Level 50: Weapons Design Factory

"Ten..."

"Ten"

"Ten!"

Ten shocks awoke at the sound of Haya’s voice, he groaned holding his head.

"Haya-chan, did I fall asleep again?" He asked, feeling tired.

"Mm," Haya made a sound, with a nod.

"This time in the worst place" she adds.

"What -" before he could finish his words he rolled off the platform, and slammed on the metal floor hard.

"OUCH!" He yelled, tears leaking from his eyes.

"You should have let me finish," Haya pointed out.

Ten’s head cracked up to the platform against the wall he fell from that high up. "You should have said that first" he growled, standing up and cracking his back, it made a loud snap sound, his eyes spun.

"Well we’re done for the day, you have enough sleep now, she gave three days to rest after all the work," Haya said sauntering forward and arranging some tools, she did it carefully, although she didn’t hear the sound, she knew any slight drop of the screwdrivers will cost Kazuya to be jolt awoke and the others, she was fast asleep on a platform while murmuring in her sleep.

"How long have I been asleep, my head hurts" Ten groaned, adjusting his glasses properly, which wore loosely against his face.

He watches Haya with sluggish eyes as she paces the hall, she did it carefully not a single ounce of space remained, it was covered up by three large choppers.

Ten carefully made his way through the small sleeping group of workers on the floor fast asleep, some civilians who offered to work as engineers, it really has been a lot of work.

"Ten"

He flinched, turning to Haya, she smiled at his action, closing her eyes. "Let’s head back"

"S-Sure" he stammered as they both sauntered out of the hall into the lobby.

Ten scratching his hair he really needed a bath.

"How long has it been?" Haya asked, facing Ten.

Ten surely hoped it wasn’t about him not taking a bath, he was sure he smelt bad. He took a sniff of his armpit and hell the smell made his face turn green.

"6 months... 8 months ago, I gave up counting," Haya said.

"Oh," he said in realization. "It’s 7 months and a half actually", no matter how cooked up they were with lotta things he still counted.

He stared at the ceiling. "It’s been 7 months since we’ve seen them", his eyes grew sad, he wondered how they were, their training was supposed to be exactly 6 months but it took longer, he wondered if they were able to complete their set goals. He sighed.

"That long?" Haya said. "No wonder your hair is outgrown" she pointed out to Ten’s now shoulder-length curly hair.

"it’s is?" He said in awe.

Her sweat dropped behind her head. "You’re so detailed in counting how much time has passed but you have forgotten your looks, so like you," she said, flapping her hair and walking away.

"Cold," Ten said with a shiver. "Haya-chan wait up!" He yelled rushing to her side

Level 20: Prime Ministers Level

Prime minister Kiyoshi stared at the plans on the transparent computer table. In deep thoughts, his eyes were shaky.

"Everything has been finalized, Kiyoshi-sama", at the sound of Anzai’s voice his Hazel eyes shift to his red ones.

"Awaiting permission" he adds with stern looks.

Kiyoshi turned to Touka seated at his right-hand side and some guard soldiers and then at the screen showing a live video of Hachiro and Kaede, awaiting his reply.

Kiyoshi’s eyes closed for a brief second. ’This is it...’ in his thoughts as his hands tighten in a fist. ’The moment we have all been waiting for’ he opened his eyes.

The generator lights flicked in the office as a sign that time was against them and also a sign it was time to act.

"Let the war commence!"

*

"This is a global announcement" a loud voice came from the speaker, echoing on every level, the remaining thousands of humanity all paid attention to the sound, stopping every activity.

A loud siren blows also. "Every civilian should be really on the go in 48 hours", the siren alarm blows clamorously. "I repeat all civilians should be really on the go in 48 hours... take whatever you can carry, a specific amount of weight is allowed, I repeat a specific amount of weight is allowed"

A loud chatter erupted in the area as the civilians hurried back and forth making their arrangements, the guards also put in more orders for them to hurry up and get moving.

"All civilians should be really on the go in 48 hours, all civilians should be assembled at level 50 within 48 hours".

The siren was clamorous as a means to them to keep up their pace.

Level 17: Bio-genetics Level

Room Hall

"So it’s started huh," Kaname said gulping before running his hands in his golden locks. He rose to his feet.

"Alright, no time to dull, keep it together" he warmed up.

Ryu slides his room door up. "Hey hurry up, and get dressed"

"Hey, I know that already you should at least knock!" Kaname barked with white eyes.

"Just get your ass moving," he said grinning.

Kaname growled.

"Both of you knock it off, now behind not the time for this" Saho’s voice came behind.

***

Yumi’s hands shook as she held onto her military jacket.

"Are you alright Yuki?" Mary asked behind.

She gulped. "I’m fine just..." she shakes more.

Mary came behind her, taking her two hands, she faced her.

"Everything is gonna be okay, I will be with you all the way," she said with a smile against her lips.

As much as how Yumi wanted to lean on that she quickly took her hands away, she may be the smallest and all but she wasn’t gonna let that weigh her down, they have all trained their heart, body, and soul for the past 7 months and a half for this very day, THIS day, there was no backing away now.

"I will be alright," she said with fire in her blue eyes.
