[]Fifth Amendment, the right to not self-incriminate

You can see everyone quiet down and look at you after the Kaoruko asked you. They must all be curious as to see who you fancy.

You clear your throat and see all the girls are waiting with bated breath. “Fifth Amendment.” you reply in a flat tone.

“What?” Kaoruko responds along with all the other girls confused murmurs.

“The right to not self-incriminate.” you answer with a flat tone. The girls obviously murmur disappointed to your answer. Sorry girls, you figure that any answer is a bad answer right now.

“Aww not even a little hint?” she continues.

“Nope.” you reply succinctly.

Knowing she isn't getting anything out of you, Kaoruko quickly turns to Charles and asks, “So who do you think it is?”

“Ah, well I think it would be someone unexpected.” Charles responds with a smile while looking at you.

Is Charles purposely doing that to screw with you or is she being a indirect with her feelings. Some of the girls in the background are quite happy with that response. What was that term you heard, fujoshis or something. Sorry girls but things won't work out that way due to Charles being Charlotte, but that is for later.

“What a nice answer.” Kaoruko says.

“Well Charles, I do not think it is someone that unexpected.” Cecilia says this time getting much closer to you, almost as if she is trying to insinuate herself as the one.

“Ok then. Let's take a picture then.” she says as she raises her camera at you.

“Please make sure I get set a copy.” Cecilia asks her getting into position.

Everyone piles into the picture, even Houki, who was a bit quite the entire time. Well you can ask her tomorrow during Kendo practice. After all the pictures, the party goes on until it's time to head back to the dorms. Charles and you make it back to your room without any problems.

Once both of you are in your room you ask Charlotte, “You did that on purpose didn't you?”

“That's a secret.” she replies while putting a figure to her lips smiling.

You just sigh and start to undress, Charlotte takes the cue and heads to the bathroom to change. You notice while changing that your phone has a voice message and not from any number you know. Well that is certainly strange.

[]Hear it now

You hope this isn't some sort of prank call. After all who would have your number? Going to voice mail you hear the message.

“Hey there John, congratulations on joining the club.” the feminine voice says over the phone. “Iris thinks you're really cute even if you are a bit young. I think I'll just wait til you grow up a little bit. Oh right sorry to introduce myself. It's me Natasha Fairs, another Candidate Rep for the US along with Iris. Don't worry about how we got your number, NSA secrets and all that. Anyway congratulations, I would like to visit since I'm in Hawaii but work kind of puts a damper on that. Iris would be so very jealous if I did. I do wonder if we would have met if you weren't attack at your school.” Natasha continues with a bit of a giggling. “Before I forget, here's my number. I'll be angry if you don't have me on your contacts. Anyway I have to go, I'll call you again later. Bye.” Natasha finishes.

You are in a bit of disbelief over the whole thing. Another girl, this time older as you remember the US Candidate Reps were all in their early 20s. You see Charlotte comes out of the bathroom already changed in her track suit.

“Something happen John?” she asks asks you obviously noticing your reaction to the voice message.

“Nothing much, just a call from another Candidate Rep from the US.” you reply.

“Really? How did she get you number?” Charlotte asks.

“NSA.” you answer in a flat tone.

Charlotte just sighs at your answer. Noticing you didn't finish changing and continue just to see Charlotte blush as you take off your shirt. She quickly turns around towards the balcony letting you have some modicum of privacy.

“John,do you think something will happens to me since I won't be returning to France?” Charlotte asks as you finish changing.

“Doesn't matter. I'll bet there to protect you if anything happens.” you answer resolutely.

Charlotte moves and stop right behind you. You can feel her lightly hold onto your t-shirt. “Thanks John, you really are a good person.” she says still holding on.

You can feel her warmth on your back. Your face is quickly starting to feel a lot warmer but you control yourself and let Charlotte stay there for a bit.

After a couple of minutes, Charlotte lets go. “We should get some sleep now John, it is rather late.” she says.

“Yeah” you reply. You notice that she wasn't sad or tearful more happy than anything else. Guess she is relying on you more and more now.

You both head to bed and you quickly fall asleep but you think you heard Charlotte stir a bit. Must be nothing. The alarm wakes you. You really hate that alarm.

[]Get up on time, Houki will be waiting for you

You smack the alarm down and crawl out of bed. Mornings may not be your thing, especially on Sundays but you have training with Houki after all. You look over at Charlotte and notice that she must have been a bit restless. You walk over to the side of her bed and take the top of her sheets to tuck her in. You try to avoid looking too closely at what appears to be something sky blue peaking beyond her zipper. No, you should not take advantage of her. She is relying on you after all. Once you finish tucking her in, she shifts slightly in bed, more comfortable now. You get ready and head out to meet Houki in the cafeteria for breakfast. You grab a hearty breakfast and take a set across from her.

“Good morning Houki.” you say just before you start eating.

“Good morning John. I think some practice matches would be good. It would be good to see how far you have progressed.” Houki replies.

“Sure, sounds like a plan.” you say before you take a big bite from your waffles.

“Umu.” Houki responds smiling.

Looks like she has also been enjoying the training with you as much as you do. The two of you finish breakfast and head to the Kendo room. On the way out of the cafeteria you run into Laura Bodewig. She looks you over with an annoyed expression on her face.

“Hmph. Not just playing soldier now are you.” Laura quips as she walks away to eat breakfast.

“I still don't get what is her problem.” you say to Houki.

Houki doesn't really respond but she does have a bit of a depressed expression. The two of you arrive to the Kendo room. There are more club members around but not too many since it is still early. Both of you do a quick set of swinging practices to stretch out. After you are both done stretching, you don on the protective gear while Houki puts on hers. Once you are both done, you take your places.

“Ready?” Houki asks.

“Ready.” you reply.

And the set of matches starts. You did better this time, you were able to get some points but Houki still beats you.

“John are you fine?” Houki asks a bit more concerned than usual.

[]Something the matter? You seem rather concerned over something.

“Something the matter Houki? You've been a bit weird for a while now. I think it was when Laura showed up, you started acting more reserved.” you reply.

Houki seems a bit taken back and hesitates for a moment. “So you noticed.” Houki reply with a deflated tone.

“Hard not to. I do worry about you, we are friends after all.” you reply.

“I see, I see. Well then John do you want to listen to me?” Houki responds a bit less depressed.

“Yes.” you reply as you take off your protective gloves.

You and Houki take off the protective equipment and put it back onto the racks for others to use and head outside. You find a place with a nice breeze while being private.

“So what did you want to talk about Houki?” you ask.

“Well it has to do with Laura.” Houki responds.

“Laura? How? I don't think you two met each other before now.” you ask.

“That's not quite what I meant. It's just I know what she is going through right now. She is a lot like me before the two of us met. She is taking out all of her anger and frustration on those around her.” Houki says depressed tone. “When IS' became public I was forced to move around. I didn't know where my parents were taken to and Onee-chan was hidden somewhere. I was stressed out and frustrated at the whole situation.” she continues.

You really hate when politics does these sort of things, but this can't be everything so you let Houki continue.

“They keep me under surveillance and questioning me about everything. It was so frustrating but Kendo was one of the places I could be myself. So I focused on practicing Kendo as much as I could. I went so far as to make it to the finals of the National Kendo Tournament. But at the deciding match, I only found out that all I was doing was taking out my frustration, my stress, out on people. I was just hurting people and I hated myself for it. But Kendo is one of the things I enjoy.” Houki says still in that depressed tone.

“So that is why you know what Laura is going through.” you say.

“Yes, she thinks she is strong for fighting and beating people. But that is not real strength, not like the strength you have John. You fight against everything just to protect people, that is real strength. At first I thought you were just going to cause problems since we were in the same dorm room. But I was wrong, you ended up being a good person and someone I enjoy being with. You take your strength and only use it to help others. That is something I really admire about you John.” Houki replies in a less depressed tone but with a bit of a smile towards the end.

True 'merica

>>34849287
Yes, but Coonhounds are 100% American. A new breed, created from the best of the old, specifically for the quarry and working conditions found in the United States.
George Washington owned four.
The Black & Tan Coonhound's temperament is described thus. "It is mellow, amiable, calm, and unobtrusive indoors. Outdoors, its strong hunting instincts take over, and it can be difficult to turn it from a track after it starts trailing. As befitting a dog with its heritage, it is strong, independent, and stubborn. The Black and Tan Coonhound is gentle and tolerant with children, but it may be too independent to satisfy a playful child. It is reserved with strangers and in their presence may bay and howl. The Black and Tan Coonhound can run for miles although it is usually content with a moderate jog or long walk, with an occasional excursion into the field. It can wander if it catches a scent, so a safe area is mandatory."

[]Hug Houki. Hugs solve everything

You don't even hesitate, you just take her in your arms and hug her.

“John what are you doing?” Houki asks in surprise.

“Hugging you. You really need one after all that you have been through.” you respond still hugging her.

She fidgets for a little but you just hold her even closer. Houki stops fidgeting and just stands there in your embrace. You hope she doesn't notice the smell of your sweat or that her considerable bosom is being pressed against you. After some times has past, you let go after you think she feels better. Houki turns away trying to hide her blushing face.

“Houki.” you say to her.

“Yes John?” Houki responds trying to hide how flustered she is.

“If you ever need someone there, I will be there for you. You just have to ask and I will be there to help you out. I care about you so let me know when you are down or you need someone to be there. Ok?” you tell Houki

“Ok” Houki answers as she turns towards you giving you an honest smile from the bottom of her heart. “Now let's get back to practice.” She follows up now much more energetic and happy.

“Ok.” you reply with a smile on your face.

You both head back to the Kendo room now with more people it in. Seems like even the other club members see how Houki is in much higher spirits. Guess that is just another one for the rumor mill, especially since that interview with Kaoruko was published. The rest of practice goes off with no problems. Sure the follow up matches against Houki were all loses but she is very happy with your progress and seems to really be enjoying Kendo again. After practice the two of you relax and enjoy the rest of the day off. Houki is much cuter when she is happy. Then again that is true for all girls.

The next week is bit of a flurry of activity preparing for the Doubles Tournament. Cecilia and Rin are unable to participate due to the fight with Laura. Houki signed up but didn't have a partner so she will be assigned on by the lottery. And you are partnered up with Charles. Soon enough the first match of the Tournament is upon you. All the participants have to wait in the locker rooms.

“Ready John?” Charles asks you.

“Yup. Just hope we're not the first match. That happened last time to me during the Inter-class Tourney.” you reply looking at the screen going to display the first match participants.

[]Yeah, I didn't expect to fight Houki in our first match

“Yeah. I didn't expect to fight Houki or go against her in the first match.” you answer Charles. “Was kind of hoping to avoid fighting against Houki.” you add.

“I see, must be fighting against someone you care about. If you want, I can mainly fight against her if you want.” Charles replies.

“No, that won't be necessary. I don't think she would like that at all.” you say.

“Ok if you think it's fine.” Charles says.

The two of you head to the launch bay and activate your IS'. On the way to the starting positions, you hear Walken over the comms.

“John, don't forget to be on good behavior. Not only are there representatives from across the world here and the media here too. You can't do anything stupid since you are a Candidate Representative now. You will be an example of America out there.” Walken says over the comms.

“Don't worry, I know what my position entails.” you reply. You look over and see that not only is the stadium is pack among the students but you see where those representatives for foreign governments are sitting. “Packed stadium Charles.” you comment over comms.

“Yeah, just means everyone will be watching us beat Laura.” Charles replies coolly.

You and Charles arrive at the center of the stadium opposite to Laura and Houki at the starting positions.

“How convenient to fight you in the first match. Just means I don't have to wait to beat you.” Laura snipes over the comms.

Because that shit genuinely pisses me off. The media will talk for days about any incident involving one, but nobody ever mentions Lefty, who jumped in front of a fucking shotgun blast to protect her owner from a home invader. Or Baby, who went full fucking smoke eater to get her family and their other dogs out of their burning home. Creature, who (without being a trained search dog) took off one day while her owner was walking her and rescued an 89 year old dementia patient who had gotten separated from her caretaker. TaterTot, who woke his owner when his four year old diabetic son was having a medical emergency. Jack, who fought off two coyotes that were attacking his owner's cat. Chaco, who was stabbed 12 times protecting his owner from her abusive asshole boyfriend (who he successfully fought off).

Such obvious bait, you aren't going to fall for it. Laura should know better than to try and bait you. She may be getting overly emotional about this fight.

“Laura, Houki, let's have a good match.” you tell both of them over comms.

Houki just gives a stern nod to you. Laura on the other hand did not take well to your response. You look at the corner of your eye to see that the countdown for the start of the match approaches zero. With a loud buzzer the match starts. You immediately deploy Gram and fire 5 rounds rapid at Laura. Laura in turns activates her AIC stopping the rounds. Houki in the mean time burns what thrust the Uchigane has and goes straight for you. You barely had enough time to deploy Caladbolg to deflect Houki's downward strike. Pinned down by Houki and unable to counter, Charles lines up Houki and fires both of his shotguns at Houki. Only one shot connects before she is throw aside by Laura's wire daggers as she comes charging at you with her wrist mounted energy blades.

Mercey, who saved her owner from 4 psychos with a machete, and got cut up pretty bad in the process. Elle, the therapy dog who helps kids who are scared of dogs get past their fear. Major, who USED A PHONE to call 911 when his owner was having a seizure. Peaches, who was almost euthanized as part of an animal cruelty case, now a therapy dog who helped out after the bombings at the Boston Marathon. Abby, one of two dogs who saved Angelis Procter of Leicester, England from a fox attack. Destiny, who saved a little kid from being abducted. Phoebe, who rescued a cat that had been sealed in a cardboard box and thrown out with the trash. Lilly, who lost a leg saving her unconscious owner from being hit by a freight train. Weela, who saved 30 people, 29 dogs, 13 horses, and 1 cat during large scale flooding in SoCal in the early nineties. Popsicle, rescued from a drug dealer's freezer at 5 months old, and became one of the most successful customs dogs in history. Or SGT Stubby, the stray Boston Bull Terrier who is so badass that I'm just gonna link to an article about him.
http://www.badassoftheweek.com/sgtstubby.html

Pit Bulls' bad rep is a vicious cycle. Identification of the breed involved in an attack basically boils down to asking random witnesses, and many people (read, fucking retards) will just say "It was a Pit Bull!" because they have this ridiculous idea that Pit Bulls are these vicious monsters. So the media reports it as one, feeding the myth.

Her background consists of being a test tube baby born and raised to be a perfect foot soldier. With the advent of IS, her superiority as a soldier got questioned, they trained her in using it but she sucked hard at it. Only after Chifuyu's spartan training regime was she only able to become best of the best among her peers.

And then comes John, a complete civilian, who just picks up an IS, kicks terrorist butt while looking good at it.
(See Laura's earlier taunt of "playing soldier".)

[]Rely on your sides better coordination to throw off both Laura and Houki

Laura takes a swipe at you but you easily dodge backwards with your better thrust. Charles quickly follows up with some covering fire pelting Laura with slugs. You use your higher speed to get to Laura's flank and follow up with more bursts from Gram. Laura is forced to rotate around and fire her several of her wire daggers at you. Charles once again provides more covering fire while you destroy the incoming wire daggers while boosting away to Laura's left. Seeing past Laura, Houki is up and rejoining the fight.

“Charles, Houki is up and coming at you.” you tell Charles over comms.

“Thanks John, I see her.” Charles replies reorientating himself towards Houki.

Houki attempts to join the fight are thwarted by Charles' fire.

“Sorry I'm not John, Houki.” Charles says over comms while firing his shotguns at Houki.

“I'm not a fool.” Houki replies deflecting incoming fire with her sword.

Is that even possible you think to yourself. Laura lines up a shot with her huge railgun at you but you quickly dodge upward. She complete misses as the shot crashes into the ground below you. You return fire with more bursts from Gram. She fires again with her railgun making you dodge while simultaneously firing a pair of wire daggers at Charles.

“Charles, incoming from Laura.” you tell him.

“Got it, can you handle Houki then?” Charles asks in response.

“No problem.” you answer thrusting towards Houki and firing your railrifle allowing Charles to disengage from her.

Your fire forces Houki to focus on you and she takes off in chase. Her lower lower speed won't match yours in the sky. She'll be easy picking if you keep your range or you can try and finish it quickly.

Because I suddenly had the image of us breaking out mother fucking GERWALK in the Maeve at some point, so we can outclimb anyone we go up against. Anti-gravity is nice, but anti-gravity combined with both Bernoullian and Newtonian lift would make us the fastest climbing IS on the face of the earth. Just pop GERWALK find the optimal angle-of-attack, turn the a-grav all the way up, and shoot into the sky like a homophobe out the doors of a gay bar.

Getting in melee with Houki is not smart, best to do what you do best. Air Superiority. You re-angle yourself as you fire at Houki with Gram. You see the Houki stop and try and deflect your darts with her sword. That only works on the first round, not the following four. Uchigane's shields protects her and sends sparks everywhere indicating solid hits.

“What how!” Houki yells over comms.

“5 rounds burst, very cool upgrade.” you reply as you burn past her forcing her to figure out where you will attack next.

You used your thrust and get above her, up here you can bounce her really easy. Charles is not having too many problems dealing with Laura but she is losing ground. Better finish Houki so you can focus on Laura. Your following attack comes directly above Houki, you switch out from Gram to Fragarch. You take aim at Houki's Uchigane's right shield pylon. The improvements make taking aim much easier if it feels.

“Sorry about this Houki.” you tell her over comms just before you fire.

Your shot goes just where you aimed, but just before impact you see Houki react and swing at the projectile resulting in two explosions. One where Houki is and the other off angle below her.

“What happened?” you mutter to yourself in disbelief.

<Partial deflection. Her sword partially cut the dart resulting in the split just before impact.> Reinforce's text is displayed on the HUD.

“Damn Houki, I know you are good but damn.” you mutter to yourself again.

Looking down you see Houki gracefully glide downward without her Uchigane's right shield pylon. Your shot connected and did knock her out of the fight but damn to do that against Fragarch's projectile even if it is at sporting safety muzzle velocity. You quickly survey Charles and Laura's fight, not good. Laura took advantage of the confusion from the explosion and wrapped a wire dagger around Charles' arm. Time to do something about that.

Could be he decided he wanted to be a fighter jockey, and learned the requirements at a young age. You have to graduate from a university (or the Air Force Academy) with a 3.8 GPA or higher in an engineering or hard science major. Then you have to become an officer (this step is automatic if you take the Academy route). Then you have to get accepted into flight school. Then you have to graduate in the top 10% of your class. Then you have to apply to become a FAR (fighter/assault/recon) pilot if it's even open. Then you have to request fighter pilot. Then, if there's even a slot available, you have to compete with every other FAR pilot for it. You also need near perfect health.
So it's possible John decided he wanted to fly fighters at a young age, learned the requirements, and then set out to meet and exceed the standard in pursuit of his dream.

[]Take control and use the Zoisite laser rifle, you didn't forget you have that

You shift slight and take aim at Laura's general direction with Fragarch.

“That won't work against me.” Laura yells at you while she throws up her AIC in your general direction.

Shame for her you weren't aiming at her. You fire and your shot sails just where you wanted it, splitting the wire dagger's wire and allowing Charles to get free.

Charles uses the explosion in between him and Laura to pull back and get some distance.

“Thanks for the save John.” Charles says once he is clear.

“Fool, he won't be able to help you.” Laura yells at you just before she fires her railgun at you.

You thrust downwards for the bounce avoiding her fire. You put Fragarch back into the pylon and deploy the Zoisite rifle. The last time you used this was when the terrorists attack you back Stateside, feels very comfortable in your hands. Hopefully you'll be able to to liberate Laura of her bad attitude.

“A new rifle won't save you.” Laura continues to yell at you in between her shots.

“We control the skies so it's time to mix it up.” you reply as you take aim.

You fire the Zoisite rifle, a long beam of red laser traces a path from your barrel past her AIC protection straight to her chest. The Schwarzer Regen shield flares and protects as much as it can before you let go of the trigger. You see Laura's face instantly change to anger.

“You're so dead.” Laura yells at you in anger.

She tries to entangle you with her wire dagger but Charles' fire with his assault rifles knocks them out before they get close.

“Thanks for the cover Charles.” you reply.

“No problem.” Charles quickly replies.

Another shot of your traces itself from her left leg armor across her body ending at her railgun. Her shield is the only thinking protecting her now, too slow to evade you and her AIC won't stop something mass-less like a photon. Charles circles around and fires directly into Laura's back. She turns around as quickly as she can and throws up her AIC to try and stop what fire from Charles she can. Switching modes from beam to burst you fire into Laura's flank. The burst shot fires an intense beam of red light for a split second. The explosion where Laura is obscures her exact location but with you in the air and Charles on the ground, she'll be finished soon enough

“John let me finish her off, I have something special for her.” Charles asks over comms.

"Save it for later, don't waste your good moves on a scrub like her."

>>34853926
Maybe it's a power source or some sort of heat vent?

>>34853885
It looks like what's supposed to happen is that the cylinder rides back when the weapon cycles and picks the next round up off the magazine, which is utterly impractical but technically possible. Two problems are present though.
1: It's a toggle locked action, so the part the cylinder is attached at would not move, so it couldn't actually cycle like that.
2: There's no visible means for how the spent cartridges are ejected on the right side, but stay in on the left.

>>34853940
>>34853926

Possibly the Magazine is feeding the actual ammunition, and the charge fro the Railgun is provided by disposable capacitor batteries that are stored in the cylinder?

>>34853958
Gonna have to admit, I liked the old design better.

Not to mention Cecilia's gravity defying drills.

The way I see it, we're kinda Cap about this whole mess. We believe in the idea of America. We know that the real thing falls short sometimes, but that doesn't make the idea wrong.

Hi, Field Artillery here to explain why that's stupid. That "single shot composed of 2 pieces" is called "separate loading" ammunition. It consists of the round (1st part) and the propellant (2nd part). The big reason it's like this is so that you can load the exact shell/charge combination you need to both hit the target, and get the desired effect. Can you figure out why you would not use separate loading ammunition in a railgun?

>>34854079
(Different Anon here)
Didn't the Soviets use separate loading in their 122mm tank guns?

>>34854113
and americans too, for some guns.

>>34854113
They did, but that's A) Because it was just a field howitzer with the same ammo strapped to a turret, and B) completely missing the point - With a Railgun you can just regulate the charge that is put into the rails to alter muzzle velocity- You don't need separate ammo charges for that at all.

>>34854153
(Yet another anon)
I'm thinking it's combined electromagnetic propulsion + standard gunpowder combustion... but that shit doesn't make any sense.
Not to mention the electric charge might set off the gunpowder accidentally.

>>34854113
>>34854143
Yes. There is one practical reason to use it in a tank, and that's because it's less weight for the loader to have to chuck around. Not really an issue for something self-loading. Plus the reason you don't use separate loading on a railgun is because it doesn't use a chemical propellant charge. It uses this:

[]Let Charles finish her off

“Go for it. I'll provide overwatch and covering fire.” you answer Charles.

“Thanks John, just let me get close.” Charles replies.

Oh he will be using that, guess he wants payback. You see Laura has recovered enough and flies out of the dust cloud.

“Charles, Laura is out and heading away from you to the east northeast of your position.” you relay from your vantage point.

“Got it, just slow her down enough for me to get close.” Charles asks you.

In return to her answer you switch back to beam mode and fire your laser rifle a bit above Laura and drag the beam down to slow her down. In that instant Laura slows down to avoid your fire Charles leaps forward with his left arm ready to punch. You see Laura turn around to face Charles but it's too late.

“I miss at this range.” Charles yells at Laura just before impact.

Charles uses punches straight with his left arm to have the pile driver he has hidden under his shield connect. The sound of a muffled shot rings and sends Laura flying backwards.

Laura barely regains her stance only for Charles to follow up with another attack from the pile driver. Laura is unable to recover from Charles attacks. After being knocked back several times from Charles' pile driver you notice something is wrong.

“Charles pull back something is wrong.” you tell him.

Charles quickly pulls back just to see Laura yelling and wreathed in lightning. Her continued yelling peaks as her her IS is breaking down turning into some sort amorphous blob of black goo. Eventually her screaming stops as she is swallowed up by the black blob. The amorphous blob eventually takes shape into a facsimile of some woman in what looks like an in a Uchigane.

“What is happening?” Charles asks.

“God damn nanomachines son.” you reply grimacing.

You didn't expect this to happen, it was just suppose to be a doubles match.

<Unknown IS system in use> Reinforce prompts. <John I might be able to access Schwarzer Regen's IS systems to try and disable it.> reads the next line from Reinforce.

“Sounds a bit risky.” you reply, “Too many unknowns.”

[]Cut her out, seems like the safest option currently

“No, Reinforce too much risk to you. I will not risk you to something unknown, we are partners after all. We both come back or neither come back, understand.” you tell Reinforce.

<I understand.> Reinforce displays on the HUD.

You suddenly hear an alarm ring in the stadium. “A Level D emergency has arisen. All matches are currently canceled. All guest and students please evacuate.” is announced by the emergency broadcast.

You fly down to ground level next to Charles and ask him, “Charles give me your knife.”

“What do you plan on doing? Cut her out?” Charles asks, obviously concerned over your plan.

“John that plan is denied.” you hear Walken say over the comms, “You will stay in standby waiting for further commands.”

“Charles hand me the knife.” you say as you look him directly in his eyes.

“I'm not sure about this but if you think this will work, I'll trust you.” Charles responds as he hands you his combat knife.

You undeploy your Zoisite rifle and instead to go for an unconventional Caladbolg in your left hand and Charles' Bread Slicer combat knife in the right. You just have to get close. You already see some of the teachers in IS come to contain the matter so you need to act quickly.

“John stop, this is too risky.” Walken says with concern in your voice.

<Sensors have detected where IS pilot is located> Reinforce prompts. <Be careful John.> Reinofrce follows up.

Grandpa said victory favors the bold so you must be doing things right. You quickly boost towards the black IS facsimile, it reacts with inhuman speed and strikes at you. You parry with Caladbolg, just a bit closer. Another strike this time from above and you turn Caladbolg around to deflect away the strike, handy that it's bigger than you are. Now within striking distance you strike with Charles' combat knife just above where Laura should be. You hit the black figure only to have time slow down and a feeling overcomes you.

So, what is this black gook and why is it joining with us? I haven't watched the anime or read any of the mangas so any insight would be helpful

>>34854828
I think the problem here is we got "a feeling". Which is really fucking vague. It could be a feeling that doing it this way will just hurt her more. Considering that Newtype flashes are pretty much the Spidersense, that's the impression I got.

>>34854863
Usually, it's that something bad is going to happen to the person having the Newtype flash.

>>34854845
According to canon, Laura felt despair while being penetrated by Charlotte, so it triggered the Valkyrie Trace System hidden in her IS. (Basically a Berserker System for ISes.)

It manifested by turning her IS into pure NANOMACHINES and becoming one with her.

>>34854898
Lewd.

>>34854898
Cont'd.

I guess it now wants to devour the interloper (us) and drown us in our ideals?

>>34854845
>So, what is this black gook
Laura's German, not Vietnamese

>>34854922
And what are our 'ideals'?

Outer Heaven?

>>34854922
Our ideals are freedom, we are going to liberate the fuck out of her from those nanomachines

>>34854945
Maybe it doesn't want us using friendship, justice and freedom to unite everyone under that banner of stars and stripes?

>>34854983
It want to be liberate.
