Demon Drive
"Ives Genjou." Announced the man sitting behind the table upon when one of the three uniformed boys sitting on the opposite side of the table promptly stood up and adjusting his vest, approached the table.
"Yes commander...!"
"Your results from the Unit Admission Test are with me and I must say that I find them quite impressive. Never have I seen such results in the past except for a few applicants all of whom I think are now members of the Moon Demon Company. What do you have to say...?"
"I am honored to hear such words and would in turn strive to become better that I may one day make it to the Moon Demon Company and fight alongside my idol Hya-"
"I am afraid you must banish that thought from your mind," the commander leaned back in his chair and crossed his fingers on the table. "The Moon Demon Company are on a completely different league and are, as such, not an option. If you wish to join them, then I am afraid I'll have to transfer you to a different department, one that falls under Guren Ichinose, and that is... IF he is willing to take you in which I very much doubt."
Ives was discomforted, not to mention demotivated by the words of his squad commander, yet he swallowed his emotions and went on.
"I understand, sir."
"In any case, the fact remains that your results are quite incredible and that you are certainly worthy of being assigned to a unit. I would like to refer you to our newest unit, the Demon Drive Unit which, although it does not lie directly under me, is in need of a Unit Leader. Would you be willing to take up the post...?"
Ives' eyes widened in surprise, his earlier emotions slowly washing away, but before he could say a word, the commander again spoke.
"I'll let you know that should you decline, you'll be assigned a lower post in the very same unit whereupon you'll serve under a much less capable, and probably a less worthy Leader."
Is he trying to blackmail me or something...? Ives thought.
"Fine, I'll do it. I'll lead the Unit."
"Good." The commander smiled on the other end of the table before he reached into one of his drawer and pulled out a big dossier which he pushed towards Ives."The names of your Unit subordinates and their profiles are in this dossier. Report to me tomorrow at 5:00 P.M. sharp and I'll let you know what your're supposed to do. Will that be okay...?"
"Yes, sir." Ives replied before picking up the dossier and bowing.
"Welcome to the Demon Drive Unit, Squad Leader Ives Genjou."
Night fell as Ives walked into the Unit Meeting Room where he had requested all the Squad Members to meet him before they dispersed for their night patrols.
As he had expected, there were just 2 members in the room, one of whom was a girl with auburn hair while the other was a blonde boy both of whom looked bored out of their minds.
"Hey there," Ives greeted them in a most informal manner offering a smile. "Thanks for coming here on such short notice. I understand you guys have had a tiring day outside the wall."
Both of them turned to regard him and the girl even smiled back. The boy looked at him indifferently.
"Take a seat, please." Ives pointed to the set of chairs kept at the back of the room to which the duo quietly turned and headed towards the chairs.
Ives opened the dossier and placed on a table placed near the adjacent wall.
"So, you guys are Vimo Krauz and Emily Shai, am I right...?" Ives read aloud from the dossier.
"Yes, sir." The girl, Emily replied promptly raising her right hand to her face level.
The boy nodded wordlessly as he looked at Ives.
"We're short of 2 more members, do you know if they'll be joining us...?"
"Sir, Wei said she'll be here in some time and I don't know about Katsuro. He didn't reply to my message." Emily replied.
"Hm... Okay, thank you. We'll just wait a bit longer before we start." Ives answered.
Where are these guys...? Ives thought, biting his lip in impatience.
The night was getting late.[/hr]
