''Role call!'' Troy shouts getting the attention of the group of JIDA soldiers present who were all slacking and laying around to jump in surprise and in one case someone to shout as they feel to the ground at the sound of the Irish accented voice break the calm and peaceful silence.
''Get up Yuu.'' Troy says looking down at her with a frown as she lays on the ground glaring back up at him while thinking unspeakable things.
''Was there a need to shout?'' Guren asks looking at Troy tiredly as she rubbed one of her bloodshot eyes.
''I don't know; would you have gotten up if I didn't?'' Troy asks with a raised brow and a grin silencing Guren as she simply huffs and leans against the wall with an annoyed look on her face.
''Great now that everyone's up we can do the roll call.'' Troy says causing a few groans to sound making him chuckle as he pulled out a sheet of paper attached to a small plastic board.
''Damien Leone.'' Troy reads aloud from the board prompting a hand to raise and a quick 'Aye' to sound prompting Troy to nod and tick beside the name.
''Slav…Slavana Sikavo…ski…'' Troy reads repeating her first name twice and pausing mid her second name causing Yuu to chuckle only to be silence by Troy glancing up at her with an unimpressed frown on his face.
''Here.'' Slavana says raising her right hand for a brief moment prompting Troy to once again nod and tick the small box beside her name.
''J'h'in Hayabusa.'' Troy reads only to get no answer making him look up at the crowd. ''Jhin Hayabusa.'' Troy repeats only to reserve no answer making him sign.
''Maybe I'm not answering because it's pronounced Jin?'' Jin says with a chuckle and a shit eating grin on his face as he watches Troy look at him flatly. ''Funny, sorry snow white I'll remember to say it right next time.'' Troy says making Jin huff out as Several of those present chuckle at his small jab at Jin's hair color.
''Aries, I know you're here demon child.'' Troy says making Aries give the smallest of nods as troy Ticks the box.
''Right, all the games called will be under my command from now on.'' Troy explains making Jin begin to cough into his hand. ''W-what?!'' Jin shouts out only to be ignored as troy looks back down at the paper.
''Guren, you'll be leading your pack of idiots as normal so you can do whatever the hell you want.'' Troy explains getting a small hum from Guren who'd almost fallen back asleep.
''And the rest of you are under Shinji's (Male Shinoa) command.'' Troy says looking at the pink haired boy fist pump making him huff and role his eyes.
''Great now that I know all of you are here the oh so great Hiragi family have given us orders.'' Troy says making Guren crack an eyes up.
''Are you sure you're reading it right? They'd never trust me with a mission on my own.'' Guren says with a frown on her face.
''Well you're half right, we have the mission but you're not in charge, I am.'' Troy explains making Guren blink a few times at him.
''Hell no!'' Guren shouts pointing an accusing finger at him. ''Last time I let you do something you royally fucked it up!'' Guren shouts making Troy grin at her.
''Oh I'm sorry that I messed up stealing from the Hiragi family in your name, you're lucky I didn't rat you out for that.'' Troy says making Guren pack down once more and mutter about how it wasn't fair.
''So any questions?'' Troy asks prompting Mitsuba to raise a hand. ''Good, now let's go.'' Troy says completely ignoring the girl as he turns around only to stop as he feels something hit his back.
''I had my hand up!'' Mitsuba shouts making Troy sigh and look back at her. ''And that would be?'' Troy asks prompting her to point at Shinji.
''Why is he leading the squad for? I have years of experience and he just treats everything as a joke!'' Mitsuba rants making Troy raise a brow. ''Well first off he's a Hiragi and second off he can fight ten times better than you can.'' Troy explains making Shinji chuckle at the look on Mitsuba's face.
''So that's all?'' Troy asks only to sigh as another hand is raised. ''What do you want Jin?'' Troy asks prompting him to speak. ''What rank are you anyways?'' Jin asks tilting his head to the side as he fiddles with his Fluted gauntlets. ''I'm a captain why?'' Troy asks making Slavana raise her hand.
''How come you're in charge then? Shouldn't Lieutenant Coronel Guren be in charge? Due to her rank?'' Slavana says making Troy sigh. ''Guren's in charge of two Coronels who are a rank higher than her, your statement is irrelevant.'' Troy explains making Slavana nod meekly and place her hand at her side once more.
''You all better have your demon weapons with you, if not then hurry up and get them before we leave without you.'' Troy says and nods as no one moves. ''Good I'll meet you all at the Humvee's.'' Troy says as he turns and leaves the large group to themselves.
''Rather bad first impression…'' Jin sighs out as he scratches the back of his head. ''He's not all that bad, he just acts like he has a pole up his ass when he needs to be serious, find him when he's got off time your opinion will change completely.'' Yuu explains prompting Guren to nod.
''What the kid said.'' Guren says as she sits up straight and stretches the stiffness from her joints.
''What is the mission anyways?'' Slavana asks making everyone present stop what they were doing. ''No idea…'' Shinji says with a snake like grin that was always plastered on his face.
''Isn't that just great…'' Guren mutter as she gets up. ''Let's not keep our glorious leader waiting then.'' Guren says with a sigh as she walks towards the city exit followed by rest of the group.
''Huh, these things look nice.'' Yuu comments looking at the five Humvee's parked next to each other with Troy 'talking' to two JIDA wall guards about getting the gates open.
''He's flirting with them…'' Jin mutters flatly watching Troy flirt with the two female guards who were giggling away like school girls at his honeyed words.
With a sigh Guren pinches the bridge of her nose as she walks towards Troy and the two guards with a rather dark look on her face that made Troy shiver and turn towards a fist straight to the face.
-=Meanwhile=-
''Isn't that a rather rude way to great a lady?'' Ferid asks snapping her neck back into place ignoring the throbbing pain on her cheek as she stared at the 20th Progenitor Surtr Alexandre who in turn just huffs as he crosses his arms.
''You're anything but a lady.'' Surtr says his accent instantly giving away the fact he was of Russian origin. ''How about I just teach you how to treat a lady then hmm?'' Ferid hums out dangerously causing Mika to quickly step in.
''I'm almost positive that Krul would have your head if she learned you killed Surtr.'' Mika says with a frown on his face as looks between the both of them. ''Fair point…you live to see another day!'' Ferid says all to happily as she turns around and begins to walk away.
''Oh and boys! We have a mission from Krul, please do meet me later at my personal estate and I'll gladly fill you in on the details!'' Ferid shouts back at them as she turns the corner.
''Pedophile…'' Surtr mutters angrily as he turns and looks out at the City he was currently in with a frown on his face.
''You really need to stop challenging Ferid like that, she doesn't even tolerate Crowley as much as she does you, and even then that's because your Urd's son.'' Mika says looking at Surtr causing his frown to deepen.
''I know but still she just…she rubs me the wrong way.'' Surtr says making Mika's emotionless mask crack slightly. ''I never knew you both knew each other so well.'' Mika says making Surtr pause and think about what he'd said.
''that's…that's just nasty…'' Surtr mutters knowing full well who'd be the 'man' in the relationship if it ever happened.
''What about that Human you and Ferid are so obsessed with, Yuu right?'' Surtr asks making Mika frown this time.
''I'd prefer not to talk about it…'' Mika mutters looking out at the city ignoring Surtr's curious glare. ''Are you in love with her or something?'' Surtr asks making Mika choke on nothing.
''She's my sister you idiot!'' Mika unintentionally shouts making Surtr chuckle at him as he attempts to regain his composure.
''Sister? That does explain why you care about her so much, but why does Ferid?'' Surtr asks curiously as he tilts his head to the side.
''I don't know why Ferid cares about her so much…'' Mika mutters sadly remembering the days he was in the Orphanage with the other children…days far gone from now.
''So who's Troy then?'' Surtr asks making Mika freeze up. ''He's someone who shouldn't be alive.'' Mika says coldly remembering how he did nothing while the Orphans were killed.
''You really hate him huh?'' Surtr asks as he walks towards a nearby exit. ''With all my being…'' Mika mutters darkly making Surtr nod. ''Well we all have our hates and likes.'' Surtr says as he leaves Mika alone to think about the past.
-=Elsewhere=-
''What the fuck was that for!?'' Troy shouts angrily as he holds his now bleeding nose while glaring death as Guren who was smirking as him while rubbing her now bleeding knuckles.
''Just letting of some steam.'' Guren says with a grin on her face making Troy huff out a fake laugh. ''You could be the next fucking Connor McGregor with that that right hook!'' Troy says loudly to Guren as rubs the last of the blood from his nose.
''Did you really need to punch him?'' Aries asks with a raised brow as he stare at Guren flatly. ''Yup.'' Guren says popping the 'P' as she opens the door to one of the Humvees.
''Just get in the fucking cars…'' Troy mutters with a sigh as he opens the driver seat door to his Humvee. ''Yo Aries you'll be driving for Shinji's squad, Shishi (Female Shiho) get your ass over here.'' Troy says prompting Aries and Shish to do as he says and swap squads for now.
''Why are we swapping?'' Yuu asks making Troy sigh. ''Do any of you LOOK old enough to drive a civilian car never mind a military one?'' Troy asks making Yuu rub the back of her head. ''No…'' Yuu mumbles. ''Exactly.'' Troy says getting into the driver seat of his Humvee with Damien in the passenger seat and Shishi, Jin and Slavana in the back.
''Seatbelts on?'' Troy asks causing Jin to groan and put his seatbelt on. ''Yes daaad…'' Jin draws out. ''That's my girl.'' Troy says looking back at him with a large Grin on his face as everyone else besides Jin chuckles at the jab.
''Alright let's get this shit show moving.'' Troy says into a radio and quickly handing it back onto the main box not bothering to wait for a reply as he begins to drive towards the large gates.
''So any of you kids been outside the walls before?'' Troy asks not taking his eyes off the road. ''We all have sir, you should know this, all military personnel are required to have 'tours' outside the wall every year to help fend off the horsemen of john.'' Shishi explains.
''Huh, look at that we got ourselves a smart one, any chance you'd like to stay with us and Jin take your place on your squad?'' Troy asks causing Damien to chuckle as he looks at Shishi though the rear view mirror.
''I'd love to…'' Jin says getting a small chuckle out of everyone. ''Well now that were all going to quiet and alone what rank are you all?'' Troy says once more taking a glace back at everyone.
''Sargent.'' Jin says with a small wave.
''Private.'' Shishi says making troy smirk. ''New blood then?'' Troy asks getting a small nod from her.
''Second Lieutenant'' Slavana says calmly like always.
''Sargent as well.'' Damien says casually prompting Troy to nod.
''You all know I'm a captain, soon to be a general of this little army of ours.'' Troy says as they leave the walls and drive into the ruined streets of Japan.
''And how would you plan that? Only clan members can become high ranking officers past Colonel.'' Jin says with distaste in his voice. ''I'll find a way; I am a Higgins after all.'' Troy replies making Slavana's eyes widen slightly.
''That Higgins? As in the family that run most of Ireland and a portion of the United Kingdom before the virus outbreak?'' Slavana asks prompting Troy to nod. ''Yep, shame the Sein Fein shot us in the back like they did, but I'm also glad, if it wasn't for them I'd be dead like everyone else who didn't get the vaccine.'' Troy says as they drive around a buildup of several crashed cars.
''Who are these 'Higgins' people?'' Shishi asks curiously. ''We we're like the Hiragi clan, we passed on leadership to the eldest son and since I wasn't that I had no chance of becoming the heads unless my older brother died leaving me as the next head, but besides that the Higgins is basically the Irish version of the Hiragi family, we worked a lot on the whole magic thing with demons and stuff, the Hiragi family did hate us though since we allied ourselves with the house of a thousand nights.'' Troy explains as the others listen closely.
''Though that all feel down after the Sein Fein got a little too full of themselves and started pulling hits on the Higgins family, after we discovered they'd been killing members of the family I was put on a private jet and flown to japan and into the care of the house of a thousand nights until it was dealt with and got my vaccine a few hours before everything went to shit.'' Troy adds on as he looks to the side to see a large Horseman of John lumbering in the distance.
''Jesus that fucker is massive.'' Troy mutters watching the giant walk through the ruins of Japan without a care in the world for what it stepped on. ''Damn straight…'' Damine adds looking at the large horseman of John that was easily the size of a large building.
''Whelp kids, looks like we found it.'' Troy says picking up the radio causing him to get weird looks from everyone in the Humvee. ''Our mission is to kill that big bastard, the Hiragi family think it's notice the large human presence in the city and start a march through the city of Shinjuku.'' Troy explains into the radio and places it down before he could get a verbal beating from Guren who'd started to shout into the radio.
''We…we have to kill that thing?!'' Jin shouts in shock looking back and troth between Troy and the large Horseman of John. ''Yes we do, got a problem with that?'' asks with a cold voice quickly shutting up Jin. ''No sir…'' Jin mutters knowing fighting with Troy would problem mean his death or a lot of pain and a missing arm.
''You do release Guren's going to kill you right for not informing anyone about this?'' Shishi says making Troy chuckle nervously. ''Think so? Maybe I can throw Jin at her maybe she'll kill him and not me.'' Troy thinks aloud causing Jin to shout in protest making him chuckle. ''I'm fucking around snow flake, let's go kill us a giant.'' Troy says as he pulls a sharp turn causing everyone besides him to shout in fright as they were thrown to the side harshly their seatbelts preventing them from piling up on top of each other. ''WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR LISENCE!'' Shishi shouts at Troy as he laughs at her.
''The shanty.'' Troy replies as he continues to drive towards the colossal sized Horseman. ''Right, everyone we'll be stopping thing seems to have stopped for now.'' Troy says picking up the radio as he observes the Horseman stop on the spot and sit down. ''Grab your stuff.'' Troy says opening the door and getting out of the car before stretching his back. ''God I hate those stiff seats…'' Troy mutters as he watches the other cars come to a stop and everyone getting out.
''So…'' Yuu says looking at the large Horseman. ''How do we…kill it…'' Yuu says slowly looking back at Troy. ''Well first off I'd like Aries back.'' Troy says prompting Aries to nod and walk to Troy's side and Shishi walked back to her squad.
''So, most of you were probably wondering what our mission it, we kill that thing, head home and hand up out hats for the day.'' Troy explains only to shout out in pain as Guren slaps the back of his head. ''Fine fine…'' Troy mutters rubbing the back of his hair.
''Since Guren has a pole up her ass today I'll need to read the whole report.'' Troy says leaning back to avoid a roundhouse kick from Guren. ''Why do you wear boxers for?'' Troy asks causing Guren's face turns red as she marches over to her squad and crosses her arms and glares at Troy.
''The Hiragi family has given us a mission to destroy the large Horseman of John that is predicted to head towards Shinjuku later today, we have explosives at the ready in the Humvees to take out it's legs, Shinji, your squad will go with mine and destroy the back legs while Guren's and will take out the front ones.'' Troy reads from a small note pad before looking up at those in front of him.
''H-how come Guren's squad is going alone...?'' Yoichi asks timidly and blushing as all heads turn to him. ''Someone needs to babysit the newbies, and I lost a bet.'' Troy says waving his hand as Guren chuckles with a proud looking grin on her face.
''Come on kids! We're going on a little trip!'' Troy says turning towards the large Horseman and walking ahead while Shinji's and his own squad followed after.
''So Yoichi, what possessed you to join the moon demon company.'' Troy asks glancing back at Yoichi making him blink in surprise. ''O-oh I…'' Yoichi attempts to speak only for Yuu to interrupt. ''Revenge.'' Yuu says making Troy raise a brow. ''Huh, you two have that in common anyways.'' Troy says with a smirk on his face.
''Mitsuba?'' Troy asks looking back at her making her raise a brow at him. ''Why'd I join the moon demon company?'' Mitsuba asks prompting Troy to nod. ''I joined bec-'' Mitsuba stops abruptly as Troy moves a hand up to silence the group as he stops on the spot.
''Somethings wrong…'' Slavana says looking around the buildings surrounding them. ''We'll looks like we've been spotted…'' A voice says prompting Troy to grab a small key like object inside his pocket and pull it out as four people drop from atop one of the buildings.
''Crap…'' Troy mutters looking at the four vampires in front of him. ''Can we play with them a little before we kill them?'' Chess asks Crowley causing him to chuckle. ''It has been rather dull today…'' Crowley says looking towards Horn (Male) who was dressed in a butler outfit and stood elegantly. ''What about you two?'' Crowley asks prompting Horn to sigh and the smaller vampire at the back with a pint sized top hat atop her head to nod and lick her lips looking at the group of humans.
''We're gonna need to split up and loose them…'' Troy says taking a step back as Crowley moves a step forwards. ''SCATTER!'' Troy shouts transforming his weapon and slamming it into the ground and allowing his demon weapon to blow up the ground sending rubble and dust everywhere and making a temporary smoke screen that allowed the group to split up into the surrounding buildings.
''Looks like this'll be fun…'' The vampire with the top hat says showing her serrated teeth and elongated tongue. ''Don't get carried away Tahm, Ferid wants the girl with black hair and green eyes alive, I'll take care of the one in the coat and axe, Horn, chess do what you like with the rest.'' Crowley says prompting them all to nod and blur away leaving Crowley alone to look up at the large Horseman of john. ''I hope Ferid gets here soon.'' Crowley says knowing things would go south quick if the horseman woke up.
-=With Guren's squad=-
''Looks like Troy's run into some trouble.'' Guren says looking at the distant explosion with a frown on her face. ''Don't worry about it, you know he can pull it off.'' The only male member of the team, Norito, says with a chuckle making Guren sigh. ''I guess, come on let's get this over and done with.'' Guren's says shifting the back on her back slightly as they approach the large leg imbedded into the ground.
