No One's POV

"Major Himeko. Status report."

A powerful voice carried through the interface, connected via communications with another man on the other side.

Within a highly advanced, technological hub, stood a tall woman with red hair, smiling slightly while staring down at the images of the destroyed city. Of course, she wasn't smiling because she was happy or felt relief from seeing the destruction below, but rather, because she knew the situation was going to be controlled.

She had faith in her students.

And of course, she had faith in the man that just asked for a report.

"Kiana has taken down the main ship. But several buildings have been destroyed. I sense a few hundred honkai signatures all around the place." The masculine voice rang through the room, the very same one the woman by the name, Himeko, seemed to be talking to.

Groaning slightly, Himeko rubbed her temples.

"It's a little complicated. Long story short, Soukai City is under a great threat and it's up to us to see to it that the 30 million people that reside there are protected."

"I see. Then I shall see to it right away." The man on the other side cut the coms and decided to contact another person.

"Kiana...! I've received a report from Major Himeko."

On the other side of the coms, a young girl with white hair, tied into braided twin tails grinned brightly. Her skintight battle suit died with white, black and orange and she carried around two pistols with her. She dodged attacks from a few zombies while her blue yes playfully scanned the perimeter around her.

"Took your sweet time, huh ?" She joked.

"Save the sass for later. For you, just see to it that you stop the battleship from crashing. You will meet Mei shortly after and you can then come and regroup with myself and Bronya once we've entered the designated location. I've sent the location to you already."

He didn't bother waiting for a reply and immediately cut the coms with her.

He then turned to the girl standing next to him and smiled at her. She was a short girl with grey hair styles like drills, tied into two twin tails as well. She was quite petite and wore a passive expression on her face.

"Well, are you ready to move, Bronya ?" He asked her.

"Whenever you are ready, Captain."

Her dull reply made him close his eyes and smile softly. "I already told you to call me Alastor. We're quite close after all."

"Even so, Captain is a higher ranked officer and must be addressed as such." Her reply made him hum in response.

The captain in question, was a tall, lean male with glossy, curly black hair. His eyes were bright, crimson and seemed to radiate power, pitch black pupils and a black outline on the iris. The man in question seemed to be older than Bronya, but still young enough to be considered an older teenager. His outfit was surprisingly formal.

He didn't bother changing into a battle suit and simply wore a regular white long sleeved shirt with black dress pants, as well as a well tailored, dark tuxedo on top and a dark tie. His shoes were glossy black, properly polished and his hands, for some odd reason, were covered with white gloves. Both hands.

"Hmm. Looks like we've reached a standstill." He then turned his head slightly in her directly, his crimson eyes narrowing slightly.

He quickly waves his hand, a long weapon suddenly appearing on his hand from thin air. Red and black particles flutter around his arm as this weapon was brought to life, forming a long and powerful red scythe, brimming with power.
