Chereads / New Life Because I Saved Her / Chapter 37 - Busting Through

Chapter 37 - Busting Through

Ivy softly landed onto the rubble of the road. She looked around her surrounding before standing up. Scarlet crashed down before getting up and noticed Ivy signaling her to be quiet. She nodded before following Ivy silently. So far, there weren't any enemies approaching their position, but it's likely they are gathering.

Ivy stopped behind a pillar and looked over. She saw there were a bunch of people working. Around a couple hundred people, they all wore black robes with white masks with red markings engraved into it. Ivy removed her attention on the workers and looked at the train, there were multiple compartments open loaded with crates. Confirming their situation, Ivy changed her weapons with M6G PDWS with a short sword.

Scarlet noticed Ivy's new weapons and sighed in her mind when she was able to create her own Space Mana. Shaking the idea out of her head, Scarlet looked over and was a little shocked to see so many people working.

"We should try to ambush and disable that train. Try not to draw too much attention," Ivy whispered to Scarlet as she vanished. Scarlet groaned as she was jealous at how quick Ivy can disappear.

Scarlet quietly moved towards the train to disconnect some of the compartments. She could then try to burn some of the supplies inside the crates, but she needed to be careful as she didn't know what was contained inside. Scarlet heard a few workers being taken as she quickly and silently disconnected one compartment and burned the gangway connection.

She continued before arriving at one of the crates and took a quick peek. Scarlet was surprised to see so many Gems in such a cramp place. She looked at the color before flinching a bit. If she was to burn this container, the whole compartment could explode and injure Ivy.

--------------------------------------------------

Neo jumped down the massive hole in the road as the others descended slowly before finding their footing. Neo assumed that Ivy and Scarlet have already started to investigate the undergrounds. What she wasn't expecting was a large number of people transferring crates from the ground to the train.

Rose was equally shocked before they all heard: "Sir! Someone is here and disconnecting our cargo!"

("Crap! You guys!") Neo said to herself before changing her appearance into one of the workers. Rose and the others processed to try to board the train.

"You!" One of the workers said as he pointed his finger at Neo. Neo quickly stopped as she looked at the man. "Where are you going? Help us with these mechs."

("Oh you gotta be shitting me,") Neo cursed in her mind before running over to one of the mechs. She climbed in as she noticed the controls looked similar. Neo smiled and followed the other mechs into the train.

Rose and the others hid into one of the cargo and stayed silent. She looked around to noticed Scarlet also hiding. Her expression, however, worried Rose. Something wasn't right: Neo said that Ivy and Scarlet were down here, so where the hell is Ivy?

"H-Hey! What are you- ARRH!" A scream echoed in the tunnels.

All of the workers pulled out their weapon and charged at the sudden attacker. One moment, there were screams of men and women; the next, it disappeared. Rose covered her mouth as she felt a bit scared, thinking those screams were from Ivy.

The train suddenly started to move as some soldiers were trying to get onto one of the compartments. Ivy noticed and swiftly caught up to train's slow startup. She knocked off the soldiers trying to get onto the platform with no mercy.

"How long are you going to hid?" Ivy's cold voice sent shivers into her teammates' spine. She holstered her gun and sheathed her sword before looked into the crates.

Rose revealed herself and was about to asked Ivy, but Ivy answered her, "I didn't kill them. Just knocked them out." She pulled out a red gem before smiling. Ivy grabbed a crate and placed it in the back before grabbing another one.

"What are you doing Ivy?" Rose asked before being shown the contents inside."You're gonna try and blow up the back, create some sort of attraction, right?"

"Something along the lines of blowing up. Professor Scarlet, when I give you the signal, use your Semblance or flames to ignite those crates," Ivy said as York and Eden helped as well.

Rose looked out the compartment before noticing some ladders. She grabbed onto them before climbing up only to hear a missed shot. She quickly pulled out her scythe and fired back.

Scarlet got up and grabbed the two crates that the boys were carrying. "Help your team leader. I'll help Ivy here." She watched as York and Eden nodded before rushing on top. She stared at Ivy's back before noticing a slight glow in the shape of a rose.

Placing the last crate, Ivy busted through the gangway connection and into the next cargo. She gave Scarlet the thumbs up as she ignited the Gems. The two ran continued to run from cargo to cargo until they found the conductor.

--------------------------------------------------

"Alright Demons! Show these children who's the boss around here!" Neo heard one of the male order as she climbed into one of the mechs. She smirked while keeping her composure calm.

As the platform rose from underneath, Neo looked around before immediately knocked the mechs around her off. She knew the controls and secrets to these big machines because she made them. Neo was a bit surprised to see these babies again.

Rose and the other hesitated when there was only one mech standing in their way. York was about to smash into it before the mech lent out a hand. Rose took caution before slowly climbing into the palm.

BOOM!

Rose looked at the last compartment as it was set ablaze. She smiled before getting York and Eden on. Neo gave them a thumbs up before running along the train and dropped the trio into the cockpit.

--------------------------------------------------

Ivy dodged another charge of attacks before side sweeping them and knocking them all out. Scarlet blocked a few before parrying and causing a bit more than knocking them out. The two nodded before Ivy created a barrier in front of them.

"You think your gonna escape here alive huh?" a man in a white robe with a black mask. His figure was extremely muscular as he carried a hulking sword in his hand.

"Scar, go," Ivy quickly said before charging at the man. She wanted to get to the cockpit as quick as possible. However, it would be harder if both of them went, so Ivy order Scarlet to go.

Scarlet didn't hesitate as she rushed past Ivy and into the next cargo. Although she didn't like leaving Ivy alone, Scarlet didn't have much of a choice when it came to those cold eyes. She made sure to report the mission in full detail once they went home.

Ivy dodged the slow swing from the man before creating a small explosion with one of the gems she took. The blast sent both of them flying at the ends. The man smirked before charging Ivy, dragging the weapon on the ground. Ivy pulled out her own burdensome sword and slammed the blade down. She created the metal to slowly rise and knocked the man off his balance.

"For such a weak figure, you're able to wield such an explosive toy. Now it's my turn," the man growled before injecting a red gem into a socket and slashed the air, creating a flame arc at Ivy.

Ivy smiled at the man before rushing into the flames and swung her sword in a horizontal motion. Cutting the man in half, his upper half flung off his body. Ivy sighed before burning the body and moved to the next cargo. She really tried to keep things clean, but it was a bit hard with her way of fighting.

"You're bad at keeping things clean," Omega said.

"Tsk, I've never been precise with my enemies."

Ivy found Scarlet unconscious before seeing a cloaked figure rushing towards her. She could see that the attacker used a rapier since the tip was almost invisible when charging. Ivy grabbed the blade before destroying it; she threw a swift right punch into the person's stomach.

Ivy went over to Scarlet before picking the girl up and carrying in onto the roof. She expected to find multiple soldiers on top, and she was not disappointed. Ivy looked all around to see soldiers lined up.

"Can I have some fun?" Yuki groaned in boredom. She watched as Ivy had so much fun playing with these weaklings. She really, really wanted to have her fun.

Ivy smiled before closing her eyes. The soldiers thought the girl gave up and processed to encircle her. However, that was not the case as Ivy's eyes shot open and stood a more terrifying monster than Ivy.

"Who wants some fun boys?" Yuki said in a seductive tone as a single-edge blade appeared in her palm.
