"You do realize you're risking completely compromising this project, don't you?"
The room was dimly lit. The only source of light was the glowing holoscreen in the middle of the room. On the holoscreen was the projected image of the head of Navy BLUE, the man known as 'Two.' He was the one who was speaking at the time. Only one person occupied the small room, his back turned away from the holoscreen.
"E.U. 003 is one of the best operatives I have. Why did you insist on his joining Dante's Abyss?" Two spoke, his projected image showing a frustrated look on his face.
THe man in the room did not speak. He wore what appeared to be all black clothing. A black cloth mask was tied at the back of his mask, not entirely hiding the man's jet black hair.
"With all due respect sir, I don't see what you're looking for. The last operatives you took were all killed in action. Combat Oriented Unit 019 and Alternative Source Unit 004 were two of my best and brightest, and I lost them to this exact same mission."
No response.
"003 isn't in Dante's Abyss to exterminate all of his opponents to advance BLUE's mission, is he?" Two surmised after a moment's pause.
"No."
The voice was deep and powerful. Even that single syllable seemed to shake the room, and Two, despite being miles away, seemed to jump in fear for a moment.
"May I ask..." Two began to ask, but was cut off by the man raising his hand.
"There is a reason. You must learn to trust me, Two. 003 may or may not survive this ordeal. That is not the point. But do not underestimate him... he is an E.U." the man spoke again, each syllable reverberating with power.
"I only worry he may be too inexperienced..." Two bit his lip, looking worried.
"Then this experience should remedy that for him, should it not?"
The man in the room chuckled.
"Do not worry so much, Two. Ruhiel is capable...
The man turned. A pair of blood red eyes shone through the darkness.
"...he reminds me of myself."
Ruhiel shook his white hair out of his face. He had still not encountered any opponents as of yet. However, he knew his time would be coming soon. He could barely hear sounds of battle in the distance. Would he be ready? This was his first ever encounter with other people with powers similar to his own. True, he had worked with other androids in his assassination missions, but he was better. Here, he did not feel like the best anymore. He was good, but he worried if he was good enough.
"No, I have a job to complete. Even if I am at a disadvantage, I cannot let that deter me." Ruhiel thought to himself.
He leaned against the wall of a partially destroyed structure. His blood red eyes looked skyward, as he prepared a plan for his coming actions.
