Sydney: Australia
"This is bullshit, what the fuck am i doing here? In case i wasn't clear the last hundred times you asked i dont do groups. I hate all of you and if this turns out to be a waste of time im eating every. Single. One. of. You." The women who spoke was pissed off, which wasn't anything knew. She was a short girl with long black hair that reached her lower back, she was dressed in a plain white butten up shirt and long black pants. One of her eyes looked blind due to an old injury however she had perfect vision.
Her name was unknown to everyone in the room, she went by the name the CCG gave her, Soul Reaper. Which was definatly well earned, she had killed a great deal of people, which was expected of a ghoul of her rank.
"Would you just relax for once, no one knows what this is about. This meeting was called by Primal." the deep voice of Robin echoed throughout the room, a few of the others gasped at the name. Soul reaper however did not, she didn't know who this guy was and didn't care.
"That name means nothing to me, i came as a curtesy and nothing more. Speaking of this asshole where even is he? Could he not be bothered to show up on time?" The other ghouls gasped again and she just got more pissed off.
"Ive been here the hole time, i like to watch people. Helps me determain who the problem children are." A deep suductive voice called out from just behind the pissed off Soul Reaper, the others in the room turned to it's source fear written on the faces.
"It's about damm time, look asshole you got some nerve makeing me wait. Im not known for my patience. This better be good or maybe ill eat you too." She threatened the newcomer, she wasn't afraid of him in the least.
"Ah if it isn't the Soul Reaper, the women who took on the Crimson Sythe and lived. Im honered." He responded without missing a beat, she just scoffed and turned away from him. He let out a short laugh and moved to stand in front of all th others. They took in his form, a tall man with grey hair in his mid twentys just like Soul Reaper. He had four braids in his hair that reached is chest, his clothing was casual and his face was rather handsom.
He decided it was time to speak to all present, he needed allies for what was to come. Though his true gole was to get the Soul Reaper, the others were not needed but would be welcomed either way.
"Alright ill get down to buisness, for those who dont know me the CCG call me Primal. I am a SSS-ranked ghoul from New York, and i am here on behalf of Ragnarok. It's a new group of S-plus ranked ghouls, we are in need of more members to carry out our objective." Before he could elaberate further the Soul Reaper interupted.
"For fucks sake i came all the way out here for this? This is such bullshit!" Primal sighed long and deep while she continued to spew insults at him, he decided to push on and ignore her for now.
"Our mission is to wipe out the doves, and to take out the puppet masters who pull their strings." Soul Reaper stopped her rant and looked to Primal, he looked dead serious and that got her attention. She wanted the CCG gone like all ghouls but never thought it possible, but what he said about the puppet masters got her attention.
"What does that mean exactly?" she asked in a serious tone.
"The CCG are not the ones in charge, i can not elaborate further unless you join our cause. I will say this much, Ragnarok is an organization on a globel scale. We are not large in size but we more than make up for it in strength. I will give you all ten minutes to make a choice." he left the room after that leaving the others to talk amongst themselfs, though Soul Reaper just kept to herself while she thought about what he had said. She had suspected for a while now that there was more to the CCG than the public knew, and she wanted to find out what it was, even if that ment joining a group.
When Primal stepped back into the room he was greeted with the sight of Robin and Soul Reaper, all the others had left. He was suprised she had stayed he was sure he would have had to track her down and offer her something more to get her to join.
"I welcome you both to Ragnarok, now i know the two of you must have questions and i shall answer what i can after we get on board our ship." he said simply
"What ship?" they both asked at the same time, Primal sighed this was going to be a long trip.
Cargo ship: the ocean
"What the fuck am i doing here? I should have just killed him and left but no… i had to let my curiosity get the better of me. It's not to late though i could still kill him." Soul Reaper had been ranting to herself for over an hour now and Robin was pissed off, she had done nothing but bitch and moan.
"Shut up." He said simply, she turned to him with a look of disbelife on her face.
"What did you just say to me?" Robin sighed and got in her face.
"I told you to shut up, im sick of hearing you complain."
"How brave of you… no it's stupid. I could kill you without any effort." She was actualy impressed with him, not many ever told her what to do and when they did they died.
"Yeah i know that, but i wont die without a fight. So go ahead and try it." Soul Reaper growled and was about to take his head off, or she would have but thats when Primal made his appearence. They hadn't seen him since they boarded the ship.
"Come now children theres no need for violence." This just further angerd Soul Reaper.
"Where the fuck have you been, i came with you for answers and you havent told us anything. So start talking or this ship wont make it to wherever it's going."
"Very well, our organization was founded by a rather wealthy individual. He asked me not to reveail his name, but he will meet with us once we arrive. The CCG are merly pawns in a much larger game, at the centre of this game is-"
Tokyo: CCG HQ
"Ladies and gentlmen welcome and thank you for comeing, im just going to get right to buisness here. Over the last few weeks high ranking ghouls have started dropping off the map all over the globe. Now normaly this wouldnt be any cause for concern, ghouls fight and kill eachother all the time after all. However some of these ghouls have been sighted here in tokyo, which is rather concerning." The speaker looked over the entire room, most if not all the best agents were gathered here, one of them stood up to speak.
"Which ones might i ask?" The man who spoke was Crimson Sythe, the best agent in Australia. He was a tall bald man with a thick black beard, in his thirtys.
"Purple eyes from Paris, The Hound from London and Soul Reaper from Sydney." the speaker said in an ominus tone.
The Crimson Sythe sat back down with a look of confusion on his face. The speaker cleard his throwt before he continued.
"Now we cant confirm this but we do have a theory, we think it's possible that a new ghoul organisation has been formed. And it consists of the ghouls who are disapearing across the globe, and that they for some reason are comeing here. which brings us to why you are all here, if the most dangourse ghouls in the world have gathered here we must destroy them. Thats why all of you are here now, we cant take the risk of them going unchecked."
This caused a sture in the crowed, they were murmering quietly to themselves. Another man stood up, in his fiftys with long grey hair, he was called whiplash.
"You mentions this was unconfirmed, yet you brought us all here. Which means if your wrong the ghouls are free to cause unchecked carnage back at our homelands. Why would you do something this stupide?" The speaker was afraid of this question, he didn't want to mention where this intel came from at all.
"Rest asured this information came from a reliable scource, we wouldnt have formed this task force over a bad feeling."
Tokyo: Shipyard
"God what a joke, stuck on a ship for god knows how long with you dipshits. Now im in fucking Japan, and on top of that you and this founder person are insane conspiricy nuts. Un-fucking belivable." Soul Reaper said as she stepped off the ship onto solid ground, she was not happy and she could see that the shipyard was deserted which was odd. The moon was out in full and the breeze was a cold but plesent on her face.
"We are not crazy… well most of us arnt." Primal stated plainly while he stretched his arms and his back, he took a deep breath of air and sighed contently, he liked this country a lot and it showed.
"Look i agreed to join you morons, but that dosnt mean i have to like or agree with you. You want me to kill someone just point. If you want me to depate conspiricys then you will be very disapointed." Soul Reaper was tired and wanted to sleep in a bed that didn't rock back and fourth with the large waves of the occean.
Primal was tired to and he knew Robin felt the same, there was a hotel not to far away that had been booked in advance of their arrivel.
"Not to far from here is a hotel, rooms have already been aranged. Lets get some decent rest and regroup tomorrow afternoon."
