"Hello boys, are you ready to activate your gene?" Ate Ana asked the two in a joyful manner.
"Yes Ate Ana" the young man replied to her as he looked a bit restrained for fearing of evoking Yhel's displeasure again, he can still feel those chilly feeling earlier.
"Nm" Yhel nodded as his eyes remained tranquil.
Ate Ana was already used by Yhel's temperament, as she knew that this young man differs from other children here in the orphanage.
"Vergel, is there something wrong" Ate Ana can naturally see the fear in his eyes as he looked at Yhel earlier.
"Um nothing Ate Ana" he right away composed his self and replied with a smile
"Okay good, hop in, I'll send you to Sogod , it'll be just about 21 miles as we're going to fly over the mountain and we'll probably arrive there in 10 mins"
Yhel and Vergel boarded the shuttle with their Ate Ana and flew right after they have settled their selves in the shuttle.
"Weenggg. . . Wengggg wosshhh~~~
The shuttle started to float and detached from the ground as it flew over
"Boys listen, now that you two have already turned 16 years old, starting today and after your gene activation, you will be admitted to the alliance and start your training since you have already decided to become a Ranger, and by then you have to live on your own from now on, you already knew about this right?" as she told them this, her eyes turned misty for they have been together since when the two were just a baby in the orphanage and she's the one who stood as their mother and their only parent.
"Thuuuddd~~
"You two~~what are you~~" Ate Ana was caught in surprise.
The two knelt down in front of her as Vergel said "No matter what, you will be always our mother and we are forever grateful and thankful for everything you've done for us, please accept our sincerity!"
Yhel remained silent but in his heart he swore to become successful and provide the white cross orphanage everything they needs
"Okay stop it now, hurry stand up, you silly boys you dont have to do this, just live well in the alliance okay?" A streaking tears can be seen on her face as she hold it
" Yes Ate Ana!" They stood up and nodded.
" Good boys" as she stroked their heads.
"WE HAVE ARRIVED AT SOUTHERN LEYTE STATE ALLIANCE "
"WE HAVE ARRIVED AT SOUTHERN LEYTE STATE ALLIANCE "
"WE HAVE ARRIVED AT SOUTHERN LEYTE STATE ALLIANCE "
A mechanical voice rang out inside the shuttle as it opened the door.
"Good Morning Ate Ana" a steward welcomed and greeted them.
"Oh Sir George, Good Morning too" Ate Ana greeted him back with respect.
"Oh dear Ate Ana, don't tease me, how are you in the orphanage? Is this the two young boys who just turned 16 this year?" George looked at them with calm smile.
Yhel and Vergel's eyes sparkled upon seeing that man wearing a yellow long coat that is only exclusive for Rangers to wear and also the rumored indestructible triangle silver badge on his left chest that has two stars on it! Specialist!
After the child activated their genes, they can now embark the path of a Ranger and will be ranked as a Private and then after breaking through strength, he will become a Specialist.
"Yes we are!" The two replied in an snappy manner, but as usual Yhel replied indifferently but a determination borne in his eyes.
"Hahaha, Ate Ana look how excited must be this two brats on becoming a Ranger" George laughed, he had an easy going attitude and he also felt nostalgic and reminiscent for he was once an orphan and acted like this when he was about to activate his gene.
"We are fine in the orphanage thank you Sir George" Ate Ana still addressed him as such but felt proud inside.
George shook his head in defeat, Ranger's reputation really topped everything as they are the protectors of the humanity's safety
"That's good to hear" George nooded and smiled
"I will lead them now to the [Gene Hall ] for activation, thanks for your efforts Ate Ana" He respectfully sent off her as normal citizens wasn't allowed to enter the state alliance.
//Southern Leyte Alliance is the shelter for all survivors
//Southern Leyte State Alliance is the training ground for the Rangers inside the Southern Leyte Alliance
"Okay, you boys live well and get strong for the humanity" Ate Ana encouraged and aspired them before leaving without looking back.
"Then boys let's go, if you want to make Ate Ana happy and proud, do well and get strong in the future" George also encouraged them and boosted their confidence.

[Gene Hall]
"Since you two have already turned 16, you can now activate your gene to embark the path of a Ranger, you can also choose to become a normal citizen after your activation, so what do you want to choose?" George said
"I want to become a Ranger!" Vergel determiningly replied.
"I too" Yhel casually replied but his eyes shouted his determination too.
"Good, then, you see that cable cabin over there? Choose one of them and lay your body inside, so that we can now start your gene activation" George said.
"Nm" the two fearlessly laid their body on the cable cabin as they really looked forward on becoming a Ranger after they activated their genes.
"Activation Start!" George bellowed as he pushed the activation button .
"Weenggggg. . . .wenggggg
Suddenly a blinding red light color emanated on one of the cable cabins
"VERGEL CLIFF . . . REGISTERED. . . GENE : RED - FIRE ELEMENT!"
"VERGEL CLIFF . . . REGISTERED. . . GENE : RED - FIRE ELEMENT!"
"VERGEL CLIFF . . . REGISTERED. . . GENE : RED - FIRE ELEMENT!"
Right after the mechanical voice notification, a much more blinding white light emanated the whole Gene Hall, unluckily only George was there to activate their genes, but a phenomenon happened on the outside.
The world suddenly dimmed as if the sun have ran out its life and after a second it turned back to normal.
"Oh God what was that! Is there a terrifying flying beast coming?"
"Would another catastrophe fall upon us again?"
"Hopefully not"
-----------------
In a certain place, a robust man was sitting near at his window looking at this vast land of ruins as his expression turned distressed " I dont know what happened just now but I can feel that something have just decended but really I hope that it would help the humanity"
He sighed as he stood and closed his window.
-------------------------
George was naturally oblivious of what happened on the outside earlier
"YHEL CROWFORD . . . REGISTERED . . . GENE WHITE: UNKNOWN!"
"YHEL CROWFORD . . . REGISTERED . . . GENE WHITE: UNKNOWN!"
"YHEL CROWFORD . . . REGISTERED . . . GENE WHITE: UNKNOWN!"
