Once she was calm and ready, Heller stood up along with Susana. While the kid still gave her an hesitant look, he didn't cared about that as he walked forward. A few steps before he looked back when he noticed she stayed at her spot.

"Oi." He called out, "You just gonna stand there or something? Come on. I can get you to a safe place or find your parents." He nodded at the exit. It took a few seconds but Susan finally accepted it and decided to follow her savior.

"Good. Now, kid. As I said earlier, I am in need of answers." He said as they walked past the corpse of their would-be assailant earlier.=

Susana gave the dead body a grim and disgusted look as passed by it. She could only try to look away at the holes that pierced through the succubus' beautiful skin as a bloody puddle formed under her.

"Hey." A stern voice broke her morbid curiosity as the man wearing foreign armor(?) called her out. "Don't look at her. Just let it pass." He said as he stopped beside her to pat her back, pushing her forward that it almost made her stumble forward.

"Ow. Hey! That hurt!" She chided as she glared at him. Heller simply responded with a shrug and ignored her death stare.

They finally reached the end that only did he became serious. He raised a hand to Susan to stop her and when she was about speak, Heller raised his mask to his face and gave her a meaningful look with his serious expression coupled with the skull face that immediately shut down any words from her.

He raised his left index finger to his mouth in 'Stay silent' gesture that Susana followed.

Heller nodded, appreciating that the kid was now willing to stay silent, and spoke, "Okay, kid. Make sure you follow what I say, okay? If we have to get out of this hell hole, you gotta stick to me since I'm your current guardian until I can find your parents. Also, you have to act as my tour guide because I am not familiar with this city so you have to lead me back to gate near here so my... friends can help us. Capiche?"

He mentally praised the lord when Susan meekly nodded. No doubt intimidated, but he didn't cared.

"Good. Anyway, just get ready to hide somewhere near if we encounter any more of what attacked this pla—"

"They're the Mamono."

Heller looked at Susan with a confused look before he slowly nodded. "O...kay? I guess that's what you call her in you language. Fine, sure." He simply wave his hand before he turned back and peaked out of the corner of the alleyways with gun at the ready for any surprise.

When there were none, Heller looked back to Susan. "Everything is clear. Come on. Let's also play 21 questions while we're at it."

The Little Girl simply looked confused before her eyes widened in surprise when she noticed where Heller was heading.

"Wait! Where are you going?!" She asked as Heller simply gave her a weird look.

"Uhhh... Going to where I came from, if I can still remember it, I guess?"

"No! You can't go to there! That's where most of the Mamono came from! We must go to the otherside where the other people are!" She responded with urgency.

"What? But come on! It's more safer there and if I'm right, most of the fighting could be in center. I can't protect you if I have to fight in a damn war zone." He retorted.

"But there's an army of Mamono that is on their way through the same gate! Didn't you heard what the Knights said earlier?

Heller froze at her answer. His blood turned cold as he looked at Susan with a surprised expression

'Oh shit... I fucking left the Tigr in the forest.' He thought but atleast his heart didn't pound heavily when he thought about it.

Before he actually left, he came back and went inside the APC to pull out a large tarp with synthetic leaves and grass on it. It was large enough to drape the entire
Tigr and camouflage it, so he was not worried about the vehicle getting caught.

No. His mind was going overdrive on how to come back to the vehicle without being caught by fucking monsters or some bullshittery this world wants to give to him.

And if he didn't respond back to Anne and the others back home in time..

Oh god... He didn't even want to imagine it.

'Definitely should've brought the ARES...' He trailed off in annoyance before he focused and saw Susana looking at him, waiting for a response.

"Hell's bells..." He cursed silently before he sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose , "Fine. We'll do it your way, kid. Maybe my friends could wait ." He agreed, not liking how the little girl looked slightly smug before she nodded and pointed to the other direction, where more market stalls lay in chaos.

That, and he couldn't afford to waste time arguing with a kid in this silent Hell.

"Okay! Come on. I'm sure my parents are worried sick about me."Heller nodded and went first while Susan followed from behind near him.

'Dammit. This is just going to complicate things.' He could only sigh in exasperation as he prepped his smg while they escorted each other out.

He just hope he can get out and avoid attracting any unwanted attention to him if they reach the safe zone.

Yet, his instincts was telling him that the real shit hasn't even started.

Despite he was in a fantasy setting, Heller ignored them in favor of scanning the environment and watching for any threats that can appear. His eyes roamed over the tell-tale signs of destruction, stampede, panic and chaos all over the place along with discarded or broken weapons and armor.

The two walked in silence for some time with Susana pointing out directions was their only noise. They watched their footing as they avoided to step or their foot to hit something lest something attracts it.

'Atleast the kid is good at the art of Noise Discipline' He thought before he decided to break the silence.

"Alright, kid. Time to play 21 questions. Just answer what I ask but try to keep quiet, okay?" Heller said quietly as they rounded a corner and passed through a small road where they stayed near the shadows.

Susana looked at him as soon as he spoke and nodded.

"Good. First question, Where are your parents and how the hell did you ended here?"

"My... parents were with me that time and we were escaping along with Miss Rona. Knights and the militia were ordering everyone to get in to the carts to escape." Her expression became sad when she paused before she continued. "I got separated to my mother and father during the panic but these two knights, Marco and Miya, helped when they found me and led me to a carriage that had other kids in it... except..." She choked as her memories before she controlled her sobbing as Heller worriedly patted her back.

"Except that there were already mamono waiting for us inside the carriage. They ambushed the two and the other nearby knights and militiamen while I barely escaped."

"Jesus... I'm sorry to hear that." Heller responded, "And I guess when you were running, that bitch back there found you?"

Susana simply nodded.

Heller winced, feeling like an asshole for asking that first question but quickly rectified it.
"Well, don't worry. There's no doubt your parents are safe and are waiting for you at the safe zone." He reassured. He sighed in relief when Susana smiled.

"Nice to see 'ya back in spirits, kid. I'm sorry for asking that kind of question."

He took a deep breath and thought what his next question be without triggering any bad memories.

"Those Mamono... What exactly are they?"

The girl looked up in thought, now away from any dejecting thoughts, as she tried to answer his question.

"I... I don't know actually... My family lived inside the walls of Amity for so long that we didn't know what they truly are except what the Priest says or what I hear from other hearsays from those who came from war campaigns or skirmishes." She answered after they turned away from a dead end.

"Priest, huh?" Heller muttered, shaking his head in amusement.
'Considering I am in the middle ages, Christianity or whatever religion these people have is no doubt at its peak. Do I even want to ask how her priest describes the Mamono?'

He gave it a second thought before he decided against it, not wanting to hear any religious nut head using their fanatical views for description so he went straight to conclusion.

Especially now that he remembered he was in some fantasy world.

"Well, they're monsters that want to eat humanity and all that jazz, no doubt. I guess that's pretty obvious." Heller said as he peaked around a corner.

"Well... I guess that's the short version of what the local priest says." She scrunched her face in thought. "What's jazz?"

Heller turned to her and laughed softly. "No need for you to ask something like that. Come on, tell me which way we're heading."

Susana simply let it slide before she pointed to the alleyway on their right as they went between two buildings with tattered signs and brokens windows on their exteriors.
"I think that's where the main district is. Sire Marco said earlier that we we're heading earlier when I asked where my parents are."
"You think?" Heller deadpanned.

"Hey! I was running with a demon chasing me! That and I usually stay inside the house with my mom since she hates the priest." Susana retorted.

Heller rolled his eyes as he peaked around a corner and checked for any threats. There were none.

He signaled her to follow and they walked through in silence.

'This place is called Amity. Although if everyone is evacuating the city, I guess the name won't stay for too long with demons running around the place.'

Then he stopped.

Susana almost bumped on his back and when she looked up at her escort to chide, she immediately went quiet as she looked around if anything caused Heller to stop.
"Uh... Hey. Heller? Is there something wrong?"

"It's too quiet..."

She must have heard something from him but not enough. "What did tou just say? Hey."

Heller turned to her and she saw how serious his eyes are that she froze when she grabbed her shoulders and turned her nack to the direction they were walking earlier.
"Eh? Heller?"

"Double time, kid. There's something wrong with this place. Go go go." He started to firmly push her that Susana had to walk briskly, unable to say anything.

But she did, anyway. "Why? We're so near! My parents are waiting for me! We can't just go ba—mmmpff!"

She was cut off when Heller covered her mouth with his left hand as he looked in all directions.

"Stay quiet, Susan. We've been walking for minutes and not once did we heard something. We're just getting into a another trap or better, we're lost because you're wrong with directions."

Susan managed to remove the gloved hand from her mouth after she shook her head. She did spoke as quietly as possible.

"What do you mean? Isn't that a good thing, right? There's no mamono chasing us and we don't have to worry about getting eaten. Don't act like my uncle when he came back from a War Campaigm last week. It... creeps me out." She trailed off as Heller gave her a meaningful look.

"Kid... It ain't paranoia if you know something out there wants to kill you. That, and can't you understand? You told me that the mamono attacked you earlier and with all honesty, you haven't ran off for too far. What I'm implying is there should be SOMETHING that we could've heard or seen. Like... from someone! Or atleast some fighting but it's been so quiet to it's deafening."

Susana, despite being young, knew what he was saying and immediately noted their surroundings.

He was right. Why was it so quiet? She could still remember when she was running away how she can hear the mamono and the soldiers fighting. Even a few minutes before she got cornered by that succubus!

And if she was right about her directions, The Main District should be filled with people and their noise.

Not with... nothingness and silence.

There should be someone there! Did she actually got her directions wrong?

Heller, now seeing her realization, was about to tap her shoulder and walk a different way.

Only to be hit by something akin to a speeding baseball to his back.

"Gah! Fuck!" He cursed as he was almost knocked back by the projectile that struck his riot suit and felt it wedge between the materials of the armors. It almost hit the scabbard of his Marlin, too.

While the armor prevented it from hitting striking flesh, he was sure as hell he'll feel sore once his adrenaline wears off.

He felt pain before it turned into a dull and numb feeling before he felt rage fueling his body.
He immediately turned around and fired a burst from his smg to the exit of the Alleyway, dropping two figures that were no doubt enemies. One was holding a bow while the other had a crude looking axe.

"Goddamn fucking assholes!" Heller howled as he pulled out the invading projectile, it was a fucking arrow!, and broke it in half.

"He—Heller! Are you—!" She didn't managed to speak properly as her ears were ringing from the loud noise when she movement caught her eyes at the end of the alley. Her breath hitched in fear when she recognized the crude and indecent armor the two were wearing and their chubby but curby bodies along with their face and ears that looked like pigs.

Even Heller noticed them during his near-rage haze when they came rounding a corner, no doubt investigating the noise from his gun.

They weren't human, even if they looked hot. That was more than enough.

"What was—!" The first to appear froze in shock when she saw two of her orc sisters lying dead on the floor as her friend followed beside her.

"What happened, Hil—" She never managed to hear what she said as a series of sharp cracks in the air for a split second before her friend's body jerked from being struck by something as blood came out from their holes.

Those loud cracks almost deafened her before she soon followed her friend, kneeling to the ground in pain, as foreign objects penetrated her and she could only gasp and writhe in pain as she grabbed at her bloody torso.

She could only give one last pained look at the man at the end of the alley, who was now aiming a flintlock of some sort at her, before everything went dark.

Heller watched as what could be some pig woman's head jerked back as the .357 round hit her forehead. He holstered his revolver before he ejected the spent magazine of his smg and loaded one quickly before he turned back to Susana.

He could only watch as she was grabbing both of her, her expression no doubt saying she was in pain.

But he simply grabbed her shoulders and tried to call her out.
"Susan! Kid! Hey!" He shook her until she focused her eyes on him, "Can you hear me? Is the ringing too loud? Come on, Kid!"

"W—Wait! Hey! I.." She winced as she grabbed her ear, "I'm fine! It just really hurts so much." Tears watered her eyes as she grabbed both ears and shook her head in vain effort to remove the pain until she felt Heller grabbing her shoulders and begun guiding her through were they came from

"I got you, kid. We have to go, now! There's no doubt they got someone ne—!"

"Hilda! Origa!"

A shrill and terrified voice sounded from behind and Heller's instincs immediately went to work as he began to guide Susana and got out from the alleyway as the two started to run in some random direction.

"Get going, kid! Hurry!" Heller ordered as the two picked up their pace, although Heller was forced to slow down to run beside Susana.

A loud noise from someone blowing a horn almost made them stop their tracks but they kept going only for the noise to multiply until it was heard from all other directions.

'Some of them sounded near. Oh god...' Heller grimly thought as Susana began leading her to a different place once she slightly recovered from the deafening.

"I know this place! There's another way we can get through the main plaza without being seen if we go through here!" She called out as they ran through the road.

"You should've fucking told me that earlier, Kid!" Heller responded, as he looked back to see any pursuers.

"I'm so— Heller! Watch out!" Susuan warned as He instinctively stopped and looked at what caused her to do so.

Oh, he wish he hadn't.

Blocking their way were the definition of the word Amazonians, with tribal clothing, chiseled bodies, large heights and ebony skin. If there was another time, Heller would've tried his luck but it looks like that was a fleeting dream as he watched the burning gazes of the five amazonians as they wielded their own primitive weapons ranging from 2 spearmen with shields, 2 with large crude axes and one who has large sword. No doubt it was the leader.

But what's with the tail and horn? Is this the mamono Susana was talking about?

Then again, if his history lessons were right, the amazonians back then were truly brutal and savage. That, and there's no doubt they were being surrounded.

"Ladies! While I do appreciate hot beauties like you waiting for us, My escort and I are quite in a hurry. So if you don't mind..." Ther Mercenary and the Little Girl started to take a few steps back only for the amazonians to smile coyly as they too followed.

"Quite the predicament you have here, traveller." The lead amazonian spoke, her white ashen hair was tied in a braid as she raised her sword. "But do not worry. Come with us quietly and I will assure you safe passage..." She smiled huskily as Heller tensed and put a hand over Susana to cover her.

"...to our tribe."

'Fuck... We're cornered and I could already hear Jontron screaming at my head...'
He immediately steeled himself as he aimed his smg at the lead amazonian and fired, who could widen her eyes at what he was doing until it was too late.

She jerked back as the .45 acp rounds slammed into her and that was when Heller brutally learned that he was inadequately equipped.

It hit her and made her bleed, alright. But she was still very much painfully alive before a spearman went and guarded her by raising her shield.

Whatever that thing was made off managed to hold back the weak rounds until Heller switched targets and made sure this time to aim for the head.

A few round bursts and one spearman and axe woman dropped as the rounds struck their faces and they fell to the ground.

He could hear their lead painfully calling out their names so he took this chance to grab Susana away and turn back only for more of those pig woman came rounding the corner and found them.

He didn't hesitated. He materialized a High Explosive grenade and threw it at them as they neared them before Heller grabbed Susan and blocked her view.

A blast sounded and the shriek of the pig woman invaded his ears before he grabbed Susan's hand and ran to an alleyway instead of going through the pig women's mutilated bodies with a pair of amazonians chasing them.

"Get going, Kid! Hurry!" Heller shouted as he held on to Susan's hand and they kept running as the rushing footsteps of the amazonians were starting to near them as they went through the maze work.

'Holy fuck! They are fast!" Heller thought, alarmed when he turned back for a split second and saw their weapons peaking out of the corner.

In his haste, he didn't notice the dead bodies of pig women that he killed earlier until he exited the alley,

Only to be tackled by something akin to a linebacker with breasts and wearing bikini armor from out of the corner of the alley.
He could hear Susana yelp as she too fell to the ground as soon as he was tackled, no doubt not expecting the surpise.

Heller's smg clattered away from him as he used both hands to barely hold back a beautiful pig woman trying to grab of his face and to make it more worse, he could hear the amazonians slowly closing on them.

"I smelled you..." The pig woman breathed huskily to Heller's face as she straddled him. She was slowly overpowering him with her brute strength that his prosthetic arm was even struggling to hold her back.

Heller, in one last bout of strength, managed to push her back only to grab her boob with his left hand. The pig woman giggled ecstatically as she closed her eyes at the sensation.

Only to feel the cold barrel of Heller's assault revolver at her chin.

Heller squeezed the trigger, and blood and brain matter spurted out from the pig woman head as the .357 blasted her point blank. Her body smothered him but he managed to push her off of him and stand up quickly as he used both hands to aim at the alleyway where he saw the two rushing amazonians.

He squeezed off 1 precise shots for the axe woman, 3 for the spearwoman when she raised her shield that Heller fired at her unguarded legs, making her trip, then shot her head.
He fired the last two rounds for each amazonian as a double-tap to ensure their death.

Heller ejected the spent rounds from his revolver and materialized an 8-shot moonclip rounds and loaded it into the revolver before turning to Susana, who was breathing heavily from the exhaustion of running.

But why was she not looking at him?

"Quite an interesting show you did there, stranger. But... I do not appreciate how you killed my cute subordinates with that interesting contraption of yours."

A seductive and tempting voice sternly said as Heller whirled around and aimed his revolver and fired with no hesitation.

He didn't cared until three bullets stopped a few inches from a blue-skinned beauty with horns and tail by some invisible force that only did he cared and picked up his APC and fired a burst quickly.

It was stopped once again that Heller stopped shooting, as the demonness gave her a hot yet grim look as the invisible force disappeared that let the bullets drop to the cobblestone road.

"That... is quite the rude introduction, good sir." She remarked as Heller unlatched the magazine and placed it on his back, away from the woman's view, and stored it before materializing a new fresh one and quickly loaded it. The blue-skinned woman simply looked with interest before she spoke once again.

"Truly, I didn't expect a man wondering around this parts. I didn't even sensed your spirit energy and now that you are here..." Her face scrunched up in confusion.

'Spirit energy? Da fuq? Is she talking about my soul?' Heller thought before he snapped back at her. "Sorry, bitch. But I ain't telling you shit until you let me pass with my kid here." He gestured at the frozen Susana, who immediately jerked up in fear when the woman's gaze lingered over her.

She coyly smiled as he regarded Heller, "And pray do tell why I should do such a thing? Do you intend to use your body as a bargaining tool, foreigner?" She travelled a hand over her slim hips to her stomach and to her large breasts that Heller felt his skin crawl at some sensation he felt.

"What the fuck are you saying? Like hell I'm gonna sell my soul to some random thundercunt like you." Heller harshly remarked as he gripped his smg tight.

The woman simply frowned at his wording she smiled with a hidden edge as she extended a hand to her side regarding...

"Oh fuck my ass..." Heller trailed off as more amazonians and pig women came out from their hiding spot behind buildings as more... monster girls accompanied them?

There were 8 pig women, 6 amazonians, 4 wimen with gree lizard skin and two with green-skinned women standing 2 meters taller than any person Heller met.

Heller simply froze as he regarded the hot and beautiful beings that surpassed any beauty from Earth while Susana whimpered in fear beside him as she watched the monster girls regard them hungrily.

'What the fuck... Why are they all girls?! And why do they resemble that one show Aliez watch— No... don't tell me..'

It was official. If he gets out of this hell hole alive with his sanity intact, he was going on a rampage back in Earth for sending him to the world of fucking Anime!

"Goddamn you Aliez! Goddamn you Japan! And goddamn you America for bombing Japan!" He shouted to the skies as every single being in the vicinity watched him in surprise as he spouted random words.

Susana could only jerk back when Heller's furious expression regarded her and she could only stand up when he howled at her.

"Get fucking going, Kid!" He saw his left hand going to his back, and it came out holding some small canister with a pin. She saw him biting the pin harshly through the bandana he was wearing and pulled back before he threw it at the Demon.

The succubus simply raised her hand as the small object froze mid-air, a few feet from her face before she sourly regarded Heller.

Only to see him raising a middle finger at her before her entire world turned white as her ears ringed loudly from the flashbang Heller threw.

But those sensations were drowned out by the foreign objects that embedded through out her entire body as she screamed in pain and began lashing out with magic before another metal struck her throat.

Still blinded, she choked out blood as she tried to grab her bleeding neck as she slowly dropped to the ground, dying.

Heller furiously switched to the group of monster girls and fired the remaining 11 rounds as they scrambled from all directions to dodge the barrage while the two
large women crossed their arms and held their grounds as the pistol rounds simply bounced from their skin.

Heller regarded the frozen Susana and grabbed her shoulder before he harshly pushed her to the other side of the plaza.

"Go, Kid! I'll hold them off! Go and see your family! Now!" He screamed, causing the little girl to scramble in fear and follow what he said as she ran as fast as her legs can.

She managed to get a head start before two amazonians took chase after her.

"You fucking assholes!" Heller howled to Susana's hunters before he had to dash to the side as a spear almost struck his chest.

He watched as the group of monster girls started to come after him with their inhuman speed.
He simply rolled his neck as he prepared himself and cracked the knuckles of his left hand before he clasped his smg back to its harness and grab his revolver with his right hand.
He threw it to his left hand then used his right hand to grab his Condor Bolo Machete and unsheathe the blade.

With Blade and Shot at his right and left hand, he aimed his revolver at the charging Mamono and roared.

"Everyone Pays!"
