Martin's love twist V2
chapter 2
Hey folks, I might start answering or responding to reviews cause it would be neat to show people what I think and give them a notice I am listening.
Redstar Henry: Thanks for that, each of your points are greatlly appreciated and it's good to see that this is gonna help them develop at a much more leisure pace, and in different ways I suppose.
Erin (Guest): Regarding your complaints, let me list the answers like this.
First off, I wouldn't put it past someone to exist like the girl cause the world is pretty messed up, and people have lashed out at people asking them out with no regards for who watches and that can lead to the person they're yelling at feel small and even worst then before.
Second, um, dude? Did you really read the reasons or did you just skip over that part? I literally gave a reason why Martin was picked, why Hyohime was part of the program to be reformed, and why the setting was not changed. If it's as bad as you think it is, did you just jump over random parts?
Third, yeah, well guess what? This ISN'T the series, it's a fanfiction. A work of fiction where characters aren't spot on how they are in the show. And why a hentai series? I'm pretty sure if men stare at a woman with a big chest, then girls would also stare like that and feed inadequate if they're not that big.
So in conclusion, most of your arguments literally fall on flat ears or show you didn't really pay attention. And considering how the other one had some plotholes, which me and my co-author are gonna keep from having, you thinking this version is worst REALLY shows that you might be one of those folks who don't care for plot and/or just want to nitpick things, which to me, is more amusing and laughable.

-India-
A old man ran down the street and turned down an alley while panting and hearing a growling sound getting closer and closer. He ducked down behind a crate and shook in fear. 'Demons! Demons everywhere! I need to get out of here!'
That's when he saw a shadow go over his own and looked up before letting out a scream just as there was a sickening crunch.
-Torrington-
RING RING RING RING-
The ringing was cut off as Hyohime's hand slapped the clock against the wall.
"Too early." She groaned while slowly waking up. "Too….early…." she blinked and yawned while stretching her body out and saw some light outside. "Who sets a clock this early in the morning?"
"Zzzz."
She looked down and saw Martin sleeping on the floor without any blankets or pillow. 'Huh...wait.' She looked at herself and saw she was covered in pillows and blankets, which made her look like a cocoon. 'Oh no, did I hog all these?'
"Zzzz." Martin snored while shivering a little.
She tried untangling herself and got one blanket off before tossing it on him.
He smiled in his sleep while not shivering at all.
'I hope that's enough blankets.'
DING DONG DING DONG! DING DONG DING DONG!
The school bell rang out loudly while causing both to jump.
"Woah! What the? Who the?" spoke Martin looking around. "Was that the bell?"
"I think so." Hyohime said while hanging from the ceiling due to the sudden loud noise.
He groaned and got on his feet while rubbing his back. "What time is it?"
"Um….noon?" She said looking at the clock on the ground.
"Wait what?!" he spoke with wide eyes. "I'm late for class!"
She blinked at that while jumping down as Martin started to get ready. "Class? Like what kind of class?"
"History of Canada!"
"...sounds boring."
"I still gotta get there or I'll be late!"
Hyohime watched him fly out the door while confused as hell. "I'll see you then?" she dropped down and recalled what Mom said earlier. 'Wait, aren't I technically a student here? She forgot to tell me my classes!' She then saw a note on Martin's table and saw it was a note from Mom.
It read:
All classes will be in conjunction to Martin. Meaning anything he takes, you take.
MOM
'...KUSO!' she thought before running out of the room. 'That means I'm gonna be late too!'
She ran faster and faster while looking like a madman from hell. However she got lost fifty times since she didn't know the layout of the school.
(Fifty more times later)
She panted while leaning against a wall trying to catch her breath. "Oh god….just where is this baka class?!" She then saw Diana walking by and grabbed her arm. "Help...me...human…"
"What's wrong? And why are you sweating? It's not even one."
"I need to...find Martin...we have the….same classes…."
"Really? Well his class is english right now, but I think it just ended."
"Fakku shi tto mazāfākingu!" (Fuck shit motherfucking!)
'That didn't sound good.' she thought while the bell rang as students started leaving class. "Uh, if you hurry down the hall and take a left you might be able to catch him."
"Thank you." She said before running off to the right. "KUSO!"
'I hope she doesn't crash into anyone.'
(Fifty more turns later)
Martin was sighing while walking to his next class, which was Geometry 101. 'I hate this kind of math.'
Just then he saw Hyohime on the ground and panting heavily.
"Too...much running….kuso…."
He ran over and crouched down. "Hyohime? What's wrong? Why are you panting?"
"I…..I….was looking for….Martin…." she got out while looking close to passing out.
"Hyohime. I think you need some water." He said while helping her up.
"I'm fine….just let me...catch my breath." She said while taking deep breaths.
"Why were you looking for me anyway? I was just in class."
She took some more breaths before feeling better. "I'm in your classes as well. Mom's orders apparently."
"Really?"
"Yes. And now what class did I miss now?"
"You missed science, I was just heading to Geometry 101."
"...kuso. I hate math." She grumbled.
"You use to take classes?"
"I took kendo, calligraphy and archery. Among other things." She said with pride.
"What about ninja stuff?"
"No. My father wasn't from a ninja clan, it was a samurai family." She deadpanned.
"Oh, my bad."
"It's fine, but let's go before we-"
DING DONG DING DONG!
"Are late." 'KUSO!'
"Let's go before we get stuck with solving a problem in front of the class."
"Is that a thing?"
"With her yes!"
She gulped before they ran towards the class.
(One difficult and soul stealing class later)
Both came out looking like they got their life drained from their bodies.
"So….drained…." Hyohime groaned. 'How can math be THIS much worse after this many years!?'
"Same…" Martin groaned as they walked towards the cafeteria and smelled the fish and chips.
"Food~" she said while feeling life returning to her. "Tilapia."
"Food always helps the soul." he grinned as they got in line while noting how some of the guys in line were looking at Hyohime. "I think you're still getting some attention."
"I know." She said annoyed. "And they are really becoming temes."
"Just don't try anything ok?"
She nodded before taking a tray and three chunks of fish and chips. "I'll be fine as soon as we get a seat and eat."
"Way ahead of you." He said as they got their food and sat down at a table, which for some reason was where Jenni was eating.
"Kon'nichiwa." (Hello) Hyohime said to the girl.
"Uh...what?" she replied confused.
"I said hello." She frowned. "I'm japanese."
"Oh! Sorry about that."
"It's fine. So who are you?"
"I'm Jenni, and I take it you're new around?"
She nodded. "Yep I'm Hyohime Fujiwara and I'm Martin's roommate."
"Well that's...wait, Martin's roommate?" she blinked and raised an eyebrow. "Um, you do know that's not allowed, right?"
"I got permission from the headmaster." She said since technically Mom was the one giving her her accommodations. "And Martin has been a nice roommate."
"You know he's a flirt right?" Jenni said before seeing Martin looking depressed. "What's wrong with him?"
Hyohime whispered what happened to her while rubbing Martin's back.
"...oh. I'm...wow…" Jenni said in shock. 'Even I wouldn't go that far.'
"So can you please try to be nicer to him? I know he might flirt a little, but Martin's trying to be more respectful of us girls. Plus he did help with a little outing and he was a gentleman."
"Really?"
Hyohime nodded while Martin started to feel a little more positive. "But try to keep it down, I can only guess the kids here would spread rumors, and I don't need that right now."
"I'll do that and don't worry I'll keep my mouth zipped." She said with a thumbs up.
"Arigato." Hyohime smiled before finishing her meal. "You seem like a nice girl so can we...be friends?"
"Sure, that sounds great."
"And can you be Martin's friend too? I knew he won't flirt with you." She turned to Martin. "Right Martin?"
He looked at Jenni and recalled the past rejections before nodding. "Sure, no flirting, off limits, gotcha."
She nodded. "See, Martin knows a good friend when he sees one." She bowed to her. "Again arigato….um what's your name again?"
"Jenni."
"Arigato Jenni-san."
"Oh, arigatou Hyohime." she tried bowing back.
She smiled at that while feeling a little happy to have another human friend, well one after a very VERY long time.
(A while later)
Martin and Hyohime were in biology after finishing lunch.
And it was the dissection of birds, hawks to be exact.
"Get ready students for this will be on next week's exam." The professor said before cutting the bird's stomach with careful precision.
Hyohime covered her mouth while trying to keep from throwing up.
"You shall do the same with your birds, and remember, one false move and you might get feces from the intestines."
She felt ill before she and Martin heard beeping.
"The Center." He whispered to her.
"Thank kami, I was about to puke."
"Uh excuse me, can I take Hyohime to the nurse's office? She's not feeling too well."
"You can not. This is important for your grades."
"But-"
Cue Hyohime puking from seeing a bird's stomach being shown.
The professor sighed. "Fine, please escort her and let the janitor know about the mess."
"Ok professor." He said while helping the girl out of the room.
"Um…..that was….ugh."
"Don't worry you'll be ok." Martin said before hearing the watch beep again. He looked at it and saw it was leading him to a locker. "In here."
"Um ok." She said as they entered the locker.
-Center-
And somehow appeared in Mom's office.
"This is new." Martin said in surprise. "Usually we take the small tram and get scanned before getting here."
"That's kind of cool." Hyohime said while looking around. "Maybe it's important and she wants to see us without all that stuff?"
"You'd be correct."
They turned and saw Mom sitting on her chair while looking at a screwdriver like contraption with a green bulb on it.
"Oh Mom, what's going on? And what's that?" Martin asked.
"It's a sonic screwdriver. Something we got from a Time Lord named the Monk. He caused some trouble in the past so we put him in solitary confinement back in the fifties."
"Time Lord? Wait, you mean…..there's a teal one here? Like right now in the Center?"
"Yes but be warned. He's the Doctor's adversary when he first came to earth. Even before the Master, so approach with extreme caution. And Hyohime, if you need more information try the web, it documents the real uncensored information on this particular topic."
"Um, thank you." she replied. "But why did you call us here?"
"Yeah Mom, why did you call us?" He asked while confused.
"Isn't it obvious? A mission."
"Yeah but what kind? Oh I know you want us to stop a zombie invasion right?"
"No."
"Not even a nazi zombie invasion?"
"It was already done back in 1945."
"For real?! Aw man!" he groaned lightly kicking at the ground with his hands in his pockets.
"But what is this mission?" Hyohime asked while really confused and getting a little impatient.
"Well there's been some sightings in a small town located between India and Tibet regarding a small pack of Weretigers."
"Wait, aren't they sorcerers that can shapeshift into tigers?"
"The same and apparently someone caused this pack to get really mad, since most don't attack without reason and only attack livestock." She sighed. "But now they are attacking the villagers."
"I can take them!" Hyohime smirked. "I'm not afraid of nekos!"
"These aren't ordinary nekos, they're much bigger and much angry."
"And they can turn others into weretigers visa magic or bites."
"Like a lycan? Ha! I've seen them and kitsune. I'm more then enough to send them packing." She smirked.
"Word of warning. We've tried experiments on the lycan virus on other aliens and supernatural beings and it's been found that those with half human ancestry are more likely to be affected by the virus then a normal human." spoke Mom while looking at Martin. "Meaning if you get bitten Agent Martin, you might have a high chance at becoming one of them, especially since you've already been transformed into a werewolf before."
He gulped. "So I'm going to be a vampire, werewolf and weretiger thing?"
"It's not the Underworld movies Martin." she deadpanned. "And that's only IF you get bitten."
"So when do we leave and um….do you have armor by chance?"
"Yes, but the prototypes are still in work, the last one nearly broke a man's spine when he tried turning around too far."
She gulped. "Anything that might not kill me? I...don't want to be bitten."
"Just one, but if you use it you can't change form and it's basically a plug suit/bullet proof hybrid."
"I'll use it." She said before a large tube covered her up and she was undressed and redressed at a rapid speed. "AHHH!"
"WOOHP technology is an interesting one." Mom muttered.
The spinning stopped as the tube disappeared as showed the woman wearing a red plug suit with armor on her arms, legs and other assorted places. "Ugh...my stomach…."
"Be glad, last test subject was tied up and nearly had their arms dislocated."
Martin was surprised at this while noticing that the suit made her assets restricted in some places before he got a nosebleed.
Hyohime shook her head and looked herself over. "It's not bad, not the worse thing I wore but I kind of like it." 'Except for making my butt bigger.'
"Now get ready you two." Mom said before a portal appeared under them. "Because it's a long way down to the ground."
"Ahhhh!" they cried while falling down as it closed up.
"I never get tired of that." She smirked.
-Somewhere between India and Tibet-
"AHHHHH!" Both screamed before crashing into a lake.
SPLASH!
Both swam to the top while sputtering at the water getting over them.
"Baka Mom! Just a baka!" Hyohime growled while spitting out some water. "That was so uncalled for!"
"You said it, but that's just who she is." he replied before noticing how the water rolled off her face and suit while his eyes widened seeing her chest.
"What are you….are you looking at my chest?!" She blushed.
He reeled back and looked away. "N-N-No! I swear!"
"Tell me the truth, I'm not going to get that mad." She said with a slight edge to her tone.
He gulped. "Maybe….a little, but it's not my fault! It just...hugs you."
"..." she sighed. "Just don't make it a habit, I'm only wearing this for the mission."
"Grrr."
Both turned and saw a crocodile in the water on their left.
"Grrr." It growled while swimming by and not attacking them.
"Um….maybe it just ate?" Martin said with a nervous sweat down his neck. "I did hear they don't eat much meat at once, so maybe it's stuffed."
"I know, I read about it and some can eat enough for a year." Hyohime said before they swam towards shore. "But let's find this village and kick these nekos asses into next year."
"Sounds like someone's excited for their first real mission. Well don't get too excited, you gotta know what to expect and be ready." he smiled while they moved away from the water. "Watch what I do and follow."
She nodded before seeing him walk into a tree. 'Baka.' "Is that part of the job or just you getting acquainted with Mother Nature?"
"Oh ha ha ha." he remarked dryly. "That one was on me, but trust me, we'll get this done in no time." 'Course it would have helped if Mom sent Java and Diana with us.'
(At the village)
The place was abandoned except for a few cows and monkeys running around. That and some large statues of tigers in every street corner.
"This feels like a book I read. The Jungle Book if I recall." Hyohime said while looking around.
"Well I can tell you this place doesn't have any trees to swing from." remarked Martin looking at one of the statues.
"That's Tarzan." She deadpanned before seeing a few human remains on the ground, and most of it was fresh. "Um...Martin." 'I feel….ugh….'
"Yes….oh dear god!" He yelled seeing the decomposing skull of a woman near one of the statues. He covered his mouth and tried not to throw up. 'Oh god….oh god….gonna vomit!'
Both puked while not noticing a few cat like eyes watching them from the buildings around them. Each one looking at them for an opening, yet with a human like patience that seemed too calm. Like it was done before.
"Ugh….what yokai would...do this?" Hyohime groaned.
"Oh man...this is my first real time seeing someone dead. The others times it was like near miss at actually death, but this? It's like someone cranked the adult settings up to high."
"Agreed, but….let's find out who did this." She said while thinking about if she tried to go that far in her revenge. 'No don't think about it.'
Martin nodded before seeing a large shape moving towards Hyohime. "L-Look out! Behind you!"
She turned and saw a woman in rags and looking very tired.
"Hello strangers to our humble village."
They blinked before looking at each other in confusion as they didn't notice she was getting bigger and more animal like.
"That was odd."
"I know, I didn't even know anyone still lived here."
The woman finished her change before saying in a low growl. "I hope you can become our honored guests at our banquet! RAWR!"
They went wide eyed at seeing claws, teeth, and fur rise up before seeing more people walk out casually.
"Oh kami! Look at them!" Hyohime gasped as the people started to change shape before their eyes. "There must be a few hundred of these guys!"
"Hyohime, use your siren powers!"
"But what if they are girls? I can't affect girls remember?!"
"Then blast their ears out!"
She inhaled before letting out a loud scream while Martin covered his ears.
"GRA!"
"MY EARS!"
"MY EYES!"
They screamed in pain as Martin grabbed Hyohime and ran into a building that looked like a temple and started to barricade it.
"Oh man oh man oh man oh man!" muttered Martin in worry. "This is crazy. It really is." he looked at his hands and saw them shaking. 'I'm scared, I'm really scared of what's gonna happen. We could end up dead!'
Hyohime continued to scream while Martin looked at the legendex and saw nothing about killing weretigers. Not one bit of info.
He rubbed his hands together and began pacing. 'Oh man, is this it? Are we gonna die? We can't die! I had so much stuff I wanted to show her, but now we might end up eaten by one of them. Why did this mission have to be so much more graphic than the others? Why couldn't it have been some sort of spectre?' He then got an idea. 'Wait, if we can't kill them why not get them killed another away….but what-wait! The crocodiles! That's it!'
'I can't keep this up much longer!' Hyohime thought while getting really tired.
"Hyohime! Stop screaming!"
She stopped. "Why?! They're about to kill us!"
"Yes, but we need them to follow us back to the lake, if we can get them there then we can let the crocodiles to help out."
"But they might be full like you said."
"It's the only thing that will work!"
"RAWR!" They roared while trying the break down the door.
"I know it's a gamble, but if we don't take it then we're definitely gonna die here."
Hyohime gulped before seeing a window and nodded. "Ok but if we die I'm going to peck your head in Yomi for eternity!"
"Ok! Now let's get out of-"
CRASH!
"RAWR!"
"Run!"
The weretigers crashed into the temple as the two half humans ran out of the window and towards the lake.
"AFTER THEM!"
"RIP THEIR HEADS OFF!"
"MILK THEIR BLOOD!"
(A little closer to the lake)
"Grr."
"Grrr."
"Grr."
"I hope this works." muttered Martin as they reached the shore.
"Same and if we die I have to confess." Hyohime said while the weretigers ran behind them. "I think you're a cool human!"
"Thanks, and you're a great siren, and the only one I've ever actually met."
"Arigato Martin-san!"
"EAT THEIR FLESH!" The monsters roared before the two went in separate directions as they ran right into the water.
"Grr." Growled several crocodiles as they got up and entered the water before swimming towards the cursed humans.
Martin swam as best as he could while several of the weretigers were right on his tail.
Same with Hyohime as the crocodiles started to grab onto the weretigers and started to do their death rolls under the water.
"AHHH!"
"BY INDRA NO!"
SNAP!
CRUNCH!
TEAR!
RIP!
GULP!
Several of them were eaten while the others swam away or others tried biting into the crocs themselves and started tearing into them.
All the while Martin and Hyohime were able to swim to the other side of the lake. They reeled back from the carnage while seeing the water turning red.
"Oh kami….I'm...I'm…..ugh….." Hyohime groaned while feeling sicker than normal. "We….ugh...I'm…." she puked her guts out.
'I can't believe this….I just can't….' Martin thought in horror. He saw the other weretigers run back to the village and covered his mouth. "Hyohime...we gotta keep moving."
"But….I can't…."
"We must." He said while seeing some weretigers swimming towards them. He grabbed her by the arm and started dragging her towards a nearby forest.
(Some time later)
"Martin. I'm so tired." Hyohime said. "I need to rest."
"Alright, go ahead, I'll keep watch."
She plopped down near a tree while taking in massive amounts of air. 'Just….why did she send us….here to die?'
Just then she saw a weretiger walking by, but it was a child and looked kind of tired himself.
'Oh no! Why now?!'
"So….tired." He said while looking around. "Need….sleep...zzzzz." and with that the boy plopped down on the ground.
She sighed in relief. 'Thank kami.'
That was when the mother came by and picked the boy up before noticing them and left them alone. "Really we had enough trouble with these outsiders…"
'Wait huh? They don't want to….oh kami they don't want to eat us!' she thought in relief while Martin looked lost.
"I don't get it, why'd leave us….unless, crap! They might be going to tell the others where we are!"
"Or maybe they don't want more family members to die from two half humans?" Hyohime countered. "They are humans in a sense so PERHAPS they want to keep their families safe?"
Martin blinked and recalled that tigers are, while not sociable like wolves, are protective to their young and would fight tooth and nail against other tigers. That and they did 'kill' several that might of had families or were part of a family. "Still, most of them didn't seem all that hesitating and were still chasing us, meaning we've gotta find better shelter and figure out just what's been going on."
Hyohime slowly got up. "Ok."
The two kept going through the forest while spotting some big rocks up ahead and hid behind them while Martin tried using the communicator on the U-Watch.
"Billy? Mom? Is anyone there?"
All he got was static with no one responding.
"Damn it!" Martin exclaimed while hearing the sounds of tigers in the air as one moved near them. "Oh crap!"
"Wait." Hyohime said while noticing that the tigers paws had only four toes. "Did that thing say that weretigers had five paws?"
"Yeah, why?"
"That one had four toes, not five." She said as the tiger left. "Meaning it's not one of the villagers."
"But just how are you going to get out of her with our lives?" He said with concern and dread.
"I….don't know."
He groaned and dropped to the ground. "This isn't suppose to happen. There's supposed to be slime, some chasing, and then some plan to beat whoever's behind this, not blood and running for our lives!"
'Slime?' She thought with confusion as Martin continued.
"My whole body is shaking, my sweat is cold, this never happened! It's like being chased by killers with no way out. Even if I use the U-Watch we're out numbered!"
"Martin." She said with concern. "I know this is….different. But this is life, it just throws curveballs at us. Nothing is the same twice."
He went silent while looking at the ground. 'What would Java or Diana do? Java would probably charge in, Diana might say this is a dream from fear, and I'd probably come up with something from a comic or game, but what could I...wait….'
"Martin? What's wrong?" Hyohime asked while seeing the fire in Martin's eyes.
He brought the legendex back up and scrolled through it. "Come on...come on…"
'Why that thing again? It didn't help before so why will it help now?'
"Ah! Here it is, in some parts of Asia weretigers are said to be spirits of those that were killed in tiger attacks or those whose family were cursed."
"Wait….so they are….ghosts?!" She gulped. 'Ahh!'
"Well in a way, meaning like some ghosts, if we can figure out a way to exorcise them or put them to rest, they should go away. But it also says there have been communities of only weretigers who are descendents from others, so they either disappear or revert back to human form."
"But…..how can we even get there? They'll eat us and turn us into them!"
"Well if we can find some less then guarded route back, we can reach the village and see if we can find an underground room that says is used for exorcism here in India."
"Um…." she gulped while steeling herself. "Alright, but if we get caught I'm going to scream everyone's ears out."
"That could work."
(A while later)
-Southern part of the village-
Hyohime and Martin crawled on a small trench near the village while using the dry dirt to try and cover their scent. All the while weretigers were busy with ritual cremation for their dead which made them a little guilty for the crocodile plan.
Martin gestured for her to stop while he slowly peaked up a little.
"What do you see?"
"Just the villagers mourning for their dead. And trust me, it's not a good sight."
She nodded as Martin moved back down. "Just how are we getting in? I mean it's not like a small tunnel is close by."
They crawled down a little more before seeing a small tunnel entrance just below them. They slowly moved down into it and started heading down.
Inside was a cramped tunnel with Hindu symbols on the sides. And a few rats as well, since that are sacred in his part of the world. But then they got closer and closer to a light at the end of it.
"We're almost there."
"I hope." Hyohime said while noticing Martin's butt was a little well toned. 'Ah! No no no I'm no ero!'
They then made it into a temple room with a copper statue of Shiva in the center of the room.
"Are you sure this will work?"
"I hope so." Martin said before lighting some incense and started to pray to the Hindu god of destruction and rebirth.
'He knows Hindu? I'm actually shocked….wait does the Center even have a language class, they didn't mention.'
'Come on, work!'
Just then the statue's eyes glowed as the ground started to shake.
(Up above)
The villagers started to scream and cry out as their animal like forms started to be ripped apart as their skin started to reveal ancient bones that started to fall to the ground and turn to dust. The buildings started to collapse as the morning sun started to turn it into a fine mist. The bodies and buildings then vanished into the morning leaving only a large hole where the two half humans were and the statue of Shiva which seemed to not age or rust from the ordeal.
"What…..happened?" asked Hyohime in shock.
"I...I think Shiva destroyed them and remade the area around us." He said while in equal shock. "But how...just how….?"
The statue's eyes stopped glowing as everything went silent except for the sounds of peacocks and elephants in the distance.
(Some time later)
The two of them sat on a rock while not saying a word while looking at some elephants passing by. Both were shocked and dazed since the night and morning and for them, it was something that would change them for good or for worse.
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
And it was affecting them in unique ways.
"Martin?"
"Yes Hyohime?" He asked while turning to her. "What is it?"
"Why do we do this?"
He looked down. "We just did what we were sent here to do."
"..." she looked down. "But we….killed people."
"I know….I know."
"Martin….." she said while hugging him. "I don't know what to do!"
He didn't expect that and just lightly patted her back. "Same here."
They were like this for a few more minutes until a Center helicopter appeared overhead. They separated and saw it descend with some Center workers getting out.
"Good work agent Martin, apprentice agent Hyohime." Mom said while walking out as some workers started to put the Shiva statue on a floating table.
"What the kuso did you send us you baka teme!?" Hyohime growled. "Do you have any idea what we had to see?"
"Yes, however it was also a test."
"A test?"
"For Martin. It's a test so he can become a Delta Agent, the third highest rank in the Center." She said. "And while you passed, I apologize for the mental trauma given to you both."
"Test? This thing….was a fucking test!" he snapped marching over and grabbing her by the front of her suit. "We saw them die! Every single one of them are dead!"
"I understand but," She said while giving him a stern glare. "you are a Center agent, seeing such things is expected when you grow and advance in the ranks. It's your duty not only to stop supernatural and extraterrestrial threats but also to kill in extreme cases. Think, if we coddle every agent like I did to you for the last few years then they would have died on their real missions. You may have had experiences with near death experiences but this is the real deal and I expect you to be a man about it and use this to strengthen your resolve." she turned and walked to the helicopter. "Now are you gonna come along or try hiking back home?"
They stood there for a few seconds before following behind her.
"I'll tell you more about your duties as a Delta Agent when we get back."
Martin nodded while feeling like everything he did was all for not.
"But I also expect you both to learn from this, I was like you when I was first starting out. I was tasked to stop a zombie invasion in Germany and I did things that most would find unsavory.
