The Osprey's engines roared above the forest. With the five sitting beside each other, with Kirashi being in the middle.
Each one of them then removed their masks and each one letting out sighs of relief.
"Say, Kira, what happened back there? At the tank?" Kirami asked immediately as she looked at him.
Kirashi then answered, "The violet haired girl popped in my head again."
"What happened this time?" Kirami, who's concerned asks him.
"I- he's like reaching out to me- she was, telling me something as she smiled. I dont know where we were or she was except it's full of chaos...and everything was... Burning around us." Kirashi in a confused state replied.
Ayro just sat silent amidst the conversation, choosing not to say a word.
"Oh! So Kirashi's basically experiencing the girl of his dream's dilemma again-?"
With Itoshi fading into the background...
Kirashi turned to Keito waiting for his turn to have a say.
"What!? Am I supposed to say something?" Keito asked pointing to himself with a completely innocent-look yet grinning.
"You have something to say I know it." Kirashi pressed cheekily.
"Alright, alright... Valentine's tomorrow."
"WAIT WHAT?!" Itoshi and Kirashi shouted in shock.
"Yes." Keito said seriously.
Ayro let out a disappointing sigh and facepalms.
"For the love of god..." Ayro whispered under his breathe.
Kirami's face was displeased yet began to laugh together with the four after a few seconds.
Ayro, witnessing this, couldn't help himself but let out a soft chuckle and smile as the group was laughing off.
The cargo bay was filled with joy and laughter of the youngsters.
'Kuya Kirashi, we have arrived HQ'
The pilot's speaker crackled through the speakers inside the bay.
"Oh, that was fast." Kirashi said.
Itoshi and Keito gave each other a look as they made a wide grin.
"That's what she said!" The two shouted in unison as they laugh out loud again.
"You both STOP IT NOW." Kirashi who before was laughing, shouted as the two continued to laugh out loud.
The Osprey landed its wheels at the heliped with several other osprey's landing to and hovering away from the helipads.
Jets and cargo planes were landing and launching at the runway.
[The Airport]
There were several hangars that stored planes and a large airport.
The bay ramp opened with a loud RUTTLE and the light outside started to shine through the gap.
Once the ramp landed on the ground with a CLANG, the squad walked out from the back.
What greeted them was a black SUV parked just through the fences on a concrete road.
The window beside the driver's seat then opened so that the driver inside the car can be seen.
With the Osprey's engine fading in the background, the driver can be heard just enough for the squad.
"Welcome back you five! Congratulations on your first ever squadron operation!" The man shouted with a formal celebratory tone.
Joth, had a clear brown skin (Moreno), wearing shades and had thick black eyebrow along with his faded haircut.
"Thanks for picking us up Joth!" Kirashi, who was infront of the group waved.
"So who's going to sit at the back?" Itoshi muttered to the group as they walked.
"Don't worry, the cars got two seats at the front!" Joth replied despite being far enough for normal people to hear.
"Oh? That's new!" Itoshi responded all hyped.
They then popped each of the doors open and went inside.
With three of them; Itoshi, Keito and Ayro in the passenger car, whilst the two; Kirashi and Kirami beside the driver seat.
"Yo this is siiiick Joth!" Itoshi, unable to contain his excitement said so.
"The last time I heard a car that had this type of seat was the Chevrolet Impala" Keito all-knowingly called out.
"Kirashi's Grandfather, General Kazeo Fuji, specifically requested this vehicle to be made for the five of you." Joth answered without anyone asking so, as if he knew they'd ask.
Ohhhhhh!
They all said in unison.
"Where are we heading to next?" Kirashi, on the window side of the car asked Joth.
"We're heading to the city for your introductory and acquaintance party of General Kazeo's." Joth replied with a stern voice.
He then starting driving the car making a u-turn first down the road through the streets of the base.
Buildings, plants, street lamps, soldiers, and other army vehicles passed by.
The base seemed rather to be more of a city, rather than a base of operations.
As their vehicle drove through the roads between buildings. They soon came close to the gate.
Guarded by armored vehicles and with armed PAPA units.
Their car stopped as one of the personal served as a blockage for their path with the checkpoint bar behind him.
Joth rolled down the windows and the checkpoint guard greeted everyone inside.
"Good afternoon kuya Kirashi and to everyone else." He stated with a light tone.
Everyone inside greeted him with a warm smile as he followed up another statement.
"Kuya Kirashi, General Kazeo asked us to escort you." The soldier said.
"Oh come on, I'll be fine Im with the rest, instead, you should stay here just to be ready when reinforcements are needed." Kirashi answered with a complaining and groaning tone.
"I see, General Kazeo just instructed us to ask if you ever need to, 'to let everyone know the PAPA is to be not looked down upon' he added." The soldier replied, adding more detail than needed to be said.
Kirashi let out another groan, seems like he's the type who dislikes any sort of eye catching attention.
"Just standby" As Kirashi said, he made a facepalm.
"Understood, that is all kuya Kirashi, take care." The soldier chuckled as he replied and saluted with his clenched fist on his chest, and his other arm in an oath sign.
"Thanks" Kirashi replied and the windows were rolled down by Joth, the bar gate was then raised and the soldiers around them saluted as their car drove past the checkpoint.
"Your dad really is something, displaying his army's power to everyone." Keito jokingly blurted out.
"He's just like that man." Kirashi replied in a bit of embarrassment and irritation.
"Anyhow, damn Keito you look like fresh meat in that suit." Kirashi loudly said giving a smirk to Keito.
"Thanks for the compliment pookie." Keito replied.
"Gay." Ayro coldy said.
"Oh~? Don't be shy Ayro." Itoshi playfully groped Ayro's chest making Ayro's body jump while in his seat.
"Oh YEAH?"
Itoshi's balls were squished hard.
"AH FUCK" Itoshi shouted in pain as he made the car shake while ut drove down the road in a forest.
"You all...." Kirami said in a low yet irritated tone as he gave them a stare, making everyone behave immediately.
"Thank you ma'am Kirami, I was afraid that before we even reach the acquaintance we'd have crashed already." Joth said in a glad tone.
Kirami let out a sigh.
