GE Silver Chapter 11- The New Types

Todays outing took place in a destroyed subway surrounded by lava; ironically the subway I had planned to pass through to get to the Branch. Well it's a good thing I didn't.

"It's so hot! I'm melting. Melting!" Kota complained.

"Could you melt a little quieter?" Sakuya requested. "Oracle Cells help your body adapt to the heat. Any regular person would fry to a crisp the moment they stepped in here."

"Well it's a GOOD thing I didn't try to stroll through here trying to get to Fenrir." I wittingly chime in.

"Hehe… well you learn somethin' new everyday! Thank God for that!" Kota concludes. "Moving on!"

"Um... we eat those for a living so..."

"I guess Kota's not the 'grateful' type." Soma noted.

"Well neither are you." I quickly add as a joke.

"Shut up! C'mon, lets go kill the damn targets!" Soma jumps off the starting zone, and thus the mission began.

"Hehe, Sorry. Anyway, two Chi-You are the targets, right?" I ask. "Lead the way, Sakuya."

"Actually, I think you're going take point today." She tells me. I don't mind, but I do wonder why I've been chosen to lead the way on so many missions as of late.

"Um.. OK!" I confirm. "Everyone, mission start!" I leap from the start point and lead the team through the fiery subway, which might as well be hell itself. Its frikkin hot down here! We spot an tall Aragami standing on two legs, and had a wingspan of about ten feet or so, with large fists at the end of both of them. Soma and I charge at it, blades ready, while Kota and Sakuya provide cover fire from the rear. As we approached it, the Chi-You taunted us with its finger, as if telling us 'come here'. I shrugged it off and continued to rush. As we closed in, it tried to swipe us with its arm, but Soma and I jumped out of the way, and I followed up by swapping modes and firing Ice bullets on him, which the Chi-You doesn't seem to like. "Guys! Ice shots work!" I shout. As I let my guard down, I look back at the monster and it punched me and sent me backwards about 20 feet. As I recovered, I notice it shoot a flurry of flaming blasts from its hands! Acting quickly, I open my shield and find my injury healed by Sakuya.

"You Ok?" She asks me? "Watch those fireballs, they'll stun you!"

"Thanks!" I tell her, then proceed to make another approach. This time, I watch the monster carefully, and it tries to attack me with a flurry of kicks this time. I slide out of harms way and counter with a quick Devour. As I enter Burst, I switch to gun mode again fire the Aragami Bullet, and out comes a blast similar to the one that the Chi-You shot at me. On impact, the Chi-You surprisingly became paralyzed as if a trap was used. "Well, I'll take it!" I say to myself and proceed to slash at the Aragami, along with Soma. With my gunners' help also, the Aragami dies in almost no time flat and we proceed to next one. "We could have handled that better." I admit. During that fight, I did see Kota and Soma take a few hits; nothing to bad, but still… "Lets try a different approach."

"What do you have in mind?" Soma inquires.

"Hmm… I got it." I answer with a smirk.

Meanwhile Elsewhere-

Lindow snuck down a series of hallways being patrolled by infantrymen with assault rifles. In one hand, a tablet that displayed a map of the area he walked through. He easily snuck past them. After a while of 'exploring' however, when he came to a corner, something didn't seem right…

"Hm? This hallway isn't on the map…" he quietly notice himself as he looks on his map to see that there wasn't that hallway on it. He proceeded down it and came to a seal door that read 'Fenrir Personnel Only.' Lindow laughed at the sign. "I'm a damn God Eater. I'm as 'Fenrir' as your gonna get." The door required a passcode, and Lindow easily guessed what it was. "Oh-Eight-two-eight." The light on the door lit green and he proceeded to enter. After he shined his flashlight around a little, he pointed straight up to see something unbelievable.

"What the hell is that?!"

Director's Office-

"Hmhm, it seems a rat has been found in the basement." Johannes said as he watched Lindow snooping around on his monitor.

"Shall I sic my 'dog' on him?" a voice said from behind.

"Oh, come now, that won't be necessary. If we're going to do that, we at least have to make it look a little more real."

"I suppose your right, what with that girl and all."

"Yes. But Daigo is keeping her in check for us. We needn't worry."

Infernal Subway-

Silver POV

We sighted our target and proceeded with the plan. Soma and I let it see us and let it taunt us to approach it. Sakuya and I fire on it with Freeze. As the monster falls for our trick, it comes running and Soma and I charge in head first. "Wait…" I say as we close the distance. "Kota, now!" I signal. Soma and I both dash to one of the Chi-You's sides and shield our eyes. Kota then throws a flash bomb and the monster staggers.

"Hah! You can't see! You're blinded… by.. the truth! Because you know the truth… inside your head!" Kota struggles to say, trying to sound cool. "Yeah…"

"Kota, don't hurt yourself." Sakuya sighs.

As the monster is blinded, I give the signal. "Soma! The wings!" I charge a devour and grab onto the Chi-You's right wing, making my God Arc hold it tight. Soma does the same with the left wing and we pull as tightly as we can. "Open Fire!" I command. Kota and Sakuya blast it with freeze causing the monster too lose its footing and stagger. I let the wing go and help provide fire. "Finish it off, Soma!" I shout as I switch to blade mode and slash the torso, while Soma leaps up and slashes downward, cutting the monster two four pieces.

"Haha, that was awesome!" Kota cheers.

"Oracle Responses are gone. Now that's how it's done!" Hibari speaks.

"That plan was brilliant, Silver!" Sakuya complements me. "Lindow would never think to grab the wings."

"Yeah dood, and baiting him by pretending to fall for his taunt was GENIUS!" Kota added.

"I'll admit… I'm…impressed!" Soma chimes in.

I feel my face get hot as I receive all of this praise. "Guys, it was nothing, really!" I reply, trying to be modest. "I just figured 'slash and shoot it till it stops breathing!' wasn't a viable option so…"

"Well I think you did amazing today." Sakuya tells me.

I give in to their complements and softly smile. "I give up. Thank you, everyone. I couldn't have done it without you." I proudly walk to the mission exfil with my God Arc over my shoulder, and Kota rushes to walk beside me. I didn't hear Soma and Sakuya chatting behind me though.

"Hey, what's with making him call the shots, if you don't mind me asking." Soma whispers.

"Lindow wanted me to see that he's leader material." Sakuya quietly answers.

"Really, now? I'll admit the kid's got skill, but you think he'll accept a leader position anytime soon? Besides, it's not like anything's happening to Lindow anytime soon either."

"Your right. Oh by the way… you shouldn't call him kid… he's a year older than you"

"What?!" Soma shouted. "Oh yeah… he said so…"

"Hey!" Kota calls out. "What are you two dawdling for? Lets get goin!"

Back at the Den-

I approached Tatsumi who was sitting at a laptop computer at the coffee table on the upper section of the lobby. "You know that's my spot, right?" I joke as I sit beside him, drink in hand.

"Heh, well then I call 'Rank'." He retorts.

"Dammit! Galen used to do that to me! Anyway, whatcha doin?" I ask.

"I'm putting together some strategies for defensive unit positions and… stuff."

"I see. That's your Unit's thing, that's right." I remember.

"Y'know… from what both Kanon and Lindow said, I wouldn't be surprised if you became your own Unit's captain."

"Me, really? I don't think so." I softly say. "I can give directions, but I can't be a leader. Not yet at least."

"Well of course not now, you've been here what, two months?" He focused on his computer work and took a sip of his drink. "I was here for a good while before i considered becoming a captain."

"And how do you like it?"

"Its a big responsibility, and it's got its ups and downs." Tatsumi let out a small yawn and continued typing. "Anyhow, I've gotta finish this. Oh! Kanon wanted to see you. She's in her room now."

"Really? I'll pay her a visit!" I wave bye to Tatsumi and head up to my Section. As I approach Kanon's room closer to the beginning of the hallway, the door opens and a familiar person crashes into me, causing me to fall on floor and me to hit my head. If that wasn't enough, Kanon had lost her balance and fell on top of me, "Owww… again." I groan. As I look up, I just so happened to see her… um… 'pair' in my face.

"Sorry!" I hear Kanon say in a high pitch. She scrambles too pick herself up and I see her blush slightly. "I really need to stop doing that."

"It's fine. Ow, bitchtits." I say to myself as I rub my head. Kanon shoots an icy stare at me so powerful, it would probably kill a Chi-You in one hit.

"What the hell did you call me?!" She demanded, the fire in her eyes almost visible.

"Wha-No!" I say, realizing what I had said. "I didn't mean to insult you, I say it all the time!"

"It's true! Said it like 5 times on a mission the other day!" Kota butts in as he passes us by, not looking back.

"Oh…" Kanon calms herself. She reaches her hand out to me and helps me up, which reminds me of the first time. "Um… anyway, here you are, so come in." Kanon showed me into her room, which was similar to mine, but had some plants and a lot of cooking supplies in it, and a small shelf full of what looked like cook books. "Go ahead and have a seat." She insisted.

"So what did you want to talk about?"

"Well…" She brings a plate with a cloth draped over it and a pitcher of tea to the table in front of where she sat me. "I want to thank you for all you've done for me, so I figured…" She yanks the cloth off the plate to reveal an assortment of small treats. "Tadaaa! I made cookies! They're delicciiioooouuussss!" Kanon sang. I stared in awe at the snacks that she made. The simple yet colorful design is so appealing to the eye… and my stomach! "Well don't just stare at them, eat one!" I pick up a small red sandwich like cookie with white icing the middle. I examine it for a moment then take a small bite. Its… amazing! The soft crumby outside and the middle icing blend perfectly in my mouth, and their sweet flavor completely overtakes my tongue as I swallow.

"Kanon… these are amazing!" I told the culinary artist. I finish the rest of the cookie and pick up another one.

"Hmhm.. I thought you'd like them!" She sits down beside me and picks up a treat for herself. "I can't thank you enough for all your help, but I hope this is a start." She told me.

"I didn't you know baked."

"Of course!" Kanon poured us both a cup of tea. "I love baking! Making sugary treats and sharing them with others; seeing their smile when they've tasted what I made. It makes me so happy."

"Well…" I finished the cookie I had. "You have officially… thanked me enough." I look at Kanon, whose head was lowered. "You OK?"

"Oh, I'm fine! Actually, I thought about what you said before. About Soma."

"Really? What brought this on?"

"I passed him in the hall the earlier today. He looked… lonely."

"What do you mean?"

"He was just leaning next to a vending machine. He had a… sad look in his eyes. So… I want to understand Soma too!" Kanon was now speaking loudly a in determined voice. "And I'll prove to him that I'm not the weak girl he thinks I am! I'll become friends with him!"

"Heh, that's great Kanon!" I cheered her on. "I believe you have a better chance than me, even."

"Silver Usugiri, please report to the lobby immediately." I heard Major Amamiya order from the PA. "I repeat, Silver Usugiri report to the Lobby immediately."

"Well, duty calls." I say to Kanon. "Thank you very much!"

"No, thank you! Give me a sec…" Kanon pulls out a small tin container with a stylish, colorful patters on it and neatly places the rest of her cookies in it. "Here, these are there's anything I can do for you, let me know."

"Anything?"

"Yep!"

"Well…" I give Kanon my smile of confidence. "How about… one date?"

"Wh-what?!" Kanon stammered as her face turns bright red.

"Well? What do you say?"

"I…uhhmm…I don't…uhh-" Kanon stuttered for several moments, and I couldn't make out anything she said. I found her stammering adorable, and I give a small chuckle.

"You don't have to if you don't want to. Anyway, I've gotta get." I casually said. I got up and started to take my leave.

"Wait!" Kanon cried to me as I got to the door. I turned to face her. "I-I'd love to!" She accepted with a blissful smile.

"OK then. I'll see you later!" I rushed out to the hall, and put my cookies in my room. After that, I hightailed it to the Lobby, where Lindow and Alisa waited for me.

"What took you so long?" Alisa asked me. "And why do you have that massive sword?"

"What's wrong with it?" I asked.

"It's impractical because of its size and the fact that it can't kill Aragami."

"It's a keepsake. Anyway, sorry I'm late, what's up?"

"A plane from Russia crashed in the Old City. No one died, but all the people who ejected are holed up in the Church there." Lindow briefed us. "Our mission is to safely get them all back to the Far East Branch."

"Well then, lets head out!" I say, in a hurry to help those people

We arrived at the City where we were to escort the innocents to the Far East from Russia. Before we headed to the church, Lindow had some speaking to do. "Well, looks like I get the pleasure of working with both of you. I'll try not to get in the way."

"It's not getting in the way; you two Old-Types can just keep doing what's kept you alive this whole time." Alisa remarked.

"Well, then. I'll do my best to live up to your high expectation of me." Lindow tried to place a hand on Alisa's shoulder, but she let out a gasp and leapt backwards. "Whoa, OK. I take it you don't like me very much. It's fine, I'll grow on you."

"N-no, its… I'm fine." Alisa insisted, still breathing heavily.

"Are… you sure?" I asked, concern for her safety. "You don't look so good."

"Hey, Alisa. I want you to try something. If things get crazy or chaotic, I want you to look up in the sky and count the clouds."

"Count the clouds?" She repeated.

"Yeah. Its really soothing. In fact, do it right now. That's an order."

"But… its pointless."

"No, its not. Try it and you'll see. Wait here till your done. C'mon, Silv."

"Don't worry, you can trust Lindow. We'll be in the church getting the people ready." I notified Alisa. While we were walking, I found it kind of funny that she thought I was an Old-Type. "Guess she doesn't know that I'm a New-Type."

"Hey, Listen.." Lindow began in a serious tone, which was rare for him. "That girl's got some… unique baggage. Still, its hard to find anyone that hasn't seen tragedy in their lives. Look at you!"

"I guess you're right."

"Anyway, I want to ask you a favor, since your both New-Types."

"Anything!" I said sincerely.

"Can you look after Alisa?"

"Of course!"

"And if… something were to happen to me, can you… look after everyone else?"

"What?!" His request shocks me. "That's a little…" I don't have what it takes to be a leader. Just then, Lindow took out a small round object from his pocket and tosses it to me. I barely manage to catch it.

"Belonged to Galen. 'Find someone to pass it onto' he said." I looked at the object to find that it's a compass that pointed east for some reason, rather than north. "It's yours now." Lindow continued to walk towards the entrance to the church. "Find someone lost and help them. And if they loose their way... just show 'em the path."

"Umm…" I pondered for a moment to figure out what Lindow meant. Surely nothing's happening to him anytime soon, right? I stopped thinking and focused on the mission I followed Lindow , God Arc at the ready just in case the Aragami showed up. "Hey, Lindow." I spoke up to ask a question. "Alisa came from the Russian Branch, right? If these people are from there, we were they in separate planes?"

"No clue." Lindow answered. "Maybe they paid for Alisa to have her own chopper. Speaking of which, here she is." Alisa approached is in a grumpy mood. "Well, did it help?"

"They were moving to fast for me to count." Alisa answers with an attitude. "I got tired of it and proceeded to follow you two."

"Well OK then. You didn't do it right." Lindow claimed. We entered the church to see several people sitting against the church walls. There were roughly 50 of them, and several of them were wounded being mended by the other survivors.

"So many injured…" I noted to myself.

"Are you here to help us?"

"Please, don't abandon us!"

"Don't let us die!"

I stare at the large group and decide to speak up. "All of you here: I don't plan on letting any of you die! You're all going to make it to the Far East Branch alive, understand?!" I announce, resulting in many 'thank you's' from the people. "Lindow, how are we gonna get them all home safely?"

"A convoy of trucks is on its way here as we speak. Its our job to keep all these people alive until it gets here."

"No way…" I heard Hibari's say from my ear piece, fear apparent in her voice.

"What's the problem?" Lindow asks

"An uncountable flock of Zygotes is flying in your direction! They'll be at your location in ten minutes at this rate!"

"Ten minutes, huh?" Lindow lit himself a cigarette. "Hey newbies."

"Yeah?" I respond.

"Yes, captain?" Alisa did the same.

"I've got a mission for ya. Protect the church. Not a single one of them bastards gets in." Lindow ordered.

"I've already sent the rest of the First Unit out. They'll be there in about ten minutes as well!" Hibari notified.

"Heh. The band's first gig together. I like. Lindow placed his cigarette in his mouth and gave it a puff. "Alright you two, I've got three orders for you. Don't die, If your life is threatened run. Find cover. Lastly, everyone comes home alive!"

"Of course I'm not going to die. And run? What a joke! Is he always like this?" Alisa asks me, annoyed at his lack of seriousness. "And besides, that was four."

"Yep, that's our captain." I reply. "And I'm proud to have him as such."

We took the next few minutes to formulate a plan of defense. "Alright. When ii give the signal, Alisa and Kota are going to launch an explosive that will separate the monsters. After that, they'll get angry and start charging at us." Lindow briefed us. "Alisa, which mode are you more better at using?"

"If I had too choose, I say Gun-Mode."

"Alright. You'll be positioned on top of the small storage unit."

"Out in the open?" I questioned. "Isn't that risky?"

"Normally, but the Aragami should be after the mass amount of people inside. It's their instinct to go wherever there's the most food. The goal is to knock 'em down as they come." Lindow clarified.

Just then, we heard a chopper from the sky outside the church. A smirk appeared on Lindow's face. "Well then… the gangs all here."

We stepped outside to see a Fenrir helicopter carrying Soma, Kota, and Sakuya. Behind them, a large wave of Zygotes followed; an uncountable amount. "There's… so many!" I stated. I however, wasn't at all frightened. "Well to bad for them. I don't believe in 'strength in numbers."' Just then, Soma leapt down from the chopper to fall in with us.

"Soma, glad you could join us." Lindow cockily greeted.

Soma let out an annoyed sigh. "Let's just knock them out and go."

"Well since you're in a hurry… Silv!" Lindow called out to me. "Stay between Alisa and Soma and I." Lindow and Soma were each positioned on each side of the small structure that Alisa stood on. "They get past Alisa, you know what to do. Other than that, go crazy."

"Roger!" I confirm.

"Sakuya, we ready up there?"

"I'm all set." Sakuya confirms from the ear-comms "Kota, you ready?"

"Uh, I'm all set, ma'am!" Kota replies nervously.

"Kota, relax. Your role is to provide cover fire, but more importantly, make absolutely sure not to let them enter through the broken window!"

"I've got it."

"Now that were all good to go…" Lindow began as he puffed his cigerette, "Shoot the flares now!"

As Lindow commanded, Sakuya and Kota launched large blasts of fire that activated the wave of Aragami. As they come closing in, Alisa shot rapid fire from her God Arc, felling a multitude of Zygotes. Lindow and Soma effortlessly slash through any of them that passed. I leapt into the air to slash any of them that got close to Alisa so she could focus on firing, but on from the corner of my eye, I see a monster slip past her. Without hesitation, I switch modes and blast it with Spark, causing it to fall. I switch back and Devour it and use the shot I gained to take out a small herd of the approaching Zygotes. Alisa gave me a shocked look, and i gave her a 'look' of my own that said 'surprised?'. I continued swatting at the Aragami as Alisa does the same.

"Hehe, sorry Alisa!" Lindow shouts. "Forgot to mention that he's a New-Type just like you!"

"You…" she said to me still surprised, then gave me a huff. "In no way are we the same!"

She continued to go about her position until another Aragami got through. As I follow it into the Church and go for the kill, I see another one enter the window. "Look out!" I cried to warn the injured. I Jumped up and slammed it to the ground and dove down to drive my blade into it and notice it struggle to pierce the monster's flesh. Is there something wrong?! I ask myself. I shrug it off and head back out and regroup.

"Dammit… they're too spread out!" Soma observed

"New plan! Alisa and Silver, break formation. Your free to do whatever it takes to keep them outta that church!" Lindow ordered us. As soon as she hears this, Alisa jumps up to slash at the crowd of monsters. I however am shifting side to side and taking out whatever I can with my blade, being sure to Devour and keep my Burst going. As it feels like Burst isn't enough, Alisa fires a Transfer Shot to me. A fiery feeling erupts in me as I feel my adrenaline rise higher than any other Burst I've experienced. I do the same for Alisa a few times and she begins to fight even more seriously. We slash monster after monster as we find ourselves in synch switching gun and blade modes at once.

Lindow stopped to spectate our synchronization. "Heh, with two New-Types, that's what you get."

"Good Eaters, we're reading a Response Count of 30 Zygotes remaining! Your almost there!" Hibari notifies us.

"Well it looks like we'll get out of this alive after all." Lindow smugly commented. "Destroy all remaining Aragami!" The rest of us strayed from our locations to freely take out any Zygotes that still lived. I attacked a couple that Kota missed by the church's side window while Lindow swatted several others like flys alongside Soma. Sakuya knocked the rest of them from the sky, allowing Alisa to pick them off one by one before they hit the ground. As I took down the last one, I took a moment to catch my breathe.

"Heheh… " i laughed while gasping for air, which I wasn't the only one doing it. "They're… all OK…" I fell on my back to the ground in relief that the monsters were all dead.

"Hey, get up." Lindow said to me. "Missions not done till we're back home. Them's the rules."

The convoy arrived to carry the plane passengers to the Far East Branch and my team helped lead them all into the trucks and assisted the injured. When we were done, the trucks proceeded to drive to the Branch and we called for exfiltration. "Hey guys!" I said. "When we get back, dinners on me!"

"Well, I won't say no to a free meal." Lindow replied. "How 'bout you guys?" He looked toward Alisa and Soma.

"I'll pass" Soma refused. "Thanks…though." Soma showing gratitude? There's something you don't see everyday.

"I suppose I'll join you." Alisa told me.. "I do have a few things to do when we get back though."

As I'm about to ask Sakuya and Kota, I feel a painful burning sensation on the side of my face, right on top of my scar.

"Kid, what's wrong?!" Lindow asked worryingly as I cry in pain. "Answer me!"

"It… burns-Gaaahhh!" I yell, clutching the scar on my face. The agony is to much to bare and I collapse to my knees.

"Everyone! A large Oracle Response just showed up its…off the charts!" Hibari warned us. "Its approaching fast!" Just then, a large black Aragami shows himself on the roof of the church and leaps down to the ground. I look up to it and realize-

"Its you!" I growl, face still in pain. I resist the pain and get back on my feet. As I prepare to stand my ground, I hear Alisa let out an angry scream and saw her run past me open firing on the monster. "Alisa no! It's dangerous!" I tried to warn in vain. As Alisa rushes at the monster recklessly, it released a large field of red electricity around its body as it let out a roar. She manages to back out fast enough, but as the black Vajra lowers its field, its head creeps to turn in Alisa's direction and… smiles? I have to give her a hand, so I charge the monster and leapt to drive my Arc in from above. As it looks to me, I scream and thrust my blade down into its back. My blade struggles to pierce its flesh until:

*crack*

As I feel painful electric surges trough my body, I look with a horrified expression to see my God Arc's blade… shattered. As I hit the ground, barely landing on my feet, I feel my consciousness slipping as a blinding flash lights the area and I feel an arm quickly wrap around my torso and carry me off.
