"This is an insult, Van! You're simply being foolish about this!"
Dist glared as Commandant Van Grants signed a paper on his desk ever so calmly.
"All of your attempts to stop them have failed. I'm assigning you a guardian to at least keep the fomicy labs in operation." he turned to Legretta, who stood at his side in silence, "Please go retrieve Fon Master Guardian Zeka Hayashi."
The blonde God-General then walked away and out the large heavy door, ignoring the Reaper's defiant outburst as she passed him. She knew just where to find the girl.
The wind was swirling chaotically at the top of the Daath Cathedral, the sun beating down on the stone structure. The majority of people residing there didn't dare go to the top, and only a few would go for a few moments. It made the perfect place for a rather young Oracle Knight to sit and think. The charcoal-haired teen gazed out at the city below her, her expression blank. It wasn't until she heard a familiar voice call her that she snapped out of this trance.
"Fon Master Guardian Hayashi, the Commandant wants to see you." It was Legretta, calm as ever despite the tempest that was spinning around the platform. The girl turned, glancing at the gun-weilding God-General with her dark chocolate hues.
"Alright, thank you for telling me ma'am. I will go to his office immedietly, if I may be excused?"
Legretta allowed the girl to pass her before leaving the platform herself. How the guardian would take becoming Dist's bodyguard, she didn't know, though she knew Dist would hate it. The girl had just finished her training a few days before the Replica Fon Master Ion was killed, and this wasn't a secret to her. Zeka was one of the first to find out, as she had been nearby when Mohs had told them.
They soon reached the old large door that lead to Van's office, still able to hear Dist's outraged shouts and insults.
"God-General Legretta the Quick and Fon Master Guardian Zeka Hayashi, we request permission to enter." Legretta said as the voices on the other side of the door went quiet.
"Come in."
Zeka quietly opened the door, seeing Dist the Reaper and Van there, the former seeming irritated by something as the two walked in, Legretta returning to her place at Van's side.
"You wished to speak with me, sir?" the Fon Master Guardian asked calmly, hiding the fact she was afraid of the commandant. If she were to ever anger him, there's no doubt he could kill her. She had to be careful around him.
"Yes. As I'm sure you're aware of, the Fon Master replica was killed a few weeks ago, and so far, most of our battles have been losses in our part." he paused, glancing over at the silver-haired fontech scientist before continuing, "In order to assure our fomicy labrotories are secured, I am appointing you as Dist's bodyguard. You will accompany him on missions and keep him out of danger, just as you would have for the late Fon Master. Do you understand?"
Zeka nodded, confirming this. She didn't dare say no, or show her shock. Thankfully she had learned to wear a "mask" to hide her true feelings and opinions. In this case, it would be her best weapon. Dist was known for holding grudges; say one wrong word, he hates you.
"I will make sure he is out of harm at all times, sir."
