CHAPTER 4: The Meeting Again
"HEEEEEEYYY! COME DOWN FOR DINNER YOU SHITTY FUCKERS!" yelled the Strongest who just also happens to be the Second in Command to the Varia Clan.
"~~~But Squ~~~You killed our chef yesterday." That was Lussuria, the gay (Literally!) one of the Varia, who loved pink frills, heavy perfume, Gothic dresses etc. "You know, for making a seafood based dinner."
"WHAT? WHEN DID I DO THAT? TCH! FINE, CALL THE MAIDS TO COOK THE FOOD!"
"You fired them all for not washing the blood stain of your clothes." stated Mammon, the genius illusionist of the Varia calmly, as he walked in and sat down at the table. He was among the Legendary Arcobaleno, called Viper but within the Mafia Network, he was known as Mammon.
"Shishishsi..." snickered the sadistic prince, in that same Cheshire cat smile, hidden with the various tricks and secrets."The Prince is hungry...get me food damn peasants." Behind Mammon was Belphagor. The sadistic, evil 16 year old prince who murdered his own older twin brother just because he hated his brothers guts.
"VOOIII! MAKE YOUR OWN DAMN FOOD! 'SIDES WE'LL JUST HAVE THE SHITTY GARDENERS COOK FOR US..."
"Yeah not going to work." Levi, the oldest and the most disgustingly loyal to Xanxus, sucking up to him every chance he got. "The Boss felt bored yesterday so he used them as target practices. He was so wonderful, as expected of the Boss."
"SO WE HAVE NO ONE! DAMN THAT FUCKING BOSS! I OUTTA STICK SOMETHING DOWN HIS THROAT-"
"No." Flan, the newest and the youngest 10 year old member entered. "The workers are so scared of everyone's ugly faces; they'd rather die than serve you." Knives whipped passed and hit Flan squarely in his back. "Ow~~. Bel-senpai, that hurts. Please don't hurt me." stated Flan, monotonously with no hint of fear, pain or emotion evident in his singing voice. How he is even alive after the stab, I do not know people. Actually, I lie, I do. He has a genetic deficiency where he feels no pain, apparently.
"Shishishi...Your hat was annoying me."
"But you gave it to me. Sempai."
"Shut it!" Another round of small knives flew at Flan, again stabbing Flan in the back.
"Owww."
"VOIIII! WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE GONNA DO THEN?" Suddenly, a glass of champagne from who knows where came flying and hit Squalo square in his head. "WOULD YOU STOP IT WITH THE FLYING ALCOHOL ALREADY!?" accused Squalo as he turned around to see Xanxus already seated at the Head of the table.
"SHUT IT...SCUM." Lusuria had to personally hold back Squalo and his continuous stream of insults, curses and swearing Squalo kept repeating.
So, Xanxus wasn't in a good mood. Actually, in his case, his mood was 10x worse than his usual bad mood. Ever since Nono's visit, the day itself seemed to piss him off.
"So...what the hell do you want old- bastard?" inquired Xanxus, in his usually pissed off mood
Smiling at his son's typical reaction the 9th answered, "I'm getting you a maid."
Xanxus raised his eyebrows, not a mission, not a war, not an emergency-take-out-Sawada-Tsunayoshi plan, but only the news of a maid.
Oh joy. Somebody hit him across the face.
"I decide the people who work for me. No maid of yours works here. If that's all get up and get lost." Oh god! He still had a hangover from last night.
On cue, Xanxus got up, ready to fetch himself another shot of Tequila to calm the rage in him. Really, seeing the oh-so-happy face of the damn old man first thing in the morning was driving him nuts. In Xanxus language, nuts meant pissed.
"Xanxus. This was not my decision. It was Marina's." Xanxus eyes widened in surprise at the name. "You know I can't refuse her."
Xanxus was again, literally on fire. There were only a few people who could do that to him. A) the Stupid Onna who had dared harm his perfect facial complexion some months ago at the Battle for the Rings and B) His Shitty older Sister who had abandoned him, for some jackass she had met.
Completely soaked his Storm/ Sky Flames, the Varia Boss released a wave of his infamous Flames of Wrath onto the Vongola 9th's personal protection squad.
Glaring with the power of a god, Xanxus snarled, "Don't fuckin' mention her ever again. And don't you dare...DON'T YOU DARE LET THAT MAID IN HERE!"
Yeah the Boss was mad. I mean who wouldn't be? He had considered Marina as his own sister, the one person in the world who could understand him. He had felt completely betrayed when she ran away, leaving him all alone again with no one. Once again people simply just left him.
Timotheo calmly looked at Xanxus, ignoring the massive hole and injured people behind him. All traces of kindness gone and Xanxus slightly paused, taken back by the Nono's incredible pressure.
Slowly, Nono got up and walked to the door.
"She's my granddaughter, even if you are my son, if she is to come to any harm, you'll see a very new side of me Xanxus."
'Like fuck I care about your damn warning. Tch. Shitty bastard.' Thought Xanxus as he strode into the dining room, taking a seat right at the head.
Instantaneously, the Varia quietened down and took their respective seats surrounding the table.
Suddenly, Lusuria's highly trained ears perked up. "Hmnnn…."
Noticing Lusuria's tone of worry, Squalo spoke up, "What is it, trash?"
"Hmnnnn, well…..I've been hearing rather ….loud and ….vulgar noises coming from outside."
"Now that you mention it…." Began Squalo as he heard distant sounds of screaming and explosions
"Shishishi…the Prince had been bored lately….shishishi…"
"You're always bored, Bel-sempai…."
Levi stood up so abruptly, he knocked down his chair. "AN INTRUDER?"
"Sit down, you idiot. It's probably no one of importance." Insisted Mammon. "Besides who would have the courage to take all of us on by recklessly and idiotically charging in here of all places!"
"Uuuuuughh…." Levi begrudgingly sat back down. Damn. And he really wanted to show off to his Boss too.
"Hey, is it just me…." Began Squalo "…or are the screams getting louder…..and closer…."
"B-Boss…." Began Lusuria, sweating a bit now
"…." Was all Xanxus said as he yawned shortly after
Sighing at their Boss' reaction, the table inwardly groaned. They should have known. Their Boss would only do something like this if he was completely uninterested. Something he definitely was.
"Oi, Mammon?" Mammon peeked at the sadistic Prince, "Can't you use Thoughtograpy or something?"
"Hmph! Of course I would. But this is hardly a threat."
Bel smiled wider, and not in a good way. "Shishishi….What's this? The great Arcobaleno doesn't know does he? Shishishishi…"
That ticked him off.
Mammon fully turned towards Bel, "Don't be stupid. Idiots like you would never understand such complicated science anyway."
Bel popped a vein, "What did you say?" Shortly after, knives and illusions were seconds away from war.
Silently cursing again, Xanxus slammed the table and the bickering Varia members quieted down.
"The Outside Unit should have taken care of it by now." Noted Lusuria
"We should kill them all off, for lack in passion for their work." Suggested Levi
"What the shit are you saying?" said Squalo
Suddenly, a Varia Member burst in, slamming open the door. In that instant, the Varia Captains stood up ready for combat.
"VOOOIII! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON OUTSIDE?"
"S-sir! We have an intruder!"
"Shishsishi...What? Just one?" Bel sat back down. "Get lost, peasant! The Prince doesn't have time to deal with useless trash."
"B-but sir! This woma-" Poor Varia member never finished as a huge wrecking ball burst in through the dining room, shocking the Varia members.
That's right, readers. You read right.
A huge wrecking ball crashed through the very walls of the Varia mansion and protruded through everything, coming to an unforeseen stop inches from the dining table.
Xanxus momentarily looked, and then resumed ignoring whatever that had caused it.
Momments of silence followed.
"What a wild entrance." commented Flan
"No. that's really not the point here." Remarked Levi, calming down
Then all hell broke loose.
"GYAAAAA-HOLY SHIT! THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE? BOSS? ARE YOU OKAY?"
"VOOOOOOOIIIIII! DAMN THOSE FUCKING USELESS TRASH! WHAT ARE WE PAYING THEM FOR IF THEY CAN'T EVEN STOP THIS?"
"Looks like we have a break in."
"That stained glass window had cost a fortune." On the other hand, Mammon was fuming. Well, he was fuming despite looking calm.
"Ah!" The members looked up towards the sound. They looked up to see a girl jumping off the ball and landing with surprising reflexes.
Lussuria again snapped out of it as he broke the mood first, "I-Is that a girl?"
Squalo blinked, "Oi? Isn't that the girl that was with the trashy brats?"
"Shishishi….Decimo's sister we had a pleasure of meeting at the Succession Battle? I think so."
Xanxus looked up, an air of familiarity washing over him. 'That style….'
"Are people who crash into the fortified House of Operations to a top notch crime agency dealing in Underground Assassination and all elimination of Vongola enemy under radar…considered to be human?" finished Flan, as he nonchalantly sucked on a lollipop. Really, he could care less about this.
The girl stared at the Varia.
The Varia stared at the girl.
They were staring at each other in such shock, wonder and curiosity neither noticed the calamity of the situation at all!
"I..." began the girl, as she blinked still staring at the men before her
The Varia tensed, preparing for an attack. Of course, they are Assassin's before they were house hosts.
" ...I think I overdid it." She finished, in a very guilty tone
The Varia fell comically, "YOU REALIZE THAT NOW!"
"VOOI! WHO ARE YOU, YOU FUCKIN ONNA?"
The Onna in question bent down to pick up the hat that had flown off during her "wild entrance". Her relatively short dark orange hair reaching up just past her shoulders and her bright Emerald green eyes, was something to see. Don't get me wrong. Her hair was sticking up in all directions, her body covered in mud, scratches and remnants of the forest she had just recently bravely conquered. She wore a sports outfit, with a sports jacket and track pants rolled up to her knees.
"How rude! It's only common courtesy to introduce your selves before asking others for other people's names." She finished, triumphantly as she pointed at them, accusingly
Squalo twitched. "Fine!... I AM SUPERBIA SQUALO. SECOND IN COMMAND TO THE VONGOLA 9TH'S PERSONAL ASSASSINATION SQUAD!"
Girl stared, poker faced while crossing her arms, "That's nice."
The crew waited for a response, seconds turning into minutes.
Then, Squalo exploded, "INTRODUCE YOURSELF TOO!"
"Oh me?" The Girl grinned as she pointed to herself, other hand already on her hip, "I'm The Varia's New Maid. Yoroshiku!" Then, surprisingly she bowed in Japanese.
Squalo blinked along with Levi. Together they watched, and then replied together, "Oh, I see. The Varia's Personal Maid. That makes sense. Nice to meet you." Both Squalo and Levi politely bowed.
.
.
.
Crickets didn't even want to chirp anymore.
.
.
.
The Varia's jaw dropped.
"BLOODY HELL?" screamed Squalo clutching his head. What was he doing?
"Tch. You got completely dragged along to her pace." Admitted Levi, trying to save himself.
"What the shit are you saying trash? You went along with it too!"
Levi twitched, parabolas already in hand, "WHAT DID YOU SAY?"
"YOU GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT? SHIT FACE?"
And as Squalo and Levi fought it off, trying to save themselves from the embarrassment, Lusuria again asked the obvious question.
"But the Boss never told us about a new maid."
"Well isn't this interesting..."
"Tch. More annoying people around the Boss." Admitted Levi
Looks like his fight with the Commander was interrupted with a familiar throwing of the tequila by a certain Boss.
"Hmph. She looks like she doesn't even own a penny. "
Flan chose just that moment to intervene, "I'm hungry... " And Bel's knives hit Flan in the back, almost in beautiful harmony.
Squalo in turn, whirled around to meet the yawning face of Xanxus, "HEY YOU SHITTY BOSS! EXPLAIN THE HELL IS GOING ON?"
"By the way..." began the girl, earning everyone's attention
The Varia turned around.
" ...who are you guys?"
The Varia fell again.
"WE'RE THE VARIA DAMN IT!"
This time the Girl's face was etched in morbid shock. "EEEHHHHH! T-THEN..." She looks at Xanxus who was pointing a gun at her. "That black suit, ... t-those guns... you're..."
The Varia waited for the girl to finish; to see her quiver in fear.
"...XARU!" she finished proudly
The Varia fell while others faces paled or jaw dropped. No one mispronounces Xanxus' name. Xanxus exploded in a light of fury and ignited his X-Guns ready to blast the mongrel who dare mock His name.
Suddenly she laughed out loud, the Varia temporarily stunned. "Wow! What are the chances? I thought I'd be wandering in that forest forever. But I gotta say….." She gazed at each member. "You all have really weird hairstyles!" Again she laughed, wholeheartedly, not an inch of selfish intent in her.
Everyone, correction! Every Varia popped a number of veins. "You….."
"You! Too long!" She said pointing to Squalo. He jumped back startled…..almost!
"Too multicolored!" She points at Lusuria.
"Too ….uhh….pointy?"
Levi explodes, "ARE YOU MOCKING ME?"
"Too much!" She points at Bel, ignoring Levi.
"Too …mysterious!" She points at Mammon
Again, Levi explodes, "THAT'S NOT A GOOD ARGUMENT!" Maybe he had issues with his hair?
"Too ….. Oh! Cool hat! I like your hair!" The intruder flashed him a thumbs up.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Really, Squalo couldn't handle her anymore.
He took out his sword and pointed at her. "VOOOIIIII! I REMEMBER YOU! YOU'RE THAT SAWADA-TRASH'S SISTER-"
"SHUT UP!" Lilia silenced the loud shark, with a look of rage. Pointing, she clenched her fist by her side.
"DON'T CALL MY LITTLE BROTHER TRASH JERK!" Lilia yelled, out completely serious. "Who the hell do you think you are? I'll kick your ass." She claimed, calming down, anger still evident.
Xanxus' eyes widened in recognition. How could he forget? This was the same woman who had punched and humiliated him in front of all the Vongola. Those Emerald eyes burning in rage, cracking knuckles and the intense murderous aura she emitted was all the proof he needed.
"Kick my ass? I'm the man who's going to become the Greatest Swordsmen in the World and you think a fucking girly trash can take me?" Squalo laughed out loud. "Admit it! You're just showing off aren't you?"
"DON'T LAUGH!" yelled Lilia, comically furious. "I have a name! Lilia! Akamouto Lilia! If you're the man who's going to become the Greatest Swordsmen in the World, then I'm the woman who's going to become the Greatest Maid in the World!" Lilia yelled out proud, as she pointed to herself.
Staring in wonder at the proclamation, the Varia stood secretly contemplating.
Squalo didn't notice it. Nor did Lilia, as they were too busy bickering with each other. But the rest of the Varia did, and they flinched in realization.
Old scars were appearing on Xanxus face. He sat wordlessly paying no heed to the argument, as he had found no reason to do so before until now.
The previously heated argument between the elite Varia Commander and Lilia died down as they both realized the slightly hotter than usual temperature in the room.
With a sudden epiphany of a sort, Squalo instinctively turned around to meet Xanxus silently fuming like a volcano moments before its eruption except this was a human seated at the dining table.
"O-Oi…..B-Boss, what the fuck are you-?
Xanxus slowly retrieved his guns again, and he pointed them at the intruder, ready to finish her off. "Greatest Maid in the World? You won't live too long to accomplish that."
Lilia quivered under the intense glare and shear killing intent of the man now aiming to take her life. 'Calm down! I can do this! Maybe he still hasn't figured it out….'
"You're the shitty wench who humiliated me…..and destroyed my car….."
'HE TOTALLY FIGURED IT OUT!' she wailed inwardly. Then she blinked, confused "HOW DID YOU KNOW I DESTROYED YOU CAR?"
Without a word, he fired a shot, a shot Lilia only barely managed to dodge. As the smoke cleared and Lilia looked up to find Xanxus hovering over her with that exact gun, he smirked, "Instinct."
"….." Lilia looked up, eyes fearless still on the ground. "You're still that same idiot aren't you…..Xaru."
Popping more veins, he couldn't handle it anymore as he fired again except this time with both guns, "DIE!"
Thankfully, insanely enough she managed to dodge the bullet as she rolled backwards, with ease.
She stood up and faced Xanxus with a new found conviction. Xanxus equally stared back at her.
"You….Are you a fucking bug?" he asked genuinely irritated and curious
"ARE YOU MAKING FUN OF ME?"
"Why is it every time I try to kill you, you never die?"
She straightened up, shaking off the dirt, leaves and blood that had managed to stain her sports attire and hair from her Forest Adventure. Tilting her hat upwards, she smirked, "I've cheated death on several occasions. Old habits die hard they say."
"I really want to kill you now…" Xanxus wasn't even angry anymore. He was furious! So much so, the Varia were inwardly planning escape routes incase the castle got caught up in what was about to come.
She cracked her knuckles as she began walking up closer to Xanxus. Separating them was the destroyed floor of the dining room, debris everywhere.
Looking up, she grinned in pleasure, "Is that a challenge?"
Xanxus and Lilia were now facing each.
"Incredible. It's like the showdown between the 'Final Boss' and the 'Wild Beast'."
Squalo glanced sideways at the new spectator that had just joined them.
"What are you doing here? Second in Command of the Security Department, Cesario?"
"Why is it there is an intruder within Varia HQ?" Levi questioned, murderously
"Shishishi…..Have you betrayed us?" Flashing out his knives, Bel walked closer to the man in question
Cesario looked ahead, refusing to meet the eye of his superiors. After all, he had failed, yet funny thing was, he felt no regret.
"What happened out there?" questioned Mammon as he materialized in front of Cesario
Cesario closed his eyes. "….."
He thought back, to the incredible sight he had witnessed.
Lilia was happily skipping through the forest, promptly ignoring the scary noises, scuttling sounds, mysterious red eyes and eerie presences that surrounded her.
"What a lively forest." She thought out loud, as she placed her branch-turned walking stick on her shoulders.
Then grinning like a fool, she admits, "Maybe I'll join you guys. Yosh! Let's sing a song!"
A mysterious voice in the bushes surrounding the girl, shook, 'What the heck is she thinking? Lively? Singing?'
'S-Sir? Is that really an intruder?'
'Ahou! Don't let disguises fool you!'
'That's right! She may want us to think she's an idiot long enough for us to lower our guard and then kill us!'
'EHHHHH! NO WAY?'
'REALIZE THESE THINGS SOONER!'
'Shhh….She'll hear us. Besides don't be fooled no matter how much she acts like an idiot, understand, men?'
'Sir, yes, sir!'
Lilia drew in a huge breath to sing the first verse.
The men tensed.
"Ten idiots are jumping across a cliff! One fell down and broke his leg! And then, there was one!" she sang as she happily skipped along
'S-Sir….are you sure she's not just an idiot?'
'…..'
Lilia froze as she realized something. "Hold on!" she proclaimed out loud, startling the men hiding in the trees
'Shit! D-Did she figure it out?'
'Tch. Guess we have no choice. Charge men!'
"One doesn't come before ten!"
The men fell off the tree so hysterically mid way and completely exposed themselves. Popping a few veins, they all shot up and screamed with jaws, "YOU IDIOT! REALIZE THESE THINGS SOONER!"
"Ah!" The men blinked.
"Ah!" Lilia blinked.
"…." said the men
"…." Said Lilia
Lilia bowed in apology, "Sorry. I'll be careful."
"WHY ARE YOU APOLOGIZING?" they yelled comically, furious
"Well…." Lilia scratched her head, "Aren't you guy's teachers? You got mad at me for getting my numbers wrong, right?"
"YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT EVEN WITHOUT US TELLING YOU!"
'Sir! This person is an idiot! Let's take advantage of it!'
'Excellent thinking, Varia Lower Member Number 45-kun!' the Superior whispered to the other guy
"Yes, that's right! We are teachers!" exclaimed the Superior Officer as he merrily pushed up the fake glasses that popped up out of nowhere
"Alright then. See ya!" And with that, Lilia whirled around.
"YOU'RE LEAVING JUST LIKE THAT?" they screamed, pissed. They watch as she grinned and waved back.
"It was nice meeting you all. I hope to meet you all again! Ja na! Sensei-tachi!"
The men were taken back. "Hey? That was the first time…."
"And intruder had ever said that."
"S-She wants to meet us again? Stupid! Don't fall for her tricks!"
"But Sir!"
"We are Varia's Strongest Security Force. Our job is to erase unnecessary existences that stand between Varia's victories. We guard the Forest and our Boss' lives! We don't have time to play around."
The men looked down, distraught. They'd been with the Varia a long time now, so long they didn't even have a home to go back to. How else where they supposed to react to such a proclamation. And they were Assassin's for crying out loud, most wouldn't even live to see them a second time! And why would you want to meet Assassin's anyway?
"Prepare, my box weapon. And prepare for battle. We cannot let her enter the Varia Main Grounds.
Some blinked but they understood their Superior's decision. To come walking into the forest to meet the Varia, this woman was no normal being.
Begrudgingly, they said in unison, "Sir, Yes, Sir!"
"Haha! The old senseis were pretty funny! " Lilia wondered out loud. "They all wore the same clothes too…..Oh well! Second Verse!" She proclaimed out loud. Lilia cleared her throat as she began to sing again, "Nine idiots were jumping 'cross a cliff. One fell down an-"
"Bahahahaaaaa~~~~~~"
Stopping from her trek, Lilia looked around. "A goat?" She began to frantically look around, "A goat in a forest? Is it a Forest Goat?" she asked innocently to no one in particular
She failed to notice in her analytical monologue, that a huge shadow loomed above her.
"Why is there a goat in a fore-"
CRASH!
The shadowy figure slammed down some body part onto an unsuspecting Lilia. "Damn! What the?" Lilia, by God's miracle had managed to dodge the potentially life threatening shot.
She looked up to see a …GIANT GOAT!
"Bahahahaaaaa~~~~~~"
"…."
"Bahahahaaaaa~~~~~~"
"I see. That's too bad, then."
"YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT?" screamed a voice behind Lilia
Lilia glanced behind her. Her hands flew to her mouth in surprise and her eyes showed distress, "You are…"
"Kuku….Recognize us don't you?" The Superior officer put his hands on his hips as he laughed demonically, "We are the Varia's External Security Force! We are assassins hired to protect this forest with our lives!" he exclaimed out loudly and very proudly
The other 50 or so men appeared, weapons in hand.
"EEEEHHHHHH! YOU GUYS TEACH ASSASSINS?" she screamed, eyes shooting out of her sockets in surprise
The man in charge blinked, "What? No-You really are an-"
'Sir! You forgot to remove your glasses.'
'Oh! Fiddlesticks! Thank you V.L.M. N. - 21-kun (Varia Lower Member Number dash 21-kun)!'
"Behold! I am the Security Commander Cesario, the Assassin famously known as the "Red Flash" for my brilliant Red mustache and-ARE YOU LISTENING?"
Lilia was already fighting neck and neck with the Giant Goat.
Cesario laughed as Lilia crash landed from receiving one of the Goat's punches. "You can't defeat my modified Box Weapon. Plus, its Sun factor allows it to heal at a faster rate from your punches and kicks. Give it up!" He laughed, maniacally, a very stereotypical laugh at that too. "You can't defeat my Rosy-chan!"
Starring, poker faced, Lilia faced Cesario, serious, "You named your giant pet goat, Rosy?"
"SH-SHUT UP! ROSY-CHAN! KILL HER!"
"Bahahahaaaaa~~~~~~" Rosy raised her hoof to stamp down on Lilia's traumatized face.
WHAM!
The crash created a mini earthquake, but Lilia barely managed to escape. Lilia was on her hands and knees, coughing blood as she clutched her stomach with one hand. 'Definitely a few ribs broken. Damn it, I underestimated that giant goat.'
"Hey?" Lilia called, earning Cesario's attention
"What? Want my number? I'm sorry but I'm already married-"
"NOT THAT!" Lilia looked serious, as she glanced at the 50 or so men behind him, "Why are you guarding this forest?"
Smirking Cesario closed his eyes. "Me and Rosy have guarded this forest, faithfully for years since, Sword Emperor Tyr's time. We've seen many people go in and out these forests for many reasons. Many never came back. That's why we still guard this place. It is the only thing that gives us a purpose. And that why no one…." Lilia's eyes focused, at Cesario's murderous intent, "…NO ONE WILL GET PAST US! THIS FOREST IS MY TREASURE! AND WE'LL GUARD IT WITH OUR LIVES!"
Starring, Lilia closed her eyes as she smiled. "I see." Struggling to get up, she pushed herself up to stand. "Treasure, eh?"
"W-What are you doing?" Cesario asked as he watched Lilia
Lilia was doing leg stretches and arms stretches. "I'm sorry, Ossan! I might chip your treasure a bit." She stated
"What are you talking about?…." Cesario stared gape eyed as he watched Lilia turning toward him with a grin.
"I like you. You got guts. So, I just wanted to say sorry before I did it."
"Wha-EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHH?" Cesario screamed in marvel
Because, unexplainably, Lilia had shot herself up, crushing the ground beneath her feet and had managed to punch Rosy right across her face. The punch was so strong, it somehow made the goat fall as Lilia remained in air.
"Ah, crap! I jumped too high! How do I land?" she panicked in the air
Still not believing what had just happened, he stood frozen as another officer yelled out, "SHOOT HER DOWN! DON'T LET HER STEP ONTO THE VARIA MAIN GROUNDS!"
She gracefully landed and seeing the mass of guns pointed at her, Lilia muttered, "Shimatta! Guess I have no choice." Lilia swung over her bag and proceeded to throw whatever that was in there at the enemy.
"What the hell? A spoon?" said a Varia member as Lilia kept shooting her forks and knives
"She's throwing kitchen utensils?"
"Why?"
"No. I think the more important question is what is she? Handling common households products like assassination weapons…."
"Shoot! There's a fork lodged between my eyes!"
"Damn! A frying pan just slammed into my head!"
"That was a cast iron skillet, moron!"
"How are you even alive?"
"USE THE NETS!" commanded another voice as the men complied and used the nets
"Tch. You guys are in the way." Lilia ducked passed a net, as she crouched in front of a tree. Staring at it, a light bulb went off. She dug deep down and with a fairly effortless pull, pulled the whole tree out of the ground.
The Varia's eyes went centimeters away from their original location in their respective sockets. It's not everyday you see a woman lifting a full grown adult tree with nothing but her hands. Without another word, she swung it around like a baseball bat wiping out another good 20 men.
"Phew. Forty down, ten to go…." She said throwing the tree over.
"W-What is she?"
"Ba-Bakemono!" ("Monster!")
Cesario couldn't help but gulp at the damage the girl had managed to do in a mere 10 minutes. 'Incredible. She defeated my Rosy with a single punch. She lifted that tree out of the ground like it was nothing. She's trained remarkably well too. Her martial arts are beyond anything I've ever seen too….. To think she would come to us…..'
Something stirred in the background.
Lilia froze, dread overwhelming her and Cesario paled in fear. A shadow, twice as big and ten times as frightening was standing behind them now.
"BRAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA…!"
