I know the fight scenes can be short at times; I'm really not good at detailing them.
The Price of Victory
Chapter 1: Vampires VS Aliens?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As Natsuki accompanied Hikawa and Chiaki, she kept her eye around the city streets, anticipating any aliens that dare to attack them. Since it was dark out, she also had to be wary about seeing anything in the sky, for if it was a mother ship with cages, they had to escape and hide.
"I still don't get why you're helping me out." she told them.
"Hikawa told me that the aliens are scared of capturing vampires. They were simply worried that they wouldn't taste...good." the long-haired woman replied.
"In fact, a fellow vampire was accidentally brought into the mother ship, and the liquids didn't dissolve his clothes or anything, and he ended up escaping." the male vampire added.
"That's crazy..." Natsuki said with bewildered eyes.
Eventually, they reached a street corner where they found a few surviving soldiers attempting to take out a group of aliens. From the looks of it, the aliens looked rather...odd, almost like humanoids, much like the one that Tomoko took on, the same one that tried to sexually assault her, but failed.
"Hey, you!" one soldier called out. "We need some help out here! The three of us just aren't good to enough to take out six of these punks! We don't even have enough ammo to mow 'em down!"
This caused the short-haired girl to raise an eyebrow, before immediately rushing over to them. "I'm on it!" she replied, taking out her X Gun and firing a few shots at one of the aliens.
Since she began taking out aliens, her shooting skills were sluggish and poor at best, but she had now begun to get the hang of it. She's wasn't perfect at sharpshooting, but she was clearly redeeming herself.
However, another alien attacked her, giving her a few blows to the chest and head before Hikawa showed up and stabbed him in the stomach, making the save for the girl. He also sliced at least two of the aliens in half, even decapitating one of them in the process.
Chiaki, on the other hand, snuck up on the fourth alien from behind, and slashed at him a few times before stabbing him in the groin. This gave the soldiers to take out the last of the aliens, before the humans obtained victory...at least for now.
The soldiers were about to congratulate them when they took notice of Hikawa and Chiaki, and were immensely befuddled.
"Hey, kid...are you friends with these...things?" the leader asked.
"They're vampires...and no, I'm just an acquaintance with them." Natsuki replied.
"Vampires?!" the leader asked, his jaw hanging wide in shock, before he and his equally surprised crew ran off out of pure shock.
"I get the fact that the humans don't want vampires joining them in taking out aliens." the short-haired girl told them.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they'll warm up to us." Hikawa replied.
Natsuki shrugged, before asking, "Speaking of which, maybe I could introduce you guys to my friend Tomoko. She's been living underground with her family and mine since the Katastrophe started. What do you think?"
The man in the suit looked over at Chiaki, before his eyes went over to the human and replied, "Just the girl. If you brought her family along, they will immediately be frightened of us."
"Fair enough." she said, nodding her approval.
The trio would then travel back to the doors leading to the underground facilities / shelters when Natsuki felt something strange, stopping in her tracks to see what was the matter.
"That's funny...what's going on?" she asked.
Noticing herself imploding, this caused Hikawa and Chiaki to notice, confused as to what happened to the short-haired girl. Of course, what Natsuki didn't know was that she was summoned by Nerdo in order to meet up with him and his allies...

Up next, Natsuki finds herself with her fellow Gantz fighters.
