Chapter 4; Recruitment
A girl walked towards the HOLD building, walking through the door and looking around at the reception of the building. She wasn't expecting a reception, but none the less she walked towards the front desk.
"How may I help you?" the lady at the desk asked her cheerfully, smiling.
"You can hopefully help, ah, I was hoping to be able to join HOLD, as in as a HOLY member. I'm an Alter User, but I haven't ever used my powers for anything bad. Also, I think I have some information that would be quite useful to HOLY." She told the lady, resting her elbow on the desk as she put her hand on her palm.
"Do you really? I think I'll be the one to say if it's important or not, Miss." She heard a deep voice call from across the room. The girl turned to the right and saw a man with long brown hair in a HOLY uniform with a gold trim around the black looking at her, smiling.
"Ah, Commander Jigmarl!" The lady at the desk shot up and gave a quick bow as the girl raised an eyebrow at the man.
"So, you want to join HOLY, do you? Well, I'm going to need to see your Alter Abilities, and then I need you to tell me this information." The Commander paused, "What's your name?"
She told him and he smiled. "Alright, come with me."
She followed him, looking around the place as they reached an elevator. The Commander had just come out of a meeting, and it was lucky that he'd been passing by; otherwise he'd have missed out on quite a valuable Alter User.
When they reached the floor they wanted the Commander stepped out of the elevator. The girl looked around at the two completely different areas of the floor, which you could see all the way to the top of the building from. There was the area they were currently in, which was on the side with the elevator, which was the normal HOLD people's area. Then there was the area the Commander Jigmarl was walking towards, which was a brighter area. There was a big sign out the front of it that said 'HOLY AREA'.
As the girl walked behind the Commander, she noticed that there was actually no Alter Users in that part of the lounge, but she couldn't help but look around. He led her down a corridor, past what felt like a million doorways until suddenly they turned the corner and she saw a large door. He opened the door and let her inside.
"So, what's this information? I'll see your Alter later." The Commander sat in his desk chair and beckoned for her to sit on the couch by the large window. She complied and sat down on the comfy couch, cracking her neck. When she told him, his eyes widened, and then he smiled.
"That's quite interesting indeed." He paused, thinking. The room was quiet for what felt like an age and then he stood up, beckoning with his hand for her to come with him.
"Where are we going?" She asked as she followed behind him, passing through the hallway again until they stopped at a hard bolted room. The Commander pulled out a key card and pushed it into the slot, causing the ID scanner to go green. As the door slid open, she saw that there was nobody in the room and the Commander turned to her, showing her into the room.
She was suspicious but she walked in anyway, the Commander following. When she saw the room she stopped. The room had pitch black walls, only it was filling with boulders and trees and what looked like a mountain. The room seemed to be larger than it looked in the corridor, and also it was much higher as well. Everything seemed to be coming out of the floor, and it sounded like grass was crunching under her boots as she walked.
"What is this place?" She asked in awe, stepping further into the room.
"This is the place where you will show us you're Alter; treat it like a test trial if you will, of the real world. Show us what you can do." The Commander explained, walking to the far side of the room and stopping before a door that slid up in the wall. "I'll be watching from a safe distance, but you will be seen. Don't worry, just relax."
And then he was gone.
She looked around the room, trying to decide what to make her Alter out of. She rolled her eyes then, she didn't care really what it was made out of! She was here to show it off, not to be picky!
Closing her eyes, she stretched her arms above her head as her long hair flew out behind her. The multicoloured Alter Energy surrounded her as the trees nearby disintegrated as the matter flew over to connect with her body.
The Alter formed on her body, and then Commander was shocked when she was suddenly up in the air, and then every boulder in the room was cut in half, all the way through. The Commander smiled in triumph, because once again had he found a very powerful Alter User to bend to the will of HOLY. She suddenly looked up, through the unseeable glass in the side of the room and looked directly at Commander Jigmarl, smiling.
"So, is that good enough for you?" She put her Altered hands on her hips.
Yes, very much so. The Commander thought to himself.

While this was all going on, Kazuma and Kimishima were looking everywhere for Akira.
Kazuma believed that she would come back in a couple of days, so they stopped their search and continued going after the HOLY platoons and members. When they left home not two days later, Kanami collapsed and the two boys had to seek help from Mimori Kiryu, who they found in a platoon while they were going to one of the work farms.
She gave them medicine to give Kanami, and they were going to leave, although they were found out by a HOLY member, of who was told to protect Miss Kiryu. His name was Asuka Tachibana, and he used eight green balls that he could use as whatever he wanted called the Treasure Balls. Unfortunately he was defeated, and he was put in the hospital by Kazuma, although, unlike the others that he had defeated, Tachibana was still able to use his Alter Abilities.
Tachibana was removed from HOLY because of his defeat and his broken arm, which would take time to heal. Kazuma continued his search for Alter Users, but HOLY decided to fight back, worse than ever. Commander Jigmarl decided with the help of their sponsors from the main land to put every officer of HOLY into the field to stop the Native Alter Users.
He called it the Great Native Alter Hunt.
