The New Recruit

Time flies…and due to the laws of time existing, that is no surprise to anyone. But looking back now, it's not hard to see why and how time does fly when you have so much to do.

Four years…four years have passed since the Moon Angel Wing and the Transbaal Fleet defeated the Val-Fasc and their leader, Gern, as well as preventing the Chrono Quake Bomb from consuming the galaxy.

I am Arnold Williams and I can say with hand on my heart that a lot has changed since then. A week after Tact and Ranpha's wedding, I had to go and see Lady Noah to discuss about how we can open dimension gates with the key I had retrieved from my family tree book back at Eden and keep them open.

The first galaxy we opened a dimension gate to was to be called NEUE, but if we were to keep the gate open, we needed two vital solutions. First would be to create a dimension gateway that would operate as the heart of the dimension gates and second, to have a dimension gate keeper to watch over the gateways to other galaxies.

I stated that the former would be the easy part but getting a gate keeper would prove to be extremely difficult to find, let alone share the knowledge and understanding towards the potential gate keeper, whoever it would be.

When the centre dimension gateway was finally constructed, we called it ABSOLUTE and the gateway to it would be located in the now deserted Val-Vaross area that was once filled by the Fal-Vasc, we had some of the military stationed there for just in case.

Once NEUE's gateway was connected to ABSOLUTE, we sent out a few scout ships to find a few planets along with new and rare kind of Lost Technology. Bringing the necessary equipment and forces was key to any possible negotiations that might occur. As for the dimension gate key that made it all possible in the first place, it now sits proudly on display in the centre heart of the Central Globe.

As a result of the generosity and peaceful meetings, the planets in NEUE began to flourish and thus, we moved most of the newly created forces to the galaxy. Of course, this took a very long time to process and during those four years, a lot had happened from my view.

First off, since the war between my home world of Eden and the Val-Fasc was officially over, there was no need for the full military might to be stationed across the EDEN galaxy. As a result of the new galaxy needing to keep the peace wherever possible…the Moon Angel Wing was disbanded.

When we got the news that we were assigned to different roles and that we had to separate, we were kind of disappointed not to be leading the charge in NEUE, but that wasn't all of it.

There were Emblem Frames discovered in NEUE which stunned us all and that meant a new Angel Wing would be formed along with a new commander ship that would be called the Luxiole which would end up becoming a more superior ship compared to the Elsior.

Because of me and the other six girls disbanding, we each went off to pursue our own careers and from my knowledge, they were all somewhat military-related.

Ranpha Mayers, now 23, is still married to Tact Mayers, she was the first to retire from military service and used her people's skills to become an ambassador for EDEN, whilst working on a planet called Magiic to improve social standings and the like.

Mint Blamanche, now 21, also retired from military service to follow in her father's footsteps and become a branch manager for the Blamanche Corporation where a space docking city was constructed in NEUE so new businesses under her corporation could thrive.

Forte Stollen, now 27, is one of the three still in military service, the other two I will explain shortly. She was promoted to Lieutenant Colonel and helped to train up the new recruits of the military on the capital planet of NEUE, Seldar. She also was the one who recruited four girls to be part of the new group called the Rune Angel Wing as well as the new recruit I had with me.

Vanilla H, now 18, retired from the military and moved to the planet of Pico to assist the planet in its nanomachine research and helped pioneer the way for Nanomachine usage across NEUE.

Chitose Karasuma, now 22, is the second of three to remain in military duty, she was promoted to captain. She was alongside Forte when the training for new recruits took place on Seldar. She was also assigned to stay on the Elsior along with Lester and Almo, so that she and my old friend, Clayton would still be together.

Which leaves me to Milfeulle Sakuraba, now 22. When the ABSOLUTE gateway began to operate with the NEUE dimension gate, we discovered that Milfie was able to work with the functions impressively, because of this, she was assigned the dimension gate-keeper for EDEN. That meant that she would have to remain inside ABSOLUTE so that the gates between EDEN and NEUE could function without any problems.

And finally, as for me, I was now 24 and I was promoted to First Lieutenant of the Rune Angel Wing, which for me was the perfect fit, according to Forte since she said that I would one day become a leader after the way I handled myself in the battles all those years ago.

Whilst it was sad to say goodbye to the girls, there was a silver lining to all of it. Milfie and I are still engaged and very much in love, but because of our new responsibilities, we had agreed to put any chance of a wedding to the backburner for the foreseeable future.

Today was the day I was bringing a new recruit with me on a small shuttle that was on route to the Luxiole, he would be the second male member of the Rune Angel Wing, his name was Kazuya Shiranami who was 16, and he used to be a chef but boy was his life gonna change. He wasn't related to me at all, but he had that same spark of potential that I once had.

I looked at him as I was piloting the shuttle to see him with a calm smile and look of feeling keen and I couldn't blame him, most of the people I knew were beautiful girls, but that was way back ago, I only had one girl in my mind and it would be my engaged fiancé.

I could see the Luxiole in my sights and this got Kazuya's attention.

"Is that the Luxiole?" he asked.

"It sure is." I replied. "How do you feel about it?"

"I feel like I have joy inside me, since the angel wing is mostly female."

"Hah!" I laughed. "If I was your age, that's how I would feel as well."

"Wait, didn't you join the Moon Angel Wing when you were older than sixteen?"

I kept my eyes on the view. "Well of course, I was only 20 when I was part of that group."

He then sighed. "I just realised that I'm gonna be entering a life of military service, I hope I'm ready for this."

"Well if you weren't, you wouldn't have got that training from Forte and you wouldn't be with me in the shuttle, would you?"

He looked at me. "Speaking of Forte, is she and the rest of them back in EDEN?"

"The only one I am sure that isn't in EDEN is my fiancé, Milfie." I then sighed. "I miss giving her those daily affections."

"Oh yeah, Milfie was the one who chose my application." He replied. "I feel a bit of pride since I was picked and she and the rest of you are heroes."

"Oh stop the flattering." I dismissed lightly. "I told you before that I'm just like any other person and I'm sure that you getting picked may have been down to her uncanny luck."

I slowed down the shuttles speed as we landed on the Luxiole's runway and drove slowly inside into the hanger where three emblem frames were on display as well as mine that was in the middle at the far back.

I was really happy to still have my Silver Speeder with me on the new ship, even more so now that my frame had the big silver driller at the bottom of my frame once more, unlike that multi-purpose solar beam which I really did like, but with the dimension gates, I didn't need it anymore.

We got out of the shuttle as the hanger door behind us closed and Kazuya took a moment for it to sink it all in.

"So what do you think?" I asked him. "And this is just the hanger alone."

"This is…I almost have no words!" he exclaimed. "Are those the Emblem Frames?"

"Yeah, there's five frames we keep in the hanger, but we do have room for two more apparently." I pointed to a free space between two frames. "However on this occasion, there's only four because last I heard, one of the girls you will meet soon is on scouting duty with Forte."

"So were these found in NEUE?"

I began to feel boastful. "Yeah, that was my reaction when I first heard there were frames in this galaxy. Least I still have mine and it still works like a charm!"

Just then, two people walked towards us to the hanger, one of which was a very familiar face.

"Hey there Arnold." Tact greeted. "Long time no see."

Oh yeah, when the Luxiole was finished, Tact was promoted to Brigadier General and was given command of the Luxiole and Coco was assigned on radar duty with him on the bridge.

"Kazuya, this is Tact Mayers." I said. "Don't be shy."

Kazuya stood forward and saluted. "I apologise, Kazuya Shiranami, Second Lieutenant Sir!"

Tact seemed amused and I was too, he reminded me of Chitose a bit. "So this is the guy that Milfie chose?" he asked.

"Yep." I replied. "From what I heard from Forte, he's got great potential."

"Sure reminds you of when Forte saw the potential in you, right?"

I smiled, rolling my eyes. "Oh you, Tact…digging up the past as always, you haven't changed."

"Anyways, Kazuya, you can just call me Tact. I also wanna introduce you to one of the Angel Wing members." A girl with orange hair stood forward. I already know who it was since I first met her during a vacation with Milfie years ago as well as back at Tact and Ranpha's wedding.

Apricot Sakuraba, Milfie's younger sister, she was 10 when I first met her, now 14 and she was the first one to join the Rune Angel Wing which was no surprise since she really wanted to be a pilot when she grew up.

Suddenly, as Tact put his hand on her shoulder, I immediately gasped. Apricot squealed and grabbed Tact, before throwing him right up towards the ceiling before Tact fell back down hard on the metal floor. Kazuya was in shock and I didn't blame him, I had no idea how or why it happens when a guy touches her, but she doesn't seem to wanna tell anyone about it.

Tact suddenly regained his footing and walked back to us. "Uhh, sorry about that…Kazuya, this is second lieutenant, Apricot Sakuraba."

"Hi Kazuya." Apricot replied. "Mind if I ask that you call me Rico?"

"Hi Rico." Kazuya replied and he was about to put his hand out for a shake but then pulled it away after remembering what he just saw. "Umm, mind if you call me Kazuya in return?"

"Sure, I'll do my best." She then looked at me. "Happy to see you Arnold."

"Same to you, Apricot." I replied. Yes, I was one other person besides Milfie who was allowed to call her by her real name. "So with the greeting out of the way, what's next?"

"Well I gotta give Kazuya a tour of the ship first." Tact replied. "And I think the bridge should be a good place to start, shall we go?"

Kazuya nodded and we left the hanger and took the elevator to the top floor and walked to the bridge. The bridge on this ship was much bigger than back on the Elsior.

"Kazuya, this is Coco Nutmilk." Tact said. "She's the Chief operator of the ship."

"Greetings Kazuya." Coco replied, looking at us. "Good to see you back, Arnold."

"The feelings mutual, Coco." I said.

"Alright Kazuya, let's introduce the rest of the angel wing." Tact said.

"Uh Commander Mayers, there is administrative work that needs to be done." Coco reminded.

"In that case, let me do the tour." I suggested. "I know my way around the ship and if something happens, Apricot can back me up."

Tact nodded. "Very well then, I'll leave Kazuya in your hands."

"Cheers."

Kazuya, Apricot and myself left the bridge and took the elevator to the third floor to the lounge where there were separate rooms for the angels, with mine having one of the two bigger rooms.

Suddenly, a flying black cat with only a head for appearance zoomed towards me and stopped. "Please! Please!" he pleaded. "You gotta help me hide!"

I sighed. "Lemme guess, you're being chased by her again?"

"Yes…oh no she's here!" he zoomed away.

Two other girls appeared and stopped to see me. "Hi Arnold!" One of them greeted.

"Hi there Nano, are you chasing that cat again?"

"Umm yeah…"

I sighed. "Well that's one way to greet our newcomer."

"Oh, you have someone new?" she asked. "Hi there, I'm Nano Nano Pudding. What's yours?"

"I'm Kazuya Shiranami." He replied, "I don't mind if you just call me Kazuya."

"Well hello Kazuya." The blond hair girl said. "I am Kahlua Marjoram, nice to meet you. We don't mind if you call us by our first names too."

It felt nice to see them being friendly towards Kazuya. Nano was the third member to join the angel wing and with her cat-like traits, she's able to jump high places, her age is unknown for complicated reasons. Kahlua, 21, was the fourth and recent angel to join a long while back who could cast spells.

"Nano, please stop bullying Mimolette." Apricot requested.

"Who's Mimolette?" Kazuya asked.

"He is my black-cat familiar." Kaluha replied. "And there he is."

"Aha!" Nano exclaimed. "Gotcha!" she grabbed Mimolette and stretched him, causing a lot of pain that only I could imagine.

"Argh!" He yelled in pain.

"Okay Nano, that's enough." I gently warned. "We're here to give Kazuya a tour of the ship and it's my duty to carry out that task."

"Just before you do, I have a question for Kazuya." Kaluha said. "So umm, have you ever seen magic as frightening?"

"It's not something that I would fear." Kazuya replied.

"Well if you come by to the potion room on the ground floor, I'll show you."

"We'll keep that in mind." I said. "Anyways, Kazuya, let's begin the tour, we'll see you girls later."

"Alright Arnold, don't get lost." Apricot said as the girls and Mimolette left us.

I breathed in a little, it was time to start the tour.
