It seems that the IS Academy doesn't really have a known location but basing it around the Tokyo area would be the most likely area. Tokyo Bay it is!

And another thing, I'm not exactly familiar where things are in Tokyo; never had been there. Sorry T_T

PS: Yes, I'm aware that in the anime it says the 7th of July. My question comes to why is school so late at getting out?

READ, REVIEW AND RESPOND PLEASE! XD

2245 Hours – May 26, 2022 - IS Academy – IS Battlefields

(Main theme is Heaven's Divide from the Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker Game)

Houki stood in the stands of the IS Battlefields, remembering the times whenever Ichika and company were in danger. In her hand was a red cell phone. She hesitantly looked through the contacts for a certain someone. A feeling that she had been storing for a long time started to emerge.

How much longer must I wait here? I can't just be left here on the sidelines while everybody else fights. Houki thought as she found the contact name: Shinonono Tabane. Every time Ichika and his friends have a defining battle, it is me to stay on the sidelines. This is... Pressing down on the contact, the phone started to ring.

"Hello! Hi hi! This is everybody's Super Star Genius Tabane Shinonono on the line." Houki growled as she heard her older sister, still acting as the child. Pulling away the phone, she was about to hit the end call button as Tabane yelled, "Please no wait! Pretty please Houki-chan!"

"Nee-san…" Houki breathed out.

"Hm, hm! I know exactly why you called. You want your own personal unit, don't you? Don't go lying on me ok?"

Houki sighed. Hopefully this wouldn't take too much time. "Yes, it's true."

"Hehe, I already prepared one just for you! It's the strongest and fastest out of all the other specs in the world, and matches that white one too! And its name is… Akatsubaki!"

1315 Hours - May 27, 2022 – Monorail

Charlotte sat relaxed in the monorails seats, leaving her hands on her laps as she looked outside the window. Kenneth sat right next to the window, tapping away at his synthetic arm, as if looking for something. Ichika rested his hands over the backside of the seat where all three of them were as he happily looked on the other side of the monorail, seeing the waters below gently crashing against each other.

"So why exactly are we going outside the school for?" Charlotte asked as Ichika happily leaned forward.

"Well, Ken and I thought about getting swim suits for the trip coming up soon. With Finals week almost done and everything talking about it, now is probably the best time."

"Oh, I see." Charlotte said, closing her eyes with a smile.

"These uniforms. We don't need them for outside activities right? So why are we wearing them?" Kenneth said, rubbing his chin with his real hand.

"Force of habit I guess?" Ichika forcefully laughed.

"It's a little bit too late for that now." As the three continued to muse, the monorail slowed to a halt as the doors pinged for the passengers to get off. The group of three exited the monorail as its doors closed waited for the people to get on. While a few people ignored the three, some did take notice as they looked at Ichika and Kenneth with slight awe.

"Wait is that..?"

"No-way, both male IS pilots are here."

"That's them right? The only two male pilots of the IS?"

Ichika quickly cupped his face with his right hand, cursing. "Aww, crap. We should have seen this."

Charlotte titled her head. "What do you mean?"

"With both male IS pilots outside, we might be getting unwanted attention. It was the real first time that we had been off-campus to do anything really."

The crowds of people slowly took notice to both male pilots as the three nervously assimilated into the crowds, hoping to get away unnoticed.

"Is there a way that we could have our way unnoticed?" Charlotte asked, grabbing onto Kenneth's real hand. He had, however loosened his grip. The three continued to think on the question as Kenneth snapped his fingers. "Got it! What if I was to disguise myself?" Slowing to a halt near a wall, Charlotte and Ichika looked puzzled at each other then back to him.

"What do you mean? You aren't exactly girly looking." Ichika said, crossing his arms. Charlotte pondered on the thought then quickly shook her head.

Kenneth pulled left sleeve of his uniform revealing his synthetic arm in full. "Using this… The Full Body Modifier, or FBM."

"Which does?" Charlotte asked.

"Well, it can allow me to be disguised as a woman." Kenneth replied as Charlotte and Ichika's eyes widened. After a few seconds, Ichika said,

"Wait, what? How exactly does that work?"

"Something like how Charlotte was able to cloak her gender with her IS jumpsuit." At that moment, Charlotte had thought of several instances what Kenneth could do with that synthetic arm of his. One of those thoughts…

Bad idea, bad idea… Charlotte internally thought as she quickly shook her head again. Finally, she spoke, "Don't you feel that you're missing your… You know? Manhood?"

"It's just cloaking. Still there, but just not shown."

Ichika sighed as the more people started to take notice at them. "Kinda too late now. They already know that we are here." Looking around, Kenneth sighed as well. "Should have prepared sooner."

All three of them sighed as they slowly walked over to the escalators, riding them down. From the corner of the escalators, two female figures wearing IS Academy uniforms peaked their heads out. It was Cecilia and Rin, watching the three go down.

"So what exactly did we see?" Cecilia asked.

"At least my eyes don't deceive me. It's just though three again."

"Should we try and isolate Ichika from the two?"

"Oh yes lets." As the two girls nodded in agreement, they saw Laura watch right past them. It looked like she was heading over to the three. Alarmed, Cecilia and Rin grabbed Laura's arm as she violently turned around, pulling out a knife only to see the two other girls shocked from her reaction.

"Oh. I see that it is just you two." Laura said aloofly, putting away the knife.

"What the hell was that?!" Rin yelled.

"Just being ready."

"With what?" Cecilia then interjected.

"You can never be too careful." The two girls cupped their head with a sigh as Laura titled her head.

"I see that my wife is still hanging around with those two. I shall join up with them." Laura started to leave as two of them pulled her back again.

"Come on, really? We need to strategize for a second." Cecilia said.

"What do you have in mind?"

1400 Hours – Tokyo – Grandberry Mall

Charlotte walked ahead of Kenneth and Ichika as the three looked around. The grand outlet mall expanded in every direction as Charlotte giggled with joy, looking at every store.

"Hey Char," Ichika said, "I'm going with go check on something. You can go ahead and look for something."

"Oh alright. Kenny, are you coming?"

Kenneth shook his head as he said, "Nah, I have something to pick up actually. I'll be right by though."

Charlotte looked puzzled for a second, but then nodded and head off in another direction. Ichika had a small grin as he said, "So you took my advice about that huh?"

"It's a thank you type I suppose." Kenneth grunted back.

"You're a good friend Kenny. So let's go check on those things." The two boys wandered over to a small jewelry shop as the cashier welcomed them.

"Hello there sir. I had placed an order on a bracelet…" Kenneth said as Ichika wanted his turn.

"Oh yes, now I remember." The cashier turned and brought out a small gift box and handed it to him. "Cash or credit?"

Kenneth pulled out of his debt card as the cashier quickly scanned it and gave it back. "Thank you." Kenneth put out a small smile as Ichika walked up to the counter and did the same thing. Obtaining a small gift box as well, the two exited the store as Ichika recognized two familiar faces. Both of them had red hair, a male and a female.

The male was rather tall, and carried a slightly thug-ish face. His hair behind a bandana, he was carrying several bags with boxes. They all looked heavy. The female too had a bandana. She looked rather tomboy-ish, but it didn't detract from her beauty.

"But sis!" The red haired man said, placing the bags on the ground.

"The summer time is a time to be ready for any situation!" his sister replied, placing her hands on her hips.

"Ah Ran, what are you talking about?" Ichika said as she turned towards him, very surprised.

"Ah, ah Ichika!" Ran Gotanda said, as Dan smiled behind her.

"Oh hey there Ichika, how's it goin-!" Dan was suddenly cut off midsentence as Ran shoved him back as he fell.

"Oh, oh Ichika!" Ran, said twirling her hair around. "Guess what? I got accepted into the IS Academy!"

Ichika had a wide smile as he said, "Wow! That's great! Study smart, alright?"

"Of course… Sempai." Ran blushed as she continued to twirl around her hair. Kenneth on the other hand helped Dan back up.

"Thanks. You're Kenneth right? Dan Gotanda."

"Kenneth Buyuu. A pleasure." Once Dan was back on his feet, Kenneth looked at him, seeing that he was pretty tall compared to Ichika and himself. Nevertheless, he attempted to have a small conversation, since his sister and Ichika were still talking.

"So how long have you known Ichika?"

"Since middle school or so."

Seeing Ran getting easily flustered by simply talking with Ichika, Kenneth frowned and asked, "Is Ichika always like this?"

"Definitely." Dan chuckled. Kenneth then suddenly felt his right hand being grabbed as he turned, seeing Charlotte. "Come'on!" She said, as she started to drag him away. Dan saw the action and looked puzzled as the two stumble walked away.

Love, love is in the air. If only Ichika would get a clue… He thought as Ichika started to apologize to Ran about something.

"Alright Charlotte. Care to explain exactly where we are going?" Kenneth asked as the two entered a swim suit store as she let go of him right in front of a changing booth. Kenneth tilted his head as he looked around. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Cecilia, Rin and Laura looking around the bikinis. He chuckled to himself about seeing Laura looking around, her gaze rather glazed and unsure of what to do.

He then heard the sound of clothing being removed from the changing booth. His mind wandering, he thought up of rather eroge instances and-

Wait… What the hell am I thinking? Kenneth thought, cupping his head as Charlotte announced, "Ok, finished!"

Resuming his normal composure, Kenneth replied. "Ready."

At that moment, Charlotte opened the curtains of the changing booth. She had an orange bikini stripped with black lines on the skirt part. Kenneth, eyes widening, smiled. "It's beautiful that's for sure."

Charlotte twirled in a circle, exposing the entire bikini to him. "Mhhm. Maybe I'll buy this one."

Happily turned back to the changing booth, Charlotte closed the curtains again. Kenneth looked around the store as Rin, Cecilia, and Laura had decided to do some bikini shopping in the same store. Ichika then walked into the store as well as Rin and Cecilia hurried out of sight to spy.

Unaware of the two, Ichika saw Laura looking puzzled at the bikinis. He walked over to Laura and asked, "Hello again Laura. What are you doing?"

Turning around, Laura blushed and took a hair strand out of her face. "Looking for something. I cannot really decide."

"Why not ask your superior officer? I'm quite sure that Kenneth would do the same." Ichika said jokingly.

Laura's eye lit up as she nodded and took out her cell phone walking away. "W-w-wait. You aren't serious are you?"

She turned to Ichika with a dead serious look.

1100 Hours – June 6, 2022 – Beach Front besides the SeaSide School

"It's 11 o'clock everybody!" Maya Yamada yelled to the students as they scattered about the beach. "Return to the inn by dinner alright?"

"Yes ma'am!"

As several of the girls started to play with a beach ball, Ichika started stretching his body as Honne Nohotoke walked over to him with her three friends. "Hey there Orimu! Do you want to play some beach ball?"

Ichika smiled as he said, "Definitely." Just then, Rin jumped on his back to his surprise. "Oi, Rin! What are you doing?"

"Wow! I think I can see my house from here!"

"Hey that looks like fun! I wanta turn!"

"Me too!"

What the hell? Did I just become everybody's piggyback servant? Ichika thought as Cecilia huffed next to him. In her hands were a beach umbrella and towel. "Ichika, did you forget what we talked about on the bus ride here?"

"Oh right. That uuhhh…"

"Oh my, you are an oaf!" Cecilia huffed again as she slammed the umbrella into the sand. Unrolling the towel she loosened and removed her top bikini as she laid stomach against the ground. Placing tanning oil right besides her she said, "Now then… As you promised."

"Hey! What exactly are you trying to pull?!" Rin yelled, fuming.

Cecilia had herself a sly grin. "Oh nothing. Just what Ichika promised. A nice rub with the sun oil of course."

Rin hopped off Ichika as he sighed. "I guess that it can't be helped." Kneeling down next to Cecilia, he started pouring the sun oil on his hands as the girls watched, their eyes gleaming with anger for not thinking of this idea first. As Ichika started to place his hands on Cecilia's back, she squealed.

"Ichika, can you please warm the oil before you rub it on?"

"Sorry! This is my first time doing something like this." Ichika replied as he started to rub his hands together. Cecilia's face blushed at his comment.

"Oh… This is your first time? Well then you are excused." Rin and the rest of the girls slanted their eyes as Ichika continued. Cecilia seemed to be enjoying herself a little bit too much.

"Ooohhh Ichika… While you're at it, may you please rub it everywhere, including my butt?"

Ichika choked up as he stuttered out, "Ev-Everywhere?!"

Rin bumped Ichika to the side, her hands already covered with sun oil. "Oh no. Please, let me do this one." Cackling, Rin started to rapidly apply the oil as Cecilia started laughing, feeling tickled.

"Oh, you want more?" Rin evilly grinned as she lifted the bottom part of Cecilia's bikini, rubbing her hands down her butt. Squealing, Cecilia turned over completely, yelling, "Rin that is Enou-"

That second, the girls and Ichika saw an exposed Cecilia as the wind had graciously blew over, covering her nipples. Ichika's eyes widened as blood started to run down his nose. Cecilia, noticing the nose bleed, materialized her IS gauntlet arm as she punched Ichika in the face.

Luckily, Ichika had deployed his IS's Absolute Barrier before the punched connected.

It still hurt.

Meanwhile

Kenneth stood by the woman's bathroom as she waited for Laura and Charlotte to come out. Yelling inside, he said, "So your commanding officer said 'To show some skin with a bikini'?"

"Keep quiet Midshipman!"

"Very well Second Lieutenant."

Kenneth smirked as he continued to wait. After a few more minutes, Charlotte exited the bathroom with a towel-mummy with grey pigtails. An iconic black eyepatch was over where its left eye would be.

"Second Lieutenant is that…"

The towel mummy grunted as Charlotte started to it. Kenneth scratched his head, following after the two. A few minutes later, the three had arrived at the beach as Cecilia and her friend Shizune Takatsuki started to drag Rin towards the inn against her will.

"She doesn't seem to be hurt is she's that energetic and…" Ichika said aloud as he turned to see the three. Smiling at Charlotte and Kenneth, he turned to the towel-mummy with a surprised look. "Woah, what's with the towel monster?"

"Well, this is Laura and she is-." Kenneth was cut short as Laura stamped on his toes, as he started to hop on one leg.

"Wait… This is Laura?" Ichika asked again as Charlotte whispered into Laura's ear. "You know, if you keep this thing up, you might lose favor with Ichika. Would you mind if the other girls were to have fun with him while you're still in this thing?"

"N-no! That is unacceptable!" Flustered, Laura quickly removed the towels revealing her black small bikini. The bikini top had a nice holding tie in the front as its loose ends draped over. Ichika's face lit up with amusing surprising. "Wow! Laura you look great! That really is cute!"

Her exposed eye widened as her face turned bright like a tomato. "You-you-you really th-think this is c-c-cute! That's… That's the first time anybody has said that to me." Looking down, Laura started to fumble around with her fingers.

From a little bit far away, Honne and her friends yelled and waved over next to a beach ball net. "Come'on Ichika! You promised a game with us!"

"Right! Coming!" He yelled as he turned to the three. "How about a game huh guys?"

Charlotte and Kenneth nodded as Laura continued to blush mindlessly nodding. The four hurried over as to the court. Kenneth, seeing the odd numbers, stepped out as he started to tap away at his synthetic arm.

Taking the beach ball, one of Honne's friends grinned, readying her serve. "This is why my nickname is the 'Summer Devil'! Alright, here we go!" Launching the ball up, she smacked it to the other side of the court as Charlotte set it into the air.

"Nice set!" Ichika yelled as he jumped up and spiked the ball. Honne was in the right position as she bounced the ball into the air just before the net. Seeing the opportunity, the other friend of Honne dashed over and spiked it to the other side, smacking Laura in the face as she fell to the ground.

Charlotte and Ichika gasped as they ran over to Laura's side. Kenneth saw the hit as well, making his way over too. "Laura, are you ok?" They all said.

"He… He called me cute." She mumbled her face red from the hit or perhaps still blushing.

"Hey Laura, are you ok?" Ichika leaned in more as Laura bolted up and ran into the ocean's water.

"Uuuhhh, should I go after her?" Ichika asked as Kenneth and Charlotte laughed. Regaining her composure, Charlotte replied, "Nah, it's probably best to just let her be."

Just then, the girls on the beach started to talk amongst themselves in shock and awe as Chifuyu and Maya had returned to the beach. Clad in bikinis, their hair blew in the wind as the girls gushed about their bikinis. Ichika, stunned and shocked, turned away from his sister's view.

"OOohhh. Volleyball huh? Mind if we join in?" Maya asked as the Honne and friends nodded as they stepped out while another girl rotated in.

Scratching his head nervously, Ichika returned his view to the court as Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "Could it be that Chifuyu is your type Ichika?"

"Wha? What are you saying?" Ichika looked over.

"Well you really aren't reacting that much with every other girl in the Freshman year being in bikinis." Kenneth pointed out.

"This is a lot of rivals…" Charlotte shook her head. "And now Orimura-sensei joins in."

"Yes your right. My sister is an incredibly strong enemy. Let's be ready for anything!"

Kenneth raised an eyebrow as Charlotte had a small giggle. "I don't think you quite understood me."

"What?"

Kenneth and Charlotte turned to each other as they smiled. Bumping their fists together, they got ready. One of the girls brought over a radio as it started playing a song from 2012. By the sounds of it, it barely started.

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time

Chifuyu had a deadly grin on her face as she served up the ball. As the two teams volleyed the ball back and forth as each side didn't want to release..

Woke up on the right side of the bed
What's up with this Prince song inside my head?
Hands up if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time

The volleyball players started to sway with the beat, keeping their bodies lowered and ready to strike at the ball. Kenneth nearly missed hitting at the ball as it flew towards Charlotte. Reacting just in time, Charlotte set the ball towards Ichika as he spiked it into the sand.

Slept in all my clothes like I didn't care
Hopped into a cab, take me anywhere
I'm in if you're down to get down tonight
'Cause it's always a good time

The girls, realizing the songs beat started to dance along, swaying around in happiness as Rin was being chased by Cecilia. Hearing the song starting to reach its chorus, the volleyball players stopped as they attempted to sing along.

Good morning and good night
I'll wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright!
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time!

Laura started to make her way back to shore as other girls gathered around her, smiling and giggling at her bikini. Laura continued to look embarrassed and shyly looked away. One of the girls grabbed her hand and started to drag her away from the waters.

Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
It's always a good time
Whoa-oh-oh-oh Whoa-oh-oh-oh
We don't even have to try, it's always a good time!

I was originally planning for this part to longer, but I guess that I will split it up into two parts! That's it for now!
