NGE: the fleet of the fallen

CHAPTER 3

i learned that the fleet was separated for only nine months here, the built an entire city in only nine months, which was ungodly impressive, but i also learned something, i had sent all of my servants along with the colony fleet as added protection, much to their protest, i learned that my girls grew rather kinky in my absence

the my dragon servants took one my peerage servants as a mistress of sorts, and they are constantly holding competitions against each other something they want me joining, and honestly i liked the idea of doing so

"your joining us master" hinata asked i nodded

"sounds fun" i said

"oh it is" ichigo replied she rather enjoyed this form of fun especially when hers was sakuya

"so what are we doing today" i asked

"cavalry battle" sagiri replied, my eyebrow raised

"sounds interesting" i said

"we use dulled swords for cavalry battles generally we have a few broken bones by the end of it, battle doesn't end until the mount is knocked over or the rider is thrown off" kyoka said i nodded

"are we doing this with dragon forms" i asked

"nope, where's the fun in that" daphne said

"right, who am i getting" i asked

"whoever you want, you can ride any of us, you are our master" kiriko said, i nodded

"alright then, hmm" i said as i looked over my girls

"asuka" i said, she gave me a vicious smile and nodded, like all of them she had absolute faith in her master, but then again she knew him the longest

"right the cavalry battles are generally four V four, so the rest of us get to draw straws then pick our mounts" erza said as i nodded

my team included myself and asuka, kiriko and satellizer, winter with pyrrha, and hinata with yūgao

our opponents were kyoka and himari, aishela with tsunade, akeno and rias, and xenovia and irina

the riders were all given dull, practice blades which we tied onto our hips we then saddled our chosen mounts

"remember this is just a friendly game don't get too rough" guila said who was acting as referee as we all nodded

"right then mount up" she said and we did so, i looked at asuka, and smirked and as i threw myself onto her back, shifting myself comfortably in the saddle, asuka could tell her rider was enjoying this

"draw your swords" guila said as we did so, my right hand holding the blade as my left held the reins

"AND GO" she called as i flicked the reins ordering asuka forward

the ensuing fight was a a mitigated disaster, but perhaps one of the most fun things shinji has ever done

"TIME" guila called as me and kyoka had our blades clashed together, at that himari at kyoka's urging backed off

"to avoid hurting our mounts we have timed matches" kyoka explained as she dismounted himari, i followed suit dismounting asuka

"after each four V four, names are redrawn but previous mounts don't have to participate if they choose to take a breather, it's also encouraged for riders to pick different mounts as it encourages team building" aishela said i nodded, my understanding at that

"of course you are the master here if you want to participated in every match you are more then welcome to" kiriko said i nodded

"i think i'll do one more round" i said

"who would you like to ride" guila asked

"hinata" i said, she nodded her head, happy to carry her master

"interesting choice, but a good choice, despite not being a dragon hinata is still quite strong and should give you a better chance at victory" sui-feng said, i nodded as hinata helped asuka out of the saddle before asuka helped hinata into the saddle, tying the gag into place in her mouth she handed me the reins which i took

slots were drawn again this time it was me and hinata, our teammates were sienna riding weiss, sagiri riding yuuhi, and tier riding orihime

our opponents would be salamandinay riding akira, rukia riding nemu, daphne riding cassandra, and ichigo riding sakuya, i smirked at the last pairing something ichigo saw and smirked back at me

"are we ready" guila asked the mounts nodded their heads, and the riders followed suit

"very well then, riders mount up" guila called as we all mounted

"let's do this hinata" i said she growled her assent, causing me to smirk

"READY, GO" came the call as we attacked, this was less of a disaster then the first fight but it was still a huge disaster, this time though it didn't go until time, mostly because cassandra was quite hesitant despite her rider's urging, i dismounted hinata and walked over to the two of them, holding out my hand

"come on get up, you belong to me so no matter what, i will always care for and protect you" i said, she looked up at me and smiled as she took my hand and i pulled her to my feet

"you and i can train together if you like you just have to ask, that goes for all of you" i said to the group, who looked quite proud to serve their master

"who came up with this idea anyway" i asked, kiriko raised her hand

"i did" she said, i looked towards her

"step forward" i told her, she did so prostrating herself before her master, i placed my foot on her head

"Do not get cocky, kiriko, i am the master here, you have no authority over anyone i have recruited into my service do you understand" i asked

"yes master" she said, she knew he was teaching her and them a lesson

"while i may have approved of this idea, i may not approve of the next, next time you will come to me first, understood" i asked

"yes master" kiriko replied as looked towards the others

"understood" i asked them all

"yes master" came the reply

"good, kiriko since this was your idea, your punishment will be to carry me around for the rest of the day, saddle her" i ordered, the group nodded and did as they were told

"from now on i expect the dragons to get fair treatment to the riders, are we clear" i called out

"yes master" came the reply

"good" i said as i mounted kiriko

"let's go, you seem to need some exercise kiriko" i said she moaned her agreement, as she started to move forward
