Part 1 - The three black wings
Music:
Vertical/Turning Point Spring was reaching its end. A lot of events has happened during two months and half after past year's winter.
The city of Multilopolis was quickly overrun by humans known as Adepts. Just when everyone thought that the city was finally at peace...
Suddenly, the whole country...and later the planet itself was overrun by these rampaging people.
It wasn't a interfenre from outsiders...It was a natural event of this world.
The mayor of Multilopolis was nowhere to be seen. Without a leader, the military force was slowly losing ground.
The city hasn't yet recovered from its previous events. When all seemed lost...
A young man wearing purple clothes.
Followed by a man in green armor followed by an army and advanced machines started to drive the adepts away.
It was the Sumeragi Group. A power conglomerate rumored to exist as long as the ancestor families.
However, their power alone wasn't enough, and soon, Multilopolis felt obligated to also unleash their hidden technology. Isolating the city from the rest of the world as being the only place free of the Adept threat.
But nobody knew for how long that peace would last.
Some time later, the Sumeragi Group had created a base of operations in Multilopolis, greatly reinforcing the security.
And now, they were revered as heroes who would hunt the Adepts.
However, things weren't okay for everyone.
It was revealed that a certain dangerous criminal, from way before the Adept Uprising, had escaped.
Rumor said some of his friends helped with him with the escape.
For precaution, Sumeragi declared that almost everyone related to him, even the Ancestor families, would be put into custody, until the criminal was found.
The only groups allowed to be active were the Disaster Corps, due to their ability to fight the Noise monsters effectively
and The Shinra group, due to their conflict with Ouma.
And then, time has passed, the old Noise barrier facilities were remodelled into the boundary system that Sumeragi would use control who would enter and leave the city in order to locate imigrating Adepts more easily.
However, shortly after that, the barrier was a attacked by a group of Adepts who identified themselves as Eden's G7.
They were repelled, but the barrier was disabled briefly during the conflict.
One day later, Nova Shiden Tsukiyomi, one of Sumeragi's high ranking officers, the same one who helped saving the city,
held a press conference ((Turn on the english subtitles))
2nd Division of the Disaster Corps - New Submarine base
Mister Kendo: He really seized the opportunity.
Genjuro Kazanari: Now, people will trust Sumeragi even more.
Kendo: Yeah...This is the state of this world now. We'll cling to the one who seems more reliable.
Genjuro: Humanity will slowly earn their freedom while the Adepts will lose theirs.
Kendo: Mister Genjuro...are we really doing the right thing?
Genjuro: ...Sorry, I don't have an answer for that.
Kendo: I see...me neither...Trusting them or not might heavily impact our future. I wonder what will our choice be...Commander Kazanari.
The man in the oni mask slowly walks away.
Genjuro: I'm curious about that myself...friend...
Kendo:: (Do we...even have to right to decide it?)
Present Day - 3 months after the Adepts rebellionTV News: Today, the Sumeragi's orbital elevator was finally completed. Nova Shiden Tsukiyomi was briefly present during the event. He declared that he needed to return to Multilopolis as he promised to mark presence during the Queens of Music concent. An event that is going to be broadcast to the whole world.
On the topic of live concerts, tomorrow starts the concert of the Sumeragi's Muse, Lu-
Kendo: Hey, Kurosawa!
Music:
Hideout Former Secret Police Trainning Grounds, now known as The Black-White Wings Team, it is a branch of adept hunters who doesn't
posses Septimal power. Some of its members recieved intense combat and magic trainning by a man known as Mister Kendo, a mysterious person who one day, showed up at Sumeragi's Office, offering his services. His services proved to be effective, managing to earn their trust.
Kendo: Enough about watching TV! It's time to go.
???: Go to where?
Kendo: Have you forgotten already? School!
???: What?
Kendo: You heard me right, Kurosawa Saki.
Kurosawa Saki: Master...don't call me by my full name...
Kendo: Daisy and Masato are waiting outside.
Kurosawa: Riiight...I'll go wash my face.
Kendo: Also, you'll be trainning on your own today.
Kurosawa: Because you're going to the Queens of Music with Daisy right?
Kendo: Good thing you remember.
Kurosawa: Well, Daisy is really excited for it. It's hard not to forget.
Kendo: Here is your bag. And have a nice day.
Kurosawa: I will! Thanks Master!
Kurosawa Saki, Daisy Clay and Masato Shuuya are members of the recently formed Team Nero, a group whithin The Black-White Wings Corporation. They goal is of a multi-purpose team that would help not only the Sumeragi group, but other organizations as well, knowing that the adepts aren't the only threat.
Masato Shuuya is the leader of the team, have been trained under the same Shura Arts as Thomas Millard Naash did. He hasn't earned his position for nothing, always being level headed during and outside combat, Masato behaves like an older brother to the rest of the group.
He is usually really polite to everyone he meets, as well as having the will to protect people.
Daisy Clay is a girl who lost her sister during a Noise attack that destroyed the Summer Lydian School. When The Black-White Wings Team was recruting people, she introduced herself with the surname Clay in order to distance herself from her family and hide her true identity. While still struck with grief of losing her sister, Daisy works hard everyday in order to get stronger, having learned the Dark Sword arts of the Violet Shadruss family, which was thought to be impossible for normal humans to learn, much like any art from the ancestor families.
Kurosawa Saki, know as Kuro Kuro by his friends is an orphan who Sumeragi Group put on Mister Kendo's Team due to his capabilities. He has a relaxed attitude with life, but has showed the resolved to protect people during his trainning, earning Kendo's trust. Due to his capabilities with psychic powers however, Kendo is still a bit suspicious that Kurosawa is in fact a guy who was sent by Nova to watch over their movements.
Masato: Good Morning Kurosawa.
Kurosawa: Hi there!
Daisy: You sure took your time Cross...Did you anger the Master again?
Kurosawa: He didn't lecture me for long...also, don't mention my codename out loud...
Masato: Don't worry, despite Daisy's claims, you're just in time. Now let's get going, our first day at school awaits.
Daisy: School huh...
Masato: Been some months since we've went to one.
Daisy: ...
Kurosawa: Daisy? What's the matter?
Daisy: Nothing that matters.
Masato: You had a bad experience at school or something? You can tell us...
Daisy: I already told you, it's nothing important...
She starts to walk faster, not interested in telling them why she was sad. They moved at the same pace, but decided not to ask her anything else.
Masato: (I need something to cheer her up...but what?)
Kurosawa: Ah yes...You're going with Master to tonight's concert, right?
Daisy: That's right...what about it?
Kurosawa: Well...I hope you have fun there!
Daisy: Thanks...I guess...
Masato: (Nice move Cross!)
Daisy: I'm interested in that Maria person actually. I haven't heard of her before, but the fact that she's singing a duet with Tsubasa-san, then it must means she must be really good at what she does.
Daisy: Argh...Now I'm impatient...I want this school day to finish fast now...
Kurosawa: Good to know you're all happy again!
Daisy: Sorry guys...I promise one day I'll talk more about myself.
Masato: No need to hurry.
Music:
Glacial Time Zone After some minutes of walking, they arrive at school. They saw a guy screaming at the top of his lungs at the gate.
???:
ALRIGHT, THIS IS MY LAST WARNING, IF YOU DON'T SHOW UP RIGHT NOW, I'LL STORM IN AND TAKE YOU BY FORCE! AND IT'S NOT EVERYDAY I CHOOSE TO ENTER A SCHOOL!!!
Masato: Um...Sir?
Random Student: Seriously...When he will stop?
Random Student 2: My eardrums hurt...
???: YOUR TIME IS RUNNING BLUE BOY! YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID TO MY BOS-
Masato: Mister...Are you...
Daisy: You're in the way!
Suddenly, Daisy kicks the screaming man in the back, launching him foward some meters.
Masato: Um...Daisy...
Daisy: He was being noisy...
???:
WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?
Daisy: Can you just shut up! You're causing trouble to the other students.
???: What trouble I'm possibly causing? I'm just here after someone...
Daisy: Your screams...
???: Heh! That's just the way I am! If you want to pass a message, you have to be intense about it.
Daisy: Sigh...I don't know what I was expecting...
Kurosawa: (It's okay to demonstrate enthusiasm...but he's taking it too far...)
???: But anyway, that was a strong kick there little girl! Maybe we can go for a quick bout before I go after my target.
Masato: If you don't mind me asking...Who is your target?
???: The guy who took down my boss...His name is Hugh Maxwell Black.
Masato: That name...
???: You know him mate?
Masato: Not personally...Master told us that he went for college outside the country.
???: FREAKING WHAT?
Daisy: (This guy just won't tone it down huh?)
Masato: So yeah...You're out of luck my friend.
Kurosawa: Who are you anyway? Part of some gang? I think I heard that this Hugh person used to beat up a lot of thugs...
???: Yeah that's right, And I'm here for payback...But now I'm more interested in that dwarf over there!
Daisy: Seriously...Fine...I'll put you in your place if it will make you shut up!
???: Bring it on midget!
Masato: Daisy wait!
They charge at each other, but suddenly, some kind of tornado briefly forms between them. Inside of it, was the President of the Student Council.
Music:
Earth & Sea
President: What's all this ruckus this time of the morning?
Daisy: *stops* Huh?
???: HAAAAAA!!!
Suddenly, the thug is throw to the ground.
???: WHOA WHAT?
President: Stop right now.
Kurosawa: (You already stopped them.)
President: (This girl reacted fast and stopped before colliding with me...unlike this man...)
Masato: I'd like to apologize for the behavior of my friend...
Daisy: No need...I started it after all...I'm sorry...It won't happen again...
Daisy: But it depends on him.
President: Oh, you must be the new students.
Kurosawa: Yep! Hope we're not too late since Spring is nearing its end.
Renath Orion: Welcome to the New Lydian School, My name is Renath Orion, the school's student council president.
???: Can I get up now?
Renath: Right...I'm sorry...
???: Geez...Not only this girl, but you too? Man, I'm sure going to have some fun beating you guys u-
Renath: Are you perhaps...Mister Glen Montoya?
Glen: Wah? H-How did you know?
Renath: Simple...You're that one person that never came to school since it started...We're close to summer and you haven't showed up once.
Glen: WHAT? T-This can't be right...who put me...
Renath: Who else but your parents? It seems that lack of attention is unfortunately a bad trait of yours...
Glen: Guh...
Renath: You guys can go, I have some business with Mister Montoya back at my office.
Daisy: (So he's not a street thug, just a deliquent...)
Kurosawa: Roger that! (Sorry...Don't want another guy, specially someone close to my age lecturing me...Master Kendo is good enough...)
Masato: It was nice knowing you Mister President.
As they finally enter the building, they check what class they are in.
Kurosawa: !!!
Daisy: Oh yeah, you lived in an orphanage, right?
Kurosawa: Y-Yeah...Never been to school before...There's just...this overwhelming air.
Masato: That's just the students voices.
Kurosawa: Oh...Really?
Daisy: I imagine that there was a lot people at Sumeragi too.
Kurosawa: Really?
Daisy: You don't know?
Kurosawa: Well...Maybe I've never payed attention to it.
Daisy: Hmmm...
Masato: Ah! There are our names.
Kurosawa: Neat! We are on the same class!
Daisy: We probably won't be able to sit near each other though.
Masato: Nothing bad about that. It's a great opportunity to meet new people.
???: Huh? I know you guys.
Suddenly, a girl wearing the Old uniform of the Lydian school approached the group.
Masato: Yes?
???: That masked freak sent me a photo of you three.
Kurosawa: Well...He is kind of intimidating.
Yukine Chris: (That's not what I'm talking about, but whatever...) I'm Yukine by the way.
Masato: I've heard of that name from our master. Nice to meet you.
Kurosawa: Are you here to guide us around?
Yukine: Not really...actually...
She looks both ways. Seeing that nobody was around, she spoke in a lower tone.
Yukine: I just got a phone call from the old man...we got a mission kinda far away from here.
Masato: Old man...are you talking...
Daisy: Old Man Kazanari.
Yukine: That's the one...and the idiot is coming with me too.
Daisy: I'm afraid I don't know that one.
Yukine: You'll know when you see her. Oh well...Guess I'll guide you there if you want...
Masato: How considerate of you.
Yukine: D-Don't thank me...Now move it up!
They arrive at the classroom.
Yukine: Sorry If I'm interrupting something...I've bumped into the new students and decided to bring them here.
Teacher: You're just on time. Everyone, these are the new students that will be with us for the next days.
Masato: Greetings!
Kurosawa: Hi there!
Daisy: Hey...
Yukine: I'll be going back to my class. See ya.
Teacher: Thank you for bringing them here...Now, why don't you introduce yourselves?
Kurosawa: The leader first.
Masato: Alright. My name is Masato Shuuya, I hope we have a great time together.
Kurosawa: I'm Kurosawa Saki, how is it going guys? You have to bear with us for the rest of the yeah! Hehe!
Daisy: My name is Daisy Clay...Nice meeting you.
As soon as they heard the name Clay, some of the students started to gossip for a bit.
Random Student: Hey, she just said Clay right?
Random Student 2: I bet she did something bad that she regrets about it.
Random Student 3: Is she the only one in this? Does her parents on the Clay thing too?
Random Student 4: I'm kinda scared...
Daisy: ...
Music:
Divine Protection of the Crystal
Hibiki Tachibana: Nice meeting you guys! You too Daisy-chan!
Daisy: Eh?
As Hibiki spoke that, the entire class stopped gossiping, most of them stunned at how Hibiki was being so friendly with someone whose surname has such a bad story.
Hibiki: I hope we get to talk a lot!
Daisy: R-Right...
Teacher: Well then...Now that we are all know each other, Mister Shuuya, sit close to Miss Haruka.
Masato: Yes.
Kaede Haruka: Right here.
Teacher: Mister Kurosawa, you sit by Tiara's side.
Kurosawa: Who again?
Tiara Silva: Here! Right here!!!!
Kurosawa: Hi there!
Teacher: And Daisy...you...
Miku Kohinata: Teacher, there's a vacant seat over here.
Teacher: Percect, Daisy, you can go where Miss Tachibana and Kohinata are.
Daisy: I'm...Ah yes...Teacher, you didn't tell us your name...
Teresa Brimm: I'm Teresa Brimm by the way.
And so, class begins. Daisy was quiet most of the time, but she was enjoying her time with Hibiki and Miku. She was exactly as how Mister Kendo described her. Masato payed close attention to class while Kurosawa dozed off from time to time, but Tiara kept him awake.
Kurosawa: Sorry...Am I being a bother?
Tiara: No, not at all.
Kurosawa: Maybe I should sleep early again...since this is going to be routine for now on...
Tiara: Well, Do your best!
The hours passed, and soon, class was over. Hibiki left early due to the mission Yukine talked about.
Masato: Today was a great day.
Kurosawa: Glad you enjoyed it...
Masato: Something the matter? You didn't sleep well last night?
Kurosawa: Yeah...something like that...
Masato: I see...Will you still join trainning today?
Kurosawa: Maybe...
Music:
Breaking through the wall However, as Team Nero was about to leave, a familiar voice screamed at them.
Glen: HEY! LITTLE GIRL!
Daisy: You're still here?
Glen: Thanks to you, I have to study in this school for the rest of the year...
Daisy: It's not that bad, I'm sure you'll be needing the education....Also, how is it my fault?
Glen: Had you not kicked me, I could've escaped that President easily!
Daisy: I'm sure he would've kicked your ass had I not kicked you there...but someone had to stop your screaming.
Masato: Daisy, we better get going.
Daisy: You're right...No use trying to speak with a completely hopeless idiot...
Music:
Shield of the golden castleGlen: Oh, that does it...I'm crushing you like a tin can!!!
As Glen lunges at Daisy, she summons a wooden sword. She holds it in reverse grip, then does an upward strike.
Daisy: Inferno Divider!!!
Glen: ARGH!!!
The move came way too fast for Glen to react, he was hit and thrown to the ground.
Glen: Heh...not bad kid...
Daisy: You can still stand up? You're tougher than you look.
Glen: Endurance and strenght are what I'm good at, no matter how many times you hit me, I won't fall so easily...now I wonder if you can survive my next strike.
Masato: Daisy...at least finish this fast...
Daisy: Alright, guess I'll go on a little harder on him...
Glen: Brink it on, LITTLE GIRL!!!
Daisy: My name is Daisy!!!
Glen lunged at Daisy once more. His steps felt like the ground was heavily shaking. He was confident that one hit would defeat her.
Glen: Take this! GOLEM PRESS!!!
Daisy: !!!
From Daisy's perspective, Glen's fist seemed like it was growing to an enourmous size, giving the impression she couldn't escape no matter where she dodged.
Daisy: I see...your strenght is certainly intimidating.
He connected the punch, but Daisy sucesfully blocked it.
Glen: What the...how...
Daisy: You're surprised...just because I stopped your attack for an instant?
Glen: Eh?
Daisy: Too late! Your loss!
Using her speed, she backs off from Glen's fist, making him lose balance, then immidietaly, the hit a knee strike, lifting him on the air.
Glen: (She's...so fast...)
Daisy:
ALPHA DRIVE!!! With one last strike, Daisy knocks Glen back to the floor.
Daisy: So...is this enough for you?
Glen: Argh...
Daisy: Heh...So much for someone who was confident on his own endurance...I'm going...
Glen: Must you really...go so soon?
He struggled to stay on foot.
Glen: This is the first time...Someone gave me...this much trouble...What's your name...Little girl?
Daisy: I already told you...It's Daisy.
Glen: I see...I'll remember...that name...I'll admit defeat for today...If I keep this up...I'll be trounced in no time...because it looks like...you've been hiding even more power.
Daisy: Can I go now? I have a live concert to watch today!
Glen: Since my target isn't here anymore...Guess I'll have to focus on surpassing you. I'll forget about my revenge.
Daisy: (Only NOW you're forgetting about it?)
Glen: Next time...I'll be prepared...
He closes his eyes, aparently fainting while standing.
Kurosawa: Whoa! I didn't even knew that was possible!
Masato: I'll have to admit that his fighting spirit is superb...He just needs a good teacher and more discipline.
Daisy: I doubt anyone wants to train him...
As they walk away, Daisy bumped into someone.
Daisy: Ah...Sorry...
???: No worries!
Masato: Wait...you guys...
Kurosawa: Team Bianco!
Music:
The Battle for the dream
???2: There you are.
???3: Hello again.
Team Bianco, an unit from The Black-White Wings Team formed with the purpose to hunt dangerous adepts. They were placed under the command of Sumeragi's General Jota "The Prideful Silhouete".
Mort Shesper, The team's Leader, he supports his partners using magic spells. A man that shows no mercy in battle as he always aims to clear them with efficiency. Despite his introverted and intimidating personality, many people respect him and his achievements.
Claire Sights, the younger sister of Cornelia Sights, she was aiming to help in guarding the mayor, but after his dissapeareance, she decided to work for Sumeragi. She recieved the same trainning as Daisy, but opted not to learn any elemental style in particular, sticking to the Lilly Yellow family style of dual-wielding. She is the quiet type of the team.
Jemy Elliot, an old friend of Jasper Blue Tsurugi, he underwent a similar trainning, but he opted to use his fists rather than using a sword. He was out of the country for some years, but after the Adept uprising, he decided to return to his birthplace in order to help out, and to also awaken old muscles. His fighting style relies more on strenght, but unlike Glen, he has focus and reaction speed to back it up. He is known as the Violent Dragon, as he's known not to show restraint during battle, but he always make sure his opponents comes out alive from fights against himself. He's the oldest member of the group in age and has took a liking to drinking. He's the opposite of his teamates, being very extroverted.
Kurosawa: Hey! Welcome back guys! How was your mission at Osaka?
Jemy: It sucked...
Shesper: We cleared the mission without trouble, as expected.
Jemy: That's why I said it sucked...Not even enough to sober me up.
Claire: Anyway, we came here to get you three.
Kurosawa: Neat!
Masato: How considerate of your guys.
Shesper: Don't get me wrong, we're only doing this because Master Kendo told us to. We really don't have time to babysit rookies.
Jemy: Now Mister Mort, I know you're tired from the trip and all but...
Claire: Get too comfortable and you'll get too soft.
Kurosawa: As always...an example of cheerfulness...
Masato: But still, thanks for the ride, we really appreciate it.
Shesper: Let's just go.
Daisy: Very well boss, doing it right away if you insist so much!
Shesper: Hmph...
And so Team Bianco takes Team Nero back to the base in the van.
Kendo: Welcome back Team.
Kurosawa: We're home Master.
Shesper: We would like to stay more, but we have yet another Sumeragi related mission.
Kendo: I can imagine what its going to be...to protect the Cyber Diva, Lumen Morpho "The Muse" in tomorrow's concert, right?
Jemy: You nailed it boss.
Claire: But worry not, after that, we will be free for some time.
Kurosawa: Can you guys tell us more about your mission?
Jemy: Well...Sumeragi suspects that QUILL might attack tomorrow night, so they are taking extra precaution by contacting us.
Daisy: Why would they do that? Just because she's Sumeragi's property doesn't mean they have right to destroy it! She's just an artifical singer, right?
Music:
Forest of treasuresShesper: You don't know half of it...
Masato: Hm?
Shesper: That's all we have to tell you about the mission...Now if you excuse us...
Daisy: Hey wa-
Kendo: Good luck on your mission.
Claire: Thanks master.
Jemy: We'll clear this one as well!
Shesper: See you soon.
Team Nero departs to their mission after saying their goodbyes. Daisy was perplexed with Shespers remark about QUILL's attack on Lumen's concert.
