Alright, I'll alter the plotline of Date A Live a little bit to fit this genderbended story as well as the Spirits' personalities.
First things first. As for Male!Tohka's personality, I've actually read a manga where a boy was SUPER tsundere, so due to the original Tohka being a tsundere, I'll make Male!Tohka a tsundere bishounen who tries to act cool and ends up being childish in the end. I'll also make him a little clingy to Shiori.
Secondly, I'm not going to fanservice Shiori. At least, not a WHOLE BUNCH of times. There's rarely a Reverse Harem that fanservices the heroine.
Thirdly, there has to be fanservice on the male Spirits somehow. I've seen Reverse Harems fanservice the men in some way. So I'll need to think about that.
Fourthly, a short answer to a part of trung-t-rung's review, I'm actually going to make Male!Origami be aggressive to Shiori.
Lastly, an answer to Seeker213's review, I would like to do that, but I want the names to sound similar, so yeah. But thanks for telling me that. Sorry.
Anyway, here's the third chapter!
*EDIT of 8/22/17: So, first off, the story's gonna go the way the anime is with slight moderations. That's what I meant then. Secondly, M!Tohka's gonna be tsundere 'cause there are more tsundere guys than you probably know. He will still act childish though and also clingy to Shiori, as he was before. Third, no fanservice on Shiori until she's Shido, sorry! Fourthly, M!Origami will be overly possessive and flirty with Shiori. He will make his moves on her as well. Yes, that's overly creepy, but that's what Origami did...well, I'll also make him pull back when he sees that Shiori is too uncomfortable. We'll see...*
Episode 1: April 1X-Part 3
Shiori's P.O.V
"You're here to kill me, aren't you?" the mysterious man asked me. What? Why would I do that? He was a bit intimidating, but I didn't know him and I wouldn't dare try to fight him! I mean, look at him! "In that case, I'll finish you. Here and now." I widened my eyes in surprise.
"Wait! I'm not an enemy of yours!" I cried out in a terrified voice.
He looked slightly surprised, but didn't move his sword away from my face. "Really?"
I nodded. "I would never kill someone..." I paused. "Who are you?"
Suddenly, we both heard a noise. We looked up at the sky and saw...masculine figures with fancy-looking jet-packs coming to us. They shot missiles at our direction! I screamed and tried to run away. However, when they got to the guy, he put his hand up and created a forcefield, protecting us both from the missiles. I widened my eyes in surprise. I knew he had powers, but wow...
"Why don't you guys realize the futility of it all?" he asked. Was he asking ME that question? The missiles blew up when another set of missiles were shot again. The guy jumped up and slashed them with his large sword, making them explode behind him. Amazing...
The guy turned and looked at me...with sad eyes. The sight almost made my heart drop. Why does he look sad? He has great strength, but looks like he was in sorrow...
One of the flying men shot another set of missiles, making the mysterious guy destroy them all again. He then tried to slash them, but they dodged. The mysterious guy landed on the ground. A male wearing robotic-like armor with the fancy jetpack pointed a long gun at him. The battle was far, but I could see that he had white hair. White hair...
The guy pulled the trigger on the gun, but the mysterious guy blocked it like it was nothing and began to attack him. The guy with the jetpack dodged the mysterious guy's attacks. He then made the jetpack disappear, jumped up, and landed right behind me. I was still shocked from the situation. What's going on?!
"Itsuka...Shiori?" he said to me from behind. I turned and saw Tobiichi in a tight black, gray, and white body armor with matching headgear and pair of boots. Oh my god, was that really him?!
"Tobiichi...Orinosuke?!" I exclaimed. "What the heck are you wearing?!" I never seen him like this before, especially in an outfit that hugged his athletic body tightly! Was this why he left?!
The mysterious guy slashed lavender power at us. I scrambled away while Tobiichi dodged it and got out a technological sword. He then began a sword fight with him. He fought...to be honest, really well. Was he military? The two leaped up and clashed their swords together again. It created a huge force. I shielded my eyes from the blast. What the hell? What the actual hell?! All of a sudden, I got thrown off of the ground due to the force and was knocked out once again.
Many thoughts and questions roamed my head while I was knocked out. One question I've always been asking stands out: What the heck was going on? I didn't get everything I just witnessed. That guy...Tobiichi...
"Location: FJ-1820," said a male voice. "Target: Prince. Target lost." ...Prince? Target?
"Insufficent readings to continue tracking," said a female voice. Now what was going on? "Target is lost."
"It's been awhile," a distorted voice said. The only thing I could see were lips. "We meet again."
"Wh-who are you?" I asked wearily.
"I'm so happy. But please, wait a bit longer, will you? I won't let you go. I won't ever make the same mistake ever again. So..." Everything faded to black again. Seriously, what the hell was going on...?
...
I woke up and saw a light shining on my face. I shot up and breathed heavily. I turned and saw a guy with gray-ish straight hair in a midway, small, and messy ponytail. He had eye bags under his eyes and wore a brown and tan suit and tie. He had a small teddy bear in his shirt pocket. Who-
"Looks like you're awake," he said in a rather monotone voice.
Needing answers, I asked, "Who are you?"
"I am the analysis officer here. Murasame Reiji is my name. No worries. I may not be a doctor, but I do basic nursing."
That's not exactly what I want to hear, I thought before looking around. The setting looked a bit technologically advanced, so I was unfamiliar with it. "Um...where am I exactly?"
"Fraxius' sickbay," Reiji replied. "We brought you here while you were unconscious." I did remember going unconscious when the force came. "Fraxius" though? What was that? Suddenly, Kouta came up into my mind. Kouta! Oh crap!
"Excuse me, but have you seen my little brother?!" I asked Reiji hurriedly. "He was at a diner, not a shelter and-"
"Calm down," he interrupted me. "The boy you're speaking about is perfectly fine." I gasped, but I haven't described his appearance to him, so how would he know?
"Really? Are you sure?"
Reiji sighed. "Listen, I know you need some answers to your questions, but I'm not the person to explain them for you. The commander in charge will answer any questions you have." He gestured me to follow him, so I got off of the cot I was on and did so.
...
Soon, we reached to a room. A woman that looked like she was in her late 20's with long blonde hair and brown eyes saw us. "She's here," Reiji informed her.
The woman nodded to him. "Thank you, Murasame." She then looked at me. "Let me introduce myself. I'm the vice-commander, Kannazuki Kyouko. Pleased to meet you." She bowed down to me.
"Uh...pleased to meet you too?" I greeted in an unsure way as I bowed back. She wasn't that bad, I guess. I looked up and widened my eyes at who I saw at the top seat of the room. It was Kouta! He was wearing a white dress shirt with a black tie, pants and a cape that matched his hair color, and also had a black and hot pink bracelet on his right wrist. Where was the white one I bought him for his birthday present?! He also didn't look happy, like energetic happy. He looked more serious happy.
"Welcome aboard," he greeted me with a grin. "I welcome you to my command center, the Ratatoskr." The what? I looked at a screen and saw the same guy with the purple hair and eyes from earlier. "This, you see here, is a Spirit, which we just lost." I wanted to care about what was happening, but was this REALLY Kouta, the energetic little brother of mine?!
"Hold on a second!" I shouted.
He frowned. "What now, Shiori? You're already making the commander give you a personal explanation." Wait...did he just call me by my name?! He should say "onee-san", like he usually does! Seriously, was this Kouta or what?!
"You should shed tears of joy in such an honor," he continued. "For now, I'll give you the privilege to lick my feet." Uh...
Kyouko looked happy, strangely. "Really?!" What is she happy for? Now I just see her as weird...
He punched her gut. "Not you!" Excuse me, but Kouta shouldn't hit women!
However, she looked happy about it. "Thank you..." She tumbled down the stairs. Yep, she's weird.
I looked at Kouta and asked, "Are you REALLY Kouta?"
Kouta looked at me in disbelief. "Are you seriously telling me that you forgot what I look like, Shiori?" Calling me by my name again... "Sheesh, as if your memory couldn't get any worse. I might even need to send you to a retirement home." He was acting like a 14-year-old already...
"Where are we and what are you doing he-" I asked before getting cut off from him.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll fill in the details later. For now, just listen to me and understand this." I sighed and nodded as I looked up at the screen. That boy...
"First of all, that's a Spirit," he said. "They're beings who did not originally exist in this world. When they come here, they create spacequakes and blow the area up."
"Blow it up?" So that's why the spacequakes happen. Because of those Spirits?
"Not very bright for a girl, aren't you?"
Hey! I thought.
"In other words, the phenomenon referred to as spacequakes are caused by Spirits, such as this one, coming to Earth." I never seen Kouta act so serious and smart before. But that guy from earlier...he really did all that?
The screen then showed the people and Tobiichi with the fancy jetpacks. "These soldiers are part of the A.S.T., or Anti-Spirit Team. They work for the Japan Ground Self Defense Force." A.S.T.? "If a Spirit appears, these guys fly over and deal with the situation. They basically slaughter them."
"Sl-slaughter?!" I exclaimed. That was what Tobiichi was doing?!
"You're here to kill me, aren't you?" That's why that mysterious guy asked that...
"Also, there's another method of dealing with Spirits, aside from the A.S.T.," Kouta said. "However, we need your help on that."
"My help?" I asked. What do they need me for?
"You'll begin training tomorrow," Kouta stated, not answering my question. "I'll have someone do the paperwork for you, but for now, you should go to school like-"
"Hold up!" I said, making my little brother groan. "What's this training?! And what are you planning me to do?!"
"Just wait and see, Shiori," he replied. "You could just say yes anyway." I didn't like this Kouta. I liked my energetic little brother, not this bossy 14-year-old punk. "I know you can be an idiot sometimes, but why the hell did you go outside anyway?" Did he just say "hell"? I did NOT hear him just say that, right?
"I was looking for you!" I answered. "YOU said to meet at the diner even if there's a spacequake!"
Kouta raised a brow. "You took that seriously?"
"No-I mean, yeah! The GPS on my phone said you were there!"
He raised another brow. "Oh, I see." He paused. "Shiori, we're above the diner." I looked puzzled. ABOVE the diner?
"Turn the filter off!" Kouta commanded to someone. The room disappeared. I looked down and saw the city right above me! I jumped back. "We're currently above Tenguu City by 15,000 meters." I still can't believe what I saw. Are we in an airship or something?! "We're in the airship, Franxinus." So that's what Reiji meant earlier. I wonder how this will go...
The next day, I went to school again. But when I went to homeroom...
"Although it's been two days since the term started, we'll be having an assistant homeroom teacher with us," announced Tamaki-sensei. The class then looked at...
"My name's Murasame Reiji," Reji greeted. He was wearing glasses, a white lab coat, a baby-blue plain T-Shirt, gray pants, and a pair of red and white sneakers. So much for having fashion sense. "I teach Psychics." He yawned. "Nice to mee..." He suddenly passed out on the floor. The class was freaking out. I just sweat-dropped. Why was he here?!
...
Later, I was in the Psychics Preperation Room, where Kouta and Reiji was at. "Alright, tell me why you're a new teacher here," I asked. "Murasame?"
The gray-haired man turned to me. "Just call me Reiji, Shiro," he replied. Shiro?
"Uh, my name is Shiori," I corrected him.
"I know your name, Shiro," he said. I sighed. Maybe it was a nickname?
"Anyway, I can reach you quickly if something happens," he explained. "So that's why I became a teacher here."
Kouta sighed. "Seriously, if you could use your head a little, you might've figured it out."
I looked at him with an annoyed look. "And why are you here? What about school?" I asked.
"I've made some proper arrangements," he answered, shrugging ninchalantly. Kouta...
"So, are you going to explain what I need to do?"
Kouta took a deep breath. "Well, I do need to tell you that all Spirits feel loneliness, anger, and other negative things. It's your job to make them feel positive things, like happiness and love, so they can become human." I blushed and gulped. Love? I suddenly felt nervous.
Kouta handed me his PS Vita. "The software in my PS Vita will show you how to do that with the Spirits. It's an excellent guide." I had mixed feelings about this, but I had to try. I turned on the PS Vita. I saw...a 2-D anime guy on the screen, the one Hitomi showed me! What was Kouta playing here?!
"Kouta, what is this?"
"Like I said, it's a guide to show you how to make the Spirits feel positive and human," he said in a serious tone. "Trust me, it's useful." I sighed and looked at the title. Flower Petals...Shiori, My True Love?! The introduction scene popped up and showed me what to do. Like I said, I had mixed feelings about this. And I've been more nervous than ever before. I hope I don't screw this up.
Later, Tobiichi told me to meet him after school, so I did so and met up with him, feeling a little nervous. After all, we both saw each other during a battle to the death.
"You saw me yesterday," he said.
"Yeah..." I muttered nervously.
"Forget you saw me. Forget what happened yesterday as well." I nodded. I wanted to, anyway. It wasn't the best experience.
"So, what about that guy?" I asked him. I knew he was a Spirit, but I wanted to ask Tobiichi to get his point of view.
"He's a Spirit," he answered. "Something I need to defeat as soon as possible."
I cleared my throat. "Are they really that evil?"
He nodded at me. "Those things were the cause of my parents' death five years ago."
That's the end of Chapter 3 *EDIT of 8/22/17: Or in this case, Episode 1*. How was it?
