Hey, guys. Sorry for the short chapter and the big pause in between. But after my school, I had some time left over and then, I went on a holiday. When I got back home, Graspop passed by and while it was highly awesome, the four hours of sleep wrecked my body. After that, I had to pass a weekend with my mom at the place where a show of horses was done. When I got back, my holiday job started and I have been doing nothing in the last two weeks but working there.

A fun job, colleagues are chill, I got some breaks and the time goes fast. But I'm tired and I don't always have time to write. And for those who are reading previous stories of me, you might know that I play the Division. A lot.

And Monday, the tenth of July, I reached level ninety fucking nine in the Dark Zone. Fuck me, it took me a lot of grinding and trying to get there but now, I finally have it. I will only have to go in DZ for either weekly assignments or with my second agent. But now we're done so most likely, I'll clear out the Division in the week and I'll write in the weekends. Or that was my intention. Ah, well, nothing you can do about it.

And not to piss the ones off who play it but I had the luck of finding a really great weapon. An Urban MDR. And I have three of them. No joke.

Gotta thank you all for the favorites, followers and reviews. You guys, I own you a lot.

But now, I'm back with a bigger chapter. Now, we'll feature another part of the story. One with a certain bunny and a Devil.

(Like I said before, Kerlongsj Orlejov is not a self-insertion. I named me after mine OC, not the other way around.)

Oh, I have a rec for you guys for darker stories. The writer is called tonbonkittybon and he got some pretty nice, original stories worked out. But he isn't that well known. If you guys could give his stories a chance that would be awesome.

Btw the lyrics in Flemish come from a song.

I don't know if I'll be turning more on my computer. There's a heatwave over Belgium and my room was a freezer in the winter. Now, it's more a sauna and my computer is much to blame for that. It's really hard to write in the heat. Just saying. So it might take a while. There would be a thunderstorm when I was writing this and I also got a group I wished I saw at Graspop.

Melechesh. They're good. Like real good.

Openings song. Afraid to shoot strangers (Sabaton or Iron Maiden, take your pick.)


Meanwhile in the Infinite Stratos universe.

A young man was sitting in an arm chair playing with a kid of twelve years old in his lap. The whole world was really crazy outside. You might not know it but the man was one of the powerful persons on the planet. Most of his peers or counter parts were never satisfied and always looking for more power and trying to become the greatest in the world. Which would never happen.

And they would never be happy or find something any good in the world;

'En ik zit hier tevreden met die kleine op mijn schoot. [And I'm sitting in here content with the little guy on my lap.]' He thought. Kerlongsj was never in this game for getting total demise on his enemies or getting more power. He just wanted to keep his soldiers safe.

The two were situated in a private office that was mostly a big room with only a desk but the room could fit a decent amount of people. Said office was at the highest floor or an unassuming apartment complex. Subtlety and stealth were his most preferred style. Even the man who possessed a monstrous amount of power in his body, this was the way he preferred it.

His argumentation was deeply embedded in the world but for most normal people and the group, being unknown was a better way of living. For the civilians, it simply meant that ignorance was bliss. As for the warriors in the group, it was safer. This wasn't the only building meant for the Hackers in the city. They had tunnels spread, connecting them and more buildings and places throughout the Benelux. It was their turf after all.

Which would be wrong or not entirely correct. Sure, the man was the end leader but not of all the Hackers or at least, their active leader. Both the Dutch as Luxemburg had their own de facto leader. They answered to him but Kerlongsj couldn't interfere with them and they couldn't with his.

Not that he really minded. Keeping himself busy with what he had, was more than enough.

There was friendly rivalry between them but they weren't stupid enough to let that get the better of them.

Kerlongsj sighed. Moments, where he could sit and play with his little brother, became fewer since he took the mantle as leader. Their group was always wary of an attack or war. Although the actual threats ended years ago.

But there were other problems with the rise of the Infinite Stratos. Millions of soldiers, PMC's and other fighters lost a job. For more countries in fact, those who could afford Infinite Stratos problems, these were wasted energy. Relics of the past, no clear use for them.

For Kerlongsj, those men meant loyal allies. Not all of them were fit as Hacker but they could find a place in his organization. He employed many soldiers for all kind of jobs. Most of his group was underground so the unemployed soldiers had posts he had to fill around the globe. He had his men on every corner on the globe.

In the underworld, they'd leave the Hackers in peace. None of the crime syndicates were stupid enough to mess with him. Kerlongsj could destroy them but he didn't bother. It went deeper and besides, if he did that, he would just do his enemies a favor.

After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

It would be hard to say that was the same monster who could and has threatened to murder out the entire Belgium government and their families if they would cause major pains for his group. At some point, being treated like a powerhouse was getting boring.

And that's why he liked Anaton, his band of friends and Chifuyu. They all treated him as a normal person. Or so far you could get it.

So that's why he got Anaton talking about silly things in his life.

Those were small things but Kerlongsj learned to appreciate those. Like shitting up his best friends (who went from his original gang to the soldiers he grew up with and knew him or those were teachers and still breathed) with snarky comments from his PMC or the deadpan comments of Chifuyu when the two could spend a few days together in secret. God, he loved those days. Especially because the two would screw each other all the time.

Time was something that didn't exist when they were on it. It were no two humans making love but more like monsters looking for warmth. But it was still considered cute.

Hearing a knock on the door, Kerlongsj turned to his younger brother. The kid jumped off the lap and the Flemish Devil spoke in a friendly tone. "Ja."

A young officer appeared. Karel Akizo, a Flemish Hacker but his roots laid back in Japan. His parents had moved here after the second World War. When Japan got the two nukes, his grandfather and grandmother decided to move.

The man saluted and Kerlongsj returned the gesture. "Sir, I think I've got some bad news." Anaton moved from the desk to sit at the end. This could get ugly and he didn't want to be at the end of his brother's wrath.

"What bad news?" Kerlongsj asked, his interest piqued. "Sir, the ISA has disappeared." Kerlongsj sat as a statue hearing the news, his mouth slight agape. "Can you repeat that? Because you just said that the ISA, the Infinite Stratos Academy, has disappeared. A school can't just disappear. They're not lying in the Bermuda Triangle."

The officer knew that those next few moments could very well make the difference in walking out the room and getting kicked across it. Kerlongsj was a nice boss but you don't want to piss him off. Deciding to let the evidence speak for him, the man showed him a picture from a well collected folder.

"Please take a look at this."

In the middle of the city was a giant artificial lake. Normally, there would be a giant artificial island on that lake. That was where the ISA should be and has been two days ago. Kerlongsj raised an eyebrow. This was stupid. An island the size of the ISA which stood as heavy political meaning does not just disappear overnight. No one would be stupid enough and no one would benefit from this.

The school was too valuable. It was a chess board where every big player would bring his or her best pieces. Russia had a new found alliance with Japan but the weight of three EU countries made that shift. Four if you count in Belgium.

Every country or organization had at least one soldier, the Hackers being the exception officially.

While it wasn't known, Kerlongsj was now one of the biggest players with Mattheus, a freaking MALE pilot. Mattheus was a good soldier, man and Kerlongsj found his mindset interesting. He would be a huge loss even if the man was one of his private soldiers. Mattheus and Ichika had a lot of weight on them, even if they didn't know that.

The Hacker Devil and Hell boy didn't know what to make of the man's story. If the ISA disappeared like what happened here, that carried some benefits for the Hackers. The pressure of this would cause most of the world to stop their idiotic arms race and it would take pressure from his group. Kerlongsj shook his head and turned to his soldier.

"Okay, I get what you mean. What's the story?" The man shrugged and a helpless expression on his face. "Sir. Permission to speak freely." Kerlongsj nodded but the soldier needed to hear it. "Granted."

The man's mouth felt uncomfortably dry. "As you might know, our organization is the largest and biggest threat against the IS. While we do have our allies and our men, no one would think we aren't behind this. Due to us having lost any contact in the city, the men are a bit wary. It's all over the news since this morning. I don't know what to say about this but this can be very bad for us. It has its benefits of the school gone but they can start looking at us."

An involuntary shudder came over Kerlongsj. Since most of the world's governments were made of women and some had real radical and stupid ideas, this could get dangerous. He wasn't chauvinistic but he has seen the idiot things that happened.

They even turned on debates of women and laughed their heads off.

Kerlongsj would never say men were that much better and that was the reason why women were slowly getting in his world. In fact, there was more equality in his ranks than in most countries post to the Infinite Stratos. And even the women in his cause found the behavior of others stupid. Common sense was the most important thing in his faction. Kerlongsj pressed on a button under his desk and just in a few minutes, twenty of his most trusted generals entered.

He stood up and Anaton looked to his brother in a bit of awe. One day, he'll be doing that. "Everyone, I don't think I have to tell you why I called you all here. I'm sorry but we have to anticipate that outside, it will escalate. With the ISA gone, we're in for troubled times. I want those responsible for our agents in the field to put them on hold for now. I want to assemble a group of younger hackers who besides Hacker skill have other good abilities like sneaking in. I want a list of the five hundred soldiers. Don't just look to hacking skills, what else they can do in conventional warfare, healing or infiltrating will be high on my list." Seven of his generals left.

"The rest of you have to call our soldiers and all our allies. We have nothing to do with the ISA but I guess that our words means jackass. We got no clue but all of us know we're in for a storm. Our group isn't hurt by the ISA but like it or not, we're involved in this somehow while every piece of evidence might say otherwise."

One general stepped forward. One of the younger guys, one of Kerlongsj own generation. Unlike most of the younger officers, this guy got his position earned. In fact, Kerlongsj forbade that kind of thing. No general son was allowed to go out from his dad wings to get that spot.

That prevented Kerlongsj from making Anaton the legal heir of his group but it also prevented incompetent idiots to rise through the ranks. His soldiers were highly trained warriors and unlike most other countries, Kerlongsj found losing them a terrible loss. No country was allowed to take his soldiers.

He would either send out a task force to save their lives even if that hurt diplomatic relationships or he would save them himself. That truth went out for his own private soldiers who every high general had collected.

Those soldiers were handpicked by the higher officers and served as a private army. That had the chilling effect that Kerlongsj had no right to give them orders but it prevented him from going in a dictator.

Besides that, quantity always beat quality. Even if that was against every principle Kerlongsj had.

The general saluted and opened his mouth. "Sir, permission to speak?" Kerlongsj looked at the man. Neatly dressed, his hair combed. Clearly one of the younger guys. Appearance would mean jackass shit to most older hackers. As long you did your job, Kerlongsj never asked for more.

"Granted. What's on your mind?"

"If we aren't involved in that and we can prove that, wouldn't your counter measures do more wrong than good? It does set us severely back and it will take a long time before we get over that." Kerlongsj's hands crossed for his mouth, his thumbs stroking his chin.

The eyes measuring the man. "Yes, that might be true. And in fact, you're right. If we can prove that we have nothing to do with that, the USA, Russia, China, and Japan would leave us be. But the truth is more complicated. You think that those idiot women in the governments will even bother listening to us. They won't. They'll just assume that I am responsible for this. Half of the stuff that is spread about me is slander and lies. But the other half of shit that I can pull is the truth. I can let the ISA disappear. But not one night and why would I even do that? I don't want a war. No one in this room does. But the idiot women in the governments won't listen to us. Even if the women of our factions or our allies know we have nothing to do with that but tell that to them. Do you think it will work?"

The man shook his head, ashamed from his actions.

"Look, I get your point. And truth be told, I can follow it. But talking isn't going to solve it. I want us to draw back and wait until they talk to us. Me just telling I am not responsible is as good as putting myself in prison. Let them come after us and then we'll see what trick we will pull. But we're not provoking them. Understood?"

The man nodded. "Yes sir. My apologies." Kerlongsj waved his hand. "Not a problem. But let's continue." The man joined the ranks and Kerlongsj looked at the men. Those were brave soldiers who would give their lives to their soldiers just as their soldiers would do for them. Kerlongsj knew that. But this was asking more than a sacrifice.

"I have let it shine through but we will have to wait and see what will happen. So our missions are on hold and I will let you guys lay low for the time being. Nothing out of the extraordinary. I want to have our ears open and our guys searching for clues when the public start talking about us. We'll have to wait but I suppose you can all find a purpose. That's all. Dismissed."

The remaining generals left. Keeping a secret organization isn't doable. There will be something that people will notice. Just small things. 98% of the public wouldn't think anything of it. It would take one smart guy to figure it out.

If Kerlongsj would come across that person, it became clear why he was called Devil. You either take the position. Kerlongsj would never let potential go to waste or you died. Simple as that.

The soldier who brought the news was left behind. Kerlongsj didn't ask him to leave so he had to stay. The man had no idea what his leader wanted from him.

Luckily, it didn't take long before Kerlongsj turned to him. "You're Jozek Janousek right?"

The soldier nodded. It wasn't clear if he would live or die. Kerlongsj could be really nasty when he was angry. "I compliment you for your courage for coming to me with such news. Hereby, I'd like to assign you to a task. You're activated, just two years ago." Jozek nodded.

"I want you in charge of the task force as soon as I get a list of the soldiers. I'd like to make different squads for those soldiers based on their abilities. I also want you to have command of those men. Think you're up for the job?"

The brown haired man gulped audibly. Sure, he did this kind of thing as schooler but that was different and for groups a lot smaller than this. Due to his mindset, he was a bit younger than most others and his laid back, friendly attitude, made him popular in the men.

Kerlongsj noticed the changes in the man. "I read your files. And if you wonder why I would ask a young and inexperienced guy like you instead of an older man, it's simple. I want to know out of what kind of wood you're cut. So that's why I want you for this. So far, I think you'll be doing a great job. You can deny if you want or choose later."

Jozek shook his head. "No. I accept. I won't let you down sir." Kerlongsj smiled.

"Go see my crew for the practical details of this. Dismissed." The man saluted and left the room. Not knowing what he had to expect.

Anaton was surprised but hid his emotions. He could be a diplomatic disaster at some points. He would have the guts to flip off anyone who pissed him off, even if that was the Queen of England. Hate to break it to you but Britannia no longer rules the waves. Europe is a bit stronger on the continent. Up yours idiots.

But the kid was smart as well. He knew a lot of facts and he could deliberately trick people three times his own age. Kerlongsj honestly didn't bother. Anaton was his single and only heir so far and the kid had to learn the business. End of the line. And what better way to learn than sitting next to him?

He trusted that Anaton would be smart enough to know when to shut up. He wouldn't call out the Queen if she looked at him in disdain, frankly, every male was used to those looks. But if that woman would insult his group, his men or his brother, you'd have the biggest shame of the twenty first century.

But when Kerlongsj called his generals and assigned Jozek to the mission, he had been silent. He had the right idea to shut up. Kerlongsj wouldn't allow it. But right now, he'd speak.

"Kengi, don't take this the wrong way. But why would you need to make another task force and set an average guy like Janousek for the job?" Kerlongsj ruffled through the hair of the boy.

"Simple. I want guys that aren't soldiers yet but has skills to make up for it. If what I think is going to happen, is going to happen, I'll need schoolers. And a guy like him would make a great fit for it." Kerlongsj seated and smiled.

Anaton climbed on the desk. "When the dust will settle, it's going to be very likely that those idiot women on the top will have to let look up for what happened. I'm not going to be allowed to take soldiers that are already earned the name to follow me. So when I just handpick guys from all different places"

"They won't notice the difference. You're one hell of a guy." Anaton finished. Kerlongsj might be laid back but he could be really wicked when he tried. Anaton mimicked the smile on his face that couldn't be described other than Devilish.

Kerlongsj stretched out, feeling the pops going back in his body. "But what are you going to do now? Aren't you worried about Chifuyu or Mattheus?" The man shrugged. Sure he was worried about them but at this point, he couldn't do anything on that.

If no one of his had any idea what in the world happened, it could prove the theory he had of different universes who are yet similar. But he had bigger issues right now.

The Flemish Devil looked outside and suddenly, the twenty four years old male felt tired. Hours had passed and night had fallen over the city. A loud yawn passed him and as usual, Anaton didn't bother covering his mouth. "I'm going to bed, Kengi. Slaapwel. (Good night.)" Anaton left the room after looking one time over his shoulder.

Kerlongsj walked to him and made a cross over the forehead of the boy. After that, the boy closed to the door. He was worried about Chifuyu Kerlongsj hid that well but he couldn't show that. Kerlongsj then walked to the window, looking at the moon. It has been long enough since this all happened.

The sky he could look so bright without worry was gone. But his sight began to cloud and slowly, tears fell down his cheeks from his rugged, handsome face. Why?

Wasn't it enough? Would he have to lose everything again? He suddenly felt a beep on his chest. Taking out his private phone, he frowned. There weren't many persons who knew his number. And some of them who knew where gone.

He answered and put his ear to the machine. "Hello, Kerlongsj. I do suppose you know why I am calling?" The voice of an elderly man spoke. The Flemish Devil had a good idea to who he was speaking.

"I gotta admit, you work fast. As I expect. Not tonight, it's been hectic. Tomorrow, I take I'll know where I should go."

Back to the Masou Gakuen HxH universe.

Ichika flew towards the machine, his sword ready in his hands. After attacking the giant robot with his Yukihira, the Brigade fell back but not destroyed entirely. Luckily, that wasn't the Knights intention.

An anti-material sniper bullet tore through the sky, destroying the robot.

Making a nod to the sniper who was pretty far away, Ichika made the nod. It has been a good week since the two males were assigned to the great team Amaterasu. A decision made over their heads and neither two of the males were really happy with it.

Flashback.

Ichika and seven girls, Houki, Rin, Laura, Charlotte, Cecilia, Kanzashi and Tatenashi were standing in front of Reiri. Chifuyu was just next to her counterpart while Mattheus had chosen to stand against a wall. Joel right next to him.

Ever since that Reiri met Chifuyu, those two women really conflicted at every possible spot. Things weren't that much better on the soldier levels. Maya's clumsy nature really shone through next to Kei. Never before felt Maya left out being down by the assistant ideas. And for the kids, well.

Aine was distant towards her teammates. And if you weren't important to her, well. The girls didn't like that. You could do the math to the IS pilots. As for Yurishia, Cecilia and Charlotte really felt outclassed and her soft, older sister nature clashed with those girls. While they were off the same age, Yurishia couldn't help but act as an oneesan. And that was fine with younger ones but not with persons of your age.

Luckily, Hayuru's strict, Tsundere personality matched with Houki and Rin. And Tatenashi couldn't help but tease the girls. Which gave the necessary attacks. Which was why Kizuna hated it but avoided his female teammates when they clashed.

Women were nice to hang around but they could be so very difficult. Men on the other hand were a lot simpler. Due to the two were shunned by the entire population, Kizuna attached to Ichika and Mattheus. Being around beauties and doing lecherous stuff to them as that's a mission is all fun and good (which was fun, Kizuna wouldn't deny that. He didn't like the Heart Hybrid that much but he had some fun out of it.) but sometimes you want some bro time.

Ichika had gotten that message soon enough so he offered his counterpart a hand. And that said counterpart, Kizuna, returned the favor more than enough. Mattheus was often out alone with either Joel or at Natasha. Because she became a teacher here, the rules were a bit more strict so every place the two could naked, they'd take care of stress.

And he was actually doing those two groups a favor by forcing them to get along without him being judge. So far, that only worked for Ichika and Kizuna. But that wasn't the reason they were gathered here. The Hunter looked up from his spot. Reiri glared at him causing him to roll his eyes. In all regards, Chifuyu was a hell of a lot scarier than Reiri.

"Adjzof. Could you come here?"

The Hunter looked first at Reiri and then slowly walked to her. "Okay, Orimura, Adjzof. I have news for you. I talked with Orimura-sensei and from this point, you two are a part of Amaterasu." That caused a bunch of different reactions. Kizuna looked relieved or happy for that part. Those were reasons some just couldn't understand. Or you had to be in his shoes. Ichika noticed the grin on the Eros pilot face and he felt like he really could relate.

Aine was hiding her anger pretty well. Even for her, it was noticeable that Ichika and Kizuna often hung out with each other. Because the Devil Knight had come from a school filled with girls (who were rapidly rising through the ranks of popularity), he pretty much earned the ire from the entire study body.

The reason why Ichika and Kizuna were getting less angry girls or furious guys was because it was pretty stupid to mess with buddies from Mattheus. The twenty year old was more a freeloader who spent a lot of his time looking around and training. He did hang around with the guys in lunch and breaks.

When a bunch of so called tough guys went to beat up Ichika and Kizuna, they truly learned what is to feel pain.

As for the other two, Yurishia was mildly surprised and Hayuru was now blushing. Yurishia didn't really mind more teammates. As long they weren't girl who could take Kizuna's attention, the American ace had no problem with that. And she had Ichika shooed off so she could hang out with Kizuna.

Hayuru had the indecent idea that either Ichika and Mattheus would get a Heart Hybrid or join in the action. So who had the dirty mind here?

Ichika had a similar reaction to Kizuna. He really didn't mind the time spent with him but he was surprised that he and Mattheus were told to join the ranks. They weren't the strongest members. Okay, in a team, they were nearly invincible but still. That asides, he had a pretty good idea what Kizuna went through only on different levels.

Mattheus just shrugged it off. It was just another weird thing that happened in their lives. He has learned to deal with it. For Hayuru, the reaction of the two were enough to cause a scene and calling it shameless while Mattheus just found it stupid.

In fact, it was normal for guys to be a bit perverted to some degree. If that wasn't the case, mankind wouldn't be existing. As long, you weren't publically vulgar, Mattheus didn't mind. Okay, the idea of Heart Hybrid was perverted but for the Hunter, it was something that had to happen if they wanted to have their powers.

As for the Infinite Stratos girls, they were genuinely shocked. Mattheus was all too happy that Natasha wasn't around. the Silver Gospel was now more a battle teacher in service for the remaining IS pilots.

Ichika was puzzled. "Hah?"

While he was blown away, Mattheus crossed his arms. "Eh, why are we assigned?" Mattheus asked. As most often, he was the first to speak and recover. "Wouldn't it make sense to send pilots like Tatenashi, Charlotte or Laura to this task force? Me and Ichika aren't really that great."

Reiri sighed, she was expecting that answer. "Because, Adjzof, you and Orimura both have a ridiculously high power weapon to use. So that's why you two were chosen. But don't worry, you seven girls are going to become a second task force. After Orimura-sensei is done the training you. As the situation stands now, you seven are stronger and have a better ability to pilot the Infinite Stratos but lack the raw power both men have. So for now, training will the only thing you girls will do. You aren't combat ready yet."

In the first time, in basically ten years, someone told these girls that they had to stand aside for a boy. It was shocking to the point of laughable.

They couldn't be weaker, right? They just couldn't be weaker than a man. It would be stupid to explain that those guys who had the extreme (dis)fortune to pilot the Infinite Stratos were assigned to fight while they were told to stay put.

"Before you brats go out of control, too bad." Chifuyu spoke, her voice leaving no room for arguments. "It's decided this way so bear with it. And while it is true, you two are better pilots than those two morons."

"HEY." Mattheus shouted. Chifuyu didn't bother replying and went on like he didn't shout. "Like Hida pointed out, they have better weapons to make up for the job. So deal with it." Mattheus exchanged a look with Ichika. Their opinion was never asked.

Ever since the Silver Gospel, they got their orders and be done with it. So that's the story how those two males were assigned, on the condition that Kizuna didn't have to jerk them off for power ups.

End flashback.

"The fleet is not allowed to reach Ataraxia. Make sure they're stopped before we're in their fire line."

Yurishia sighed. "Good grief. You make it sound so easy." The Ace fired her guns, rapidly killing a lot of the robots and even some smaller ships. Mattheus was alone, moving positions so the enemy canons had to keep guessing where he was hanging out.

Much like a modern sniper. While he did appreciate the heavy fire power that Yurishia offered so he could do his job, firing multiple firearms at once wasn't very elegant. Hey, for a sniper like him, that was as much the truth.

Still, a smirk got on his face. Cecilia, Charlotte, Laura and on times, Kanzashi filled in the role as gunners in their attacks, making close range works easier for Ichika, Houki, Rin and Tatenashi. Mattheus filled in the role as extra firepower or just real powerhouse.

Yurishia was hoping on more. Even when they all saw what happened, she like what Kizuna did to her. And she would admit she wanted more. A lot more.

The offhand comment really made his day.

The good part on fighting machines was that he didn't have to be that precise. Sure, he had to aim his rifle but turning your sights on fifteen meter robot or a 1,5 meter human from the same distance was a big difference.

The iron sights were tweaked to work out like this. Unlike Blue Pierce, Chasseur more resembled a Mosin-Nagant M28/30. Due to the heavy power and allowing more precise shots, his bolt action mechanism had a lot more pros than cons.

Pulling the bolt straight, his bullets made their way. Ichika and Mattheus also had a better idea. Why take a hit when you can avoid it?

Hayuru cut through the machines like they were made of tissue paper. Her machine made quick works of the Brigands around on the battlefield and with Ichika around, she had someone watching her back.

Aine on the other hand used her bare hands to rip the robots apart. But for some reason when looking at her active squad mates, she felt that she wasn't doing enough. Even Ichika and Mattheus, both outgunned compared to her where making more kills due to the usage of a sword or a rifle.

It ate her, she was stronger but still. She was distracted by the bullets and tried to defend herself.

"Don't focus on the Magitech weapons!" Reiri shouted. Chifuyu was behind her counterpart, a bit surprised. Even in their world, it was clear that Heart Hybrid were much more a working fire horse to fight those threats than the political grandstanding the Infinite Stratos had become.

It really worked on the ideas of female supremacy. Nothing really of that sort of thing matters when you're a corpse.

"Thirty kilometers until we're in within enemy battleship range." Okay, time was of the essence. Kizuna looked at the fight. This was something annoying. He was the captain of Amaterasu but he was forced to stay there. And even Ichika and Mattheus complete strangers were shown to be more skilled in battle than he was.

"Yo, you wanna be in my place?" Mattheus shouted through his mic. "I'm trying to find a weak spot in their ships but so far, nothing. Those minions might be annoying but as long they're sticking around, we can't really do a thing on the attack of the main ship."

He was trained to take down higher threats, hence the reason why he was good enough to fight the seven girls at the school from time to time but he knew this was something they just couldn't win. They had to break up the attack with just five of them.

That was something you couldn't do alone. 'God, I wish captain was here.'

Aine attacked the remaining troops and charged in recklessly to end the ship. "I'm number one." She looked up and saw something else. Like last time, a Dragorie had shown up.

Okay, this was getting from bad to really fucked up way too fast. In the back, they had their own issues. "Aine's Hybrid Count is falling faster than usual." For Kizuna, that meant really bad news. Especially with what they told him, recently.

Turns out that the Heart Hybrid was great on fighting those machines that the series ate away the life energy of their users. When it reached zero, it was the end of the story. That was the main reason he was called here. He could recharge the weapons. Okay, the means were lewd but there was no alternative. He, Reiri, Amaterasu. They were all caught up in this.

The great machine their mother made, nothing more than just a draining of life.

He hadn't told anyone. No one. He couldn't be thinking about it. The machine was made to defend them but for their mother, the pilots were nothing more than lives she could throw away.

He looked to the fight and noticed Aine getting closer and fighting.

"Chidorigafuchi, you're going too far!" Ignoring her captain's pleads, she raced to the machine. Colliding, caused to kill it but here energy went further down.

Her team mates looked to her in a form of awe and shock. Awe in the way she defeated it. Shock on how she attacked it. Mattheus had caught up with Ichika and the two looked to the girl.

"We need to ignore the troops. Ichika, Himekawa, you draw the main ship's attention. When we see an opening, me and Farandole will hit with everything we got."

"That will take too long. I'll race to the ship and take it out." Mattheus looked to her from afar. She had already carried out her plan.

"Oh, fuck." The Hunter muttered. "Really, a stubborn girl." Like Mattheus, Yurishia wasn't too happy. She used her extra power, Mattheus heard it was her Differential Frame's energy a hundred percent as propelling force.

"We're coming after you guys." Hayuru nodded to Ichika and the two went after the blonde female. Mattheus was soon to follow.

They were just in time to see Yurishia making her way to attack the ship. Mattheus aimed his rifle, not knowing where to hit. Hoping he would catch a fuel tank.

They didn't have the time.

Their enemy made a flash, causing them to spread out. The Life Saver of the three HHG pilots and the shield points of Ichika and Mattheus protected them but still, it wasn't something they could avoid completely.

It took a lot on them, especially on Mattheus who had traded power for speed a long time ago. "We need to fall back." He muttered.

"If we stay here, they can start burying our graves." Aine shook her head.

"You think you can do that? We got a mission. We need to destroy it."

"Chidorigafuchi, your count is under ten percent. You need to fall back. Adjzof is right." Aine scoffed on it.

She didn't care. 'Just, a little more.' The canons went back for them. "We're in their reach."

Ah, shite.

Aine went flying to the ship, she had to end this. She just couldn't stand by. She was the best in this.

Kizuna decided enough was enough.

'Just wait, Chidorigafuchi.' He thought. He had seen enough. His friends fought to protect this place. Right now, it was his turn.

"Eros!"

The suit was made around his body.

'I'm nearly there. But my energy.' None of her squad had joined her in this suicide attempt and she fell out.

Back on the base, Mattheus walked to Joel. The young punk shook his head. This wasn't good and the sleeper agent found it more difficult to stand. This wasn't good. He and his newfound squad mates would have a hard time-fighting.

The world around her was black. She had no clue on what the hell happened.

She couldn't get where she was or what happened to her.

A light came out. She was out of her pilot suit and into her normal uniform. Besides that light, she saw someone. The back of a woman.

A woman with long black hair, wearing a lab coat.

Her mind wondered where to go. The person disappeared but a voice came through. A voice that was familiar to her.

"Chidorigafuchi. Wake up. Chidorigafuchi!" In her bury vision, she looked in blue eyes, filled with worry which would make place for relief.

"Hida-kun…"

"Thank goodness." Kizuna spoke, not hiding his emotions. "You've woken up."

"Where am I?" The room was white and seemed pure. "This is the adjustment room of Nayuta Lab. You were shot down and fell into the sea. You were safe from being hit directly by the escort ship. You really were lucky."

Her pilot suit was torn to shreds and she couldn't get up.

"Please lie down. You're not going to move any time soon." Resigning herself, she ignored the pain. "What's the situation right now?"

The enemy fleet has advanced until five kilos from Ataraxia. Right now their bombardment is stopping, but in its place magic weapons' descending unit is landing down."

"The bombardment stopped? Why would they?"

Kizuna sighed. "Your guess is as good as mine. We don't know. Yurishia, Himekawa, Mattheus and Ichika got back. Our strategy went out like a fire."

"I have to go back soon."

Aine could stand up but her knees didn't really agree with that. "You have to wait." Kizuna helped her up and shook his head.

"Listen Chidorigafuchi, you can't go back. Not when you're like this."

Showing the device gotten from his sis, he answered her question. She got the message. Her count was below five percent. She couldn't even deploy it, nor move easily.

She stumbled to the exit where Kizuna blocked her.

"Move aside."

Her words made it clear she wanted to go and that she would fight trying to get out.

"There is no way I'm going to let someone who is trying to go to her death go."

She began to stare at him. Normally, his eyes weren't like this. Not this serious, not this mature.

"I.." Aine made a pause in her speaking. Her voice waiting for her mind to speak.

"I don't have anything else other than Heart Hybrid Gear! I cannot forgive myself that I'm inferior to anybody else in Heart Hybrid Gear. And you're telling me that I can't fight. I can't even equip my gear."

Her next sentence would have shocked him but given what he heard of her, he wasn't that surprised. He walked in her shoes, in another life.

"That means I'm worthless, right? There is no reason for me to exist!"

A tear ran down from her face but her face got her right after that.

"That just enough for me to tell I have no reason to live."

"Chidorigafuchi.." Lost for words, Kizuna had no clue what to say.

"Inside me, there is nothing. Nothing at all. I don't know who I am or where I came from. Name, family, home, I don't remember anything at all." And for a human, that's the worst kind of thing.

Aine was staring at Kizuna's expression, but she got the message. The question was suspiciously asked.

"You aren't surprised. By any chance, did you already know?"

He nodded.

"Yeah, I knew it only just before this."

"Is that so… then the talk will be quick. I was taken into this lab. After that, I became Professor Nayuta's guinea pig all this time and helped with the research."

Kizuna's heart felt a stinging prick, the idea of what his mother was, he got the idea what kind of life she must have lead.

"Apart from that I know nothing about my past. Apart from that I was only being used as a guinea pig here without thinking about the future. That's my everything."

"I understand that you are amnesic, and also that you were raised in a unique environment. But, isn't it okay if you just make new memories. Things like your favorite food, new hobby, even friends."

"Even if I have an interest in anything, my true… my past self, did she have an interest in something like that? I will start thinking like that, it made me unable to have an interest in anything. When the test for real battle began and I attended high school, it became excessively hard."

"Just why, isn't it fine if you just talk normally and get along well with your classmates?"

"It's scary to come into contact with other people. Because in the lab, I didn't talk with anyone there. I cannot do something like talking properly with other people." For Kizuna, he even walked in her shoes, he got her ideas.

Kizuna recalled Aine's wicked tongue.

So that was actually the materialization of this girl's desperation.

Or else, that was a shield to protect herself from fear. Possibly it might be a camouflage to hide her heart. He guessed that most likely, even she herself wasn't aware of it.

"But you see, even for me there is one single thing, something that became my place to belong."

Raising her arm, she showed him. "Heart Hybrid Gear."

Aine nodded.

"Yes. When I become strong, Professor Nayuta praised me. She was happy for me. At that time, I was the only one who could use Heart Hybrid Gear. Saying it in reverse, I couldn't do anything other than that. Using Heart Hybrid Gear more skillful than anyone, stronger than anyone. That was me. But I couldn't defeat the enemy at all! Hayuru has shot down two hundred enemies, Yurishia is in three hundreds, I only shot down thirty enemies until now!"

She told the stats.

"At that time I remembered. In the past, Professor Nayuta talked to me. There is an amazing weapon called the Corruption Armament sleeping inside me, she said. When the Hybrid Count passes the limits, there is the possibility that it will materialize."

"Mom told you that?" Kizuna asked.

"If I can obtain the Corruption Armament, I will make it somehow. But, how can I make my Hybrid Count that just keeps decreasing to go further than the full charge? As I thought it might be impossible, when I thought like that, you appeared."

Aine pointed at Kizuna.

"You, Hida Kizuna. The Man who can break the limits on the Hybrid Count. I was happy. I was filled with hope, the world looked different all of a sudden. I felt like you are the prince that Professor Nayuta created for me."

'Prince.' For Kizuna, that wasn't that good to hear. His mum threw him away like a piece of filth, no use for him anymore. But that wasn't all.

He couldn't see that at all from her attitude until now.

"That's why I wanted you to fall for me. But I had no idea what I should have done. I looked up the database for information. I read magazines and books that said what boys liked. And still."

'Ah, that would explain her behavior from why she acted like that when I got here.' Kizuna thought but he kept that to herself.

"I still couldn't do it. I still didn't get my Immoral Weapon. From the beginning I don't have any worth for living."

To give her words power, a vibration like an earthquake shook the floor.

Aine made a deprecating smile towards herself.

"Either way, this Ataraxia too will end from taking on that large battleship as an opponent. Because of my fault, everyone will die."

"Okay, that's it!" With more force than most would have, Kizuna spoke up.

"What?" Aine didn't see that coming from the guy who was normally calm or fidgeting.

"Worthless? Useless?" She frowned at him.

"You're just worried that nobody is telling you how great you are!" Turning her face, she could give Hayuru a run for Tsundere.

"Don't act like you know anything." But Kizuna did know what she was talking about.

"So what if you can't beat someone? So what if some are better than you? And what's with you saying only thirty enemies? I'm still at zero enemies here, total zero! Ain't you super skilled already shooting down that many enemies! Also just because I cannot do Heart Hybrid that well, don't make it all as my fault! Even I am not that used to girls. If I get approached by a transcendent beauty like you, there is no way I'm going to understand just what the hell I should do, you know! Understand my feelings too! I'm not that great either. And still."

"What, so you are now proud that you're a good-for-nothing! It's fine if you just laid your hands on me! Someone like me, doesn't have any great worth, in the first place I'm a human that didn't exist!"

"Stop shitting me! You are beautiful, your style is great, your status is absurdly high."

Aine's cheeks were dyed red in a flash.

"Thi, things like those cannot defeat the enemy!"

"Who cares-! Besides, something like your worth of living, or your usefulness, that' not something that you should talk like you know anything about it. Aren't you just treasuring yourself? You just think that you are the best and get insecure when no one fusses over you! You are just unable to accept the gap between your ideal self and the real you! Just because there are those you cannot win against, that there are people even more superior than yourself, you abused yourself and got sulky, isn't that what this is about!"

Aine's expression changed from bewilderment to fury.

"Don't talk like you know anything!"

Light ran through Aine's Zeros. The thruster on her elbow was shining.

Listen well! Even if you think that you don't have any talent, that you are not a big deal at all, then what you have to do is think about what you who is like that can do. What should you do so that even your power can be useful? Make your way of thinking like that. If you do that, then there will be no one in this world whose existence is unnecessary!"

But for Aine, those words didn't seem to matter. She didn't want to hear it, she didn't want to.

Aine pulled back her fist. It was a stance where she could pierce through Kizuna's body anytime.

Aine's arms headed to Kizuna in an attack.

Tremendous wind pressure struck Kizuna's face. Wind was rolled up and raised the dust of the floor whirling.

Aine's fist stopped a centimeter in front of Kizuna's nose's tip.

He stood there, not fazed by the attack. Like he knew that Aine wouldn't hit him. She dissolved the machine.

Aine made a voice from biting her back teeth.

"Why didn't you dodge!? At least deploy your Life Saver! Idiot!"

Kizuna laughed powerlessly.

"You're right but." An excuse he didn't have but maybe, Aine would come to understand him.

She took his device. "You can't believe how hard they hit me. And they did harder than I thought they would."

The awkward laugh really did for Aine as began to hit Kizuna's chest.

It wasn't meant as punishment but more showing him how foolish he was.

"You! Idiot, idiot, incompetent, fool, useless! Even though you are a weakling! Even though you are powerless! At least evade something like a mere bullet!"

She was hitting Kizuna's chest while crying.

"Why, for the sake of me who cannot fight anymore, you did something like that-"

Kizuna gently held down the shoulders of Aine who was like that.

Aine pressed her head onto Kizuna's chest, she stifled her voice and cried.

"Even though, I, cannot do anything other than dying"

Shining tears spilled down from Aine's eyes.

"Some time ago, I helped my mom with her research." She looked up from him, her eyes now showing an emotion. Like he didn't know of her past, she didn't know of his.

"But somebody who was better for the research appeared and I was thrown out."

Aine herself reminded the past. When she was crying.

"Then, the boy at that time since that time, I didn't see him for the second time."

"So you remember."

Kizuna smiled.

"I didn't know anything but the experiments but my mom threw me away. And when I went to the Tokyo fleet, things weren't that great either. Much like you, I couldn't talk to anyone.

Aine was shocked and her eyes opened wide.

Kizuna recalled the words of the person who made him stand back up.

{Kizuna. The worth of a human is not based on the height or depth of their ability. It's a problem of how they live.}. His sister told him that and he reminded how she looked after him when she was a high schooler. It was a different uniform than what most carried in Ataraxia. It was more old school.

He told her the words that Reiri told him. And more than once, they helped him.

Caressing her face like she did his, she got along.

"But I don't understand, how I should live."

"I'll give you advice. We can start anew, every time. I'll help you out on that. it's true you don't how to live. But that goes both ways. You and I are going to look for an answer, agreed."

The look in her eyes was new, a small smile had found its way to her face.

"Chidorigafuchi?"

"Kizuna, um… Could you do the Heart Hybrid with me? Please. It's embarrassing yes but you, that changes things. Take, responsibility okay?"

Aine looked up at Kizuna with reproachful eyes.

Kizuna faltered a little, but he soon smiled wryly.

"Roger."

He pushed her down, back on the bed. Softly, he caressed her face and body. He wanted to make things as pleasurable for him as for himself. You could call it perversion but he was a guy. He wanted to be sure to remember this.

While she was well trained and carried muscles, there was a certain line of a female appeal on her body. He poked on her belly button, causing her to roll her head back

"Please don't toy with my body." Going over her thighs, he gently felt her body. Her moans became louder and their breaths synchronized.

Her shirt nearly constrained her breasts who were all too eager to pop out. The color of her eyes changed. From pink, they went to blue.

Most guys would relish in this chance of pleasuring a girl like Aine.

For Kizuna, he just hoped he did it well. "Does it hurt?" His question came after he gently touched her well-formed tits.

"It feels good." His own eyes had changed to pink.

"You're so cute." He said after he strongly touched her left tit. That was the edge he was hoping for and Aine went off.

That instant, blue light surged out from Aine's body. The light entangled with the pink light that was emitted from Kizuna's body, becoming a single flow, it was enveloping the bodies of the two as if in caring of the two of them.

Inside the glittering light, they tasted an indescribable tranquil.

Heart Hybrid succeeded.

Both were out of breath, Kizuna having a bigger blush on his face than she did. Aine merely had to catch her breath.

"It worked, Aine."

The girl opened her eyes and the blue came back. "Kizuna, I want more. You're the same right."

Straddling him, she stood over him, her ass poking in the sky. Poor guy couldn't see it.

His face was looking in Aine's whose eyes were filled with the lust of doing more.

"Kizuna, my body feels hot. Hurry up and take responsibility."

"What's gotten into you, Aine?" Okay, he wasn't expecting it. He was happy it panned out but this was something he wasn't prepared for.

A screen popped and Kei appeared.

{Let me explain.}

Foiling his arms, Kizuna was surprised to see her.

"Shikina-san?"

Like she didn't care, she continued.

{That's Heart Hybrid's side effect. In the case that Heart Hybrid reaches a success, symptoms that are similar with an aphrodisiac can be seen from the girl partner. In addition to this intoxicated state, the girl's state will be in an exceedingly heightened sexual desire.}

Kizuna would have liked to know that before he put himself through this.

"That's a major pain."

She continued.

{But, by using that effect skillfully, you will be able to advance to an even higher stage.}

This time, Kizuna needed to ask more.

"Higher stage?"

Oh, god, that really had more meanings.

{Yes. For the sake of obtaining the Corruption Armament, a new Hybrid Heart.}

Aine swept the screen away and she still had the lust filled eyes on. She wanted to get it and she would get it.

"Aa! Oi, Aine, what are you"

He wanted to ask doing but her next action cut that off.

Aine's sword hand was thrust at Kizuna's neck.

"You're talking to another woman while you should actually pleasure me." Okay, this was getting pretty scary.

"No such thing at all, Aine. Right now I'm only looking at Aine."

Aine was staring at him fixedly with doubtful eyes, but her looks became lewd once more and she embraced Kizuna.

"I want proof."

Aine crawled her lips on Kizuna's nape of the neck.

She began to lick on his neck, turning the situation around.

Her heated breath and her wet and soft tongue were slowly crawling from Kizuna's earlobe until his collarbone slowly. It was something he had never experienced before, a ticklish sensation, his spine was shivering. And her cleavage pressed on his chest, making a very nice sensation but that would be beside the point.

"Aine"

However, Aine welcomed his fingers with her mouth. She put his index and middle fingers into her mouth and licked them around. Wet licking produced a strange lewdness. As if being possessed, Aine attentively sucked at the fingers. It was as if she was trying to squeeze out something.

On the other side of Aine that was sucking the fingers, her breasts were shaking in jiggles. With his left hand, Kizuna began to rub those breasts.

Playing with his fingers and he with her tongue, the two went on.

He caressed slowly, however this time he did it with more strength than before.

"Kizuna. It feels good Kizuna, again"

Unable to endure his desire, Kizuna shoved his fingers inside through the gap between the skin and the pilot suit.

His ministrations really went on for her.

"Aah, Kizuna." The guy was never that popular with the ladies and so, this was the first time he had ever touched a bare breast. The fact that he was directly touching breasts directly heightened Kizuna's excitement all the more. The moans of Aine became different more high pitched.

Tweaking her nipple, Aine let out a particularly loud moan and again, light emitted from their bodies, showering the two.

"HAUuAAAAAAAAAAN!"

But unlike last time, the light continued and due to the loud moan, Kizuna went out her breasts, giving Aine the room to push his face in to give her something to hold for the pleasure she felt.

He really liked it at some point. Buried in the valley of her soft, large breasts, his face was deep in them. With a sweet smell, they clung on his face.

As awesome this was, he couldn't breathe like this.

When he wanted to get out, it caused Aine to keep him even a tighter grip.

"Haa, haaan… do, don'tt… a, aa"

It seemed that Kizuna's squirming felt good that it made Aine raise a satisfied voice.

'No good, I'm going to get suffocate like this!'

Kizuna boldly opened his mouth. Kizuna's tongue touched Aine's breast, causing him to release him just long enough to catch a breath and pulling him back in. Light of heart mark was rising to the surface of Aine's eyes.

Once more, particles of light began to spring forth from the bodies of the two. However, it was an intense radiance that couldn't compare to everything before this.

Unable to endure, Aine's hands slackened and Kizuna escaped from the pleasurable hell that was her breasts.

That movement, however, caused her breasts to spill out and lewdly they bounced up and down before coming to their original position.

The tips were shining in the pink light, they were beautiful and lewd protrusions. Just now, he felt that protrusion's figure without seeing it and only confirmed the sensation using his fingertips. Inside the soft curved surface wrapped in mellowness, it was the only thing different that threw the harmony out of order. However, with the existence of that, the lewdness of the breasts was exceptionally increased.

His mouth still open, he had looked at them and in a trance, he rapidly went to her and sucked on one breast while squeezing the other.

"HAUaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN-!"

A loud moan escaped her while Kizuna didn't let her go.

Meanwhile, things weren't looking too good for the rest. While the remaining members continued the fight, it was clear they were being pushed back.

A Brigand ran into Yurishia but before he could strike her, she was saved by a well-placed shot of blue lasers.

That shot tuned out to be Aine, back in fighting form.

"Sorry to keep you four waiting."

The dissolved look was gone and the proud warrior had returned.

"Aine?" Yurishia and Mattheus asked.

"Aine-san?" Ichika and Hayuru were next.

"Are you okay?" Kizuna had also shown up."

"In the nick of time, pall. Things would have gone very differently without you two."

The silverette turned to the place, building was destroyed, fires were cracking. Not to speak about the casualties that the other students had put up.

"Now you've done it. For too long, you've done as you pleased. You're going to pay for this."

Aine turned back to the attackers. "Pulverizer"

Much like a portal, a weapon came out. It was easily longer than Aine with one side being a sword and the other a canon. Much like Zeros, it had the same white and gray color.

"Joel?" Mattheus went to his private earpiece. "Busy on it. But that thing will blow them away."

Mattheus wanted to ask Kizuna what the hell happened because that canon looked like it could give White Death a run for his money.

Oh, right. Chasseur was just one of the many weapons Mattheus had. While the rifle was easily the strongest weapon, the White Death really was one hell of a weapon.

Named after the deadliest human that ever walked their world, it was a long range blaster gun that could be set in different modes and that could blow apart an Infinite Stratos in pieces with a shot even when that came from 5 km away. The only drawback was that White Death was too big for Mattheus to handle alone. He needed Joel to fire the gun when the kid was positioned in the hunter's back.

Mattheus hadn't told anyone about it because the risk of Joel dying in battle was higher than in their world.

"What is that?"

"Zeros got a new weapon? But wait, how did she get it? What did you two do?" Yurishia and Hayuru were surprised although the Japanese girl quickly recovered. The only way this could happen was by something perverted

"Connect." Aine punched her fist in the machine. She then pulled the string ready to fire.

"Now, it's our turn. Charge."

Energy began to fill the weapon but more of the Albatross came to them.

The two other HHG pilots weren't ready for another brawl. "Mattheus and Ichika, however, fell in line, ready to play.

"Stand back, everyone. I'll buy her the time and show you all something." His machine changed to something else, namely to more blue that it was closer to Zeros.

"Mode Zeros." He reached the machines first and like Aine, he beat them to pieces.

The other four were in awe of Kizuna's newfound power. "That's Eros?"

"His power and speed are equal to Zeros?"

Pulverizer was done charging and Aine released the string shooting all the hostiles to pieces. They just were gone by the one shot.

"Enemy battle ship has disappeared from the radar." The seven Infinite Stratos girls had their mouths fallen open. Because it took too long they went out to see and were just in time to see what happened.

Joel was busy looking up Pulverizer so he didn't bother the sighed relieves.

On the fields, the guys wielding the guns were happy to hear the voice saying. [The enemy fleet has withdrawn beyond firing range. We've won."

Silvia jumped up and down. "Yay, yay." The British girl was happy it was over.

At the field, Aine's hair had changed from silver to pink before it went back to normal. The group landed and it didn't take long before the cheering from the soldiers were said. It seemed that Kizuna had earned some points in their book.

"ICHIKA!" Seven voices said before glamping him.

"Girls, you don't have to." They tackled Ichika to the ground happy that their Knight had returned. He however made a pained face of feeling seven bodies on his. Joel smiled and stood next to Chifuyu who like Reiri had joined the group. The glare was still pretty unhealthy.

"Hida-kun?" Kizuna turned to Himekawa. "How did Zeros get that weapon?"

"We got that weapon from our Climax Hybrid." Aine bluntly answered. There were a few good things. One. Ichika's harem was too busy to glop Ichika, they didn't bother and they weren't like Kizuna.

"Climax Hybrid? Does that mean?" Hayuru paused.

"Did you two do, do, e.. ecc .. ecchi stuff again?" She pointed an accusatory finger to Kizuna. He raised his hands defensibly.

"I only did that because of the mission." A giggle came from someone else.

"If you're so interested in ecchi?" Natasha stood to next to Mattheus. "Watch this."

She thoroughly began to kiss the guy who was all too eager to join in. She held his head and wrapped in her arms while he pressed on her back. It caused the girls to get attention (and a lot of blushes), Chifuyu and Reiri to glare at their junior and Joel just sighing. He knew of his brother's antics.

"Oh, dear, it doesn't get much crazier than this." Joel looked to the sky.

'But this place is good enough to keep fighting.'


And we're done. Dear god, that took longer than I hoped. And it turned out to have a higher word count than I hoped. I hope you did enjoy this fic. I'll be the first to admit, I took some things from the Light Novel but I'm not that great in writing erotic stuff. I can do it but I need a lot more on it. So that's why.

I'm going to do a mix on anime and Light Novel besides the mix of the Infinite Stratos. In the upcoming chapters, Ichika and Mattheus will play a bigger role in this story but this was heavily focussed on Aine and Kizuna. In canon and I couldn't get away from it. But when Vatlantis comes in this mix, my own guys will have their role to play.

I have decided not to place this fix solely in the HxH universe. There will be events in the IS universe. I don't know how long it will take next time but I do hope shorter than this.

But it turns out that in my absence, I got some more favs and follows. Thanks, guys but a review really keeps me going.

But before I sign off, I got a few things to say that I noticed when reading this Light Novel. I wasn't expecting it to be good or at least, better than I guessed. When I watched the show, I simply wanted to get my mind in the gutter (I'm a guy), I was surprised on the nice writing. Why I am putting this up.

Because this show knows what is and have no problem being one. It's an ecchi harem comedy series, way past the border of hentai but it tries to be more in a good way. It tells a well worked out story with decent character development.

Why am I putting this up? Because in the winter of 2016, I watched another show. A show that ripped out my heart and burned it in the fieriest pits of hell. I'm talking about RWBY.

Volume 3 really did some things I'm not over yet and Volume 4 just majorly disappointed me. They had one year to work something out and this is what we got.

Not much character development, not more plot worked out and nothing of the deaths of the character in Volume 3 helped.

If you developers want to learn how to write a story, learn from FanFiction. There are a ton of fics that put you 'professionals' to big shame.

I'm not referring to myself. I'm talking about guys who really have shown to be good at it. For the guys who are into it, I suppose we all know a few.

That aside, RoosterTeeth tries too much. They want too many things in a show which episodes are sometimes 10 minutes long. You can't put all that stuff together.

There were a lot of things that really pissed me off in Volume 3 and Volume 4 did jack shit to work it out. Ah, well.

That's just something I wanted to get off my chest. You guys drop by for a review and I hope to see you guys sooner or later. And if you want to know more about my OC's, they got their own stories as well.

Saluut.
