《Insignia》"The Tenyi" Ch 53. Oh, Romeo, The next mission begins.

Red walks to the street and starts to pass the shaking in fear, Luna.
Red: I’ll be seeing you around. Luna.
--- Chapter 53 ---
Luna walks home still shaking, eventually getting back and in bed, but no sleep occurs that night. Early the next morning, everyone wakes up and gets ready for their day. A Lot were called into the main hall for a debriefing. Luna is still terrified. She feels she need to tell someone but-
Listen, you're not going to tell anyone. Got it?
These words kept echoing in her mind over and over. Luna spots Red walking over to her.
Red: Hey Luna! How’s it going?
Luna: P-pretty good.
Red: What's wrong? Looks like you saw a ghost. But if this was about yesterday, I'm fine now, really haha.
Luna: R-right that's good to hear.
Master: Listen up! Today, the Recon team will be returning with info about the Tenyi, and higher up members-
Before he finishes the door bursts open. A man covered in bandages, head to toe, with a blackish gray trench coat, fedora and sunglasses over it walks in holding a briefcase. The bandages seem to have seals written all over them. Beside him is a team, equally as silent and mysterious. Everyone is looking in awe, as there not seen often. Suddenly from beside them outside, a young man slides in flamboyantly. He has fancy clothing, a white button up shirt tucked into jeans with a fancy belt. Blonde hair perfectly done with a sparkle in his eye and teeth as white as pearls.
Blonde: Mua is back!
Everyone's awe-struck expression instantly fades and goes back to what they're doing. Leaving an awkward silence. The blonde quickly gathers himself in a normal stance and coughs into his closed hand, and walks like nothing happened, obviously embarrassed. The man in bandages walks up toward the master silently. Randomly, seemingly out of character strikes a pose.

Bandage: YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MASTA!
This catches Luna off guard.
Bandage: Here, I got your info for yah.
They begin to talk for a while, but Luna looks over and catches eyes with the blonde kid. He smirks and slides over.
Blonde: Hmm, I don't think we’ve met before. Actually I know we haven't, because I would remember someone as beautiful as you.
Luna: Wah?
Luna says with both concern and surprise.
Blonde: From your delicate hair, to your beautiful face. Even your par-foom-
Randomly out of nowhere a loud bang is heard, and the blonde gets sent flying into a wall.
Blonde: eh.
He squeaks, hair singed as he slides down the wall, exhaling. Luna looks back to see Ame with her minigun. She turns the minigun back to a normal rectangle.
Ame: Whata creep. You ok?
Luna: Y-yah, but what just happened.
Ame: That's Romeo, we just call him Romi though. He’s a hopeless romantic who's way over his head.
Romeo starts to come back too.
Romeo: That's a bit harsh Amelia dear.
She turns her rectangle into a gun that rockets out a green ball at a fast speed. It hits Romi’s head and bounces off with a crack. He releases a squeak before falling unconscious. Hiro slides in with a bell in his hand, and a mini hammer in the other.
Ding, Ding, Ding!
Luna turns back around to the master, now setting up a debrief board.
Master: Now, according to the info we have collected. We have located high ranking Tenyi members.
The crowd starts to mutter. The master starts pinning pictures to the board. The first picture he pins is a man with scars on his face. He looks very muscley and in his 30s.
Master: This is Matsuburo Nordate. He regulars the bar just west of here. He's a powerful known criminal.

He puts a picture of an extravagant woman, looks about 18, and it's the girl Hiro was following two missions ago.
Hiro: It's her!
Master: Her name is Onakino Atsune. We don't know much about her, other than she is found in Termina often.
He puts a bunch of other photos, explaining who they are. He places the last one. A sleazy looking man with a cocky grin and a scruffy beard. Maybe in his 20s.
Master: Lastly this is Sleazy McGee. He’s seen running parcels through the woods up north. Now, I will split you into groups of four.
He starts listing off groups, pairing different members of the 9 with other guildmates.
Master: Mave, you will be grouped with Hiro, Luna, and Red.
Mave+Red: WHAT!
The master laughs to himself while Luna and Hiro awkwardly laugh.
Master: Red, which one do you wanna take.
Red walks up to the board, and starts to reach towards Matsuburo. But Luna notices his insignia glow for a split second. And he changes where his hand is going and grabs Onakino’s photo. Luna is put off by this.
Master: Ok, now Shiro. You will go with Ame, Ava, and… Romeo.
Shiro: … Yes sir.
Ame: What, the, HELL?!
Romeo: What's wrong my Amelia, isn't it exciting! We're on the same team! It's almost like we were DESTINED to be togethe-
His line is cut short by a spinning back fist to the face sending him flying. Hiro chimes in with the bell.
Ding, Ding, Ding!
Amelia goes and grabs Sleazy.
Master: Now the last team will consist of Akiza, Elias, Sole, and either Cari or Ryan.
Ryan+Cari: Wait what?!
Cari: I'm not really the fighting type ehe.
Ryan: I'm capable, but are you sure?
Master: We need all hands on deck.
Ryan: Fine I guess I’-
???+Bandages: I can join them, Master.
The master gets a fearful look on his face.
Master: You, both want to go with?
Bandages: I don't see a problem with teachin the youngsters how it's done.
???: Yah, I don't see what could go wrong.
Master: Alot. If you insist, I won't stop you. Their target is difficult. Just ah, be careful. Make sure there's no civilians around ok?
???: Of course, why would I do it in public anyway?
Master: Right, just making sure.
Master: What do you mean by me? I got nothing that bad.
A wave of “Oh boy” expressions circles around the guildhall.
Everyone begins leaving, but the master calls out to Hiro, Luna, and Red.
Master: I know this is sudden, but I am promoting you to B rank. Mostly so you don't get in trouble, but also because you deserve it.
Hiro and Red look at each other in awe and high five. Luna stands there shocked but gets a smile.
Master: Now, get going!
Everyone leaves together for their mission. But separates to go to there assigned location

The Dungeon Hive
One thing I noticed about most dungeon stories is that most races mistakenly believe that dungeons have a hive-mind and I go, “That make sense.” Considering the various powers and how big dungeons can get, wouldn’t it make more sense for them to have a hive-mind? So this is it; my take of the world’s first dungeon and the hive that controls it. Watch as it stumbles, fall, survive, strive and…procreate? Watch as it changed the world of Ioplon…for better and for worse. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For edited version of the story, the full trilogy (Book_1: Fantasy Begins, Book_2: Dungeon Flames, Book_3: Spread of the Dungeons) are now available on Amazon. Please take a look, and leave a rating. Thanks

Combat Origin is the first book in the World of Combat, young adult, dystopia series. If you like strong heroines, gamelit/litrpg and a good brawl, keep reading. Author note: I just discovered the Royal Road community and decided to jump in and participate. I posted Combat Origin, Book 1 during Nov and Dec of 2019 (before moving it to Amazon), followed by the short story prequel that gave backstory on two of the main characters. (non-Gamelit - because the gaming AI hasn't been found yet) Now, Book 5 has been finished and posted on Amazon, which allows me to leave a 10% sample here. The books are all free to read, If you have Kindle Unlimited. Please comment, ask questions, offer suggestions or just say hi. I'm hoping to connect with readers and improve my storytelling. -- Misty :) https://www.amazon.com/author/mistyzaugg https://mistyzaugg.com/
