The Grievous IS

The Greivous IS vs The Blue Tear

A Three-way duel between Cecelia, Ichika, and myself was about to begin. Cecilia was mocking Ichika for not having an IS only for her to once again embarrass herself. Realizing she had mouthed-off before thinking again she turned towards me only to see me holding up my necklace, and decide to save what little dignity she had left and walk away.

Emma: Please be safe Y/N!

Gabriel: Yes please don't get hurt!

(Y/N): I promise you both I'll be as safe as I can be.

They both peck my cheeks which surprised me causing a faint blush to appear on me.

(Y/N): Hey that's supposed to be my thing!

Gabriel: Aw look Emma he's so cute when he's blushing.

Emma:  I will cherish this memory forever.

(Y/N): I will get you both for this!

They smiled and went to their seats to watch as I just sighed and smiled.

(Y/N): What am I going to do with those two?

I smiled to myself as I stepped out into the arena. There the entire student body and staff were all seated to observe this fight. Ichika was supposed to be in this fight to, but the instructors decided not to have a three way battle t determine class representative. Well Cecilia is a nice girl, but she has too much pride and lets it do the talking. I'll show her that her pride and hubris will be her downfall.
As I stepped out the crowd was in silence for my IS. Mostly because my hooded cloak kept it hidden. Drama and theatrics are a hobby of mine in battle. Then out came Cecilia in her IS, Blue Tear. It's a sniper model meaning her specialty is ranged combat. This won't be easy, but I'll still win. And while I've been thinking to myself for your entertainment Cecilia was busy going on about how her IS was superior and how she'd easily defeat me I just yawned. But she couldn't see because of the cloak.

Cecilia: Are you listening to me!?

(Y/N): Not really.

Cecilia: How rude! And do you know it's common courtesy to look at someone when there taking to you.

(Y/N): I didn't come here to talk.

Cecilia: That's right you came to lose!

(Y/N): No.

I extended my arms to cast away my cloak and reveal my IS to all students and staff who watched us.

(Y/N): I came to crush you.

I ignited two of my plasma swords as they began to spin 360 in front of me as I slowly closed the distance between myself and The Blue Tear. Cecilia was clearly intimidated though she did her best to not show it. She began firing her rifle at me, but thanks to the advanced systems of my IS and my training I am able easily deflect the shots away, and thanks to the domed shield protecting the audience members I do not need to be concerned where the stray shots go. I'm gonna take my time with this. I advanced towards her slowly, continuously deflecting her shots. With this I could see the worry in her eyes as I closed the distance. She launched her rockets at me then took off into the air to keep her distance. I dodged each rocket though some of them were closer calls then I would have liked. I looked up to see her smirking at me thinking she had already won. Now she decided to use her trump-card. Four drones detached from her IS and came at me. Essentially they were flying guns like her sniper rifle. A neat trick, however, she could only control the drones or her own rifle. They were not autonomous. I was able to continuously rotate my blades to deflect the shots that were coming from four different directions. A good tactic, she knows I won't be able to keep this defense up for much longer. I leaped up into the air surprising her, but not as much as she was shocked when activated my jet boosters and charged at her. This was a gamble, if she was smart and level headed she could easily use her drones to take out my boosters, but my gamble payed off, she panicked and switched back to her rifle with only enough time to get one shot off. She fired, and I shut off my boosters for the brief moment to fall under the shot then started them back up again and my sabers were now in position to finished her off. 

(Y/N): Yield!

I could see the look in her eyes as our faces were maybe a foot apart. She was looking for a way out of this situation. She could control her drones, but this close I would be able to tell and I would end this.

Cecilia: I surrender.  

It was over. We both descended to the ground, when we got there and deactivated our IS's she collapsed. I guess the adrenaline she felt when I caused her to panic had worn off. I picked her up bridal style and carried her out of the arena and to the medical bay. As I walked I was joined by Emma and Gabriel who both looked at me with jealous-pouting faces, I'll need to make it up to them. We made it to the medical bay where I laid Cecilia down. As I turned to walk away i felt a tug at my sleeve. I looked to see Cecilia holding my sleeve. 

Cecilia: W-will you stay with me. 

I just signed and smiled as I sat in the chair next to her 

Emma and Gabriel did the same. Though they still had their jealousies I could tell as we all talked they the two of them were becoming fast friends with her. That made me happy. I am not blind to how they feel about me, but I cannot stand the idea of a desire for me being the fuel of hatred between them. 

I wonder what this next chapter of my tale will bring?
