"Out Of Hand.."
July 31, 2018
Seiko Sekininsha, born onto the middle class Sekininsha family as an only child. Homeschooled to be an Ace Student. One day, as she was walking down the street, full of people. As she fell deeper and deeper into the crowd. She heard the phrase.
A sharp pain rose through her wrist. She found herself twitching and shivering on the ground. And then her consciousness left.
A Mojidori was rampaging. One where weapons around its back firing at the ground. She watched as she was uncontrollably destroying the city. "No.. Stop.. Stop it.. STOP!!"
She was now on the ground. All she had seen was ruin. And a boy was in front of him. Aichi Shirogane had eliminated her in Mojidori form and she reverted. Aichi had not noticed of Seiko but Seiko had noticed Aichi and now recognizes him as the boy that saved her.
She glanced at her wrist which had a glowing cross symbol. Seiko Sekininsha Had become a Gendaishi.
But her family wasn't really welcome to have a bioweapon in the same roof.
Her parents left her in that house.
Alone.
For 9 months.
She secluded herself from society so much that she missed an entire school year.
She developed a strong exterior towards other people. But inside she was helpless.
And then a knock came to her door.
"Hello, is this the Sekininsha residence?"
"Uh, yes?"
"I'm Kokoshi Arisaka. I'm from Tokyo but I came here for personal reasons. I'm studying in a school nearby so I was thinking of-"
Without a thought, Seiko bowed. "I'm grateful to have you here."
Soon Kokoshi learned of what happened to her and enrolled her to Kagushiro.
On the first day of school she saw the boy that saved her. With the same cross-symbol.

"Another one! Another Mojidori appeared."
"There's another over there."
"This is my first time experiencing 3..4..5..6..7 Mojidori.."
"It's 8!"
They were popping up like the engines of a car pumping gasoline through the machine. Spawning uncontrollably.
People were panicking. "Everyone calm down. We're Gendaishi! It's gonna be fine!" Seiko worked to mitigate pressure.
"Hey Aichi, what do we do?" Raigi asked.
"What?" Aichi asked.
"You need to make a decision, what do we do?!"
"..."
"Aichi!"
"..leave it.."
"What!?"
Aichi spoke very softly. Making sure the passengers of the train couldn't hear.
"..let's leave it.. We can't fight that many. And it looks like they're increasing steadily."
Seiko whispered, "..the city will fall unto ruin!"
"..I know.. but there's nothing we can do.."
"..yes there is.."
"No..there isn't.."
"You're selfish, Aikun.."
"if you want a different decision, you make one.. the order by the organization to make me leader was just to make our team less effective by electing an incompetent one.. so that they could easily take us down, one by one.."
"fine.. I'll take care of the Mojidori.."
"S-Seiko.."
"shut up.. you're gonna get out of Seijo directly to safety.. I'll stay here to take care of these monsters.."
"Seiko!" He raised his voice, "We're not under the organization, anymore! We're traitors! We have no more responsibilities as Gendaishi!"
"I'm not doing this as a Gendaishi.." , she gulped. "Aichi, head to Tokyo and find the truth about the phenomenon. Until then, I'll wait for you to come back here." She dashed out the window of the moving train.

"We are now in Yamagata station. Our next stop will be to Kaminoyama. All passengers for Yamagata may now exit the train."
"Is everyone here?" Aichi did a roll call.
"I'm here. Kokoshi, too." Raigi raised his hand.
"She's getting silent."
"Yeah.. This is all too much for her.. And I can't even fight anymore. Sorry, Aichi. We'll have to rely on you."
Aichi sighed. "I should've been the one to stay in Seijo. But my fear got the best of me.."
"Hey, cheer up. She'll probably survive it. She's the strongest out of the 3 of us, right?"
"That's the thing."
"What?"
"The organization has a connection with the phenomenon, correct?"
"I think so.. I think Lieutenant General Jinosuke has control over the Metaform Effect.."
"Knowing them, they probably made those attacks to either make all of us stay at Seijo or make our strongest stay at Seijo,"
"Wait.. That means.."
"Yeah.. They're gonna trap Seiko and Seijo and probably kill her while she's busy with the Mojidori.."
"What do we do?"
"Simple."
"Aichi?"
"We head to Tokyo.... and assassinate Dabu Jinosuke."
"What?"
"Assassinate the leader of the Gendaishi organization?"
It was the Gendaishi hunter from earlier.
"You.."
"You're being hunted by the organization? Let me join you.."
"Huh?"
"My goals are beyond your understanding.."
"Can we trust you?"
"My name is Mizu Senshoku. My hometown is Yamagata. If you want, I can help you stay here."
"You're too pushy.."
"That's what she said.."
"..."
"Sorry.."
"Let me rephrase that. You seem to really want to join us."
"Seichan was part of your group, right.."
"Ah-"
"I'm.. her cousin.."
