I would have posted this on Sunday but the internet been fluctuating a lot. I had rewrite half this chapter because the network was bad when I was trying to save.
But I suppose I've bored you enough with my words.
Well here's the next chapter. Enjoy
The trip back to head quarters was uneventful other than Yuu passing on some instructions to the pilot regarding some other matters that didn't concern him. To be honest a part him was just begging for him to acknowledge his presence and talk to him, because he knew that he would have to face the shame of talking to the others and knowing that he wasn't equal to them by any measure.
His mother always told him how skilled their unit was even when they were just starting out. Kota would always brag about how great of a shot he was, and by all means he had earned the right to brag. For him to survive for so long where countless older and more experienced God Eaters like his dad had died was an incredible feat... Or maybe he was just blowing this out of proportion, yup he probably was. This is why he hated thinking.
Raising his head up to look through the window he spotted a tall sky scrapper surrounded by miles of dirt, sand and destroyed buildings. It was one of seven defence towers used to ward off large hordes of Aragami, Particularly a certain aerial type Aragami known as "Falken". Apparently it was a huge armoured dragon like Aragami that had enough fire power at its disposal to destroy an entire branch. Thankfully they were extremely rare.
Personally he strongly doubted their branch could actually survive an attack from an Aragami of that size even with those towers, but most people would sleep better knowing these things are actually out there to protect them. He may have been a coward but he wasn't fool, and he'd done his research.
Passing by the tower it wasn't long before a huge wall came into view, possibly fifty stories high and encircling the entire branch in perfect three sixty. If one looked down at the ground they would be able to see some Ogretail's and a Vajra roaming about near the wall. Far away just the way he liked them. Rising over the wall to the far east branch came into full view in all its greatness. It was a huge place filled with humongous buildings and thousands of vehicle driving by. There was a huge river flowing all around the city and added beauty to the city's already breath taking image.
Dropping of on the roof of their headquarters the doors instantly opened snapping him out his day dream
"Lets go" Yuu said as he stepped off the chopper and headed over to the elevator that led into the building. Following after him they both stepped into it and Yuu tapped the button for the Armoury so they could unload their weapons.
"So, what exactly are we going to be doing next?" the brunette asked as soon as the doors closed.
"Nothing for now, I suggest you return back to your room and rest up for now" Yuu instructed just as his phone started ringing. Reaching into his pocket he glanced down at the contact and let out an irritated sigh.
"What's the matter?" Ren asked curiously as he observed his superior.
"Nothing much , just the pains that comes with my rank" he said with small chuckle as he tapped the answer button. No sooner had he done this that they heard the faint sound of a man speaking. "Hey, Kaanagi... about what we spoke of-" quickly Yuu tapped the exit button on his phone and stuffed back into the folds of his pockets. Rubbing his temple while muttering something along the lines "that idiot again" he looked up to the tiny screen that indicated what floor they were on.
Deciding not to bother Yuu about it Ren remained silent until they made it to the floor. And with a loud beep the doors opened. Stepping into the armoury they spotted a young woman with shoulder length grey hair at the end of the armoury passing on instructions to some burly looking men who were carrying a large metal device of some sort.
"Move it a bit more to the right... No, my right! Hey you at the back, I can see you resting over there" the young woman said in irritation. If he recalled properly, her name was Licca. He had only seen her a few times since he got here a month ago so he didn't really now her that well, but form what he could tell she seemed to really enjoy working on machinery.
As the two of them got closer she turned her head over to them before offering a friendly.
"I see you two are back. How the mission go?" Licca asked as she motioned for the men to put down the device with her hand, which they happily obliged.
"We dealt with it, though Ren still got some ways to go before he's ready to join a unit" Yuu said as pulled out his god arc placed it against wall next to him. Without warning metal bindings came from the wall and rapped around the thin spear like arc.
"I see, well I'm sure you'll make it into a unit soon enough, just hang in there" Licca said offering him a reassuring smile.
"Thanks Licca" he said some what timidly. Turning back to Yuu she spoke. "Oh yeah, by the way Soma said he needed to see you as soon as you got back".
"I've got a mountain load paper work waiting for me, can't it wait Licca?" Yuu said in whiny voice.
"He says its really urgent and whatever you're doing can wait" Licca said. Exhaling deeply Yuu conceded to her words
"Fine. Did he say what's it's about?"
"Nop. But knowing him its probably got something to do with his research" she said as she leaned back on the wall and folded her arms. "That's all he ever seems to do these days, even Dr Sakaki asked him to take a break and that's saying something".
"True, I can't remember the last time we actually spoke about something that's not work related. That guy needs a vacation" Yuu said as he turned back to Ren who had remained silent so far.
"Well I guess I'll see you later Ren" Yuu said as he rumpled the boys dark hair before heading over to the exit.
"Later Yuu" Ren said as he placed his own God arc into the wall.
"I'd love to hang around and chat Ren, but I've got deadline to meet. Lets talk later okay" Licca said with an apologetic smile before turning back to the burly men and barking orders. "Break times over men, come on we've still got some work to do" Licca said with an air of superiority. The were some displeased groans but the men obeyed her anyway.
"Alright, I'll see you later Licca" Ren said as he stepped out through the same exit Yuu left through
I really wanted you guys to get an idea of this knew setting. That's why I went into so much detail for descriptions.
Well anyway, please R and R.
