User blog:Baluar/God Eater: Fall of the Heavens, chapter 8: Dawn

Nanako Kawashima could be described in many ways. She was an optimistic woman. Some would go as far as to say she always saw the most the maxim, out of every possibility, but the truth wasn't quite as exaggerated. She had her foot firmly rooted in this world.

When the message arrived, she was fighing an Orochi. While the Aragami was a death sentence to most who would cross paths with him, to her it was nothing but another mission. A mission in which mistakes weren't an option, but Nanako wasn't quite the kind of woman who commited mistakes often.

She wasn't quite the kind of woman who comitted mistakes at all.

She knew the news were important. While the tone of the message was that she had assigned to a friend of hers, the messages were only used as a means of communication of urgent news. She turned to the Orochi, and fired a single bullet. Said bullet was one of her custom recipes, and she was really proud of having created it.

Some would have called it "a show of fireworks", but it would be more appropiate to call it "a rain of destruction". Even with its might, the Orochi flinched to the bullet, and any Aragami of lesser power would have had a hard time at surviving the attack.

After only a couple of those bullets had been shot, the Orochi lied in the ground, dead for good. Nanako wasn't quite an average God Eater. After devouring the beast's core, she picked up her phone. As she had suspected, it was bad news.

-An entire Branch to the edge of destruction. Fenrir trying to cover everything. It's even worse than I expected... - At the end, the text read: "Nanako, as you might have expected, I'm heading there tomorrow. Want to tag along?".

It was not befitting of a woman such as Nanako to turn down the offer, especially with so much lives in danger.
