A/N: The real chapter 1...

Dark ruby eyes narrowed in concentration, a hand pushing back fallen silver tresses to his eyes as he sighed in irritation. His mess of hair was pulled tight in a ponytail, with a fringe framing his sharp face as his hands continued to maneuver around his desk in a professional manner. Piles of paperworks, some signed, and some not, littered his oak desk, with one form clutched on his hand.

Captain Honne Dell scanned the form, having been received the academy results for the new troops. Today was the day they move here, having just graduated from the academy. And Dell was relieved to know that there are more additions to his organization. His lips twitched right when a knock on the door brought back his senses.

"Come in." he said, composing himself.

The door opened, revealing one of the Majors with a mop of teal hair.

"Dell," he greeted with a nod.

"Yes?"

The Major gave a quick salute, before nodging his head back towards the door.

"The recruits are here. They're waiting for you at the training grounds."

Dell sighed, rubbing his temples. It was about time.

"I'll be right there."

Nodding, the Major left without a word, leaving Dell alone once again in his office. Licking his lips, Dell shuffled through his mass of paperworks again, retrieving back the form he had put down when the Major came in. When he finally found it, he brought it up towards his face, analyzing every profile. The logo and the name 'Cross Academy' was printed in bold dark letters on top of the paper, followed by a brief proverb, in which Dell payed no attention to. He only payed attention to their performance, strength, and weaknesses.

Arching a brow, Dell hummed in approval, but it was short-lived. Only seven had past the test and graduated from the academy. Granted, their results were higher than what he hoped and expected. Still, seven is not enough to replace the hundreds that had fallen and died in his organization. The original and biggest was here in Voca City, and so far, during the years, only five bases survived, the others built on Northerm, Southern, Weastern and Easter part of Crypton respectively; and here, on the capital of Crypton, Voca City, found in the middle of Crypton where the original and largest base is. Although the other four were miniature and not as advanced as here, Dell would take it all than nothing.

Sighing, Dell stood up, fixing his buttoned-up uniform and made sure not a wrinkle was in place. The last thing he wanted was to appear unproffesional in front of mere rookies.

With the result in hand, Dell strode out of his office, locking the door before walking down the hallway towards the lift at the end. The walls were plain grey, with no decoratives but just windows to let the sunlight in. Yamaha is no place for that.

The elevator dinged open, making Dell pause and look up.

A rather young-looking woman arched her brow in surprise, stopping to see her Captain just about to enter just as she was about to exit.

"Hatsune." Dell greeted, entering the elevator with a straight face.

"Dell," she greeted back, eyeing the piece of form he had in his hand.

"I was just about to deliver my report to you." she waved the manila folder in her gloved hand. "I just got back yesterday."

"I see." The door closed on them, with the girl staying with him since he's here already. Dell accepted the report, mentally noting himself to check it right away when he got back.

"May I?" she motioned to the results.

Dell had no hesitation handing it over, trusting one of his Elites more so than anyone else in his life. He watched her scan it herself, nodding her head in approval. Tresses of ocean green hair framed her heart-shaped face, with the rest tied in twintails, letting it flow down to her small waist. She wore a black, short-sleeves buttoned-up shirt, with teal linings and breast pockets. Her shirt was tucked in her mid-thigh skirt, held by a thick, black belt with studded crystal blue rhinestones. Thigh high boots with teal soles completed her outfit, with the famous crow pin symbolizing her status on her right, breast pocket.

Elite.

"Not bad..." she murmured, staring at the highest mark with an arched brow.

"Still, they still have more ways to even beat the weakest Elite."

Dell closed his eyes, mentally sighing in aggravation. "Miku, please do not belittle yourself. You are strong in your own way." Dell stated, sensing the clipped tone in her voice.

Miku merely hummed in answer, walking out first when the elevator dinged open once more. She knew Dell would never tolerate his people doubting themselves, but in a group full of only the best, it's hard to do so.

Together, the two crossed the base towards the training grounds, with Miku insisting she wants to meet the new recruits herself and assess them with her very own eyes, and not just by rumors and a simple piece of paper. Dell had allowed her to tag along, knowing that arguing with a Hatsune is tiresome as his work.

"Is everyone here?" Dell questioned as they walked, passing by other busy workers.

Miku shrugged, "Well, I saw Mikuo on the way up to your office. And I heard that Luka and Gumi are up in their respective rooms. The guys are probably either hanging out or, are also up lounging in their own rooms."

Miku glanced up at him in question. "Why?"

Dell seemed to think it over for a moment, before replying. "Send everyone up. It's emergency."

Miku nodded, not needing for any explanation to understand.

"How about Kagamine?"

A smirk made its way on Miku's face, eyes glinting in a playful manner. "Pretty boy's still out."

Dell didn't share the same humor, instead frowning in disappointment.

Miku perked up, finally catching sight of seven figures standing next to each other in a line. Another man stood alongside them, one that Miku knew too well. His mess of ocean green was the same shade as hers, if not darker; as were the matching color of their eyes. He wore a similar outfit to Miku, with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, with dark pants on his legs, with the cuffs tucked in heavy boots reaching just a few inches down his knees. He wore gloves on his hands; one fingerless on his left, and an ordinary one on his right. His crown pin was on the left breast pocket, with a black and white striped armband cloth arond his right arm, symbolizing his position as Major.

Miku offered a smirk, stopping next to the Captain and staring at her older brother. He grinned at her in return.

"Well, hello there, sis."

Miku winked. "Hello to you too, Mikuo."

Dell let the two siblings have their greetings, taking the time as a chance to observe the group standing before him.

All seven were lined up, each standing in pride yet in respect, each not backing down from the sharp gaze of the captain. The two siblings stopped their talking, with Miku openly staring at them whilst Mikuo observed from the corner of his eyes.

Dell cleared his throat, "Welcome to Yamaha." he nodded to them. "I am Honne Dell, Captain of Yamaha Base 1."

All seven widened their eyes, flashing in anxiety of actually having to meet a captain.

"I am also in charge of all the squads." Dell stepped aside, allowing the group to see the whole base from their view. His face was set, having used to explaining and introducing the base to rookies every year.

"Yamaha has five squads, each buildings built specifically for their job. We have four extra buildings, one for the Main building where all the officers with titles' officies are found; Lieutenants, and Majors. Mine is on the top floor. Their Headquarters is also there." Dell explained, his hands flat behind his back as he watched their reactions.

His eyes softened a fraction when all of them had nothing but awe fresh on their eyes. "The other is one for all Hunters' headquarters," he gestured towards the wide and tall building with large, glass double doors next to the training grounds. "Later, you shall be shown to your own rooms and keys."

"The other is a special garage, built large enough to fit all the Gatherers' vehicles and supplies," he gestured across the base, next to the entrance where the garage was placed, only larger and more spacious than any other garage anyone has ever seen.

"We also have a cafeteria," he nodded to the one next to the headquarters building. "There are schedules concerning the subject of meals. It is required for you to follow unless you want to miss your meal." Dell added, receiving a small nod from a tall, blonde girl with peachy skin and bright, blue eyes. She was the tallest from the group, with her black skirt showing off long legs.

"And lastly, we have the Training Grounds," Dell nodded towards the building before him and behind the group, all of them turning their heads to look. Two raven-haired, a male and a female, glanced at each other. Bright, amber eyes clashing together for a second with a message passed between the two. Dell concluded that these two are Rei and Rui, the assumed Partners..

"Each squad has their building, built specifically for their field of expertise. Although they still do serve their job as a Hunter, they have their own area of what they do best at. The 5th squad," Dell gestured towards a building quite far, about three building away from the Main building to the right. "It is a laboratory and our Research Department, made for experimenting on Witches' DNA and blood and also where our weapons are made."

Dell watched one boy raise his eyebrows, impressed. His flat, snowy white hair reached his chin, framing a somewhat, childish face. He has quite the unique features, with the hair color and different shade of eyes; one a bright, summer green and the other a dull, sky blue. The boy stood next to a girl with cherry, red hair flowing down to her waist. Her eyes were the same shade of red. The two both look quite frail, yet the boy showed toned arms and legs with his sleeveless shirt and shorts. And Dell knew better than judge as far only as apperances could bring.

"The 4th squad focuses on the medical department. Our own hospital, if you may, at times. But they are also responsible for creating new antidote against casted witchcraft." Dell continued, gesturing towards the building next to the Main building to the left. He glanced to see the girl, this time, beside the boy with white hair, raise her eyebrows in interest.

"Next is the 3rd squad. The Assassination squad, their task is to target all bothersome witches without a trace and other human traitors working for witches to avoid dirt and rumors. They leave absolutely no trace." Dell stated with a clipped tone, still finding the burning anger in him on why such humans could work under Witches and side with them. He pointed towards the building behind the 5th squad, a little ways over the right. The tall blonde girl from earlier and another with bright pink locks down to her midback, with her fringe swept on one side, both the two stared longer than most of the groups, eyes lingering on the tall building. Dell saw the change in the pink-haired girl's eyes; one a moment an innocent, round green eyes then next a dangerous emerald with a feral glint on her eyes.

"The 2nd squad are the Spies. They are the eyes and ears of Yamaha, their job is to gather information and whereabouts of the witches and other odd behaviors while under cover." Dell explained, gesturing towards the building next to the 5th squad. A boy with golden, lemon hair quietly hummed, blinking one visible eye while the other was covered with a dark eyepatch. His shaggy hair teased his golden eye, the locks and curling atop his head. Dell figured he was the one with the eye disadvantage, if the eyepatch didn't indicate anything.

Pausing, Dell gestured towards the last building situated between the 2nd and the Main building. "Lastly, the 1st squad. Or also, otherwise more known as the Elites."

Dell paused, inwardly amused when all of the new group suddenly appear more alive than ever, their attention more than piqued. Beside him, Miku and Mikuo smirked in pride.

"They are the best of the best, tasked with the most difficult jobs any Hunter has. All are expert in what they do, and as also a Captain's right-hand men. Only here in this Yamaha Base, has Elites." Dell's lips twitched upwards in a small, amused smile. But was gone as soon as it was there.

"Overall, there are only nine Elites." Dell finished with a small huff. "Elites worked hard to get where they are right now so..."

Dell gave them a glance. "Work hard, and then maybe you will..."

He left his sentence like that, already knowing that they were more than fired up from the statement. He nodded towards the Hatsune siblings beside him.

"These two are Elites themselves," he stated, seeing the group widened their eyes, only noticing the matching crow pin on their breast pockets just now. Miku gave a slight wave with a bright smile, the group returning it with flushed cheeks.

"All squads are led by their Lieutenants, with their Majors as their assistants. We have Lt. Leon for the 5th squad, Lt. Yowane for the 4th Squad, Lt. Bruno for the 3rd Squad, and Lt. Shion for the 2nd Squad." he gestured towards Mikuo. "Hatsune Mikuo, himself, is a Major under Lt. Yowane."

Mikuo chuckled, scratching the back of his neck. "Yo!"

The group stared at him; part in awe and part in wondering how someone could have two position at once. An after thought crossed their minds, finding it unusual for an Elite who is under the Medical Squad.

"I was originally from the 4th Squad before I became an Elite so, yeah... Besides, I was promoted after the previous one was gone." Mikuo shrugged, giving a loopsided grin. "Double the work for me, I guess."

The new group pondered on the subject, before shrugging it off. Having two titles just spoke heights of Mikuo's skills. Nothing to be surprised for an Elite.

Dell stood straight once more, his hands on his back once more as he gained the attention back on him. "You have today to settle in your respective rooms. Tomorrow, you shall be tested, every single one of you, individually. All Lieutenants shall be present during your whole performance, and only by then will you know which squad you are. You are choosen, so do your best." Dell offered them an encouraging smile with a nod.

"Then you will have a week to settle in. Know the base. And in a week's time as well, will you receive your first mission. Understand?"

"Yes, Sir!"

Dell pursed his lips, scowling. "Louder."

All seven sucked in a breath, their hearts thudding in anticipation. After all the years of hard work... They're finally here. For their family, and for their country. A light of fire was ignited in their eyes.

"YES, SIR!"

Dell nodded, satisfied with the alert answer.

"You are now Hunters," Dell paused, staring them down. "Use that title with pride."

Dell turned towards Mikuo. "Hatsune, be their guide tomorrow."

"Sure." Mikuo nodded.

"I'll come too!" Miku jumped in the conversation, grinning when Dell nodded.

"Alright, you are dismissed."

Dell sat back on his swivel chair in his office, waiting. His fingers were interlocked, forming a bridge and pressing his lips on his hands as he waited, his patience running thin by the second. Miku said that she'll call everyone right away, but so far, only Mikuo was in his office. Raising one hand to stiffle his yawn, he scratched his head, messing his hair even further as he waited for his fellow Elites.

Three minutes later, the door finally opened without even a single knock to alert both Dell and Mikuo. The quiet office was soon filled with two, bickering voices.

"You made us late, dimwit!"

"You hid my shoe!"

"The fu- NO! Where the hell did that come from!?"

Dell cleared his throat, mentally counting one to ten to ease his anger. The two males froze, behaving themselves immediately to avoid angering their Captain even further. A man with rich, blue hair tugged on his scarf, clearing his throat. Black long-sleeved shirt hung loose on his lanky frame, his other hand shoved on his pocket in his khaki pants. The silver crow pin hung on his blue scarf around his neck, a cloth he refused to let go. He shifted his matching blue eyes away from the angry ones of his Captain, feigning innocence.

The other male was significantly taller than Mikuo and the other one, with light, purple hair pulled tight in a traditional male ponytail with two strands of hair on either side of his face with his eyes a shade darker than his hair. He donned a white sweater, with the sleeves pushed up to his elbow, showing off toned arms as he crosed them over his chest. A dark shade of purple jacket was tied around his waist, with dark pants and sandals on his feet. His crow pin was placed on shirt collar, the v-neckline complimenting his strong jaw.

"Shion, Kamui." Dell greeted, tossing away his anger for the two.

"Dell." Kaito greeted back, whilst Gakupo merely nodded. The two glared when they heard Mikuo chuckled. Neither said anything to it though, afraid that Dell would get angry again, making the male Hatsune even more amused.

The door opened once more, revealing two females this time. Miku entered the room first with a smile, greeting her brother briefly as she stood next to him.

"You should knock next time, Miku." A tall woman said in a soft voice, taking her spot next to the shorter female with a disapproving frown on her lips. Miku merely rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah, sure."

Luka sighed, shaking her head. Her strawberry pink hair fell down in rich waves, adorning her volumptous body. She wore a similar outfit to Miku, with pink linings and half the buttons undone to show off her white sports bra. Dark shorts hugged her thighs, with the crown pin on one of her front pockets. Her arms sported a pair of white arm warmers, with black stocking on her legs completed with a knee-high boots. She offered a warm smile towards everyone, including her Captain.

"Good morning, Captain." Luka greeted, sky blue eyes calm and sweet.

Dell returned her smile, always grateful to have at least one Elite who still respect him as a superior.

"Knock! Knock!"

Everyone turned towards the voice that was accompanied with two knocks on the door before it opened once again, revealing a bubbly girl and two brunettes trailing behind her.

Miku beamed. "Gumi!"

Gumi grinned in return, her bright, grassy green eyes crinkling in joy. Her lime, green hair was kept short, with two strands longer on both sides of her face. She was an inch or two taller than Miku, with a white, spandex tube top hugging her growing bust topped with a black vest just over her midriff. A green belt held her mid-thigh skirt together, with dark spandex shorts underneath, with ankle boots on her feet. Her crow pin was on the edge of her skirt, gloved fingers skimming over the pin for a second. The two brunettes nodded at the Hatsune siblings, the other standing at the middle of the formed group while the other went next to Kaito, standing between him and Gakupo and serving as a wall between the bickering pair.

"What is it now?" The bespectacled brunette whispered as he stood next to Mikuo, towering over the Hatsune but not as quite as tall as Gakupo. A mess of brown hair with matching chocolate eyes stared at Mikuo. Wearing a dark sleeveless, hooded vest with a grey shirt underneath, with dark pants with the cuffs tucked in his boots. His crow pin was placed on his vest over the right breast.

"Don't know yet." Mikuo answered back.

The brunette merely hummed, nodding at Dell in greetings as Gumi gave him a warm 'hello' smile.

"Kaito."

Kaito smirked at the brunette woman, with Gakupo doing the same. "Meiko."

Meiko situated herself between the two, her arms relaxed on either side with fingerless, fishnet gloves adorned her arms up to her shoulder. A fitting, white tank top hugged her torso, ending to her midriff with a pair of dark, leather pants adorning her long legs with her crow pin hanging on a belt loop. Meiko wore a pair of beige sandals, her toes peeking out. Her hair was cut short, curling to her chin similar to an apple cut with her fringe swept on one side. Chocolate eyes gleamed with mischief as she addressed Dell with a mere friendly wave and a simple 'Yo'.

Sighing Dell observed the group as they mingled, resembling a big, dysfunctional line of siblings. The Elites, though strong, still acted like roaming children while Dell was forced to be a father, in which he took great vexation in. Deciding to break it, Dell ushered them to listen, patient as they calmed down. All of them automatically behaved, their smiles dorrping and putting on their serious and grave faces. Kiyoteru exchanged a look with the Major, the two sharing a foreboding feeling. This was the first time all of them Elites were called up. Although they were one Elite short, that didn't ease their guts.

They were not gonna like this.

And just as Dell was about to start to discuss about the rushed meeting, he was once again interrupted when the door was opened once more.

The room was silent, all staring in slight surprise as elevator boots strolled in, connected with dark, baggy pants with the cuffs tucked in the boots. A thick belt riddled with pouches of weapons held the pants, with a sleeveless, black shirt fitting the lean body. A mess of golden, blonde locks teased the sharp jade eyes, with the rest pulled into a small ponytail on the back. A white cloak covered his figure, with the lone sliver crow pin keeping it together.

Dell sighed, rubbing his temples.

"You're late, Kagamine."

A/N: I am sorry again for the mistake... Please, I hope that this new chapter 1 is as alright as the original one. I had no back-up and anything so I had to rewrite it. Forgive me, again. I'll avoid doing that again... Lesson learned.
