Evolution

Soma stopped on a rooftop and Lenka landed beside him.

"Before we get there, there's something I need to say," Soma said. "What you're about to see...you're not going to...understand it, right away. In fact, I don't actually fully understand it either. But I need you to promise you won't do anything rash. Alright?"

"What's going on?" Lenka asked.

"You'll see," Soma promised. "Just give me your word you won't do anything rash."

"I promise," Lenka sighed. "Now show me what's going on."

Soma nodded and turned, jumping to the street in front of Section A. Lenka landed beside him and froze for two reasons. First, there were bits and pieces of Camlann lying around, he counted three stingers but the Camlann were torn apart so violently that it was hard to tell. Second, is the fact that there was a girl sitting on one of the pieces. She was pale, nearly snow white, with hair just as white as her skin cut short. She was wearing a very short dress made from the tattered remains of a Fenrir flag, and her eyes were glowing red.

As soon as the girl saw Lenka, she jumped to her feet, a blade-like weapon growing out of her right hand, similar in size to the average God Arc. Then, she charged at Lenka.

"Aragami!" Lenka gasped, drawing his sword.

He stopped short as Soma lands in front of him, blocking his blade, the girl's stopping an inch from Soma's skin.

"What the hell are you doing!?" Lenka demanded.

"You gave me your word," Soma said.

"She was going to attack me!" Lenka snapped.

"And I'd have stopped her," Soma said. "You misunderstand the situation. Yes. She's an Aragami in human form. But so am I. My power doesn't come from my God Arc. I could do it with a twig, if I so desired."

"We've discussed this," Lenka growled. "You're not a monster, you're special."

"And so is she," Soma stated. "She saved my life, Lenka. When I was about to be killed by the Camlann, she appeared and killed them all to save me."

"She...okay, why show me this?" Lenka asked.

"Because it's proof that the Aragami are evolving. They're not all mindless beasts anymore."

Soma stepped back, putting his God Arc away and Lenka did the same, the girl's blade having shrunk back into her hand again.

"If she is willing to kill other Aragami to protect me, maybe there's a chance that other Aragami will evolve into something close to human as well," Soma said. "Something sentient. Something we can reason with. Coexist with."

"You think we could coexist with Aragami?" Lenka asked. "For all we know, she could mutate into a super powerful Aragami and slaughter everyone in ten seconds. Or maybe she really is on our side, but she might just be an anomaly, a type of birth defect with the Aragami."

"Maybe," Soma said. "But until she starts killing for no reason, we have no right to kill her. Because, anomaly or not, she's not hostile. At least, not entirely."

"Oh God," Lenka groaned. "You want to bring her home with us don't you?"

"Yes," Soma nodded. "And I want her to not be tested on, aside from blood tests, if she allows it."

"Alright," Lenka groaned. "Fine. I'll try."

Ten minutes later, Lenka was sitting in front of a computer with one of the scientists doing blood work on the girl, staring at the results of the blood test. The Oracle Cells in her blood were a lot closer to a human's cells than a normal Aragami's. They were still not quite there, and there was still a core cell, from what the scientists can tell, but she was definitely something new among the Aragami. She had also been cleared to work with 1st Unit, specifically Soma, since she seemed to have befriended him, until the higher ups could figure out exactly what to do with her.

"Well, I really don't know what to say," the scientist currently looking at the results sighed. "She's...I don't know. A mutation, probably. Unique. The hell did Soma find her?"

"She found him," Lenka said. "She supposedly saved his life."

"I see," the scientist nodded. "Keep an eye on her. I'm not entirely sure if I'd trust her to be harmless yet."

"Oh I plan to keep a very close eye on her," Lenka grumbled. "See what else you can find out. See if Dr. Sakaki can recreate the mutation in other samples."

"Yes Captain," the scientist nodded.

Lenka turned and left, deciding to check on Alisa next, since that's where the others would be anyway. When he stepped into the room, he found the others seated around Alisa's bed, leaving him a seat right beside her.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late," he greeted, and they all nodded, except Alisa who merely smiled tiredly.

"It's alright," Sakuya said. "She's going to be alright now. Thanks to you. If you had agreed to let Soma save her, she'd have died."

He nodded, sitting beside her and she smiled.

"How you feeling?" He smiled.

"Like a million bucks," she said. "Or maybe like a million bucks ran me over. I can't quite tell."

Lenka smiled, shaking his head before sighing and looking at Soma, who had been watching him.

"After the battle, Soma introduced me to a...very interesting friend," Lenka stated. "An Aragami that has the form of a human. Apparently she saved his life. She doesn't seem hostile to us at the moment, so she's going to be working with us for a while."

"An...Aragami?" Sakuya blinked. "Are you serious?"

"Yes," Lenka nodded. "Soma and I believe that she's proof the Aragami are becoming sentient, becoming something that is capable of more than simply slaughtering anything they find."

"It...she, might just be a way for Aragami to try and infiltrate Fenrir and take it down from inside."

"It's possible," Lenka nodded. "But...well...she just seems...I don't know, like a child. A very dangerous and deadly child, but still."

Sakuya looked unsure but nodded.

"Well, if it's already decided, I'll just have to accept it. But, I think we should test her loyalty first."

"I agree," Kota spoke up.

"I trust your judgement," Alisa croaked from the bed.

Lenka smiled and nodded then looked to the other two.

"We will definitely be testing her," Lenka said. "Honestly, I'm feeling like a sceptic on this one. Soma's the one that trusts her completely. But if he's right, this could be the beginning of something extremely important."

Sakuya nodded before standing.

"It's getting late and we have another mission tomorrow," Sakuya yawned. "I'll be heading to bed now."

Kota stretched and yawned as well, following her with a wave. Then, Soma left silently.

"Do you really think she's on our side?" Alisa asked once they were alone.

"She killed several Camlann alone to save him," Lenka stated. "And it sounded like it didn't take long. You should have seen the damage. I honestly don't know that we can afford to have her not be on our side. We'll lose Soma's support if we attack her. And if she strikes first, we'll lose people. Hopefully she's actually with us. But I doubt it. How are you. I mean really?"

"I'm alright," Alisa smiled. "I'm pretty banged up and they almost lost me once on the way back, but I'm alive thanks to you. And if you're worried about my mental condition, I'm good. I haven't had an episode since we killed Dyaus Pita."

Lenka nodded and smiled before sighing.

"I should get to bed too," Lenka sighed. "See you tomorrow Alisa."

"Alright," Alisa smiled, nodding. "Sleep well."

"You too," he smiled.

Then, he left the room and headed to bed for the night.
