AND I'M BACK. Sorry for the delay, I got caught up with my other works.

Two character intros today, Charles and Laura, so yay.

Short chapter as well since I figured Ichika wouldn't be so foolish to believe… well, people who have seen/read Infinite Stratos know what I'm talking about. Aaand I'm skipping the Laura/Cecilia/Rin battle because Laura here is much more professional than that. Plus she's smart enough to know that Ichika plus Rage equals RUN, even for her.

Anyways, here we go!

Chapter 5: The Red Spy

"Damnit!" Houki sighed as she slammed her cases shut. A little while ago Yamada-sensei came through and told Houki she had to move out, since apparently we're getting a new transfer student, "Ichika!"

"Yes!" I immediately stood up straight, hearing my named yelled.

"I know you're having a new roommate, and even if he is a guy, you will not let him get ahead of me in reading those auto-biographies." It was not a suggestion, it was a fact she wanted to keep true. Of course I won't let him though, because he has yet to prove to be trustworthy of the knowledge of the Space Marines. Just being male doesn't automatically make him worthy.

"And Houki?"

"Yes, Ichika?"

"You're welcome back here, anytime." She nodded, leaving. Ah, I'm going to miss having a dear comrade in the room with me. Now I feel like someone's going to try to gut me in my sleep… or moreso, anyways.

So, who's this new transfer student?

Well, apparently another guy in France could pilot the IS. Hopefully he will be as believing of the Emperor's will. I wonder what this new transfer is like though… perhaps he is a cold sniper, or maybe the friendly sergeant. I suppose he could be-

"This is Charles Dunoa, the new transfer student. He will be attending IS Academy from here forth. He's a Representative Pilot from France as well."

-a fucking spy. Really? I hope Chifuyu-nee sees right through that paper thin disguise, because I do.

Oh really, how can you tell?

Also he's really a she.

Explain.

All records of 'him' expunged, private doctor for an unspecified disease. Too ambiguous. Not to mention this 'guy' doesn't even look like one, the voice also sounds strained in the slightest meaning that this has been planned out.

Dunoa… don't they still make Second-Gen IS equipment and whatnot?

Yes… so her father who runs the company is sending his daughter to be a spy here to steal my data. The heretic! Trying to steal the secrets of the Imperium is a crime that shall be repaid in slow, torturous death!

What about Charles… or Charlotte, should I say?

I will find out if she is being forced into this or if she offered to do it for him. If it is the former… the man will be branded a heretic for sure.

Well then, your approach to solving this?

A direct one.

"So, you're my roommate-"

"You have thirty seconds to explain why you are spying on me." I calmly stated while pointing a Bolt Pistol at Charles… or should I say Charlotte?

"I'm not-"

"Charlotte, I have better things to do than waste my time. So, if you would gladly explain the truth to me, then we can get this over with." I cut her off rather bluntly, "There is no need to try to lie or anything, I have it figured out at this point."

This is when she broke down… and cried… oh. Oh dear. My guess is the former.

Biological scans indicate you really did make her cry.

From pressure or…?

Spies, Ichika, are not tolerated in the world of the IS. Not to mention she would have 'lowered herself to acting like a male' in this society, which is a double whammy against her. My bet is that she thinks you'll report her and probably turn the world against her.

Oh. I should have thought this one through.

"Charlotte. Get up," I commanded, "There is no need to shed tears. Your secret is safe with me."

"B-b-but I… I was spying on you and-"

"While I dislike spies, especially those that come after my secrets," I hastily pushed my briefcase with the auto-biographies further under the bed, "I will not let this society tear you apart. Now tell me, was this your plan or your father's?" she turned away as I watched her mouth 'My idea', so I could tell that it was a lie meant to protect her dad, "Charlotte, if you're going to take credit for it, look me in the eyes and tell me that it was your plan."

She turned to face me and opened her mouth, but the words never came out. What kind of sick monster is this man, to make his daughter willing, yet wrongly, confess to spying? For company production rights, no less. This heretic will surely burn… I will see to it myself.

"Why do you not wish for him to be hurt?" I calmly asked Charlotte as she sat down.

"I… I… he told me that if I…"

"Tried to fight back he'd publish it as 'IS Pilot trying to push will on a man' and hope to bring me into it on his side?" I completed her sentence, earning a nod in response, "Charlotte, you can relax. It is unbecoming of you to act like a small dog, whimpering and curling up, scared of the world around you. You are a human being, and I will not cause harm to you. If anything, I would cause harm to your father for putting you up to this." She looked confused for a second, "Yes, I know that I lead mankind back from its depths, but just because I advocate this cause does not mean that men are free to do as they wish. If I let the ones with malicious and greedy intentions go unwatched and unpunished by letting them use me as a hiding spot, then my cause will be tarnished, and unfit to bring the Imperium to its full glory upon this world. And also, I have no quarrel against women that bear no ill intent against me and the Imperium. That is a common misconception."

"I see…" she nodded, "T-thank you."

"I am just doing my job." I told her calmly, "Now-" I froze as I heard knocking on the door, "Still dressed?" she nodded, "Good. Who is it?"

"I-it's Cecilia!" Warp damnit, stupid love life and teenager girls falling for me!

"Charlo-er, Charles," I realized Cecilia was close enough to the door to maybe hear us, and dropped my voice to a low whisper, "Bed, act like you're sick. Now."

She quickly did as we told, faking a coughing fit as I opened the door, "What is it?"

"Would you like to have dinner?" Cecilia asked, looking away.

And now I could really use some popcorn.

You. Shut up. Right now.

I would if I could. But nope, I can't. I can see why your life would be interesting to watch though. Despite your coldness you still have a bunch of girls falling for you left and right.

Thrice damned romantics. Ugh, whatever.

"I would, but unfortunately Charles happens to sick."

"Oh, you're on first name terms already?"

"Brothers in arms," I hastily lied, "'sides, why are you so friendly about him? You didn't really like me at first."

"A-a-a friend o-of Ichika-san's is a friend of mine!" she stammered. Despite her stammering there was genuine sincerity in that statement.

"Charles, will you be okay? I'll bring back dinner."

"I-ack, will sleep it off-ack!" she faked coughs very well, "Go…"

"Understood." I nodded, "Call me if you need anything. Phone number is underneath the phone next to you." Note to self, move said number when I get back.

"Charles, are you still here?" I called out into my room, carrying a tray, "I swear if you've ran…"

"I'm still here," Charlotte called out from underneath the covers, poking her head out, "Just didn't want to show myself in case anyone came passing through."

"Good survival instinct, though I'm not one for hiding," I shrugged, handing her the tray as she sat up on her bed, "So tell me, why did your dad send you here? Just so I can confirm if I was correct or not. And do not speak with fear, as you have no reason to… unless you are still hiding something."

"Yes…" she set down her water bottle and gulped, probably in response to the intimidation, "I was sent, as you have probably figured out, to spy on you and eventually steal your data. As you know, Dunoa is still producing second-generation equipment, and with the rise of third generation units, is in risk of losing production rights. Having an advanced IS like yours would help Dunoa get back into the business… but my father wasn't willing to invest that much…"

"I see… so he attempted to steal the secrets of the Imperium and was not even brave enough to do it himself, then trains you so that you would take the blame and thusly relieve him of any traces to him as the mastermind of this operation. Tch, what a coward." I growled.

I thought Charlotte would say something to defend him but she just kept eating her food and nodding.

"I wish things could have been different," she said, "If only he would put some money into investing…"

"Hm." I nodded, "Unfortunate that even after I try to unite man and lead us all towards progress some are not willing to give up their wealth and possessions."

"What do you mean by that?"

"I want to lead man to the glory of the Imperium, where undying loyalty to the God Emperor of Mankind is key. However some are not as willing to part with their material goods to serve and bring about this future vision that I have."

"Mhm," Charlotte nodded.

"Hold on for a second… are you bugged right now?" she nodded no, "Okay, just checking-"

Bzzt! I watched Charlotte take out her phone and saw it was a text message from her dad. Charles tapped a few things on the screen, most likely a decryption code, and the message asked if she had already taken the data and that the chopper was waiting. She looked up with pleading eyes, knowing she could meet her end here.

"Tell him… that it will take far longer than anticipated." I smirked, "And also that you heard me talking about those who would steal the secrets of the Imperium for their own gain would die by my hand, for better or for worse, but you haven't confirmed it yet. Might be enough to scare him." I held back laughter as she typed in the message, encrypted it, and sent it to her father. Heh.

Wonder if the old bag will back off now.

I hope so too. What a twisted monster though… there will be punishment for this type of conspiracy. However, Charlotte will remain alive… after all, I do not kill innocents or those who were forcibly brought into something like this until given good reason.

"Charlotte."

"Y-yes?"

"I have just one request."

"Yes…?"

"I want you to go explain to the school what has happened her. I will be there to support you as I do not wish for these sorts of men to get away scot free by using my name as some sort of threat. They are a shame to the members of the Imperium of Mankind and will be exposed for their crimes. If they should attempt to make a case against you I shall do what I can to support you. It is high time that my ideals are shown for both sides. It is not man to be superior to women that I seek, but a unity of men and women into one name that goes by Mankind." I clenched my fist, "Tomorrow, anyways. For now, we should rest."

The next day we told the school officials of what had happened, and they were all too supportive of going against Charlotte's father, and much more surprised that I was in support of that action as well. My response to their question on why I'd do something like this? I told them that those who seek the secrets of the Imperium for their own gain will perish.

Charlotte's introduction was a bit shaky, since many in the class were just about ready to jump on her for 'lowering herself to acting like a man', but I quick glare from yours truly stopped them. There is no need to attack the innocent.

And it would seem we have a new student today as well. Laura Bodewig of Germany. Her introduction was short and to the point, only stating her name. Then she locked eyes with me.

I had done a little bit of research on her beforehand as I heard Chifuyu-nee talking about her coming here. She's a soldier like me, but one of sheer discipline and more dedicated to maintaining the world as it is rather than an ideal. Genetically engineered to be the best… but not good enough for a Space Marine. She also had a long mean streak against males.

Her eyes widened as I easily intercepted her slap with two fingers then grabbed her wrist and began to twist it, her face scrunching in pain, only self-control not letting it show more evidently.

"I will never accept you as a sibling to the Instructor." She glared.

"And I will never accept you as a real soldier." I glared right back, "You were born in a tube, created for the sole purpose of fighting. Me? I trained. I fought. I bled, and I lost at several points to get here today. I was an ordinary boy until I learned of some things. So you? You'll always be the same. Just another doll that can be made. Me? I will continue forward to realize my dream. But you don't need those, do you? After all, your only purpose was to fight. What need do you have for dreams?" I pushed her away, "Apologies, Yamada-sensei, for interrupting class."

Laura took her seat and it was dead silent for the day.

There is a difference, between her sort of fighters and Space Marines. While both have genetic enhancements Space Marines are not born with them. For a Space Marine the enhancement is already a battleground. Not many live through it. From there it is a fight with tooth and nail to still do good with those enhancements. This Laura girl has always had the tools she had to fight since the day she was made. For me… those tools I needed to fight were ones I had to earn, and I must still fight to keep the privilege of even having these weapons at my disposal to fight for the Imperium because I am far from worthy to wield them.

Well put, Ichika. Now, we do have that tag team tournament coming up…

Oh yes. I will ensure that Laura and I go up against each other in the first round. It will be a truly glorious battle to behold. Now hopefully this time she doesn't have some sort of 'pissy boss mode' where after I absolutely crush her she ends up having a 'super mode' and nearly wipe the floor with my ass. But enough with that.

"Hey, Houki." I said as we walked to the lunch room, "Would you like to be my partner for the tag team matches?"

"I-I'd be honored," Houki stammered with a blush.

"Be more assertive, Houki. Stammering is unbecoming of you." Despite the fact that Houki will have to use a training unit, I can always hand her my chainsword. She would no doubt be good at wielding it.

Houki, after all, lives and breathes the sword. Her kendo is absolutely flawless. Quick, lethal if it was a real blade, and flexible all in one. She learned early on that the blade is but an extension of the human body, and she learned to use that extension well. Even now, with my brutal and unpredictable sword skills she can still find the holes that no one else has been able to see and still today assists me every now and then with my sword play.

"Of course." She quickly said, not too hastily, but no hesitance in her voice, "We will train starting today."

"Understood."

Is it wrong if I'm turned on by Houki wielding a Chainsword, cutting down virtual Chaos Marines in the VR Room?

I don't think so.

Okay, because I am. Just so you know.

I'm starting to regret being in your head.

Aha! I have found your weakness.

Never mind, I'll just think about what happens if Cecilia or Rin finds about what you've been thinking.

They'll leave me alone because they know I can grind them into dust?

Good point.

Turning my attention back to Houki, I found her mopping up the last of the virtual Chaos Marines, plunging the Chainsword right into its face, the whir of the Chainsword filling the air, along with the blood which splattered everywhere. Aye, Houki will truly be a fierce opponent on the battlefield.

"Better this time around?"

I checked my stopwatch, "Beat your record by five seconds."

"I meant how close am I to your time?"

"Now? You're six seconds off, unfortunately."

"I don't understand!" Houki growled, "I can feel the power surging through me as He watches me train for this glorious battle, but still the true strength of this blade eludes me!"

Hold on… I think I know why.

"Ichika, I know you've asked me some crazy things before, but pray tell, why are we skipping school to go to a bookstore?" Houki asked as we entered the shop, "In the shadiest part of town here, no less?"

"Because, my dear Houki-chan," she rolled her eyes in half-embarrassment, "I figured out why absolute victory is out of your grasp. Morning, Zaeed," I waved to the man who ran the store.

"Hey, I see you're doing alright. Who's your little lady friend? Don't tell me you've already fallen," he joked.

"Of course not. She's an ally, and there's a little book that you have here that would no doubt help her with her problem."

"I see…" he nodded, "Well, I'll be in the back if you need me."

"Understood."

I looked around, noticing that Zaeed had reorganized the books… again. It would take a while to find the book I was looking for, but it shouldn't be too hard. Once I believe I had found the correct book, I reached up and grabed a said book off the shelf, I scanned the title to make sure it was the right one. Yes, same author as the one who wrote the books I had stored underneath my bed. The Complete History of the Order of the Valorous Heart, Volume I, read the title. It seemed fitting. Houki, at times, has confessed that it was wrong of her to push her sister away when she created the IS. The Order of the Valorous Heart, after all, is committed to redemption and atonement, which is very fitting of Houki's situation.

"You wish for me to read this?"

"Yes. It will impart on you the knowledge of the female side of the Imperium. The male and female sides, despite working for the same goal, are vastly different. I am not discriminating you if that is what you believe, but rather allowing you to glimpse what the other side is like."

"I see. I will treasure this book as I would one of yours."

"You would do well to do that." I nodded as we went up to pay for the book.

"And just where the hell were you?!" Yamada-sensei growled as we stepped back into class.

"Had to clear up some of Houki's mentality problems about the upcoming tournament." I calmly answered, "I believe we are set for it now."

"Cocky of you," Houki shot back, "You tell me that you can never be truly set for a battle."

"Ah, forgive my arrogance then." I sat down, smiling on the inside as I imagined the fight tomorrow. Truly, it would be most glorious and pleasing to the Emperor.

Class continued on normally after that, but this time Houki would pull out her book between breaks and become completely engrossed in it. I swear the pages flipped faster than the human eye could register as she hungrily devoured the knowledge within.

By the time the school day was out, she had already read her way through a fifth of it. Houki would make for a great ally.

"Ichika."

"Yes, Houki?"

"We will win tomorrow. No excuses."

"Of course."

[Music: Beyond the Grand River: Electric Great Magical Fantastic Spark/Rapid Ignition of Heaven]

Are you ready to ruuuuuuuuuuuuumble?!

Really.

Had to get it out of my system. Damn you and your time's internet memes. Back in my day we didn't have this crap.

Back in your day I was dead. Now, if you excuse me, we've got ass to kick.

I silently handed my Chainsword to Houki as she stuck her katana into the ground, then drew out my dual Bolt Pistols that Tabane had delivered this morning. Let's go.

Charlotte silently loaded her guns while Laura just looked mad.

The siren went off and we charged into glorious battle, chants of my supporters echoing in the background. This time multiple chapters supporters had shown up, but all united under my name. I will not disappoint.

Strafing to the side I fired on Laura who brought up her AIC, but had to stop as Houki dashed for her wielding a chainsword, ready to slice her railgun. However she froze in midair, but I swapped to my Storm Shield and hurled it at Charlotte who was ready to take advantage of Houki's inability to dodge. Charlotte didn't see it coming and was hit by it, knocking her off balance and thusly shooting at Laura who had to drop Houki's AIC focus to stop the stray bullets from hitting her.

How do I know about AIC? Just ask around, someone's willing to drop a hint or two every now and then. Besides, it's easy to see when people flaunt their data everywhere because they think no one can beat them. Stupid elites.

I caught the Shield as it flew back into my hands, then spun around on my leg and hurled it back, continuing the momentum and speeding it up a little more.

Charlotte brought up her own energy shield to deflect my Storm Shield this time around, angling it so the shield would be deflected away and leave me unable to retrieve it and throw it a lot harder. Well, looks like some are smarter than others.

I fired my Bolt Pistols, giving myself a bit of cover as I ran to recover my shield. Going into a dive while holstering my pistols I tucked and rolled while grabbing the shield all in one swift motion, the immediately got onto one knee and crouched behind the shield to block a railgun shot in my direction. We need to take out Charlotte first, since she's the only thing preventing us from beating Laura.

I put my shield on my back before drawing out the two Bolt Pistols once again and fired at Charlotte's feet, explosions erupting around her as the ammunition detonated. Sand kicked up in her face temporarily blinding her, giving us an opening.

Bolt Pistols became the original Bolter as a chorus of "MORE DAKKA!" rang out in the stands.

"Houki! UNLEASH YOUR MIGHT! I'VE GOT COVERING FIRE!"

"Of course! Alicia Dominica and Saint Lucia, watch over your humble follower as I support a fellow Space Marine!" Houki screamed in a hot blooded battle cry, chainsword inaudible over her fighting spirit, "FOR THE GLORY OF THE IMPERIUM AND ITS UNDYING EMPEROR!"

She charged straight for Charlotte who barely had time to block the first attack, let alone the second and third, taking devastating hits. However Charlotte managed to Ignition Boost back and fire off her machine gun, but a quick Storm Shield blocked her burst. Now to-

"ICHIKA!" Houki screamed, jumping out in front of me, chainsword roaring as she flash stepped in front of me, cutting a railgun shell in half and deflecting the two halves by angling the blade, "Apologies that you had to open yourself up to save me."

"No time for sentiments now," I quickly drew out my Storm Bolter, "Take out Charlotte first."

"Understood." Houki quickly steeled her eyes and this time waited for my signal, "On your mark."

"Mark." I nodded as I fired at Charlotte, forcing her to bring up her shields, quickly shattered by the explosives.

"W-what-?!" Charlotte was stunned at the fact her shield was gone, "A-aaah!" She was quickly overwhelmed by Houki's chainsword, her shields hitting zero in a near instant.

"Apologies, Charlotte, but I can't have anyone in the way of destroying this girl," I glared at Laura as the dual Bolt Pistols found their way into my hands, "Let us go, Houki."

"Yes." Houki nodded as we stood next to each other, "On your mark."

"FOR THE GLORY OF THE IMPERIUM!" I roared, dashing forward while shooting my Bolt Pistols, Storm Shield on my back.

"I'll destroy you both!" Laura growled, shooting her railgun.

However, I spun around and deflected the shot with the shield on my back and then continued shooting all in one motion. Her AIC suspended the Bolts in midair, but Houki leapt up into the skies, casting a dark shadow on Laura who couldn't look up lest take a few Bolts to the face. I think she let her IS do auto calculations as the railgun rotated itself to turn to Houki and fired, but Houki simply cut through the shell again.

This entire time though I've been moving around Laura, firing more and more Bolts that she's been focusing on. So she's going to have to make a choice on whether to die by Chainsword or die by Bolts. Well, not really die per se, but you get the idea.

Anyways, Laura's now surrounded by a lot of Bolts, and Houki's coming to smash her face in with a chainsword. She's finished, I'd like to say, but never count an opponent out until you are sure the battle is over, and even then-

Hold up, something just activated in Laura's IS. Get Houki out of here!

Not bothering to question why, I immediately ran forward and leapt up, using the Jump Pack and grabbing Houki by the waste directed her away from Laura as a massive amount of explosions rocket the arena.

"What in the thrice-damned Warp were you thinking?!" Houki screamed as I set her down and grabbed the Chainsword.

"Minato told me something's up." I warned her, "Back off for now. While you wield a chainsword we are up against an unknown enemy. Stay back."

"Understood," Houki grabbed her katana out of the ground and readied it far away just in case.

As the smoke cleared I saw a sight I thought I'd never see again.

Chifuyu-nee in her IS, but it wasn't her exactly. Just a copy… where Laura's IS had once been. Tch… is she this desperate…? That she would sacrifice her free will for power…?! Let alone copy one's power, not achieving or earning things yourself…

A snarl could be heard as I faced the copy, "You truly are a doll, aren't you? You won't even use your own power, even if it means defeat. You're just fulfilling an objective like the mindless drone that you are, and you go so far as to copy someone else, mimicking them exactly, but you'll never be the real thing. Isn't that what a doll does?"

The copy just stared impassively at me, sword ready to strike.

"Then if you have no words, I shall banish you to the Warp." I readied my blade.

The arena was dead silent, save for my breathing and Houki's.

As I took my first step the silence was shattered by the roars of my fellow brethren, encouraging me to strike this copy down.

The copy braced as I leapt up into the air and came down, vertical slash with my chainsword upon this impostor. Using my momentum I headbutted the copy, staggering them and then twisting around blocked another attack with my Storm Shield before diagonally cutting.

The impostor let out an estranged cry before I summoned my Storm Shield to my hands and bashed it several times in a brutal display of strength, finishing with a flourish.

"IS THAT THE BEST YOU HAVE?!" I screamed as the copy of Chifuyu-nee got up onto one knee, shaking, "Your blows have no conviction! Only desperation, fear, and a need to salvage your lost pride!" It lunged for me, but I caught the blade with one hand and snapped it, "You child, believing that you were superior without merit…" I slugged her across the face, "…calling yourself a soldier when all you've ever done is blindly follow." I threw her down on the ground before kicking her up, then grabbed her ankle and spun in a circle, "A soldier fights because he or she has a belief they wish to have preserved, an ideal they wish the world to realize! You are not a soldier, Bodewig, but just a mere doll!" I threw her into the wall, resulting in a resounding crash! The chainsword found its way back into my hand, "So I dare you, I double dare you, I triple dog dare you, break out of that Warp-damned shell and stop me of your own free will… or you will know death."

Ichika… are you sure about this?

…If this be a sin, forgive me, Emperor. But it was the only way to make her see.

I silently charged forward, chainsword directed at the thing's torso, its roar for blood blocking out all other noise around me. Now or never, Bodewig.

"N-no! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" a hysterical scream came out from the interior of the copy, before Laura's IS broke through, shattering the impostor like glass, and she stopped my chainsword from ripping through the thing's armor and killing her inside with AIC, before breaking down into a fit of sobs.

The siren rang furiously, signaling the match's end... or tried to make me stop fighting, anyways. A few emergency personnel came down to check on Laura and also insisted that I be taken into the infirmary, but I had suffered no major damages and my armor had held fast. Charlotte had been doing fine as well, along with Houki. We were lucky, I suppose. Now… I really should check in on Laura later. That was a rather brutal psychological beat down on my part.

Understatement of the century. Come on, you literally just insulted her… oh, I don't know, EVERYTHING. That was very brutal, even for you.

Er…

Let's recap, shall we? You insulted her creation, her livelihood, and questioned if she even had free will. You tested that last one by nearly killing her in front of a massive audience.

Okay, yes, I went overboard. And the audience was only coincidental. But great… this means I probably will have another one after me…

Unfortunately I was not permitted to see Laura, as they believed I'd try to 'finish the job', so I went to sleep being rather tired for the day.

And now it's time for class, and Yamada-sensei hasn't had her coffee so no early morning sparring-

"ICHIKKKKKKKA! WHY DIDN'T YOU PARTNER WITH MEEEEE?!" Oh no. Yandere Rin, two o'clock!

Before I could summon my IS (but not my Storm Shield), a black blur sped out and blocked the shots.

"…Laura…?" Ahhhhh crap- no, get your hands off my face!

Immediately pushing away I leapt back and summoned my IS with dual Bolt Pistols ready, "WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE WARP AND ITS ACCURSED DAEMONS WAS THAT?!"

"Y-you said that I should make my own decisions! A-and I have d-decided to make you my husband!"

Somewhere, the thirsting gods of the Warp were laughing not in bloodshed but at this current situation as the screams began to add to the growing Chaos. And of course, like all things… they were only going to get worse…

AAAAAAAND DONE!

Now, for all of you wondering why these take so long to update, it's because it's HARD to get into the Space Marine mindset at times! Seriously, it is. That is why it takes so damn long to post these.

Kira: Aaaaand because you get distracted.

Yeah, well… yeah, that sounds about right. I had an AWESOME plan for a few crossovers (they are SO much fun), and well, just had to get the plot bunnies out of my head. Well, see yah guys next time!
