Chereads / Infinite Stratos: Operation BLAZE / Chapter 37 - chapter 37

Chapter 37 - chapter 37

Two Weeks Later.

Seth, with Akikaze sitting next to him, were on a Shinkansen (bullet train) heading for Kyoto along with the other first years of I.S. academy. Over the last two weeks, Seth learned that becoming the student council president was not just title he earned. It came with a lot of work that was added to his already busy schedule. If Seth wasn't able to make tempest clones, he was sure that it would have been impossible to keep up with his work.

On the moon base, things had advance extremely fast. The mobile suit/I.S./Eva carrier ships [Prometheus] and [Perses] were 50% complete, which was a full month ahead of schedule. The [O.S.E.N.] had begun to develop a Low Orbital Kinetic Impact weapon system or [L.O.K.I.] for short. After Seth had transferred to WILLE, the small P.M.C. had gained a lot of attention. The small number of WILLE personal that were sent to the earth surface and stationed at the former drone factory, now turned into a base, in South Africa received a couple of contracts. They also received a number of applications from all walks of life. Of course anyone that applied had a background check done.

In all Seth's P.M.C. now had 2,000 active operatives and over 5,000 unmanned machines. Seth's next course of action would be to buy more locations to place troops. He could tell that this growth was just the beginning.

While Seth was busy thinking about the future of his personal fighting force, the girls were busy playing a game of cards to see who would be part of Seth's group. Laura was currently winning.

"This shall be my victory." The German girl said as she set up some bait. The person next to go was Houki and she wanted to win badly. She took the card Laura set up thinking it was a bluff, but it wasn't.

"Dammit!"

"My win." Laura stated. Charlotte noticed Seth pulling out an expensive looking camera.

"Seth is that your camera?"

"Yeah, I just bought it so I could take commemorative pictures."

"Commemorative pictures?" Houki asked.

"Yeah, seeing as I'm the class representative and the student council president, my job is to take pictures of the scenery and stuff."

"Wait you're not going to be part of a group?" Laura asked.

"I guess, but Akikaze is coming with me so I guess we're our own little group." Seth stated.

"Why didn't you say anything earlier?"

"This isn't fair Seth."

"Huh, what did I do?" Seth asked as he was puzzled.

"This sure sounds like its going to be a fun trip." Maya said as she was sitting next to Chifuyu.

"Yeah."

"Man I'm so excited to see all the stuff in Kyoto." Natasha said as they were arriving near the former capital of Japan.

Kyoto.

"Alright everyone, we're scheduled to pay a visit to the kiyomizu temple in the evening. Be sure to get there by the appointed time. Understood? You are dismissed!" Chifuyu said as she the group was gathered in the front gate.

"HAI!" The group said as they broke up into their groups. Seth and Akikaze began to move when Maya said to the young parent that a piece of luggage arrived for him. Seth became very suspicious. As he got closer to the luggage he saw it start to shake.

"Fairs? What's that?" Kanzashi said as she arrived and saw the luggage moving. However their questions were answered when the luggage fell to the ground and someone popped out of it.

"Ta da! Mama is here!"' Tatenashi said as she popped out of the suitcase.

"How the hell did she get in there?" Seth asked.

"Onee-chan!" Kanzashi became slightly teary eyed before she started to force Tatenashi back into the suitcase.

"Hey! Wait- I haven't done anything yet! Kanzashi!" Kanzashi was able to force Tatenashi into the suitcase. She threw the suitcase into a nearby mail truck. Thinking that Kanzashi got rid of her sister she left to meet up with her group. Little did she know that the Tatenashi she pushed into the suitcase was just a water clone.

Later that day.

As the day went on. The groups saw many historical Japanese sights such as the Kinkakuji (golden pavilion), Nijo castle, and other such buildings. Samus eventually joined Seth and Akikaze after having lost track of her group. Seth invited her so she wouldn't be alone. The two had a date along with Akikaze joining them. It was like they were a family and it personally made Seth very happy. However all good things have to come to an end.

"Seth! Huh, Samus?" Charlotte said as she noticed the blond beauty next to Seth.

"Hey Charlotte." Seth said. The French girl walked up to Samus and grabbed her hand.

"Excuse us for a moment." Charlotte said as she walked away with Samus.

"Samus, I thought we all agreed that no one was allow to be with Seth today." Charlotte whispered at the former space bounty hunter for breaking the promise that the girls made.

"Well he invited me so I didn't want to refuse." Samus's words shocked the French blond.

"Seth did you invite Samus to tag along with you?" Charlotte asked.

"Yeah, she got separated from her group so I asked if she wanted to come with me and here we are." Seth said. Charlotte couldn't be mad for Samus for taking up Seth's offer. There was no rules against Seth inviting someone to join him. Seth noticed the down look on Charlotte's face.

"Hey Char, want to join us?" Charlotte's eyes lit up with glee.

"Huh? Really?!" Charlotte said joyfully.

"Sure why not." As the group started to walk together they were spotted by the rest of the girls. In order to avoid a messy incident Seth calmed the girls by buying some Japanese sweets. The group headed towards kiyomizu temple as the regrouping time was approaching.

Kiyomizu Temple.

Seth and the others arrived at the temple. They met up with the other students and began to look at the ancient structures. Seth saw a chance to take a perfect photo. He saw Chifuyu and Natasha staring out at the lush orange forest of leaves. The two women heard the sound of the camera clicking. They turned around and saw Seth pointing the camera at them.

"Seth, isn't it rude to take a photo of a lady without asking?" Natasha asked.

"Yes it is, but I would have missed the chance to take this photo while both of you in your natural beauty." Seth said justifying his action.

"Just make sure to give us both a copy later, alright." Chifuyu stated.

"Of course." Seth said as the teachers left. A couple of students noticed Seth taking pictures and they wanted to see what he had taken today.

"Nee, Fairs-san can I see your pictures?" A girl asked.

"Sure." Seth said. Big mistake.

"Hey! No fair! Show me too!" A girl said.

"Me too!" A swarm of girls surrounded Seth demanding to see what was on the camera. In the struggle Seth lost his grip on his camera and it fell down to the ground.

"Ah shit!" Seth cursed as that camera was expensive and was more than likely broken.

"We're sorry Seth." Some of the girls said.

"It's fine. Accidents happen. Hey sis mind watching Akikaze for a bit while I go get my camera?" Seth asked Natasha to watch his son while he went to retrieve what was left of his camera.

As Seth searched for his camera he began to get a really bad feeling in his stomach.

"Found it. Ah crap." Seth saw that the camera was broken. It most likely wouldn't turn on again. He removed the SD card and placed it in his pocket. As he turned around he saw a person standing on a small hill.

"It's been a while Madoka." Seth said as he saw his twin sister.

"It has been Onii-chan." Madoka said.

"So why are you here? Are you here for the deal I offered you?" The look on Madoka's face remained serious.

"Onii-chan I'm here to kill Chifuyu, stay out of my way." Madoka stated her intention.

"Do you really think that you could take on Chifuyu? A better question is do you think I'll let you attack Chifuyu?" Seth said in a serious tone.

"Which is why am here." A new voice said. Seth turned his head and saw his clone in [F.L.A.R.E.].

"You!" Seth said with rage in his voice as he activated [B.L.A.Z.E.]. "I'll take you both on!" Seth said as he brought out his energy blades.

"Are you sure you have time to fight me. Wesker is currently traveling towards test subject 926 for retrieval."

"Dammit, they're after Akikaze." While Seth was trying to figure out a plan, Madoka launched in [Kuroshiki] and flew towards Chifuyu.

"Madoka wait!" Seth flew after Madoka, but Ichika was hot on his trail.

Meanwhile with Houki and Samus.

The two girls were worried when Seth didn't return and had set out looking for him. They were walking down a trail when Samus suddenly jumped on Houki. As Samus pushed Houki to the ground a purple beam hit the forest behind them.

"Houki you alright?" Samus asked.

"Yeah, thanks to you." Houki said. The two of them looked at their attacker and saw Autumn in her [Arachne] I.S.

"It her again." Houki stated.

"You brats, have you already forgotten my name! It's Autumn-sama!" Autumn said as she began her attack. Houki activated [Akatsubaki] and Samus activated [Varia]. Samus charged up her ice beam and fired at autumn. The user of [Arachne] shot the ice beam shot with her beam rifle weapon. It appears that [Arachne] had some upgrades done to it.

Meanwhile with Tatenashi.

Currently above Kyoto, squall the leader of phantom task was looking down at the city.

"Looking down at the town gracefully like this, huh? Rich people sure do things differently." Tatenashi appeared next to her in [Mysterious Lady].

"Tatenashi Sarashiki, the pilot of [Mysterious Lady]. We meet again." Squall quickly activated her I.S. [Golden Dawn] and attacked the Russian representative. "However this time I will be take that I.S. from you."

Meanwhile with the rest of the students.

Natasha was starting to get worried. She hadn't heard anything from Seth or the other students that went after him. She was about to leave the train to go look for him when the doors suddenly closed and the train began to leave. She asked for the train to stop, but they soon learned that it was hijacked.

"Great, what now." Natasha said as she was about to force open the doors, but Tatenashi suddenly called Kanzashi to give them a warning.

"Everyone there is a bomb on that train. If you do anything rash you'll set it off." Tatenashi warning came just in the nick of time. The bomb was most likely set to go off if someone would force open a door or if the countdown reached zero. They learned that they had about 15 minutes before the bomb went off. They started to think of a plan on how to fix this mess, but Natasha suddenly received a call from Seth.

"Seth?"

"Sis, be careful. Wesker is heading your way, his target is Akikaze." Just as Seth cut off the call, something landed on top of the train. Several tentacles bursted through the ceiling. They launched towards Akikaze, but Natasha partially deployed [Silver Gospel] and brought out her energy blades. She slashed the tentacles and they retreated.

"Chifuyu come, we need to defend the students." Natasha said as she deployed [Silver Gospel] and launched through the hole the tentacles created. Chifuyu activated [Byakushiki] and launched through the hole. Rin, Charlotte, and Cecilia launched through the hole to give their support. Outside they saw a blond male in an I.S. unit.

"A man in an I.S. unit?" Charlotte said as she was shocked to see another male beside Seth or his clone in an I.S.

"Albert Wesker, you always appear at the worst time."

"Wait, is this the man that caused Ichika so much pain?" Chifuyu asked.

"It is."

"Perfect. allow me to show you what happens when you fuck with my family!" Chifuyu said as she brought out [Yukihira].

"Such annoying insects. I'll have to make this quick." Wesker said as the lost tentacles regenerated.

Back with Seth.

Seth entered his [Nova Mode] and four nova wings appeared on his back. [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s armor changed from black to aqua and her GN particles changed to aqua as well. Seth's iris changed to black, the pupils turned orange, and a glowing white slit ran down his eyes. Seth created a tempest clone and the clone appeared in [F.L.A.M.E.].

"Deal with him." Seth said and the tempest clone flew towards Ichika.

Seth in [B.L.A.Z.E.], with the increase in speed, he charged after Madoka. As he was about to attack [Kuroshiki] several military I.S. units deployed from several helicopters. However at that same time 40 [S.T.A.R.S.] and [C.O.M.E.T.] unmanned machines appeared.

"Freaking great." Seth knew that the military second generation [Uchinage] units wouldn't last long against the unmanned machines. Seth focused his attention on the unmanned machines. He created two white spheres of energy in his hands and [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s GN cannons faced upwards. The four nova particle beams destroyed 33 of the unmanned machines.

While Seth was dealing with the unmanned units, Madoka decided to have some fun with the military I.S. units. She brought out two odd looking lances and they began to glow pink. The lances fired two large pink beams of energy and were aimed at the military I.S., but [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s bits formed two triangle barriers and blocked the incoming beams. The bits entered attack mode and began to fire a barrage of small beams at [Kuroshiki]. Seth finished the last seven unmanned machines and charged at Madoka. He tackled [Kuroshiki] and began to push her away from the military I.S. units.

"Go help evacuate civilians, I'll deal with her." Seth messaged the military I.S. units. They knew that Kyoto was about to become a battle ground so they had to trust Seth to deal with Madoka.

"Let me go!" Madoka yelled. She pointed her wrist at Seth and began to fire a barrage of bullets from the guns hidden in her wrist. Seth suddenly got an idea. In order for Madoka to listen to him, he had to reach out to her heart. Madoka noticed a strange pattern in Seth eyes. [B.L.A.Z.E.] began to glow red.

"Trans-Am burst!" GN particles began to explode from [B.L.A.Z.E.] and surround the siblings.

Moments earlier with Ichika.

"Dammit this thing again." Ichika cursed as he remembered what Seth's tempest clone did to him last time. He charge up a powerful blast from his arm cannon and fire. The shot destroyed some of [F.L.A.M.E.]'s armor plating, but the lost armor soon repaired itself.

"Damn and I'm the one he calls a freak." Ichika brought out an energy sword and slashed at the tempest clone, however the tempest clone caught Ichika's hand and created a white sphere in its hand. Ichika charged up another blast and the two fired their attack. The beams clashed and [F.L.A.M.E.]'s won in terms of power. The nova particle beam overpowered [F.L.A.R.E.]'s and disintegrated Ichika left arm. From the wound tentacles appeared and they started to regenerate the wound.

[F.L.A.M.E.] deployed her rifle bits and started a bombardment of beam attacks on [F.L.A.R.E.].

"Dammit we're under too much pressure." Ichika cursed as he couldn't figure how to fight back against this constant barrage of beams. While he was distracted Seth's tempest clone charged in and delivered a powerful impact punch. Ichika flew towards the ground and hit it hard.

Meanwhile with Tatenashi.

"Eat this." Tatenashi said as she fired several rounds from her lance's Gatling gun. Squall avoided the shots and began to fire a barrage of yellow energy spheres. Tatenashi moved to avoid the attack, but Squall wasn't letting up.

"Is this really all you have? I'm disappointed." Squall launched [Golden Dawn]'s tail at [Mysterious Lady] grabbing the lance from her hands. She charged in and fired several of those energy spheres. She smacked Tatenashi with [Golden Dawn]'s tail and knocked the former student council president into the river.

"Too easy. Huh, what is that light?" Squall saw a strange greenish orange light coming from within the city.

Meanwhile with Samus and Houki.

"Samus now!" Houki yelled as she was holding autumn in a bind using her swords. Samus switched to her dark beam and fired a charged shot at autumn. Houki moved just in time to avoid the blast. The charged shot caused autumn to slow down significantly and unable to move. Autumn opened [Arachne]'s abdomen and fired a beam, however the girls easily avoided the blast and Houki charged in with her swords. She impaled the cannon in [Arachne]'s abdomen and pinned autumn down.

"Samus, finish her off!" Houki yelled as moved out of the way. Samus switched to her nova beam and equipped her x-ray visor. She located [Arachne]'s core and fired on it. [Arachne] suddenly shut down and the core was damaged beyond repair.

"We need to go help the other. The police should be here soon to take her away." Samus said as she noticed that the other personal I.S. users were in trouble.

"Huh? What is that light?" Houki said as she noticed a strange light.

Meanwhile with Chifuyu and Natasha.

"Dammit, why won't he die?!" Chifuyu said as she landed another lethal blow on Wesker, but their attacks seemed to do nothing to him.

"Look out!" Laura yelled as Wesker created another twelve energy spheres and fired twelve energy beams at the group. They all moved to avoid the beams. Charlotte locked on with [Joan Of Arc]'s missiles and unleashed a barrage of missiles. Rin added to the barrage by firing her [Ryuhou] at Wesker. Cecilia fired a barrage from her bits and sniper rifle. The man in [Tyrant] created another barrage of beams and shot down the missiles, intercepted the shots from Rin's [Ryuhou] and instantly destroyed Cecilia's bits.

"Orimura-sensei I found the bomb. Sending you the location now." Kanzashi said as she finished unlocking the doors and found the location of bomb. Chifuyu ordered Laura, Rin, and Charlotte to find the bomb and get rid of it. The girls quickly found the bomb. Charlotte grabbed the bomb and threw it as far away as [Joan Of Arc] would allow her to. Laura fired a round from her railgun and destroyed the bomb while it was in mid-air. With the threat to the train gone, Kanzashi activated [Uchigane Nishiki] and joined the others in attacking Wesker. Just then the group began to notice a strange light.

"What is that light?" Wesker asked as looked at the light with great curiosity.

Back with Seth.

Madoka was suddenly enveloped in a storm of GN particles. For some odd reason the light coming from the GN particles felt nice and warm. Suddenly a bright white light forced her to shut her eyes and when she was able to open her eyes, she was no longer in her I.S. She was laying on a lush grassy field and underneath a tree.

"Where am I?" She asked.

"You're finally awake." A small boy's voice said. She turned to the source of the voice and couldn't believe her eyes.

"Onii-chan? Why are you so small and where are we?" Madoka asked as she saw a young black hair Ichika standing next to her.

"Well this is a place that was created by our minds and look at yourself." Seth said. Madoka noticed that she was a child again. She didn't really mind, but she wanted to know what Seth meant by their minds.

"Our minds? But how?"

"[B.L.A.Z.E.] and [F.L.A.M.E.] intergrade these special particles called GN particles. They can be extremely powerful weapons, but if its in the hands of an innovator then these particles can expands a person's heart or rather their consciousness."

"Innovator?"

"It something I became in my travels to other dimensions." Madoka's eyes widen with shock.

"Hold up. Did you just say you've been to other dimension?" Madoka asked to make sure she wasn't hearing things.

"I think it would be better if I showed you, but you must know that if I allow you to see my memories, I will have access to your memories as well. Is this alright with you?" Seth asked. Madoka nodded her head. Seth placed his hand on Madoka shoulder and the memories started to flood in. She saw his kidnapping, entering the BSAA, training as hard as he could, entering the I.S. academy, fighting the [Silver Gospel] and awaking his destiny. His first time finding [F.L.A.M.E.], entering Tokyo 3 and fighting against the angels. Seth's return to his world then leaving and encountering Samus. His battles on Tallon IV against the space pirates, On Aether against the ING horde, becoming corrupted by Phazon and his Phazon clone. She saw his clash against WILLE and temporary becoming a god, his battles against the Nova race, his horrible journey through the sprawl and the Ishimura against the Necromorphs. His journey aboard the [Archangel] and [Ptolemaios II] with his mobile suit [Stargazer]. Meeting his son for the first time. His isolation in Skyrim, and slaying the world eater Alduin. She witness it all before her eyes.

Seth saw Madoka kidnapping at the age of four and being forced to train to near death by phantom task. He saw the first time she killed anyone at the young age of nine. He saw how mercilessly they beat her when she did anything wrong. It sicken Seth.

"Madoka you've been through a lot." Seth said.

"Not nearly as much as you Onii-chan." Madoka said. Seth decided it was the right time to ask.

"Madoka, please come with me. I can't allow you to stay with phantom task." Seth pleaded to his younger sister.

"Onii-chan I'm sorry, but that would put you in grave danger. If anything happen to you, I couldn't forgive myself." Madoka said with a slight sadness in her voice.

"Madoka I'm more than powerful enough to protect not only myself but you and the others I love. Please stay with me." Seth said as he hugged Madoka.

"Onii-chan, you can't say such things to a girl if you don't want them to fall in love with you."

"Then fall in love with me and stay by my side!" Seth said as he tighten his embraced. He could feel Madoka's heart start to beat faster and faster. Madoka could feel how strongly he felt for her and how his promise to protect her was true.

"Hai Onii-chan." Madoka said. Soon the world around them disappeared and they reappeared in the sky. Seth and Madoka noticed that there was still fighting going on all around them.

"Madoka I'm sending you somewhere safe."

"What?! But I can help you fight!" Madoka protested.

"Then what, get arrested. Madoka I'm glad you want to help me, but I need you to be safe." [B.L.A.Z.E.] opened up a Shockpoint drive wormhole to the lunar base behind Madoka. Seth pushed his younger twin sister into the portal and sent her to the base.

Seth flew quickly towards the train and the others who were still fighting. He saw Wesker and Squall were fighting against a total of 10 I.S. users and they were winning. Not for long. Seth fired a nova particle beam and hit Wesker dead center and brought out his energy blades.

"Trans-Am!" [B.L.A.Z.E.] began to glow red. Seth charged towards Squall and Wesker.

"Seth!" All the girls yelled when they saw Seth enter a bind with Wesker.

"Deal with the woman, this one is mine!" Seth yelled as he pushed Wesker away from the group.

"Seth wait!" Samus yelled as she followed after Seth. Chifuyu chased after he duo, leaving Squall to fight against the eight remaining I.S. user.

"Just great." Squall knew that she was in a real jam. She was good, but the odds were not in her favor.

Seth started his attack by forcing Wesker out of the bind. Wesker responded by deploying all twelve of [Tyrant] energy blades. He attacked Seth with the energy blades, but in Seth's current state, he was able to avoid the attack with ease. Seth responded by firing two rounds from the GN cannons located on [B.L.A.Z.E.]'s hips. Wesker moved to avoid the shots, but Samus fired several rounds from her arm cannon's wave beam. The shots jammed [Tyrant]'s sensors.

"Wesker I need some help!" Squall yelled over a com-link she had with Wesker. She was taking a real beating and wouldn't last long under this pressure. Wesker was running out of options. He might have to abort the mission at this rate.

Seth saw that Wesker was distracted and went in for the final blow, however in his haste he failed to noticed a black fast moving I.S. Ichika had finally recovered and saw his master in danger. He charged in with an energy blade and Seth wouldn't be able to avoid it and he wasn't in Trans-Am so quantizing was out of the question. He was left with no choice.

"Feim Zii Gron!" Seth shouted and [B.L.A.Z.E.] became transparent. Ichika went right through Seth as if he wasn't there. Everyone who saw this was beyond shock. Seth just broke the laws of physics.

"What the hell are you?" Ichika said as he looked at Seth.

"I'm am the one who is going to kill you!" Seth said as he brought out his GN rifle swords and charged in to attack.

"This isn't good, he's gain even more power." Wesker cursed as they hadn't accounted on Seth gaining new weapons or abilities at his disposable. They would have to retreat.

"Ichika, it's time."

"Understood." Ichika said as he broke off his fight against Seth and flew towards Squall. Wesker had to keep Seth and the others busy until Ichika was ready. Ichika forced the girls attacking Squall to focus their fire on him. As both Squall and Ichika flew to avoid the attacks, Ichika opened a portal and threw Squall into the portal. Ichika made his way towards Autumn's last location and saw several police officers arresting her. He fired several beams that incinerated the officers and freed autumn. He opened another portal and Wesker met up with him. The three of them entered the portal and escape.

"Dammit, they got away!" Seth cursed as Wesker and his clone escaped.

"Seth it's alright, we'll get them next time." Natasha said. Even though they failed to kill Wesker or his clone, no one was serious injured and they failed to capture Akikaze.

"Hey, what happened here?" A voice said. The group turned towards the source of the voice and saw Tatenashi.

"Tatenashi, you're here? Where have you been?" Seth asked.

"I was fighting the leader of phantom task when she knocked me out. I was passed out on a nearby river shore."

"Sarashiki-san you realized that you are in big trouble for coming on this trip when you yourself are not a first year." Chifuyu said. "However based on the recent events, I think I can let this slide, just this one." Chifuyu said as she gave a small smirk. Tatenashi was scared for a moment. She stilled feared Chifuyu's wrath.

Back at the Inn.

Seth breathed a sigh a relief as he entered the room with Akikaze. He was about to start relaxing when he received a call from Ritsuko.

"Seth I need to ask you a question, is this young woman your younger sister?" Ritsuko turned the camera to Madoka who was tied up and blindfolded.

"Yes! Please let her go!" Seth said. Several WILLE guards undid the binds on Madoka.

"I told you I was his younger sister you bitch!" Madoka yelled at Ritsuko.

"I'm sorry about the misunderstanding, but the location of this base must remain a secret at all cost."

"Where am I?" Madoka asked.

"Madoka you're on a base located on the dark side of the moon. No one will know you're there except for me. You're in safe hands."

"Seth I've done some research and according to this, you're younger sister is a member of a the terrorist group phantom task."

"She was forced into it. Ritsuko if you're asking if she can be trusted, she can."

"I see. Then what about her I.S. According to records, the core belongs to England."

"We'll have to find a way to return it and give her one of the new cores we have. Madoka can you please prepare you I.S. for a core transfer. I don't want you getting track by your core."

"Of course Onii-chan."

"Also try to make some friends up there. If you want I could hire you as member of my PMC and they'll become your teammates in the future. So you might as well get to know them." Seth said as he ended the call. Finally he had both his older and younger sister back, but they still couldn't meet. Not until he erased all records of Madoka's crime in phantom task. Seth decided to take a bath with Akikaze in the hot springs. They were on vacation after all.

As Seth and Akikaze were about to enter the men's side of the hot spring, an employee stopped Seth from entering and switched the signs as they were put on the wrong side. He was glad that he avoided a deadly situation. Seth washed his and Akikaze's bodies before they entered the bath to relax.

"Aw." Seth let out a moan of pleasure as he entered the bath and let the hot water work their magic.

"Oh my, are we in the wrong bath?" A woman's voice said.

"It would appear so mama." A younger sounding woman said. Seth's eye shot open wide and saw Tabane naked in the bath. 'Damn she has a nice body.' Next to her was a girl that looked a lot like Laura, but she had two golden eyes and no eye patch.

"Ikkun, do you see something you like?" Tabane said playfully as she noticed Seth staring at her.

"I do, but that isn't important right now. Why are you here, shouldn't you be in hiding?" Seth said and acting mature even though their were two naked women in front of him.

"Well I wanted to relax with my daughter. This is Chloe." Tabane said as she introduced the sliver haired girl.

"Hello. My name is Seth fairs formally Ichika Orimura and this here is my son Akikaze Fairs."

"Hello!" The small innocent boy said.

"Eh? We're both single parents?"

"I guess. Tabane I can tell something else is on your mind. If it's a problem I can help out with, I would be more than glad to help an old friend." Seth said.

"Well Ikkun, since you asked is WILLE hiring?" Seth eyes immediately open with shock.
