Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Measure of Soul. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own DITF, Code:000, Cloverworks, Trigger and a few others do.

(Capital city of Cadon.)

Rex dropped out of his Klaxosaur before he looked around. He brushed off his armor and walked through the city. He blinked.

"I wonder what to do now… I doubt the council will make it easy to talk to them." He muttered, he cracked his neck and then his arms while he continued walking through the crowd.

"You know Cadon is a very big city and they have dozens of soldiers, right?" He heard from behind him and turned to look at where he had heard the words.

Rex saw Zero walk up to him and he crossed his arms while she walked right up to him. He chuckled and then rolled his eyes before he turned back to where he could see the city hall… Or was it something else?

"I know this place has a lot of soldiers; we've ended up getting here by the middle of the day. I'm sure we're going to be running into a lot of soldiers." He stated, he put his hands on his hips. He yawned slightly before he stomped his foot on the ground and then began to pace back and forth.

He wondered where the others were, they were going to find out more about communications and then contact the queen to make sure they were ready for the next part of the plan.

He sighed and continued his walk forward; he was much too tired to really care about what he would do next. He had a lot of bigger problems to deal with at the moment.

He was unaware there was a lot more rebels hunting him. he had no idea that the rebels had already caught up to him and were planning and plotting his death.

He did know he needed to make sure that the path to finding out where and when the council was. He wanted to get back to the war. He didn't know he would be away from the frontlines long enough for him to miss the sleeping in the barracks and the constant roar of battle.

He hated war, but he understood war. He was a soldier; he was very good at what he did. He fought, he lied, he stole, he killed, he spied… He did what the kingdom needed him to do.

He was a damn good soldier, even if he didn't want to fight in the war. He got some good out of it, training, friends. A giant mech?

He could be happier with nothing, but he got to meet Zero again because of that.

"You know what we're going to do next, huh?" He heard while he walked toward the hall, he turned to see Zero right next to him. She looked at him in confusion before he shrugged and then he turned back to what he was thinking about at the moment.

"We're going to have to wait. I doubt we're going to get an audience with anyone today. We showed up, we're going to be monitored by enough guards to make the queen feel jealous. I don't envy her at this rate." He stated, he patted his rifle and made sure that it was at the ready.

"So, you don't know what's going to happen?" She asked, he shrugged and then he started pacing again. He hummed and smiled before he danced on his heels at the moment.

"I don't know what we're going to do at the moment. I do know talking about it really isn't going to fix anything. We have to be willing to wait… I hate waiting." He muttered before he sighed and then he slowly sat on a bench.

He was very much surprised when the bench didn't shatter under his weight. He sighed and began to wait. He was joined by Zero in a few seconds.

"Your well aware that talking to me isn't really going to do anything, right?" He heard from Zero, he shrugged and then cracked his knuckles.

"You know I really don't care, right? I think we have a lot of bigger issues on our mind to think about, you know that, right?" He asked. Zero rolled his eyes and then she said nothing.

He chuckled at her who did nothing but sight before start laughing, finding humor in the situation at the moment. They both looked around.

"I didn't even know what we would deal with at the moment." He cracked his legs and sighed while rubbing his arms. He hummed and then he sat up. He slowly turned to look to the side.

He said nothing before both started walking again, they had a lot on their minds. They didn't care, they would get done what they could get done. they would leave the rest to people who didn't do anything else at the moment.

Both had a new sense of purpose.
