Ashley - ' And this is the last pile. '

Minna looks at the pile like it killed her parents. I play with the frills on my new "uniform". The joke me and Eila played was not well received with some members. So we both had some kind of punishment. Minna had gotten the bright idea to dress us up for the week. Eila now has to wear bunny outfit. Well, Im wearing one of those sexualized french maid outfits.

After a day of getting used to wearing it. I tried acting as a maid for Minna. The next morning, I walked right into her room, set her change of clothes and then walked over to the curtain and opened it.

~~~Flashback~~~

Ashley - ' Good morning, my lady. It is time for you to wake up. '

She slowly got out of bed still confused on whats happening. I walk over to her with comb in hand and brush her hair. After finishing that I dress her. At that moment is when she became conscious of what was happening. She paused and gave me a look.

Minna - ' Ashley. What are you doing?'

Ashley - ' My lady, Im only carrying out my duties as your maid. '

This caught her of guard and her face lit up before a slight amount of blood drips from her nose. I wipe it off with a handkerchief. And finish getting her ready.

I open the door for her to leave her room and to start a day full of work.
I follow one full step behind her to her right. I did my usual work but added a flair of being a maid to it.

~~~present~~~

As I was close to the door, I hear 3 people talking and coming closer to the door. I look back over to Minna who is just finishing up her work.

A knock on the door before it open I open the door and let them into the room.

Ashley - ' My lady is just finishing up some papers and she will be with you shortly. Make yourselves comfortable on the sofa. Any preference to beverages? '

Sakamoto just looks at me with dead eyes. Minna looks up to see who came into her office. She see to women on from Fuso and the other caucasian.

Fuso girl - ' Ill have tea. '

Caucasian women - ' coffee black, is smoking okay in here? '

I glace of to Minna and she nod her head.

Ashley - ' Yes, I'll fetch a tray and drink right away. '

I leave the room and make my way to the kitchen. I quickly make tea and coffee. I find the ashtray unused in a cupboard. I set everything together on a serving tray and go back to Minna's office. All of them seem to be in a deep conversation. I silently place the drinks and the ashtray down. I stand behind Minna about one meter away.

Minna - ' Yes, introductions. This girl dressed as a maid is Ashley O'Neil from Faraway Land. Ashley you know who these two are right? '

I look towards both of the new girl sitting across from Minna.

Ashley - ' Yes, Captain Beurling and Flying Officer Anabuki. Both witches have an "excellent" reputation. '

As I said that Beurling's eye twitches and Anabuki looks troubled.

Minna - ' So, you know how strong they were then? Is that why youbasked for them to come help train and give pointers to the girls? '

The two newcomers look at me shocked as they thought it was Minna's idea for them to come.

Ashley - ' Would you like me to prep the striker for them, my lady? '

Minna looks embarrassed that im still putting on the play. She nods

Minna - ' Please do. '

I bow and smirk knowing I managed to overlook the fact that one of them can't fly any more. I make my way to the hanger and start working on spare units we have. I managed to find an old hurricane mk 2 B variant and an old zero model.

After about 3 hours I finish up adding a Battery but I make sure that the unit would break after some time due to large amount magical wear. The witches that retired deserve to rest.

I close the panel on the Hurricane and turn around to see everyone already gathered. They are all looking at me.

Minna - ' You do know Beurling can't fly right? '

Ashley - ' Of course she can, I finished modifications to allow the unit to store magic. But I couldnt figure out how to stop the wear that the modification would cause. Both Captain Beurling and Flying Officer Anabuki are able to both fly and use shields for the amount of time of 2 average dogfights worth of time. '

I look at everyone, they seem really shocked and like they lived a lie.

Ashley - ' Shall we get started. Ill stay on the ground to monitor the units as you two use them. After the first flight please tell me of any discomfort you may feel and how these unit feel to a normal unit. '

I notice Beurling walk over to the hurricane and rub her hand along it.

Beurling- ' Your sure I can fly again? '

Her voice was weak, she could hardly believe she can fly again. I walk beside her and put my hand on her shoulder.

Ashley - ' Yes, you can fly in the beloved sky once again. '

Beurling - ' Thank you. '

I turn around and make my way over to the others.

Ashley - ' Flying Officer Anabuki, can you and Captain Beurling show us the fighting strength of the progenitors of the joint fighter wings. '

She nods her head and makes her way to the unit I left out for her. She equips the unit and you could clearly see on her face when it first power on that she felt strong. Beurling seeing that also equips hers. A sad smile creeps across her face. As her unit bursts to life, roaring ready to fly.

I open the hanger door to allow the two to take off. As the door finished opening they zoom by me like they are having a race to see who can go faster.

The fight they showed left us all star stucked. Legends both cliped of their talons or wings, now with them once more they take flight.
