User blog:Baluar/Arc 3, Chaapter... 3?

I wake up in the medical bay of Cradle’s Mobile Fortress. I feel weird, but it’s good, like… I don’t know, it’s hard to explain. For some reason, I raise my hand to look to my armlet, and although it looks the same, somehow I know it’s different. A doctor alongside me says:

-She has woken up. Inform Baluar. He’ll be glad to know she made it. – Seems like I just went through an operation. I feel so sleepy…

I wake up. I feel a large hand delicately touching my head, so that I react. I recognize it easily.

-Baluar-san! What happened? – Hands that large aren’t common.

-Your armlet was broken, Lili. You were about to transform into an Aragami, and P53 Bias Factor injections did nothing to you. So, with my usual delicacy, I “persuaded” the doctors into trying to permanently change you to work with P66 Factor. It seems it worked perfectly. A doctor just left, but he previously informed me that you’re good to go now. You can sleep in our bedroom today…

-“Our” bedroom?

-Oh, right, you weren’t there when I gave my speech… Everyone will have to share their bedrooms with at least 3 other persons. You (sorry, we) have to share it with Nia and Alisa. It’s cozy, but…

-Why did you do this? Why did you save me, Baluar-san? – I interrupt him.

Lili, let me explain something to you. What would you do if one of your friends was about to die? Would you save him? Or would you let him die?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-I’d save him. – I answer.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-See? Why would I let you die, when it was in my power at least to try to give you another chance? Although, if you don’t wake up, I won’t save you any of Kanon’s cookies. You’d better dress up fast, or you won’t have any of them by the time you get home! – He says teasingly, and then goes away really fast. I wake up as fast as I can, dress up a bit (my clothes are right next to the bed), and go to our room (he conveniently left me indications on how to get there).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">He wasn’t exaggerating. By the time I arrive, there is only one cookie left. There is no one else in the room, and next to said cookie is a letter that reads “Hey there, Sleepy! It was really hard to leave this behind, but I hope you enjoy it! You-know-who”. It was really tasty.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">After eating, I have to ask myself: “What am I supposed to do now?” Seems like everyone’s out on a mission, but I don’t know where I am. I only got to our room out of sheer luck. I wander around for a while, until I meet Director Sakaki. He began to speak:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-Oh, Lili, I was hoping for your arrival.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-Why, Doctor? What’s the matter?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-It seems that Rachel is bent on wiping us from the planet. If so, we will need every last God Eater’s effort to make her think otherwise.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-Ok… so what can I do?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">-Oh, sorry, I just got carried away. Baluar, Robb and Nia are fighting Rachel’s “troops” not far from here, and they’re having troubles. I thought you could…

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-bidi-font-size:20.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; mso-ansi-language:EN-US">Before he could finish speaking, I was already leaving the fortress to fight against the Aragami.
