"Wow! You look great, [Y/n]-neesan." Iris said while looking at [Y/n] in her new turnout gear. [Y/n] looked down at the fireproof, skin-light, black material that covered her body and connected to her pants. The material also came down [Y/n]'s arms and hooked around her middle fingers to hold them in place. The material covered up [Y/n]'s collarbone and shoulders, and it opened up in the back exposing [Y/n]'s back. The material connected at the small of her back. To give a bit of a sexy vibe, the material exposed a bit of [Y/n]'s cleavage in the front. The pants to her turnout were like everyone else's, and she wore black combat boots.

"I did a good job, didn't I?" Maki said, proudly, and Iris nodded.

"Is this really necessary? It'll take really strong flames to hurt me." [Y/n] said. "Of course, you can't wear your jumpsuit into battle. Besides, all of your clothes burn when you use your ability." Maki said. "True..." [Y/n] muttered while wiggling her fingers, and Iris handed [Y/n] her turnout coat. It had the signature 8 on it with luminous blue strips. The coat also had short sleeves so they would get in the away of [Y/n]'s flames. When [Y/n] put it on, the sleeves stopped in the middle of her forearm. [Y/n] decided to leave to coat open.

"We'll see you soon, Iris." [Y/n] said and patted Iris on the head. "Stay safe." She said, and [Y/n] nodded.

[Y/n] followed Maki out of the equipment room and met the men at the Matchbox. "Our new Second-Class Fire Soldier, [Y/n] Oniki." Maki presented, and [Y/n] gave her a deadpanned look. Shinra was completely speechless while the other males were impressed by Maki's work. "You're so extra, Maki-san." [Y/n] said, and she scratched her head, "It's just a new uniform. I was always apart of the 8th."

"You did good, Maki-san. [Y/n] looks great." Obi said and placed a helmet on [Y/n]'s head. "Let's go." Obi announced, and everyone piled into the Matchbox.

"By the way, Waka, we just got word from the folks at the 8th. They want to search our jurisdiction over that Evangelist matter." Konro said to Benimaru. "Too much. Ignore them." Benimaru said, and Obi came in. "Begging your pardon, but we're already here." He said.

"What do you think you're doing barging your way in here?" Benimaru questioned. "I heard that Captian Benimaru hated the bother of formalities, and we decided just to come over directly." Obi said. "So you've come here unannounced. Fine. And I don't care a bit about this Evangelist investigation, but I can't have anyone coming in to disrupt my turf." Benimaru said.

"The Evangelist is artificially producing Infernals. There's a possibility that the people of this area will be the next target." Obi explained. "That's what the empire says, right? It's not like I've ever actually seen one of them turn a person into an infernal, myself." Benimaru said and stood up.

"I'm not so naive that I believe that." Benimaru said.

"Well, [Y/n] and I have seen it." Shinra said while [Y/n] nodded. "It doesn't matter to me what some imperial dogs saw. I don't need to hear any tales from credulous pups." Benimaru said, and Shinra glared.

"And I don't need to hear that from some incredulous do-nothing." Shinra growled and pointed at Benimaru, "Captain of the 7th, sir, you're the mightest Fire Soldier, aren't you? So powerful that you forced the empire to acknowledge your town's hikeshi force? Well now it's my turn to kick your ass and make you acknowledge me!"

"'Fire and fistfights are the flowers of Edo,' huh?" Benimaru said.

Suddenly a bell was rung. "Fire! Fire! Fire!" was heard in the distance. "An Infernal?" Maki questioned. "You had to jinx us, Waka." Konro said. "Damn it." Benimaru said and walked towards the door, "Beat it on out of here before I get back."
