Chapter 1:

Normal POV

The wind was harsh. It blew so fiercely that a lightweight person would be carried away of they simply jumped. The sand wasn't making anything better. Not for a certain individual who was currently trekking his way through the sandstorm. This young man wore a brown desert tunic, which was damaged from the storm, over a black long sleeved top with a collar that stood up to about between his nose and mouth. The youth had a black bandana with red lining and a red design on the forehead. He had silver hair, which spike d upwards on the top of his head band, and hung a short distance from the bottom to the point of his nose. To the right of the young one's face was a scar in the shape of an X. To shield his eyes, he also wore a pair of clear goggles. Strapped between his back the backpack he wore, was a large sword. About 60 inches in length to the tip, almost as tall as the youth, and about a foot in width, it had two holes the size of apples close above the hilt.

As the boy continued his journey through the destroyed city he found himself in, surrounded by demolished buildings, some of which had large perfectly circular holes through them, he began to notice a change in the air around him. "Looks like the storms letting up". He stopped walking for a moment to ponder. Seeing as he didn't need to wear them, he removed his protective goggles. "Hmm.. should I keep going, or should I take a breather while the breathing's good?" He thought for a few moments. "If bro were here, he would.." he began, then stopped himself. "No, I need to think about what I would do." A voice echoed in his mind.

Silver... Do me a favor. Don't try to be like me. Think of me and be like you…

"I won't forget…" Silver says with his head low and eyes closed. "…bro." He clutches the handle of the sword he held on his back. He perks his head up and opens his eyes. "Well enough of that. Now lets see if there's somewhere I can rest at around here." As he took a moment to take in his surroundings, he found an entrance to a destroyed building. " Is that a church?" He asked upon further inspection. "in a world that's been destroyed by what are supposedly sent by God, is a Church really that safe a place?" he humorously asked himself as proceeded to walk to it.

"Aww, no seats?!" he complained. "Some church". He then leaned against a wall and slid down it into a sit. He removed his backpack and from it, took out a third full bottle of water. As he finished what remained, he observed the inside of his pack. "Lets see, I've got 4 of these left." He took note. After a bit of thinking, he came to a conclusion. "This'll last me just fine till I get there!" After about twenty minutes had passed, he stood up from where he sat. "That was a nice break!" he said smiling. "Now I've got to find the entrance to the subway, then I-"

~Shadows over the City~

Just then, a loud roar, could be heard from outside the former church. "Bitchtits!" He cursed, "Looks like they found me!" He ran outside to see 2 monsters about his size standing on there two legs similar to chickens. They were partially covered in fur. Slowly closing in on Silver, he throws the tunic off his torso and he draws his large sword and takes upwards diagonal strike at the monster on his left. It didn't make a dent or wound, but it sent him flying about 10 feet to the left. The other monster lunged at him, but Silver blocked it in time with his sword, pushing the monster backwards. The monster tried to charge again, but before it hit Silver, he spun himself into a dodge to the left. As the monster stopped, Silver rotated his grip and slapped the monster with the face of the sword, sending it in the others direction. "Damn. I know thing won't work on Aragami, but if I can get these guys off me, I can make a break for it." Silver states to himself. As the two Aragami get ready to charge him, he positions himself to knock them back, a gunshot is heard from behind them. As one of the monsters fall, Silver makes out what appears to be… a Woman? And with a gun no less?

~No way Back, Project X Zone 2

"Hey!" She calls out to him. From what Silver could make out, she had black, short straight hair, a black dress with green lining, and a large red bracelet. "That thing won't cut them!" she tells Silver.

"I know!" He calls back. Still he continued to slash at the Aragami. If one would attack, he'd block and counter them with quick, yet strong swings of the large sword.

"He says he knows it doesn't work", the woman says, continuing to fire at the Aragami, "but he's still fighting." She calls out to Silver, "Hey! You! Get out of there!" I'll admit though, he's holding his own pretty well. A short static was made from the ear piece she had in her ear.

"Sakuya" a mans voice said.

"Lindow", she says back, "are you seeing this? He won't back off!" she informed the man.

"Take it easy." He replied. "I wanna watch this."

"got a good view from up there?" she asks jokingly as she looks up to a rooftop.

On the rooftop, a young man in a long brown coat with black hair was lighting a cigarette. "Its nice" he replied. "Could use a chair and some beer though." As he puffed a swig of his cigarette, he kept a keen eye on Silver's effort to fend off then Aragami. "Gotta say, kids got talent. Familiar somehow…"

"Lindow" another adults voice speaks up. "How long do you plan on keeping us waiting."

Lindow sighed and rubbed the back of his head. "fine. Go for it." He pulls out a cylinder with a ring and pin on it. He pulls out the pin and tosses it off the roof, and leaps off with it.

Down below, as Silver is fending off the Aragami, an blinding flash lights the area. Silver shields his eyes for a moment. As he uncovers them, the Aragami are roaring whilst standing higher on there legs. "Huh?" Silver exclaims as he looks up to see a silver haired youth in a blue hood free falling down with a large spiked claymore him one hand. As he puts his other hand on it, he aims it below, and suddenly a large mouth comes from out of the blade. Theyre… God Eaters! Silver realizes. The hooded man continues his drop onto the ground as he drives the mouth from his weapon into one of the monsters. As he finishes what seems like his sword eating the monster. The man looks at Silver.

"Better watch it around here, or that could end up being you." The hooded youth warns.

Silver steps back nerviously. "You'll make that thing eat ME?"

"oh my- not by me, them!" the hooded man corrects, sighing.

"Well, I knew THAT!" Silver said.

"Behind you." The blue-hood emotionlessly says.

Heeding his warning, Silver turned around and slashed at the monster attacking him from behind. As he hits it, it doesn't do anything besides nudge the Aragami despite the force put into the swing. In that moment, a large chainsaw-like blade tears through the Aragami. Silver stares in awe as the blade is quickly removed from the body as it falls on the ground. He looks towards the holder of the blade to see a black haired man in a coat smoking.

Lindow holds his large sword over his shoulder and hold his cigarette in the other hand. "Well that wraps that up" he says. Sakuya walks up to the rest of the group. "Thanks for not killin' em yet, Sakuya," Lindow says to her. She nods back to him. He turns to Silver. "hey, that was an impressive display." Lindow compliments him. "Thanks for putting on a good show for us."

"um.. your welcome?" Silver replied in confusion. "I didn't do anything though." He says humbly, "I was just gonna find an opening to use a flash bomb and bail."

"So that's why you kept fighting, even though that blade of yours didn't work." Sakuya realised. "Sorry, I thought you were been stubborn, but you knew what you were doing." She apologized.

"oh, its alright, miss…." He said, inquiring her name.

"Sakuya." She answered. "Sakuya Tachibana."

"Names Lindow. Your buddy right there is Soma." Lindow introduces.

"We're not 'buddies'", Soma retorts as he turns his back on the group. "I'm heading to the chopper's rendezvous"

Lindow lets out a sigh. "Don't mind him." He says, "he's had it rough."

Silver nods. Alot of us have. "M'key." He examines the groups red bracelets and the giant weapons they had. "So you guys are God Eaters?" Silver concludes. "Are you with the Far East Branch?" he asks, "please, tell me!"

"Yep. That's us." Lindow answers. "Someone looking to join the club?"

"Yeah!" Silver said. "I took the compatibility test, so I should be good right?" He continued anxiously.

"well there's one obstacle out of the way", Sakuya states, "how did you plan on getting there though?"

"You can get there easier the subway, right?"

Lindow and Sakuya give each other looks. Lindow sighs and speaks up. "You'd have no luck. Its crawling with large Aragami down there, and if they don't kill you, then the heat will." Lindow explained. "But", he starts with a smile, "since you showed us your talent and will power earlier, you've earned a free helicopter ride to the Fenrir Far Branch Den! There, you'll become a God Eater, learn about God Arcs, Oracle Cells, and stay in a luxurious living space, complete with your very own… bed!" Lindow says as if he's the host of a game show. "How does that sound?"

Silver lowered his head. " It sounds awesome, but…"

"what's wrong?" Sakuya asks with concern.

"Well, I'm…" Silver hesitated, "not.. so sure I trust you guys."

Lindow found himself in shock. "whoa, where'd that come from?"

Silvers head was kept low. "Sorry some things happened, quite a few years ago. I lost most of my faith in people and this world." He looked back up at the two God Eaters. "Id like to try and place my trust in people again, but I just…. Don't know.."

Sakuya gave Silver a smile. "Well, id like you to try and trust us." She pleaded. "we got to see what you can do today, and got an idea of what you could do in the future. And I have a feeling I can place my trust in you. How about you Lindow?" she looks at him.

"I'd like to see what you can do. How 'bout it? Wanna join the band amd raise some hell?" Lindow says, "and besides. Trust goes both ways."

Silver thought for a few moments. He wanted to be a God Eater. He wanted to fight so he could protect people. He wanted to come to trust them again. Again it would nice to stop living on the run. His mind had been made up. If he was going to put his faith in the world, he'd have to start somewhere. "Well then, should we start for the chopper?"

Smiles grew on Lindow and Sakuyas faces. "So you'll come along?" Sakuya asked with glee.

"Of course. I've wanted to become a God Eater for as long as I can remember" Silver answered. "And besides, what kind of guy would I if I turned down the trust of a woman such as yourself?" Silver adds with a slick smile. Sakuya's face then turns beat red.

"Ooh, killer with the ladies, huh?" Lindow remarks. "Oh, we'll get along just fine. Alright, lets get going." Lindow instructed. "Soma will be pissed if we keep him waiting." With that, the group begins their walk to the helicopter.

"Hey, Miss Sakuya" Silver addresses.

"Hm?"

"Sorry about that back there." Silver apologized, referring to the question that made her blush. "a certain someone I once knew rubbed off on me."

Sakuya giggles at his honesty. "oh, its fine!" she assures him, "Lindow used to do it all the time."

"Won't deny it" Lindow says, shamelessly

The group reaches the helicopter on the other side of the city. Soma was already there waiting for them. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Soma." Lindow apologizes with a hint of sarcasm. "was havin a talk with your new buddy." Soma grumbled from across where I sat down on the chopper. Lindow looks Silver's way. That headband, Lindow thought."Oh, yeah. I never got your name, kid."

"It's Silver. Silver Usugiri."

"Usugiri, huh" Lindow repeats. "Glad to have you on board."
