Arika's POV

I wake surrounded by flowers. I remember trying to relax here but I guess that's out of the question judging by the footsteps of someone approaching. I can't reach my weapon in my current position. Well I suppose I could attack them with brute force and then ready my weapon if I really need to. "Hey there you sure you should be sleeping in the fields like this alone?" Says a woman with long blue hair that's tied back. She obviously a knight as she's wearing armor and a rapier on her belt. "Is there a problem with sleeping here?" I ask the woman. "Well you know there been a lot of friends showing up recently wouldn't want a cute gremlin girl like you get hurt now." she says as she offers her hand to help me up. I notice that she has the strong scent of roses on her. I take her hand and use it to help myself up. "That's right I guess. Ur is only 10 or so miles that way isn't it?" I say as I point to the southeast where there is a large black swirling cloud. "Yep a lovely maiden like you should be careful it would be a crime if the world was robbed of you. by the way I'm Serena Alestria but a lot of people started to call me Mrs. Sora. Just call me Serena I don't care too much for last names especially one that's being forced on me." she introduces herself. "Nice to meet you. I'm Arika Tinkinzar. Just call me Arika." I say to her. "Well nice to meet you Arika, mind if I escort you back to town, it's dangerous to go alone after all. Don't worry I'm a knight so you can trust me."

Arisana's POV

I wake up holding up my arm for some reason… I then let it fall back to my side and sit up, What was that dream? God I can't make sense of anything right now. I get up and head to the infirmary. I might as well see if Serene if awake. or how she's doing. Once I walk in I see Reekava, Fiiver-Man, and a mysterious person with white hair reading a biology book. I walk over to Reekava. "Morning. So what's with the crowd?" I ask her wondering why all of them are gathered here. "Hell if I know. I came here to make sure she wasn't going to die. Then he came in to check on her as well and mister tall and silent was here before either of us." That's odd. "So now that all of you are here I'll… Try to keep this brief. Cadet Abstra will you wake up Cadet Sora so we can start?" He is a bit odd but I'm guessing he must be one of our superiors. I quickly shake her a little. "You know that won't work. Besides we can show that bastard Fiiver-man that Serene is ours!" I swallow my pride and give her a quick kiss. Serene opens her eyes to see the group around her she then give a look of victory to Reekava, a look that says 'Yeah bitch this how I start my morning deal with it!'. "Morning Ari-Chan, Morning Fiiver-Kun!" she says ignoring Reekava. She then notices Mr. Tall and Silent as Reekava called him. "Um and you are?" she asks. "Of Course I forgot to introduce myself. I am Dr. Arlison Morlin. I am in charge of the Biotech corps and am currently working on a Construct Army of Mecha Knights. However we are going to work on a separate form of construct. We will be working on a Autonomous Battle Assistance Construct. Though the other Biotechs have taken to calling them Battle Sprites. We would like a group of recruits to work on a few of them to make sure they are functional and safe for the more experienced Biotechs to work on them. So What do you say?" He asks us. "Sound like fun but what about our drills for today?" she asks. "You'll be excused as your unit isn't the only one I'm cherry picking. As you can see I'm also stealing from the first combat battalion and the third Psyops units." Well I see. "I'm in." I say. "Sure if Ari's in then I am too." Reekava says. "Well as much as I'd like to get back to breaking things I guess I can join if the Goddess is going to be among us." Well it seems Dead-Man is easy to convince as ever. "Alright. It seems I can get to work with you. Cadet Sora can you please be ready to go? We have one last stop before we go to work." He says as he hurries us out so Serene can have some privacy. Serene pulls the curtain and gets dressed. "Alright let's go see these Battle Fairy things" she cheers. With that we gather in an elevator and go down a couple floors before getting off at a cold metal hallway. "Stay close everyone." He tells us as we start walking through the deathly silent hall. "This is the one. Guard open it." He says. Then someone in some heavy looking armor walks over and opens the door showing Signales sitting on a bed staring at the ceiling. His fatigues are black which means he's a criminal being held in the brig… Which I just now realize we're in. "Come to reprimand me in person uh?" I would love to. "No. I came to take you. There's a job that only cadets like you can handle. They suggested using you as well. Though be warned. One wrong move you're going to be stuck here for the rest of training. Now let's get moving." Signales then joins our little formation as we leave.

After we leave the castle we walk to the far end of Camp Vale and see the Biotech Facility. "This is where you'll be designing the battle sprites. Try not to destroy anything." He says as we enter the building. "Holy smoke the WiFi in must be freakin' awesome no way of lagging in MMOs with these babies." Serene comments when seeing the tech and supercomputers this place has. "Well yes. Naturally we have better coffee than the rest of the Camp as well." Morlin adds. "I'd hate to be rude but being as I'm going back to the clink when this is over mind showing us where we'll be working?" Signales says as he cracks his knuckles. "Ah of course. Right over here." He then guides us to a large table with 5 piles of circuits, mechanical parts, and a two piece white shell. "Alright so what the guidelines for making the Battle Fairies?" She asks him. "This is your table. Your Group A. I'll give you all some badges later but for now just worry about putting things together Group A. I've written the guidelines on the instructions. If you don't understand the instructions just ask the White Rose Graduates." With that he leaves us to it. I take a corner seat and find the instructions. It seems it must have at least two weapons. A Tesla Cannon and a cloaking field. A third weapon is optional but you have to find the parts for it yourself. Then again it shouldn't be too hard. We're in a Schemers playground… If I knew what Schemer meant. "Schemer means Engineer. Oh this will be fun let's make a super murder machine, then blow it up just to see the true beauty of destruction!" Oh thanks for the info and no I'm not going to blow this up. Doing so would be counter productive to my current mission. "You've got to admit that blowing shit up is fun though. Like that one Fourth of July oh that was awesome!" Yeah awesome and dangerous. We had to cover the scorch marks with a fountain. "I liked the scorch marks better…" Yeah well Mom and Dad didn't. I better get to work. "Hello Ari-Chan um hate to interrupt you and Ari-Tan but you haven't even touched you machine thingies yet." I look at Serene. "I unearthed the instructions." I tell her as I glance through the instructions. It's all a bunch of mechanic gibberish. It makes some sense though. "You need anything Serene? Or are you just going to stand there staring at me? Plus how did you know Arika and I were talking?" I ask her as I start putting everything together. "Oh that's easy your expression slightly changes when you two are talking to each other sometimes dramatically if one of you is angry. Well alright time to go into the concept stage!" she cheers after explaining how she know when me and Arika communicate. Serene then clears room on her table and starts drawing her concept even though we already have blueprint of what we're making. She's just crazy. I then start putting the circuit boards and mechanical equipment together. After a few hours Morlin brings in more groups of Cadets and I manage to finish the main insides. "Ah My Goddess your talent is great as always and as vast as the heavens themselves." I suddenly hear Fiiver-Man say. When I look I him at Serene's table who's more focused on her battle sprite then him, it also seems she's done with her concept and is about halfway done with the main insides. I get up and walk by Serene's table. I notice a cat chibi version of what we're supposed to be building on one of her papers. "Wow Serene. It's cute. Your pretty talented." I say to rub her ego. Serene then suddenly stops "Oh thank you Ari-Chan! Hearing from you means so much for me!" She says as she hug me. I then notice Fiiver-Man staring at me, so I decide to return Serene's embrace pulling her closer to me and give him a death stare telling him 'she's mine'. "Yeah that's right show that bastard that Serene love us and not some whiny pussy like him!" I then go and grab a soda from one of the machines nearby. When I turn to go back to the table Fiiver-man bumps into my table on purpose and sends my construct innards to the floor damaging it. "Oh hell no he didn't! Only WE can destroy things we create. KICK HIS ASS SANA!" Then with the fires of rage sparking up in me he then stomps on it completely destroying it spilling gasoline on the flames. I then use the explosion of rage to launch my can of unopened soda right at his weak point! Then as he's recovering I dash up to him and slam my leg into the same spot sending him to the ground whining like the whiny pussy he is! "Touch my machine again I will do something far worse. Got it?" I say to him as I pick up my soda which is slightly dented and start picking up the damaged pieces. This is all utterly worthless. To think a needle cannon would be pretty damn cool. I now have to re-design one from scratch. Good thing is I can make it better than before. I then notice Reekava come by and kick him in the nuts a third time. Good job Reekava! He's going to be stuck singing soprano now. Suddenly Serene tackles Reekava forcing her to the ground. "You bitch he's already in pain you heartless harpy." she says as those to start fighting. "Yeah so? He deserved it for what he did to Ari's Construct! You say you love her? Yet you won't avenge her creation? Ha! This proves only I love Ari!" She yells at her. Suddenly the air around Serene gets thicker as light around her seem to fade now one of her eyes are red. "WHAT WAS THAT BITCH I LOVE HER UNLIKE YOU SOULLESS CLUMP OF FLESH! FIVER-MAN DOES DESERVE PUNISHMENT BUT YOU WENT TOO FAR!" she says with her voice being a mix both hers and what ever dark entity she has in her. "You really think you can scare me? Go ahead bitch! I can take you!" She yells at her. This is quickly devolving from an argument to Mortal Kombat. Serene punches Reekava in the face, starting a brawl between the two. I try to pull the two of them apart but it isn't easy considering Reekava is pulling on Serene's hair and Serene is trying to strangle her. One of Reekava's free arms elbows the downed Fiiver-Man in the nuts a fourth time. Suddenly something hits me in the head really trying to piss me off! Suddenly I feel sick as a figure walks out wielding a large terrifying green gun and a jagged green sword. "Hmm? Young honorable cadets are fighting? With all the noise your squabbling was causing I thought the perimeter had fallen. I will make this clear. Continue your troubling ways and I will kill all of you. This the Biohazard Cannon has the same effect as cyanide but is one hundred times more effective. And my Sword the Dread Venom Striker delivers the same amount of venom that is equal to one thousand strikes from a Black Mamba. So I suggest thou shalt not test my patience and get back to work… NOW." We quickly get back to work or at least most of us do I still need to clean up my destroyed machine. Hmm? I notice a wrench on the ground. It must've been what hit me earlier. I pick it up as Morlin goes back to his office as I notice Signale's table is a wrench short. I quickly put on his table. I can kick the punk's ass later. I got a murder machine to clean up and build. I quickly brush up the rest of it and start retrieving the parts I need having already memorized them.

A few hours and a couple of cans of soda later and it's finished. It has a functional hover engine, 1200 Mega-volt Tesla cannon, a barrier that makes you invisible and protects you from enemy attacks, and a Needle cannon with a firing rate of 7000 RPM. It also has personalized blue LEDs, a Red and Black color scheme, and if need be can hack any tech using a WiFi signal up to 700 feet. I'm a damn hard worker. "Wow your Battle Fairy is so cool, it amazing that you're already done! I guess I shouldn't expect any less from an Abtsra you're the coolest girlfriend ever!" I hear Serene say complimenting my work. "Yeah I know. What about yours?" I ask her taking my cans to the recycling bin. "It's almost done just add a bit a personal flavor by make it adorable." she says as she attaches cat ears to it.I look at it for a little bit and decide it's adorbs. "Aw how adorable. I almost forget it could blow up at any second." I say the last part carelessly and hope it didn't bother Serene. "How that reminds me I should check the cooling fan before turning it on." Serene says as she reopens the construct. "Well I should probably go grab some dinner before I pass out. I haven't had the time for breakfast or lunch today. These constructs are as complex as a car engine to an idiot." I say carelessly "Wait just let me finish and I'll treat you to something special." Serene says as finishes up and adds a cat tail to it. "Hmm? What the hell are you talking about? The Camp is secured. We can't leave without permission from a CO." I remind her. Serene turns on her "Battle Fairy" as she calls it. When it turns on it's eyes light up with similar blue LED light like mine. Serene does a quick inspection of her floating cat ball, it looks like she wired the ears and tail in a way that they can move instead of being static. I don't know if it's actually any good for combat but it's definitely pretty damn cute, we'll see tomorrow if the Cat Ball can fight. Though if it can't I'm worried about it. Then again if she spent all of her time making it cute I can't expect much less, "Well it's definitely cute. So is there any reason you added the ears and tail to it? Aside from it being unbearably adorable." I ask her wondering why she would go to all of that trouble. "What can I say, I love cats. I have at least eight cats back at home. Alright lets go ask Morlin for clearance to leave camp for a little bit." she replies as she turn off her construct… Eight cats? Dear GOD please tell me Serene is not going to be that crazy cat lady. I don't need to be getting with her if that's how it'll be. I don't hate them but eight is a bit extreme. "Well I see. So we're going to ask Morlin? Are you sure that'll work? He is the type of person that got a bunch of recruits and trapped us here like sweatshop workers." I remind her. Why on Isora would he let us go? "Well true but I don't know where Olzo is right now and Morlin is closer." she answers.I don't want to admit it but she does have a point. "Well Morlin is in his office. Lets go ask him." I say a little curious on what she has planned. When we get to his office we see him sitting in his chair drinking tea with classical music playing on his PC. "Hmm? Girls what is it?" He asks as he pauses the music. "Morlin Sir since we're done with our projects, I was wondering if we could get permission to leave camp for a little bit to get some fresh air." She asks. "Well I don't see what's wrong with the fresh air of the camp being that we're far enough from the city but I did sort of keep you guys here for the day. You two were the most focused on your projects you didn't even respond to when lunch was being served. Well these things are complex. I'll call ahead to the Motor Pool for you. I Head Biotech Morlin give you two permission to leave the grounds of Camp Vale." Well I guess we can leave now and we can rent a vehicle from the Motor Pool. Yay! "Thank you Sir!" Serene thanks being professional, but the look her eyes tell me that she's so happy that she'll probably be skipping in joy to the Motor Pool.
