Chapter 44: Fire and Ashes
Company Eight was in the middle of a job.
Another person had turned into an Infernal, where once stood a normal man now stood a monster of flames that consumed everything it touched.
It wasn't an honor, but a solemn duty; these infernals were once humans, and the only way to stop them was to kill them. It was the only way to stop them or to put them out of their misery.
They would fight like a wild beast; they'd struggle to survive, that same old fire to live still burned in them.
Inside the burning home, the Company met the unfortunate soul.
The fire force was more than ordinary firefighters, they had to handle infernals. They had been fighting it for a few moments and had cornered it.
Captain Obi turned to Sister Iris, "Sister,"
Iris lower her head and closed her eyes as she whispered a prayer, "May the soul return to the great flame,"
This Company never forgot the person and always would offer a prayer as a send-off, hoping they'd find their peace and quick death.
Hinawa raised his gun; Maki raised her fist, preparing to attack, Arthur, readied his flaming sword. Tamaki had flames around her, forming twin tails and two forming cat ears on her head. Shinra's feet glowed as flames flickered around them.
Obi fired, he preferred to do the kill take on the burden from his subordinates whenever he could.
The bullet aimed squarely at the infernals' heart, and before it could reach its target vanished into dust.
Had the infernal burned itself into ash so quickly?
"Wha-?" Iris mumbled, stopping in the middle of a prayer.
Before their eyes, the nun vanished in so much ash.
"What's going on?" Obi managed to utter his form taken next.
"Obi!" Hinawa let out in shock.
"No!" Arthur yelled," Not like this!"
"Arthur!" Shinra yelled out as the wannabe knight began to crumble.
"I am a knight; this is not a death befitting of one. I should die amidst battle-"Arthur managed out as he dissolved.
"No!Nonononono!" Tamaki yelled, her flames sputtering out as she too started to dissolve. "What's going on? What's happening?"
Maki reached for her but found her hand pass through nothing but ash.
"Lisa!" A voice yelled outside, and the remaining members rushed out,
There were usually people watching from outside, but they only saw people running in a panic.
The Matchbox, their vehicle, stood more of their member Vulcan and Victor. Vulcan was looking on confused.
Victor looked baffled, "Something- Something just happened! Lisa was right here and then she was gone! Then people in the crowd started to vanish!"
The mad scientist was a loss for words.
Even now, they heard more screams coming from homes over.
Hinawa looked on; without the captain, he was in charge, "Everyone pulls it together! I don't know what's happened! I can't even begin to; all I know people are scared, and they need help. We are Company 8, and we are going to help any way we can."
Shinra was the first to speak, "Right, sir!"
Shinra wanted to be a hero, to live a promise he made, and he held onto that promise right now to drive away from the fear and help where he could.
Authors Notes: Since I did soul Eater I decided to do Fire Force too, both have a lot of similiar elements you know being made by the same guy. Honestly I've been following the anime on toonami and it does suffer of too much fan service but there are actually a lot of good moments. Visuals are great and it does have alot of good character moments. Leave a review and telling me what you guys think.
Q&A:
LeionnaireBlaze: I didn't forget them, it's just I really can't do much with slice of life series or grounded series. The snap just seems very out of place with them.
Luiz4200: I'm not taking any more request or suggestions. I want to finish the world tours before I hit 50 chapters. Honestly these are taking me a lot of effort to write the same event so many times. I'm not making the list any longer. I just don't have it in me. I know a couple of the series you mentioned and one is on my list.
As for Your danny question, I just flipped the coin and Desiree didn't make it. He'd consider it but I have never seen her have enough power to bring someone back. like this. I just don't think she'd have the power.
Capitalclassship: Well I do plan to do that in my vs infinity story. I'm getting back to it once Im done with all these snap shorts.
TheKeeperofWorlds: Maybe if I ever get through the list of worlds.
