Summary:

In every other universe Kafka’s pathetic, well.. maybe not this one. This time, he doesn't break his promise. (Well kind of..)

Or

Kafka if he got accepted in the defense force first try

Or

Kaiju no. 8 super fix-it

(Slow updates this is my first time actually writing)

Notes:

Please note, this is in alternate universe and that everything that's happening here isn't Canon and I just wanna imagine what it would be like if kafka was a Kaiju in his early adulthood!! Also my delusions are getting to me trust...

Atleast my broski is here to feed into my delusion...

Chapter 1: That's unexpected.

Knock knock.

“Coming!” The sound of rapid footsteps could be heard from the apartment, the door opened to a young man, slightly panting but had a giant grin on his face. “mail for Kafka Hibino?” the main man says, “oh yes that would be me! Thanks for the troubles byyee!!” Kafka snatches the letter and closes the door shut.

Feeling a little guilty for shutting the door so abruptly at the guy but the excitement just made him forget about that. “Minaaa! The letter came !! I think this is the one!” a figure emerge from the living room.

“The one? You mean for the defense force !?!” Mina stared in awe at the letter in Kafka's hands “yes yes!” Kafka rushes to sit down on the sofa with Mina sitting next to him.

Kafka paused in opening the letter to take a deep breath and quickly sends a prayer to the gods before continuing to open the letter with bated breath, when the letter was showed to its full glory and all kafka could focus on was the big “PASSED” at the end of the letter.

“OH FUCK YEAH!” Kafka yelled, letting himself do a victory dance as Mina cheered in the background. Kafka looked back and shook Mina as he chanted “I have been accepted!!” and Mina laughed at his antics.

“Calm down! Apka you still need to get past the second exam yk!” Kafka stopped shaking Mina to stare at her.

“nanaaaaaaa I'm scared !!! what if I don't get in???!” Kafka whined, “Now why are you scared??? I'm supposed to be the one getting reassured here!!” she pouted and crossed her arms.

“and plus.. I believe you can do it. After all,” she smiled at him “you’re kafka hibino! The bravest and coolest person I know!”

….

Kafka tears up, “awwwhhh nanaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!” He wrapped his arms around her and buried his head on her shoulder as he cried. “Those better be happy tears or I am not letting you damp my shirt!!” he sniffed, wiping his tears and snot on Mina's shirt with a smirk. “eww gross!!!” she yelled while giggling.

---

Kafka stood in front of the Tachikawa base “Alright okay I can do this.” he quickly sent a text to Mina saying he made it before pocketing his phone and heading inside the base.

….

Well fuck.

The training was brutal..

His muscles hurt like hell after all that ordeal, I mean seriously.. Who even thinks of this stuff??? This is straight up torture !! He's so glad Mina doesn't have to do these things yet..
His complaint was cut short when a voice spoke up in front of him.

"I am Kikuno Enkai, vice-captain of the 3rd division and welcome to the start of the second exam!" Standing in front of double metal doors was a figure, “while watching you beings, I have concluded that.. you are all pathetically good at this, it's laughable and quite entertaining!”

“If my hunch is correct, this bunch will be a great help to the defense force..” the vice captain smirked as he turned to the side to show off the captain.

“As I am vice captain, we of course have a captain! Meet captain Tsuki of the 3rd division." The captain did a little wave, raising his eyebrow while showing a smirk of his own at the display his vice captain was presenting.

Tsuki crapped his hand getting the crowd's attention, “since we're all here I suppose it's time to show you the actual second phase of the exam.” he turned around making the signal for the metal doors to open.

“This exam, we'll be testing your strength.”

Gasps could be heard from the crowd as the doors opened,

“Your ability to think on the battlefield.”

inside shows a battle field full of kaijus of smaller fortitude.

“And your knowledge of kaiju. After all, it's not just killing them with strength alone.” He looked back at the crowd of trainees. Staring at their mixed emotions, some reluctant, determined, some even looked scared. That made him wanna laugh.

Turning back to the crowd, he spreads his arms showing off, while a Kaiju lunges at him from behind.

Yet he didn't flinch, “this training is to show you the physical prowess necessary to become an officer.” he continues his speech as bars appear before the opening, safely containing the raging Kaiju from harming tsuki.

Kikuno sighed in relief, he knew the captain wasn't gonna get hurt yet he was still on guard everytime.

“Ah but first!” The vice captain-Kikuno cuts in, “we must get you all your combat suits”

---

“These suits are the latest model, so treat them with care alright?” Kikuno's voice echoed through the white room with a slight joking tone as the sounds of trainees putting on their suits filled the air.

“Narisaki Yoshida, combat power: 28%” a look of awe appeared on his and the close teammates faces. “That's almost 30, kind of cool.”

“Hoshina Soichiro, combat power: 34%” the crowd stared in shock at him, some even gasped, he himself looked proud of it. “As expected of a hoshina..” the Captain mumbles.

“Mizaki ___, combat power: 27%”, “oh yay, that's more than I expected!” a young man with red hair beamed with satisfaction.

“Himari ____, combat power: 23%”, “hm, as expected.. I supposed I'm alright with that” she mumbles, silently observing the body suit.

“Suika ___, combat power: 23%” he turned to look at himari, “hey, look we have the same combat power...” himari turned to look at him and hummed a slight sound of confirmation.

“Nagasaki ___, combat power: 15%”, “oh! Well I expected that.. heh..” he mumbles, small droplets of swear already dripping from his forehead as he nervously fiddles with his fingers.

“Hibino kafka, combat power: 17%”, “huh, that's more than I thought… well I'm glad I even got that much actually!” He said cheerfully, stretching out his arms giving the suit a small run down while everyone else's combat power was spoken through the speaker.

After all the members were suited and ready the vice captain tells them to follow him back to the entrance,

“oh and, to keep you all on your toes, 1st division captain Shinomiya will be watching, so do your best! Good luck, you're gonna need it.” Kikuno grinned as they entered, his voice blaring through the earpiece. “as much as I love watching chaos, I suppose I have to explain how this will work”

Captain Tsuki stood in front of the big screen showcasing the trainees, “Theres 33 yoju and 2 honju, Placed in random areas, I expect you all to naturalize these kaijus since you all are armed with the defence force standard issue anti-kaiju weapons, as well as things that will help you if you used your brains.”

The captain sighed and sat down. “We will be watching you in the operation room using the tracking drones for each of you. We of course can't let any of you die here so your suits have a built in shield which activates when it seems your life is in danger.” Tsuki smiled as he watched some of the trainees flex their suits and fix the aim of their rifles.

“Though if we were to come to that… that means you have failed the exam. Still, I won't guarantee you'll be safe so it is up to you to survive.”

Chapter 2: uhm... test run.. CHAPTERS COMING SOON.. gimme a week.

TRUST ME I'M STILL TESTING THIS OUT

Chapter 3: A friend of many!

Summary:

Kafka gets to know his fellow teammates!! What great experience awaits him this chapter hm?

Kafka moves through the crowd of trainees, his mind scrambling to make up a plan to terminate the kaijus. A loud hungry roar echo’d through the training grounds, Kafka's body froze for a split second before regaining his courage to keep moving.

 

The sounds of gun fire filled the air, and he too with few complications ‘geez this is one heavy gun..’ lifted his gun and fired at the yoju, while doing so he analyzed it and searched in his memories a similar yoju from the books he used to read, the info which he trilled into his memory.

 

“Hey!! Aim for the back! It's the weakest part of it!” Kafka shouted, making gestures at his back for example. Two of the teammates looked at him in surprise, “oh? Well it's worth a shot!” ‘pun intended.’

 

One shrugged and raised his rifle while the other worked on getting the yoju to show its back and when it did, roared as they took aim right at the back, Successfully hitting the core while doing so. 

 

The crash sounded like victory to Kafka even if he wasn't the one to kill it, the two teammates threw a thumbs up at him with visible joy and that was enough of a victory for him.

 

He continues his way. Shooting the yojus with minimal complications, sometimes having to stop and throw a bomb for distraction when the shot didn't end it immediately.

 

A loud roar echo'd through the training ground, one of the two honju was making its way to him.

 

Right then and there his body was completely unmovable, his mind yelled at him to move. Yet he didn't, he couldn't move, he was frozen in place.

 

His ears were ringing, he could somewhat hear captain Tsuki through the ear piece yet everything was too loud. He stumbled back and his ass fell flat on the ground.

 

Suddenly

 

A slash of someone's katana ‘or was it a sword? I can't tell’ cut through the blaring sounds, and it also cut through the honju almost all the way.

 

Its core could be seen, and before it could even screech the figure already shot it clean through.

 

The man that saved him looked down at him with such a smug look it made Kafka almost annoyed. “Scared rabbit? Better hop on to safety then because I'll be finishing these kaijus in no time.” He smirked and flipped his braided hair dramatically then ran off.

 

“What … What was that?! Who was that??” Kafka yelled, annoyed at being treated like a scaredy cat. “Oh him? That's Hoshina Soichiro. One of the top proteges in this era” someone walked to him, holding up a hand.

 

He accepted it and the person helped him up, “I'm Narisaki Yoshida. Feel free to call me Yoshida though! I don't like formalities” he said, waving his hand around like a gaz with this comforting aura around him.

 

“Hibino kafka! Nice to meet you Yoshida” Kafka smiled brightly. “Like wise!” Yoshida smiled back just as brightly.

 

“hey!! Get your sunlike asses back to the battlefield!! Did you forget we are fighting over here ?? What if we died because you two were distracted!!” Nagasaki yelled across from them. Suika hit him on the head lightly, “oi, calm down will ya? It's not like we're gonna die anyway”

 

His eyes looked over the rapid firing in the distance, “after all. With how fast hoshina is being.. this exam is gonna be done before we can even do anything remotely worthy.” Suika sighed.

 

“That Hoshina guy is really good at this..” Kafka mumbles, “which is why we should also do better! Come on! Just because he's ahead doesn't mean we can't win!” Kafka cheerfully encourages the others. “Yeah!! There's still a second and third place you know! Alright team, we can do this!” Yoshida was quick to accept Kafka's encouragement. Suika just sighed harder with a tint of fondness in there, while Nagasaki looked hopeful too.

 

“Well if that's all! I'll be going, good luck my fellas!” Yoshida grinned, throwing them a thumbs up as they ran forward. Kafka, quick to catch up also ran forward, smiling all the way as the other two behind them also moved to catch up.

 

 

The few moments Kafka spent with the three were absolutely wonderful! Though he got separated from them because of a yoju, he's sure they'll take care of it! His friends were strong. He is sure of it.

 

As he continues to run through the eerily quiet battle field it was unsettling how quiet it is now. 

 

Then a voice rang out of his earpiece, “Captain Tsuki! We lost signal for hoshina Soichiro!” Kafka’s face changed into one for concern, “last location was near the broken site, it's not ideal to fight there. He could be badly injured by the remaining honju, sir this could be deadly!” 

 

Kafka looked around him, seeing he was close to the location and quickly headed to where hoshina was last seen.

Disregarding the warning captain Tsuki said in the earpiece, all Kafka cared about was helping his savior. ‘Well. He is still a jerk!’

 

---

 

Panting, the white haired boy clutched his injured sides as the honju stood tall and menacing a few feet from him. He knew it would be his death if he made a run for it, so his best choice was to wait for back up.

 

Yet it hurts to even think about needing back up.

 

---

“Soichiro. You are one of the greatest proteges I have ever come across. I say you'd make an amazing defense force officer.” His fathers friends praised him as something precious. 

 

“I expect nothing but perfection from you sosichiro.” His fathers words echoed through the dojo, where he practiced his sword skills each day. “You're strong. And when you're strong you protect.” Father looked him in the eyes, “you must not ask for help as you are not weak.” sosichiro looked at his father's cold eyes.

 “Only the weak ask for help.” 

---

 

Soichiro gritted his teeth, the knuckles he gripped his sword with turning white from the force of it. He was not weak, yet he couldn't think of a way out of this..

 

The honju roared, signaling its attack. Yet sosichiro could not thinking of anything else other than the fact that he was-

 

Pathetic. what a protege he was.. can't even save his own skin, now he'll die here before he could earn his own honor.

 

As the honju charged at him, he closed his eyes. 

 

A large gush of wind flew by him, almost knocking him down. As he looked up he saw the guy he saved from the other honju.

 

Fist clinched, knocked as white as his own from the sheer force of having punched the charging honju. 

 

Yet he didn't stop there, he kept punching and punching. Each blow hitting precisely at its target, the jaw of the honju, the neck of it, the Leg, the eyes, everything. 

 

The honju yelled in pain as each attack pushed it back from its original prey.

 

The observers watched in amaze as Kafka's combat power raised to 20% then 29%, the Punching never stopped. His combat power reached the highest chart.. 38% then finally, as the honju gave one last roar it fell dead.

 

Kafka's combat power read 44%. One of the highest so far. Kafka's knuckles were crimson with blood, not his though. That's for sure..

 

His panting could be heard, fist clinching and unclinching, legs shaking threatening to give out yet he mastered the strength to look at the man he saved. Smiling as he spoke. 

 

“Even if you were a jerk, no one is gonna die on this battlefield. Not when I'm here.” His breathing became staggered before his eyes rolled back giving a sign that he fainted but before he could hit the ground, Soichiro Caught him.

 

He looked at the guy in his arms, and he couldn't help but wonder why it filled him with warmth when he spoke to him.

 

---

 

Back at the operation room captain Tsuki sighed in relief as both of those two reckless idiots survived, he watched as Soichiro carried Kafka in a bridal carry to the base where medics were waiting for them.

 

Tsuki, having been shown that the two were clearly fine, turned to his head at their guest. “So? What do you think, oh great captain of the 1st division?” He said in an almost teasing tone.

 

Isao looked at him, slightly annoyed by it but didn't wanna cause trouble in such an important event. “I suppose.. you have quite the good recruits this year.” “Uhuh I know, they'll be amazing.”

 

Isao's gaze fell on the passed out Kafka “Hibino Kafka, if I remember correctly. He shows promising strength.” he remembers the boy's words before passing out, quite a good quote 

...

“oh? Planning to take one of my recruits now are you?” Tsuki tsk’d “Of course not… I simply wish to.. watch over him for the time being.” His eyes twitched for a moment. 

 

“i supposed I can approve of that… I see such similarities between the two of you.” Tsuki turned to look over at the monitor showing Kafka getting treated. “And I see similarities between you and that hoshina kid.” Isao huffed, and Tsuki chuckled. 

 

“I supposed we found our replacements heh Ever plan on retiring soon, old man?”

 

“Tsuki, you are older than I am.” 

 

“only by a year.”

 

“You're still older than me”

 

“Just shut up and go check up on that kid you find so interesting.”

 

“Very well."
