Infinite Stratos Plot Bunnies Collection
Chapter 10: Infinite Stratos x To Aru Crossover Challenge
AN: To everyone who reads and has subscribed to my plot bunny collection by following &/or favoriting it, I thank you and wish you all Happy New Year. 2016 was one heck of a crazy year, but rejoice Fate fans it gave us one last parting gift that is Fate/Grand Order: First Order OVA. This chapter is for anyone who's interested in writing a IS x To Aru Verse (A Certain Magical Index/Scientific Railgun) fanfic. It's never been done before, so it's another niche you guys have a chance to fill in the IS fanfic community. It was difficult to write out this idea as I wanted to make Ichika a Magician-Esper hybrid. I'm not sure I mash his magician and esper abilities well, but oh well I done the best I could, and this is the extent of my imagination. Like always I write plot bunnies not in any particular order but with what comes to mind though I do try to organize my thoughts as I write these plot bunnies.
Writing this plot bunny out has inspired my new anime New Year's Resolution â to watch entire To Aru franchise on chronological order. I had been planning to do it a while as I was always interested in To Aru series, but I held off on the seemingly daunting task until today as I came across a Youtube video that help organize the chronology of both Index and Railgun anime by episode in the chronological order. Now my anime goal for the year is seems much easier to accomplish now.
Also tried to come up with a perfect title for my plot bunny but couldn't find the right one. Here's what I came up with for potential story titles.

A Certain Magician Scientist
Plot Summary:
The premise being that Chifuyu fails to rescue him from his kidnappers and he is presumed dead. However Ichika actually survives and is residing in Academy City. Ichika would be assigned the role of one of Academy City's unofficial IS pilot (the official policy of Academy City is they have no IS Core and thus no IS of their own). This is the result of an IS Core being implanted into his body to replace his heart that had been damaged when he had been kidnapped. There were multiple explosions during the battle between the kidnappers and unknown Academy City forces sent to get to him before anybody else including Chifuyu could rescue him. Ichika is an existence closer to the mythical 'supposed to be impossible' Magician-Espier hybrid because of the experiment surgery using an IS Core in place of a human heart to save his life. The miracle of Ichika being a Magician-Espier hybrid is his Esper ability 'Creation's Blueprint' (the Esper version of Shirou Emiya's Tracing and Projection abilities) complements Ichika's potential as a magician as his Magic alignments of his Element and Origin together translate to 'Denial of Nothingness' (to create something - like mana or other forms of energy - out of nothing). Ichika was able to realize his Magic potential as he had something of a magic equivalent of a nuclear reactor â similar to Arthuria Pendragon's Dragon Core - where he is constantly generating mana (to use To Aru meaning of 'mana'). That is why Ichika can power his creations with nearly limitless mana. The IS Core installed inside him works as a synergizing regulator so that Ichika would not have to suffer negative feedback from using both his Esper and Magician abilities in combination with each other. Despite being gifted with powers that spells unlimited potential for those with limitless imagination, Ichika mostly harnesses his power to try to recreate the NP abilities of Heroic Spirits and other Nasuverse characters from Type Moon. The fact that Ichika limits himself to Nasuverse-inspired abilities (though most of it is sword based) suggests that Ichika is a big fan of Type Moon and it shows in the many custom IS units he has over the years.
Story In-Depth Details:
After the IS Core implantation surgery, Ichika was given the option of accepting a magician's apprenticeship from Aleister Crowley, the founder, leader, and General Superintendent of Academy City and one who holds more power than the rest of Academy City's Board of Directors; the greatest magician in history and de facto leader of the Science side. Ichika accepts Aleister's offer as he was ashamed of himself, seeing his own kidnapping incident and the resulting fallout disaster as his own fault. He couldn't stand to see or be near Chifuyu again, not after he had cost her what seemed to be everything at the 2nd Mondo Gross event. Mentoring and teaching Ichika had been an experiment for Aleister to see if he could create another person similar to him who is part of both the Magic and Science world. It works well to the extent that Ichika became a magician prodigy in his own right his Magic Element and Origin together translating to 'Denial of Nothingness' which provides Ichika with enough mana to power his Wishcraft magic. Combine that with his Esper ability of 'Creation's Blueprint' which allows him to 'recreate' anything as long as the means and methods of an object's 'creation' is recognized by and accomplishable by science, Ichika had proven himself a worthy apprentice student and potential successor heir should anything happen to Aleister. It wasn't long before Ichika was shuffled through various organizations and placed in charge of various projects and programs that prove crucial to the continued success and survival of Academy City.
On the Science side, Ichika was a key figure in Academy City's own secret IS R&D program. Using Creation's Blueprint, Ichika was able to eventually recreate and develop his own IS Cores, using his own implanted IS Core as a template. It helped that the IS Core implanted inside Ichika that would be used as a template for Academy City's own manufactured IS Cores is not a numbered Core, but the Prototype Core (aka 'Holy Grail' Core) created by Tabane Shinonono prior to the creation of Core #000 to Core #467. As to how Aleister manage to acquire the Prototype Core to implant it into Ichika remains unknown. Soon Ichika was able to build functional IS Cores even though they were a lower in quality and power than the original 467 IS Cores and could not enter 2nd Shift. However, these 'lesser' IS GEN-2 'Mobile Suit' Cores (or MS Core) had the advantage of being cheaper and easier to be mass produced and be user-friendly, perfectly suiting the needs of Academy City. Academy City's first IS model were the 2nd Generation General Model (GM) and GINN series, Academy City's peer equals to Dunois Industry's Rafale-Revive IS series. Both GM and GINN series were more versatile and flexible IS model compared to the current Uchigane. Japan soon awarded Academy City with a contract worth in a range of multi billion US dollars for manufacturing rights to design their own GM series IS units that would gradually replace and phase out the more limited and soon outdated Uchiganes. Academy City profits off of royalties for each GM model produced by Japan while the GINN model would be retained by Academy City and used to develop the 2nd Generation IS units DINN and CGUE. In time Ichika was able to create the GEN-3 IS Cores known as the Gundam Cores which are said to be equal to the original 467 IS Cores; like the original IS Cores, the Gundam Cores is capable of allowing IS units to enter 2nd Shift. IS units equipped with these Gundam Cores typically have the title 'Gundam' in their names, like the 2nd Generations IS prototypes Duel Gundam, Buster Gundam, and numerous RX-78 and RX-79 'Gundam' models which were powerful prototype models for the GM series. Most of the Gundam Cores would be used in the later Infinite Striker Project, Academy City's Third Generation IS Project which includes multiple 3rd Generation IS models. The 3rd IS Generation IS units developed under the Infinite Striker Project are Blitz Gundam, the autonomous A.I. operated Aegis Gundam, the Gundam Astray Color Frame IS models, and the 3.5 Generation Strike Gundam and its sister unit Strike Rouge Gundam. Ichika would be reassigned by Aleister before the G-Project saw completion, with the recently promoted Major Froleytia Capistrano (AN: From Heavy Object series created by To Aru author) who had been the Captain of Academy City's IS Combat Company Corps taking over as head of the project. Furthermore, under his tenure leading Academy City's secret IS R&D Program, he developed a new training program dedicated to creating the very best IS pilots in the world Academy City could produce; they are called Elites (AN: A term from Heavy Object; an Elite is a pilot that controls the Object).
On the Magic side, Ichika was reassigned by Aleister to deal with the Magic side and its presence inside Academy City and maintain the truce where neither the Magic nor Science side shall interfere with each other's affairs. Since Academy City is seen as Science side territory, that meant Ichika would have to limit, contain, and remove the subversive influence and actions of those from the Magic side trespassing into Academy City borders and becoming either a general nuisance, or worst⦠a credible magical threat to the safety and security of Academy City. Ichika was given great liberties to pursue this task as he saw fit. Expanding his power base, Ichika had started off by forming a special unit within Anti-Skill that would handle anything related to the Magic side, the Magician Hunters. While the Magician Hunters perform their role stupendously in handling Magic related incidents and disasters within or targeting Academy City, Ichika saw the need for integration among various Academy City forces and tighter defense for Academy City, not just on the Magic side but also on the Science side as well.
Ichika's efforts would later lay the foundations for when he would be given yet a new assignment by Aleister of laying down the framework for Academy City's formal military organization and intelligence apparatus that would handle any threat or disaster from either Magic or Science side in defense of Academy City, following the main events and disasters that have occurred in Academy City in Index and Railgun. At some point, Ichika was made the Defense and Intelligence Director (D.I.D.) of Academy City, his post being one of twelve Directorships on Academy City's Board of Directors. One of the major projects created under his D.I.D. tenure was the creation of an clone military force whose sole purpose was to fight, protect, defend, and wage war on behalf of Academy City (AN: Basically the Index/Railgun version of the Clone Army from Star Wars). As Academy City had previously invested heavily in the Sisters (clones of Misaka Mikoto) from the Radio Noise Project and Level 6 Shift Project prior and still had dozens of backup related data on them, it was inevitable that the new Academy City clone army would be made up Sisters. More specifically a new breed of Sisters redesigned and tailored to the specifics needs of the clone army project such accelerated growth and reaching maturity much sooner. Plus, it would be far more cheaper, efficient, and practical to use an existing genetic material that has been tested and proven itself time and again, than risk using someone else's genetic material as the basis of the clone army. The new clone army project termed 'RAIL Soldier Program' was passed and approved of by a supermajority of the Board of Directors despite Ichika arguing against the creation of more Sisters as he himself was a friend of Misaka Mikoto. Ichika would never stop trying to find a suitable alternative candidate so that more Sisters would not have to be made to fight and die for Academy City even though his search has not yielded any results. Soon the formal official military organization, the Academy City Military Command Armed Defense Forces (ACMCADF), became fully operational and Anti-Skill was repurposed as Academy City's main police force and agency. However Anti-Skill and similarly Multi Active Rescue (MAR) would continue to maintain and use military grade weapons and equipment. Around the same time ACMCDF became operational, so to was Academy City's own network of intelligence agencies. The other major military project Ichika approved as the Defense and Intelligence Director was the Collective Solar-Energy Satellite Defense Systems, which included the defensive SLAMS (Space, Land, Air Missile Shield) Satellites used to intercept any ballistic missile strike against Academy City and the offensive Satellite-Based Laser Response Unit 'Etherion'; both satellite systems help contributed to Academy City's victory in WW3 against Russia as they rendered Russia's nuclear arsenal useless in the war and allowed Academy City to strike its enemies far and wide beyond City limits via the many Space Laser Strikes Ichika approved of against enemy targets.
Since Ichika grew up in Academy City most of his life he would get caught up in, play a role, or had a hand in some of the events of Index and Railgun. The IS crossover side would truly begin on the day when Ichika was taking his high school exams, preparing to go to school formally after years of 'homeschooling' under Aleister and various private tutors who taught at some of the best schools in Academy City, when Phantom Task (PT) and its PMC forces launches a surprise attack on Academy City. A PMC carrier fleet had taken over Tokyo Bay and with staunch support from one of PT's IS Squadrons neutralized the nearby military installations in the Tokyo Bay region - Yokota Air Base, Yokosuka Naval Facilities, Naval Air Facility Atsugi, and US Army Camp Zama. With local military forces neutralized, PT and its mercenary forces began their invasion of Tokyo and started pushing towards Academy City. Enemy air forces began their bombing runs on Academy unhindered as PT IS units kept much of Anti-Skill aircraft from intercepting the bombers. Many School Districts of Academy City were suffered the worst of the PMC bombing runs, especially District 2 which served as training areas for Judgment and Anti-Skill, and military-related facilities. Many Anti-Skill locations were hit hardest as the PT intended to eliminate any major Anti-Skill presence before they could have a chance to fully mobilize and counter PT's PMC invasion force. Phantom Task could field many IS units in the battle due to the IS technology Tabane had invented and shared with the world before disappearing, the Core Connection Network. With one CCN system a single 'Core' can operate multiple IS units at once within a network; the downside is that the CCN removes the uniqueness of IS, thus the IS units connected to the CCN cannot evolve or bond with the pilot and are rarely used outside of actual warfare. The maximum number of IS units that can run on the CCN is 24, the total number for a military aviation unit 'squadron'. Academy City forces placed the number of enemy IS units at a total of 48, two squadrons worth of 48 hostile IS units in addition to PT's PMC invasion force consisting of air and ground forces. With PT and its PMC forces quickly gaining ground, Ichika had little choice but to greenlight the deployment of Academy City's IS Combat Company Corps to counter the two PT IS Squadrons and to help Academy City regain control of its airspace.

At some point Ichika had to launch in his own custom IS unit [Heroic Spirit] when it became clear that no other nation is going to come help Academy City. The USA and Japan who were supposed to send their IS pilots and military forces to aid Academy City had not send anyone. The JSDF was still trying to regroup and reorganize to retake the Tokyo region after being hit hard by PT's two IS Squadrons. However, on the US side of things the American forces stationed on Okinawa were ordered to briefly stand-down because of secret deals and conspiracies involving shadowy factions within the highest levels of the US gov't (e.g. the CIA) and Phantom Task with regards who gets a share of the pie from the stolen loot that is precious advance tech from Academy City. While the main To Aru characters assisted Anti-Skill, Judgement, and ACMCDF soldiers and the newly RAIL Soldier Sisters in dealing with PT's PMC ground forces, Ichika had to contend with a team of three Phantom Task IS units on his own.
While Ichika's Creation's Blueprint esper ability allowed him to psychometrically read the IS units his enemies were using, just knowing what they're full capabilities were was not enough for him to achieve quick victory as the PT IS pilots he fought were extremely skilled and tough opponents. In the fight Ichika's mask helmet was damaged, thus it cracked and his face was revealed. His main opponent, Madoka Orimura, then took that moment to reveal herself to him for psychological warfare. Madoka got the upper hand while Ichika was still rattled with the shocking revelation of his twin sister. Ichika had being losing the battle steadily as Madoka and the two other Phantom Task IS pilots ganged up on him. But with the arrival of Misaka Mikoto and Accelerator, the battle starts to turn favorably for Ichika as the two of the most powerful Level 5 Espers in Academy City took on the other two Phantom Task IS units, freeing Ichika up to fight Madoka unhindered as he receives encouragement from them to keep fighting. Using the [Archer mode] of his IS, Ichika was able to defeat Madoka by projecting multiple magically enhanced swords and hurdling them at her, followed by some archery attacks, and initiating [Saber mode] to finish off Madoka with a single sword blast from Excalibur. Although the Excaliblast slightly grazed Madoka as she moved out of the way, its beam of light reached PT's PMC carrier group occupying Tokyo Bay and obliterated most of the carrier fleet. Such a frightful sight forced PT leaders to realize the futility of continuing the attack as their two IS Squadrons had been taken out by Academy City's IS Combat Company Corps and resulting on one CCN captured while their PMC armies fled the battlefield eager to get the hell out of Academy City. Not only that but the JSDF had now fully reorganized and regroup to commence their counterattack. PT leaders finally issued the order to retreat. Seeing one of her fellow IS pilot defeated by Misaka Mikoto's Railgun power and the other one killed by Accelerator, Madoka promptly withdraws and joins the rest of the retreating PT invasion force.
After a hard-fought battle the Academy City side prevailed and won out against Phantom Task. But Academy City still remained in bad shape. Leadership was hit hard as some Board of Directors had been killed or incapacitated in such a way that they cannot resume their duties. Anti-Skill had been hit hard in the initial bombing run and assault of the invasion force that they suffered heavy casualties; close to 60% of Anti-Skill were either killed, mortally wounded, or in critical condition. While Judgement didn't fare as bad as Anti-Skill, they still had a lot of casualties of their own, though miraculously they had fewer deaths compared to the high death rate Anti-Skill suffered from the invasion. Since Anti-Skill had suffered heavy casualties while there were plenty of Judgement members who had survive the PT invasion and their group remained intact, Ichika used his authority to deputize all members of Judgement on as temporary members of Anti-Skill for the duration of the emergency, granting them the same power and authority as actual Anti-Skill personnel. ACMCDF soldiers and RAIL Soldier Sisters were mobilized to assist Multi Active Rescue (MAR) and Judgment in providing emergency assistance and rescue operations while mopping up any enemy force still stubbornly resisting. However, the situation was far from over.
Many of the PMCs captured by Academy City forces were 'little green men' (i.e. alleged retired Russian Spetsnaz). One CCN captured during the battle was traced back to the Vladivostok, Russia, the port city and HQ of Russia's Pacific Fleet. Ichika accuses Russia of being in cohorts with Phantom Task to get revenge on Academy City for their humiliating loss on WW3, while Russia contends that the captured Russian CCN in Academy City hands had been stolen by PT. It didn't help that after PT's failed invasion of Academy City did Phantom Task attacked and seized a major Russian major submarine base located at Vilyuchinsk in in the Avacha Bay and launched submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) at Academy City the very same day Academy City made public its findings of Russia's alleged involvement in PT's attempt invasion of Academy City. SLAMS intercepted the SLBMs and Ichika pushed Aleister Crowley and the rest of the Board of Directors to authorize use of Satellite Space Laser Strikes from Etherion against Russia, more specifically against its Pacific Fleet and Russia's Pacific naval installations. Another World War almost happened again, however cooler heads prevailed and outside intervention from Tabane Shinonono herself helped to prevent further war against the wrong party. Tabane had leaked information and documents revealing the CIA and other shadowy groups and conspirators within the US gov't and military, their ties to PT and their involvement in PT's attempted invasion of Academy City, and their backup plan to set Russia up to take the blame to hide their actual involvement going as far as to hire PMCs from Russia and former Soviet bloc. The leak absolved Russia of the any blame for the PT incident and forced the US to commence a purge against those individuals inside its gov't and military who had any ties or connections whatsoever to PT. America's standing in the IS global community and international stage suffered greatly and it put a huge dent in the credibility and viability of the Alaska Treaty since the treaty itself had been pushed on Japan without its consent by the US gov't.
Both Academy City and Japan pressed the US for proper compensation to pay for the costs incurred from PT's latest attack such as reconstruction and to compensate the victims of the PT attack. At first America proved arrogantly stubborn and pigheaded, refuse to pay any compensation money whatsoever and continued to deny any connection or involvement with PT, even in the face of undeniable and overwhelming information and data leak from Tabane and further evidence collected by Academy City that cemented proof of America's involvement behind the PT attack on Japan and Academy City. When Ichika lead Academy City's IS forces to help the Russians retake the captured submarine base from Phantom Task, they were able to positive ID some American agents from the CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency among the enemy dead. Furthermore, America even had the galls to claim that Academy City violated the Alaska Treaty â which the City never signed and was never a signatory party to, as officially Academy City doesn't have IS Core(s) or IS unit(s) of their own. It was only when Japan threaten to pull out of the Alaska Treaty entirely, Ichika threatening retaliation against America with the full military might of Academy City (namely Space Laser Strikes from Etherion), along with rising international outrage and pressure from the global community finally forced the US gov't to admit its role in the PT invasion. The US had to make a sincere public apology to Japan and Academy City and pay a hefty sum of money in compensation to them worth in the trillions of US dollars. Realistically the US couldn't afford escalate further tensions as it would have led to a war too costly for them to wage and one they wouldn't win. SLAMS ensured that American nukes would never reach Academy City and Japan. Also, the rest of the world and their allies would not lift a finger or say a word if Ichika did initiated retaliatory Space Laser Strikes against the US if the Americans made any threatening moves against Academy City, as entire the world saw Academy City and Japan as victims and America as the reckless, negligent, irresponsible and unrepentant party who is equally guilty for their contribution in the PT attack against the victimized nations by furnishing support to PT to begin with.
It was possible that Russia and China would jump in and get involved if the US chose to escalate things militarily; it was highly likely with Russia as they had a justified cause to do so since the CIA had attempted to pin the blame of the PT invasion of Academy City on them. Even if war didn't happen, refusing to address the rising tensions and bitter feelings of Academy City and Japan in the aftermath of the PT invasion would also a bad move as it would have led to the rest of the world throwing the Alaska Treaty into a burning trash can. Since the treaty pushed onto Japan and the rest of the world by America, it would lose any credibility and standing if the US did not take proper action make correct their mistakes quickly, which in turn would destabilized world peace and stability as any and all IS Core, IS unit, and IS tech would then become fair game in a new IS arms race. America could not afford to have the Alaska Treaty be ignored and discarded and having the current status quo give way to a frightening future of a global IS arms race. Therefore, the US settled for Tabane's negotiated peace by agreeing to all the terms of the peace accords that would be largely favorable to Academy City and Japan. Part of the conditions of the new peace treaty stated that Japan would no longer be burden as the sole financier of IS Academy; every other nation had to pay in their fair share of funding ISA or they won't get any access to the pilots or IS data and information generated from ISA. Furthermore, US forces were evicted from Japan entirely, with Okinawa being under joint control of Academy City and Japan. In exchange, the US now owns numerous huge debts and favors to Tabane as Ichika had played hardball on peace negotiations. Ichika wanting to reap even harsher terms against the US and threatening to continue retaliatory IS and Space Laser Strikes against the US if the Americans refused. It was only with Aleister Crowley overriding Ichika and accepting Tabane's negotiated peace settlement, was peace quickly settled and achieved and the current status quo with regards to IS maintained.
Now after the negotiated peace treaty was signed and ratified, Academy City had other matters to attend to. Namely the huge sh**storm that was the world's reaction to the existence of a male IS pilot due to footage of Ichika's battle circulating worldwide on TV and internet despite the best efforts of Academy City's intelligence agencies to control and suppress all related data and information. The world had questions with regards to what Academy City plans to do with Ichika and what its role will be with regards to Infinite Stratos. Academy City's first response was to do nothing and just resume its sense of normalcy as much as possible while undergoing reconstruction to recover from the incident. Wrong answer as the IS global community insisted that Academy City sign onto the Alaska Treaty and have Ichika to be sent to IS Academy to prevent Academy City from hogging Ichika up. Ichika was strongly opposed to such international demands as he was considered a gov't official since he was the Defense and Intelligence Director of Academy City. In his mind, signing the Alaska Treaty would not benefit Academy City the slight bit, serving to only tie them down, and the benefits of ISA to Academy City was negligible. Academy City had gone on its own path with regards to the IS such as building and designing their own IS units and related tech and having their own IS related R&D and training facilities. Furthermore, thanks to his early involvement in their own IS R&D programs, Academy City could build their own IS Cores while the rest of the world had to cope with the limited number of 467 IS Cores out there, some of which that had fallen into Phantom Task hands. As far as Ichika was concerned, Academy City was doing just fine on its own with regards to the IS and was content with sending one of their Elite pilots to ISA just to shut everyone up in the IS global community for a while. Ichika had more important priorities to attend to, such as managing the ACMCDF and Academy City's intelligence agencies to come up with countermoves and countermeasures against future attacks from Phantom Task. And then there was his extensive search for Kamijou Touma and Index, both of whom were friends of his and Misaka Mikoto who disappeared after the Index/Railgun WW3 story arc.
However, Tabane got involved again as she had planned on using the negotiated peace to get Ichika into ISA so that Houki could see him again. Ichika was wrong if he thought he didn't have to deal with IS related issues for a while after the peace treaty was settled. Somehow Tabane worked out a deal with Aleister Crowley when he had been looking for to fill some seats on the Board of Directors. It turned out that Tabane had been an alumnus of Academy City, which got her some leverage to meet and talk with Aleister about Ichika and his future with the IS. Tabane got a seat on Academy City's Board of Directors and would work on various programs and projects for Academy City, in exchange Ichika would have to attend ISA. This resulted in Ichika's reassignment where he was made by Aleister to reluctantly resign his post as Defense and Intelligence Director, was made Academy City's IS Representative and sent to ISA to finish his 'high school education'. Ichika hated his reassignment as he basically have to repress his magical abilities for when he is attending ISA and wasn't allowed to use his custom [Heroic Spirit], one of the few IS units he that can work well with both his Esper and Magic abilities, out of concern it could leak the secrecy of Magic out to the world. Even though Tabane provided Ichika with the proto-4th Gen IS unit Byakushiki, upon looking at its specs and was dismayed at seeing one sword as its only weapon, Ichika decided to hand off Byakushiki to Academy City's IS R&D Program to examine it for its Fold-Out Armor, the one defining factor of a 4th Generation Infinite Stratos. Byakushiki's Fold-Out technology was used to develop Ichika eventual upgrade IS unit, the 4th Generation Unicorn Gundam (AN: It works really well since Ichika and Banagher Links share the same voice actor).
Instead Ichika opted to utilize a custom Strike Gundam IS unit of his own, the Build Strike Gundam. Ichika chose the Build Strike as it was the most advanced IS unit derived from the IS Strike Gundam - the other being Strike Noir Gundam. The Strike derived IS units were known for its versatility and reliability to adapt to any situation and the constant changing battlefield. The Strike Gundam series had an advantaged that other 3rd Generation IS models did not possess, the Instant Striker Pack Install System (ISPIS). It allowed the Strike Gundam IS unit to use and switch between the various Striker Packs which had already been installed into the Strike. Since each Striker Pack contains its own internal battery unit, a Strike Gundam can just simply switch out Striker Packs when the current one in use is running low on energy, allowing the Strike to remain and engage in a prolonged firefight with enemy IS units, who do not have the unique advantages the Strike has. Plus, this unique feature eliminates the need to reserve or contain numerous Equalizers for each weapon, since one Strike Pack contains numerous weapons and makes the time-consuming process of changing Equalizers outdated and inefficient. The ISPIS was Academy City's first attempt of overcoming the limitations of Equalizers before introduction of 'Fold-out armor' technology invented by Tabane Shinonono.
Ichika would arrive at ISA the same day Laura Bodewig enrolls in. Since this is an IS x To Aru crossover, expect some involvement from the To Aru side for the IS story arcs.
AN: This is as far as I could come up with for my IS x To Aru plot bunny idea. Feel free to adapt and change it as you see fit and if you could improve upon it. I only ask that you make Ichika the main character or at least one of the main characters. Also don't forget to give me credit for the idea or for inspiring you to write this story.

Response to review from freeforall546:
I haven't really explored that far who Ichika should be paired with. In some story ideas I have, when I'm unsure who the official pairing of the story should be or what the romantic dynamic between characters would be like, I usually leave story idea open to many possible pairing routes as much as possible so that I don't accidentally limit my options and choices. I'm unsure which girl from To Aru I would pair Ichika up with, though I would not be lying if I say that Misaka Mikoto first comes to mind. She is my absolute favorite To Aru character and I enjoyed Railgun's story more than Index. Plus, Touma has Index so that is reasons enough though the story execution of pairing Ichika up with Mikoto would have to be done right that it doesn't feel forced. I just don't have that kind of skilled writing necessary to execute it well. In this story idea, I'm very much inclined to pair him up with a girl from To Aru because it would be a lot more original than pairing him up with an IS character just simply because there are already a lot of IS fanfic stories with possible canon pairing. Admittingly, my knowledge in To Aru is limited to Railgun manga, Index and Railgun anime, and whatever information I garnered off Toaru Majutsu no Index Wiki. Tried to watch both Index and Railgun anime in chronological order but kinda stopped for a while due to seasonal anime sort of having higher priority and because life in general. At least I was able to finish the first season of Railgun.
Notice: Hey everyone, CrimsontheKing is back at it again with another story! Just to let you know, I do not own Infinite Stratos or any of its characters. I do however, own my OC that I am using for this story. The OC's name is Connor Alexander Rain, story will be told in a third person style. If you guys have any comments/questions about this story please let me know. Hope you all enjoy Infinite Stratos: Burning Star. Rated M for matureness, blood, cursing. The backstory takes place two years before 'The Gospel' incident and then leads up to after it when everyone comes back to the school. Has no relation to the second season.
Also, just to let some people know thoughts or mental conversations will be like such 'Insert sample text here' and normal talking will be like 'Another sample text' Enjoy the story!
How the hell did he manage to get himself into this mess, one minute he's trying to get his little sister from school the next he has a gun pointed to his head by some government agent. It wasn't as if he knew about them testing for aptitude for IS pilots, let alone that as soon as he got near the damned thing it turned on. He quickly tried to explain that he had no idea what was happening and that he was only here for his sister so they could catch a flight to a tag-team tournament in New York. But did they listen, of course they didn't fucking listen, why would they listen to the second male to ever activate an IS. Connor silently sighed to himself as he was about to put through some very rigorous testing and possible training.
'Fucking bullshit.' Connor thought to himself as the probes that were on his body were finally taken off and he sat up. 'It's not my fault their machine is messed up and decided to activate then and there.' After sitting there for a bit he was then escorted by some suits to a large hanger in which another one of those machines sat, but this one was different. He wasn't sure how, but it was like he could almost feel it. Another suit then stepped out from behind the machine and smiled at Connor. 'That can't be good.' After brief introductions, the suit identified himself to be the head of the IS development in the U.S. and that he believed that they could work together to do something incredible. It was at this time that Connor was knocked to the floor by one of the suits behind him, while the others held him down the one that knocked him down stepped forward with a syringe in his hand. Connor became wide eyed at this and struggled to get free, that was all stopped rather quickly when the syringe entered his neck and everything started to go black.
'Don't worry Mr. Rain, you'll love what we're going to do to you.' The man said and with that everything went black. As it turned out, the stuff inside the syringe was actually a prototype of an AI system that would merge with its host's mind and become a second mind that would assist the host in all things. After a while of being unconscious Connor woke up, feeling like something was watching him he looked around. Seeing no one, not even the suits, he decided he need to get the fuck out of there then and there. After standing up something ticked, 'What the hell was in that syringe?' He soon got his answer as a female voiced answered him, in his own head. 'That would be me, the experimental AI known as Flare. Pleasure to finally make you acquaintance Mr. Rain. Or should I call you Connor?' So in short, Connor's life was now fucked.
All of that was two years ago, since then he has been trained in anything and everything about the IS, trained in multiple types of combats, given weapon training, language training, and finally, training to use the AI in his head to his advantage. Eventually he was given access to a room in which he could stay in without being supervised. He would be soon given an IS of his own that he had designed for the most part, he got a say in color, weapons, and the first form. Other than that, it was up to some genius whom he had never even met. Now, if only this room he was in had a game console or a pc, he'd finally be able to take back his rank as one of the best gamers in the world. Unfortunately, that was not the case, he was just given a basic living quarter with a bed and small desk. 'This sucks, doesn't it.' After time, his AI had adopted to his personality and became his only friend during those two years of hell. She simply replied with a soft sigh as Connor laid down on his bed. 'Guess after I get my IS, they'll send me off to that academy.' He said to Flare, 'Guess you're right. Better not be thinking anything weird!' She said and he simply responded with she'd know if he did. About an hour or two later, he was called to come to the hanger to receive his IS. Reluctantly he did so, dragging his feet as he was tired. As he got to the hanger, his tiredness seemed to fade away as he saw his IS and grinned. It was a dull grey, but that was only because he hadn't bonded with it and activated its first form, and if he had gotten what he wanted he doubt it'd be that way for long. As the main suit stepped up beside him, Connor had started calling him 'Crazy bastard' a few months after he was first brought here. It was a name that stuck and he and Flare had many laughs over it in his head.
'Well Connor, are you ready to go to school?' Crazy Bastard asked him and Connor simply nodded. He was later briefed on the situation he'd be going into. He'd be going to the academy as a first year and was told to act as if he'd never even seen an IS besides the one that activated for him only a few weeks ago, which was when the US released that he had activated an IS, and be the representative cadet for the US. After Connor was briefed he was told to pack his bag and be ready to fly to Japan, his personal IS would be delivered to him later in the day. Soon enough he was on his way to Japan in a private jet and was to say that Crazy Bastard was his uncle and that's how he was in a private jet.
'Kind of bullshit if you ask me, why send us now after The Gospel went rogue and was destroyed. No one is going get anywhere near us.' Flare said in his mind as they flew. She was processing how to make him seem less weird on his first day. 'Maybe that's for the best Flare.' Chelsea font download. He responded tiredly, his sleep schedule was going to so out of whack when he got there.
Ichika and the gang were sitting on the roof enjoying their lunches, talking about today's activities and seeing what everyone was doing after school. Everyone had eventually accepted that Ichika and Houki had gotten together, they had even made a little party congratulating them. Soon the bell rang for evening class and everyone got up and went to their class, Rin went to Class-2 because she wasn't in Class-1, and took their respected seats. That was when Miss Yamada entered and stood behind the desk.
'Well everyone, I have some exciting news for you! We have a new transfer student!' She said as the class groaned and complained about a new student this late in the schoolyear. Miss Yamada sighed and Chifuyu entered the room.
'You kids should learn to respect what your teacher says.' She said as she then slammed a hand on the desk. 'And you will greet this new student with kindness and respect!' everyone silently nodded with frowns as Chifuyu motioned towards the door. 'You can come in now.'
At the sound of the door opening everyone turned their heads to see who would be entering the room. Much to everyone's surprise, Connor walked in with an academy uniform, but instead of the usual red and black, his was only black with a bit of red around the cuffs. Everyone gasped in surprise as he walked in the room and whispers were heard. Connor had styled his brown with red tips hair back before he came to the academy and his eyes seemed almost completely black, he also seemed very tired. He then stood next to Chifuyu as his name and ID card appeared on the screen behind him.
'Hello everyone, my name is Connor Rain. Pleased to meet you. And before I get questions about my eyes, no they are not black, they're just a really dark shade of brown. Andâ¦' he took in a deep breath 'I am the Representative Cadet for America.' At that last part, Ichika, Charlotte, Houki, Laura, and Cecilia all looked like they'd seen a ghost or something. Needless to say, they were shocked. 'Hope we can have a good rest of the year.' With that, Chifuyu sent him to his seat, which was in the very back, and began the evening lesson.
At the end of the class, Chifuyu directed everyone with personal IS to spend some time training while everyone else was to study. With class now dismissed and everyone leaving Connor began to be one of the last to walk out of the room with his hands in his pockets, but he was suddenly stopped at the door by a hand on his shoulder. He looked back with tired eyes to see Ichika was the one with his hand on Connor's shoulder.
'Can I help you?' Connor asked. 'No, but maybe I can help you. Cause if we want to get some training in, we'd better run.' It was at this moment Connor remember that they were the only guys in a school full of girls. He cursed under his breath and looked at Ichika and nodded and the two guys bolted down the hallway as a group of girls had begun running towards them, yelling out questions. 'Flare, I need a quick escape route here please.' Flare then pulled up a map of the building and showed him the quickest path whilst avoiding girls.
After Connor and Ichika got to the dressing room and gotten changed into their piloting outfits they began to make their way to the practice field. Connor was then pulled to the side by Miss Yamada and informed that his personal IS had just arrived and she handed him its confined form, which was a dark red watch. He nodded in thanks and then caught up to Ichika on the field. He then heard an energy cannon charge up and he stopped in tracks, and looked up in the sky to see Cecilia and her Blue Tears aiming her sniper rifle at him.
'Shit.' He thought to himself as he thought about activating his own IS but Flare told him not. 'Perhaps she just wants to talk?' Soon after Flare said that Cecilia called out to him.
'Who do you Americans think you are?' She said as she slowly drifted downwards, her rifle still aimed at him. Connor then looked at Ichika as the rest of the girls began walking onto the field, the only one who wasn't there was Charlotte. Connor then responded to Cecilia, while looking Ichika in the eyes.
'This was a setup, they're going to make you regret coming here by trying to make you feel guilty about The Gospel incident.' Flare said in his mind
'I have no qualms with you, nor did I take any part of The Gospel going rogue, so I don't see why you should be angry at me.' Connor then stopped for a moment. 'Unless you mean to ride my conscience about something my country had no control over. If that's the case, I'm out of here.' Connor said as he turned away from the group and Cecilia suddenly growled and fired at him as Ichika yelled at her to stop. The laser should've hit Connor dead on, but thanks to Flare, he was able to react in time to be spared. He sidestepped the shot and then looked at Cecilia in anger, not only did she attack without reason, if he didn't have Flare he would've just died.
'You really want to do this? Fine, let's do it.' With that, Connor held his right arm out as a red light shown, 'Howl, LoneWolf.' With this, his IS activated and what looked to be almost like the regular training IS's, all for the exception of the wolf like ears and a few other details like the wings on the back looked like two rolled up carpets, the long claws on the hands and feet, and small spikes up the arms with the knees having them as well. Two weapons materialized in his hands, one was a shield while the other was a claymore, and the claymore had a red glow to it. Everyone was somewhat shocked that the American IS unit was rather basic and Cecilia laughed a bit.
'That is what the Americans sent with you to fight third and a fourth generation IS's. Pathetic.' Cecilia said as the rest of the group were getting out of the way of the fight, Ichika sighing.
'Hey, remember who beat the Brits in the Revolutionary War? Oh yeah, it was us!' Connor said in retaliation and Cecilia looked quiet mad at that, calling him many names under her breath before she took aim with her rifle once more.
As the two slowly circled each other Cecilia was getting quiet fed up with this nonsense and decided to get back at Connor for insulting her country. She took a shot at him and Connor smiled, he had waited for her to take a shot before he ducked down and used an ignition boost to get close to her. Surprised by this, Cecilia quickly went to aim again but her weapon was knocked out of her hands by the flat side of Connor's sword, she then used the two missile launchers and fired at him, nearly point blank like she had done with Laura in the past. When the smoke cleared she saw that Connor had put up his shield and used the wings of his IS to block the explosion, he then quickly recovered and took a swing at her, hitting her on the shoulder before she got away.
'Huh?' Cecilia said as she saw that her shield was slowly, yet continuously dropping. She then looked at the piece of armor her had hit and saw it was smoking. Then she looked at Connor who smiled and dashed towards her and this time, bashing her with his shield thus stunning her. While she was stunned Connor then flipped and did an axe kick, landing it on her back and sent her back to the ground where her IS then dematerialized, and she looked at him, fear showing in her eyes. Why was she afraid of him, she was the one who initiated the fight.
He then landed his IS and sent it back to concealed form, before turning around and starting to walk off. Looking back, he say that he friends were rushing to her side to help her. He saw looks of hate coming from Houki and Laura, Rin was making sure Cecilia was okay, and Ichika just stared at him. Connor simply said this as he continued walking away, looking at Ichika.

'Now please leave me alone. I don't want to hurt you anymore than what my country already has.' With that, Connor left the arena went to his room. He had been given the other bed in Ichika's room since they were both guys. Since it was nearly nighttime, and he was still on US time, he stood by the window wide awake. Wondering if they were talking bad about him, maybe even trying to get revenge on him for nearly hurting their friend.
'Why do you care? You're the one who said he wanted to be left alone aren't you?' Flare said and Connor silently agreed. 'Yeah, but I never wanted to be hated. I just wanted to be left alone.' He sighed and looked through what few belongings were sent to him. 'Then why'd you follow Ichika?' She asked. A very valid question, why did he follow Ichika? Was it because he wanted to make a friend out of the only other guy at this school? Maybe it was, but that decision was behind him now, in the morning he was going to be the most hated person on campus.
He then found something that was sent to him and he smiled. They had sent him his saxophone, his one link to his little sister that he had with him at the facility. He then picked it up in its case and went to the roof of the building, Flare bypassing any security alarms he may have tripped. He then got to the roof and assembled his instrument, he hardly ever got the chance to play anymore so maybe he'd be able to play it more since he was free to do so if he wanted. He then put the mouthpiece into his mouth and it made a squeak, he then winced and adjusted before trying again. This time a soft note came from the instrument and he smiled, he still had his touch. He then got out a small speaker and played on loop some soft piano with a bit of light drums in the background. He then took a deep breath and began to play, putting his soul into playing the song. The sounds of smooth jazz fillings the night around the campus, some students wondering where the sound was coming from while others opened their windows and enjoyed the music. As Connor played, little did he know that he wasn't the only sneaking onto the roof that night.
As Charlotte got closer to the roof, the louder the music got and she wondered who would be playing music at a time like this. As she peeked her out of the door that lead to the roof, her jaw hit the floor. She saw the new kid, Connor, playing a soft jazz piece on a saxophone with a speaker behind him softly playing the background. She was kind of scared to say anything, she had heard from Laura what happened today in the arena between him and Cecilia, and she stood there silently. Maybe he was just sent to eliminate any threats to his county by his government when they found out he could pilot IS.
As the background music slowly stopped as did Connor stop at playing. He then set the saxophone in a stand that was made for it and then went to the railing of the roof and looked over it and sighed. He then made a sound that sounded like he was sniffling. Charlotte moved a bit out of the doorway and looked at him and was shocked to see that he was crying with something in his hand. She then heard him say.
'Don't worry little sister, I'll be home soon. And then we can spend a whole week playing video games, getting back up to the top in every single one of them.' He then sniffled as he wiped his eyes, 'So, don't you worry. We're going to get through this, just you and me.' He then said something she probably wasn't supposed to here. 'Maybe next year, if you pass the aptitude test, I can show you all of my friends I've made, though you'd probably just hit me or something wouldn't you, Lily.'
Charlotte then saw what was in his hand and it was a locket with a girl, maybe a year or two younger than herself, with the same color of hair Connor had, but she had these almost crystal blue eyes. And then Connor spoke again.
'Yeah right.' He closed the locket. 'I don't think I'll have any friends here after what I did to Cecilia.' He put the locket away and then slammed his hand onto the railing. 'Why did I lose my cool so easily?! Come on Connor, you know you're better than that. But you just couldn't let it go, could you? Sure, she shot at you, maybe it was an accident. After all, Ichika tried to stop her. If it had hit would she have been sorry? Or would she have smiled in the face of victory after hurting someone from a country whose rogue IS nearly killed her friends? Is it my fault that I'm forced to be here?!' He wiped his eyes and took a deep breath, 'Maybe coming here was a mistake, I mean, after all. I haven't even been able to unlock my first shift, much less the second one.' He then placed both hands on the rail and sighed.
During all of this, Charlotte had gotten closer bit by bit. She knew his words were true, because they were filled with emotion. The same way Ichika's had been when he said she could rely on him. Maybe she should try and reach out to Connor? He seems lost like she was when she had been found out by Ichika. Unsure of what to do, Charlotte started to step forward but then stopped when his head a bit and she could see those dark brown eyes, they looked like they had lost any spark of life they had once held. Connor sighed at her and then looked back out over the academy.
'Come to take revenge for your friend I suppose?' He said with no emotion and Charlotte shook her head.
'I came because I heard your music.' She got a bit closer. 'It was breathtaking.' She could have sworn that was blush she just saw on his face.
'I doubt that, I'm out of practice and I don't really play that often anyway.' He said as a soft gust of wind blew by them, shaking his hair slightly.
'Well, for someone out of practice it was amazing, I could feel the emotion you put into each note.' She finally stood next to him on the railing and he looked at her questionably.
'Aren't you afraid of me after what I did to your friend?' Connor asked, looking away from her.
'Why would I be? I heard the whole spill you had a bit ago.' 'Yep, he's definitely blushing now.' She said looked at him. 'And I think it's sweet you're doing this for your sister.'
'You wouldn't say things like that if you knew the whole story' He said moving away from the railing and grabbing his saxophone and putting it back in its case along with his speaker and stand for his instrument. 'Trust me, my cher, you would be better off staying away from me. It's safer for everyone.' With that, he leaves. Leaving Charlotte on the roof alone, her heart racing. Something about him just made herâ¦. 'W-wait, did he just say my cher?' Charlotte was now blushing and smiling, she then looked out over the school and took a deep breath and said aloud.
'I doubt that it's safer for everyone, because it's not safe for you.' She then leaves the roof going back to her room falling asleep, remembering the he played that music, she smiled.
Back in his room, Connor made sure Ichika was asleep before he came in. Not wanting to face his roommate after what he did earlier. He gently placed down his case and its contents near his bed before climbing into it and trying to go to sleep. It didn't take long and sleep finally found him. Unknown to him though, while Flare had remained silent the entire night, figuring Connor needed some alone time. She had went through the schools systems until found each one of Ichika's group, excluding Charlotte, and sent them a video file to their phones. Little did Connor know is that she had recorded him playing his instrument. Maybe the soft tears falling from his face he played, or the way he played such emotion, maybe she could change their minds about him. When she down sending the video, she made sure that the message came from a user called Flare, instead of some random ones and zeros. Then as she felt Connor falling asleep, she too turned off her 'mind' for the night. Time to see what tomorrow holds.

Opening Song: ãSTRAIGHT JETã by ãæ æã¿ãªå®ãMinami Kuribayashiâ´
Summary of episode 1:
Ichika Orimura (Uchiyama Kouki) is attending the Infinite Stratos Academy and is the first male to pilot an IS and due to this fact he becomes a female sensation of the academy. Whilst in homeroom and being constantly stared at by the other classmates because he is male and his older sister Chifuyu (Toyoguchi Megumi) is his homeroom teacher who is also an ex-IS pilot and he begins to wonder if this is the reason he has not seen her in so long, in his uneasiness he hasnât been able to read the manual that his sister sent him thus she gives Ichika a week to learn it. On the way to his dorm he is excited to find out who is room mate will be and it turns out its his childhood friend Houki Shinonono (Hikasa Youko) whom he has not seen in six years and a national kendo champion. The next day whilst in homeroom it is time to decide who their next class representative will be, most of the class nominate Ichika to be the class representative, however the British cadet representative and noble, Cecilia Alcott is completely against it and nominates herself, saying that there is no way a male IS pilot can beat her, this makes Ichika mad as he mentions that in order to accept this and not insult his male pride he gracefully accepts Ceciliaâs proposal of the IS duel stating that he has managed to beat one of the teachers when he enrolled here. Summary of episode 2: Informing Ichika that he shall be provided with his own personal IS for his match against Cecilia (Yukana), this is considered a rarity since there are only 467 IS cores created by Houkiâs older sister Tabane Shinonono before she disappeared. In order to prepare himself for the upcoming battle Ichika asks Houki if she can train him in Kendo in which Houki gladly accepts. The day has come for the match between Ichika and Cecilia, Ichika is given his IS Byakushiki against Ceciliaâs IS, Blue Tears, however due to this Cecilia has the advantage because her IS is a sniper while the one given to Ichika is a close-range IS. As the match progresses Ichika is able to transform his IS into First Shift, in this form Byakushiki manages to pull out an energy sword. However just as Ichika is about to strike Cecilia, the match is declared over and Cecilia is announced the winner because Ichikaâs energy sword completely drained his IS Shields. Despite losing, Ichika agrees to be trained more by Houki while Cecilia is left unsure of herself despite winning the match and being announced the class representative.
Ending Song 1: ãSUPERâSTREAMã by ãæ¥ç¬ é½åãYouko Hikasaâ´
Ending Song 2: ãSUPERâSTREAMã by ãæ¥ç¬ é½åã, ããããªãYouko Hikasa, Yukanaâ´
The opening song by Minami Kuribayashi was good I feel that it fits the concept of this anime, the lyrics and style of the song is also quite catchy I may even rank this song as one of my favourites this season. As for the ending of the song I was surprised that like quite a few songs this season its sung by the seiyuu voicing his friend Houki i.e Youko Hikasa and by the looks of it every episode a new seiyuu will be added to the list Yukana is the second one. Now onto the song I like it though its a little too upbeat normally for someone so depressing like myself but the whole song is easy on the ears and ends the episode nicely and flows coherently.
Preview: The Transfer Student is a Second Childhood Friend
Personal Opinion:
Personally I am not a huge mecha fan but this series greatly surprised me especially since at first I was only willing to watch the first episode to see what it was like and if I should continue to watch it, however the animation production for this series is to an excellent quality 8-bit really did exceed my expectations and for that I applaud them. Now onto the episodes I like the fact that the whole reason that women are the only ones capable of piloting IS robots quite fascinating then throw into the mix the only male in the world able to pilot an IS makes this anime worth while. For some reason Iâm not sure if you can say this but I get the feeling that this series maybe a harem, if you think about it there is only one male in the entire girl school, to top that off he seems to know the kendo champion because heâs her old childhood friend. Iâm not saying its a bad thing but a lot of the series this term are either ecchi or harem. But in regards to IS I like the reason that Ichika is voiced by Kouki Uchiyama he probably is perfect for the role and his whole portrayal of Ichika was above my expectations I wasnât sure what to think when they cast him as the lead role in this series, Yoko Hikasa voices Houki and even though I donât tend to follow female seiyuu she was the right person to bring Houki to life and for that I am personally growing to like her as one of the female leads in IS. This show doesnât get a full 5/5 marks from me partially because Iâm not a fan of too many tsundere type characters in one series in the first two episodes its obviously clear that Houki is tsundere and in episode 2 Cecilia is tsundere no.2, maybe they have reasons for being that Iâm not sure but due to that Iâm not sure how much more of the whole I donât like you that way but I do like you that way type anymore. Cecilia is the British representative and noble in Ichikaâs class and in my opinion she is way too obnoxious I mean Iâm British but I donât go around saying how much better I am at something, for stereotyping British people as arrogant and obnoxious is also something Iâm not a fan of. Moving on I love how Ichikaâs older sister Chifuyu is his homeroom teacher and how Ichika explains this must be the reason why she hardly used to visit home when she was younger, her personality is rather bad ass she doesnât openly show how much she cares for Ichika but its obvious to the viewers that she does and for that Iâm happy. All in all to sum it up the first two episodes was a real surprise and I will continue to blog this 2 episodes at a time.
Personal Enjoyment: 4.5/5.
