In one of the many resting rooms of the facility, a duo resided within, both full of excitement and anxiety. The light thud of flesh on fabric echoed through the spartan-like room, clenched fists striking a punching bag suspended in the middle of the room rapidly, said object showing signs of constant wear from repeated routines such as this. A duo of light bulbs lit the entire room, bathing over a single, king-sized bed, the personal terminal that came with every room, a cabinet, an oak table with two chairs, the aforementioned punching bag, a picture, and the two beings that existed inside. The one object of note, the framed photo, was of a beautiful landscape, full of nature's bounty and the clear blue sky. The picture was propped on top of the table, facing towards the two entities inside as if watching over their actions.
Sweat dripped from beneath an expanse of auburn hair, dark emerald eyes blazing with intent as their owner struck her opponent with a powerful haymaker, causing the chain that held the bag aloft creak with strain as the training apparatus swung farther than a normal human was meant to cause it to, nearly parallel to the ground. With a quiet exhale, Ai finished her physical maintenance, stopping the swing of the bag with one hand as she catches a small towel and water bottle with the other, thrown towards her by none other than her sister: Yuu. Said blonde was positively beaming, clapping her hands together with a genuine smile as her sister cooled down from the workout, Little Red wiping any excess sweat as she subtly shifted with embarrassed pride, taking a large gulp of the water handed to her.
It had only been twenty minutes since the call for a meeting within the Auditorium, and yet the Gemini Siblings have been unable to settle after the announcement. Despite Ai's usual apathy for most events, the excitement that coalesced their connected psyche was not entirely Yuu's. This would be their first mission outside of the compound, their first experience with the real experiences of being Godslayers. It would be the first time either of them had seen the outside world in over a decade.
For the first time, they would finally meet their fellow Godslayers.
Naturally, Ai wasn't as gung-ho as her sister might be when it came to the latter of the experiences, "making friends" as Yuu liked to call it, but the prospect of truly fighting for what she was made for filled her with anticipation, and the determination not to fail. Glancing at her sister, the auburn haired girl visibly tensed as she thought of what might happen out in the field. Even after all the training, the blood, sweat, and broken bodies that led up to this moment, she still felt uncomfortable with her sister taking up the shield. In all honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that Yuu was essential to her fighting-style and powers in general, she wouldn't want to bring the platinum-blonde onto the battlefield at all.
As if reading her thoughts, which actually wasn't as far fetched as one might think, Yuu merely gave her sister a
look, steeling her gentle smile into a stubborn frown. The slight wave-like motion of her hand notifying the emerald-eyed teen of her sister's distress. At once, she understood. Even if there was be no meaning to her presence, which there was, her sister would stand by her side to the end despite everything that could happen. She would not abandon the one true friend she's had her entire life. Softening her own gaze, Ai gave her sister an indistinct nod, the small action somehow perking up the blue-eyed teen and causing her to glow with happiness. There wouldn't be any more hesitation. Suddenly feeling reinvigorated, she handed back both bottle and towel, raising her fists to resume her exercise. And, after a moment of silence, Yuu stood up as well, changing from her dress to a more appropriate black shirt and breeches, coming to stand along side her sister as they engaged their static foe. There would be no sleep for them for a long while, energized by their trust in one another and anticipation for what came ahead...
...Only to sleep in and nearly miss the meeting. Stumbling in at six nearing the next minute, the two sisters hurried into the room with uncombed hair and hastily worn clothes, both donning their usual mantles of red and blue as they took a seat in an offhand corner. Usually, Yuu would have loved to interact with her fellow Godslayers, but her current state of wear wasn't the kind of impression she wanted to leave upon them. Ai was honestly glad to stay away from them. They may be allies, but she knew nothing of them. Only time would tell if they were truly "friend" or "foe".
