1 Chapter 1 - Waking up

After dealing with that horrible god and sitting in this blank space for a good couple of hours I started to feel as if I was starting to wake up.

I pushed myself into a sitting position and started to look around, memories start to assault my brain from out of nowhere. I was Ranger Candidate 8720, Johnathan Blue. I am currently in the hospital ward, When my former host was going through his final examination to enter the Ranger rankings.

There was an alert for a Category 2 Kaiju, which should've been an easy fight for somebody who was about to pass their training, What we found out later was it was a Category 4 not 2. I was lucky to make it out of there.

After recollecting the memories, I decide not to wait around and discharged myself from the Medical Ward. I went back to my bunk room, and got changed into gym clothes and went towards the gym to get a feel for my new body.

The workout was relatively easy, compared to my memories, I had been given some shocked eyes as people saw me up and moving around. After my workout and exercise until my body couldn't handle it anymore, I walked back to my bunk with jelly legs. As I turned the corner to my room, I saw Marshal Pentacos standing outside my room looking as if he was waiting for the door to open.

"Sorry Sir!, I have been at the gym and have only just gotten back." I say as I salute towards him.

He grins and salutes back, "Okay enough of that, open this door we have things to talk about." He replies and waits.

I walk past him and preceded to enter my pin and open the door, I stand to the side and let the Marshal enter the room, with the female that was standing at his side.

He sat down at the table and pulled out a tablet and passed it to me. "From what you showed us during the examination, We believe you would be able to fit into the special forces division. Just read over these documents." He said as he got up and started to make himself a cup of coffee.

I looked down at the documents, they pretty much stated 'new regulations','Uniform code' pretty much everything was different to the regular division. However the only thing that caught my eye was the document stated that you must have a partner and that they were willing to join aswell.

"Hey man, it's all good and all but I don't know if you have noticed. I just lost my partner and there is no way in hell anybody would want to mind drift with me and feel the stress that my brain did when I solo piloted back by myself." I snap guessing that the memories were still sore that I lost my partner.

"Marshal, don't hold it against him you remember how I was." The women finally decided to speak up.

"Why are you here anyways Ranger?" I ask confused.

"I am Ranger Brown, a year and a half ago my partner and me got called to Sydney. There was a category 3, shortly after defeat it and category 4 turned up out of nowhere and ran its tails straight through the cockpit and through my partner. I proceeded to solo pilot to the nearest base which you did. That was my first and final mission for the past couple of years at-least. Nobody wanted to partner up with me and they won't with you either so you join me or we will both be stuck to a different occupation." She says looking straight at me in the eye.

"How old are you?" I ask. Not caring how rude it was to ask a women her age.

"20, and your 18 so the drift is compatible." She says.

I look towards the marshal and pick up the documents and sign them, "I will need a month with my partner and rehabilitation, before I join." I say handing the documents back.

"Welcome to the PPDSF, Now if you would like to pack yours bags quickly and follow Ranger brown to your new Lodgings. Congratulations Ranger Blue!" He says as he holds his hand out for me to shake.

I shake his hand and then precede to pack my bags quickly leaving all the belongings expect my clothes and a picture of me and my ex partner.
