As the lights flickered to life, revealing an organized lab/bedroom, one woman tirelessly walked in and made her way over towards the terminal. As one of the many scientists in charge of overlooking the manned God Arc Soldier project for Fenrir, she had worked tirelessly in the Far East Branch to assist the God Eaters in their missions. Her mind however, was set on the captain of the Blood Special Forces, the girl she had found with her late father and raised alongside her late sister. Her blue eyes scanned the picture she had when the girl was no older than five, wondering about her safety out in the field.

Looking over herself, she couldn't help but take in the sight of her body and position. Her choice in clothes consisted of a white, long-sleeved coat over her grey and black shirt and a matching short skirt. Covering her legs were black thigh-highs with garters, a purple ribbon around her neck, and a pair of black buckled boots to complete her attire. Her reddish hair, who she inherited from her father, is at shoulder length and partially tied at the back, still allowing it to flow freely.

Sitting down in front of the terminal, her eyes had never left the picture framed and sitting on her desk, making her reach over and grab it into her hands. Bringing it closer to her, she reminisced on the day she took in the young baby along with her father, promising to watch over her to him. In her mind, she continues to uphold her promise, even if they were in different occupations in Fenrir. She then thought about her family in general, realizing that after her father's death, along with her sister's defeat at the Spiral Tree as an Aragami, the young girl she took in was all that was left for her.

Shedding a single tear, she placed the framed picture back where it was before going over her reports on the God Arc Soldiers. While the manned projects were seeing progress, she couldn't help but notice the increase in wild, unmanned God Arc Soldiers wondering the surface as Aragami. Typing in a few commands, she sent in her reports over to Fenrir Central before minimizing the findings, opening a blank document before typing in.

Dr. Leah Claudius
Age 28
Born: September 6th, 2046

It's been forever since I have done a diary entry, and I have to say that my life has been a hell of a roller coaster.

It has been several months since the discovery of the Lush Sanctuary after my sister, the late Rachel Claudius, lost her life as the Aragami dubbed 'World Closer.' While it has been the cause of celebration for the God Eaters of the Far East Branch, it made me realize that I am the only one in my family that's left. Not only that, but our world is still being ravaged by the monstrous forces of the Aragami, so the demand for God Eaters remain.

The woman, Leah, could only sigh as she pinched her nose before typing again.

One of those God Eaters, the young Elena Branwen, is among those that continue to fight against the monsters that roam the ruins of Tokyo, Japan. Even after her and the Blood unit's status as human beings, as well as the return of former Blood Captain Julius Visconti and Romeo Leoni, they chose to return to the field as God Eaters. Her determination, as well as the friendships she forged onboard FRIAR and the Far East Branch, has allowed her to take on the most challenging of missions against the Aragami.

While a part of me is glad that Elena's grown up to become a strong God Eater, a part of me also can't help but constantly worry for her safety. Even when I was growing up alongside her, my father would constantly joke about how 'motherly' I tend to be when I look over her wellbeing, and I guess in a way, I couldn't argue against it. I see her as a little sister that I have to keep safe, though ironically now, she's out there protecting what's left of mankind and keeping me safe.

She paused her typing to look at a picture she had taken on Elena's 'promotion day,' where it showed the young girl wearing a sleeveless black vest over a red shirt, complete with a pair of black jeans. She was alongside two other girls and a man in his early twenties, huddled together as the word 'Blood' was written underneath it. Leah smiled as she was the one who took the photo before going back on to the document.

At least Elena isn't alone in this fight. She has the Blood unit working alongside her, along with the God Eaters of the Far East Branch, and the members of Cradle who were once known as the 1st unit. Her first friend in Blood, Nana Kozuki, was always so cheerful, and I often see the two of them having casual conversations over that girl's Oden Sandwiches. I often wonder if those things are even edible, and sometimes think about how they're keeping their figures despite eating those most of the time.

Then there was Romeo Leoni, who we once thought was killed by the Aragami Psion Marduk. He often paints himself as the friendliest person out of Blood, though I think Nana's beaten him to the punch. I remembered the one time when he tried to imply that everyone should listen to Yuno Ashihara all the time, due to her rising popularity, only for Elena to shoot him down by saying she would rather listen to popular artists from back when there was no Aragami. I partially blame myself for that as I had an old collection of CDs from my mother, and she's been hooked on them ever since.

Out of all of Blood she spent time with on the field, no one is more suitable than Ciel Alencon, a girl I looked over when Magnolia Compass was officially open. Ciel… had a rough childhood. She was a quiet and serious person, having a calm and rather detached demeanor due to her militaristic childhood days. However, when she met Elena, she eventually grew and developed as a person, subsequently letting her make friends with the rest of Blood and the other God Eaters.

Even when Elena gets too excited or has crazy ideas regarding traps and Aragami hunts, Gilbert McLane is the one that grounds her back to reality. He is the oldest of the Blood Special Forces, and once served as a 1st Gen God Eater in the Glasgow Branch. He was infamous for the 'Fragging Gil' incident which, when I looked further in, revealed that he killed his Captain as per her wishes before she turned into an Aragami, and then devoured her body with his God Arc. Whenever he's with Elena though, he often lectures her over her reckless actions, but I know it's his own way of showing concern for her.

She then thought about Elena's many battles against the Aragami, knowing how well she can fight against the toughest of monsters and coming back with only minor injuries. One incident then played in her mind when she heard from one of the Cradle God Eaters, causing her to laugh at the young girl's displeasure. Smiling, she went on to the topic of embarrassments the young Branwen had to endure.

Over Elena's time as a God Eater, she has shown to be rather serious when a situation called for it. However, there are a few things that will embarrass her to no ends, and as far as I am concerned, only myself and Lindow Amamiya, one of Cradle's God Eaters, are the main perpetrators. Mine are always on a sensitive topic to her, while the man's is more on the lines on what happened to her on a mission that caused her newfound distaste in fighting Marduks.

My way of embarrassing the young girl is always on the fact that while she's growing up, her growth in the 'chest department' needed a lot more work to reach my level of breast perkiness. Even when I choose to bring the topic up, her face reddens up and her words became jumbled, trying her hardest to talk back. I usually end the thought by bringing out the caring side she's known, telling her that she's fine the way she is. Now that I thought about it, her breasts have been developing more, but I think it must be due to her boosted metabolism as a God Eater.

Lindow's however, was more on the lines of bringing up the time when he, Elena and the two God Eaters of the 1st unit, Erina der Vogelweid and Emil von Strasbourg, took on a job to eliminate two Fallen Kongous and the Psion mentioned earlier. When he took the new God Eaters to take care of the two monsters, Elena elected to take out the Marduk by herself. However, she immediately called for their help after the Kongou were dispatched, and when they rushed over to her, they couldn't help but laugh as the Psion acted more like a newborn pup, pinning the poor girl to the ground before licking her face. To this day after that mission, she swore to never take on another Marduk mission unless it was necessary AND have Lindow in it to have him experience the embarrassment himself.

"Attention, God Eaters Elena Branwen, Lindow Amamiya, Gilbert McLane and Tatsumi O'Mori have returned from their hunt," she heard a woman's voice echo on the speakers. "Little to no injuries. Dyaus Pita and surrounding Ogretails confirmed dead."

Hearing the announcement made Leah sigh out in relief, knowing that the girl she has known and raised as a sister was safe and sound. She worried about the part of 'little to no injuries,' hoping that Elena hadn't taken any hits during the job. She mentally reminded herself to have a look around the young Branwen for any bruises and cuts, getting back to typing on the console.

Elena has certainly grown since the day my father and I found her on our doorstep, back when he was renovating Magnolia Compass to reopen the orphanage. Despite me watching over her throughout her life, my old man contributed in ideas in making her life with the Claudius family easier. I sometimes remember him trying to have Elena call him 'daddy' when she was three, but she was so attached to me that he gave up. Still, he did his best to help her out.

That's about all I have to say for now. I don't know when I'll have another chance to make another diary entry due to my position in Fenrir. I'm sure that my father, as well as Elena's real parents are happy with her living the life she wanted, and I promise to do what I can to keep Elena safe.

This is Dr. Leah Claudius, signing off.

She took a heavy sigh before saving the document into the system, placing it in her personal files folder before getting up. Looking over herself in the mirror, she ran her hand through her hair to smooth it out, straightening out her clothes before exiting the room. She knew that Elena would be over at the lounge after the mission, making it her destination.

"Ugh, I thought that mission would never end."

"Tell me about it. Everything went so smoothly until Lindow decided to draw the Ogretails towards himself."

In the lounge of the Far East Branch of Fenrir, two men were seen sitting down by the bar in the middle, drinking the contents of their glasses. One of them, wearing dark pants and a purple jacket along with a fur-lined hat on his head, sighed as he took a swig out of his drink while his sitting partner, a young man wearing a shortened red leather jacket, a black t-shirt underneath, white pants with an orange belt, looked at his drink with a content look on his face. They were discussing their recent mission involving the Dyaus Pita and the Ogretails as they kept drinking out of their glasses.

"If you think that was bad, you should have seen what the Captain did to that Deusphage," the former ranted out, sighing. "She taunted the damn thing as if she was playing around with it, making our job harder to kill it."

"Well at least we had the chance to break its bonds, Gil," the latter pointed out, turning around to face him. "And be glad that it was the 'Heavenly Father' variant. I don't want to get a mental picture of Elena trying her luck with the actual 'Dark Emperor' variant." He then shivered over the thought. "It's bad enough without those wings sprouting out."

"I've heard about that one," Gil muttered out, taking another swig out of his drink. "Didn't it get killed by the 1st unit three years ago, Tatsumi?"

"It did, but it wasn't the only one here in Japan." The now identified Tatsumi took a sip before continuing. "And let me tell you, they are far more difficult than the Dyaus Pitas we're fighting now. Even seeing one sprout those menacing wings will scare the crap out of you."

"Or excite the hell out of Elena." Gil then shook his drink lightly before looking over to him. "But despite all the crap we go through, we still make it out alive. Despite her crazy plans and that odd hobby of collecting old world junk, she's willing to put her life on the line."

Both men sighed as they downed what's left of their drinks into their throats, slamming the glasses on the bar counter. They both cringed as the glasses themselves shattered, looking over to see an annoyed Mutsumi Chikura crossing her arms while glaring at them. Despite her being a child, they knew she had an important job of feeding the God Eaters, and that she gets very crossed when she sees something broken.

Groaning, they gave her enough credits to replace the broken glasses, seeing the young girl walk away with money in hand before feeling a hand on their shoulders. Looking back, they were greeted with the sight of Lindow Amamiya himself giving off a serious look on his face. Curious, they looked at each other before motioning the Cradle God Eater to take a seat, wondering about what he had to say.

"So Lindow," Gil started up as the mentioned God Eater took a glass with his right hand. "Care to explain to us why those Ogretails swarmed over towards you?"

"Yeah, considering that they weren't even our target," Tatsumi added in with a deadpanned look on his face.

"Chill out, guys," the God Eater spoke up, taking a sip out of his drink before continuing. "Those monsters were about to jump onto you guys, making it easier for the Dyaus Pita to kill you. I figured that, if I grabbed those giant walking tadpoles' attention away from you, you would be able to kill it without getting distracted."

"While I can't fault you for your reasons," a specific feminine voice came from behind them, making them turn to see Elena as she spoke. "You literally took away a good challenge for me to overcome."

"What, would you rather get pounced in the back by an Ogretail instead of killing a Dyaus Pita with no problems?" Lindow took a swig out of his drink before speaking again. "Elena, we all know that the outside world is far too dangerous, and a slight hint of recklessness could get you killed."

"And I don't want to deal with Dr. Leah's scolding for not keeping you grounded," Gil brought up as the Cradle member spoke again.

"We're all God Eaters, and fighting the Aragami in an unforgiving world is a big risk to our lives, but we can't show a hint of recklessness that may endanger us further."

"Besides," Tatsumi joined in the conversation, having a fond smile. "You're practically becoming like the former Captain of the 1st Unit before Kota, acting like a beacon for new God Eaters. Just… tone down the reckless actions, OK?"

"I can't be there every time you come up with a stupid plan, Captain," Gil muttered out, crossing his arms and looking at her in the eyes. "Even if some of those plans did save our sorry asses throughout our careers."

"And don't forget that you're not alone in this fight, OK?" Lindow then motioned towards himself, Gil and Tatsumi. "You have friends all around that will help out in any way they can. And if you can't take the heat any longer, we'll literally drag you back to the Den if we have to."

"So for now, relax and drink with us," Tatsumi finished, seeing her look down in thought. The three men thought that they might have said something to offend the young girl in some way, only to hear a faint laugh coming from her. They looked over to see her holding on to her stomach as she laughed, wiping away a tear in the process before looking at them with a fond smile.

"Thanks for that, you guys," she said to them, surprising them as she sat down beside Tatsumi. "Sometimes I lose myself to the excitement, so I'm thankful to have you around me." She then motioned at Mutsuki for a drink, moving her hand on the bar counter to catch a glass of soda. "I would have wondered what I could have done without you guys."

"Probably going towards an Ouroboros with no plan in mind," Lindow pointed out, getting a laugh from her and the others.

"Thinking of a way to kill two Susano'os with your Blood Art," Gil brought up, getting the others to laugh a little harder.

"Getting shot in the back by Kanon's friendly fire," Tatsumi added in, only to see everyone looking at him with a deadpanned expression. "What?"

"Dude, Kanon shoots everyone in the back," Elena brought up, shaking her head. "That's not a laughing matter."

"Way to kill the mood, Tatsumi," the Cradle God Eater muttered as he took a sip. "And we were having some good laughs."

"Well sorry for trying to help lighten the mood," the 1st Gen God Eater pouted out before thinking about something, looking at Elena. "By the way, Captain, did you happen to pick something up after the mission?"

"Just a couple of broken laptops," she answered him, finishing her drink before motioning for another. "I dropped them off over at Licca's workshop for her to fix up. I'm hoping that they would have some more music for me to load up. Why, you want me to find something for you?"

"No thanks, I'm good." He then grabbed his glass and looked at the contents before speaking again. "I was just curious as to why you were interested in that old junk."

"Well, if you want to know, I want to see the type of media people in the past watched and listen to before the Aragami made their appearance." She then pulled out her cell phone, placing it on the bar. "This is one of those things. I found it after my first mission out on the field and kept it on me till Friar came here for the first time. When I met Licca, she was excited to work on something that wasn't related to the God Arcs and told me that she can fix anything I found."

"And?"

"After that, whenever I finish a mission, I would usually look around the surrounding area until I found a piece of old world tech. So far, I have the phone right here, a couple of speakers, the laptops I mentioned before and, surprisingly, an intact motorcycle that is now sitting in the vehicle depot, waiting for me to use."

"But you don't have a license to drive," Gil brought up, finishing his drink before looking at her. "Not to mention, there's nobody around here that can teach you how to drive one."

"Still, it's cool to have one."

"But what good would it be if you don't even use it," the Blood unit member asked his captain before sighing. "At least with the other junk, you're actually getting use out of them, and you did donate some of those speakers here in the lounge, but the motorcycle is just going to collect dust, dirt and oil. Nobody's going to be using it, Elena."

"Way to be a buzzkill," she pouted. "Maybe the next time I find something, I won't tell you."

"Kind of hard if I'm in a mission with you."

"Good point."

"But Captain, are you going to help Licca with fixing the tech," Tatsumi asked her, making her think for a second.

"Considering that I have been going on missions for days on end, I'm going to be taking a few days off to relax. The same goes for the Blood unit, so we have some time to do what we want here in the Den till it's time to go back on the field." She then looked back at Tatsumi. "And yes, I'm helping our Chief Engineer with the repairs on the laptop. Gives me something to do other than relax in here."

"At least you have something planned, Captain," Gil said as he leaned back. "Unfortunately, I've been asked by Haru of all people to go out tomorrow and hunt down a Spark Borg Camlaan as well as a pair of Vajras. After that, I'm spending my time tuning my God Arc."

"Good thing you get the easy job," Tatsumi muttered out, swirling his drink before chugging it. "Unfortunately for me, the Defense unit has to stay sharp thanks to the Aragami's attacks. We don't have time to relax like you guys."

"And I have to deal with the boring paperwork involving the settlement base evaluation plans," Lindow groaned out before looking at Elena. "If you need something to do, you mind—"

"No can do, Lindow," she refused him, grabbing her phone. "Alisa would have figured out that you didn't do your job if she recognized my handwriting. You're on your own."

"Damn." He then noticed her making her way over to the lounge exit. "Where are you going?"

"Getting some air," she answered, holding her phone. "And listening to some music."

As she said that, she left the room to the care of the three God Eaters, making the men look at each other in confusion. It didn't take long for another person to enter the room, making them look to see Dr. Leah looking for someone. It didn't take long for Gil to realize who the researcher was looking for, and so he sighed before calling out to her.

"If you're looking for the Captain, you just missed her," He said to Leah, getting her attention. "She's on her way outside."

"Outside," she muttered out, turning around to leave. "Thank you."

"What was that about," Tatsumi asked as the scientist left. "Is there something I should know about?"

"Beats me," Gil muttered out before thinking. "Although, Dr. Leah does tend to spend more time with Elena recently. Maybe they have something going on that we don't know about?"

"If we're not meant to know about what they have going on, then we can just dismiss it," Lindow spoke out before calling out the young bartender. "Hey Mutsuki, hook us up with the strong stuff."

As the men continued to sit at the bar and drink on Lindow's budget, Leah was moving over to where Elena would be outside, making her way over towards the Blood Captain. She had a hunch that the young Branwen would be listening to the old world music while thinking about the family that left her in the Claudius' care. Passing by the residing God Eaters and Fenrir staff, she exited out of the building to walk on the scaffolding outside, seeing her target leaning forward while looking at the green moon.

Taking notice of the headphones in the girl's ears, she slowly made her way towards her left, stopping to lean her body on the railing. The young woman took notice of the scientist beside her and, lowering the volume down significantly before taking the left mobile speaker out of her ear. She then put it away before sighing, turning around to have her back on the railing before facing the woman that raised her.

"I had a feeling that you would be here, Elena," Leah spoke out, placing her hand on the rail. "Something on your mind?"

"Yeah, you can say that," she quietly said, looking back at the moon illuminating the night. "But it's more on the lines of personal thoughts."

"You know you can't hide things like that from me." The God Arc Soldier researcher crossed her arms before continuing. "If something's bothering you, why not share it with me?"

It took the girl a while to ponder her words before letting her words out. "Leah… I'm wondering about my actual parents…" Leah looked down as she continued. "I just wanted to know… why they left me behind…"

"Elena…" Leah started out, only to be cut off by the young girl shedding some tears as she continued.

"Why… why did they have to abandon me…" She gripped her head as the tears intensified. "Why… did they not want me or something? Was I…"

"Elena, stop thinking like that—"

"Was I not good enough for them to raise themselves…?"

"Young lady, stop it," Leah forced out, moving to grab her by the shoulders. "Your parents didn't leave you behind because they didn't want you."

"How would you know?"

"I Don't," she admitted, pulling the girl in a hug. "But I do know that they wanted you to be safe, and thought that by being raised by my family, they wouldn't have any regrets. For them, your life mattered more than their own that they were willing to leave you by our doorsteps." She then tightened the hug slightly. "They gave you to us to save you from the harsh wilds. I bet you that the thought of a baby you dying to the Aragami would terrify them to no end."

"Leah…" she muttered out in a light whisper, only for the older woman to continue.

"While it is sad that they left you, you shouldn't let it affect the life you have here now." She then loosened the hug before looking into Elena's red eyes. "You're a God Eater now, and a captain of your own squad. Don't let the past cloud your judgment and instead, focus on the future you're fighting for."

"The future I'm fighting for…"

"That's right Elena." The scientist finally let go of the young girl before giving a fond smile. "And I'm sure that your parents are proud of what you have accomplished." Taking a break, she turned around to face the moon with her. "You gained your Blood Power, you became Blood's leader, and you've avenged Romeo by killing the Marduk Scar, stopping my sister from starting the Devouring Apocalypse. Then, you unlocked Blood Arts inside everyone from Blood to the 1st Gen God Eaters, assisted Cradle with the Kyuubi, searched the Spiral Tree… and releasing Rachel from her suffering." She then looked to smile at her. "You've made your parents far prouder than everyone else, and I am happy to see you grow into a fine young lady."

"You think so…" Elena then looked down before closing her eyes, opening them to face her adopted older sister. "Thanks, Leah… I guess I needed that."

"I know you did. Now…" the older girl then smirked as she groped Elena's breast, seeing her go wide eyed while her face blushed. "Is it me, or have you been 'growing?' Cause from the looks of it, your chest department has improved."

"LEAH," she shouted out of embarrassment, only to be ignored as she continued.

"Yeah, it seems you have been gaining some more weight." She then let go before placing her arms under her own breasts, pushing them up slightly. "Though they're still leagues behind from reaching my level of perkiness."

"W-w-well what if I don't want to reach your level?" She then looked away, having a heavy blush while she pouted. "And what if I did 'grow?' They're never going to be like your bazongas."

She then heard a laugh coming from the scientist, looking back to face Leah as she spoke. "Every single time. You have got to develop some pride."

"You know I can't do that, considering that you like to 'poke around' on that specific topic." The young girl then turned away before muttering. "Besides… having big boobs would only be distracting on missions."

"While having them does have their 'perks,'" Leah started, giggling as Elena groaned over the pun before continuing. "You're fine just the way you are, Elena. You don't need big breasts to continue living your life, and trust me, they can be a hassle."

"Yeah."

"CAPTAIN," they looked over to see Elena's friend Nana rushing over to them, having a smile as she walked over to the young girl. "There you are, Captain. I've been looking all over for you."

"For me," the captain muttered astonished. "What for?"

"Well," the Blood member mumbled as she poked her fingers together. "I was just wondering if… you're interested in a sleepover in my room tonight."

"A sleepover?" She then looked over towards Leah, who only gave a nod before turning back to her friend. "I would be happy to."

"AWESOME," she shouted out, jumping up before grabbing her hands. "We're going to have so much fun, I know it. I have everything planned out to make it a night to remember."

"Hey Nana, aren't you jumping on this a little—HEY," Elena tried to get out before getting dragged by the girl, causing Leah to chuckle at the girl's expense. The Scientist then thought about how the boost-hammer wielding God Eater acted in front of her, making her believe that Nana Kozuki may have developed feelings for her. She then dismissed the thought before looking back up to the sky, taking in the sight of the green moon that illuminates the night.

"Even now," she started as she took in the night sky. "Love can bloom… even in the darkest of times."

Flames were all that had greeted the young God Eater as Elena stood in horror as to what was happening. The outer ghetto was overrun by vast numbers of Ogretails, the Far East Branch was being assaulted by hordes of Zygotes and the corpses of the Blood Unit and the other God Eaters lie littered on the surface. Hearing roars, she turned around with God Arc in hand, slashing through any Ogretail that obtained her in their sights.

She then heard a scream coming from the branch, forcing the young Blood Captain to run towards the source. She had taken notice of the Zygotes coming towards her and, gripping her Kurogane blade, jumped into the air before slicing through the egg shaped aerial monsters, landing on the ground with their corpses falling behind her. She then heard an Ogretail's roar before instinctively thrusting her God Arc behind her, piercing the monster's face before withdrawing it out of the deceased monster before continuing her push.

As she got to the center, she went wide eyed as the sight of Nana being lifted in the air by a dragon Aragami she's never seen before, choking her friend right in front of her. The young God Eater could only grip the monster's hand as she tried to regain her breath, with her coral pink eyes landing on the frightened Elena. Removing her left hand from the struggle, she tried to reach out to her captain as the monster strengthened its grip on her.

"E—Elena…" was all that she could croak out before the Aragami roared, cracking the girl's neck in front of the Blood Captain.

"NANA," she shouted out before trying to run towards her, only for the flames to surround her and obscuring her vision. "Dammit… GET OUT OF MY WAY!"

Shouting her lungs out, the girl swiped the flames away with her Kurogane, only for the heat to increase around her while the scenario around her changed. Panting, she continued her endless charge of ridding the fire around her in the hopes of reaching Nana's body, closing her left eye to keep the smoke out of her sights. As she did, black butterflies began to flutter around her, making her realize that something was not right about her situation.

"The waves of fate have begun to flow, young bird," she heard an all too familiar voice echo around her through the butterflies. "Take heed Elena Branwen, the path to your past will open towards you."

"RACHEL," she shouted out in rage. "IS THIS YOUR DOING?"

"But as the pathway towards your answers open, so too will the challenges that may shatter or strengthen you. Remember, the bonds you have forged with your fellow God Eaters are the key to surviving the trials ahead of you, and a shadow of the Far East's past will return with a plan that will affect both our world… and the world beyond dimensions."

Elena then took witness to the sight of the flames shifting, revealing a castle like building crumbling down to the onslaught of the Aragami. Turning around, she took note of two grown women, one adorned in a white cloak and the other dressed like an onna-bugeisha gripping an Odachi making their way towards the building as an obscured figure, wearing a white trench coat with the Fenrir emblem on the back, turned to face them. She then went wide eyed as the figure's eyes, shown to have jet black sclera and glowing red irises, locked on to her before raising his hand, launching a beam through the women's bodies before piercing her own.

The next thing Elena knew, her upper jerked up in a cold sweat as she let out a frightened scream, placing her hand where her heart was in her body. She panted heavily as she took in her sights, relieved to know that she was in Nana's room, seeing her Cradle vest and boots lay on the ground along with a short, pink hoodie. She then tried to calm her breathing as her eyes closed, though her mind replayed the nightmare she just had.

Her thoughts were then interrupted as she felt weight around her waist, looking to her side to see a sleeping Nana with her arms wrapped around her. She then thought back to the image of the girl dying to the unknown dragon Aragami before shaking her head and tried to get up, only to hear the girl groan before tightening her hold on Elena. The now awake God Eater could only sigh before lying back down on the girl's bed, feeling her get comfortable by her side. She could only smile over what her friend was doing, but as she closed her eyes, the images from the nightmare resurfaced, causing her to keep her eyes open for the night.

"Mhmm, Elena…" she heard Nana mumble in her sleep as her hold relaxed slightly.

"Sweet dreams, Nana," Elena whispered to her friend, moving some of her locks away from her face and getting a smile from her. "Sweet dreams…" she then looked up to the ceiling before sighing. "God knows I won't get them tonight…"

Nana's only reaction to what she had said was to move her head onto her chest, smiling as her face lied on her breast. Elena could only blush over her friend's antics, but thinking that she was unconsciously trying to calm her down, she smiled before closing her eyes once more. The images she saw before never came back afterwards, allowing the young Branwen the pleasure of sleeping through the night.

A/N: This chapter is pretty much a means to introduce Elena properly, and the way it's being carried suggests that it's set after the events of Rage Burst.

With the chapter being the way it is, I figured I would right down what Elena Branwen is like to you all. Aside from the accomplishments, she has shown to have a carefree attitude when communicating with her fellow God Eaters, but with Leah, the young girl has some thoughts that would occasionally pop up in her mind. I also thought about her collecting old world junk to use again after missions, and when I brought it up with my mom, she placed a thumbs up over Elena's choice in music.

Now for her specks on the God Arc, Elena fights with a long sword/blast cannon combination. Her preferred weapon is the Kurogane Blade E combined with her Kurogane Blast D, while her shield is set to the Greedy Kiss EX. Her Blood Art is the Vampiric Blade, which, when activated, will slowly heal her injuries after her fourth strike against the Aragami.

Next chapter will focus on Raven Branwen and what she and the bandits were up to. Due to the incident in the lab from the prologue, she has obtained a trigger that will set her off.

I like to see what the first chapter will be like

Good luck

I'm going to need that luck when I try to juggle my projects. I'm never good with switching between in progress stories.
