To those who loyally read my work, I thank you for your time. I was encouraged to post this story by you and my older sister who patiently awaits to be able to read this. She's already seen the story plot of this one and she states that it's going to be one of her favorites. I hope the same will apply to you guys.

Oh and one more thing, this story is actually a crossover with Kingdom Hearts. I don't like the crossover setup because it's too confusing for me so I just put it in the normal setup on the dominating games story section. Curious on how that mix up is going to work. Keep reading and find out. All characters with the exception of the protagonist and her parents belong to Namco Bandai Games and D3 Publisher's God Eaters Burst Game. Along with Square Enix and Shiro Amano's Kingdom Hearts series. Enjoy.

Enlisting the Silent Blessing

In this world, the monsters called Aragami have taken over the lands. They devour indiscriminately, destroying mankind and their cities, forcing the remaining humans to huddle together in enforced cities, as they rampage through the world. No one knows where they came from or how they came to be. All the humans can do is fight and hope for their survival. The few who can fight against the Aragami's Oracle Cell regenerating process are humans with Bias P53 Factor enhancements, wielder's of God Arcs, the God Eaters. Each surviving city has its own Branch, under the organization called Fenrir, of God Eaters that is run by a Director to supervise their Aragami control and extermination of the area.

They continue to fight for the survival of the human race. But only a few can meet up to the credentials to be a Gods Eater, so they have to grab everyone that they can who does meet the credentials to fight against the Aragami.

And somewhere in Japan at this time two God Eaters, a tanned young man with platinum hair and blue eyes hidden under a blue hood jacket and the other one a tall man with wild black hair and green eyes sporting black attire, walked through the Outer Ghettos to find the match for a New-Type Gods Eater hidden among the many sections of the Far East Branch.

"Why do we have to do this?"

"Hey, these are direct orders from your old man so quit your complaining Soma." Said the man to the young man in the blue hood.

"Shut up! That bastard is no old man of mine." The one called Soma sneered at his older partner.

"Haha, whoa, scary. What ever you say sir."

"So what exactly are we collecting?"

"You mean who?" He corrected. "Apparently, it's a candidate for a New-Type Gods Eater."

"What's his name?"

"Her."

"What?"

"It's a her. And her name is Megumi Sato, Age: 17, lives in Sector G42, and graduated Shijo Gakuen High School." The green eyed man said, looking over the file he was given from the Director.

"She lives in G42, that place is like the Bermuda Triangle. Not only does it house many historic buildings, like Shijo Gakuen High, that hasn't been destroyed by the Aragami but has had the lease Aragami attacks. Many Aragami entered the area, but they all disappeared before they can do any damage."

"It says here on the file that her parents were former older model God Eaters. Maybe they've been keeping the Aragami away."

"You know that Gen is the only survivor from the 1st generation of God Eaters."

"That we have recorded. Most likely the ones that survived wanted to be left alone after the modern God Eaters came into play. Wanting out of the business they disappeared off the chart."

"Hmph, come on Lindow. We won't find her just randomly walking. Let's ask around."

They continued to walk around, to their surprise a lot of the civilians roamed about. Usually with the threat of Aragami most would lock themselves in their homes, leaving the streets practically deserted. Not only were the streets crowded, there was grass on the ground and an elderly woman selling fruits and vegetables and kegs - which the man called Lindow hoped was filled with beer. Fenrir wouldn't hand out that many rations to one individual or produce plants that looked so organic, so her plants must have been self grown.

Either way, the old woman was their last chance at finding information. Everyone else they asked for the location of Megumi walked away from them once they learned that Soma and Lindow worked for Fenrir. The people of this Section seemed to be protective of her and would handout nothing about her. Betting everything on this last chance, they approached the elderly woman's food-stand.

"Evening ma'am, my names Lindow and this sour puss beside me is Soma." Soma growled at him for that. "We're looking for-"

"I know who you're looking for." The old woman said sternly. "Megumi lives a little further up this road with her father in a lone house in the area. You can't miss it." They were shocked at how easily she gave away the information.

"W-well thanks ma'am. But why did you give the information away so easily? Usually the people in this area are quite secretive about her for some reason?"

"Even if we continue to hide her you're bound to find her eventually." But then her eyes slanted as she said her last words hauntingly. "But in the end whether she decides to go with you is up to her. Now be gone you whopper-snappers, you're chasing away my business."

"Thanks for your time ma'am" Lindow bowed to her and stepped away from the food-stand to head over to Soma. "Well let's go meet the candidate."

They walked along the path the elder pointed to them. As they continued onward the grass became greener and to their surprise they saw flowers further on ahead. Never before had they seen such floral plants in real life. Any documents of their former existence was from data of the old times on NORN. They shined like gold as the sun touched their petals.

The broken old pavement turned into a stone path as they continued onward. They were caught off guard when the path lead to a small farm. Vegetables were growing on the right, orchids of fruit trees grew to the left. Cows could be seen grazing on the open field in the back.

This was amazing. Most businesses, especially when dealing with food production would be under constant destruction and peril from the Aragami without the protection of the Branch Walls. But this place was thriving, even with being near the weak point of the Anti-Aragami Wall, along with the Sector surrounding it. Whoever was taking care of it was doing a good job.

The house in the center of it was larger than the average Outer Ghetto houses but too small to be from the rich Sectors. But it was well kept and looked cozy, surrounded by a white picked fence. Its front lawn was covered in a sea of white lilies that let off a settle but pleasant scent. They couldn't believe how many there were. They couldn't even see the grass as the stone path lead to the stairs of the front door. Butterflies fluttered about the lilies in a dance. They had thought the butterfly species was wiped out by the Sariel, an Aragami with butterfly-like characteristics mixed with the resemblance of an alluring woman, it appears they were mistaken.

But if the place was so well taken care of where were its caretakers, most likely the Sato family. That's when they spotted a young lady in the vegetable field, tending to the weeds. Her long hair sprayed across the ground while she was on her knees and blended with the fertile earth but shined in the sun. She was silent as she worked with tender care.

"Excuse me Ms!" Lindow called out to her. She turned toward them. Her eyes were as blue as the mid-day sky and long strands of hair fell across her young face. Her baby blue sundress was covered in dirt along with her muddied hands. She was so serene and gave off a calming aura. But she was as silent as a stone.

"Ah, hi. We're here from Fenrir's Far East Branch. I'm Lindow Amamiya and this here is Soma von-" Soma elbowed him on the side hard as a warning to stop while he was ahead. "Apparently Mr. Silent-and-Moody just wants to be called Soma." Soma elbowed him again but Lindow blocked it and chuckled. However, returning to the subject at hand. "Are you Megumi Sato?"

She smiled at them and nodded her head. She stood up, her hair flowing up like a reverse waterfall, and wiped off the mud on her hands as she walked over to the orchid in her warn-out garden boots with them following behind. She picked up a large basket and began to collect all the ripe apples from the apple trees as Lindow continued on.

"Well that's good, you're a really hard person to find. We've been looking all day with no luck." She turned to them and held out an apple for them. If they had been moving around so much they must've been hungry. "Ah, thanks."

Lindow took the apple from her hand and she reached in the basket to hand another to Soma. Soma was reluctant, he saw the gesture as something with a catch. But as he looked into her eyes he could see no hidden agenda, they were honest and patient as her hand stay stretched out and unmoving. In the end he took the apple with a jerk of his hand.

They both bit into their apple, and their eyes widened as the taste entered their mouths and juice leaked from the apple. It was delicious, far better than artificial fruit grown for their ration fruits. They feared their taste buds had become numbed from the lack of taste for so long.

"This is good! The best thing I've had in a long time." She smiled and tilted her head in a thanks then continued on with her work. "But as I was saying, we're God Eaters from the Far East Branch and we're here to request your membership." She stopped in mid-air, as she was about to reach for another apple, at his words then turned to look at him.

"The higher ups from our Branch had research your files." Her face scrunched up in anger. But they could understand, who would want some stranger going through their personal information like a persistent stalker. "And your data is a match for a New-Type Gods Eater." She stared for a second then turned to head for her house, basket and all.

"Wait, please! Just hear us out." Lindow said, following behind her with Soma. "Together we can fight against the Aragami. You'd be able to save people with your own hands. You'll be the one doing the protecting."

She stopped, turning her head to look at them. She had a look of disbelief on her face that said you-understand-nothing.

"Megumi... do we have a guest?" A man's voice came from the house's window. Panic shrouded her face as she turned to the sound. "Ah... so we do. Well don't be rude princess, let them in."

She looked at them again, panic had left her face to be replaced by stern anger as she silently relaid the order for them to not cause any trouble. Getting the message across, she lead them into her home. It was cozy and warm, with its warm yellow wall paint, wooden floors, and home design of a grandma's floral home. In front of them was a stairway that lead to the rooms upstairs and a hallway that lead to the dinning room. To the right was a entrance way that lead to the tiled kitchen, while to the left... lead to the voice.

"Don't just stand there come on in, take off your coats if you'd like."

"No thanks. I'd rather keep mine on." Soma finally spoke.

"Same goes for me, but thanks."

"Suit yourselves. Princess, take off your boots before coming in here. I don't want any mud to track in here."

Doing as he said she took off her shoes by the door way to put on a cleaner pair of shoes that were there. With the dirty boots out of the way. She closed the door and stepped onto the floor, round rugs of floral design scattered the floor as a long rectangular one graced the hallway and the stairway.

"Come on in the Living room. I promise I don't bite." Following the voice they turned into the left entrance way. The team continued on, with floral furniture like padded chairs and a couch on top of a large round rug with a coffee table. Random stands with flowers and knickknacks over tiny rugs. And a fireplace that wasn't lite where family photos stood on top of.

But what caught them was the one non-floral furniture. It was a large green lazy boy. And what sat in it was definitely not human. He was a humanoid with Aragami arms and legs, a tail lazily flopped on the floor from his backside on the chair's right arm. Pants covered his bottom half but no shirt or shoes covered his clawed feet or his chest that glowed in the center with Oracle enhancement that failed to hide his ripped abs. His head and face was manly, but his eyes were like yellow Aragami eyes. Horns came out of his head as his long wavy platinum hair touched a little pass his shoulders.

Lindow's and Soma's first reaction was to pull out their God Arcs. But the humanoid Aragami did not budge as it continued to drink a hot beverage from its mug.

"There's no need for that, I won't harm you." The man took another sip as Megumi passed them to sit in the floral chair across from him and the coffee table. "I assume you know who I am."

"If the photo checks in with your resemblance you're... Doragon Sato, one of the few surviving older model God Eaters."

"Yeah that's me."

"Doragon?" Soma was curious about the strange name.

"My father wanted a son that was strong like a dragon." Doragon then gestured toward the couch. "Please sit down, there's nothing to fear."

"Nothing to fear? You're a damn monster."

"Soma!"

"And you're a socially awkward troubled teen, what's your point?"

"What do you know about me you-"

"Soma, enough." Lindow said, holding out on arm to keep Soma back. Soma growled, but conceded. "I'm sorry about my teammate's behavior. But your condition did catch us off guard. We've never seen such an extreme case of..."

"An Aragami Infection?"

"Yeah... and the fact that you still contain your consciousness is unbelievable too." Lindow said as he and Soma hesitantly took a seat on the couch.

"Yes..." Doragon said as he leaned forward, placing mug on the coffee table then leaned back to place his elbows on his legs as he rested his chin on his crossed fingers. "My family and I were attacked by Aragami who breached the Wall." Then he leaned back into his chair resting his arms on the arms of the chair as he looked up as if searching for a memory. "And now I live on in this form."

"But... how do you keep your Oracle Cells so stable? Your armlet is missing." Lindow asked.

"The same reason why there are no Aragami attacks in this area."

"My God, you don't mean..."

"Taking care of the Aragami in the area keeps the people safe and keeps me sane."

"Monster." Soma sneered, earning a stern look from Megumi and a hollow chuckle from Doragon.

"Call me what you want. It doesn't change the fact that this is my only way of surviving... But I rambled on too much, I failed to get your names."

"Lindow Amamiya, sir." Lindow greeted, leaning a little to shake his hand. His claws did not pierce but his grip was strong. Soma had his arms crossed as he turned his face away.

"... Soma."

"Well Lindow and Soma, you must be thirsty." Doragon said, picking up his mug from the coffee table. "What do you want? We have tea, coffee, lemonade, or beer."

"Did you say beer?" Lindow said, if his ears could they would have perked up at the notion.

"Yeah, it's a home brew. We usually make a living selling our produce to the Branch and local markets. It helped pay for school tuition. But we're more than happy to share it with a poor soul that needs it or house guest."

"In that case I'll have a beer and this guy will have coffee." Lindow said, pointing to Soma.

"I can drink beer too you know."

"We're not in the Den right now. Out here you're still a minor."

"Damn you." Soma's blush was barely hidden under his hood.

"Princess, would you mind?" He wiggled his empty mug toward his daughter. She got up from her chair to retrieve the mug and headed toward the kitchen. "Thank you, princess."

"Your daughter doesn't talk much, does she?" Lindow joked around.

"She can't talk. After that Aragami attack, disaster had struck her."

"And what about your wife? I haven't seen her around yet?" Soma asked, regretting the insensitivity of the question as Doragon's face twisted into hurt emotion. Doragon turned toward a family photo on the fireplace top. He was younger with shorter wavy brunette hair with his daughter no more than the age six being held by him and a lovely woman. His daughter had the woman's eyes and her complexion, her hair was straight and long like her daughter's but platinum. The photo spoke of happier times long forgotten.

"My Shiyuri... didn't survive the attack. She died protecting our little blessing... our Megumi. There's no words to describe how much I miss her."

"I'm sorry... She must've been a great woman and mother." Soma sympathized. Lindow was shocked, it was hard to get Soma to express remorse.

"Yes... yes, she was."

Then Megumi came in with a tray of mugs and a cup of tea, with a plate of cookies and a bowl sugar and a creamer set.

"Thanks Megumi." She smiled and handed Doragon his '#1 Dad' mug refilled with coffee and patted his head. Then she handed the other two gentlemen their respective mug. Placing the remaining tray on the coffee table, she picked up her cup of tea and returned to her seat. Pouring cream and two spoons of sugar into her cup and grabbed a cookie. Soma did the same, while Doragon and Lindow just took a sip of their drinks.

"This is better than the canned stuff they serve at the Den." Lindow cheered and then began to chug it down. Soma did the same with a little more control, while Doragon and Megumi just took a sip of their drinks.

"That's because they only 'half' the process."

"It almost makes me sad that it's almost gone."

"Why not take it with you? I'll fill you a bottle or two before you go."

"Really? That's awesome!"

"Lindow... we're here for a reason."

"And what reason would that be?" Doragon questioned.

"Your daughter." Soma answered.

"Prom season is over young man." Ignoring his joke Soma continued on.

"She's a candidate as a New Type Gods Eater. We were sent here in the hopes of having her join the Branch."

"..." Doragon got quite and stared into his mug.

"Sir?" Lindow asked in concern.

"The life of a Gods Eater is brutal. We fought without rest nearly everyday and lived with the constant weight of possibly not being alive to see tomorrow. That life was hell for me and my wife. We didn't want such a life for our daughter, we tried so hard to keep her away from that life. She just graduated from High School, something we never got the opportunity to do. My wife and I paid our dues to Fenrir, our daughter sure as hell doesn't have to."

"Sir if you receive rations from the Branch you are required to-"

"We receive nothing from the Branch, in fact we're the one's who make shipments to the Branch. The only reason you have her information is because of her School."

"Sir please. At least consider-"

"We owe the Branch nothing."

"The Branch has been protecting you from the Aragami, I think you owe us enough." Soma countered.

"We have been protecting ourselves from the Aragami. The Branch was nowhere to be found when the Aragami took my wife from me and destroyed my princess's childhood."

"I know life has dealt you an unfair hand, but humanity needs all the God Eaters it can get." Lindow pleaded.

"Life... don't tell me about life. Mine was butchered like an animal, and now you plan to take the little piece I have left away from me."

"It's cruel to ask of your family. However, your daughter has a patriotic duty to serve her Branch." Soma chipped in.

Doragon was silent for a moment then looked up toward his daughter. "Well princess, what do you plan to do?"

"You speak as if she has a choice?" Soma's smart aleck question earned a growl from Doragon as the grip on his mug tightened.

"She does have a choice, whether you like it or not. If she chooses not to go with you, you'd better believe that she is not going anywhere." Then he calmed himself and turned back to Megumi. "The choice is yours, princess."

The room was silent as all eyes fell on her. With the last sip of her tea she put her cup down and reached over the right arm of her chair. Righting herself, she pulled out a notebook and pencil and began to write. Once done she flipped it over for all to see her final choice.

'I choose to go with them.' Her father read it again then looked up at her.

"Are you sure that is what you want princess?"

'Yes, but under the condition you guys tell no one about the state of my father. The last thing I want is for Fenrir to try and turn him into a Lab-rat.'

"Seems fair enough. But you do realize that once you join Fenrir your family goes under the protection of the Branch." Lindow commented which caused her to write a response.

'You know as well as I do that once they see my father that policy will fly out the window.'

"Point taken."

"For the last time Megumi are you sure about this? It's too dangerous for you."

'Yes... but in the end... the cost is worth it for all of us.'

"If that is your choice I can't stop you. Go with them sweetie, you have my full support." Megumi got up from her seat and hugged her dad from the side of his chair. "Use my past storage. I should have enough in it to give you a good start at the Den. Please take care of yourself Megumi. No matter what you do or where you go you'll always be my little princess."

She kissed him on the cheek and headed up the stairs to pack.

"Take care of my little Blessing for me. She's all I have left." Doragon said, bringing his attention back to the guys in the room.

"Don't worry sir, we'll take good care of her."

"That is if she doesn't die in the first week."

"Soma!"

"My little princess is too stubborn to the core to die, I'm more worried about her getting hurt."

"We look after our own at the Den, sir. She'll be in capable hands."

"She'd better be or you'll have to answer to her siblings."

"Siblings?" Soma asked noticing no other family photos of said 'siblings.'

"Her brothers and sister. Adopted really, all drawn together by a common misfortune."

They would have asked more but they heard Megumi storming down the stairs. She came into the Living room, carrying no more than a handbag.

"Is that all your taking with you?" Soma asked as she nodded in confirmation. He approached her and in a gentlemanly manner took her bag from her to carry over his shoulder. "You travel light for a girl."

They walked to the door, Doragon following behind. Lindow and Soma continued on as she paused at her doorsteps. Noticing she wasn't following half way through the lily field they turned to look back.

"I'll tell your brothers and sister where you've gone. Don't take any unnecessary chances when you're out there. Be careful how you move, you're no longer under the protection of home." She waved her hand toward the lilies. "I promise to take care of the flowers for you. Your love for lilies is a trait you got from your mother."

She gave him one final big hug that lasted a good minute. Lindow and Soma could have sworn they heard her whisper something but it must have been the wind. At last they broke the hug.

"Get going now." Holding on until the last second she walked. When she reached the others, she was just about turned her head. "Don't look back!"

Her dad's shout caused her to pause in action. "Don't look back. Looking back clouds the mind and weakens the heart. Move forward and don't look back." Her fists clinched and her eyes watered, she turned her head forward and joined the boys. As they left the farm a mournful roar filled the air. Megumi did not turn back, but a tear went down her cheek. Her mouth moved but no words escaped. But from reading her lips Soma depicted two words.

'Later dad.'
