Chapter 16: Chaotic Dawn
"Good thing you're back, Y/N." Bulat said when all of us had gathered.
"Yeah, thanks. Sorry if I made you guys worried. Except for you Mine, I am not sorry at all." I said while pointing at her.
"Why would I be worried to someone as pathetic as you?" She said with her arms crossed.
"Says the one who is also pathetic." I gave her a smug grin.
"Why you- Get back here!" She then began to chase me around the room.
"The two of them sure do get along." Lubbock stated.
"What?! I will never get along with this ugly being!" I yelled.
"I would rather die than be friends with this fat gorilla!" Mine yelled.
"I'm no gorilla! You are!" I shouted at her.
This continues until we just decided to spend our night drinking. It was fun to at least spend time with each other since we had never been able to because of the missions.
"By the way Y/N, can you tell us about your insights in every member of the Jaegers. We could use the information to our advantage." Akame stated.
Everyone looked at me intently as they wait for my response, I sigh first and lean back on the couch.
"Well I'll start with Seryu." I said her name with venom.
"Wait, Seryu? You mean the Imperial gaurd that attempted to kill me and Mine?" Sheele asked.
"Yes, I remember that moment she lost her arms in your fight but they were soon replaced and improved by this other member called Dr. Stylish." I said.
And then it goes on until I finished. Everyone had frowns on their faces as they think, I stand up and grab my cloak, mask and weapons. I was about to grab the door knob but Leone called for me.
"Where are you going?" She asked, the others looked at me.
"Just gonna clear my mind." I said then walked out of the base.
I wore my mask and cloak and place the hood over my head. Then I began to walk further until I'm now out of the base, there was a large river in the west so I head my way there. I sat down on the grass and quietly listen to the relaxing sound of the current. I could hear footsteps from behind me, I was about to grab my pistol and aim it at them I then heard their voice.
"Is there something that has been bothering you, Y/N?" Sheele asked then sat beside me.
"Oh, no. Not at all, I'm just having a little headache." I said removing my mask.
"You know me and the others aren't just your comrades, we are also friends. So if you need anything or someone to talk to you can come to us." She said smiling at me.
"I know, thanks. Hey, remember Nea?" I asked starting a normal conversation.
"Yeah, what about her?" She ask.
"I met her the other day in the capital, she's still happily living with her father." I smiled.
"Of course she is, I guess after all of this I'll go and see her again." She said.
"That'll be great, and I'll make sure all of us will make it out alive in the end." I said.
Sheele stared at me for a few seconds, I look at her confused and was about to talk. But she suddenly pulled me into a hug with my face buried on chest.
"S-Sheele, what are you...." I pause.
"Thank you Y/N...." She said.
The breeze hit out skins and our hair swayed with it. There was a brief silence between us.
"Why are you thanking me?" I asked.
"Remember when I told you that I'm not good at anything? Well, it's because of you, I finally found something that I'm useful for." She said kissing my cheek.
A faint blush appeared on my cheeks as I averted her gaze, this made her giggle.
"I just realized that you look adorable when you're blushing." She said.
"S-shut up, I'm not adorable." I gave her a pout.
"The sky is lovely tonight." She said looking above.
"Yeah... Lay down with me." I said to her when I lie down on the grassy ground.
She did what I said and now the two of us are lying down next to each other while looking at the night sky. I could feel her hand placed upon mine, I grab her hand and we continued to talk until we realized we drifted to sleep outside by the river.
...........................
I soon wake up and stand up, stretching my arms. I look down to my left to see Sheele asleep, I grab my mask that was on the ground and began to wake the sleeping girl up. She slowly opened her eyes and sit up.
"I didn't know that we fell asleep out here. We need to be careful." She said.
"Plus we're outside the base." I said extending my hand to her.
She grabs my hand and I pull her up, the two of us head our way back to base only to see everyone else fighting off some unknown enemies.
"Wait, how were they able to find our base?" Sheele said.
"No time to talk, come on. Make sure you stay near me, Sheele." I said wearing my mask and sweeping Sheele off her feet with my arms.
I jump off the cliff we were standing on and landed in front of where Bulat and Mine are. I placed Sheele back on her feet and draw my sword. The enemy that was standing in front of me was a big guy.
"Oh? Another enemy? Bring it on then." The guy said turning towards us.
"Y/N! Sheele!" Bulat yelled.
My eyes widen when I saw what he is holding. It was Sheele's Teigu, Extase. I took a step forward.
"How about we make a deal? Give us that Teigu and we'll spare you." I said with no emotion.
"Huh?! Why would would I do something like that? I'm not stupid you know!" He yelled.
"Tch, then I'll just kill you then." I said walking towards him.
"Come at me then, you're just signing your death contract." He said.
"Do you even realize who I am?" I asked.
In a second I was behind him, my sword dripping blood. His torso later spilled blood all over and he fell on the ground dead.
"My stealth is far more extreme than anyone, therefore I'm called as Master of Silence around the whole country." I said looking back at the corpse.
I approached the Teigu and grabbed it before going to Sheele and hand it to her.
"I think this belongs to you." I said to her.
She grabs her Teigu from my hand and smiled at me.
"Thank you." She said.
"We have to help the others, quick!" I said and the four of us began to run towards a certain direction.
We later saw an Air Manta flying above us. Bulat asked Mine on who's riding it and she checked it, and it turns out it's Najenda.
"Good thing they made it in time. I wanna ride it." I said still emotionless.
"Even though you're in your killer mode you still try your best to act like that." Bulat said to me.
"Come on, what's wrong with that?" I asked.
Suddenly Mine was about to be attacked by someone from behind, I was about to attack him but Leone suddenly appeared and kicked him away.
"You caught me off guard back there, didn't you?!" Leone said angrily.
"Leone! Uh.." Mine stopped.
"You dare knock me out back there while I was hung over. I'll make sure you'll pay for it!" She said walking towards him while cracking her knuckles.
She then grab the enemy by the neck. He struggled to breathe as Leone continue to talk.
"I like doing surprise attacks but if there's one thing about it is when it happens to me!" She said.
A blade suddenly appeared by the guy's foot and was about to stab her with it, but she suddenly caught it with teeth. Leone punched him to the ground which caused a large crack. Akame and Lubbock later arrived.
"Everybody okay?" Akame asked.
"Yes, we're good." Sheele said.
Out of nowhere, multiple enemies suddenly appeared and surrounded us. We were about to attack but I suddenly felt a little weak. This feeling is like when I was in the boat, everyone else but me and Bulat are the only ones who are holding up.
"What is this? Why do I feel so weak?" Mine said.
"I can't move my body..." Leone said.
"It must be some kind poison." I said removing my cloak.
I drop the cloak on the ground and breath in then out. Bulat seem to know what I'm about to do so he asked me.
"Are you sure about this Y/N?" He asked.
"Yeah I'm sure, I'll be useless later on if I don't activate it." I said.
I began to feel my emotions again, my skin turned white and black markings had started to appear around me the fourth time. Everyone else but Bulat were surprised to see me like this.
"Could that be..... The trump card of your mask?" Lubbock asked.
"It is." I said.
Someone then fell from above, a guy with blue hair began to walk towards the enemies. I could Najenda's voice talk to him and he soon began to kill the enemies. Me and Bulat helped him. Once the enemies were dealt with, they suddenly exploded. The guy's body was destroyed, but he suddenly went back to normal. He gazed at Mine and began to walk towards her, his hands then straightened her hair and we were confused.
"Fixed." He said.
"(Not only he's a Teigu but he's also a neat freak..... Dammit, I forgot that I only have six times left to use this..... I gotta be careful.)"
"Susanoo, the remaining enemies are on the cliff to the southeast. Don't let them escape." Najenda ordered him.
"Understood." He said.
"Looks like we got them." Bulat said.
Suddenly, something began to grow and grow larger. The main culprit, who I now know is Dr. Stylish turned himself into a Danger Beast. I could see him eat his comrades and he even became larger.
"This is bad." I said.
I began to run towards at Stylish at high speed, I jumped as high as I can and began to slash my sword at his skin but it won't do any damage.
"Your little toy there won't be able to scratch my skin! All of you have no chance on winning!!" He was about to hit me with his giant arm but I was able to evade it in time.
I grab my pistol and began shooting him, but it didn't do any damage at all too. I reload my pistol and put it back in it's holster while safely landing on my feet. Observing him for a few seconds while avoiding his attacks, I later noticed Dr. Styling on the top of the giant body. The body then fell down after getting hit by Mine's Pumpkin.
Running as fast as I can, I was almost hit by the giant arm but good thing the guy Teigu called Susanoo blocked it. I was now in front of Stylish, in a swift move, I stabbed his heart.
"I-Imposible...... I haven't finished a lot of my experiments yet..... This can't be happening..." We're the last words he said.
"One Jaeger down, seven left to go." I said as I turn back to normal then remove my mask.
Jaegers: 7
