A/N: For those of you who are wondering what Caddy's I.S. Unit is like, it's standard shift and appearance is based off of Metal Gear REX, then when it reaches 1st and 2nd Shift, it looks and acts more like Metal Gear RAY. The name of his unit, I haven't thought of a good one yet, so leave a comment down in the box below after the chapter for suggestions.

(imitation of Caddicarus) Previously, on Infinite Stratos: Rise of the Heroes (or the Caddicarus Show)...

Rin: "Ichika, Caddy, I was wondering if you guys missed me after I moved."

Ichika: "You promised that you would treat me a meal every day, wasn't that it?"

Rin: "What a jerk you are!"

Caddy: "Rin, you pinnacle wanker!"

Ichika: "Jeez, I bet it would really hurt to get hit by that thing."

(Intercom): "All contestants, you may commence the match at this time..."

And now... (snickers evilly) We carry on...

Episode 4: The Class League Match

Tony's P.O.V.

Ichika and I charge right at Rin, as we all clashed at each other. Then Ichika blocks her first attack, while I dodged out of her line of defense. "Hey, Caddy. You ready for that attack pattern we putted together?" I contacted him through radio transmission.

"Don't worry, Tony. I'll be ready when either you or Ichika give the signal." James told me.

"Not bad! You were actually able to stop my first attack. But that won't last." She says as she materializes another blade in her hand. She closes in on Ichika, as I fired my Spreader shotgun back at her.

I watch as Ichika and Rin tosses a flurry of attacks at each other at high speed. Rin then combines her blades and turns it into a double-bladed staff.

Ichika is still able to dodge her attacks with such nimble movement. "Caddy! Now's your chance! Go for it!" I said to him. "Right!" He dashes towards Ichika and Rin as she fires an attack called the Shock Cannon at Ichika, while still being able to dodge her.

"And that was what you would call a jab!" She says to him as she readies her cannons again.

Just as Ichika was bracing for impact, Caddy manages to get to him in time, and tries to counterattack Rin by firing a long phaser beam from his arm. Both he and Rin stagger from their attacks as he lands on the ground still standing.

"Hmm, my shield energy is halfway depleted." James pointed out. "Caddy! Are you alright?" Ichika asked. "Yeah, don't you worry about me, guys. Cause I'm just getting warmed up here!" He told us.

He then dodges from Rin's line of fire as she says to him: "You're dodging pretty well. I thought the invisible barrel and the ammunition were supposedly this Ryuho's features, however."

She then proceeds to continue attacking Ichika, ignoring us. "Hey, Ichika! You okay up there?" I called out to him. "Yeah, just hang on! I've got an idea." He said to us.

Ichika's P.O.V.

'The barrier disabling attack... Can I use it?' I thought to myself as I started to talk to her. "Rin." "Yeah, what is it?" She asked. "Look, I'm warning you. I'm not gonna hold back." I told her.

"What's that mean? That's what you're supposed to do? Besides, I'll show you that we're not in the same league!" She said to me as I activated the Ignition Boost once again.

I tried my best to close the distance with her, while still trying to dodge the crossfire. And just as I managed to get far enough: 'Hngh... Now's my chance!' I thought to myself as I charged at Rin with all my power until...

KA-BOOM!

Caddy's P.O.V.

"Ahh! What the bloody hell just happened?!" I shouted out. "Suspend the match! Orimura, Fanh, Caddick, Kurosaki, get out of there immediately!" Chifuyu ordered.

"Please! Someone tell me! What the actual hell is even going on right now?!" I yelled. Just then: "James, the match is canceled. Get back to the pit now!"

"But what in the... huh? Another I.S.? And there's no identification on it. Is it locking me out somehow? How could I be locked?" I asked myself. "What are you doing, James? Get back to the pit!"

Rin shouted at me. "Get back? And what are you going to do?" "I'm going to buy us some time, but you and the guys need to get out of here right now." She told me.

"Now wait a second. There's no way I'm going to leave someone like you behind!" I told her. "You idiot! You're the weaker fighter, so you don't give me a choice. Now move!" She said to me.

"But...!" "It's not like I'm going to handle this all the way to the end, okay? I'm just standing it, until one of the teachers can get out here and handle it."

[Metal Gear Solid OST: Duel]

She told me again before I saw that a beam was about to attack her. "*gasps quickly* Look out!" I shouted as I grabbed onto her, avoiding the attack. "The beam weapon.

And it has a higher power output than Blue Tears." I said as I checked the statistics of the attack. "Hey you idiot, you need to let go of me right now!" Rin yelled at me, trying to let go of my grasp on her.

"Hold still, you plonker!" I told her, frustratingly. "Shut up!" She talked back, repeatedly. "You fucking wanker! Quit hitting me! Jesus! HOLD! GODDAMN! STILL!" I screamed at her, very angrily.

"INCOMING!" I hollered as another beam was shot at us. The explosion dust clears away as it's revealed to be some type of unmanned drone.

"Just what is that damn thing? It's not any IS I ever heard of. All right, you! Identify yourself! Answer me! Who are you?! What are you doing here?!" I shouted at the unit, until a transmission was brought up.

"Caddick! Fanh! You need to vacate the arena at once. The teachers will be there soon with their IS units and neutralize the situation." Miss Yamada said to us.

"No, we've gotta keep it occupied until everyone evacuates." I told her. "I understand how you must feel about this. But you just can't do that! Get out of there now!" Yamada warned me.

"Hmm, are you okay with this, Rin?" I asked. "Are you talking to me, you jerk? Can't you see that all I want you to is let me go? I can't even move if you're holding me like that." Rin reprimanded me again.

"Alright! Fine, I'm sorry! Okay?!" I shouted at her, letting her go and dodging yet another beam shot. It then fires an array of lasers at us we back away from the machine. "It looks like she's ready to do this." Rin said.

"Yeah, let's say you're right." I say to her. "James, how about you charge out her while I cover you? The phaser beam's your only offensive weapon, right?" She asked.

"Don't worry, I've also carry dual machine guns, and can fire a barrage of missiles as well. Alright. Let's do it." I said to her as we prepared to take this drone down.

INTERMISSION: I would like to take break from the story at this time, as I will now present to you, the majestic work of game reviews by our favorite PlayStation fanatic, Caddicarus. The video link must be typed in unfortunately, as FanFiction won't allow copy and pasting, and the link of the YouTube video as well. (/watch?v=WKZQb-jH-7A)

[Metal Gear Solid 2 OST: Lethal Encounter (Tanker Alert)]

The drone fired straight at us, as we both got out of the way and Rin fired back at the machine. We then chased the beast down in the smokes of the explosion, clashing with every chance we get.

I check my surroundings to look for the drone, until it punches right at me into the clouds. It dashes back to the arena as Rin fires her cannon at it, with one shot managing to hit it.

"James, do it now!" Rin said to me as I fired my machine guns at the drone, then tried to use my phaser beam, but to no such luck. "Oh you idiot! Aim that thing like you're supposed to! That was your fourth try already!" Rin yelled.

"Hey, I am trying, goddamn it!" I shouted at her. I check my HUD to find that my shield energy is almost gone.

"Shit... Looks like I'll only have one chance at firing the missile barrage." I said to myself. "James, break away." Rin told me. "Right." I replied as we both dodge another array of lasers being fired at us.

"What are we going to do? We'll never beat her without some kind of strategy." She said. "Hey, you can still run if you want to." I taunted her.

"Who said anything about running, you jerk? I'm still a representative contender, you know." She said to me. "You're all right. How's this sound? You take the point and I'll cover your rear end." I told her as she blushed at my response.

"That's appreciated." She says until she gets a beam fired right by her face. "Stay focused!" I told her.

"Yeah, tell me something I don't know!" She responded. We dodge another array of lasers as I thought: "You know what? Don't you think that that thing's movements look a little too mechanical?" I asked her.

"Hm, what do you mean? It is machine, you know." Rin told me. "No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm wondering... if there's really anyone piloting it." I said to her.

"What? But an IS won't work without a pilot." She says as she flies over to me. "Now that you mentioned it, I've noticed it hasn't attacked us while we're talking to each other. It almost seems like... she's curious about our conversation." She points out.

"Yeah, I know." "Uh-uh, there's no way it can be unmanned. Someone has to be inside an IS or it won't move. That's just how it is." She restated.

"But think about it. What if... What if there really is no one in there?" I questioned her. "Wait. Are you saying we could beat it if it's unmanned?" She asked me. "Sure. If there's no one in there, we can literally pound it with everything we've got and we'd be okay." I told her. "Pound it with everything we've got, huh?"

"The missile barrage, it's my only means of offense. Normally it's too powerful at full force, so you aren't allowed to go full force with the day training, or in the class match for a matter. However, you could if your opponent was unmanned." I explained to her.

"Look, I don't know anything about your missile barrage or whatever. But you can't seem to hit the darn thing right now, even with your phaser beam." Rin said to me.

"Oh, don't worry. I'll hit it this time." I assured her. "Well, you sound pretty determined. So even though I don't think it's a possibility, let's just say it's unmanned and I attack the thing anyway." Rin said.

"All right. So the plan is that you shoot it with the cannon at full blast, but only when I give the signal. Are we both agreed on that?" I asked her.

"Sure, but it'll miss it." She told me. "It'll be fine even if it does miss. All right, let's do this." Just then, I heard someone call out to me: "James! If you're a man! If you're a man, you better defeat the enemy completely!" I turn around to find the person who talked to me.

"Sh-Shinonono?" Then the drone targeted at Houki and charges it's beam attack.

"Fuck! Houki! Run! Rin, do it now!" I told her. "You got it." She responded as she charged up her shock cannons until I got in her way. "Hey, you stupid idiot! What are you doing? Get out of my line of fire!" She shouted.

"Just shoot, damn it!" I told her. "Are you crazy?! *sighs* Fine, but whatever happens, it's not my fault!"

She then fires her cannons at me as my unit's power gets charged up. I chased at the drone while firing my phaser beam at it destroying one of it's arms in the process before I get punched back into the crash site.

"James!" Rin called out to me as the drone walk slowly to me. It then puts its arm up and charges up another beam attack.

"James, get up!" Rin said to me. "So, how's your aim?" I asked the pilot who's now a part of the plan. "Perfect, of course." She says as she sends out her drones to attack the unmanned unit.

We turn around to find that Cecilia has managed to show up just in time to help us out in destroying the unit. "Alcott, take him out!" I ordered her.

"Roger that. I'm on it." She says as she fires her sniper rifle through the drone, disabling it. "It looks like we made it with not a second to spare." Cecilia said. "I knew you'd come through in time, Cecilia." I said to her.

"Oh-oh, do you really mean it? Still, that's to be expected, right?" She replied. "Well, it's over now. In any case..."

I stop mid-sentence to find that the I.S. has rebooted itself. "Oh, you're shitting me!" I shouted in blasphemy.

[Time Crisis II OST: End Title (1st Part)]

"James, it's still moving!" Rin said to me as the drone readies another beam attack at me. I cried at the drone with all my power as I fire the missile barrage as a last resort, while my vision blinds in whiteness...

~Infirmary, 6:03 P.M.~

Normal P.O.V.

The class league tournament has been withheld because of the drone attack as Rin watches over Caddy as he recovers. As he's sleeping, Rin tries to get closer to him, trying to kiss him on the lips. Surprisingly, she succeeds in her attempt, as Caddy wakes up, finding that someone he knows is kissing him right now.

Rin jolts away from James, as he gets up from bed asking her: "Rin, were you doing I think you were just doing?" He smirked at her. "Were you awake?" She asked. "Oh! You're nervous, aren't you? You cheeky, cheeky girly-girl." He playfully said.

"What makes you say that? I'm not nervous. That's a completely ridiculous thing to say." She said to him.

"So then, what happened to the IS?" James asked her. "It got shut down. Don't worry, though. You were the only one who was hurt in the attack. Everyone else is fine." She told me.

"I see. You know, now that I think about back when we were in elementary school, wasn't it an evening just like this when we had that talk about eating sweet-and-sour pork?" James says to her as he remembers about a promise he made to her back in grade school.

(Flashback): "So, if I become a better cook, will you eat my sweet-and-sour pork every day?" Rin asks Caddy. "Yeah, I will. As long as you remember to stay cute like that." He told her.

"So about that promise, was it actually about something else, Rin? Because I seriously thought you meant you were going to treat me the three meals every day." James asked her.

"No, it's not about something else. It's really not! It's just that when you cook for someone else, your cooking improves." Rin explained to him.

"You know, I'd love to try your sweet-and-sour pork. But to be honest, it'll be hard to top your father's cooking. Man, I'd love to have that again." He pointed out. "Well, yeah. About that... He doesn't work there anymore." Rin told him. "What? Why did he stop?" He asked her.

"The thing is, my parents, they got a divorce. That's one of the reasons why I decided to move back to China." She continued. 'So, her parents parted ways? That's sad to hear from her...' James thought to himself.

"Hey, Rin. Would you wanna go hang out some time?" He asked her. "You mean, like a date?" She asked back. "Sure! I mean, it's been so many years since we've seen each other that, I thought that we should talk more often." James stated. "Umm, all right then! It's a date!" She exclaimed.

Just then, Keith and Cecilia arrived to checkup on James. "Hey, Caddy. It's Keith and Cecilia! How are you holding up?" He called out to him before they run into Rin. "Uh, James? Care to explain why Rin was here?" He asked.

"Well, first of all, she was here to check up on me way before you guys did. And second of all, I just asked her out on a date." Caddy explains to him. "You fuckin' what, mate?" Keith asked, flabbergasted.

"Whoa, calm your tits, mate! All that I said was that I just asked her out on a romantic date. That's all." Caddy said to him. "Wow, Caddy! Are you serious? Way to go, dude!" Ichika said as he, Houki, and Tony showed up as well.

"Well, Caddy. Running to 1st base, I see? Nice work." Tony complimented. "Yeah, thanks Tony." He replied. "Hold on, wait a minute. Where's Miss Orimura?" Caddy asked.

"Hey, you're right. Where is Chifuyu?" Ichika asked as well.
(Rin) "Yeah, where do you think she went?"
(Houki) "She was right there with us until just a few minutes ago."

Meanwhile...

Miss Yamada and Chifuyu are inside the maintenance facilities as they try and figure out where the unmanned drone came from. "So it really was unmanned. And it seems the core was unregistered." Yamada explained. "I see." Chifuyu replied. "There are only 467 known IS cores in the world. And yet somehow, this IS was equipped with a core we know nothing about. How can that be...?" The two continue their research on the drone, trying to find any leads of any culprits involved with the attack earlier...
