Judment's End

… There's more? That was what most thought.

-There are still a lot of smaller things in it that make it a Fourth Generation, but they are better explained later else we would be here for hours.

-Behind you are seven disks and an "Obelisk", I call them "Judgment's End". Cool name right? You will see why in a sec First the rings, they have two modes: Booster mode and active mode. Well, three if you count that they can stay deactivated now. Anyway, in their activated mode, they can do some things but they focus on the opponent while the booster focuses on yourself and your allies.

-In this mode(Active) the Rings, simply named CD's(Cloud doors), can create what I call "illusions" holographic projections of yourself to confuse enemies, it can fool most sensors and the ones that are able to differentiate who among the projections is the real you won't be able to do so unless they get relatively close. But remember, the projections can move at the same speed as you, meaning, by the time they realize something is wrong the Projection will have pierced them.

-The projections can also shoot some energy beams and materialize an energy spear. But all of that comes from the ring's internal battery system that can be recharged mid-battle or you can draw energy from them.

-What about the other mode? Simple. It can change shape to be bigger or smaller in order to fit you through it. You heard me right. By passing through a set up ring you can get a boost in speed, not only you, but everything that passes through it. Iniciatialy I wanted this mode to do more but I didn't have the time.

-One mode makes projections the other is just for speed, you got that?

-But finally, we arrived at the end. The so-called Longinus spear. A self-propelling giant metal spike. It was made to have maximum penetration power. But how do you use it? You just throw it obviously. But not before putting multiple rings in succession so that it achieves its maximum speed hitting the enemy like a meteorite. If you do everything right it shouldn't be that hard to have it hit speeds over Mach 20, but the problem, in this case, is that the rings have to be put on top of each other meaning you can only shoot in a line.

-After that, it's up to your enemy's luck and ability. It wastes a lot of energy though, that was why I made the spike in a way so that it disperses all of its energy upon hitting the target, in order to try minimizing the damage on the spike itself. But it can only be shot once or twice in battle, since the amount of energy it consumes is… Big. You start the battle with one loaded shot though. It's the next one that consumes all of it.

-I talked about the overall abilities… Ohh yeah the weapons system…

-Seiichi… What did you make? Asked Kona

-Nothing special, just a normal electromagnetic pistol. Its damage increases when you are moving at fast speeds. Since it was made to be shot at high speeds.

-But now… Its weaknesses.

-Its armor… It's trash. Not "trash", it's better than many others but from what I could make, it's like paper. If I were to compare I would say you have around an average second-generation defense, and your IS is supposed to be Fourth-generation

-The second problem, yourself. The Tsukanoma no Yume is so fast that a human can't keep up with even some of its basic maneuvers. That's why I used an entire slot just to put in some heightened sensors. Training and experience will make you better at using it but I doubt you would ever be able to use its maximum speed(everything together).

-The third, constricted spaces, to move at high speeds you obviously need a lot of space, so a smaller arena will heavily constrict your moveset.

-Fourth, Heavily armored targets. One of the reasons why I made the Obelisk but that doesn't remove this weakness completely. Most of your attacks use high speed coupled with high penetration. But if the target is too heavily armored then you won't be able to pierce it. you will need to set up everything first before attacking and that takes time. You know what I mean.

-I left a manual saying everything you need to know in your room so go read it later.

-Okay. Wait, how did you enter my room?

-My work here is done. I said while sitting on a chair.

-We can talk about this later now, go test it Ko-chi!

-Tomorrow. Said a heavy voice.

-You can't test a IS like that in the middle of the night, wait till tomorrow for the mechanical team to take a look and you can make a test run later. Is that okay for you Miyoshi, Koyanagii? Said Chifuyu

-Okay.

-Fine by me...awwwn I need some sleep now. Let's take a picture and eat the cake so that I can crash on my bed.

-Kona. Dematerialize your IS.

-...How do I do that?

-Just call it back. Wish for it, order it, whatever you are more comfortable with.

She recalled her IS and it became a pair of metallic feathers that can be put on her hair

-It's a bit heavy, but I can make do.

After taking many memorable photos from many different perspectives, I went to sleep.

... There is only one major thing I didn't say: It's a special one-of-a-kind ability. Ichika's IS has one and Houki will have one as well. Some IS users also have it, normally appearing on users that had gone through the second shift. Meaning, their IS evolved.

In the shower, I thought about my entire progress so far.

I am close, very close to the true Fourth generation Units. No, In a sense, I've already surpassed it. The only reason I don't put mine above the ones in the series is due to the fact that I never saw a true fourth Generation. But everything shall end when Houki receives her IS.

During these months I put my knowledge to the extreme with a question: What if I push this to the limit?

I tested this with all sorts of things. Kona IS is a modified version of the results from the: What if I bring an IS speed to its limits?

The reason for these tests is so that I can understand my current level. If I were to rank myself, then it would be: I am capable of creating an extreme fourth generation but I can't make an all-rounder. At least not a normal one. I would have to make it bigger and heavier, only when I can make it small will I be able to make a true fourth-generation IS.

So, back to the drawing board, I still have a month. Houki`s birthday is on July 7 so her Personal unit is going to appear on that day as a gift from her sister.

I have less than a month… I can't finish my main IS, I will have to accelerate some things. Let's send a clone to Luxemburg early to prepare.

{Are you sure? When you start your plan the world will most likely react violently. They currently treat you as a child genius but you aren't in any way a threat to them now.}

At this moment the world's superpowers must be receiving the information about me making a 4 generation IS. I don't have much time left before they act. It's best I take the initiative. And if things go bad we have some energy to spend, right?

{I wanted to have at least 10 times the amount necessary to travel before we go but… Yes, we can leave if needed.}

Then it's fine.

At a round table somewhere in Japan, a group of people were waiting on the chairs for someone.

-The president is here. Said the secretary on the door.

Everyone got up and went to meet the old woman that had entered the doors.

-Now now, don't be like this everyone. there is no need to be so tense.

A man wearing a white military uniform with many medals said:

-My only concern is that this ends just like DR. Tabane Mrs. President. The rest of the world will soon ask for answers, and we need to choose our side.

-What is there to choose general Maito? Another good citizen has been created in our nation and you already want to push him away like last time?

-It's not like that, Mrs.President. Last time it was Tabane who left us after the incident, leaving us to deal with the aftermath of her creations. I know she did that out of displeasure due to our requests for her to weaponize the IS but this time…

The general was interrupted.

A woman with a black dress said:

-This time the other countries aren't going to let us have another genius and surpass them. They will ask for his creations in the name of "peace" and reading his files, it's unknown what his reaction to that will be. We also can't let him disappear like Tabane. If this happens again then the tension with other countries might become too much.

-Heh. They shat on their pants when they found out that their national security had been breached by a single person. If another person capable of that appears and then just disappears, they are going to go crazy. Said a woman wearing a loose shirt.

-Last time they were hit right in the face when Tabane showed everyone what an IS is capable of. We included. Our stupidity cost us military supremacy in the world. And looking at just how no one managed to decipher the core yet we could… Said a tall muscular man.

(They can't confirm if it was her, but it's pretty obvious. but again, there is no proof whatsoever. One of the reasons why the pilot of the white knight was never found. Remember that this event was 10 years ago, so she was 14.)

-We could do nothing, as that is a situation of the past. Said the president

-Now we stand on a thin line between our national interest and possibly our country's second-greatest genius. We already know what a single talented genius can do so let's not make the same mistake as underestimating them again. She said.

-But although he is capable, making a fourth-generation IS while most countries are only in their third-gen prototypes, this isn't enough to call him a second Tabane. I understand your worries but… The woman in the black dress was cut this time by a rather average-looking man. But his position was nothing but average. Director of the IS academy Juuzou Kutsuwagi.

He disappeared some time ago only leaving the management, at least on a superficial stage, to Tatenashi Sarashiki and Chifuyu Orimura, and some other capable staff only appearing to make some announcements from time to time.

Only an extremely capable man can become the head in one of the most important places in the world, a world dominated by the IS, that can only be piloted by women.

The man just put some files on the table and said:

-Why don't you all read this and tell me if he is comparable to Tabane?

-You all controlled Tabane for most of her life, and with her Japan became the world's leading nation in technological development. But when Tabane came with her idea of a space exploration suit you guys just scoffed at the idea and left her with some funds. After a few years, she was what? 12 years old? Then a few years later she completed her research and what did you all do? You swiped her invention aside.

-When the white knight event happened and you guys realized what was created, she had already left. Now another genius appears and you guys are yet again skeptical. Read the file and make your decisions, I am not going to argue any more than that. I will only say one thing:

-Genius of this level can only be secured by people of the same level. Don't think about controlling his family as we already committed that mistake with Tabane and you all remember the result. Unfortunately, the only genius like that in Japan is Tabane, and she is untraceable, her sister is interested in another guy and he doesn't seem too keen on getting a relationship nor is he stupid enough to fall into a honey trap.

-My idea is simple. Give him what he needs and at the very least his opinion about Japan will be better than the other countries. Think, if all of the countries just want to exploit him but we give him space to work and develop his ideas… We should be able to reap a part of them easily without effort and conflict. We shouldn't have any problem in the long run.

The president then said:

-But for your idea to work we need time and a way to resist the pressure from the other countries. We can't just put a lot of pressure on a child hoping he can keep up with the entire world in IS development.

…

Everyone had finished reading the files, it read: Mainframe analyses of Student number 19XXXX over the period of half a year and its predictions.

The General had a serene look on his face when he said:

I...

/I also never really explained what is a fold-out armor, so here's the wiki explanation

The Fold-Out Armor enables the IS to configure itself to a form optimized for various roles, such as attack, defense, and mobility in an instant. When fully optimized, the performance of the particular IS can become twice that of normal status, if not more.

This makes the 4th Gen. IS capable of performing various assignments just by switching its function in real-time, thus removing the time-consuming process of changing Equalizer(Weapons/equipment)

The one main drawback of the Fold-Out Armor is that it rapidly consumes the IS's energy. This makes it difficult to deal with in situations where it needs to be continuously used (such as high-speed racing)./

And what did you guys think of the IS concept? Nothing similar appeared in the series, but I tried my hardest to show just how superior the Fourth generation is to the Third. It's literally better in every aspect. So I don't have an image... I am trash
