Punisher: War Machine (Infinite Stratos x Male Reader)

Chapter 7

Your POV

It is now the day after the battle with the unmanned IS. I was still pretty banged up from the fight but not anything I couldn't handle. I asked Chifuyu about what happened to the IS and she just told me not to worry about, and that the problem was taken care of.

Anyways since I had a little time off I was going to hang out with Ichika. But instead he told me he was going home to check on his house and see an old friend. I told I understood and that I'd find something else to do.

It was a little into the evening hours when I still couldn't stop thinking about that IS. I headed back to the arena to see if I find any clues to where it was now. Unfortunately, it looks they cleaned up the area really good.

Me: Micro, you there?

Micro: Yes (Y/N).

Me: How well do your sensors work?

Micro: They can detect anything within a 100 mile radius.

Me: Good. Can you scan the perimeter and look for any trace of the IS?

Micro: Scanning. *Deet* I have found a trail of leaked fluid from the IS. The trail leads inside the school building.

I walk back inside, looking to make sure no one is around. Since the lights weren't on, the area was dark enough for me move around stealthily, if need be.

Me: Where now?

Micro: Down the hall to your right.

After following Micro's instructions, I come to a door. It had a hand print scanner which meant only special faculty was allowed in.

Me: It's locked.

I then hear a click from print scanner.

Micro: Now it's not.

I give Micro a chuckle then open the door. As I walk in the dark room, I can't see hardly anything. I stumbled over wires and other various items on the floor. Then, I see a soft blue glow illuminating from a table. Upon the table, sat the unmanned IS.

Me: Bingo.

As I look over the IS, Micro pops in.

Micro: Sir, you may want to check the computer. We may find some data that could be of some value.

Me: Right.

Still looking at the IS, I see a part that's been covered with a plating. I take off the plate and see a small microchip similar to the one in my neck.

Me: This looks familiar.

Micro: Take it out and hold it in your hand so I may scan it.

War Machine deploys around my right hand as I reach to take the chip. I hold it in my hand as Micro starts scanning it.

Micro: It appears this chip was made in an off site area. Whoever made it knew what they were doing.

Me: Yeah, no shit.

Micro: It appears that whoever made this IS, made it specifically to fight you.

Me: What? Why?

Micro: This chip has recovered data on you and your IS, and sent it somewhere.

Me: Who?

Micro: I couldn't not find where the transmission was sent to. It may have been sent to a competitor of another country. I have many records showing countries of all kinds are always doing that.

Me: Hm, maybe. But why would they go to such length? Why risk almost destroying an entire school? It doesn't make sense.

I put the chip back in the port, then put the plate back on. As I walk out of the room, I close the door behind me and make sure it's locked.
