I walk on the paved road and look around me from time to time and see nothing but a wasteland and the sky looks grey and old .
Sakura :"So singur tell me something what the hell is this place".
Singur :"Well I did know that the place where I was at was a shrine so everything changed and therefore I'm unable to help you in that regard".
As we walk for minutes we hear what seems like gunfighting .
Sakura :"Should probably check it out".
I quickly deviate from the road to approach this ruckus and hide behind a large boulder to take in the sight . Three black trucks surrounded by some bandits and it seems the security is holding them off for now as bullets and shred each the security team it looks like there might be a winner so it looks like I'll interfere then I'll take all the money .
(Captain POV)
Damnit I knew we should've brought more escorts and we even took the long route god damnit I lean over my cover and fire at them with an explosive round but someone quickly grabs the back of my neck and pulls me down barely avoiding a bullet .
Soldier :"CAPTAIN YOU SON OF A GUN DON'T TAKE THE EARLY TICKET TO HELL BITCH"!!
Lawrence he's my second in command and the bane of my existence .
Captain :"More on that later how's the situation"?
He looked down on the ground so it's this bad then huh .
Lawrence :"It's fubar captain the team is out of ammunition and the bandits are gaining ground and it even looks like the reinforcements aren't not going to make it in time".
Wow this really is fubar good damnit no calm down there has to be something I can do . Huh it's silent and now there's fighting what are they fighting amongst them selves me ?
Soldier :"Captain the bullets have stopped".
I turn around at one of the soldiers .
Captain :"Huh"?
Another one comes up behind him .
Soldier :"And there's a kid coming back from there".
Lawrence :"Is it a trap"?
Soldier :"We checked the bandits and they're no more it seems they were all killed by the kid and even captain "Gozo" was amongst them".
Huh well ask and ye shall receive .
Captain :"Where is that kid"?
Soldier :"He's over there talking with the soldiers and even providing some basic medical aid".
Lawrence :"What"?
I get up and dust off my pants .
Captain :"Take me to him".
(Sakura POV)
All right that's the last guy over and done with they're all bandaged up I stand up and it's good I intervened there are alot of them unable to even stand .
Soldier :"Sir my I know your name".
I look behind me and it's one of the soldiers standing .
Sakura :"Just call me traveler".
Absolutely no way I'm giving him my name .
Soldier :"The Captains here"!
Everyone makes way and solutes the woman walking towards me . She looked capable to say the least and her body was modest with short blue hair and blueish eyes and her black armour covered her chest and shoulders and even the legs and I notice her holding her helmet beside her and it had six blue eyes emanating bulish light . I look back up and notice her eyes that never looked away from me I didn't even realize that she was standing over me .
Captain :"You boy what is your name".
She said it as if she owned me but I decide to stay silent instead .
Captain :"Well choosing the silent game well it's not my place to ask either way thank you for helping us".
She bowed and quickly stood up .
Captain :"May y-".
Sakura :"yes , I will accompany you now get prepped quickly".
I turn back as I'm sure she looked shocked . I walk to one of the trucks turned upside down and burning and look down to a hand reaching out the window and it seems the guy was burned .
Soldier :"You know kids aren't supposed to see this".
Sakura :"And that kid saved you so show some gratitude".
I turn around and it's a woman with a flat chest . But she somehow looks different she's fully clothed in black and her helmet had no visor or eye slits just like the man back at the mountain .
Soldier :"Sorry shouldn't have talked , by the way my name's Rebecca what's yours"?
Again I'll just say the same thing .
Sakura :"Call me a traveler".
She folded her arms and looked at me .
Rebecca :"Even I know that's a fake name come on tell this big sister your name".
Tsk how persistent .
Sakura:"I refuse and don't try to push for my name".
I get up and walk away as the soldiers recover and get inside the trucks but the captain throws me a box I look down on it and it says on the box equipment .
Captain :"Take it you'll need replacement for your armour".
I bow in thanking her and quickly get behind the burning truck and undress my self .
(Captain POV)
This kid really is.....cute like how he bowed at me find a kid who can show respect like that . It makes me want to take him for myself but still he immediately knew we wanted escorting I should take this time to recruit him as fast as possible before other PMC'S think of something funny .
Sakura :"Done".
Me and Rebecca look at the kid walking and he's perfect he's soooo cute I can't stop looking at him at all .
(Sakura POV)
Well it's good like really comfy . The helmet was really iffy looking it had to two large empty eyes and the helmet it self had communication head piece I wear it and yep really comfy and for the rest of my body it was a black tight suit with blue pouches some filled with clips of ammo for the pistol and one large pouch that had the star of life symbol and with a holster on my right leg for a pistol and my left shoulder had a black pouldren it looked reasonably flexible . Obviously I couldn't leave my badass cape behind so I took a piece of it and wrapped it around my right shoulder next I looked at my hands and the left one had a screen of some sort while the right had armour on it before I leave I take Singur with me and it seems that the armour has a magnet that allows me to attach a weapon to my back now that's neat . I walk out and immediately notice Rebecca and the captain's stare on me .
Rebecca :"You didn't tell me he'd be this cute".
Let's pretend I didn't hear that .
Sakura :"Captain".
I break her out of the trance that she was in .
Pointing to my left hand asking what it was .
Captain :"Sorry now that screen is used to connect to the team of this operation and allows you to call whoever's on your number".
Impressive this piece of tech is more advanced than what we have on earth .
Sakura :"Thank you for this now let's leave".
I turn around not noticing the blush on the captain's face .
Captain :"w...wait what's really your name"?
I stand still wondering if I should trust them but I say nay .
Sakura :"I said I'm a traveler and that's the end of that got it".
I walk to one of the apc's and get inside and everyone is giving me weird looks and there are about 10 seats with nine of them being filled and I get in the middle of the right side and sit down holding my weapon in my hands and laying back and the door to the apc closes .
Soldier #2 :"So kid who are you"?
Soldier #1 :"Honestly we all wanna know
Soldier #3 :"Wow cool sword dude you and Ashely are gonna be a wonder team".
I sigh and look at all of them they seem in their mid 20's and they have the same gear as me just different guns with their helmets beside them , as the chatter began to increase someone clapped their hands and they all go quiet .
Soldier #5 :"So that's the kid huh"?
I looked at him and he had a large stature and his gold hair probably says that he's arrogant with his rugged skin this guy had a few share of battles .
Soldier #4 :"Yep don't know how he did it"?
They're talking like I'm a piece of meat even though I'm right here . One of them got up from their seat and stood Infront of me .
Soldier #5 :"Hey kid how about a match huh you and me".
Soldier #2 :"ARE YOU INSANE Y-".
The man is cut off as the man Infront of me holds is arm forward and it seems like telekinesis , he let the man out of the chokehold the man began to cough up a storm and his teammates comfort him . So this guy thinks he's a big shot ey well I'll put him in his place for now let's stir up the pot .
Sakura :"Sit down for now kid".
I looked at him to see his reaction .
Soldier #5 :"What did you say"?
He looks at me bloodshot eyes as expected .
Sakura :"You heard me unless you wanna square up right here and now sit down".
I glare back at him .
Soldier #5 :"Oooh I'm so scared the kid is gonna beat me up why don't you show me your face huh bitch".
Wow even elementary schoolers are less annoying than this guy even though I was a teacher for about a year .
Sakura :"You wanna see my face that bad huh , well if you win you might in your dreams".
Yep struck a nerve the apc stops in it's tracks as the driver yells .
Driver :"We made it everyone now unpack".
The doors open as everyone steps outside one by one , well at least they're organized .
I walk out side and fresh air fills my lungs as my eyes begin to adjust to the brightness of this city .
Sakura :"Wow they even have sci-fi huh".
I mumbled under my breath .
Captain :"Hey kid"!
I turn around and the captain is right behind me already .
Captain :"So do you like it"?
I look around for a minute .
Sakura :"Well I have to see more than that to say".
Captain :"I guess it's true then let me lead you to the quarters".
I turn around and it's the arrogant prick glaring at me , it seems like he can't do anything when she's around huh .
Sakura :"Sorry but I promised this guy for a sparring match".
I point at him and she looks and she sighs in disbelief .
Captain :"That son of a bitch adam fighting the guy who just saved us yep that's him".
Sakura :"Well I'm gonna fight him but for some safety measure get the medics".
She smiles at me and she blows a whistle two flying drones appear .
Sakura :"I'm gonna go now you can watch if you like".
I turn around and walk towards Adam talking to a few of his yes men he turns around and glares at me .
Adam :"Oh I thought you'd hide behind the captain kid he well I'll make sure you never walk again".
I look behind him and sure enough he is alone .
Sakura :"So fighting a 5 vs 1 against a kid huh yeah really now".
He laughs then quickly glares at me and it seems the ruckus has attracted the workers and other soldiers as they gather around in a circle .
Adams :"What not liking the center stage then I'll send you right off".
Sakura :"WAIT"!!
Everyone stops talking .
Sakura :"Should we use weapons".
Adam :"You fucker I'll shut you up".
I guess a no I throw down my sword as he raises his hand and in one quick motion I grab his arm and throw him over my shoulder breaking the cement ground underneath him .
Sakura :"Man you really are disappointing".
The crowd whispers have grown frantic but I pay no mind to them , I stare back at the 4 goon buffoons .
Sakura :"So who's next then".
Soldier #4 :"FUCKING KILL HIM"!!
They all run at me like it's the fucking avengers a charge well that's easy I break one guys leg and duck down in time and deliver a gut punch to the second guy then the third guy breaks his fingers trying to punch my stomach and I break his arm and the last guy stares at me as the three guys around me fall unconscious .
Sakura :"So then an arm or a leg".
Goon :"Huh".
I break both of his arms and legs at light speed and he falls unconscious before he even hits the ground I walk to pick up Singur and get out of the crowd as they make way for me to pass .
Captain :"Good way to make a scene
I turn around sighing .
Sakura :"It's not like I wanted it to happen".
Captain :"Well that's true now then shall we go".
Sakura :"Thought you'd never say that".
