a jacket in the owners preferred color and in Naruto's case it was orange. Under it was a mostly white shirt and the pants were white with a shade of light blue added in. (I.E this is the Celestial Being uniform from Gundam 00 S2)
Pulling his sleeve back Naruto checked his watched. "Well it's almost time..." Looking up Naruto saw in the distance Kurumi running towards him in her hands was a small bag.
"Sorry about being late Naruto but my guest wanted to come along." Kurumi brought up her bag and from it popped out Neko-san who jumped out of Kurumi's bag and landed in Naruto's hands.
"Meow!"
Naruto laughed and gave Neko-san a few pats on the head, once happy Neko-san jumped back into Kurumi's bag and snuggled down below. "So Kurumi ready to head out?"
Kurumi nodded as they went off into town.
In town as they travelled through the various shops Neko-san suddenly jumped out of Kurumi's bag. "Eh Neko-san!" Kurumi called out trying to grab onto said cat but it was too late as the cat ran off and headed straight towards a pet store.
In almost an instant from the entrance of the store Neko-san came out and behind it were almost all the cats from the store.
"Ahhh!" Kurumi cried out as she was tackled by all the cats.
"Kurumi! Are you alright?" Naruto asked as he brushed the dust from his eyes only to see all the cats and Neko-san crawling all over Kurumi all while she played around with each and every cat.
Naruto smiled and whipped out his phone to take a picture of such a cute scene.
A few minutes after Naruto and Kurumi returned all the cats to the pet store with Naruto and Kurumi apologizing to the store owner for the incident.
As they were exiting the store Kurumi apologized for the trouble but Naruto just brushed it off saying that it was no trouble at all, as they were walking back to the train station they bumped into Nepgear who did not seem happy at all.
[A week or so later]
Naruto was at an air base on an attachment for Namikaze industries, he wasn't meant to be here but the atmosphere between him and Nepgear had been rather intense that he needed a bit of room away from her especially when she found out about Celia.
Naruto tried to explain himself but Nepgear was acting like Uni usually did and just like he expected both Uni and Blanc were also not talking to him, though at least Rom, Ram and Noire wanted to hear his reason.
Noire was rather reasonable about the situation and agreed to talk to Uni on his behalf and Rom and Ram wanted Naruto to treat them to some ice cream before agreeing to talk to Blanc for him.
As for Nepgear she decided to ignore Naruto and Neptune wasn't of much help cause she decided to ignore Naruto as well leaving him in the middle of the lake without a paddle.
Minato and Kushina noticed the tense atmosphere between them and so they assigned Naruto to head out to a nearby military base to act as the company representative for dealing with the military equipment they were shipping there.
Naruto wearing his uniform clipboard in hand went through the equipment that he brought from the company.
"Um Mr. Namikaze please follow me." A soldier replied before leading Naruto into a secluded hanger where he turned on the lights to reveal a sleek fighter colored in green?
"Um soldier why is the jet green? The last report I got said that the jets should be red and blue."
"Um I don't know Mr. Namikaze..."
Suddenly there was a knock on the metal doors of the hanger grabbing the attention of Naruto and the soldier. At the door to the hanger the both of them saw a girl who seemed to be about a year or two older than Naruto, she had green hair tied into twin tails and currently she was wearing a tight fitting pilot suit that had armor on certain parts.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked.
"Me?" The girl pointed to herself. "My name is Cui Yifei ex-pilot of the XF-21 Sorpressa."
"Cui Yifei...that's not a Japanese name right?"
Yifei smiled and snapped her finger. "Yep that's right my mom is Japanese but my dad is Chinese."
"So um you mind explaining why the Sorpressa is green Yifei?"
"Oh I did it cause I thought that I was going to be the pilot for it but it seems that the commanders are going to be moving me up to a new unit."
"Hmm so I'm going to assume the parts I brought aren't just for the Sorpressa?! There is another unit I'm supposed to upgrade?"
"Yep." Yifei simply replied before Naruto shook his head and got the soldier to help him open the hanger doors allowing more technician from the company to enter and start work on the Sorpressa, as the technicians filed in Naruto introduced himself to Yifei.
At the same time Naruto opened up his laptop and started to communicate with Saber with the earpiece which was connected to his laptop. Currently he was running calculations based on the performance of the Arthur.
"So wait Saber you're telling me that the last time I used the Arthur wasn't even 50% of its entire power?"
[Yes Master Naruto the last time you deployed the Arthur not even half of it's combat capabilities have been fully shown.]
Saber pulled up multiple forms of the Arthur which surprised Naruto as the number of forms the Arthur had far exceeded the number of forms that the Akatsubaki had.
"So Saber what generation of IS would the Arthur be considered Saber?"
[Master Jiraiya considers it the world's very first 5th generation IS though I would take it with a grain of salt.]
"True true." Suddenly Naruto felt something soft on the top of his head.
"Hey there Naruto what you looking at?"
Naruto's eyes looked up and he saw Yifei currently dressed in her outdoor wear and her breasts were leveled on his head, soon the staring at her breasts caused Naruto to light up like a Christmas light.
"Waah!" Cried out Naruto as he got out from under Yifei's breasts, as soon as Naruto was out from under Yifei's breasts, said girl pulled back and started laughing.
"Hahahaha! Your reaction is priceless Naruto." Naruto dusted off his uniform and looked at Yifei with a bit of irritation while Yifei looked at. ''What cha doing Naruto?"
"I'm doing some checks on my IS." Naruto replied before something hit him. "That reminds me Yifei. Why aren't you an IS pilot? I mean nowadays most females are groomed into being IS pilots so why not you?"
"Oh was the pilot suit I wore earlier not good enough for you Naruto? Maybe you prefer something more skintight?" Yifei replied back in a rather sensual manner adding in a sexual pose for effect.
"No! No...I don't mean that!...Wait what am I saying?!" Naruto ruffled his hair and walked back and forth before finally returning to Yifei's side water bottle in his hand. "Ok now that I've calmed down why aren't you an IS pilot Yifei?"
"Well I don't know just never really got into it so I turned to the military where I found my true calling and I went forward never looking back, my parents have always supported me in my decision so I see no need to switch." Naruto nodded and was about to open his laptop again when Yifei suddenly pulled on Naruto's hand and got him to follow her.
"Hey Yifei where are we going?" Naruto asked as he was pulled on by Yifei.
"I got something to show you!" Yifei cried out before the both of them reached a hanger. "This is my 2nd new sweet honey."
Yifei pressed her thumb on the scanner and the door snapped open and Yifei pushed Naruto into the room and turned on the lights. "Introducing the XFJ-01a Phase 2 Unit 2!"
Before Naruto now stood a humanoid shaped machine that was almost 20 meters tall and currently painted red and white, Yifei went up to the machine and patted it's feet. "Yeah this here is my newest darling maybe you might recognize it from a design perspective."
Naruto went up to it and finally noticed it. "Yeah some of the designs are similar to my old Aestivalis designs I submitted a long time ago...wow it's been a while since I've taken a look at them."
"Yup you guessed it Naruto! The XFJ-01a Phase 2 is basically a modified Aestivalis, the OS and main frame is a Namikaze industries one but the modifications are all us."
Naruto was caught up in memories as he remembered working on the designs alongside his father and grandfather when he was staying with them. "So you wanna try it out?" Naruto ecstatically nodded leading Yifei to push him into a simulator room and set him down in one machine while she took the other one.
As the XFJ-01 cockpit came on Naruto grabbed a hold of the two control sticks and prepared himself, and once the simulator was fully activated Naruto saw himself facing against a second XFJ-01 that was painted in green and wielding a heavy caliber gun in its left hand while a sword was attached to its shoulders pylons.
On his XFJ-01 which was colored white and black and he had the same armaments as her.
"So Naruto you ready to see what she can do?"
"You bet!" Naruto replied before he gripped his control sticks and pressed down on the pedals propelling his unit forward.
When Naruto was within range he opened fire on Yifei who just simply strafed to the side and returned fire, their bullets shells clattering to the ground.
Naruto ran out of ammo first and most of his shots missed while the few rare shot hit Yifei straight on, as for Yifei most of her shots found their marks in the armor of Naruto's units.
Throwing their guns aside both Naruto and Yifei drew their swords and started circling around one another each of them waiting for the other to make the first move and reveal themselves.
Naruto was the first to move as he charged towards Yifei swinging his sword downwards Yifei brought her blade up parrying Naruto's strike forcing him back. Not deterred Naruto brought his blade up again and continued his aggressive assault on Yifei.
Inside her XFJ Yifei smiled and giggled. "Heh...Naruto's really aggressive in his attacks but it won't work!" On his final strike Yifei successfully blocked it and knocked Naruto's sword out of his hand with her first strike and with her second strike she cut off his mechs right hand.
Sliding back wards Naruto pushed his mech back onto its feet and rebalanced itself. "Damn it Yifei took off my main arm...still maybe..." Taking his hands off of the control sticks Naruto opened the console on the XFJ and quickly started typing.
"This will end it Naruto!" Yifei engaged her thrusters and charged towards Naruto but before Yifei could even cross half the distance.
Naruto's XFJ remaining hand started to glow and he took off towards Yifei's own unit however before either of them could claim victory the entire simulation system crashed.
[Outside]
Yifei and Naruto stepped out of their simulators. "Hey Naruto just what happened? The entire system crashed!"
"Um yeah that might be my fault...See when I was working on the Aestivalis design I came up with a theory that by storing the energy within the frame it could be released with a massive amount of explosive force and the frame would act as the conduit for the force." Naruto used his laptop to run the numbers to show Yifei. "But still I don't think the actual system is able to run the numbers which is what led to the crash."
"I see so the amount of force would have essentially blown apart my entire mech which means you would have won had the move worked." Yifei noted as she nodded her head. "Not bad for a guy whose never even piloted the actual version."
"Hey don't say that you're a great pilot too Yifei and I would be proud if you were the pilot of this unit."
"Thanks Naruto still I think you deserve something for beating me...oh I know." Yifei went up to Naruto and planted a small kiss on Naruto's cheek making him blush and reached up for it just as Yifei walked away and Naruto's phone started to ring.
Outside Yifei stopped and laid behind the door. "Heh he is just like I imagined."
"WHAT!" Naruto screamed.
"Looks like he just got the news...I wonder when he'll propose?" Yifei slowly walked away smiling.
[Timeskip]
At IS Academy the entire place was bustling with activity, today was the day for the annual IS exhibition matches whose participants were the 2nd and 3rd years. The 1st years were given a break this year due to the earlier incident concerning the Golem unit.
Right now Blanc, Nepgear, Uni, Celia and Laura were laid out on a mat looking up at a huge screen. Joining them was Gust, Neptune, Vert, Noire, Rom, Ram, NISA and even RED joined them though she was suspiciously eyeing Rom and Ram which made the two of them huddle closer to Blanc.
"C'mon Rom-chan Ram-chan take these sweets! Don't worry they won't do anything to you." A drooling RED said as she opened her hand with a few colorfully wrapped candies and offered them to Rom and Ram.
"RED leave Rom and Ram alone." Scolded Naruto as he returned to the mat with his hands full of drinks.
"Thanks Naruto but don't think I've forgiven you yet." Uni replied before taking her drink from Naruto.
"Same here but thank you for the drinks." Blanc replied taking her drink from Naruto as well.
The other girls took their drinks and thanked Naruto before he too sat down and opened his drink. 'Hmm I wonder if Kurumi is alright she seemed sad for some reason.'
[With Kurumi]
"Yes...Yes I understand I'll make my move today but what about Annoydeath? What if he makes a move today?" Kurumi asked.
"Don't worry if he does then I'll take care of it just make sure to take the shot I don't know what would happen if we let this continue."
"I will...for Naruto and the future."
"Yes for Naruto and the future."
[Back with Naruto]
He was paying attention to both Rom and Ram as they showed him the new monsters that they caught, then suddenly Nepgear stood up and went to some place.
Naruto stopped both Rom and Ram before they could continue and he followed after Nepgear, Uni and Blanc wanted to follow but Celia stopped them. "Don't I think they need this time alone."
Both Blanc and Uni nodded.
[With Nepgear and Naruto]
Nepgear stopped along the edge of the shore and picked up a stone before tossing it into the surrounding lake.
Naruto approached from behind and sighed, picking up a stone he tossed it into the lake where it skipped a few times. "You were never really very good when it came to skipping stones. 10 years and you've never really guess it out."
"I guessed so but this kind of finesse has never been my forte...We have been kind of like two halves of the same piece you were the technical side while I was more on the practical side."
"Listen Nepgear I know you're angry about everything that's happened to us but I don't want to lose you as a friend...you're my closest friend Nepgear and I do care for you but Uni, Blanc, Laura and even Celia are my friends as well."
"I see...maybe you're right Naruto I have been a little childish and I'm sorry can you forgive me Naruto?" Naruto smiled and nodded going forward and hugging Nepgear and Nepgear happily returned the hug.
[Bang!] Naruto was suddenly hit in the back from a bullet that was supposed to be aimed at Nepgear.
"No...No!" Kurumi screamed out as she threw her rifle aside. "I-I'm sorry Naruto!"
Nepgear shouldered Naruto who was coughing up a bit of blood. "N-Naruto! Naruto!" Putting him down Nepgear looked over and in the distance there was a small glint that caught her attention.
"You...You hurt Naruto!" Transforming into her new IS Nepgear took off and when she closed the distance she saw Kurumi crying.
"Kurumi? You were the one who shot Naruto why?" Nepgear asked.
Kurumi looked up tears running down her face. "I never meant for that to happen Nepgear you were right your existence is a curse to everyone around you! So today I'll take care of you once and for all." Transforming in a blinding light Kurumi was now dressed in a gothic Lolita dress, her hair tied up in uneven twin tails.
"Die Nepgear!" Raising her pistols Kurumi fired at Nepgear.
[Back with everyone else]
The screen showing the fights suddenly cut out and there was the symbol of [Sound only] before it disappeared and the image of a light green haired man appeared seated on a large sofa and behind him were many people though their appearance was hidden behind a shadow.
"To all the People of Earth we are the A-laws and today you shall pay for your crimes against humanity starting with the IS Academy." The feed suddenly cut out and at the arena where the fights were taking place, explosions happened all around the arena, security at the arena immediately sounded the alarm alerting the nearby military forces.
All over the world military bases were under attack by giant mechs that were standing slightly taller than 30 meters, and all of them were holding weapons resembling giant lances that was able to fire lasers.
With Yifei she launched in her XFJ-01 unit 02 along with the rest of her squadron of Sorpressa fighters escort and she was ready to receive orders from command but at the moment their communications were scrambled to hell and back. "Damn it what is going on?!"
"Lieutenant Yifei communications are currently scrambled what should we do? You are the highest ranking officer at the moment so we'll follow your orders."
Yifei had to think for a moment before she replied. "We go to IS academy after all that's where the broadcast said they were going." With that said Yifei and her squadron headed towards IS academy.
[At IS academy]
Suddenly from above red lasers were fired at the school building but thankfully the school's shield activated in time taking all the damage.
For Blanc she quickly took both Rom and Ram into the school's bunker where the other students were hiding. "All students with personal IS units the order has been given to launch! Repeat All students with personal IS units the order has been given to launch and defend the school!"
"Rom, Ram stay here and keep your head down!" Blanc yelled over the noise as she patted both of them on the head.
"No Blanc! Do-Don't go please!" Both Ram and Rom held onto Blanc's hand unwilling to let go.
"Rom Ram please. I need to go, I know you're scared but I have to do this for you and everyone else." Blanc pulled her sisters off of her hand and passed them over to a teacher who promptly closed the door and locked down the bunker.
Once the bunker was closed Blanc went and joined Uni, Celia, Laura, NISA and RED who had already summoned there is units.
"Alright then let's do this!" Blanc replied in a voice that was laced with hidden fury before she summoned her IS and launched into the air.
[With Nepgear]
She staved off another shot from Kurumi and closed the distance trying her best to land a hit but even then she couldn't even hurt Kurumi who simply slammed the butts of her guns into Nepgear sending her reeling back in pain.
"Y-You! I'll get you Kurumi!" Nepgear shot forward and her sudden burst of speed caught Kruumi off guard forcing her to block. "Why did you shoot Naruto!"
Kurumi narrowed her eyes in anger. "No I never meant for Naruto to get hurt...that bullet was meant for you Nepgear!" Kurumi pushed back sending Nepgear back.
[With the other girls]
They had fought off numerous suits but still they continually appeared, suddenly there was a huge energy spike off the scales and some kind of rift appeared and disappeared as soon as it appeared.
In it's place was the King J-Der and many other strange mecha.
"Wildwurger B alright!"
"Wildfalken B ok!"
"Thrudgelmir all system are alright!"
"Rapiecage here you know your orders we have to get rid of these scum who would eventually bring the world to ruin!"
"Roger!" The pilots of the Wildfalken and Wildwurger replied as for the pilot of the Thrudgelmir, one look at Celia and he charged off towards her without another word.
[With Naruto]
He had suddenly awoken and tried to move but the pain was so excruciating that he almost blacked out again, looking into the sky he saw small the small exchanged of fire happening between the opposing forces but one thing caught his eye.
It was a strange mech and it was heading straight for Celia. "D-damn...Saber activate IS now shields and thrust maximum power!"
[Master Naruto I would not recommend such a course of action your injuries are rather grave.]
"J-just do it Saber!"
[...Roger activating Arthur and rerouting power now.] Summoning forth his armor Naruto shot into the air.
[Play Dark Prison]
"Now watch as I turn your entire school into nothing but ashes!" Raising its arm into the air a large amount of energy that took the shape of a phoenix appeared. "J-Quath!"
Throwing its arm forward the phoenix was launched at the school burning everything down in its path.
Students who saw it turned there is units and opened fire hoping to stop the phoenix but their efforts were in vein as the phoenix just consumed all in its path.
[End Dark Prison]
[Play The Steel Ark]
Suddenly without warning another rift opened up and from it emerged the enormous bow of a ship that was gleaming white and blue while a rather armored and demonic looking mech stood on the front of the bow.
[Energy rerouted to the bow of the ship master Axel.]
"Alright then Shirogane flank speed ahead we'll go straight for the phoenix before it hits the IS academy!" The thrusters of the Shirogane kicked into full drive as it sped forward alarms on the ship blaring. "Brace for impact!"
The Phoenix and the Shirogane met head on and there was an enormous plume of fire surrounding the immediate area in smoke but from it emerged the Shirogane damaged but otherwise still fine, still kicking in high gear and slammed it's bow into the King J-Der knocking the towering mech off balance.
"Alright Saber launch Aestivalis defense squads and give covering fire all of us are launching alright."
[Yes master Axel]
A number of docking bays opened up on the Shirogane and from them launched more mechs two of which were similar to the ones belonging to the A-laws while the demonic" looking mech launched off the bow of the ship and headed straight for the King J-Der.
[With Nepgear]
She dodged to the side just as a sword came down forcing her back, turning to face her was someone that had lilac hair similar to her. "Who are you Nepgear asked?"
"I'm someone who knows you better than you yourself do!" She replied thrusting her sword forward and thus causing Nepgear to fall back.
"What do you mean by that?!" Nepgear growled out before charging at the mysterious girl who simply blocked Nepgear's attack with one hand, and in an effortless counter the girl sent Nepgear flying all the way back into the shield's of the school leaving a trail of smoke going almost a kilometer long.
"Kurumi are you alright?" The girl asked.
"Yeah she isn't as strong as you said it was almost insulting…oh look here she comes again."
"Don't worry about her I'll handle her." The girl replied before sending Kurumi away. "Now come Nepgear come to the death you deserve!"
In mid-air Nepgear met the strange girl with her sword with such force that it blew away all nearby clouds. "Don't mess with me! I'm not just a pretty face!" With a flurry of moves it seemed as though Nepgear had the girl on the ropes when suddenly the girl used a single slash and it absolutely destroyed her swords sending Nepgear flying backwards a small scratch that started to bleed inflicted on her face.
"Tch it looks like I'll have to use something far stronger to beat you!" Holding her hand out Nepgear summoned forth her new sword. "Come forth from legends! Caliburn!"
Taking hold of her sword with both hands Nepgear charged forward faster than the other girl had anticipated, and she raised Caliburn high into the air before delivering a decisive chop that shattered the visor of the girl revealing her identity.
[With Celia]
She was fighting off one giant mech when suddenly an enormous drill appeared and almost hit her but at the last moment she swerved out of the way and the drill hit another mech and tore a huge hole where the pilot was.
Turning around Celia saw her opponent behind her as he fist docked onto its left arm then in a large and booming voice the mech declared. "Celia Cumani! Today is your final day on this earth! This I swear because I am Wodan Ymir the blade that will cleave anything in my way!"
[Play The gate of Magus]
Holding his arm out to the side of the shoulder pad the Thrudgelmir grabbed it's sword that slowly extended to become almost as long as the mech's height, swinging the blade about the thrusters on the back of the Thrudgelmir kicked into full gear sending the towering mecha charging towards Celia cutting down even its own allies all to get to Celia.
In turn Celia directed all power towards her shields hoping to stand such an attack.
Instead Naruto suddenly appeared and pushed her out of the way just as the Thrudgelmir raised its sword into the air screaming. "CHESTOOOOOO!"
Somehow the Thrudgelmir had been able to cleave all the way through the shields of the Arthur and had caused an even more fatal injury to the already injured Naruto.
"No Dad!" Axel rushed forth in his mech, the Coustwell, which was also backed up by a red Wildwurger and the Astelion.
"Damn I missed but not again!" The Thrudgelmir quickly turned around and prepared itself for another attack however he was intercepted by the Coustwell which rammed the Thrudgelmir head one sending the mech reeling backwards.
Once the two were at rest the Wildwurger and the Astelion took up defensive positions in front of the Arthur who was now being cradled by the Guinevere, Celia desperately trying to keep Naruto conscious.
"Latooni Ibis! Get both mom and dad out of here! He's mine!" Without another word the Coustwell charged towards the Thrudgelmir while the Astelion carefully wrapped it's hands around the Arthur and Guinevere.
"D-don't worry miss Celia I've got you...Astelion heading back to the Shirogane with both the Guinevere and Arthur in tow. Saber prepare the medical room for immediate operation!"
[At once lady Ibis]
However before both Latooni and Ibis could make their way back they were suddenly attacked by Yifei who had arrived at the school.
[Minutes Before]
Yifei and her group had just arrived at the academy and saw as the sky lit up in fire between the academies defense forces and those of the A-laws, currently without orders they were acting on their own volition.
"Lieutenant?"
"Right then you know what to do! Hit everything that isn't one of ours!" However before the entire group could break off and begin their attack they suddenly received a transmission from command.
[Message is as followed the Peoples Republic of China has agreed to surrender to the A-Laws all Chinese forces around the world are ordered to engage the enemies of the A-Laws any who do not comply with this order will be charged.]
The message repeated itself once more before turning off completely.
Yifei was stunned by the order and once again her men asked what they should do, taking in a deep breath and letting it out Yifei replied. "You heard the order men engage all forces who stand against the A-laws."
[Back to current time]
Yifei drew her sword and charged after Ibis but Latooni in her Wildwurger drew her sword and intercepted Yifei before she could get close to Ibis. "Ibis get them out of here now! I'll hold them off."
Inside of her cockpit Ibis nodded and flew back to the Shirogane.
[In space]
The leaders of the A-laws sat elegantly on his seat as he watched the invasion of earth but even with the A-laws overwhelming force the damned IS academy continued to stand in the way. "Looks like heavy force is needed to take care of them." Going over to a console he raised open a lid and pressed it.
On the exterior of the base thousands upon thousands of missiles were launched all of them headed for one place, IS Academy.
[At IS academy]
Sensors went blaring all around the Shirogane as Saber detected the missiles coming down on to their location, seeing no option left Saber contacted Saber.
[Saber do you read me?]
[Yes I do how strange for me to be talking to myself. How may I be of assistance?]
[Activate protocol G and use form D, by my calculations it should be enough to stop the missiles coming this way]
[...Complying Protocol G Activate]
From a secret hanger a single machine was launched and it flew straight for IS academy.
In Celia's arms the Arthur picked itself up and flew off. "Wait Naruto!" Celia cried out.
[Protcol G activate, docking formation now.]
In the air the Arthur combined with the new mech.
[Daikaiser activated.] Saber replied but something happened and somehow both machines were forcibly separated.
[Combination failure...pilot must be conscious...] Directing a bit of energy to the internals of the Arthur, Saber woke Naruto up.
"S-Saber wh-what's going on I-I can't see anything out of my left eye." Naruto started to panic.
[Please master Naruto calm down and listen to me now thousands of missiles are headed for the school we need to combine with the G-kaiser to destroy them all.]
Naruto took in a deep breath and nodded, "Alright then let's do this G-kaiser! Docking Formati-"
"No Narto stop you can't!" Nepgear cried out. "If you transform it could kill you!"
"Nep...please right now I'm the only one with the power to stop whatever is coming our way. I promise I'll be safe." With that said Naruto turn ed off his coms. "Alright Saber I'm ready."
[Play believe in our bonds]
"Lets go G-Kaiser! Docking Formation!" The Arthur shot into the air along with the G-Kaiser.
Forming an energy barrier around itself and the G-Kaiser, the G-Kaiser accepted the commands from the Arthur and opened itself up forming a small slot for the Arthur to fit in.
Once the Arthur was in the armor around it's legs, arms and chest area closed forming a red outer shell that increased the size of the Arthur while the Arthur's own helmet opened up revealing it's face and a new helmet went over it while a new name appeared on his screen.
"Alright then let's do this together! Dai-Kaiserrr!" Once done Naruto shot into the air. "Alright Saber clue me in on what is going on now!"
[At once master Naruto, this new faction has sent down an unimaginable number of missiles down and by my estimation the Daikaiser should have the power if we use the method of power transfer you hypothesized.]
"B-but that was just a hypothesis and how could I do something like that?"
[The Daikaiser has access to the Arthur's energy mode so if we use it then when all the missiles enter range we should be able to destroy them but to do something like this we cannot be distracted so please take care of all current enemies around.]
"You got it Saber!" Daikaiser turned around and saw a GNX-III heading towards him lance blazing with laser fire.
"You bastard you'll pay for what you did to us!" The pilot screamed out.
"We don't know what you're talking about!" The Daikaiser dodged through the laser fire and aimed for the head of the GNX-III.
"Take this Wired Fist!" The Daikaiser shot out it's fist which shot off and crashed head-on into the head of the GNX-III crushing it's head and thus disabling the pilots ability to see, turning around Naruto saw two more GNX-III's heading for him, so he summoned forth his new cannons which attached themselves to the Daikaiser's forearms. "Kaiser cannon fire!"
Two thundering shots were fired and found their targets.
[Hurry master we need to get to the destination point before the missiles for your plan to work.]
"Got it Saber! To all remaining forces defending IS academy please lend me your support!"
[On the Shirogane]
[This is Saber currently rerouting all remaining Aestivalis to defend the Daikaiser.]
[With the Daikaiser]
The Daikaiser started to concentrate as energy gathered around the gem, and just as Saber had ordered the remaining Aestivalis had made a small wall surrounding the Daikaiser.
[End song]
[With Axel]
"Hahhhhh! Seiya!" The Coustwell threw forth another punch but was easily deflected by the Thrudgelmir who countered with a slash that hit a green field surrounding the Coustwell. "So it seems that you haven't gotten any better Wodan! Now I'll end this!"
The Coustwell boosted backwards and closed its arms around its chest. "Limiter open!" Certain parts of the Coustwell opened up spreading a green mist over the entire unit, the green mist eventually hardened to form a green crystal like skin over the Coustwell.
"Rrrrraaaaghhhh!" The now transformed Coustwell broke through the crystal revealing itself as a blue mech with various bulbs on its body. "Alright Soulgain let's do this!"
[Play Dark Knight]
"Soulgain Full drive active!" In the two hands of the Soulgain it gathered energy before jumping into the air. "Take this!"
Firing off the energy like a machine gun the Soulgain landed all shots on the Thrudgelmir before charging in at max speed delivering multiple punches with all the proficiency of a professional martial artist sending the Thrudgelmir crashing to the ground. "Hyah Kiah Diah!"
"Code Kirin!" Pulling its arms back the blades on the Soulgains arms extended and he shot off after the Thrudgelmir leaving a trail of blazing smoke behind, once the distance was closed the Soulgain performed an uppercut with the blade cutting through the thick armor of the Thrudgelmir and hitting the head unit as well narrowly missing Wodan who was shocked by the sudden burst of speed from the Soulgain.
[End Dark Knight]
[With Naruto]
[Energy at max capacity master Naruto you may proceed in 5 seconds]
"Got it Saber!" Naruto waited until the missiles were within range. 'Now!'
"Shine...Spppaaarrrkkk!" The Daikaiser released the energy which arced upwards covering the entire area in a bright flash destroying all the missiles in sight.
"Naruto you did it!" Cheered Celia as she flew up to Naruto however there was no response from the Daikaiser only silence as it just floated in mid-air. "Naruto?"
"Miss Celia please get on! We have to leave now!" The pilot of the Astelion cried out before cupping her hands around the Guinevere and the Daikaiser.
Meanwhile all over the battlefield Uni, Blanc and Nepgear who were still fighting were also picked up by the mecha loyal to the Shirogane who then proceeded to return to the Shirogane, making an emergency landing in one of the hangers along with the remaining Aestivalis that survived and just in time as the Chinese forces and remaining A-Laws forces turned their attention to the Shirogane launching everything in their arsenal at the Shirogane.
[Few minutes before the Shine Spark event]
The demonic looking mech had just ripped one arm off the King J-der causing its pilot to curse. "What how are you defeating me?"
The pilot of the demonic looking mech replied in an uninterested tone. "As if your pathetic machine could ever stand up to my Granzon."
[Play dark prison dark prison version]
"Now watch as I destroy your pitiful mech Granzon...Black Hole Cluster. Pushing down the center button with his middle finger.
From the front of the Granzon the chest piece opened up and a small black likeeobject was kept in stasis by the Granzon before being fired at the King J-der.
The King J-der tried its best to block the shot however when the ball hit it expanded and consumed the top half of the King J-der leaving only the bottom half to fall to the ground and explode.
"Never mess with the original."
[Back to the Shirogane]
The air around it filled with anti-air fire as the small guns triedtheiri best to give Saber some time to enact an escape.
[Activating Overboost now!]
In a flash of light some kind of bubble formed around the Shirogane and in a bright flash the Shirogane was gone leaving only the remaining Chinese forces and A-laws to deal with the remaining defenders and people at IS academy.
Yifei looked down at her control panel finally letting go of the 2 sticks. 'Did I do the right thing? It was orders but the A-laws were the one who attacked us first.' Yifei pushed those thoughts to the back of her head as she was ordered to land and help sort out the people.
All over the world similar situations happened as A-law forces and forces which had joined them attack the military installations not allied with them yet and they also captured every facility bare a few secret one that they did not know about.
[Onboard the Shirogane play beyond memories]
Saber and Nepgear had successfully deactivated the G-Kaiser and Arthur to reveal an unconscious but gravely injured Naruto who was bleeding from not only the shoulder wound but blood was also coming down the left side of his face.
However the pilot named Axel cleared the way and picked up Naruto before moving with the entire group towards the medical bay where Saber in a medibot waited. "Saber please do whatever you can to save him!"
[I will master Axel.] With those final words Saber disappeared behind the room and the doors shut with the red operation light turned on.
As soon as Saber was in Axel stormed off towards the canteen.
"Hey Axel wait up!" Ibis cried out before going after him leaving Nepgear, Blanc, Uni and Laura with the remaining girls that strangely had the same or similar hair color as them.
Blanc was on the floor of the Shirogane tears were dripping down from her face as she thought about how Rom and Ram were doing at the same time Uni and Nepgear wondered how their sisters and Vert were doing, as for Laura she was worried for everyone else if this was a war then the students of IS academy weren't ready for it.
Celia pressed her back against the wall and slid down tears ran down her face as she remembered that Naruto took the strike for her.
[In space]
A shuttle docked with an enormous object that hid behind the dark side of the moon and from that shuttle Annoydeath along with his 'daughter' disembarked from the shuttle and was met with Ribbons Almark who greeted them politely. "So it seems that you had a safe trip here I assume?"
"Ah yes but of course and with this meeting-"Annoydeath took out from his suit a black box. "A black box taken from an IS unit."
Ribbons Almark accepted the black box with a small smile and while this exchange was going on Yellow heart was in the background 'wowing' at everything. "WAH! Neh neh papa look at that giant robot it looks funny!"
"Yes dear but right now daddy is busy." Annoydeath replied before turning back to Ribbons who now waved him forward as they walked through the facility that led to an enormous room holding an extremely large object in it. "So this is Veda?"
"Yes, if we are to take over the earth for the eventual then I know that Veda can prepare for it." Taking the black box Ribbons passed it over to an Innovade who hooked it up to Veda and connected it to a console before Ribbons proceeded towards the console now watch as their most advanced weapons fall before us."
Ribbons pressed the switch.
[Back on earth]
All over the earth IS units immediately malfunctioned and shut down leaving all who were still fighting against the A-laws completely defenseless.
[Onboard the Shirogane]
The same thing happened to Nepgear, Blanc, Uni, Laura and Celia's IS units only there seemed to be some kind of opposite reaction from their units that sent a shock through their bodies knocking them out.
The girls there ran up to one girl and caught them before they hit the ground.
