DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gods Eater Burst.
Shizzles, I've re-read the chapters to check some mistake..blarg, gotta fix that later. Anyway, here's the third chappie~ Again, it's in Shiro's POV
A girl with short hair entered the room shortly after Lindow left.
What was the name? Hmm, Sakuya? Is this Sakuya?
"Hey there!" The girl greeted in a bubbly way.
"Sa...ku...ya?" I asked, unsure of how to pronounce her name. She smiled and giggled. I guess I sounded stupid.
"Mhm, my name's Sakuya, how'd you know?" She took a seat next to my bed.
"Lindow." I answered. What the heck is wrong with me? I'm only answering with one word, can't even make a phrase.
"Oh, I see. How are you feeling." Sakuya gently placed a hand on my shoulder. I lowered my head, still a bit shaken about Axe's death. Frankly, I wasn't sure whether she was asking about my emotional or physical state.
"I'm...I'm fine." I replied, lifting my head up and giving her a reassuring nod. She smiled at that. I heard the door open and close again. Now, who is it this time?
"Damn that Lindow..." I heard someone say. The guy with the hoodie entered the room with a frown on his face.
"Now, now, Soma. What did Lindow do to annoy you this time?" Sakuya joked. I looked back and forth between them, quite lost in the conversation.
"He didn't want me to do the mission, so he sent me back to check on the new girl." He casually leaned against the wall. Did he even notice that I was here?
"By the way, Soma, I'd like you to meet...uhm...what's your name again?" Sakuya turned back to me. Before I could even open my mouth, the guy named Soma spoke. "Shiro."
My eyes widened for a split-second, wondering how he knew my name, but I realized that Lindow probably told them.
"Oh. right." Sakuya rubbed her temples. "Sorry, I forgot."
"It's okay." I muttered quietly.
"Say, what's you full name?" Sakuya asked, wanting to make the conversation longer.
"Shiro Mitsuki." I replied nonchalantly.
"It suits you well." Sakuya smiled sweetly and ruffled my hair in a motherly way. Again, I heard the door open. Wow, this room is gonna be crowded sooner than I thought.
"Sakuya, Soma, I wish to speak to Shiro privately." A woman with long wavy hair commanded. Was she their boss or something? Without a word, Soma left the room while Sakuya stopped and shot me a worried glance.
'I'll be okay' I noted mentally.
"My name is Tsubaki Amamiya. I will be the supervisor of the first, second, and third units. The director had requested you to be a new recruit, it is optional. You will do training and attend Dr. Sakaki's lectures, you'll need to know more about the Aragami." Tsubaki said, her breath didn't even hitch.
"I will be a...God Eater?" I asked, a bit confused. "Me? A God Eater?"
Tsubaki nodded. "If you pass, that is. Also, let's hope that your DNA matches to the New Type of God Arc."
"But...I don't even..." I trailed off. Tsubaki smiled a little.
"I've heard about your performance during the unit's last mission. I'm sure you'd do well." She tapped her notepad thoughtfully, "So...do you accept or not?"
My mind felt like it was gonna explode, my heart was racing. Things are happening too quickly. A God Eater? Me? They must be kidding! If I became a God Eater...I'd be killing Aragami...I'd be able to avenge Axe's death. Yes, that's right.
"I accept." I finally said. I released my breath, which I didn't know I was holding.
"Good. I want your whole dedication in this. That's all." With that, Tsubaki went out and left me me dumbfounded.
(Mehehehe back to normal POV)
"Did you hear? There's a new recruit!" Kanon squealed in excitement. "I wonder if it's a guy."
"Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's a girl." Gina replied coolly.
"I hope she's cute." Tatsumi said hopefully.
"Sheesh, you're all about girls." Brendan chided. "But yeah, I hope she's cute."
Sitting nearby, was another rookie named Kota Fujiki.
"A new recruit..." Kota mumbled as he fiddled with the plush toy that his sister had made for him.
Moments later, a girl with silvery white hair and pure golden eyes got out of the elevator.
'Must be the new one.' Kota thought to himself. He took one brief glance at her and studied her looks. 'Hm, I guess the others will be happy.'
The girl went to Hibari, who seemed to be giving her directions, then left.
"I wonder if she'd pass..." Kota muttered to himself as he resumed to fiddling with the little plush toy.
Shiro's POV
I am now standing in front of a weird-looking machine. I'm starting to doubt whether I should put my hand inside on not. I wonder if this is something permanent.
"Well...?" I heard the director's voice echo through the nearly-empty room.
I gulped. I'm making them wait to long. Well, here goes nothing...
*BAM*
The machine closed, and my wrist...something's being attached to wrist...a bracelet? No, no, an armlet. My skin burns...my blood feels like it's boiling...my muscles hurt...what the hell is happening.
Instinctively, I thrashed like a little pathetic girl and tried to pull my hand away but failed miserably. It hurts so much, it feels like something's eating me from the inside.
What if I didn't match?
That was the most horrible thought that ever crossed my mind. They say that the God Arc is also an Aragami, so what if the armlet doesn't work on me and the Aragami decides to devour me?
*PAH*
Black smoke emerged from the machine as it let go of my wrist. The armlet seemed to have adjusted itself and loosened slightly, enough for my comfort. I gripped the handle of my blade and lifted it proudly as the God Arc appeared.
And that's it. My name is Shiro Mitsuki. I am now a God Eater.
I am in a rush mode. The story needs more Soma :0 I'll be updating fast because I'm almost done with the game-much to my annoyance-but I really am excited to know what happens in the end :I
