Chapter 2
*Beep beep beep*
The sound of an alarm clock was heard at 4 o'clock in the morning. A hand appears out of the bed cover and slams down on the clock. A sigh is heard as the bed sheets are thrown off onto the floor. With a grunt the person finally stood up out of the bed and turned the light on of the room. The light illuminates the features of the person. It is an 18-year-old boy, he was lanky, but he wasn't thin as you would expect, instead he was quite muscular not over the top such as a body builders' structure though. He has black shoulder length hair with white stripes in it. He had a defined jawline; his eyes are green almost light-yellow color. This boy's name is John Grim.
"I should really get a less annoying alarm clock." huffed the teen out.
John made his way to the bathroom so he can do his morning routine which consisted of a shower then shave his face and brush his teeth. Finally, out of the bathroom after 20 minutes he went to his cupboard and took out the standard uniform they must wear. The uniform consists of an ash grey color long sleeved jacket with a high color. He also had ash grey long pants that complimented his black military boots. The jacket had red stripes over the chest.
The persons rank was shown with how many stripes your uniform has, one stripe is a cadet, two stripes is an officer, three stripes was a pilot, then finally four stripes is a general. John had three stripes, he was a pilot of a Chasser and he was a bloody good one at that, he is was a prodigy that could pilot one on his own. With the uniform fitting snugly on John's body he looked himself over one more time in the mirror then left his room.
He walked with a medium tempo towards the hangar where he wanted to check up on his Chasser. On his way there people greeted him as they walked past him. John wasn't looking where he was going because he was checking the news on his holophone when suddenly he bumped into someone who walked into him. Seeing as the person was going to fall, he quickly caught the person before they fell. "Ouch" he heard a soft voice say
"Did I hit a wall or something?" asked a soft female voice
When John looked closely, he saw that it was a girl he walked into. The girl was 18, short violet purple hair, her skin color was a golden brown and almost seemed as if she was half south American, and orange eyes. She had the female uniform on which consisted of snow-white blazer on the top and grey skirt with black stockings. On her blazer was red stripes as the males one did and then she had a grey beret on her head.
She was a pilot as well.Over all she was pretty cute. When she looked up, she was almost shocked by the handsome boy she just ran into. She became a stuttering mess trying to apologize for walking into this magnificent piece of artwork.
"I'm terribly sorry for not watching where I was walking!" spoke the girl quickly as she bowed while apologizing over and over.
"Hey Hey stop apologizing" replied John quickly snapping fingers to stop her apologizing over and over.
"But I walked into you shouldn't you be mad?" asked the girl confused.
"I'm also to blame I didn't watch where I was going" said John sending the girl a smile.
"Wow you got such a nice smile." said the girl dreamily.
"Come again?" asked John.
"I said wow you got such a nice personality, yeah that's what I said!" said the girl rather quickly.
"Uhm thank you Miss?" asked John hinting for her name.
"Oh, right I'm Levy Cross Nice to meet you" said the Levy as he held out one hand to shake.
"It's nice to meet you too my names John Grim" replied John as he shook her hand.
"So where were you off to?" asked Levy.
"The hangar to check on my Chasser and you?" asked John.
"Really? I'm also on my way to the hangars!" shouted Levy a smile on her face.
"You do know you were going in the opposite direction of the hangar, right?" said John amused.
"Oh, I see" said Levy as she turned around to hide the embarrassed blush on her face
"I can walk with you if you..." he started to say only to be cut off by the girl.
"YES! I mean I would be delighted." shouted Levy only to quiet out at the end.
"All right let's go then" chuckled John as the duo walked off.
When they finally arrived at the hangar, they saw all the military vehicles which looked like giant metal turtles with wheels and weapons such as Gatling guns and rocket launchers which are used to kill the creatures.
"So where is your Chasser?" asked Levy.
"It's up a head and if you don't mind me asking what dome are you from?" asked John.
"Dome 2654 it's made with a sea and everything so I grew up on coast" replied Levy a happy smile on her face.
"Sounds like a very nice place" said John.
"And what about you John?" asked Levy.
John stops and looked at her, he then slowly starts undoing his tie and unbuttoned his color
"What... What are you doing John?! "shouted Levy as she blushed and covered her face with her hands
"Just look" said John.
She uncovered her face and looked at his neck there was a bar code with 4 long stripes then 3 short ones and number 1026 tattooed underneath the stripes.
"Everyone in dome 1026 is bar coded and if you're a pilot the number of lines is the number the general calls you in the military." replied John.
"Why would they just call you numbers, you have names don't you?" asked Levy she knew some domes were strict with their piolets but this is on another level.
"Because it's easier to write a number on the death certificate than a name" said John his eyes losing some emotion as he stared blankly at the girl.
"Death certificate?" asked Levy her tone shaking a bit.
"Levy you do know being a pilot is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. We could die anytime we leave the dome" answered John.
That's why humans came to the point of making humans who can just pilot a Chasser and nothing else like John himself.
"That's so wrong life should be cherished and not just be a bunch of numbers on a report!" shouted Levy.
"Death is only natural for us pilots" said John.
Levy walked in front of John and looked him in the eyes.
"You're not going to die with me behind your back! I'm the best pilot in 2 domes!" said Levy as she pointed at herself.
"Geez I feel so safe!" said John while laughing.
"Why did you have to ruin my moment! I sounded so cool!" shouted Levy as she pouted.
"Yeah sure but thanks I'll have your back as well" replied John as he smiled and patted her head
When they arrive at John's Chasser she can't help but be amazed. John's Chasser with the code name Jack the Ripper was a pure jet-black color with golden lines along it and the fingers were golden claws that look like it could rip anything apart. Its head has a V shaped visor that glowed an eerie purple color. On Its back was a giant matt black scissor that looks like it can be two swords if it wants to.
"There he is, what you think?" asked John
"It's awesome!" shouted Levy stars in her eyes.
"So how does yours look?" asked John.
"I'll show you now" said Levy as she pointed to a red and yellow Chasser
"John, meet Nero!" shouted Levy as she smiled pridefully.
Nero was a medium sized Chasser that has a built-in black skirt and yellow armor plating on its shoulder and knees. The overall color of the Chasser was blood red. It has two guns on its lower back which look like two shotguns. On the top of her back there was a pure white and silver gladius in its case. Its head visor were two humans like eyes that glowed green.
"That's one bad ass Chasser." said John
"Thank you very much" responded Levy as she played with a strand of hair bashfully.
"Could John Grimm and Levy Cross please report to the general office now." said an Intercom system in the hanger.
"Well, seems we're being role called." said Levy.
"Seems so." responded John.
