Author's notes: And now for something completely different.
Dragon Unleashed
Bonus Chapter: The Death of Ciel
Yang was in the hideout's mess hall, eating lunch that Ciel had prepared. It was bacon, sausages and eggs. The blonde was stuffing herself with the food, since the soldier was a surprisingly good cook. Yang might not like Ciel all that much, but her cooking was a different story. Hell, she almost didn't want to kill her, if she continued to make food this delicious. Unfortunately for Ciel, her personality was something the blonde couldn't stand all that much.
''Hey, nanny!'' Yang called out. ''I want seconds! Hurry up over there!''
Ciel could feel her blood pressure rising. ''What do you mean ''seconds''!? That was your third serving! Don't you think you've had enough already!?''
''I'm a big girl and I need yummies in my tummy! Now hurry up with the food!''
The soldier grumbled in annoyance as she brought more food to the blonde serial killer. ''Honestly, after all the crap that we have to go through with you, I think we should just execute you like the animal you are! Nothing good can come from releasing a lunatic like you!''
''Oh, quit whining, would you?'' Yang said as she started to wolf down her fourth serving of bacon, sausages and eggs. ''Also, could you come up with some new insults? I have heard people call me an animal and a lunatic so many times that it's getting old!''
''You want some new insults?'' Ciel asked while her eye was twitching. ''Fine. How about that you're nothing but a cancer on our society!?''
''That's a bit more into the right direction, but nothing original. I've heard people call me that a couple of time, too,'' the blonde answered in a bored tone. ''Try a bit harder.''
''Oh, you want originality, do you!? HOW ABOUT, YOU'RE A DISGUSTING CANCER ON HUMANITY AND YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH AN USELESS, BRAINLESS BITCH THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT DOWN A LONG TIME AGO!''
Yang's body tensed up and her eyes turned red. ''What was that last part?''
''What!? The part about your love for Ruby!? That she's an useless- GACK!'' Ciel was cut off by the blonde grabbing her by the throat and lifting her up in the air. Yang was glaring at the soldier with all the hate she could muster and was slowly tightening her grip around Ciel's neck, making her squirm.
''What did I say about pissing me off? You can say anything about me, but never mention Ruby. Especially in a negative manner! If you ever do it again, I'll-''
*CRACK!*
Ciel's body went limp and lifeless as her throat was crushed under Yang's grip. The blonde stared with wide eyes and shock at the dead body she was holding. She had only intended to scare the soldier, not kill her. Yang knew that if she ever did that, Ironwood would not be pleased. Now she needed to find a way out of this mess and fast.
''Oh, crap,'' was all the serial killer could say.
Yang was sneaking around the hideout with Ciel's body and a fire axe she had found. Her plan was simple and stupid, but she really hoped that it would work. She just needed to make it to the bathroom without Penny finding her.
''Ms. Yang, why are you sneaking around with Ms. Ciel on your back?''
The serial killer's heart nearly stopped when she heard the familiar voice of the robot girl behind her. She slowly turned her head to look behind her to see Penny standing there and looking at her with wide and curious eyes.
''Ummm... Ciel fell asleep... so I'm taking her to my room to rest,'' Yang answered, hoping that the robot was as stupid as she thought she was.
''Oh, I see! That's very nice of you! I can't see why Ms. Ciel or father don't like you!'' Penny happily exclaimed, making Yang let out a sigh of relief. ''But what do you need that axe for?''
''...I'm going to chop firewood later?'' the blonde lied while sweating heavily.
''Oh! I see! Well, carry on then, friend!'' the robot exclaimed, before turning around and walking away.
Yang stared with wide eyes as Penny left and mumbled, ''Just who programmed such an idiot and why?''
The serial killer finally made her way to the bathroom. She immediately walked up to one of the toilets and dropped Ciel's dead body next to it. She then took a hold of her axe and got ready to swing it.
''Well, it was a pain knowing you, Ciel. At least you're going to be buried like the piece of crap that you were,'' Yang said and swung down the axe. She hacked at the body until it was in pieces, before she started to shove them into the toilet and flushing them down.
However, she soon faced a problem. The toilet was clogged.
''Oh, SON OF A BITCH!'' Yang yelled angrily and she started to stomp down the body parts with her foot in an attempt at getting them to go down. ''Just go down you bastards!''
Suddenly there was a knock on the door and a familiar voice was heard behind it, ''Ms. Yang? Is everything okay in there?''
''Why now, Penny?'' the blonde whispered to herself. ''Uhhh... EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT! I'M JUST HAVING SOME TROUBLE AT THE TOILET! CIEL'S FOOD REALLY DID A NUMBER ON ME, THAT'S ALL!''
''Do you need help?'' Penny asked from behind the door. ''Father wants to see you, by the way. Mind if I come there and help you, so you can go see him sooner?''
''NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! THIS IS SOMETHING I NEED TO DO BY MYSELF!'' Yang quickly replied and continued to shove the body parts down the toilet. ''YOU GO TELL THE GENERAL THAT I'M GOING TO TAKE A WHILE, OKAY!?''
''Alright, but please hurry! Father can be very impatient,'' the robot replied and walked away.
The serial killer sighed in relief and looked down at the body parts with a glare and said, ''Hard to believe you're even more of a pain in my ass now that you're dead.''
Yang eventually managed to flush the body parts down the toilet. However, she was drenched in water and blood, and her little ''disposal site'' was a mess. So after quickly cleaning the mess she left behind, taking a quick shower and changing her clothes, she was finally ready to meet Ironwood.
After a good amount of time, the blonde was sitting in the briefing room with Ironwood looking at her in the monitor. Yang was nervous, to say the least. She hoped that the general had not noticed Ciel's absence or that Penny had not told him about what she had been doing.
''You're late, Xiao Long,'' Ironwood said with a clearly displeased tone. ''Mind telling me your reason for this?''
''I had trouble in the bathroom,'' Yang quickly answered.
The general narrowed his eyes. ''Where is Ciel? I have tried calling her a couple of time.''
''Oh, soldier girl?'' the blonde said and looked away from the monitor. She was starting to sweat as she tried to come up with an explanation. ''I think she went outside. Hope nothing bad happened to her.''
''What are you talking about? She is right behind you.''
''Wha-''
''That's right, Yang,'' a familiar voice said behind the blonde.
Yang got up and turned around to see Ciel standing there, like nothing had happened to her. There was not even the slightest indication that she had been harmed in any way. The blonde felt chills run down her spine as she stared at Ciel. She couldn't believe her eyes.
The serial pointed a trembling finger at the apparently resurrected soldier. ''B-But... I... I thought you were...''
''Dead?'' Ciel finished for Yang. She then started chuckling, which terrified the blonde for some reason. ''Oh, Yang. You can't kill me. After all, I am eternal.''
''What!?''
''You heard me. I am eternal,'' the soldier repeated as a twisted smile spread across her face. ''Or should I say, WE are eternal?''
Before Yang could ask for an explanation, she heard footsteps all around her. She looked around and her blood ran cold. There were Ciels all around her and all of them had that same creepy smile on their faces.
''That's right. We are eternal. And you will be soon, too,'' one of the Ciels said and snapped her fingers. Immediately, two other Ciels grabbed a hold of Yang's arms and held her in place. The blonde tried to struggle, but she couldn't escape their hold on her. She heard footsteps from behind and she looked there to see one of the clones walking towards her with a pole in her hands.
''W-What the hell are you planning!?'' Yang asked in a terrified tone.
''You always say that I have a pole in my ass. Well, so will you soon and then you will become of us,'' Ciel said and her clones started chanting ''One of us!'' over and over again.
Yang's body was bent forward and she could hear the Ciel behind her getting ready to insert the pole.
''No! NO! NOOOOOO!'' the blonde screamed.
''NOOOOOOO!'' Yang screamed as she woke up in her bed. She was panting heavily, her whole body was soaked in sweat and her eyes were wide from fear. She looked around herself to see that she was in her room and that everything was completely normal. The blonde sighed from relief as she realized that it had all been just a dream. ''It was just a nightmare. Thank God. I'm not becoming the new Ciel.''
''Of course not, Yang,'' a familiar voice said next to the serial killer.
Yang's eyes went wide as she recognized that voice. She slowly turned her head while hoping that it was not who she thought it was. However, her fears were confirmed as she saw Ruby standing there, wearing the same outfit that Ciel wears.
''I am the new Ciel,'' the redhead said, causing Yang to scream.
''NOOOOOO!'' the blonde screamed as she woke up in her bed. She quickly looked around herself and to her relief she didn't see either Ruby or Ciel. Yang took deep breaths as she tried to calm down from her latest nightmare. ''Just a dream. Ruby is not the new Ciel. Thank God.''
The serial killer was about to go back to sleep when she noticed something. A familiar feeling that she remembered from her childhood. She lifted up her covers to confirm her fears. She had wet her bed.
''Oh, crap! I was supposed to have gotten over that when I turned 14!'' Yang said in a frustrated tone. She then suddenly realized something. ''Wait a minute. Maybe this is a dream as well! I'll wake up any second now and my bed will be completely dry!''
The blonde sat on her bed and waited to wake up. She had a wide smile on her face as she waited for her dream to end. However, she eventually had to realize something.
''...Crap, this isn't a dream anymore, is it?''
''What kind of a horrifying serial killer wets her bed?'' Ciel asked angrily as she cleaned Yang's sheets from last night. Said blonde was leaning against a wall while drinking a bottle of soda. ''You damn lunatic! I swear, you're not worth the trouble in the least!''
''Hey, don't blame me. I'm certain this was caused by your food from last night,'' Yang said in a bored tone, making Ciel grumble angrily. ''Also, could you stop calling me things like ''lunatic'' and ''animal''? Everybody calls me those already and it's getting old.''
''Oh, you want some originality in the insults that are thrown at you?'' the soldier asked sarcastically. Her question caused Yang to stiffen and spit out her drink, which the soldier noticed. ''What got into you now?''
''...Just use the same insults everybody else does.''
Author's notes: This was something that came to my mind at one point and I couldn't resist writing. I thought it would be a fun little bonus to this story about Yang having nightmares of either her or Ruby becoming another Ciel, so I decided to quickly write it down and put it up. Hope you still liked it.
Next one will be a real chapter and Yang will be taking down one of Beacon's teachers. Or maybe two? Let us wait and see.
Until next time.
