Kerado was running up some stairs of the shelter. When he reached level 50, he went to the elevator and pressed the button '92'. The door slides closed and Kerado takes a second to catch his breath.

He was breathing continuingly and sweat was sliding it's way down his face; engulfing his face wet.

After awhile the elevator a few minutes the door to the elevator opens and Kerado dashes out of the confinement using all his agility.

Finally he reached his destination; the minister's office.

He knocks on the metal door agile and unstop. The door soon slides open and he rushes inside.

Inside was all his crew mates. Syria and Zen were standing infront of the minister's desk while the others were standing by the wall. All their eyes were fixed on the exhausted pre adult.

After catching his breath once again, he starts to walk towards the minister's desk. He pushes Syria and Zen out of the way with small amount of his strength.

He stands face to face with the minister and ask while breathing in his face, "..I don't want to wear that stupid ass outfit!".

The room went silent at Kerado's request. A chuckle interrupted the silence which was from Alisha.

"Hehe.", She laughed.

Samirah, who was beside hit her with her elbow on her sisters shoulder. Alisha let out a small cry of hurt, "Awo.".

It was their second gathering mission. Everyone was called to the minister's office right away. The reason way Kerado was late was because he didn't want to come until he remembered that he wanted to make a request, which to him was more of a demand.

The minister's face darkened at Kerado's rude intertion of his conversation with his two captions. He got up of his chair and places and hand on Kerado's shoulder.

With the minister's action, Ken, Cyan, Samirah, Alisha, Dauntae and Syria all taught that Kerado was getting punished, while everyone else was by any mind to what was going on.

Kerado on the e other hand didn't really think this through. His eyes following the minister's face as he got up and stared right at him with dark eyes.

The entire atmosphere of the room was hot and unbearable to breath in.

The minister finally said, "That can be arranged.", saying so made his face enlighten.

The rest of the crew who thought Kerado would be punished was in awe and disbelief.

Kerado how finally heard what he wanted said, "Alright old man, thanks.". After saying such, he turned his back to the minister's and walked to the door.

Before he could exit and hand was placed on his shoulder once again. This time it was Zen who was holding him.

"Where do you think you're going? We need you and the others to fill out a few requirements.", The minister said, still standing. Veins were visible on his face making him seem anger but was hold it back with his closed eyes.

"Huh?", Kerado said in awe.

Zen answered for him,"You need to stay.".

Kerado agreed with Zen,"Ok..".

Zen pointed at the wall where everyone else was starting and Kerado walked towards it.

Kerado whispered to himself while rubbing his shoulder, "*Whisper* Damn, how strong is that guy?".
