Lady Midori: The Soul Chandra

Midori was one of the few who survived the Corite bombardment of the Bellato Medical Research Facility stationed in Ether. She was studying there as an intern to one of the most highly respected figures in medical research, Chief Researcher Deanneus. The loss of her beloved mentor broke her heart. Midori vowed to avenge the death of her mentor, and to continue the work that she has started.

Her wounds were treated aboard the Bellato rescue ship sent to Ether. She broke her left arm and had various burn wounds all over her body. Upon arrival at Bellato HQ, she was immediately sent to the hospital for further treatment. During her time at the hospital, she was visited by Deanne, a Sniper of the Bellato Federation 7th regiment, more importantly, the daughter of her mentor Deanneus. They became very good friends, bonded together by the terrible loss they both experienced. Midori made a fast recovery, and Deanne was there to accompany her on the day she was about to be discharged from the Medical facility.

As soon as they stepped out of the hospital Deanne asked Midori, "So Midori-chan, where do you wanna go now? I will be your guide today." Deanne flashed a smile and waited for Midori to give her response. Midori was staring blankly ahead of her as if in a trance. A few moments later, she turned to Deanne with a look of determination and conviction that caught Deanne off guard. "Take me to the Mystic Training Academy. I'm signing up to be a Soul Chandra."

Deanne being a soldier herself knew the trials and difficulties that all soldiers of the federation face every day. The war against Accretia and Cora showed no signs of slowing down. She didn't think Midori would be able to survive a day at the mines, she didn't think Midori had what it takes to be a soldier.

"D! Did you not hear me the first time? I want to be a Soul Chandra! Take me to the academy!"

There was a fire in Midori’s eyes that made it difficult for Deanne to say no. Deanne gathered herself,
"Ok ok. In that case, we'll stop by Eldon Carter first. C'mon let's go."

Eldon Carter is a very busy man. Currently he supervises the recruitment and training of the new soldiers of the Bellato Federation. He can be found giving out quests for the new soldiers of the federation, or giving promotions to those who have successfully graduated from the various training academies.

As Deanne and Midori arrived at Bellato Headquarters, they found Eldon Carter addressing a bunch of new recruits. He was briefing each one with regards to the class that they have initially chosen, and the various roles and jobs that they will be expected to take in the future. After giving them their respective weapons, he sent them off with their first quests as soldiers of the Bellato Federation.

“Sent them off to kill Flyms now didn’t you Commander Carter?” asked Deanne as she approached Eldon Carter and gave a salute.

Eldon Carter smiled as he turned to face Deanne and her companion, “Flyms provide no challenge at all for an experienced soldier like you Deanne, but it can be a daunting task for some of the new recruits.” Eyeing the girl that came with Deanne, Eldon Carter asked “So Deanne, have you brought me a new recruit?”

“That’s right commander. She is a good friend of mine, and was a survivor of the Ether bombardment tragedy. I came here to endorse her application as a future Soul Chandra of the Bellato Federation.”

“Soul Chandra eh? Not surprising considering who your mentor was. Very well! I will send word to the instructors at the Mystic Training Academy to make reservations for one more recruit.”

Right then, a loud voice brought the headquarters speakers to life. “Chip war starts in one hour! Our enemies are starting to assemble! Everyone proceed to BCC now!”

Deanne checked her watch, it was already 8 pm. Eldon Carter turned to look at Deanne and Midori, “Well then ladies, you two better gear up. War is upon us, whether you like it or not.”
