A Meeting

Somewhere on Earth, there's a large city, situated in the middle of the ocean. It is a massive city of technological wonders. Built by one person.

It is Green city. And in the center of this city stands a massive structure, it is called the Green Building.

This is the Green Family's main structure. It is the biggest landmark in Green city and is the main headquarters for Logan Green, Vicky Blade-Green, and their son Jake Green.

Walking around the Green building is a daunting task, if not a bit dangerous, due to the sheer size it. It is outfitted with extremely high tech security measures, innovative surveillance, made out of the strongest substance known to mankind, all powered by the highest Tier Beast Crystals.

Logan Green is a generous friend and ally and he has allowed any of his friends or colleagues to live inside the Green building, if they wish to. They are given their own room, which is actually more like an apartment, as it has all the living arrangements that an apartment would have.

Each "room" has a living room, dining area, kitchen, and separate master suite with a luxurious bathroom. It's no wonder that several of Logan's friends chose to live there, instead of somewhere else in the city.

There are a couple of people in particular that have chosen to live in this gargantuan, monstrosity of a building, other than the Green's of course. One because she is far from home, the other because he really has nowhere else to go and the accommodations are that of any high quality resort or hotel. There is no reason to live anywhere else when you have Logan Green as a friend.

Luckily for Logan's friends, they have been given maps and are familiar with the layout of the Green Building. They have information so that they don't get lost or wind up in a part of the building that is off limits or dangerous.

Most of the living quarters are situated in the center of the building, with the upper levels being the offices and the Green Family's living space. The lower levels are where the labs and testing facilities are situated, along with training rooms and forges.

There are spaces below the labs but no one is permitted to enter that area, aside from Logan and his family and a select few that have been granted access to the lowest levels.

The halls of the Green underground lab were dimly lit, the sound of the crystals powering the various machines and computers hummed softly.

Russ, lost in his thoughts, was walking aimlessly down a hallway, not paying much attention to where he was going, when a sound broke him out of his reverie. *Tap Tap* *Tap Tap Tap* 'Is that the sound of typing?' Russ thought to himself. He followed the sound, and as it grew closer, it also grew more frequent, louder … angrier? "AAAHHHH!! YONGBU BE DAMNED!" A loud voice screamed from behind the door a meter or so in front of Russ.

He stopped, readying himself, his hand wrapping around the handle of the black sword at his side. This particular sword was black in color and had a symbol of a dragon's head with a black shield and two crossed chains around the shield on the hilt.

He put a lot of faith in this sword and its power; it hadn't let him down yet. So he was confident that whatever was happening behind this door, he could handle it. As he approached the door, another loud scream could be heard. Russ quickly pressed the button, and the door slid open with a loud *WOOSH*. He rushed in, drawing his sword. As he rushed in, his foot kicked an empty Mountain Dew can that was on the floor, alerting the person in the room to his presence.

The chair spun around quickly to reveal a frazzled but beautiful, blue-haired girl. She had shiny blue scales on her face and fair skin with a tint of blue. It was none other than Ceril. She stared at Russ, her hair a little messy and her face a little flushed. "OH! Russ!" Ceril said with shock in her voice. "What…what are you doing here?".

"Me?" Russ asked, quickly hiding the sword behind his back. "I could ask you the same question!!".

As they stared at each other, Russ thought she looked kind of cute, sitting there, her hair frazzled, her cheeks flushed. "I thought someone was being attacked!" Russ hurriedly said, realizing he was staring far longer than he planned. Ceril, fixing her hair, replied, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't realize anyone was down here. Logan suggested I try playing video games to pass the time. I'm just not that good at them," she explained shyly, her face starting to heat up.

Russ regarded her for a second, then said, "Well, I'm glad you're beautiful… OK…Good….That is….I meant to be glad you're alright and that nothing is murdering you!" Russ said, fumbling his words. 'What is wrong with me?' Russ reprimanded himself. 'Do you like help with your games!" Russ stammered. "I mean that is, do you want help?", 'Stupid, stupid, stupid" Russ cried in his mind. Ceril giggled, "No, that's okay, but thank you for your concern." An awkward silence fell between them.

After a few moments, Russ spoke up, rubbing the back of his neck, "Yeah, sure, it's no problem," and turned and hurried out of the room. As Russ was practically running down the hall, he thought to himself, 'Good now I can go put my hand in a blender, you bumbling idiot,' but before he could turn the corner, Ceril's voice could be heard, "Russ! Russ, wait!" She called. "What are you doing right now?" Russ stopped and turned around. "I'm just, uh…not doing anything really," he said, his face heating up. "Then maybe you can escort me safely to my room?" Ceril said, shuffling her feet.

Russ, feeling a strange tingle in his…cheeks, said, "Um, yeah, yeah, I would have pleasure to…..I mean….yes I can". Russ wanted to die right there. He couldn't understand what was happening. Why did he feel so weird when looking at the Mervamp? It was a strange feeling, but he wanted to pursue it.
