Arc 2 begins

Slouching on the train couch, drinking orange juice casually while playing a good old platformer, Gao was wondering what his future would be like. An endless cycle of fighting. A loss of emotions in the seeking of strength. Losing limbs for the sake of a friend. A nice relaxing house and only having to go on a mission and once a year? What do I really seek?

"Me? Thinking? Pff, must be something in the juice." Gao thought.

Sshwap. The doors of the magnet train open.

"We're here, in the continent of Force Shield, Block province,"Hirokoshi said.

The 8 stepped out from the train, and descended a flight of steps to the street.

After walking down the street for a good 20 mins, to find a tall building, with the name "Duality insurance company".

"Interesting. So the guild is located here." Roshi pondered."Decent cover, but the name kinda gives it away."(come on, don't insult the great creator, I try hard)

They walked to the spotless desk, and a receptionist sat, supposedly looking at the screen fixedly.

"Welcome to Dual flames insurance company. To get your double layered insura."

Hirokoshi swiped a card in front.

The eyes of the receptionist glinted. "Now how long has it been Quantum? Relentless as well.

Hirokoshi smirked, and walked to the door on the left, with the rest of the group following suite.

Sitting down in the next room the group still didn't speak a word.

"Are you guys mute now, lighten up!"

They still didn't speak a word.

"I think we've broken them with the training !"Hirokoshi and Kurenai guffawed.

Still nothing.

They sat in slience for a while, before Kurenai started to inform them off what their objective was here.

"Our Goal here is to first, make an alias name for all of you. Second, we will have a meeting with the top dog to understand your role here, and the third is to sign up for the mission."

"Understood sir."They said in unison.

"Gao, please enter."

Silently standing up silently,Gao moved towards the door.Yue put her thumb up.Gao smiled nervously.

Gao entered the room and sat down. A woman in casual clothing looked up to see him.

"So Gao, did you have any ideas on an alias for yourself."

Gao froze. The whole time in the lobby area, he had just be tense and worried, and hadn't thought of a single cool name.

"Time for a quick blitz," Gao thought. " Karma's wave, Sun fighter, abyss walker, Psy- burst…. Come on, something less edgy. Ahhhhhhh! Ok, here we go. Rebirth Dragoon. It has to have dragoon. Ok then, Genesis Dragoon."

"Genesis dragoon." Gao stuttered.

"Ok."

Beep bop boop technology stuff.

From a space in the table, a key card appeared.

"This is your Phantom id. Losing it will bring you unnecessary pain. So don't."

Gao shook on the spot. "Yes ma'am." He murmured.

The woman smiled. "No need to be so uptight there. Names Amy. Dya want a nice fizzy drink?"

"Ssure." Gao ssaid

Taking a sip of the fizzy drink, the tension Gao had been feeling immediately disappeared.

"Feel better now don't you.Everyone knew goes through it."

"What do you mean?"

"You see, the pressure of all the massive resonance expenditures around the building can make people who aren't as powerful feel a primal feeling of weakness and fear. However this drink counteracts the effects.Anywho, go through the back door just here, go to the 5th floor in the lift, and stay in the room there, till the rest of your people make it up."

"Got it."

A minute later

"My alias shall be Gravitas." Roshi stated

"Decent enough," Amy replied.

"Is there a weapon shop round here? If so, I'd like to know its location."

"Good initiative you got there, however, you will obtain those after the meeting."

"Nice." Roshi thought.

"You can meet me while the rest are on the 3rd floor under if you need anymore info on this place."

Roshi put his left thumb up and walked out the door

Soon after

"My alias will be…..Gust."

"Simple but strong.

"By the way, could you give me some info on the boss of this place. How strong is he, his influence etc."

"Sure. The Guy isn't the boss of this place for no reason, he's a high strength inferno, whose influence stretches across the four lesser planets. He isn't the originator of this place,. But he's the current boss."

"So if i were to fight him?...."

"Total annihilation. I'd give you 1/1000th of a second."

Yue immediately stood up, said thank you for the info, and went up the lift. A person on that level is who she would meet. Goodness Gracious, instant death if angering.

After a few moments, everyone had made it to the lounge.

The door opens, revealing?
