Ok so Q & A time !

Q: What was the idea behind the Division in this fanfic ?

A: Well I was thinking that since there was Mokusa who are an independent organization who are labeled as terrorists and The Five Traditions who are under the control of Origami Yukari, there was no organization belonging to the government itself since 90% of The Five Traditions technically belong to Yukari. So why not make an organization that is both created and supported by the highest authority in the country who are active secretly in the shadows and only known to the highest person in charge being the Prime Minister of Japan.

In this fanfic, The Division (Strategic Homeland Division) and the JTF (Joint Task Force) are one entity instead of being two different organizations unlike in the game, albeit with a bit of change in the back story. Their real name is the Division but their cover name is Anti - Aradama Task Force Phoenix. The Toji's are essentially The Division agents while the rest (Former Toji staff, Military, Law Enforcement, Emergency Services, Scientist, Engineers) are JTF.

They are a small independent organization like Mokusa but supported by the prime minister. And only the Prime Minister and the members in it knows it exists.

Q : Between Mokusa and The Division which is more powerful ?

A : Mokusa was created long before the Division so they have contacts and informants everywhere. They have less resources than the Division but make it up with the amount of operatives and collaborators that are spread out throughout Japan. If they are found out during a mission, operatives could call the inside man/woman to help them out. But do that too much and Origami Yukari will notice in an instant.

In the Division's case, they are known by the government as Task Force Phoenix. What that means is that it is already an official organization recognized by the government. So they at least have a more convincing cover when doing secret mission's unlike Mokusa operatives who doesn't have much of an alibi.

Although they work together, They are an independent task force separate from the Five Traditions which means they don't report to the Head Origami. What they lack in numbers, they bolster it with training, technology, and experience

Q : As for his team mates did you consider making OC's instead of using the game characters ? and why the one year time skip ?

A : OK so the first question, I did but In my opinion it was a waste not to use them and I love the game characters ! They were more explained and detailed than the anime ones (Kanami and the gang).

As for the the second question...

It's because I wanted them to be closer to each other. That camaraderie between team mates and eventually becoming a group of close friends. It's also because I wanted them to become more experienced in this fanfic. Instead of being new, they are a veteran elite special forces Toji team of the Division.

They are a group of close friends that has been through hell and back.


Ok, now that the Q & A is over...

Time to list the changes.

But before that I'll give you guys a bit of context as to why there are changes in the first place.

Originally I had already written (typed) and saved chapters of the stories that haven't been proof read yet in my laptop but I forgot to rename the file. And somehow my current laptop broke down. Luckily I was able to recover the data and moved it into a new laptop (RIP Wallet) but everything was a mess and I thought the data was lost...

So I decided to start from scratch. It wasn't until recently that I accidentally found the files. The reason why I took so long was because :

1. School since I'm in my senior year

2. Not enough time

3. Me wanting to combine the old chapters with the new chapters

The original plan was to have Kiyoka to be the love interest. But because I lost the data, I decided to use Kanami. The original plan was to focus on the OC side and his team not the anime characters side.

But now that I have the files again I wanted to combine the chapters into one and try to find a proper balance.

Ok, so enough of that and now for the CHANGES SO FAR :

1. Kiyoka is now the main love interest

2. Chie and Mirja are in their 1st year of high school with Chie being older by a year old.

The reason why is because since Chie is already a third year, I wanted her to have more time with the team and matched her age with Ellen who is also a first year in high school. But I didn't want her to loose the Onee-san role so I put Mirja also in the first year but Chie is a year older than her. I also got future plans for them so stay tuned for that.

And that's it for now, I'll try to post the next chapter soon !
