[PSSO Citadel 2, Xzaivier's room, 7:32 o'clock]
Yagumi bursts through Xzaivier's door, Bellatrix by his side, flipping her short, midnight blue hair, her skin practically glowing in the light, while wearing her sword saint uniform but with no haori as well as the Citadel Auxiliary mandatory armband (a white armband with a bronze mini shield on the side of it, the bronze mini shield has a katana engraved on it. It's mandatory for Citadel Auxiliaries to wear this armband). Yagumi notices Xzaivier's meditative state and smirks at Bellatrix. Bellatrix smirks back, adjusting her glasses as the two simultaneously pull out megaphones. They tip toe their way to one side of Xzaivier each, readying their megaphones.
Yagumi:(hand gesturing) 3... 2... 1...
The two shout into Xzaivier's ears through the megaphones...
Yagumi and Bellatrix: RISE AND SHINE YOU DONKEY!!! WE'VE GOTTA GO SAVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!!!
Xzaivier jerks back, holding his ringing ears.
Xzaivier: I'm starting to think that irritating me's some type of hobby for you two. Like seriously, can I not just meditate in peace? And she's not my girlfriend!
Bellatrix: Sureeeeeee...
Xzaivier: I'm serious!
Yagumi: We believe you.
The two put away their megaphones.
Bellatrix: Get dressed and be on time for breakfast, which is in 2 minutes.
Yagumi: Oh and there's a briefing after dinner in the auditorium. DON'T BE LATE!
Bellatrix: Yeah what he said!
Xzaivier: Whatever.
Yagumi: Support characters am i right...
Bellatrix: Pathetic if you ask me... anyway there's something I need you to see.
Bellatrix yanks Yagumi's wrist making him follow her.
Yagumi blushes.
Yagumi: (in his mind) Wow... s-such soft hands...
Xzaivier watches them run off.
Xzaivier: Good riddance!
Xzaivier puts on his Shitagi, Haori and Jika Tabi boots before tying his hair and grabbing his sheathed flame blade from the katana stand and placing it on his left hip. Xzaivier Fixes his bed before grabbing his room's key card, sword saint licence and placing both in his empty wallet. He puts the wallet in his Shitagi before locking his room and heading down for breakfast where everyone's shouting war chants which Yagumi and Bellatrix are leading (while standing atop a table). Xzaivier's tempted to kick both of them in the face but decides not to. He decides to grab a plate before getting in the breakfast line. Xzaivier grabs banana bread and has to bear with the noise while eating.
[PSSO CITADEL 2, 8:01 o'clock]
Every sword saint that was chosen for deployment heads to auditorium before taking their seats, awaiting Sensei Gara. Yagumi notices Xzaivier's serious gaze at the stage. He's tempted to lighten the atmosphere with a joke but decides not to, knowing how concerned about Amai Xzaivier is and how serious about this mission Xzaivier is.
[PSSO Citadel 2, Citadel Auditorium, 8: 27 o'clock]
The auditorium's floodlights focus themselves on the stage as Sensei Gara walks in, followed by Bellatrix. Everyone quiets down and turns their attention towards the two.
Sensei Gara: Bella, please do the honors.
Bellatrix: Of course captain.
Bellatrix raises her right arm as the kanji for map appears on her palm. she points the kanji at the projection screen behind. After a few seconds the map of the Hollowlands appears on the projection screen.
Sensei Gara: Alright good morning lady sword saints and male sword saints of Citadel 2. Welcome to this morning's briefing. I apologize dearly for the wait but I was on a call with the Emperor of the nation of Sol. We were discussing tactics.
Sensei Gara sighs.
Sensei Gara: Unfortunately we weren't able to come up with something smart enough to surprise Gimori, so I decided to make things easy for everyone...
Sensei Gara smirks.
Sensei Gara smirks: You all (the deployments are only from the nation of sol, the other nations are not involved in the battle against Gimori) are going to use catapults to break the Hollowland's 120 meter tall wall before throwing your lives away...
Everyone's faces turn Grim except Xzaivier's who just looks serious and determined.
Sensei Gara: You are going to charge blindly into the Cultists before breaking down the Hollowland's 120m wall. Whatever you decide to do from then on is on you as long as you're either cutting down Gimori's forces or getting cut down by them.
Xzaivier: (in his mind) I don't care if I die, as long as Amai and my mother are saved!
Sensei Gara pulls out a laser pointer.
Sensei Gara: I think the message's been received by everyone.
Sensei Gara points his laser at demon tower number 3.
Sensei Gara: That's where Amai and every other captive is according to the spys we sent. You all should get there quickly, apparently she's getting sacrificed in 3 days.
Xzaivier clenches his jaw and stands up from his seat.
Xzaivier: If that's the case, what exactly are we waiting for captain?! We should get going before that sick freak decides to shorten her time alive!
Bellatrix: Sit the hell down F rank! The captain isn't done with the briefing!
Sensei Gara: No Bella, he's right. You all should get going to your impending doom.
Sensei Gara places a finger in his hair before twirling it around with his finger.
Sensei Gara: Even if you do get through the Hollowland's border garrisons, and somehow rescue the captives, Gimori will just come after you himself before killing all of the captives that your going to work so hard to rescue. Hell, he might even slaughter you for the sheer audacity to interupt his feast. So unless you want Amai and all of the other Sacrifices to swing, I suggest you sit your ass down and listen to what I have to say.
Xzaivier scowls before throwing himself back into his seat.
Sensei Gara: Thank you for your cooperation. Now back to what I was saying... the captives will be sacrificed in three days. Cultists will be every where, there will be no breaks, there will be constant battle and constant death, only those with unshakable wills are going to make it back in one piece. There are not only cultists everywhere including demon tower no. 3 but also rogue swordsmen, all wielding legendary blades and Darkclaw that will tear you up and either eat you alive or turn you into one of them. I also advise you to stay out of the eyesight of Zephyr Windfang. He's got three TOP 11 legendary blades and he's ruthless. you all understand?
Every one: Yes captain.
Sensei Gara: You're horses are in the stables, saddle up, feed your horses and wait for Bellatrix's order to ride out. Thank you for your time.
Sensei Gara: Oh and if ANY of you desert the battle field...
Sensei Gara's eye darkens.
Sensei Gara: I will find you and PERSONALLY deal with you.
Everyone's faces are stricken by immense fear.
Sensei Gara: Bella...
Bellatrix: Yes Captain.
Sensei Gara and Bellatrix walk off stage, all of the deployments walk out of the auditorium.
