SHIN SEKAI: SPARK OF THE NEW WORLD

Tame the divine

   Albus walked through the halls of his lab in a frenzy. His rage was visible and could be felt from miles away.

   "What's the status on the pathfinder" he asked as someone handed him a file.

   "So it's still the same" he said as he looked into the file

   "YOU INCOMPETENT BASTARDS!!!" He yelled, throwing away the file and walking into one of the rooms.

   It was an old room full of books and the person that Albus came to see had his back turned.

   "Our legion was defeated" the man said

   "Our subjects were taken"

   "Our most powerful prophet met his match"

   "And not a single one of our enemies was harmed"

   "The council is not happy"

   "These rebels have created a nation and soon they will coming for ours"

    "So do we strike back immediately?" Albus asked and the man replied

    "No"

    "This is not the time to use crude methods"

    "We already have a plan they won't see coming, so don't worry yourself, General Albus" the man said and Albus replied

    "Yes, councillor Nicholas"

   Meanwhile back at the fortress, Mina and the others were getting ready to carry out Susan's plan. They had their gears ready and they were all full of energy and ready to go.

   According to Susan's information, a large number of magical beasts dwelt behind the fortress. These beasts were reason why the fortress was built in the first place. 

   And according to Mina's information, the order suppressed the possibility of any of the beasts being tamed. 

   The order was unable to bring any beast to their side even though some were friendly to the common people, so they killed anyone that had a friendly encounter with a beast and made it seem like the beasts did it. 

   It was more of a quest than a hunt since it it was stated that one could only tame a beast that accepted him. But even with all the information at hand, Yen still had a bad feeling.

   "We should make sure everyone is at full strength before we move" he said

   "I get the feeling that some beasts might just want to kill you"

   "These things are here because the divine presence that kept them out the physical realm vanished"

   "So you should be careful out there"

   Yen's words were always sincere so everyone listened to him and double checked before setting out to leave.

   As they opened the back gates of the fortress, what they saw was a beautiful enchanted forest.

   "Who knew there was a place like this?" Yamato wondered.

   It was peaceful and serene, even the sky looked different. There was no magical beast in sight, only wild animals.... Or so they thought.

   Mina got entranced by the cuteness of a chubby white Bunny with a fluffy tail and didn't waste time diving at it 

   "Oh, he's so chubby and cute" she said as she held it close to her face. The big bunny... didn't like that for some reason, so he went all pikachu on her. 

   At this moment, they realized that every single creature they were looking at was a magical beast. And Mina realized that no amount of shock can stop you from loving a cute animal even it shocked you until you look like Ash. Luckily for her, Yen got quite friendly with the bunny and made pact with it, so she could hug it all she wanted without the worry of being shocked.

  As for Rosewell, things went quite smoothly. All he did was to walk a bit further and the birds all flocked to him. 

   "At this rate, one could call him a chick magnet" Mina said mockingly.

   Others managed to get a beast that suited them. Yamato got a tiger, fubuki got a bear and a penguin. Kojiro got a turtle, and inumaki got a lion.

   Lee got an eagle but Susan wasn't compatible with any of the animals.

   As they went further, what was before them was not so good. It was a plane that looked dark even under the light of the sun. The beasts that dwelt there looked like the very embodiment of rage and hunger. A single stare from one of them carried more killing intent an angry villain, and anyone that saw the way the way they drooled could already feel their flesh get bitten off.

   "And I just remembered the part when someone said this things were immortal"
