GE: SILVER

Chapter 2:Fenrir

In the helicopter that Silver climbed aboard with the God Eaters he encountered, he was sat to the left of Soma. To Soma's right sat Sakuya, and Lindow sat across from all three of them. Silver felt for the first time in what seemed like ages, he was able to relax without worrying about getting killed by Aragami by surprise. He looked to Lindow. "Hey, mister Lindow." He addressed formally.

"Please, no formalities." Lindow responded. "Just Lindow." Lindow sat with his hands behind his head, looking towards the ceiling.

"Ok. Lindow." He corrected. "I can't thank you enough for this.".

"what, the chopper ride?"

"Well, yeah" Silver started, "but for also giving me a chance to join Fenrir."

Lindow turns his head to Silver and leans forward in his seat. "Just so you know", he began with a calm, but serious tone, "Becoming a God Eater is no cakewalk. Day in and day out, you'll be putting your life on the line killing Aragami." He explained.

Silver looked diagonally to the floor. "So I've heard." He said.

"But.." Lindow continued. "With your experience of surviving out in this screwed up world, as well as your fighting skills, you should do just fine!" Lindow assured.

"Don't baby him, Lindow." Soma said with signature attitude. "If its too hard for him. Oh well." He continued to sit in hiss smug position with his arms crossed and eyes closed. "But, maybe you'll amount to be a somewhat decent God Eater. Maybe."

'Somewhat decent'?! Silver thought.

Sakuya scoffed at him, then turns to Silver. "Don't mind him", she reassures him. "Lindow's right. The experience you have out there will help you in the long run."

"Alright!" Silver optimistically replied. "well, I'll just do what I've Gotta do to make sure myself and my teammates come home ok, right?"

Lindow smiles at him. "You catch on quick." He goes back to his serious look. "hey, mind if I ask you some questions?" Lindow asks.

"yeah, shoot"

"OK. One: How old are you?"

A puzzled look appeared on Silver's face. "I'm 19."

"K. Number 2: How long have you been surviving out here on your own.

"Oh, jeez. 'On my own', Id say about…," Silver pondered for a moment, "mmm… 4 maybe 5 years?"

Sakuya was quite surprised, and even Soma opened his eyes in interest. "4 or 5 years, huh?" he repeats. "That's kind of impressive." He complimented.

"Anyway" Lindow said to get back on topic. "3. And this ones important. Why do you want to become a God Eater?" Lindow asked.

Silver closed his eyes to think. Why DO I wanna God Eater? What is THE reason? I haven't given that a whole lotta thought. He opened his eyes and spoke up. "I know a few small reasons." He said. "As for the main reason… I'm still searching for it." He concluded.

"I get'cha." Lindow commented. "Guess its something you'll have to figure out for yourself."

"yeah…" Silver replied as he started to get lost in thought. His thought train was interrupted when Lindow spoke up again.

"Oh! One more question!" Lindow says as Silver focuses his attention to Lindow. "Do you know someone named Galen?" Lindow asked with a sly smile on his face.

"Huh?!" Silver gasped. He exhaled heavily. "guess the cats outta the bag." Silver admitted. "So you know then?"

"Yep." Lindow answered. "I knew that bandana you've got looked familiar. The last name really gave it away, though"

"Aright then, you got me." Silver confessed. "Galen Usugiri is my older brother." He closed his eyes as his head sunk.

"Yep. I nailed it." Lindow boasted. "Good guy, your brother. We go back quite a bit."

"Where is he now?" Sakuya asked with concern, fearing the worst.

"my big brother…" Silver said in almost a growl. "Was murdered!" he finished angrily.

"Oh my god, No!" Sakuya exclaimed. "I'm SO sorry! I should never have asked." She pleaded apologetically. "I met him a few times. He was a great man, and a great God Eater."

Silver let out a heavy sigh. "yeah…" he said as he eased the anger out of himself. "But, its thanks to him I am where I am now." He said with a small smile. "I owe a lot to him"

"I'm guessin he showed you how to use that big plank of metal over there?" Lindow inquired as he pointed his thumb towards Silver's sword, which leaned against one of the inside walls.

"Yeah. That sword's been in my family for decades." Silver explained. "my brother gave it to me at an earlier age cause it'd be good training for when I became a God Eater."

Lindow smiled at Silver. "Well, looks like he did an OK job with that." He complemented. "Do think you could tell us how he died?"

"Lindow!" Sakuya exclaimed, "how could you just ask something like that so bluntly?!" she was almost yelling at this point.

"Hey, hey! Its OK." Silver assured in attempt to calm her down. "I don't think I'm ready to talk about it yet. Some other time, maybe?"

"well then, we'll wait till you're ready to talk about it." Lindow said. He looked outside the chopper. They were now flying over the outskirts of the Old City. Looking out the other side, Lindow could make out a large wall adorned with a logo that resemble a wolf head with a ring in its mouth. "Well, looks like we're almost home." Lindow notified the group. "Hey, soon-to-be-Rookie." He addressed to Silver.

"Yeah?" He responded.

"when we get there, we'll have to drop you off at the Outer Wall gate." Lindow explained. "They'll have you take the compatibility test, just to be sure. After that, one of the guys will take you to the Far East Den. That's where the God Eaters stay." He concluded.

Sakuya continued speaking for Lindow. "when reach the Den, they'll bring you to a room where you get this installed on you." She holds out her arm referring to the large red Armlet on her wrist."

"Wait… 'installed'?" Silver repeats nervously.

"I'm guessing you brother didn't tell you about that", Lindow sighed. "About the armlet?"

Silver shook his head. "Not really. He just said 'when you become a God Eater, you have on of these put on."

Lindow sighed as he rubbed the back of his head. "Oh well. They'll explain everything when you get there."

"Alright." Silver replied. Feeling thirsty, he reached for his backpack on the floor. As he pulled a bottle of water out he looked at his fellow passengers. "Hey!" he said with an upbeat voice, "You guys want some water?" Silver pulled another bottle out. "I've got plenty for everyone!"

"Aww, your so kind," Sakuya complemented. "I'd love one!"

Lindow raised his hand in agreement. "I'll happily take one."

"Alright, here ya go", he says as he passes bottled water to Lindow and Sakuya. "Soma, would you like one?" he offers.

Soma hesitates for a moment. He then lets out one of his usually grumps. "Fine." He coldly answers. "Ill take one." He takes the bottle offered to him and starts sipping it.

As the chopper nears the landing pad close to the Outer Wall's gate, it makes its descent. "So, this my stop?" Silver asked, yelling over the copper's propellers.

"Yep!" Lindow answers, also yelling. "Hey rook!"

"Yeah?!"

"See you on the field!"

Silver nods as he grabs his backpack and sword. He then hops out of the plane and begins to walk towards the large gate guarded by two infantrymen with Red jackets. As he approached them, he spoke up. "Hey there!" he greeted them with a smile on his face, "I'm here to be a God Eater!" One of the guards approaches him.

"You'll have to take a compatibility test." He explained. "If you don't pass, you wont be able to enter."

No armlets… guess they're not God Eaters, Silver observed. "Yeah, I know." He replies to the guard.

The guard takes a small, square slip about a square inch from a pouch on his belt. "We call this an Oracle Sticker." He said. "I'd like you to place that on the back of your hand for ten seconds and press it down. If it appears blue, your free to enter. If it turns red…. I'm sorry." He finished explaining.

Silver placed the white sticker on his hand and pressed it as the guard said. One… two…three…four…five…six...Seven…eight…nine…ten! Silver counted in his head. "remove it?" Silver asked. The guard nodded. Silver slowly peeled the sticker off of the back of his hand. "and…Heeeyyy!" Silver exclaimed with excitement. "I got Blue!"

"Alright then!" one of the infantrymen said. "Welcome to Fenrir!" As he went to unlock the gate to allow Silver inside the wall, the gate had already started opening. When it opened, Silver saw the figure of a young man about his age. This youth also wore a red jacket, yet he wore his open. As he emerged from the other side of the gate, Silver could make out dark brown, almost black hair. Silver also took note of the large armlet on his right arm. "Tatsumi?" The same guard says, surprised.

"What's goin on, guys?" the young man asks in a very friendly voice. "Brought you guys somethin'!" He holds out two aluminum cans and offers them to the guards.

"Sweet!" one of the infantrymen exclaim. "you're the best Tatsumi!"

"yeah, thanks a lot!" the other one adds. The pop open the soda cans and start sipping them.

"No problem!" Tatsumi replied. He turns to acknowledge Silver. "Hello, who's this?"

"He's looking to join the God Eaters." One of the guards states as he takes a sip of the drink that Tatsumi brought him. "Think you could escort him to the Den?"

"Absolutely!" Tatsumi answered with excitement. "Follow me, newbie!" he instructs Silver. "What's your name?"

"I'm Silver!" he introduces. "Awesome to meetcha!" the two start to make their way through thee large gate.

"I'm Tatsumi. Likewise." Tatsumi replied.

After about ten minutes of walking through the Outer Ghetto, Silver sparks a conversation. "Hey, Tatsumi?" he addresses.

"Yeah, what's up?" he answers in an upbeat voice.

"That was really kind of you, bringing drinks for those guys." Silver told him. "I'm glad there are still people like that in this world. It makes me feel… relieved."

"Aww, its no big deal," Tatsumi said humbly.

"No, it is!" Silver begged to differ. "in a world like this, people need to help each other. Up until recently, I thought that other people would do what they had to do to survive." He expressed sadly. "I was taught the exact opposite: To help people who couldn't help themselves."

Tatsumi gave him a sympathetic look. "Sounds like you've been through a lot. Most people around here care an awful lot about one another." Tatsumi explained as his head started to lower. "because if it's a world where only the strongest survive… then what's left in end?" he finished with deep sadness in his voice.

Silver closed his eyes in thought. "Not a whole lot…" as Silvers thoughts trailed, he perked his head up and realized, wait why I thinking like this?! "Anyway", he said in an upbeat voice, "Lets do our best to help those in need!" Silver said with a big smile directed towards Tatsumi.

"Right!" Tatsumi strongly agreed. Noticing Silvers large sword, he took a closer inspection at it. "So, this huge sword, where'd you get it?" he asked. "Its almost as big as my God Arc!"

"My brother gave it to me when were first started travelling to get here." Silver explained. "Said it'd be good for practice."

"If you two were together, then where is he" Tatsumi asked, feeling he already knew the answer.

Silver felt an intense feeling in his chest. "He… was killed." Silver answered in a low tone.

"I'm sorry I asked." Tatsumi apologized, feeling regret for bringing up a painful topic.

Silver smiled at Tatsumi. "Eh, its fine!" he assured him. "Anyway, the sword. Did you know its from a video game?"

"Wait, what?"

"Yeah! Though I've never played one, my family is a line of gamers." Silver boasted. "One of them really liked the game this sword is from and had a real one made. After that, it got passed down, even after the world went to hell!" he explained.

"Wow!" Tatsumi expressed. "What game is it from?"

"Its called Final Fantasy 7." Silver answered. "Oh! And guess what year it came out!"

"I'm guessing a long time ago" Tatsumi remarked.

"Hm Hm…" Silver laughed. "1997"

"Geez, that's old!"

"Yeah, no kidding!"

After a while of walking through the Ghettos and talking aboit random things, Silver and Tatsumi reached their destination: The Far East Branch Den. The building was enormous, to say the least.

"C'mon." Tatsumi prompted. Silver nodded as they walk through the front gate into a large lobby like area.

"Whoa…" Silver marveled. From the entrance, Silver could see several youths, all of which looked like God Eaters, sitting different seats all around the room and chatting with each other. Walking into the room, he saw That the floor he was on acted like a balcony above the bottom floor, which was accessible by a flight of stairs on both sides of the top area. To his sides, he saw two computer-like pods on each side, with one of them occupied by a God Eater. Over the balcony, Silver could make out a girl with Red hair standing at a receptionist desk.

"This way" Tatsumi directed Silver to said receptionist desk. "Hibari!" be called to the girl as he and Silver climbed down the stairs.

"Oh! Tatsumi! She responded to him, "How are you?" She ask very politely.

"I'm even better than I was, now that I've gotten to see your beautiful face!" he answered with pride evident in his voice.

Silver giggled to himself. Are they a couple?

"Oh, stop joking around with me, Tatsumi!" She laughed at him.

"But… I'm not…" Tatsumi said, in a tone that felt like all his hopes and dreams weree crushed. "Ahem! Anyway, this here is Silver." He presented.

"Hey!" Silver greeted cheerfully.

"He's here to become a God Eater." Tatsumi finished.

"Another one? Alright. I'll let the Director know. He should be done with the other one."

"Another recruit?" Silver asked.

"Yes, we've already had someone else recruited today." Hibari said. "He should be done having hiss armlet put on." A message alert appears on Hibari's monitor. "Oh, that's the director. He say's get his info and send him in." Hibari hands Silver a clipboard and pen. "I'm going to have you fill this out. It'll then be stored into our database as soon you get your armlet, OK?" she says cheerfully.

"K." Silver replies as he starts filling out the sheet. It was simple things like Name, Code Name, preferred fighting style, experience, and weapon type. "Hey, Tatsumi." He addressed, "what's the difference between the Short word and Long Sword varieties."

"short sword is the size of that one you have right now." He explained. "Its what I use, too."

"ooh! OK!" he said as he checked the "short sword" box. He finished the form and handed it to Hibari.

"Alright, alright! We're all set!" she said. "I'll let him know you're coming. Tatsumi, can you take him there?" She politely asked.

"Sure. Cmon Silver." The two walk back up the stairs to the elevator to tbe right of two of the terminals. "Hey Hibari!" he calls out. "How about dinner tonight?"

Hibari lets out a laugh, taking his offer as a joke. "would you get going?"

Tatsumi sinks in grief and sighs. "shot down again…" he shrugged it off. "Let' Go." He said to Silver as they proceed to enter the section elevator. As they entered, Tatsumi pressed a button labeled Laboratory. Silver felt the elevator ascend as he felt his body become heavier. After it stopped, everything felt normal again and the door opened to a hallway. Tatsumi once again prompted Silver to follow him. As they walked down the hallway, a voice could bee heard around the corner behind them.

"We need to get her to the imfirmary! Quick!" a voice said in haste. From around the corner emerged two people who appeared to be medics rushing a rolling bed with an injured poerson. down thee hallway. Tatsumi and Silver step to the left of the hall as they lwt the doctors pass with the injured. As they pass Silver, he sees that the patient is aa young woman, about his own age, with pink hair that,has been messed up likely from battle damage and blood flowed down from her forehead. She groaned in pain as tbey stop at a door labeled "Infirmary".

Silver watched in vein as tbe doctors opened the infirmary door andd rolled the girl through. Silver clenched his fist, which Tatsumi noticed. "Don't worry" he assured Silver, "She'll be fine. The doctors here are outstanding."

Silver lossened his fist and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good."

"Anyway, lets get you in there for your armlet." Tatsumi said as he directed Silver to the door across from the infirmary. As they teached the door, Tatsumi press a button to open it. Beyondd it was a dark room with some kind of mechanism in the middle. "Alright, this is as far as I go." Tatsumi says. "Fair warning:it hurts like hell."

"Right. Thanks." Silver nods to him as he enters the room and the door closes behind him. He gazes around the room until a deep sophisticated, masculine voice speaks up.

"terribly sorry to keep you waiting." The voice speaks. "Allow me to bid you welcome to humanity's final fortress, the stalwart bastion of Fenrir."

Silver looks up to see the source of the voice; a middle aged man with,long blond hair in a whitee coat that went down to the bottom of his legs.

"In this chamber, we shall test your compatibility to join the Anti-Aragami Purgative Force: the God Eaters" he continues. "please, do try to relax. I assure you, there is nothing at all to fear." Silver walks towards the center of the room where the device is located. "when your ready, place your wrist in the the midde of the device at the center of the room."

Silver inspects the macbine. He notices a space on the bottom of it in the shape of a half circle. In here? He thought. He placed his wrist in ths space as the man instructed. When he did, je grabbed hold of a handle of what looked too be one of the God Eaters weapons. Umexpectedly, the top half of the device crashes down on his wrist, with another space on the top. "GGYYAAAAAHHHHHHHH" Silver cries in pain. Mustering up some courage, a look of determination appears on his face. It felt as if the divice was pumping something into his wrist and sewwing it onto his body. After moments of excrutiating pain, it eased to a stop. Silver heavily huffed in relief. The device rose back up, and when Silver looked his wrist to see what was done to it, je saw a large red ring around it. With the handle of the sword still in his hand, he lifted it yp and admired it. "Is this…. Mine?" Suddenly, from out of the sword came what semmed to be a black tentacle. The end of It crawled Into the hole of Silvers newly aquired bracelet.

"Well, congraduations are in order!" thee man from before spoke. "for being our first ever compatible New Type."

'New Type'? Silver repeated in his head.

"You are now… a God Eater!"
