Many years ago, unknown lifeforms of different size and savagery came into existence. The human race had realized that they are not the only species capable of destruction. These rampaging "gods" had left the world as useless as it is now. Everywhere chaos is the only clear notice. Who would want to live in such a place?

"IF they are the same "gods" who destroyed our world, then whom can we pray to?"

"Mornin' sleepy head." the woman said calmly. I looked around and she is driving a jeep across the the great desert of Area 79, once known as the great city of Silay. A barren desert of no life. Old buildings now half-burried in sand can be seen. Will there be a possibility to restore it's former beauty? I remember, when we escaped the branch through the air duct, then through the sewers... gross. But choices aren't we have in luxury at that time. After we boarded her jeep, I was so exhausted that I slept immediately... not knowing if the person I am with is a friend nor a foe.
"Where are you taking me?" I asked.
"Cebu... from here we will drive until we reach Area 10, Sagay... from there we will take a boat to Cebu." she continued to hum an unknown tune.
"Who are you?"
"Name's Luna Vei Mara. I "was" a unit leader of Fenrir Far East Branch." she answered un a carefree voice while driving.
"1st Lt. Vei... " I tried to think... I think I heard that name somewhere... YES! "You're the hero Lindow mentioned when we were still in training." I said being amazed to whom I am with. "You mentioned was... why leave Fenrir?"
"Well." scratching her head. "You will know. Now's not the time, yet. Once we reach Cebu, both you and your loving "wife" Aira will be briefed by an old friend." I rested my head. Knowing that Aira is safe calmed me. Yes, I know I love Aira but I think she will just reject me, or am I just thinking or stupid things. Looking at the back of the large vehicle I saw her God-Arc along with mine... Wow, state of the art technology, able to store God-Arc's in a smaller space, unlike the one we had in HQ. Probably made from Kusonoki Tech.

"Was Ken able to escape?" Mak asked Lune.
"I think so yes." Lune said in a soft voice, "I hope he's okay."
"No worries, he'll be. Ken's a tough guy... though I want to confirm if it was really Vei who saved him?" "We haven't confirmed that yet, but as per the DNA that was left on the scene, it doesn't match Vei's... " Lune said concerned. "It's Lastre's. Though I am not sure since, we do not have too many info about Vei."
Maks eye widened. "Where's Lastre now?" Mak asked.
"After she was taken, her whereabouts is unknown, even to me."
"Then let's just hope for the best for him then."

I kept on looking at her. Lastre, yes, it looks like she's just an older version of Lastre. From a 20 year old it seemed like she jumped age in a woman in her early twenty's. After a few glances she asked,"I know what you are going to ask. Why do I look like Lastre?" she said, this time in a firm voice, from a childish hum into a flaming witch. whoa!
"Yes." I said suprised by the sudden change."

She smiled... and started to talk, "Lastre is my clone, an incomplete one to be exact." she sighed and continued, "after saving Corporal Amamiya they started to do studies on my DNA on how I survived after having to use another God-Arc which is incompatible with my bias factor. Dr. Sakaki was at first thrilled about the research, that if proven to be better than the current P53 Bias Factor can change the world of both the Aragami's and God-Eaters alike."

"What happened then?" I asked.

"Well, I was willing to undergo from being a God-Eater into a Guinea Pig, though I don't know what type of Aragami it is, me and Lindow were selected but Dr. Sakaki wouldn't approve it as we under his jurisdiction and if he will not be selected as the lead researcher... you just don't know Dr. Sakaki. Though he wanted to do the research, but he is seeing it as a link that can connect humans and aragami's, that if we can communicate with them, then we might be able to co-exist instead." she gave out a deep sigh, "but it was not the case, they are seeing it as an opportunity to strengthen God-Eaters. Just imagine a God-Eater with a perfect Bias Factor that makes you wield anybody's God-Arc without getting completely devoured. So Dr. Sakaki, resigned from Fenrir and took along a bunch of his close "freinds" and established Kusonoki Tech. Named after Licca Kusonoki, his personal assistant, researcher and friend. Some of the God-Eaters loyal to him, went along... including me."

"Is that even possible?" I asked.

"They said yes, but since they did not designate Dr. Sakaki as lead researcher due to conflicting viewpoints, they created a clone of me instead that they can observe. A clone that will abide with their will.. Lastre." she continued, "Directress Jean-Mina was just a scapegoat, but to kill her, I don't know why."
"You said Lastre, is incomplete... and before Directress Jean-Mina died, she said about something... White Queen." I asked.
"White Queen?" Vei gave a thought, "Nope.. doesn't ring a bell, unless they mean my Blade... well, I just named her White Queen." She tried to look at the side, as if expectinging for something, "Lastre is indeed incomplete. The one that you had joined the mission was only 5 years old to be exact. They were not able to copy me due to the interference of Oracle Cells that mereged in my body. Those clones lasts 1-2 years only. Lastre on the other hand, is an exception. She lasted 5 years and was heavily bombarded with information and drugs for her young age. She grew too fast and absorbed information faster too. She's like an Aragami within a human body. Though they were able produce a copy, but was never able to produce a memory. So, in order to complete her, they wanted a catalyst. That's why she was sent to your unit without proper introduction, they see you as a catalyst. But since you failed unto that part, I think that's why they tried to terminate you. I am not sure about their reasoning why. Maybe you can ask Dr. Sakaki later for further information"
"So is Kusonoki Tech planning to recruit me and Aira?"
"Well... not yet. First we have to clear your name and I will personally hire you and your "wife" too!" she smiled at me like a naughty kid.

"Aira isn't my wife." I said in a bitter voice. I looked back and saw my beloved God-Arc, though it is a strong weapon but It was nothing compared to Vei's silver Longsword, indeed quality God-Arc for a Quality soldier. She continued to drive into the vast desert. Suddenly Vei swerved the car, into a forked road.

"Ken! ZYGOTES AT THE BACK!"

I looked back and saw a flock of Zygotes following us. "SHOOT THEM HURRY!" she commanded while driving the Jeep. I took my God-Arc and switched to Gun Mode. Holding my God-Arc again is like holding the hands of a long lost lover. How I miss this. My Raging Lore X can fire Shot type Bullets, but still I opted for Laser Bullets for the pierce effect even if it will cost me a lot of Oracle Points. I steadied my breath, and it was hard to aim due to the Jeeps movement. Then fired the nearest Zygote! The laser pierced through it, hitting 3 more at the back. Sending them rolling into the dusty street. I fired again, this time hitting 3 more! I fired all the bullets I had but still their number is not declining, aside from that my Oracle Points are depleting fast! DAMN! Vei looked at me and said, "Hold THIS!" grabbing my back and sending me to the steering wheel. She grabbed her trusty God-Arc, composing of Behemoth Mech as the blade and Arbalest X as the gun. Both high end weapons with her gun having the best Piercing capability ever! WOW! Such equipment! Steadily she fired her gun at the Zygotes. One by one they fell down like flies, and her aim never missed any!

"VEI! Beside YOU!" I shouted to her when I saw a zygote almost ran us over. With such strength she immediately switched to Blade mode and devoured the Zygote. Entering into her burst mode, I can feel the excitement in her! Her Gun fired faster and stronger! Still the numbers are far from over, she shouted:
"I will throw a flashbomb! Then drive to full speed! That Sariel will be a pain the ASS!" she said, now looking back, indeed a Sariel is present. I havent seen that.

Vei threw a flashbomb. The blinding light light, stopped aragami into their paths and began to scatter. YEAH! IT WORKED! Or, so I though... A powerful homing laser was shot by the Sariel. I swerved to the right! The vehicle was not hit but our tire was. I lost control of the vehicle, but because we are running into full speed, we fumbled. The Jeep was down and Vei was thrown away. I was able to jump out before it got crushed. I thought, I was gonna die! The Sariel, steadily flew over us. SH*T! My God-Arc was nowhere to be found! Vei was lying unconcious, 10 meters away from me! I looked around, but I can't find It. Suddenly a large rocket crashed into the Sariel... Quadriga Rockets!
