Well, one of us here regards her as a mortal enemy. Myself, I don't know much about her to come up with something. Others... No idea.
Also, vent draft ft. IS-kun:
Quote:
“Um... Uh! Mister?” A petite robotic voice calls out. Inami turns around and sees a floating set of IS armor peeking around the Minerva.
“...” His mind garbled at the sight of the small pilotless IS. “Wha... What... Who--”
“Ah, IS-kun. Be careful not to knock the Minerva over!” Tsurugi calls out as she enters the hangar with a couple of cups filled with hot chocolate, handing one to Inami. “Here you go, Ina-kun.”
He didn't respond, his eyes still fixated on IS-kun.
“Hey, Inami. Here's your drink.” She nudges his shoulder with the bottom of the cup, finally getting his attention but his expression... he was wide-eyed, mouth gaped and pointing at IS-kun, who's poking the side of the Minerva's helmet.
“Is that... yours?”
“Him? No, that's IS-kun. He's just a living IS running around the school like a kid. Haven't seen him this curious about something.”
IS-kun walks over and taps a finger on Inami's shoulder, causing him to jolt in fright. “Uh... Um... Mister? Is something wrong with her?” The IS points over to the Minerva.
“Ah... Uh...” Still partially frightened at the sight of an IS running around without a pilot, let alone being able to speak like it has one. “Um... No, not really. W-Why?”
“Well, I tried to talk to her but she's not responding.” Like any typical annoyed person, IS-kun rests his hands on his waist armor with his helmet turned back to the Minerva.
“You... talked to her?”
“Yeah! Usually an IS would respond when I give them a ping but that one over there isn't giving any reply. She's being rude, Mister!”
Unbelievable... His mental remark pings into his head as he sighs. “Well that's because the Minerva is not an IS. She's an EXA Frame.”
IS-kun tilts his helmet on one side. “EXA Frame...? She's not an IS?” He gasps, in all wonders of how he's capable of doing so without a mouth or any visible organs. “That means she's a foreigner! Oh dear, I must've been rude tapping her all over like that!” And he runs back to the Minerva.
“A foreign-- wait, what?”
“I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! Please tell her I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be aggressive I just--”
Goodness, he's pathetic for an advanced sentient machine... Inami heads over to IS-kun and taps him on the helmet. “I'll tell her that, don't worry.”
“O-Okay...” IS-kun's helmet sank a little. “But still, I've never met a foreigner before! You said her name was Minerva, right? That's a name from Roman mythology! Is she from Rome? Can I be friends with her?” He pours on, leaving Inami very little chance to catch his words properly except for the last question.
Seriously... Who's child is this? Inami sighs again then looks at Tsurugi, still holding onto the cups.
“IS-kun, you ask too much! Let him rest.” She says, handing a cup to Inami. He takes it and proceeds to take a sip.
“I'm sorry, Katami-san. Just a little curious, that's all. I'll make my leave now!” IS-kun nonchalantly hovers his way out of the hangar, stopping abruptly at the entrance and looks back. “Say, what's your name mister?”
“I'm Inami. Inami Arisawa.”
“I see.” IS-kun waves his hand. “See you , Arisawa-san!” The IS then leaves the hangar. Leaving the two in awkward silence.
“Foreigner huh?” Inami shatters the ambience.
“He maybe an IS but he has a mind of a child. Go easy on him, okay?” Tsurugi sips on her cup of hot chocolate. “And to think he's that attracted to the Minerva.”
Hell, I think I just found an ideal fanon icon Imagine something like this, all our OCs/fanon machines just trying to get IS-kun back to the Academy.

Tatenashi has no room in my fic, unless it's for CONFLICT and DRAMA. Admittedly though, sometimes having spines doesn't meant everything will go better.

... Lordy....
Would IS-kun be that OP that it would need the equivalent of half the world's firepower to chase it down? Probably if Madoka got her grubby mitts on it...
Madoka: Come here~ *yandere voice* Auntie wants to play with you~
IS-kun: No...! You're not Auntie!
Madoka: What do you mean by that...?
IS-kun: You don't fit the profile - Auntie's breasts are WAY bigger!
Madoka: >.<* You lil'...!
Chifuyu: ...leave it to Tabane to install such a security measure... -.-

Just imagine a poor child trying to find his way home, the Academy, while things fall apart all around him.
Then there's this group of fanon OCs alongside notable CCs already set out to find him and bring him back home, each of them taking turns to defend him from all kinds of threat. Be it stray shots from PT, Golems, falling objects, traffic, meteors etc etc.

That Doctor from Symphonic Gear G will make such a fun foil to Nemo.
Nemo, aspired to be a hero but know he lack the quality of one while his foil....
Antagonist: "I WILL BECOME A HERO!! THE LAST ACTION HERO!!!" Culling inferior males through artificial selection to create Superior Human Beings with "special factor"(Newtype, Elf...etc). When somebody pointed out his radical method, he will claim to be an Anti-hero, the cool, dark and edgy kind of hero.
>Vantier is developed from Evolutionary Theory so indirectly Nemo is using Evolution as weapons while the Antagonist used it as a tool to reshape society.
>Nemo use radical feminist theory for fun, this guy take it serious (where he get the idea of males are inferior, evolutionary mistake that need to be corrected)
So, Chapter I for "The Fallen Sakura Petal" is here! Feel free to edit anything you guys want! and I mean you, Agetreme!
Spoiler for Chapter I:
“My first encounter with Ichika Orimura...It’s the first day of the 2354 school year. He came there as a bodyguard for his childhood friend, Shinono Houki. I’m still in the shade with some details, but Ichika had been staying with the Shinono’s since he was 10 years old. The Second Mondo Grosso Incident, you know?...At first glance, he gave a confident and very “manly” vibe - Almost the same with the old Samurai. And guess what? He is truly one!” Maya Yamada, interviewed by Mayuzumi Kaoruko. Quoted from “Ichika Orimura: Biography of the Chaos Dragon”.
Chapter I
First day at school
(IS Academy, unknow location on Japan)
“...Everyone's here...right?...Then let's start the SHR (student homeroom meeting)! My name is Yamada Maya, but you could call me Maya... For the first part, I’m going to explain to you about the basic of IS...They, for a short word, are powered exoskeletons. Their main power generator is calling “Cores”...”
“Ms.Yamada, Where does a Core come from?”
“We...Well, that is still one of the most mysterious questions surrounding IS. The weapon’s creator, Shinono Tabane...” Houki’s head raised a bit with the mention of her sister’s name. “She never revealed the mean to create a Core, and since she has retreated into unanimously, only 467 Cores are known to belong to the various countries and research facilities. It’s illegal to...” Her head steadily bobbed down as one again, Houki slowly falls into the land of Nod. She couldn’t shaking out the feeling of being watched, though...
“Now, let's move on to self-introductions. Mm, we'll go by seating arrangements. Please stand up and introduce yourself to everyone. Now, let’s start with...”
“Why was I placed right in the front middle row of the class anyway?” Houki though. She try to send a curious look to her friend (more like rival), Lingyin Huang (or “Rin”). Rin returned with a large grin and the V-hand sign. Well, at least something never change...
“...san. Shinono Houki-san!”
“Ye..Yes!” Houki was pulled out from her daze and immediately resume her stoic face. To an extent, it’s quite scary.
“Sor...Sorry. W-well, I'm sorry for calling you out so loudly. Did I startle you?” Houki shaken her head. “The self-introductions... we started from ”A”, and now we're at '”S” for Shinono-san now. So, pl-please, could you introduce yourself? Co-could you?”
“No, there's no need to apologize... besides, it's just a self-introduction, so please calm down, sensei.
“Thank...Thank you! You can do your introduction now!” She stood up and turned to face the class. The pressure of dozens of gazes was immediately showered upon her. But only one of them made her nervous, and it came from outside of this class.
“Hmm...Well, I'm Shinono Houki. I'll be in your care.” After that, she bowed courteously and... The expressions on her classmate's faces seemed to generate a weird feeling, almost as if they were thinking: “Say something more!” and “It can't be just this, right?”. Rin’s satisfied grin grew wider and wider as Houki could feel the sweat trickling down her back, plus her brain on overload mode in order to find the right word to say:
“...That's all!” If this is a manga, I could said that everyone fainted comically (and Ms.Yamada crying). But since it’s not, so...Rin’s grin grew to the maximum. Agrr, how much she wanted to rip that smug smirk from its owner’s bratty face! And the final stroke that made her snapped:
“Shhhh...Houki! That’s not polite a bit! Don’t be shy and open up yourself!” A breezing wind suddenly came into the window, and with it, a male figure. Seconds later, the whole class could identify him: tall, well-built (even having some hidden muscle), wearing a traditional black-and-white Hakama. His appearance immediately raised hungry gazes and comments around the students. Don’t ask me why! - Blame this on the fact that only Female could pilot IS, thus this class is full of raging-hormones teenage girls.
“Ba..BAKA! WHY ARE YOU KEEP FOLLOWING ME!” Houki’s tone cleary transferred her fury. Though the heavy blush on her face made everyone further questioned their relationship.
“Didn’t I’ve made my vow? - I’ll protect you forever, remember?” Oh dear, this is so much for her to bear. Shinono’s face is now as red as the rising sun, and steam could be seen coming from her ears. If only she could found a hole to hide under...But since Houki is our beloved typical Tsundere, so the logical course of action would be:
A. Kick him.
B. Punch him on the face.
C. Kick him and then punch him on the face.
And the answer is....D. KILL HIM!!!!! Houki and Ichika soon joined in a mouse-and-cat game around the classroom. A really scary cat with a ballpoint pen she grabbed from Ms.Yamada’s pocket...
The result? Very unexpected! Just as Ichika ran through Rin’s seat, she just stretched her leg out and tripped him, followed by Houki. And where did she landed? On Ichika, or more exactly, her chest landed on Ichika’s face. Her legs “accidentally” spreaded his, which suggested everyone of some very “graphic” images (which consider a man, a woman and a bed, by the way). But before anyone have the chance to react...
“PANG!” Yep! The Grim Reaper in tuxedo is here! Chifuyu Orimura, the (would be) champion of the First and Second Mondo Grosso - the world largest Battle Royale for IS Pilot. Black tight fitting skirt, tall and slim, the body line of someone who doesn't look muscular even after lots of training. Her hands folded in front of her chest, her sharp slim phoenix eyes would remind anyone of wolves. Although she is only 15, the mature aura could be feel miles away.
“Thanks Gods that you are here, Chifuyu-nee!...WAHHH!!!”
“Fool! Call me Orimura-san! And why đi you two making a ruckus in MY class?” Even without raising her hand, Chifuyu’s voice is enough for our two characters cringled.
“Well...”
“Enough! Shinono, return to your seat. And Orimura, go and perform your duty. The third floor toilet is stucked!”
“Hai! Chifu...I mean Orimura-san!”
(A few minute later)
"Everyone, my name is Orimura Chifuyu, and my duty is that for this one year, I'll be training you in the operations and controls of IS. Everything I teach, you have to remember, and understand. To those who can't understand, I'll teach them till they can. My job is to thoroughly train you during your first year, from the age of 15 to 16. You can dislike my attitude, but you still have to do what I say. Understood?"
What's with this declaration of war? No mistake... this IS Orimura Chifuyu. But there weren't any awkward cries, but shrieks,
"KYAAA—! It's Chifuyu-sama, it's the real Chifuyu-sama herself!"
"I've always been your fan!"
"I came to this school from North Kyuushuu because I admired you, onee-sama!"
"I came all the way from southern Hokkaido!"
"I'm so happy to be taught by Chifuyu-sama!"
"I'll gladly die for Chifuyu-sama!"
Chifuyu-nee stared at the chattering girls with a disheartened expression. "...iT's really quite a sight to see so many idiots gather here every year. What a surprise? Or is there a special reason? Are these fools only here to attend my class?"
"KYAAAHH! ONEE-SAMA! SCOLD US MORE! CONTINUE TO SCOLD US MORE!!"
"BUT BE GENTLE TO US FROM TIME TO TIME!"
"AND BE EXTREMELY ELEGANT AFTERWARDS~!"
“KA-BOOM! PANG! PANG!” The class was suddenly shaken by what sounded to be laser beam gun and collapsed building.
“HEY! STOP! SAVE ME, CHIFUYU-NEE!!!”
“DIE, YOU PERVERT!!! YOU DARE TO STAINED MY BODY WITH YOUR BARBARIC LOOK! NOW DIE IN THE MOST PAINFUL WAY!!!!”
...From this embarrassment to another. Ichika was currently chased by an unknown blonde-haired, Caucasian girl. Oh, and should I mention she was very angry and piloted a Blue IS with Sniping Gun plus Remote-control BITs?
And this is only the first day in IS Academy...
Break time. On the Roof
“Uggh! That hurt!”
“Stop whining! Stay still!” Her voice was stern but Houki could not hide the blush rushing up into her face. She tenderly glide her hand around that firm yet supple body him as fire slowly stirr within her.
“Ahhh...That really does the work!” As spring of freshness flow down his back, Ichika could feel the cold liquid taking its effect. He stood up and turned around with his shirt, half-buttoned and baring his well-toned muscular chest. Blood flush up Houki’s face before the sight. She look away, trying to avert her gaze, but the beast inside her, gnawing at her heart.
“Ichika...”
“Huh?”
“...What really happened between you and that girl?” Houki tried to asked in her usual tone of voice but her voice shivers and she looked at him from the corner of her eyes, bearing the look of somebody who had been betrayed.
“...Don’t ask...You wouldn’t want to know!” His expression turned exhausted with a hint of...embarrassment?
“So there are something fishy happened! You pervert!” Houki raised her voice, loud enough to implode somebody's eardrum, she was trembling like a volcano about to erupt.
“Please calm down. Have I ever lie to you before, Houki?”
“Yes! The time you sneaked out with Chloe and drank half of my father’s precious Sake. WITHOUT my knowledge!”
“...Except that..Houki, I’ve promised to never leave you for my entire existence...A promise that I made before Sensei’s body.” His sincere words melted his childhood friend's heart, the girl look away and lowered her head in shame, but slowly leaned it on his bare chest, warming both her face and her heart with his warmth.
“Promise me...That you will never go after another girl!”
“I promise! Happy now?”
She answered his question with a deep, passionate kiss. Their tongues might battling each other for eternity, if not for the sudden belt: Ding-Dong-Dang-Dong. Ichika gathered all of his strength and remove his face from Houki’s, a string of saliva still connected them. Both their faces are beet red.
“So...So...Let’s get back to the class, shall we?” Ichika exclaimed, his voice were shaky from embarrassment. Houki could only reply with a silent nod. She is still in shock by her erupt yet daring action. Instead of getting better, it got even worse with Ichika holding her hand as they run downstairs together..... almost like a couple eloping away.
“...Thus, the basic operations of IS have to be guided by the country. If no permission is granted, we have to pursue criminal responsibilities...”
Yamada-sensei continued with her lesson ever so eloquently. However, Houki didn't understand anything at all. Five heavy books were sitting in front of her, and flipping to the top most page, she could only see columns and columns of meaningless text. The one thing that existed in her mind is the previous kis with Ichika...Daydream of a Maiden in Love.
“Is there something you don't understand, Shinono-san?” Yamada-sensei noticed her dreamy, unfocused gaze, and thus specifically asked her.
“Ah, that...”
“If you have any questions, please ask me. I'm a teacher after all!” Yamada-sensei lifts her chest up and answers confidently. But the answer struck her hard.
“Yamada-sensei!”
“Yes, Shinono-san?”
“I don't understand anything at all!”
“Erm...ev, everything...?” Yamada-sensei looked extremely bothered wearing a completely stiff expression...Where did that “reliable teacher” attitude go?
“Th-Then...except for Shinono-san, is there anybody else who doesn't understand the current lesson up till this point?” Yamada-sensei raised her hand to prompt the class. But only silence reigned over everyone.
“So no one could tell me what is the advantage of IS?...”
“Simple! Whether it's in terms of mobility, firepower or suppressing ability, the IS far surpasses all the older weapons in that aspect. If you don't understand this weapon 'thoroughly' before operating it, accidents will occur. We teach you basic knowledge and train you to prevent such accidents from occurring. Even if you can't understand, memorize it, and remain strong and steady. These are the rules and regulations.”
PANG! - Still perfect as usual. I wonder how much brain cell of Ichika has died because of that slam.
“Ueh...That hurt, Chifuyu-nee!”
“SILENCE! And who give you permission to interrupt my class?”
“Aww! Don't be such meanie! You won't get a husband with that attitude!" A light blush appear on Chifuyu's face - the second-to-last thing we could expect, just before money rain from the sky. "Or a boyfriend! You scares every boys whom tried to woo you, even to the point they wet their pants! Seriously, I could see wrinkles on you...”
PANG! PANG! PANG!
...Let's us all have a moment to remember a brave but foolish samurai-in-training.
“Baka! Remember that I'm only a few minute older than you!”
"For the remaining time, we'll mainly be describing all sorts of equipment that can be used in actual combat, and their characteristics." Chifuyu replaced Yamada-sensei, who taught the first and second period lessons, as she stood at the front. Seemed like this was important, as even Yamada-sensei took out a notebook.
“Ah, but before that, we have to decide on the class representative who'll take part in the inter-class tournament.” Exciting murmurs soon raised around the class, while Houki could only shake her head in confusion.
“Thank you, Ms. Yamada...The class representative, as its name indicates, will not only compete in the tournament, but will also attend student council meetings and committee meetings as well. Well, you can consider it like a class leader. On a side note, the inter-class battles are meant to gauge each enrolled class's ability. Though there isn't much difference right now, competition will encourage further improvement." The students started to become abuzz, and not long long before a girl stand up:
“Sensei, I recommend Shinono-san!” Wait, wait, wait...Why Houki? Probably by her “performance” with Ichika. It’s not everyday you witness something that brutal!
“I feel that it's a good idea too!”
“Then the candidate will beShinono Houki... is there anyone else? You can either nominate yourself or another person, both are fine!” - ACK! There's no way this could happen!
“M-Me?” Houki immediately stood up, and what struck me were the piercing stares.
"Then who else? Sit down, Shinono, you're a troublesome sight! Then, isn't there anyone else? If so, Orimura will be elected without a vote.”
“W-Wait a second! I don't want this! Ms. Orimura, Please chose someone else!”
“I said that no matter whether you nominated yourself or someone 'else' nominated you, the one nominated doesn't have the right to refuse. The one nominated should be prepared already.”
“Ev-Even if I'm not willing for...” Just as Houki was trying to protest, I got cut off by a highly enthusiastic voice.
“Hold on a minute! I can't accept this outcome!” - PAM!
Rin slammed her hands against the table as she got up, her figure became a lot more intimidating. Oh, look like Houki’s life-saver is here! Well, in an unexpected way...
“This kind of election outcome is totally unacceptable! Anyway, having this Cow as our class representative is totally disgraceful! Do you expect me and the class to endure this embarrassment for a whole year?"
“Hey, watch your mouth, you Flat Board!”
“Still wayyyyyyyy better than you, Cow!”
“Flat Board!”
“Cow!”
“FLAT BOARD!”
“COW!”
PANG! PANG! For the n times of this morning, Chifuyu have to resource to her infamous attendance book. Two big lumps could be sên from the girl's heads, and yet they still maintain the silent battle of glares.
“Then, we have a common understanding. The battle will take place next Monday in the 3rd arena. Orimura and Alcott, make sure you are well prepared. Now, let's get back to the lesson....”
And with that, the Old Fire between two bitter rival was once again litted...
Due to the Byakushiki's weakness of lacking energy, a support unit is built for it. This support unit acts as a mobile recharge port for Byakushiki, housing 3 state of the art, experimental pair annihilators. Each one can match an IS core in energy generation. Due to the experimental nature of the energy cores, the unit is built largely to accomodate their bulky structure. The unit itself sports no weapons but sports powerful boosters to match the movements of the Byakushiki Setsura. The machine is about twenty meters long, twelve meters high and fifteen meters across.
The support unit links up with the IS core which grants it the benefits of PIC, shielding and absolute defense as well. Uniquely, the support unit has a combat mode which transforms the carrier frame to a humanoid unit. it copies the movements of Byakushiki on remote control or the pilot can control it directly when linked up to recharge his IS.
