Ichika is not going to pilot an I.S. in this story, it thought I said this in a previous chapter, but I guess not. Remember how I said I'd I change the plot line greatly? So anyways here's the chapter.
Well I am currently looking out the window and theirs is something terribly wrong, no, it's not the hole in the wall, it's not the crater in the street. It's the giant freaking robot standing in the crater that also caused the whole in the wall! Seriously it looks like someone gave an I.S. steroids or something! Well it doesn't it seem to be doing anything but to be on the safe side I walked upstairs to get my shotgun. Okay well maybe to make myself feel better, I mean come one these things are made to be firearm proof unless the firearm was big. Anyways the shotgun makes me feel better some people have teddy bears, some have security blankets; I however have a shotgun. I'd probably sleep with it if I wasn't afraid of blowing my head off. Don't tell my sisters.
Well anyways the sit-rep is there's a giant I.S. in the street, and I'm armed with a shotgun and a bokuto (wooden sword) which I bought it on the way home to use for self-defense when a gang hit squad comes after my ass! Yeah apparently the sword fighting skills Nick taught me are nearly universal. The I.S. itself wasn't doing anything so maybe- oh wait it's turning toward me and looks like something is charging up. The phrase that comes to mind is…IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZER. So glad I learned English and other languages on the ARK but back to the situation at hand giant robot firing giant laser at my house which tore a perfect circle in the side of the house. Well it's pretty obvious that I'm being targeted by an I.S…. Again! And with that in mind I jumped through newly made exit and ran off with the thing coming for my head.
I turned and fired a few shells at the I.S. not that it'd do much. It's more to say I'm not dying without a fight. I made run for the harbor luckily the thing was slow and wanted to avoid crowded areas so I was able to keep in front of it pretty easily. Then I thought I occurred to me, I should probably call Chifuyu-nee, and have her tell Madoka I won't be able to watch her tournament. I know I'm running for my life and all but, if I do survive this I'll get some form of hell from sisters anyways. I made it to the harbor by the time I dialed the phone so I stopped for a breather.
"Hello?" Came Chifuyu's voice.
"Hey, Chifuyu-nee." I greeted
"Ichika? What is it? I'm busy at the moment" she said in her serious no nonsense tone
"Well can you tell Madoka there's an incredibly good chance that I won't see her fight?" I asked her
"if your reason is good enough" that's harsh Chifuyu but I guess running for your freaking life while playing target practice for an laser beam shooting I.S. on steroids is a good reason…right?
"Well-" before I could respond the I.S. flew down and landed not to far from me "What the hell! The damn thing can fly" and I just noticed I said that out loud.
Chifuyu POV
"What the hell! The damn thing can fly!" I heard my brother yell from the other side.
"Ichika, what's wrong?" I asked calmly but I was very concerned for him.
"Long story short, and I.S. on steroids landed in front of our house blew a hole in it and is currently trying to kill me" he paused "why the hell hasn't the military done anything about this I mean come on! This thing isn't that hard to freaking notice" I heard sound beam discharges and explosions in the back ground "oh shit it has rapid fire! I have to go now" he said in an alarmed voice "talk to you later…probably"
"Ichika? Hello Ichika!" he hung up on me, damn it why is that idiot always getting himself into trouble.
"Chifuyu-sensei who was that?" asked my assistant Yamada
"That is my brother" I replied in my usually cold tone "he's apparently being attacked by a rouge I.S. *sigh* again" she gasped. "Get the military on the line"
When we analyzed the one who attacked him on the ARK, apparently that one was an unmarked I.S. meaning it didn't come from a country which also means someone with excess wealth was targeting my brother. I seethed on the inside; no one hurts my little brother. To calm myself I poured a cup of coffee and put sugar in it.
"Eh… Chifuyu-sensei that's salt" said Yamada, well that's embarrassing, but I can't bother but think this has something to do with the kidnapping three years ago
Ichika POV, Night
Well it's official, robots hate me! I have been attacked by two automated I.S. counting this one…yes I know it's a drone because of the way it moves those movements are too much like a machine…and not to mention all those maintenance bot 'malfunctions' back on the ARK I swear those things had it out for me!
Well anyways I managed to lose it again but I can hear it walking just on the other side of theses shipping crates. Heh its funny this place reminds me of container city back on the ARK just a lot lest rusty and devoid of human life and it doesn't look like these things will break if you hit them. Well enough with the trip down memory lane.
An idea just popped into my head I'm going to unload a shotgun shell into its face! So I climb up the containers to reach the top, now you may think this is dangerously stupid and reckless…well it is, but so is lying down and letting your enemies kill you. You may also wonder what a shotgun is going to do against an oversized laser shooting war machine on steroids, well when a shot at it earlier I noticed it didn't have shields, I'm guessing it's meant to put out a lot of pain but lack defense which is okay unless your enemy comes and hits you just as hard, also this shotgun, the Mossington, is extremely high powered weapon there was heavy which let me tell are a bitch and a half to take down on their own well this one was wearing a bomb suit, and I shot at point blank range it not only killed him instantly it also downed the two guys on the other side of him.
(AN: true story actually happened to me in a game, which coincidently was in container city)
So I managed to get to the top of the crates and looked down, my robotic friend seems to be looking for me well in a few seconds he'll find I jumped of the container and just barely managed to get on its shoulder "eat buckshot!" I yelled and unloaded the shell into its robotic face. This threw it off balance which in turn threw me off of it. I hit the row of containers on the other side of the aisle, I bounced off and hit the ground "oaky…now I'm hurt" I grunted painfully pushing myself up I was just barely able to bring up my bokuto to block a fist from the damn thing. Stupid idea I know but it's seriously hard to suppress a reflex, the amazing part is that it was successfully blocked and it didn't break, but I slid back a ways from the I.S. as it charged its beam canon, which was enough for me to do what any man would run for the sake of his balls! The beam went and smashed into the containers
After I lost it again I stopped to go over what I did, I successfully jumped onto it and unloaded a buckshot into its head while it didn't kill it I'm sure I saw the blast crack its armor, so new plan keep pounding its face with shotgun blasts and I can beat this thing. A confident filled smirk came across my face. Then I thought crossed me, where the hell was the military I reported this to Chifuyu like an hour ago and I'm pretty sure she called the military, well that's tax payers money at work for ya.
No big deal, I have plan that'll work and if the military does come… well then I'll just take it easy. It's win-win for me, though what bothers me is why the thing wants to kill me in the first place! I mean come one, sure my sister was a super powerful pilot but she's a teacher now, who the hell holds a grudge for that long?
Ah well time or another hit-and-run shotgun attack on the I.S.. I climbed up to the top of another row of containers and waited I could hear the heavy footsteps of the machine reminds of the time me and my brothers watched Terminator back on the ARK…good times. Well anyways I was on the other side of its head now and I waited for just right moment and charged and jumped once again taking it by surprise and unloading another shell into it head severely cracking and like last time I was thrown but managed jump off it and land on my feet, it tried crush me it punch I dodged it was bent over close enough for a point blank shot into its face, I did so and the thing shot up backwards but recovered and began to do the rapid fire laser attack I dodged them, me being a relatively small target and a guy who had to dodge bullets made this somewhat easy by comparison plus my CI helps. Well the face is cracked to high hell I probably just need to hit one more time.
I turn and ran as soon as I got out of the field of fire but this thing isn't going to lose me again I ran till made to small building, there was nothing important about it except it had two large tanks outside of it tagged as propane, and last time I checked propane was incendiary. I heard the I.S. coming up on me so I ran and waited for the ambush. The heavy footsteps grew louder and it entered the area it paused and seemed to continue on cautiously, it probably thinks that I'll try jumping it again.
I waited until it got close to the tanks and let out a shotgun blast, and much to my disappointment it didn't go off. That's when a paper flew in front of me I grabbed it, on it said "Propane tanks are to be emptied by 3:00 pm"and today's date. Well…if that isn't an F-U from the universe I don't know what is. I was brought out of my stupor as an energy beam landed close to me and blew me against the wall, making me lose my grip on my shotgun which went out of sight somewhere and I don't think this thing will give me the time to get it. Well time for my last resort, I'm going to go whack in the head with my bokuto.
I drew my bokuto and charged as I dodged several beams and jumping on top of a few crates using them as steps to get on the roof of the building the I.S. was next to and charged at it and jumped in the air as it still tried to shoot me as brought the sword down on its severely cracked face and hit it. Its face literally fractured and fell into mixed assortment of what I guess be its brain server and optical lenses.
I stopped and looked over my defeated foe its giant body lay on hits back totally inactive, and to top it all off my bokuto hardly has a scratch on it. I looked at it in awe "What is this thing made out of?" I wonder out loud. Then my phone rang "Hello?"
"Is this Ichika Orimura-san?" it was a woman's voice though I didn't recognize it.
"Yes" I replied
"This Captain Hana Yujikaze of the 3rd Uchigane squadron" oh so now the great heroic military shows up. This sarcasm just to be clear. "We have orders to deal with a rouge I.S. that is seemingly hunting you."
"You're little late" I replied kind of annoyed "I already took care of it"
"Wha-" she said stunned "Really"
"Well considering I'm standing over decapitated wreckage…" I replied "yes"
"U-understood" she said getting a hold of herself "could you give us your location?"
I was about to reply when I noticed the left arm of the I.S. was glowing…aw shit. "You know I have feeling your about to find out" I'm going to be feeling this tomorrow…
"What do you me-" *Boom* the left arm exploded for some reason and I got knocked out. You know if I have to fight an I.S. I would appreciate not getting blown up at the end!
When I finally came to there were a few fires lighting up the area and my left eye was closed for some reason, I tried to feel my face and discovered that my left arm wouldn't move…probably dislocated… so I felt with my other hand and found I was bleeding from the forehead and it was covering my eye. Ah well no problem. I see my shotgun now that the place is lit up more I got up and reclaimed it. And to top it all off the Uchigane team finally shows up.
One of them noticed me and walked up in their bulky I.S. armor "So you're Ichika Orimura?" she asked
"Yeah" I said while grunting painfully relocating my shoulder "That's me, and the I.S. or at least what is left of it is over there somewhere" I pointed next to the remains of the building where my failed ambush took place. She signaled to her team and a few of the pilots went to the wreckage and nodded in conformation. "Well, now that's taken care of I'm going home."
"Shouldn't you go to a hospital?" she asked concerned "I can have one my pilots take you there."
"nah, I should be fine" I said in a carefree voice and took a few steps before I noticed something…my vision is fading "you know I might need to take you up on that offer…" I said turning around to face her.
"um- okay" she was probably surprised about my sudden change of mind "but why-" before she could finish I passed out, last thing I remember is hitting the ground.
I woke up in the hospital some point later and saw the captain from the Uchigane sitting next to my bed in her pilot suit. "you gave us quite the scare there" she said in relieved tone "though it's to be expected not many people survive an I.S. encounter on foot"
"not many people have to deal with an I.S. in the first place" I retorted
"ah yes" she said "sorry about that, a virus was uploaded to our computers and we had issues launching and the I.S. had some sort of radar jammer making it hard to track."
"Ah…okay then" well that explains a lot
"Well I have to get back to work" she took out an envelope and handed it to me "that's from my squadron, I'll see you around kid." I opened the letter
"Get well soon" - 3rd Uchigane squadron. Well at least they gave a damn
The people who came in next were a news crew apparently everyone saw the I.S. and was too damn scared to do anything about it, they also have a security footage of my battle…again. The next person came as a bit of a shock it was Kazuma and group of other people.
"Hey, buddy" he greeted "saw you on the news, man you're a badass no wonder the Gang is after you" ah yes regarding them the gang I'm dealing them is simply called the Gang since there the only gang in town. "Well these guys behind are from the ARK, they've been feeling pressure from a common enemy and want to ask you something"
"Please make us part of your gang, Boss!" they said synchronized, well now I have gang of my own, I guess this day hasn't turned out to be so bad after all.
Well that's that, and can someone send me a list of male Japanese names that would be appreciated
