Spoiler for Sacred Twins Ch14 Part 1:

~MADOKA POV~

So much for a brief respire

I always knew, there’s something about Ichika-nii that I didn’t knew about, something off about him… that hold him back.

Regardless, now that I know…

I knocked the door for the sake of etiquette, Yuzu-san opened the door hastily, and her eyes widened for a while, before turning into a serene look, welcoming me with a simple smile.
(Ah, I’m glad having such a good roommate)

“Welcome back, Madoka-san”

“I’m home, Yuzu-san”

I dropped my back on the bed without much hesitation, feeling the fluffy bed like I never sleep here, ever. Unwinding my mind, I’ve greeted with Yuzu-san’s getup.

(I wonder why she kept that appearance out of class, could be so much better letting the hair loose)

“Yuzu-san, I wonder why you always tied your hair, you look beautiful in that hairstyle you know”

Her eyes widened in surprise, but then her serene expression had returned “It’s a lot more practical, besides, I don’t have anyone to impress here”

Considering the situation, I beg to differ “Uh, not really”

“Well, I’m not the one who got a couple of love letters for sure”

My vein popped instantly, my face turned red in embarrassment, thankfully, the trusty pillow is still there “Iyaa, I’m still embarrassed about that!”

“Ara-ara, no need to be embarrassed, fu-fu” she waved her hand lightly “It’s romance time after all”

“How about Yuzu-san? Spending a weekend with boyfriend”

“Yes”

Such a short answer, and yet, looking at the radiance emitted by her face, I can see insurmountable amount of happiness she got from such a simple occurrence.

“I’ve heard that~”

OH SHI-

“Nohonhon, how many times I told you to knock” Yuzu-san chastised the short girl, albeit half serious.

Honne, Kiyoka-chan, and Shizune popped out from the half-open door, although Shizune is especially not amused for some reason.

“They dragged me into this”

I see.

“Now, now, as the only one around here who had a boyfriend, I demand you to share your wise words to us” Honne pointed, “kay?”

“Sure thing, what do you want to know anyway?”

“Starting with how you two met” I hastily barged in into the conversation, might as well the first to ask.

Protip: the guy is the same guy that shown in chapter 5, that is, a victim of date rape attempt in Madoka's flashback.

Author of Shinobi Of The Sky crossover... what can you say about it???

[ZeroXSEED]

First of all, welcome to the forum, we talk about all sort of I.S. related material in personal fanon. Our motto is be critical, be honest, but stay having fun.

.....

I'll be honest here, Naruto is wanked out so much that he COULD fight all 467 I.S. with no problem, not a bit. Four I.S.? Pussies. Granted, 4th Ninja War Naruto could do that with extra effort, given enough time and information. But is there's any reason for giving him THREE kekkei genkai? And even worse, one of them count as accident.

I'll wait for second chapter to judge further.

[DarkJak2050]

A short oneshot spotted.

Ichika's Rant

Edit:

Can anyone make a drawing of the iTags that was described in the last scene I posted?

It's to see if it's exactly how I pictured it when I did that part in the scene. But through a reader's view.

Spoiler for iTags Description:

As the nurse left, Ichika spotted some metal pieces on the floor next to Hot Shot’s bed.

Ichika picked them as Hot Shot continued to sleep and took a good look at them as he got back to the girls.

The two small metal pieces attached to a small chain, and both of them are in the shape of a shield, with a thunderbolt in front going across at a downward angle from the top left to the bottom right with a skull in the middle of it and set at the opposite angle to the thunderbolt and a streamer at the bottom of the shield.

The streamer on both pieces has a name engraved on them.

I'll get some sketch after installing my scanner

EDIT:

Can't draw a good sketch yet (no table, pencil, and eraser), but which one is the closest design?

Spoiler for Size because drawing suck:

[demino_hellsin]

Can a human fire. Full auto weapon if the caliber is 10.2mm? I want it to be larger but not sure if that's plausible. This is assuming all state of the art anti-recoil design is in use. Free float barrel, muzzle gas holes, internal frame hammer(dunno what it's called), etc.

[StratoSpear]

10.2mm... Would that be somewhere like a Glock's bullet?

That would depend on where the weapon is supported(e.g attached to a sub-arm) or simply held with just both hands. If its the former, maybe plausible for full-auto fire for a while. The latter however... That guy would need strong arms.

Maybe it's just me, but even if the weapon has the best anti-recoil systems, there has to be at least a certain amount of recoil when the projectile exits the muzzle.

How much the recoil gets reduced depends on how heavy the weapon is to act as a counterweight of some sort, to hold the weapon in place and absorb the recoil force acting against it when a shot gets fired.

[demino_hellsin]

Not too heavy as it can be wielded with one hand. For comparison's sake an AA12 can be fired full auto with one hand comfortably. Well the people who use it should be specially trained so strong arms are a given. However I want to know if I'm crossing thresholds of impossibility. I actually wanted about 11-13mm

Uh, not exactly what I had in mind.


It's somewhat like this; and I know that the Thunderbolt's going down on the opposite side as I described it. Also there's a "ring" around it and no skull in the middle or streamer at the bottom of the shield. It's not really more of a work in progress.

So it's subject to change really.

And besides, the skull is not set at the opposite angle as the Thunderbolt in either of the ones you drew.

Or maybe I might've described it wrong...

Either way, it's really more of a work in progress.

Stratospear, what do you think? Thought of giving a try on drawing the iTags as it's described?

I would assume that the weapon you have in mind is a rifle and not a handgun or SMG, yes?

Because 13mm, the closest I could find is a Browning.

I'm seriously uncertain that one person can Rambo that shit around like a kid's schoolbag.

I couldn't even one-arm a SAR21 for that matter. I tried, really.

@Jak

I could try.

[demino_hellsin]

assault rifle yes. I'm looking to imagine it as around the size of an M4. Though considering it's anti-IS I might need a longer barrel for the range. But most important is ease of movement.

It's a far cry from the M2. Unlike most assault rifles, the one I'm thinking off will only have a muzzle velocity of 300-500m/s. A tad slower than most rifles. The idea isn't how much stopping power or penetrating power it can drive home. It's how much bullet mass it can unload on the target.

[ZeroXSEED]

Caliber doesn't mean everything. Bullet type is taken into account, and so does the gun in question

Look at this table, I take a liberal approach but with realistic design.

windows 7 screen shot

If you choose the rifle approach... well dang, it can broke your shoulder on SINGLE SHOT if unlucky. And carrying it will piss of most soldier anyway since that gun is massive, lightening it further... well, good luck.

EDIT: now with Demi's input

Ahhah! My bad, so that's the criteria. If that's case, with strong arms, I don't see why it won't be possible. I'm prolly hand-waving here, but strong arms does sound rather vague when I said it. There's still stuffs like rifle-butt cushioning and all those recoil-reduction equipment.

However, point still stands. If the weapon is light enough to be carrier with one arm, high chances are the recoil will definitely send the rifle flipping over your shoulder upon firing.

EDIT: Ninjetti-d

[demino_hellsin]

Then the SMG is the only route. The KRISS recoil reduction system was actually what I had in mind. Though I am confused at how the AA12 barely has recoil or muzzle rise despite firing 12-gauge shells. Normally shotguns needs 2 hands and 1 handed just cements how macho you are because it apparently breaks shoulders if you do the 1 hand thing without the correct stance.

KRISS and AA12

[ZeroXSEED]

AA-12 are damn massive, civies pumpy shotgun is 2-3 kg, military auto shotgun is 4-5 kg

AA-12 is 7.2 kg loaded, and the way it held and operated is closer to a heavy carbine. Some of the recoil force is used to cycle the gun operation too, so the recoil is spread longer. (being kicked vs pushed hard)

(incidentally, I use this as emergency anti-I.S. weapon, loaded with FRAG-12 incendiary, which only piss them off but better than peashooter)

[demino_hellsin]

I'm running my chaff rounds. The chaff rounds can take out a human sure, but they are primarily designed to drain IS shielding. Normally the corps that uses this will carry a second weapon of their own choosing for personal combat. Some might want another rifle or SMG, that's all up to them and for them to procure. Though it's advised to just use pistols.

[ZeroXSEED]

Errr... how exactly cloud of aluminum noodle can do jack against human?

Spacebattles' Answer: thrown at sufficient velocity

Yeah, not kidding. A slow ass 40mm grenade kill people at point blank range, where their fuse will fail to arm, it's still fist sized quarter kilogram bullet flying at 75 m/s.

I picked more simplistic incendiary round, they burn at such high temperature that they literally turned into semi-plasmid state.

[demino_hellsin]

I'd like to see a human survive a ceramic shell flung at them at 300 m/s. Sure, might not work on those with body armor but...

:|

squishy civs man, squishy civs

[StratoSpear]

Even body armor would have at least be dented deep enough to hurt the body it's supposed to protect

Also, cont'd from previous scene I posted:

Spoiler for Algolis Shroud draft:

As Charlotte approaches Ichika, Laura notices something strange on the drone’s shoulder launchers: an orange glow begins to grow in intensity from its back. Her eyes widen in shock as she realizes the imminent.

“It’s going to—! CHARLOTTE! ICHIKA!”

“Laura…?” The two turn their heads to her.

“Get away from it! HURRY!”

Without hesitation, all three of them seek cover behind boulders nearest to them. While Charlotte and Ichika hide behind one, Laura stays behind another that’s further away.

*VA-BOOOM*

Ignition of the Strike Jabber’s missiles rips it apart in a massive explosion, even vaporizing the chunk of land it was resting upon. Charred patches of dirt, stones and grass rain around the area as the three put their IS arms over their heads to shelter themselves.

The shower of dirt eventually ceases and Ichika pops his head up over the boulder to see a burnt crater where the Strike Jabber’s remains once was. He steps out of the cover along with Charlotte and Laura running to their side.

“You two okay?”

“We’re fine…”

“We need to head back to Academy and report this to the instructors.”

“Yeah. Let’s go—”

*tii-iit* “-IS pilots. If you can hear me, respond immediately.-”

Inami’s voice, whom they do not recognize, calls out to them via their respective comms.

“What the…?”

“Public transmission?”

“But who would—?”

“-I repeat. IS pilots, respond immediately if you are receiving this transmission!-”

While the others are puzzled, Laura responds to the call.

“Who is this?” She asks with a harsh tone, only to be replied with a gentle relieved sigh.

“-Thank goodness… Listen, there’s very little time for me to fully explain what’s going on. But I need all of you to leave that area immediately.-”

“We’re about to.”

“-All right then. I’m also detecting a group of drones closing in on your positions.-”

At the same time, four unknown blips appear on Laura’s on-screen radar and are approaching their location from the south.

“-An Astra is amongst them so you must be careful. It’s the enemy’s latest and most lethal drone unit.-”

“Astra… what?” The three turn their heads to the sky where they could see four lights in the distance entering the airspace.

“-I’ll be there in a few seconds so don’t stick around or you might get caught in the crossfire.-”

“Tch… Understood, we’ll be on our way then.”

Just as they were about to leave, a very distant swooshing sound snatches Laura’s attention. She turns around and sees four more lights spreading out from one of the approaching drones.

“Missiles!”

“What?” Charlotte turns around as well and sees the missiles. Redeploying her IS arms, she whips out a Vent rifle and takes aim for them. As soon as she manages to get the Vent’s scope reticule on a missile a blue particle beam from above promptly strikes it before she could pull the trigger.

*KA-BOOM*

“—?”

“Above us, Charlotte!”

She looks up. More particle beams bolt across the sky, destroying the remaining three missiles. The students look the source and see the Minerva Algolis Shroud, standing in stance on-board the Type One flight platform and dual-wielding particle carbines.

*BSHUU—* *BSHUU-BSHUU—*

Inami, in the Algolis Shroud, fires a controlled spread towards the drone formation which consists of two Jabbers, one Strike Jabber and one Astra. A couple of particle bolts strike one of the two Jabbers and destroys it.

“One more…!”

The recoilless rifle swings down onto his shoulder as he aims for the Strike Jabber in the formation via a retinal targeting system all while his fingers are tapping on the carbines’ triggers. Despite the four reticules projecting on his helmet’s hologram screen, he focuses on the polygonal reticule that represents the weapon.

*tii—*

He blinks his eyes, triggering a shot from the recoilless rifle. A huge, blue particle bolt launches from the weapon’s muzzle, leaving a spiraling particle trail as it zeros straight for the Strike Jabber.

*KA-PAASH—* *BOOM*

Chewing into its torso, the particle bolt ignites the drone’s internal fuel line, erupting into another explosion vibrantly illuminating the night sky. The remaining Jabber and Astra quickly turns south and retreats upon their loss and Inami brings the Type One into hover, watching as the two drones vanish from his sight.

[ZeroXSEED]

Nah, unless that shell is larger than HMG round, the bullet will just deflected, and the human will be pissed as fuck. Ceramic is BAD as bullet.

Ceramic bullet do not dent, do not expand, and do not fragment themselves. They break into pieces when hitting armor and pass through muscle almost harmlessly.

Oh, and nice scene there.
