The leader of the re-formed mobile division was looking at us with a serious expression, eyes glaring at the two of us. "Sky One, Sky Two," She called out code names out with a voice that I rarely ever heard. She was all business and even my partner got serious when she heard the expression. "I have a mission for you two."
Hayate stood from her desk and walked over to us. We were still only twelve years old but because of her shortness, Aunt Hayate was only a head lengths taller than us. "This is an important assignment, and I will tell you straight up: Sending you two is against my better judgment. The situation, however, has left me with no choice." A screen appeared next to her and she pointed to it. "An allied planet is in a state of a civil war with itself. A world war of sorts. The allied peace treaty on this planet has collapsed and they are rebelling against the peace they have with the T.S.A.B. They have many lost logia registered to them, and are using their power to fight the people who are rebelling against the uprising."
Syn nodded and I followed suit. "What is our goal?" My partner asked when there was a slight pause.
Hayate frowned. "They need mages to help them defend until we can send a more suitable force-"
The words struck a nerve deep within myself and my partner. At once we lost our serious attitudes and we both protested at the same time. "What do you mean 'more suitable force!?" I demanded the loudest. "Aunt Hayate, you know-"
"Silence, forwards!" She barked at us loudly, making each of us sink back. She had never yelled before and I could tell right then that she really didn't want to send us. "You will arrive to give a morale boost but you will not engage the enemy. They have many numbers and mages to spare. They have an army of rank Fs and Cs."
Syn snorted. "We're both AA+, we'll be fine."
I thought Hayate was going to slap Syn for a moment, but her hand didn't move. My friend still flinched, obviously catching the intention of the glare sent her way. "Need I remind you that several Bs together can fight an S-ranked mage for training and still force her to use full shields to defend herself? Ranks mean nothing against numbers. That is why you will not engage."
I saw a pause and took the chance to speak my mind. "Then why are we going if not to help fight?"
"As I said," she went on, now pointing to the screen that showed us what would be our base while there. "They are desperate and losing hope. Until our force comes back from their current mission, I can't send enough help to turn the tides of the battle. While you are there, you will give them the hope to keep fighting for a few days. I will dispatch everyone else as soon as they return. War isn't always about fighting, but also about mentality. You will not understand what your appearance will do for them until you see it for yourself."
"Ma'am." I nodded at her.
"You will leave at once. I have your preparations already complete so you won't need to take anything with you other than your devices. Here are your data packs." I accepted the screen that flew into Falling Soul and nodded. Aunt Hayate looked at both of us and before I knew it I had a hand on my shoulder and a scared aunt looking down at me. "Please be careful. You are going into a war field... You could die."
Syn answered before I could: "We'll be fine. Vivio and I kick ass."
~**~
I looked at my partner and grinned at her. We were on a space ship heading to our destination and I felt an urge to say what was on my mind while I had the chance. "Can you believe it? A mission that is going to require several top ranked aces and mages! And we're the first dispatch!"
Syn grinned and bumped her fist against mine, a trait we picked up from our mothers. "We'll show them, Vi. This will be our big debut." She brought up her hand and made a monitor appear in front of herself. "It says we're to meet with the leaders of the forward lines first and be given our assignments from him. Hayate already sent him our profiles and our barrier jackets have been programmed with their ally signals. We should be ready to go."
"Mmn." I nodded and looked at the planet we were approaching. My first deployment with Syn, my first real mission, and the first time we would be able to make due on our vows to do our mother's proud. We had large expectations of us and already we felt as if we were behind. When our mothers were twelve they were already triple A plus and well into the way of being given special treatment and being fought over by divisions. They were child prodigies and it showed.
Syn and I were several ranks below them, almost no real experience, and sheltered beyond belief. But that would change now. Hayate sent us to provide moral support, but we could do much more. We could show everyone that we wern't just little kids. "Syn," I spoke to her, taking my friend's hand in mine. "Let's make a dramatic entrance."
Syn grinned and clenched her fist in anticipation. "You got it, Vi!"
Yes there is a lot of plot XD but this will still be a romance/angst deep down :3\
EDIT: Yes, I nerfed Syn by a rank :P
