IS: And Then There Were Three

"That's easy, since nobody knows that. Tabane Shinonono developed them in secret and continues to refuse to share the information with corporations and governments. The IS was originally developed for use as an exosuit to allow personnel to move around in space, which changed with the Rain of Missiles when an as-yet unknown party gained access to and launched thousands of ballistic missiles from military powers all over the world at Japan...for frankly stupid reasons because honestly, who the hell hates Japan that much? The IS White Knight, pilot and origin unknown, intercepted and destroyed the entire batch of missiles, then proceeded to beat the living hell out of the US Navy, Royal Navy, JSDF and PLAN when they came after her, and finally vanished without a trace. Then the UN passed the Alaska Treaty banning the IS from military use - which, by the way, is stupid since numerous countries including Japan, Germany, America and Israel have been all but explicitly creating military IS units and everybody else is tricking their IS' out as weapons when they really don't need to."

"Well, that was... impressive, you may go." Chifuyu says as her jaw starts to take a nap on the floor.

"yeah don't ask him to explain things." Jon comments .

"There are only 467 IS cores in the world, all of witch are hand made by Ms. Shinonono. Each one contains the power source for the IS. Another fun fact for history is up until two weeks ago only females could operate IS units" Marcus added on

Jeff, for his part, left and returned with the camera, sticking it in Marcus' face. "Say hi to Youtube. Again."

"I feel like this shouldn't be legal but you won't listen to me so HI YOUTUBE"

"Right." Down camera. "Insert theme music aaaaaand..." Up camera, this time pointed at Jeff's face. "Ladiesandcuttlefishyou'rewatchingFlagmauth, here with my first video from the IS Academy in Japan. Marcus has just challenged two of our fellow students to a duel, both of them are A-Rank pilots and the national candidates for their country so this should be funny. Say hi, Huang!" He pointed the camera at Huang, zooming in since she was most of the way across the room.

She waves at the camera with a smile "HI"

"Shoot me now" Marcus says

"I can arrange that" Alcott says

"Don't shoot him now, I need to introduce Alcott." The camera changed focus to Cecilia.

"Hello people of the internet, I am Cecilia Alcott, the candtit representative of Great Britain. I-"

"Can we just start the duel now and just skip all of this?" Marcus asks

"You dare interrupt me!"

"Lets kill him" huang suggests

"Yes, kill me now, can we go to the grounds now?"

"Hold on a second, we've got a full minute for Alcott to talk if she wants."

"Who decides that you?"

"Actually Marcus decided - he put the ten minutes on a timer."

"And the universe continues to make me add more screw ups onto the already big pile"

"I am going to puts this insolant boy where he belongs, Under my boot"

"Well, there you go. Marcus, hope you like boots."

"I will shoot you one day you know this right?"

"I have an IS, come at me. To the arena!" Down camera.

"Class dismissed, we have a duel to watch. " Ms. Chifuyu says and everyone goes to the arena. "Well this will be fun." says Jon.

Marcus goes to the south arena set up along with Jeff and Jon

Alcott and company go to the south

"While I fight and your recording. In the event that I die, put the chariots of fire theme behind me when you post it to Youtube will you?"

"Maybe. Is this a two-on-one or are you two taking turns?"

"I think its a two-on-one"

"I wasn't talking to you, but alright then."

Marcus flies into the arena and the girl were there waiting for him

"If you beg I will make it quick" Alcott promises

"No you won't"

"Aaaaand...action!"
