Chapter 3: Chapter 3
After the announcement was made both John and Levy made their way to the general's office. When they arrived at the office, they saw two other teenagers there, both of them were pilots. The first teenager was a girl who was of medium height, she had long white hair that reached down to her hips and pale almost powder snow skin color while having cold blue eyes that could freeze you with her gaze. The other one was a boy, he was tall almost as tall as John, he had blonde hair almost golden with light brown eyes that held such arrogance John could feel it a mile away.
"Ah I'm glad you both could grace us with your presence." said the General.
"Sorry for being late sir." said John and Levy together.
"Now that you all are here please introduce your self's" said the general.
"Well I'll start seeing as how I'm the best between us all My name is Devon So'leer heir to the So'leer company. What is your name snow angel?" said Devon as he held the girl with white hair hand kissing it softly.
"Don't touch me otherwise ill squash you like the bug you are" responded the girl as she glared at Devon.
"Oh, but I would very much enjoy that" said Devon dreamily as he smiled and fixed his hair.
"The name's Thorin Lüs , hope you two aren't an arrogant ass who's probably got daddy issues like him" spoke Thorin out as she pointed at Devon
"Right... my name is John Grim please to meet you" introduced John.
"My name is Levy Cross nice to meet you all" said Levy as she smiled at everyone.
"Right now, that everyone is introduced, sit down and shut up I'm going to give you the mission brief" said the General.
All of them sat down at a square shaped table and there was a small cylinder next to the general.
"Last month we got a distress signal from dome 9732, now as you may know, this particular dome was the latest version, mounted cannons, and other self-defense weapons were built for it in case a Chasser's couldn't be there to protect the people." spoke the general out.
"If it's so great and all why did it send a signal?" said Thorin annoyed.
"That's what we are trying to figure out, but watch the video." told the general to the piolets.
The general pressed the small cylinder and a holographic screen was shown. On the screen it showed a man breathing heavily as if he ran a marathon.
"This is dome 9732 sending a distress signal to all local domes do you copy? There was a breach in the labs... "The man looks around; the man starts to breath heavier and heavier. In the background we can hear a faint clicking noise, it was an eerie sound, one that sent chills down all their spines.
The man starts crying and keeps repeating: "I don't wanna die I don't wanna die. Then everything was dead quiet. We all leaned forward to see the man frozen looking up above the camera. There was a low growl then suddenly the camera was thrown on the floor. It showed the man screaming and shouting as whatever the hell it was, was feasting on him while he was alive. The screams filled the room until it stopped ... The only noise left in the video was the sound of crunching of bones and flesh being torn off. The video stopped there.
Silence filled the room, no one made any sound, everyone was pale as if they had seen a ghost, except for John. He had a blank look on his face, not any expressions made its way onto his face.
"Ok what the hell was that?" shouted Thorin.
"We don't know" spoke the general softly.
"You don't know? Aren't you supposed to know! "shouted Devon.
Slowly all the team members began to argue except for Levy as she was stuck standing in place as she still can't get over what she just witnessed. John seeing that she was frozen placed a hand on her shoulder
"Hey Lev take deep breaths." said John as he squeezed her shoulder reassuringly.
"She must not saw someone die in front of her yet" thought John to himself.
Levy finally snapped out of her daze and saw John giving her a reassuring smile, she gave a small smile back.
"Thank you" she said softly.
"Shut the hell up right now you two!" shouted the General as he slammed his fist onto his desk
Both Devon and Thorin kept quiet and didn't look at each other.
"This is going to be a class 4 mission so there is going to be a leader that leads the team and I think they would lead the team well seeing as they are a great pilot." said the General.
Devon smirked as he walked forward ready to command his team
"Number 7 John Grim you are the leader for this mission." said the General.
Devon smirked shattered as he was standing there dumbfounded. Thorin stood there covering her mouth so that her laughter couldn't be heard, even Levy let a small giggle out.
"How can he be the leader? I'm royalty! I will not be ordered around by some commoner!" He shouted furiously while pointing to John.
"Look dipshit, outside the dome the behemoths and creatures don't give a rats ass if you are a royal or commoner you are just another meal to them." said the General.
"I will not stand for this nonsense...I'm the best pilot out of all 4 of us! Make me the leader, I demand it!" roared Devon
"Oi can you shut up already, So'leer maybe the main manufacturer of Chasser's but in here you're just a pilot besides if you were as good as you say you are the general would have made you the leader!" said Thorin.
"At least I'm not some commoner that was made just to pilot a Chasser I'm pure talent that was passed down to me through my genes and to top it off I didn't need a single hour of training." bragged Devon.
John just looked from the window he was staring out of as he slowly looked at Devon with a bored expression
"I'm sorry did you say something? I didn't hear anything over a brats rant." spoke John out dully.
Both Thorin and Levy tries to hold their laughter. Devon was furious how dare this...this TRASH talk to him like that!
"That's it! I challenge you to a mock duel! The winner gets the position of leader for the team!" shouted Devon.
"Why not if it will shut you the hell up." said John a small grin on his face.
