Construct: Reverse Eclipse

Chapter 2

"Yeah, they are gonna give us uniforms soon..." I pause, "I believe they will be based off of our team colors, our Constructs will be repainted to."

"Do you know our color?" Zero asks.

"I hope we don't stick with red...we'll be seeing too much of that color soon.

"Don't worry, I know we won't because the painters are in this hanger!" I say.

"I think they give us a Silver color," Vey guesses.

"Why do you say that?" Zero asks.

"Because it was the primary color of Venice's Construct," Vey and I respond at the same time.

"They are looking for another Venice to replace the last one," Vey sighs, acting differently than usual, "I think they hope it will be one of us."

"One of Venice's relatives rising up to take his place, it would be great for propaganda," Kaname agrees.

"Unit Spade!" An officer walks up to us. We Salute, "Umm is this a joke? You all out rank me!"

"That's news to us, we just got here from graduating at Silver Spire academy for Cadets," I respond.

"Ahh, so they haven't told you yet," He motions for us to come over, "The Military is placing you guys really high! Your scores were so high that the top brass decide that they would make you a spec. Ops. team!"

"We're a what?" Zero asks dumbfounded.

"You're a team for high ranking missions and special support...you are a tactical strike team, essentially, anyway," He responds.

"Well then...i'm assuming we'll hear all about it later!" I respond, "Oh what's your name?" I ask the Lt, 1st class, on his way out.

"Oh, I thought you remembered me, im Gemini! From your dad's old wing!" I stare blankly at the man as he walks out. Then another officer walks in, escorted by 2 more officers.

He Salutes us briefly then starts talking in a monotone voice, "Hello! You are the top five from Silver Spire?"

"Correct, Sir!" I Respond accordingly seeing the five stars on his uniform. A General of the Army? That is the top brass! What's he doing here? I Don't know whether or not my shock showed upon seeing him.

"Ah your smart, all the cadets so far addressed me like a normal officer!" The General laughs, "I'm a General of the army, My name's Grayson! And instead of looking at me as your superior officer, i'd like you to see me as a friend! After we'll be working together a lot after today."

"Does this have anything to do with what Lieutenant Gemini told us?" Vey asks.

"Oh, it depends on what he told you! Wait you must be the genius kid! Nice to meet you," His eyes come over to me, "Your stance says you've fought before, you must be Karl," He looks over to the twins, "Zero, and Kaname," Then looks at Yukka, "And you're Yukka!" after he names all of us he looks proud of himself.

"Yeah, you got it right," I look at him with a certain degree of respect. He even got the twins named correctly...I have no clue how he did it!

"So what did you mean? What did Gemini tell you?" He asks.

"He told us that we would be your special operations team, but why us?" I ask.

"High scores, you work well together, You ran over 700 team simulations alone! Hell you have a 12 year old who got into the senior class, and became the top melee construct that school had ever seen!! If you guys aren't star pupils, I don't know who is!" He responds. He hands us our uniforms, they each have our names on them, and my rank is, Holy hell! I'm a Colonel? That's the highest field officer rank!
