Chapter .7
"Minato let's go, get up bro we got a job to do." Felix pounded on the door trying to get his fellow new type to wake up, "You can't stay in there anyway we got a meeting in the lobby later today so come on!" Felix kept pounding on the door till Minato opened it and he punched him, "Dude sorry." Minato got up and pushed Felix out into the hall, "What the hell's your problem."
"I'm just trying to get you up, come on let's go we got a mission. You ever hear of a chi you?" asked Felix as the they entered the lift, "Yeah it's that bird man aragami."
"And you and I are going to hunt it down." The elevator stopped on the storage area, "Hey Licca the arcs ready?"
The mechanic girl nodded and opened two cases both with light blue blades, "The hell happened to my arc!" yelled Minato glaring and Felix, "You like it? The chi you is weak to fire and ice and since we've been on the same missions so far I upgraded both our weapons."
"I didn't ask for you to do that Felix."
"Dude what's wrong with you? I just made your god arc stronger." Minato grabbed his weapon and stomped off, "That guy really needs to open up." Felix took his own weapon and fallowed out to the world.
"Dude come on tell me something, anything." during the whole trip Felix has been pressing Minato to talk, they got into the subway when he finally snapped, "Shut up! Just shut the fuck up!"
"What's your problem?"
"Your my problem, you don't know when to be quiet!"
"Look I'm just trying to be a better friend." Felix step closer and held out his hand but Minato slapped it away, "Fine." Felix turned and and started walking but turned back, "You know what I hope the chi you beats some scene into you, you arrogant dick."
"Nosy bastard!" shout Minato.
"Fucking emo!"
"Winy bitch!"
"Fuck you!"
"Fuck you!"
"Your annoying as fuck Felix!" Minato turned and stomped off on the train tracks as Felix went down some stairs. Wondering around the tunnel Minato didn't find a his target, he thought about calling Felix but decided against it as he didn't need another lecture from him. The ground started to shack and Minato stopped and hid, Chi you walked out of the tunnel munching on some rubble, "Now's my chance."
Minato jumped from cover and rushed at the aragami till something shot him in the side, he looked in the direction and saw two cocoon maidens ready to shoot, "Damn it." Minato lunged at the chi you but had to raise his shield causing the the larger beast to punch him, Minato rolled back and switched to his gun. Remembering what Felix said he fired ice shots hitting it's arms and chest, when Minato ran out of ammo he changed back to his sword and slide past the chi you cutting at it's leg and raised his shield again to black two more shots.
"Damn it, fucking assholes!" Minato planted his feet firmly as the maidens and chi you fired at minato pinning him under constant fire till the chi you punched the shield punching Minato back. Minato was out of breath from hold up his defense he felt a shadow hovering over him and the chi you pulled back it's fist to punch him again but another shadow was in the way, "Sorry I'm late partner." said Felix blocking the chi you with his own shield.
"Look Minato I don't care about you past anymore." the chi you punched the shield again, "If you don't want to talk about it then I'll stop asking, I just was us to be friends." Felix stepped back taking another punch, "We're partners and that means we don't abandon each other because that's what a team is, we fight together and we die together."
The aragami slammed it's fist down on the ground creating a field of thunder pushing Felix back, "But if you ever need to someone to talk too I'll always lead an ear. You ready?" he asked Minato while taking a stamina pill. Minato grabbed his god arc and the two jumped at the sides of the chi you using their weapons to bite off it's fingers to go burst mode running away for the target the teens closed in on the maidens, the aragami fired at it'ss attackers but missed each shot.
"GET READY TO DIE!" shouted Minato.
"IKU ZE!" yelled Felix.
The maidens were sleeved in half and their cores ripped out as Minato and Felix saw the chi you running toward them, Felix jummped and slammed his shield into it's body to knock it down then Minato jumped and landed on it's chest and decapitated the beast and fed it's head to his arc while Felix took out the core. After the fight was over the new types sat down on some rubble, a minute passed before Felix opened up, "I'm sorry for what I said and called you. I just thought by knowing you a little better we'd be better friends."
"I guess I'm sorry too." Minato looked at his blade for a second them back at Felix, "I'm still mad at what you did."
"I thought you'd like it, I upgraded your sword to be stronger to make this job easier."
"Next time just tell me so I can decide okay." Felix got up shot Minato a grin and a thumbs up, "Sure." the two started walking out when Felix giggled, "You cut that things head off dude."
"I know. And it felt good too." they talked and laughed the whole way back and not once did Felix ask about his past. an hour after returning to the den the first unit was in the lobby wait for Tsubaki and her news, Felix put on his purple formal wear while Minato wore a blue t-shirt and black jeans.
The elevator opened. Tsubaki left it along with a unfamiliar girl. The new girl had pale skin and white hair along with blue eyes, her dress like Sakuya was rather revealing a mini skirt and a battle top with suspenders, and knee high boots. Tsubaki announced, "I have an introduction to make. This is a New-Type recruit: she'll be joining your ranks today." The girl then spoke, "Nice to meet you. My name is Alisa Illinichina Amiella. As of 1200 hours today, I've been transferred here from the Russia Branch. I look forward to working with you."
"Ten bucks she's a snob." said Felix to Lindow while poking him in the side with his elbow.
"Hey, girls are more than welcome here anytime!" said Kota with too much enthusiasm, Alisa just glared at him, "I'm amazed that you've survived so long with that frivolous attitude." That comment got Lindow to sigh and hand the money to Felix.
"Woah Kota another shot down? Man you won't even get the last girl on the planet." said Minato with a grin, Kota flipped him. Tsubaki was about to scold Kota, but Minato smacked him right across the face, throwing his cap to the side. "I don't like the flipping part." Minato hissed and Kota flinched, quickly hurrying to get his cap.
Tsubaki let out a cough to interrupted, "She doesn't have much experience in actual combat, but her scores in the simulated battle were quite stellar. You'd better train hard, or she'll soon surpass you." Tsubaki then continued, "Alisa, I want you serve under Lindow's supervision. Understood?"
Alisa nodded, "Yes, Ma'am." Tsubaki then turned to her brother, "Lindow, I need to hand off some documents to you, so come with me. The rest of you can go back to your quarters. That is all." As brother and sister left, Kota spoke first "So you're from Russia it must cold up there oh maybe not because of global warming"
The new girl ignored him and returned her attention to the other new types, "You must be Minato and Felix. the new types of this branch, they must be scraping the bottom of the barrel as they say."
"What's that mean." Felix mused already not liking her, Alisa ran her hand thought her hair getting it out of her face, "Your the type who likes it when the crowd cheers for him."
"Everyone likes a crowd cheering for them." said Felix but Alisa ignored him and turned to Minato, "And I'll guess your one who doesn't like anyone being near you, right?"
Minato gave Alisa a long, cold stare that nearly made her shiver "That depends on the person." Minato spoke "And don't babble something until you get your facts straight got that?" Minato hissed this time and Alisa slightly cringed.
"Lindow isn't gonna tell you about how to handle that beast." Felix said referring to the new type god arc "That will be us."
"Uhhh.." Alisa struggled to speak. "So watch it." Minato warned as he walked off.
"And don't you forget it!." Felix walked behind Minato. Minato barely managed to opened the elevator, until he dropped to a knee, clutching his head in pain as his vision blackened. "Ugh.." Minato choked out as he felt something ripping his head apart.
"YO!." Felix made a run towards Minato already knowing what was happening. "What's wrong?" Alisa came walking towards them as Felix crouched down "Minato? You okay?"
"Come to me." A cold voice echoed in Minato's mind as he felt his condition worsen. "What's wrong?" Almost everyone came running towards the new type. Minato started panting as sweat trickled down. "Snap out of it!." Felix yelled, rocking him back and forth.
"Heh so the new type is a human after all eh?" Shun sneered and Felix immediately punched him right across the face "Watch that tongue, I'll shove my whole god arc up your throat." Shun fell onto the ground but Kyle didn't dare make a move already remembering the previous beatdown.
"What's going on?" Lindow came running seeing the commotion. "Is those blackouts again." Felix informed. "Minato? Minato?" Lindow shook his junior who was still clutching his head in pain.
"Sunken….Grid…" The voice echoed a final time in Minato's head as his vision returned to normal. Minato slowly stood up still panting hard. "You okay rookie?" Lindow cautiously asked but Minato ignored him, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Was that just for show?" Alisa asked clearly not knowing anything. Minato's mind went haywire from the anger, he turned to Alisa with a hateful glare. "I told you don't start barking until you have the fucking facts straight. You thick headed Russian." Minato thundered. Everyone gasped as Alisa's eyes opened wide in shock.
"Stupid woman." Minato spat as he turned around, remembering the words "Sunken…Grid." Minato's mind clicked at once, he ran into the elevator, directing it to the god arc storage area.
"Minato! WAIT!." Felix ran after him, he could barely managed to see Minato running out of the storage are and into the outside.
"Fuck." Felix grabbed his own god arc and ran after him. Minato ran towards the sunken grid, not caring for what ever attacks him "I'll find that thing out." Minato swore as he shifted his god arc to beast mode and devoured an ogretail while still running.
"Out of my way!." Felix yelled as he slashed a Zygote into half. Although Felix was running fast, he was miles away from Minato. Minato arrived at the grid and jumped down."Come out." Minato yelled as he shifted his blade to a gun. "I said come out!." Minato yelled again as he spammed hellfire across the grid, hoping whatever called him here comes out.
"Hahahaha." A cold voice echoed around the grid, making Minato's blood freeze, that laugh was really similar and it scared the ** out of him. "D-Dammit." Minato yelled as he shifted back to his blade.
Felix finally came running towards Minato "HEY!." Felix yelled and instantly the laughing stopped and Minato's heart and muscles relaxed a bit. Felix cautiously approached Minato "You okay?"
"Did you hear a laugh?" Minato asked simply, still shaken from the frightful laugh. Felix gave Minato a weird look "Eh? No I only heard you screaming like a madman to come out or something."
"I see.." Minato grinned and smacked him on the back "You sure did put that new chick in her place well done." Minato chuckled despite the situation "Am I going crazy?" Minato asked himself.
