Chapter 2: Welcome to the Jungle
By the time Atsuko was steady enough to stand the battle was already over, leaving behind a sea of blue and red: blue, the uniforms of the dead Rakyat warriors and red, the blood. Atsuko felt a mixture of sickness and pride. These men lying on the floor were the descendants of her grandfather's murderer. Vaas however was plain angry. Atsuko rolled her eyes as he yelled and swore repeatedly behind her, annoyed for missing the fight.
The swearing continued as they were all bustled into a small truck, Atsuko directly opposite Vaas with some unknown pirates filling the gaps; it was one of the most uncomfortable moments of Atsuko's life, wedged for hours between sweaty angry looking men lightly splashed in blood, as they quickly sped over large cobbles causing the truck to incessantly jolt. In spite of this as they neared they're destination Atsuko felt excited. Amanaki outpost: where her grandfather mentioned in all those dusty old letters she would so happily sit and read as a small child, careful to avoid ruining the delicate worn paper. It looked as beautiful as her grandfather had occasionally described.
"Oi Hermana, what the fuck are you smiling at?" Vaas' shouts broke her out of her happy thoughts and she jumped slightly.
"Of course I'm smiling. I'm closer than ever…" She said staring past him her voice trailing off quietly, she didn't feel like explaining all about her life to a stranger. Especially a stranger with a gun and most likely some personality disorder like Vaas. She looked around and saw most of them men looking at with a sickening lecherous look, she got the impression they didn't work with females much.
The truck suddenly stopped making them all lurch forward, and they piled out of the truck into a dusty outpost with a rundown building and some shelters with canvas covering scattered around it. She was honestly pretty surprised at how low security it was. All the men set about reloading ammo and treating their wounds, it made her grimace how dirty the bandages they used were but decided it wasn't her place to lecture them. She cautiously walked over to Vaas who was crouched down facing away from her. "So what do we do here?" she murmurs nervously, he seemed on edge, muttering and spitting on the dirt, The last thing she wanted was to be shot dead when she was maybe metres away from his grandfather's great secret.
It took him a while to reply, he started chuckling amused at first, then angry.
"You think you're one of us now huh? You're lucky you don't have a fucking bullet in your brain now!" he shouted, shoving a handgun aggressively into her head for emphasis. She stood shakily but tried not to flinch, she was done with looking weak in front of him. He wrapped his finger around the trigger, slowly pulling it. Atsuko just stared back, a mix of fear and confusion evident on her face, with beads of sweat slowly dripping down her face.
"Bang!" he shouted, bursting into laughter. Atsuko sighed in relief, it seemed logical that he wouldn't really kill her, yet anyway, but when his insane feral eyes bored into hers all sense of logic was gone and instead she felt pure dread.
"You're good Hermana, others cry like a little pussy, but you… You're different." He smiled with approval.
Apparently her powers of acting were better than she thought. "You want to help? Go have fun, if you don't make it back I'll know you're the waste of space I think you are. Now fuck off." He smirked heading off to the outpost main building.
