Character Bonding Scenes
Chapter 7 - Gen 1
A/N: This Fanfiction will be based on the after-battle character cut-scenes of God Eater Resurrection. The character I will be using is named "Winter" (male). His appearance is not important so just imagine it as what you want him to look like.
Winter's POV
I had just gotten back from a solo mission against an Ouroboros. It was one hell of a fight! Looking back on it though, I can see where I made mistakes. I put my God Arc into storage when Gen appears from seemingly nowhere.
"Not quite what I had back in the day. Still, you kids have got some style." He says, looking towards my God Arc and clapping me on the back.
"Come, follow me, I got some words for ya." He says and he almost pushes me back towards the lower levels of the Den. He directs me to a table with two chairs, opposite one another. On the table is a chess board with all the pieces in the starting position.
"You brought me here to play Chess?" I ask in surprise and mild annoyance as he laughs my question off and sits in a chair, gesturing me to sit in the one opposite.
"I've never had a chance to talk with you, so what better way to do so than over Chess?" He asks and I sit on the chair.
"Since you asked me about bringing you here to play Chess, I assume you know how to play?" He asks.
"I know the basics."
"That should be enough." He says as he moves his first piece, a white pawn, two spaces up.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I ask as I move one of my pawns one space up.
"How's managing your own Unit going?" He asks me, moving another one of his pawns in the process.
"Well, I didn't really know what being a leader included at first. I have always been looking out for my team mates so that is no being entrusted to create strategic plans caused me to think about the safety of others so swinging my Arc at every Aragami isn't the best plan. I've had to change my entire fighting style." I say before moving another pawn, this time two spaces up.
"Well, it sounds like you're already used to being a leader." He says as he moves his knight.
"Well, I have been the leader for a long while now." I say as I move my pawn into striking distance of one of his pieces, wanting to sacrifice it so that I can gain the upper hand. Unfortunately, Gen sees through my play.
"Haha. I'm not old enough to let you beat me just yet." He says as leaves my piece and moves a different one. Frustrated with the way he foiled my plan, I take his pawn using the one I had set up for a sacrifice earlier. He promptly reacts by taking another one of his pieces to take my pawn.
After a few more questions, I had managed to beat Gen at Chess.
"You won by the skin of your teeth. That was a good play. You'll go far, kid. You got a tactician's eyes." He tells me with a smile on his face.
