Legacy of Earth

Chapter 5 - Codename: Naga

Alon fell to the ground after being punched in the face by the Second Pilot, meanwhile, Henri, Wu and Tsuna stood around with an indifferent look on their faces as though this was not a surprise. Only Marina, immediately stood in between them despite the Second Pilot towering over him and his sister.

"I hope you know why I punch you right?" He asked Alon.

"I nearly crashed the Ronin and the Kataphract into the Ship plain and simple," Alon said with a nod. He wasn't a hero he knew what he did was reckless and that he could have gotten everyone, including his family, killed for his actions.

"Not only that, but you also disobeyed orders." He continued as he offered a hand to Alon getting him up. That's right, Alon remembered that his orders were to just remain to the side and don't go off being a hero. All that was the result of him getting his emotions unchecked.

"That too," Alon said looking down with guilt.

"However, I am not blind to say that your actions while reckless, helped us fend off the Orthus in their attack." He said this time offering his hand to shake him with a smile. "You did well on your first sortie, my name is Dain Thorfinnson."

"Alon Akunawa." Alon smiled despite the pain in his cheek as he shook his hand. "I guess you can take my Gestalt Adapter."

"Rookie Luck too." Dain chuckled as he patted him on the shoulder. "We'll debrief you later, and since now that you're part of the team welcome to Memento Mori."

He walked away to help Wu as both Tsuna and Henri approached him and his sister.

"You okay Rookie?" Tsuna asked him, a little worried after the punch Dain have given him.

"It's fine, I deserved that anyway since I did get reckless." Alon shrugged even though he knew that he got carried away. While he did help, he still no doubt disobeyed orders so that punch was justified all things considered. "Good cause any other rookie would have gotten that little victory over their head, trust me a lot of rookies end up like that." Henri shrugged while Tsuna nodded.

"Well, that aside let's go see Sumeragi and finalize your standing into the Faction." He said as they made their way to the bridge again to find Hayato laughing from the damages done to the Luna Sea.

"You're one crazy bastard you know that?" Hayato said as Dain was amused too.

"Yeah, that was kind of by accident," Alon replied sheepishly, now beginning to be embarrassed from what he had done.

"I mean reckless piloting skills aside, I think there's hope for you," Dain said with a nod of approval. He looked like he was a few years older than he and Tsuna were but it was hard to tell.

"That being said as the Commander-in-chief of Memento Mori I welcome you, but as an Operator, you'll need to go by a Codename instead for safety reasons." Hayato elaborated as Alon nodded. It made sense, they are technically a terrorist organization as such they needed to use a different name to prevent being scrutinised by any government they end up with.

"Can I choose my own or am I assigned one?"

"Up to you, we can assign you one or maybe you have something more creative in mind?" Tsuna elaborated to him as he showed him a badge which had the engraving of a bird of prey on it. "In my case, I go by the Code name of Suzaku."

"My code name is Fenrir," Dain said as he tossed him the badge he owned but thankfully Alon caught it and revealed a Wolf and the words Fenrir labelled into it.

"So do you wanna make your code name or we'll give you one?" Hayato asked him but Alon kept quiet. Pondering the meaning of their codenames as Alon knew the meaning of each one.
