New Allies

I jogged along the track outside with Kikyo and Yumeji. The fell back to run beside me and I looked at them. I smiled and nodded then they smiled back at me.

"Okay ladies! That's good enough! Break time!" Orishi called out then noticed Yusa walking towards her. "What's up?"

"We've got visitors coming later today, so I need you to come with me with Squad VI and the Student Council. It's a visitor I don't want here, but it's mandatory." Yusa sighed.

Orishi crossed her arms and looked at her. "Who's coming?" She asked then rose an eyebrow.

"Yonaka Yoshimura and Yae Kanbayashi." Yusa said.

"And why are those two bitches coming to St. Fraskia? They are our enemy. Having a common enemy doesn't mean shit to me. They aren't our allies and never will be." Orishi said.

I walked over to them and looked at Yusa then Orishi. "What's with the serious faces?"

"Just Yusa...giving into pressure like she always fucking does." Orishi rolled her eyes.

"I'm doing what I can to protect all of you!" Yusa combated Orishi's statement. "You always do this shit when I make an important decision."

"Because your decision making is complete shit! Do you think I would say anything if you made actual good decisions, goofy?" Orishi scoffed.

"I don't see you making impactful decisions." Yusa glared.

"Oh I wonder why. Maybe it's because you no longer tell me shit?" Orishi said and looked at Yusa.

"Alright ladies. You've been friends for a long time. There is no reason for you two to be arguing like this. Yusa, what did you do?" I asked.

Yusa looked at me and sighed then crossed her arms. "I contacted Yonaka to form an alliance with the Valkyrias."

"Why?" I asked.

"That's what I want to know." Orishi said.

"H-12. H-12 is the 12th clone of you Hisumi and a perfect clone. He's got your abilities down to a tee and even more features. Not only does Judgement have a clone of you that can do everything that you can, but his Power Level is Extremely High. Liao Ru levels of high. EX-A Rank high." Yusa said then handed me a folded piece of paper from her pocket.

I unfolded the piece of paper and read it.

Name: H-12 (Hisumi Ishida)

Age: 19

Sex: Male

Type: Attack

Combat Level: 3

Power Level: 1,400

Rank: EX-A

Battlesuit: Dark Nebula

Core Strength: High Physical Damage, Quick Strikes, Dark Element User

Weapon: Katana - Blade of the Fallen

"Type? What's an Attack Type?" I asked.

"There are Four types: Attack, Defense, Support, and Balance. The Attack Type Valkyria has high attack power but very low defense. The Defense Type has very high defenses, but very low attack power. The Support Type has very high stamina and endurance, but have very low attack and defense with the trade off that they can heal all allies and themselves as well as recover faster than Attack and Defense Types. Balance Types are extremely rare as they are even in all three other types. They can use all abilities from the other three types." Orishi explained.

"Since he's an Attack Type means he's got overwhelming attack power and that could prove to be fatal." Yusa sighed and crossed her arms. "This requires me to finally step into the ring and fight. Judgement is beginning to become too powerful now that they can clone."

I looked at the paper again and closed my eyes. I exhaled then looked up at them. "That means we need to train even harder to even be able to stand up against H-12."

"Yeah. It only gets tougher from here. If you want to prove you're ready for revenge, prove yourself here at this academy first then we will see if you're truly ready to face off against Judgement." Orishi nodded.

"True Judgement. True Judgement consists of Morata, Kioshi, Yumi, H-12, Seihachi, and your step mother...Hikaru Ishida." Yusa said.

I nodded at them and folded the paper back up then hurried over to my friends.

"When are they supposed to be here?" Orishi asked.

"Around 5 PM. They will be arriving via their battleship, Andromeda." Yusa answered then looked at me and my friends. "I understand you believe this is a terrible idea, but you read the rest of the data with me before training them. You understand how much of a threat Judgement is to us now. The entire world. I refuse to allow them to gain more power and to stop that we need more allies."

"Allies that we can trust. We can't trust Midnight Corps nor anyone affiliated with them. Why not call the LIONS or reunite the World Mark?" Orishi looked at Yusa.

"You know the LIONS situation with the betrayal of Silent Fox and the disappearances of Ieyasu and Nicholas. The World Mark..? We buried that organization in the deepest pits of hell. After they learned I had sex with Seihachi, they all betrayed us. Sovereigns forbid that we find them again." Yusa looked away a bit. "All we have left is the Squad VI of the Fraskia Assembly. The Squad that you lead."

Orishi sighed heavily then closed her eyes. "Alright...I'll give this a chance, but only because you're my closest friend. We've been through thick and thin together. I won't let anything get in between our relationship even if you do suck at making decisions under pressure." Orishi smiled at Yusa.

"Fuck off." Yusa smiled and felt Orishi pat her shoulder then watched her walk off.

"Alright ladies! Let's get right back to it! Move it! Move it!" Orishi said then blew on her whistle.

Yusa smiled at us and made her way back into the academy building.

The evening hit and I made my way back to the academy after walking Orika home then noticed a large black and red battleship in the air. I walked towards Orishi and Yusa.

"What the hell is that?" I asked.

"That's Midnight Corps's Battleship, Andromeda." Yusa answered and watched the battleship slowly descend to the ground.

I looked back at the others seeing Sayoko, Yumeji, Kikyo, Saito, Liao Ru, Misao, and Ambrosia. I noticed two others standing beside Ambrosia. I turned back towards the battleship that landed on the ground. The doors opened and two women walked out of the battleship.

Yonaka Yoshimura was the first to walk out. She had blonde hair and silver eyes. She wore a tight black coat with streaks of gold, a short black cape, brown leggings, and dark colored boots. She smiled at us then looked at me in specific, interested in me. Orishi and Yusa noticed then glared.

Yae Kanbayashi walked out after Yonaka and she had me blushing. Her appearance was sickening sweet and she just looked sexy all around. She had long brunette hair and beautiful dark red eyes with a very sweet smile that seemed to never leave her face at all. She wore a black rose eye patch to cover her left eye for whatever reason. She dons a maid outfit with gold accents. She wore a frilly headband with black angel wings on each side. She wore lace gloves that really went with her outfit and wore dark leggings and black heels.

"Who's that..?" I asked, tugging on Orishi's sleeve.

"Yae Kanbayashi. 20 years old. She's been trained to be an assassin by Yonaka since she was a little girl. Now she serves Yonaka as a maiden and is her trusted best friend. Attack Type Valkyria, A Rank, Battlesuit is named Black Rose, Weapon is named the Angelic Thorns...she is truly a stunning woman. A stunning woman of deceit." Orishi glared. "Don't let her appearance-"

"Hi, my name is Hisumi. I think you're very pretty." I said quickly, shaking Yae's hand.

"...fool you." Orishi finished her sentence then sighed.

Yae smiled at me and giggled softly then looked into my eyes. "Thank you. You're more beautiful than what I thought you were going to be..."

I looked at her and blushed more. She had a breathy voice and it sounded very seductive. I squealed on the inside and let her go quickly then hurried back over to Orishi and Yusa. Saito watched and frowned a bit, feeling a bit jealous that I was gawking over Yae the moment I met her.

"Seems like our best allies have become acquainted so we can skip the introductions." Yonaka smiled.

"It appears so. Now onto our alliance...we are going to do this shit my way...old friend." Yusa glared.

"Old friend?" I asked.

"Yonaka used to be a member of the World Mark, but she betrayed me when she heard the news of me and your father. I'll never forgive her for doing such an act.." Yusa glared.

"And yet here I am. Teaming up with you once again. I find this interaction as a way for me to apologize. We do have a common enemy and us working so closely together, it would be like the old days..~ Hopefully you don't go behind our backs again and have sex with someone else from Judgement." Yonaka moved her eyebrow and smirked.

"You little.." Yusa growled then Orishi grabbed her shoulder.

"Listen...If we are going to be partners again we have a few ground rules to settle. One of them is Hisumi isn't gonna be your little guinea pig. I know about your fascination with her, I'm also sure you know about her too." Orishi said.

"More than one could know. You shouldn't worry about me using her as a guinea pig either. I'm more interested on why she betrayed Judgement, but then again betrayal does run in the family it seems." Yonaka smiled.

Yusa's left eye twitched slightly in annoyance. "If you want to fight then just say so because I have no issue beating your ass here and now." Yusa said.

"By all means I'm always up for a good brawl..~ We can finally see the difference between us two and settle who's the strongest lance user once and for all. My new lance named the Midnight Astra will be able to pose a threat to your Divine Weapon...Shining Duality." Yonaka said.

The tension between the two was very high. Even Yae felt a little uncertain about this alliance, but she stepped forward.

"Yonaka if I may. We haven't come here to battle it out. We came for an alliance with you to become Valkyrias. We already prove to be very skilled in battle. Excuse Yonaka's bluntness please." Yae bowed and kept smiling.

The way she presented herself was just so perfect and too good to be true. She was the perfect woman and just looking at her made my heart skip beats. I had to get to know her more. I needed to get closer to her. Saito watched and grumbled lowly. Misao noticed and smiled. She knew Saito had some competition aside from Orika.
