Only now the protagonist listened to his inner warning signs and push this woman from his chest by both hands. Realizing that asking this one for some explanation will bring more harm that benefit, he turn his gaze to the duo at side, in order to get some help or at least some explanations. But those two had for him only silent stare of disappointment. Somehow he feel like that unspoken comment hit him deeply whit some unpleasant feeling...
But this scientist already moved herself to the side of cat-girl woman, making a rascal grin and not just finger teasing the cat, but directly making fun from her. "Oh my~y… Did someone get so feral that she get a little too much rough whit him and an accident happen? The that kind of accident; when he hit his head on some corner, something fell down on him and the sound of choking echoed? And because some tsundere must first clear all evidence of what they were doing, before she resuscitate him; he ended up whit a brain damage? You know that this will be a suitable plot for a novel when a female hero must overcome her guilt feeling from hurting her male protagonist in order to again win his hart, love and passion, against the risings odds?"
But the asked one was melancholic cold a loudly bark at her. "Fook off!! He just awake like this!!"
And of course the mercenary man must have a comment on her outburst. "Unbelievable-- So, it was so intense: that you make him to faint off? Normally the faint off shall be on the opposite side!"
.
Only not the cat show to the two of them her anger face. "Nothing happened!!" She decide to threaten them when she bring up to the game her claws. Which were her (sharp?) nails, that maybe or maybe not where there the entire time. [Cats can pull on and retract they claws.] But as soon she notice the stare of the protagonist, she redirect her attention to him as she point at him her point finger. "I don't believe in his tricks! And I already told him that I no more playing his (Who are you?) game. He will make his slip and I will be there."
But one can see that this group are at last come kind of friends because they were to much hock onto this topic and melodrama. Especially the mercenary still makes his observations. "Do you want for this mission of yours a pair of weeding rings or a single copulation ring [sex toy – for him to stay longer] will be enough?"
And of course the scientist dint give the feline [cat] a chance to hiss at the macho when she jump in whit her nonchalant approach to defuse the bomb. "Rela~ax, kitty! It's probably only a temporally condition from overworking and stress. Maybe after he take a good nap in warm bed, he will be back to his former self."
.
Indeed the (woman in need of love advice/ intervention?) didn't appreciate they (words of comforts?) addressed at her and tried to get out of this conversation. "Enough! I keep saying that nothing as matting dint happened between the two of us. Anyway, its way to pass behind the season. I just found him slacking on middle of floor. Plus it take some time to wake him up."
For some reason the mercenary was not mislead by that answer and as some kind of big bro to her, he has still holding to the idea of figure out this mystery on its own. "The (Yours seasons) you talking about are all contained inside of yours every monthly cycle. Do you get into an express line to make full season circle in a single day? But look at him!: he is like a virgin boy, ready to be thrown into the den of thirsty lioness. One night there and the cherry boy will be fixed."
On the contrast this pseudo-scientific approach make the lilliputian girl to actually spoke something that can be count as (helpful?). "If he actually got into denial of his action to the point he subconsciously denied himself and ended up in amnesia; then we can finally expect a solid character development."
.
This polemic got into a point where that woman in dress was ready to snap. "Enough of this shit! I ending this ridiculous game right here!" She make a step forward toward the guy. "This shit is all because you wanted to play with my boobs?! Then I give you free time for a solid ten second, but there is a single condition for you to go:-- Whats ours names?"
But the protagonist dint said her name or any other, and maybe only rise one of his eyebrows in silence. Deep inside of him, something ringed an alarm that this is probably a trap, and he quickly realize that he shall not step on this landmine prepared by her.
We shall notice that the rest of the party got this wide eyes from both persons reactions. The mercenary was starting to lose his serious attitude. "Oh shit, he dint even flinch. That was a golden opportunity to lie down, that he just miss…" Suddenly he turn at her whit a question on his face. "And it was a pre-marital [marriage] agreement that I imagine in your hands for a second? If you are that desperate, then how about you do to him the same as before? Maybe the second shock will fix whatever is wrong whit him."
.
The cat-girl woman staring at the protagonist raised her clenched fist whit a twitching blood vein. Somehow it feels like she was powering up for some special attack.
The guy who was destined to receive this attack: jump scare back a step as he nearly was able to see a supernatural energy forming around that paw. Because he was backing whit additional steps he was unaware of different danger that was represented by the short wind breaking wall.
The female scientist foresaw what will soon happen if he was not stopped and got into panic mod, throwing her hands around. She shout at him: "Hey, watch out!! Don't fall over the edge of the roof!! Do you want to die from falling from the top of this building?! Get over here!" She was making this Japanese (Come here!) gesture to lure him to herself. Soon as he walk to the scientist, the girl slap him as hard as her body was capable to do.
.
The slap was so suddenly shocking and loud, that he stop on his thoughts for a moment. It went for a second or two… or few… until he lock back at the attacker.
The lilliputian girl… was obviously suppressing a tears that wanted to sneak out from her eyes... forcing smile on her face covered by few sweat drops… better look on her shows that she was holding her hand down by the other hand, because the twitching red palm shows that she is in bigger pain that the protagonist. But she still tried to act like its nothing. "So-- are you finally wake up from that day dream of yours?… Are you remembering who are you? Who we are? And what you need to do?"
But the answer to her question was a moment of silence…
.
The change to this stale mate arrived suddenly; when the protagonist, by corner of his eye, noticed a quick movement toward the roof of this building…
It was a guided missile… like the one used to shut down a helicopter or to destroy an armored vehicle.
The rest of this party notice it to...
The mercenary was quick to act… He aim… He shot… There was this loud explosion… Nobody bothered to state a question of how he was able to shot down a missile strike. But he shout… "They making their move!! Do that shit, already!!" But he stop himself for a second of thinking until he click his tongue in annoyance. "Tsh!!... That's a great! This whole plan will fail on a guy whit an amnesia. Do you all realize that until the night fall, this building will be swarmed by enemies. And when they realize what we had been up to, we will be glad if our holes will be full with bullets." He was quick searching for hostiles on the other roofs, but the missile attack obviously arrived from some covered position.
.
The sudden realization of imminent unknown danger of modern war-conflict battle was like a petrification shock on the protagonist side. He had suddenly so many question and none answer. No: the lab coat girl suggest that her story tale was a joke, but he actually got a nervous if they actually having some role in that. Not knowing what side in that story he is on, urge him to leave, but once again the body of his dint make the first step to run away, or to take cover, like it was tough to make a stand.
The woman in dress whit unsatisfied expression secretly observed him like if she was obsessed whit him, until she make a comment to break the silence. "Can we just do it?"
And the other woman answered: "Yes. We must risk it. No,-- its actually more on a character setting part, that a knowledge issue. Otherwise we will hardly be able to mentally withstand the consequences that will come to us if we tried to cheat this out." As she say that, she raised her hand whit a remote controller and pressed the button.
A sound of some kind of motor and turnings cart wheel echoed as some delivery robot-box roll out from cover. As it stop near to them he unpack itself making a satellite com-link. No,-- It was more like a portable (alien blaster, heavy sentry gun turret?) from a briefcase. That thing look like it can shut down a spaceships.
.
The scientist went to the side of this (machine?) to play whit some (buttons?) and other control's to set-up the device. The mercenary drag out a thick power cable that was lining unnoticed on side and connected it into that device. The cat-girl ignored the protagonist personal space once more, giving him kidnapping hug from back and practically pushed him into turret gunner position. She forced his hands onto something that look like a firing mechanism, putting his palm and fingers to grab the aim and the trigger.
Of course he doesn't like that. "Hold on! What are you trying to force me to do?!"
But she barked back at him: "I don't know!! It's you job, so I don't know how to do it! Just imagine something that will help us! It's not that our survival solely depend on your performance." Suddenly she got a little flustered, whit a blush on her face. "I- it's not that I wanted especially you to do it... idiot!" [baka]
.
Because the gunner was distracted by the sudden warm affection from a tsundere, he hardly react to the OK thumb gesture from the rest, when the (mechanism?) aimed its (barrel?) to the sky and as she leaned on his back; she forced him to pull the trigger.
A flashy beam of unknown specification fired from the roof, pierced thought the low thick cloud barrier…
It past a second or two until a (electric chain reaction?) happened in the clouds, and something like a loud cracking thunder after lighting echoed above the entire city. It was so spectacular show that it was pointless to ask; if someone dint hear that.
The seconds had passing as the silence returned to the city but nothing was happening... until the peace was interrupted whit something like a thunder in distance. On the other side of coin, it actually sounded like if the clouds above were like a surface of sea and there was this antique wooden frigate. Then when this ship received a signal it aims its cast cannons on wooden carts on his decks and launch a cannonade for a few seconds.
Anticipation risen up as next period of silence ruled the city sky... until a black marks there and there, shows on the cloud panorama. One can imagine that if the theory whit a naval frigate was true a crude cannon balls of the size of fridge will start falling from the sky. And indeed… when the thick cloud barrier was penetrated…
...it was a (crates of supply?) on parachutes… There were more of them that a few… Actually there were lot of them... and they all were drooped on certain positions all around the city as if they were lured there by some signal.
Once again, one can theorize that there was someone waiting above the clouds like an air ship or something like that was sitting on the top of this cloud sea. Especially when the other theory was that the beam was a medium and it was the protagonist who make those crates to materialize in that clouds.
As this party was staring at the show the lab coat was sweating a lot. "Crap,-- it actually worked out." All of them look at the scientist whit (WTF!!) expression on their faces.
.
One of the supply drops land on nearly park and within a few second (someone?) opened it. Even if the team dint saw there; this someone there pull out a (music player device?) and soon start blasting a loud music on the entire area like it was a music festival.
It was a Jingle Bells, but soon it turned into electric guitars combat rock music band edition.
Then a sounds of too high rapid gun fire from something that have a pack of six rotating barrels dominate the scenery when accompanied by that laud music.
Actually some sounds of fighting has been heard from other places in this city, so it nearly sounded that (someone) turned this peacefully scenery into a gun shooting game. Or into a team death match battle royal. [last one stay standing]
.
Realizing that none of those crates has dropping on the roof where this party was standing; the mercenary suggest that they shall go and leave the rest on the cavalry. As he walk out to lead the withdraw, the scientist join him mentioning something that she know about certain panic room on their way. The cat-girl look after them and then at the protagonist who don't look like to start to move. So, she grab his palm and once again she start to pull him toward the stairs, clearly following the lead of those two in front of her.
