"I'm glad you two joined us" intruder said as she was sitting in the backseat alongside gager.
"Ah! You can thank yulil and his amazing strength for that! I'm still impressed you didn't die by that punch you know?!" Architect said as she was in the passenger seat, holding ash in her lap.
"Oh please, you were the one who made up your mind... And we can thank gager's misfortune, because I dont think we would've all survived if we didn't have to help her" yulil said, diverting his attention from the road to architect's question "It's sad that we would've killed each other" architect said softly "But we didn't... And that what matters right?" Gager replied "Damn straight... You three seem really close, I thought SF ringleaders were all on each other's throat" yulil asked as he raised an eyebrow "You're not wrong, most of us are... But some ringleaders like one or two of their colleagues, for example me and these two are friends... Though we don't really care for the others, nor do they care for us" intruder gave her answer to yulil as he started feeling a sharp chest pain "Not the best timing..." He internally said as he did his best to keep his poker face... And the wheel steady "I heard that hunter and executioner are pretty close" architect said as she held her chin "Destroyer and alchemist seemed friendly to each other aswell" gager added as yulil's pain only intensified "We'll get to them eventually...and What about ag-" yulil was saying as he violently coughed on his hand, and as he looked at his hand he sighed at how true his prediction was.
"Hey! Is that blood?!" Architect said as intruder and gager leaned towards them looking at their commander "Nah...well yes it's blood, but don't worry about it, it's nothing serious" he said as he laughed off their concerned looks "How is coughing blood not serious?!" Architect said as she tightened her grip on the sleeping ash, yulil could see the obvious worry on her face.
Intruder gently slapped his neck "She's right... You better tell us what's wrong" she said as he saw her concerned and worried expression through the rearview mirror, he could also see that gager was more or less interested...
"Look I appreciate your concerns but it's oka-"
"No it's not!" Architect and intruder said in unison "Why don't you trust us yulil?... I trusted you with gager's life so why can't you trust me?" Architect said as he noticed that she quickly lost her cheerfulness.
"Alright... You remember when I didn't get affected by you punching me literally through a wall?" He said as he gave architect a sidelook, trying his best to keep his eyes on the road.
Architect slowly nodded "Well... I'm not really... Ugh how do I explain this..."
Intruder put her hand on his shoulder and spoke up with a warm smile and expression on her face "It's okay if you want to keep the details away...we are just worried"
"Nah you're right, let's just say that I'm not 100 percent human, my DNA is more or less modified, and when my brain goes into *snaps fingers* fight or flight mode, my body and mind becomes tougher and more battle adapted..."
"That's awesome!" Architect replied "It's... Not really that good when you read the lists of feedback I get from using this uh... "Power"...coughing blood is one of them" "Is the feedback life threatening?" Intruder said, beaming with worry...
"Thankfully it's not, it's just an inconvenience for a while" yulil said as he gave them a warm smile "Ah! Thank goodness!" Architect said as she regained her cheerful attitude "I'm glad you'll be okay" intruder added as yulil kept his smile through the mirror.
"I wish that was the truth..." He softly muttered... Out of reach of their hearing.
Suddenly the convoy started to slow down as yulil steadily slowed the Humvee's speed...
"Looks like we've got a bit of a problem" yulil said "Hopefully not a big one" intruder added As the convoy came to a halt yulil disembarked and started walking towards the source of the problem... As he reached the first armoured truck two tdolls who looked similair to each other disembarked the truck, holding what seemed like Chinese assaults rifles, a type 97 and a type 95, they reminded him of Felicity and anaiel, one seemed more mature and the other looked like the carefree kind of person.
As type 95 noticed him she gave him a polite smile and spoke up "Ah, we finally meet you... I'm type 95 and this is my little sister, type 97, I'm delighted to meet you, commander yulil" "Hey, I can Introduce myself you know?! My name is type 97 commander! Nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you two... So what's the problem?"
"Ah yes, looks like this truck's engine is dying on us" type 95 said Suddenly yulil felt a cold hand going down his back, he turned around as he noticed it was m1887 with a sly smile "Now now, you need to have a better guard newbie... I'm not pleased" she said as she slowly shook her head "You... Great, now I have a jester on my hands" yulil said, looking done with her as the twins chuckled behind him "Awww, I'm hurt" she said as she pinched his nose, before he put her hand away "Alright alright... What seems to be the problem now?"
"The truck's engine is giving up on us!" Type 97 said "Oh really?... Let me have a look, Im used to tinkering with vehicles" m1887 said as she popped the cover of the truck and started inspecting it, after only a short amount of time she smiled and looked at yulil "This seems easy enough.. gimme around 25 minutes and we'll be on the road again newbie" she said as yulil gave her a thumbs up and headed back to his humvee... He noticed ar team and 404 squad exited their vehicles and looked around the trees, inspecting them for enemies.
As he reached his humvee he peeked inside and spoke up with the three ringleaders "Looks like a truck is having some technical issues but 1887 is working on it so we should be okay" "Great great! Everything is going smoothly!" Architect said Yulil suddenly noticed a faint silhouette moving very quickly through the woods, deep within the small forest.
"I'll be back in a second you three" "Okay! Don't take long!" Architect replied to him with a bright smile.
Yulil entered the woods looking for the silhouette he spotted earlier on, he grabbed his pistol and slowly wandered around...
Suddenly he felt a warm breathe on the back of his neck, he immediately did a 180 and readied his pistol... But nothing was behind him.
He sighed and thought it was only his imagination as he lowered his pistol, and as he started heading back the way he came from someone came behind him and wrapped a cloth around his mouth at an inhumane speed, before putting him to the ground...
And as he turned around he saw alchemist's face millimeters away from his own face.
"Boo" she said with a scary smile, she was on top of him as she pinned his hands to the ground.
His eyes widened as he tried to break free, alas he couldn't get his arms free.
"Stop~, you're only hurting yourself yulil" she said as she looked like she enjoyed the position he was in,
He raised an eyebrow "I'm here to see your cute face again... That's all" she said with her mischievous smile Yulil rolled his eyes as she chuckled a bit.
"Oh you don't believe me? Mm~ Maybe I should prove it to you huh?" She said as she winked and slowly started moving towards his neck.
Yulil grunted as he moved his head away from her, his grunts could be easily translated as "okay okay I get it"
She laughed as she kept staring at him.
"Maybe I should actually let you speak... But don't scream~... You know I don't like preys that scream~" he nodded his head and had a look in his eyes that she took it as "yeah... I know" "Of course you know me~" alchemist added as she removed the piece of clothe around his mouth and resumed pinning his hands "Ugh! Can you at least release my hands?!" He said as he furrowed his eyebrows.
"can't do~, I like pinning you and making you feel defenseless~" she said with a grim giggle.
"Of course you do... So what the hell do you want from me? How are you even here?!" He said with a fed-up look, like this wasn't the first time this happened "Do I need a reason to see your adorable face?" She replied "I'm serious alchemist"
"I am too" she said with a wink "I also wanted to be the first one to wake you up but alas... Griffin was too active around your tomb" "My tomb?...hold up... You were the one who put me in cryogenic sleep?!" He said with a surprised tone "Of course... I would hate myself if you died...as I noticed that everyone started slaughtering humans I feared for your life and dragged you to an experimental cryogenical sleep facility, it was better than leaving you to die... Every human died in that area, no one escaped.." "But...How did you not get affected by the virus? You don't seem to have lost your memory like all the others"
"I... I did get affected, I do have that bloodthirst for human blood... I would love to tear you open right now and explore your insides" she said as she lost her smile which made yulil's heart skip a beat "But I love you too much~" she added as she regained her sly smile "Its no wonder you were one of the toughest tdoll back in the day"
"Hey~... I'm still the toughest" she said as she faked pouting, both chuckled "So if you still remember me... Why not leave sangvis Ferri, you know what they're doing is not right alchemist..."
"Yeah I know... But I am helping you from the inside" she said as she winked "I'm obstructing their plans and giving them a headache without them knowing" she said proudly "Who are "they"?..." Yulil asked as he raised an eyebrow "Can't tell you~ unless it'll be too easy for you"
"Didn't you say that you're helping us?"
"I'm not gonna make it too easy for you, but don't worry I'm on your side... I always was and always will be" she said as she gave him a kiss on his cheek before letting him go and getting up.
"I'll go back for now, take care of those three delinquents for me okay?" "I have a tons of questions to ask but sure... I'll see you around alchemist... Don't blow your cover, and if you do, come running to me okay?" He said with a worried look "My my, if you keep talking with me like that I might get on top of you again... And this time I won't let you go~" she said as she winked, while slowly fading away.
"Yeah yeah, just don't die." he said before he sighed and headed back to the convoy.
As he reached his humvee he opened the door and got inside, closing it behind him.
"You look happy" architect said as she cocked her head to the side "Is it that obvious?... Well I guess you can know... I may or may not have met alchemist just now"
"Huh?!" The three ringleaders said in synchronization as yulil chuckled "What happened?!" Intruder said as she leaned forward.
"Ah nothing bad, we just kinda talked about the past and her current stance in the war... She also remembers me, I guess she didn't get affected that much by the virus" he replied as he tapped on the wheel with his index finger.
"Ah... I envy her..." Intruder said as she sat down.
"Haha, don't worry about it intruder, we'll get your memories back, I promise"
"I don't doubt it" she said as she smiled at yulil through the rearview mirror "M1887 fixed the problem and we can resume our journey, is everyone in place?" A voice came through the Humvee's radio system, it sounded like it was type 95, after a bunch of tdolls replied yulil grabbed the radio and confirmed that he was ready.
After that, the convoy continued their way to parabellum base.
After what felt like two hours pass the convoy reached an intersection, most of the convoy would head back to their own base and yulil's troops would continue towards parabellum.
Yulil disembarked and headed towards the group, he found ump45 and m1887 talking with each other.
"This is where we part ways newbie, make you sure you take care of yourself okay? No more crazy adventures like today" "All I can say is that I'll do my best"
"I guess that's the best I can get, farewell... Hopefully we'll be able to meet again, you make this war not so boring yulil" she said as she smiled, the first genuine smile he got from her "Hopefully we will, you take care of yourself too, 1887... And I hope you don't treat your superiors like you treat me" he replied to her, giving her a stern look "Oh don't worry, that's only for you, anyway I'll get back now, see ya" she said as she walked back towards her vehicle, leaving ump45 squad and yulil.
"She's right you know... You act way too recklessly, yulil" ump45 said, with a serious tone "I know I know, I'm not gonna act like I don't, but still... That's what makes me yulil huh?" "I guess you're right, but...can you at least promise me to not die? You already brushed death a couple of times already for god's sake" "Don't worry about it, I'm a tough guy, it'll take more than a couple of ringleaders to kill me"
"I hope so...oh~ looks like the devil is coming to bid me farewell" she said as she looked behind yulil "Hey guys" m16 said as she stood beside yulil "Oh my, I never thought you'd come and say goodbye" ump45 said "Yeah well, neither did I... But I guess people change, I'm sure you know what I mean huh?" M16 replied with a smile "Yes I do~, I'm glad we were able to sort out our differences M16... Maybe we'll even become friends, you can never know~" ump45 said with her usual mischievous smile "Yeah yeah, don't bet on it foxey- uh ump45" M16 said as she scratched her cheek while ump45 widened her eyes for a moment at M16's friendliness, but quickly regained her composure "my my~, don't worry you can still call me foxeyes... It actually feels comforting in a way" ump45 said as m16 chuckled and put her hand on ump45's head, messing with her hair "I'm glad you two got together again, although how the hell did you become this close overnight?" He said with a raised eyebrow and a confused look M16 and ump45 looked at each other with a similair smile as they chuckled "It's a genuine miracle how dense a human can be" ump45 said "Oh don't even get me started" m16 added "And here you two go again, insulting your superior like this..." Yulil said as he crossed his arms "Anyway looks like it's time for me to go... M16 please do take care of yulil here, I'm sure he'll do something outrageous yet again" ump45 said "You can count on me foxeyes" she replied as she gave her a thumbs up "It sounds like I'm a child that needs to be supervised, ugh... Well you take care of yourself too 45"
"Yeah, don't go dying on us alright?" M16 added as ump45 waved one last time before heading to her humvee.
And so the once 7 vehicles convoyed shrunken down to only 2 Humvees as they headed back to their own base.
After the long journey each of them smiled as they finally could see the parabellum...
The two humvees entered the base as gager and architect looked uneasy.
"Don't worry you two, they'll get used to you like they got used to me" intruder said as she put her hands on their shoulders.
"Let's hope so, because I want to befriend everyone here!" architect replied Yulil chuckled and disembarked the humvee and as he was straightening his clothes he could see grizzly and AK-47 running across the compound...
"You stupid commander!" Ak47 said... Or more like yelled as she collided with yulil, forming a group hug with grizzly "Dumbass commander making us worry for the second time today" grizzly said as she playfully hit him with her knee to his stomach.
"Well, I did get back didnt I?" He said as the three let go of each other.
"Well I suppose you're right... But still everyone was worried you know? Springfield, g36 and m590 were worried too" grizzly replied "I see... Well everything went smoothly enough, as you can see behind me" he said as he gestured with his head behind him.
"Aren't those ringleaders?!" Ak47 said with a surprised tone "I'm not even surprised anymore" grizzly said as she held her head.
"Hello hello! I'm architect and this is gager, nice to meet you!" Architect said as she stood beside yulil.
"Uhm... Nice to meet you too" grizzly said.
"N-nice to meet you two, my name is ak47, hopefully you're as friendly as intruder da?" "I can vouch for them, they're good people" yulil replied before diverting his attention to kalina coming out from the main building as she waved at them.
"Commander~ nice to see you're still alive and kicking"
"This little danger isn't enough to kill me you know?"
"It's enough to kill any normal human" kalina muttered quietly as she looked away which made the others laugh "Sorry did you say something?" He replied, genuinely unaware of what they were laughing at "It's nothing don't worry... Actually you should worry, kruyger is at your office"
"Oh god... I think I might give him a cardiac arrest if I tell him I got two ringleaders... Well I guess I'll just go now and be done with it, you two can stay with intruder, she'll give you a tour of the base alright?" He said before turning his attention to architect and gager And with that done yulil headed towards his office and as he reached the door he gulped and slowly opened it.
He found kruyger and the same woman that he met when he first got the "job interview".
"Ah~ boss... Didn't expect you to come visit me and I'm guessing you're helian right?"
"Yes" she answered as kruyger turned his attention to yulil.
"Neither did I... But seeing your medical report here... I can't but feel like you're hiding something from us... Mr yulil" he said as yulil got the first ever stern look from him.
"Well I guess we have a long talk then" yulil said as he walked around the desk and sat on his chair.
"So whats going on with this "inhumane" recovery I read in kazimir's report"
Yulil sighed and looked around for a bit before replying "Alright... Have you ever heard of the genetic experimentations the military used to do in around the 2020s? To be more specific project mutare ad custodiam... To change is to defend"
Kruyger slowly nodded as he looked fully focused on what yulil was saying.
"Okay... Well it was a disaster, the project failed horribly and the military cancelled it especially when the war broke off as they had to focus on actually winning the war they had on their hands... anyway fast forward around 4 years and we reach the peace treaty the countries formed, after I retired from the military and worked for a bit with sangvis Ferri, the higher ups got their hands on the genetic experimentations the military scrapped, and they really wanted to research it further on... After they got acceptable results they finally decided to make it into practice and test it on humans"
"Isn't that illegal?"
"It was but they didn't really care... Having super soldiers was too tempting for them... Anyway after that they wanted volunteers and well I was one of those volunteers... I know how stupid one would have to be to actually accept the tests but hey, they doubled my pay and I'd become a super soldier if it succeeded"
"And did it succeed?"
"Partly... There were 5 volunteers including me... 2 had no changes in their bodies... And the 3 others were a success"
"And you were among those three I presume?"
"Correct... But that's not the problem... The two others had several problems with their bodies as time went on... They... They both actually killed themselves"
"Did their body mutate or something?"
"Actually no...I'll explain it simply to you, our bodies is made of hormones right? The things that control your mood and many other body functions... Now let's say you're in a middle of a firefight right? And your brain goes into fight or flight mode, those changes in your DNA will change the job of your hormones, let's say for example dopamine, the thing that controls your heart rate and assists in perception, that hormone is gonna get pumped over twice or even triple the usual amount, making your eyes go yellow, and basically sending you in slow motion, it doesn't feel like time slowed down for you, but you can actually see everything and react to it"
"So that's why it had military potential huh..."
"Yup, not only that, but it also makes your body way more resilient to blunt impacts, however not so much about slashes and anything that pierces your body, like bullets and shrapnel. Oh and a superhuman regenerative ability"
"It does sound like it'll turn soldiers into superhumans... But still why did those two successful volunteers killed themselves?"
"That's where the catch is... There are two types of after effects you get when your body keeps getting changed, those effects will get worse as long as you keep using your "power"... The scientists in SF classified them in two categories, short term effects and long term effects... The short term effect will impact you when you use your power at... Well from my experience it happens when I use it at around 80 percent I guess... It'll only stay around as long as you keep your body activated in overdrive, as the hormones responsible with your emotions get transformed they will lose their ability to control your emotions, basically sending you into a psychotic rampage"
"I see... What about the long term effects?"
"The long term effect, well... When you keep using your power over and over and over again your body will lose all ability of producing hormones to keep your mood stable, basically giving you a chronic depression... And those two did not stop from using their powers...I tried to convince them to keep it down but alas, they were already lost"
"I understand now... You should not have hidden this from us Mr yulil, I do not appreciate dishonesty" kruyger said as he gave him an intimidating look "I understand and I sincerely apologize, but you never asked me so technically I never lied... Okay okay I get it... I should've said something about it" yulil replied "What about you?... How did you cope with the after effects?" Helian replied as he noticed a faint look of worry on her face "Ah well...at first it didn't seem like a lot changed, but I eventually got hit by the impact of them and oh boy did they hit me like a truck, especially after what I've went through in the war since they only intensified the PTSD I had... But I did find ways to distract my mind so everything went well"
"I see, I'm glad you didn't do anything stupid" helian replied before yulil nervously chuckled and scratched his cheek "Talking about stupid things... I may or may not have captured two more ringleaders" he said as helian's monocle fell and kruyger widened his eyes before bursting into a deep, hysterical laugh "I'm not even surprised at this point" kruyger said as he held his head.
"Well I don't mind them... As long as they behave like intruder and are a benefit to us, commander Anna was pleased with Intruder's help" he added "I'll be responsible for anything they do, you can have my word that they're loyal." Yulil said with a serious face as kruyger smiled and nodded "Ah yes I almost forgot, commander Anna sent you a package, it's in your room" helian said as she adjusted her monocle "I see, I wonder what she sent"
"Ah also here you go" kruyger said as he tossed yulil a keychain attached to it were a key for a car and two other keys, he effortlessly grabbed the keychain and made a confused look "That's your new apartment, it's yours as long as you keep working for us, free of charge of course... And that's also your new car it's also yours as long as you keep your job here, You'll also be given a 2 days break so you can recover a bit" kruyger said with a look of sympathy "I'm really getting spoiled aren't i, what kind of car are we talking about? Because if it's one of those weird looking cars thanks but I'll walk" he said as he chuckled "You're only getting rewarded for your efforts, you're also now an official Commander, you can access the rankings and the g&k armament store, ask your logistics officer if you have any questions...and about your new car, I personally picked it for you so don't worry, don't get used to this though"
"So I wasn't an official commander before?" Yulil replied as he made a confused look "Well you needed to be tested yulil"
"Yeah I guess that makes sense, and how did I fare?"
"Let's just say you exceeded my expectations, and they were already pretty high...Well we'll get going now, looks like this war is turning for the better with you capturing three ringleaders... Oh and don't even bother to notify me when you get another one because I'm sure as hell you're not going to stop here huh?" Kruyger said as he raised an eyebrow "Ah well we'll see about that" yulil replied as he chuckled.
As kruyger left helian turned around one last time as she held the door "I didn't forget about that drink yet" she said with a smile "Don't worry just come visit me when you have the time" he said to her across his office as she smiled and exited.
Yulil sighed as he grabbed a cigarette and lit it, he remembered midway in inhaling the smoke to open the window behind him as to not get another verbal abuse from his "friendly" logistics officer if she suddenly comes inside.
After he finished smoking he went on to see what Anna gave him as a gift, he entered his room and found a big cardboars box, as he opened it he found a briefcase, he raised an eyebrow and put it on the ground, and as he opened it he chuckled and facepalmed It was a ubs12 underbarrel shotgun with a heart sign carved into the receiver
After he finished smoking he went on to see what Anna gave him as a gift, he entered his room and found a big cardboars box, as he opened it he found a briefcase, he raised an eyebrow and put it on the ground, and as he opened it he chuckled and f...
He slowly shook his head as he thought that woman was way into guns, just like him...
He inspected the shotgun and thought it might be useful since it's really portable and small compared to his benelli m4, maybe he'd use it for breaching purposes he thought.
He checked his watch and saw that it was 11am, "perfect time" he muttered as he got up and headed towards ar-team's dorm.
He knocked gently as he heard M16's voice, ar15 opened the door and made a surprised expression "Da-, commander? That's the first time you come over to our dorms, you need something?"
"You were going to say dad weren't you?"
"Well what can I say, I'm getting used to it i guess, so whats up?"
"actually, i came over about that thing we agreed on back at that factory" he said with a smile as he let ar15 dig into her memories She scratched her head for a bit before widening her eyes.
"Really? We're really going off duty to the city?!" She said with a wholesome smile, it looked like she was extremely excited "Well yeah I did promise it didn't I?, Besides I've got the day off so tell the others and meet me in the parking lot in around 20 minutes"
"Of course! We'll be on time!" Ar 15 said as she quickly hugged yulil and got back inside her dorm, he could clearly hear their voices "M16!, M4!, sop! Get ready we're going to the city!"
"What?!" M16 loudly said "I said we're going to the damn city with yulil! And Sop for the last time stop running around in your god damn underwear!"
"Really?! Hell yeah!"
Yulil chuckled and headed towards the parking lot, as he arrived he looked around for his new car, all the cars in the parking lot of the staff who worked here looked extremely "unique" and a little bit too futuristic for his taste... he roamed around trying to find his car since the keys didn't have the symbole of the car's brand... Probably kruyger messing with him yet again, yulil thought.
Then suddenly he passed by a car that made him stop halfway, he slowly turned around thinking it was too good to be real, and as he turned around he found the car to be an old white 2018 dodge challenger, it was the only car in the parking lot from yulil's generation.
Then suddenly he passed by a car that made him stop halfway, he slowly turned around thinking it was too good to be real, and as he turned around he found the car to be an old white 2018 dodge challenger, it was the only car in the parking lot fro...
"No fucking way!" Yulil yelled as he ran towards the car, he gulped and pressed the button on the car's keys as it looked like the car unlocked.
Yulil giggled like a schoolgirl as he got inside and found the interior to be clean and smelling brand new, even though it should be around 40 years old.
Yulil powered on the car as the GPS and tableboard came to life... He made a silent vow to never disappoint kruyger ever again as he tinkered around the built-in computer system, it clearly wasn't the original system since it looked way more advance, but he didn't mind it.
He spent the rest of the time fooling around the car and examining it's interior as he could notice ar team looking around the parking lot, yulil put his hand out the window and waved at them.
After a bunch of tries they finally saw his desperate attempt to attract their attention as they headed towards him, M16 had a big grin on her face as she noticed him and the car he was in "Nice car my guy" she said as she leaned inside from the drivers window, looking around the inside of the car.
"Get in girls! Today's your well deserved break" yulil said with a big smile on his face.
As sop and M4 got in the back seats he noticed that ar 15 and M16 stopped by the passenger's door and looked at each other's eyes for a bit before they immediately played a round of rock paper and scissors, M16 was the winner as she proudly chuckled while ar15 sulked and got in the back seat alongside the other two.
"So what exactly we'll we be doing in the city?" Ar15 asked with an obviously excited expression on her face.
"I thought about it for a while, im thinking we go first to the amusement park, then we'll go eat something, after that it should be nightfall and we'll go to a nightclub how does that sound?"
"Haha sounds great to me!" M16 said as she rested her arm on the door's window.
"I'm pumped too!"ar15 "Yay! We'll all have tons of fun!" Sop "I-i hope so" M4
And so yulil exited parabellum and started driving towards the city...
"So what's the occasion for this commander?" M16 asked "Does there need to be an occasion for me wanting to spend time with y'all?" He replied as he gave her a sidelook as he focused on the road.
"Got me there...but is it really okay? I wouldn't want you to lose your job just because we wanted to see the city you know?"
"Ah don't worry, I'm sure kruyger wouldn't go that far, as long as nothing happens to you four, so stay together alright? There's a bunch of weird people in this world that wouldn't mind kidnapping one of you"
M16 suddenly cracked her knuckles and bit her lip.
"Just the thought alone... I'll break anyone's face if they try to touch one of my sisters... And you, of course"
"Hah I'm flattered, we'll keep each other safe how about that?" "Sounds good to me!" M16 then suddenly started exploring the radio stations as she did her best to find an enjoyable song "Hold on a goddamn minute go back one station" yulil said M16 complied and went back the previous radio station as the voice of Justin Timberlake came out of the speakers "You've gotta be kidding it's 2062 and this guy's songs are still played" he added alongside a chuckle "The song isn't that bad, what's its name?"
"Higher higher, that's the name"
After that yulil displayed the lyrics of the song on the dashboard and after a bit of time everyone was singing along, well except M4 who was desperately trying to catch up with them.
Yulil looked around as he noticed that each of them had a big wholesome smile on their faces as they sang along, M16 and ar15 were snapping their fingers as sop threw her arms around both M4 and ar15, it was at this moment that he really knew that ar15 was truly enjoying her time, far away from the melancholic thoughts that always clouded her mind.
After the usual checkpoint checking yulil entered the city and headed for the amusement park.
"Oh, I heard that you had a tdoll shelter here is that true?" Ar15 said as she leaned forward.
"Who-... Yeah I do, why?"
"Oh no, just asking"
"Not really surprising huh?" M16 asked "Not even one bit" ar15 replied as they laughed.
The car finally arrived at the amusement park as yulil bought tickets for all the group and entered the park, sop was running around with a giant smile on her face as she wanted to try everything.
Suddenly she stopped by a haunted house as she just stared at it, the group quickly caught up on her as they stood behind her.
"I guess we know what we're trying first" M16 said with a smirk.
"I-isnt it t-too scary?" M4 replied as she clearly looked shook by the "intimidating" design of the haunted house "Don't worry m4, I'm here" M16 said proudly "Well, I guess let's just get in" yulil said As they first got in they started hearing screams of the victims of the haunted house.
Each member of ar-team gulped as they got in. Yulil put his hands behind his head as he casually walked around.
"H-hey don't leave us!" Ar15 said as they group ran to caught up with him.
They walked through a hallway with yulil leading, they got into what seemed a kitchen where they found a body and 4 white boxes, stained with blood "They're not r-real are they?" Ar15 said as she pointed at the body "Maybe... Accidents always happen" he said with a shrug and a vicious smile "P-please stop it's not the r-right t-AHHH" ar15 was saying as an actor violently bursted out of a box and started running away making her and M4 scream their lungs out as sop just seemed confused, ar15 hugged yulil's waist from the shock, M16 just twitched, clearly affected but not as much, yulil couldn't hold his laugh as he kept laughing while resuming on their haunted journey "Stop leaving us alone!" M16 said as she pushed the others to follow him.
They then got inside of a tight corridor they couldn't even walk beside each other and so they formed a line with yulil at the lead and M16 at the back.
Suddenly a doll with a broken lower jaw and blood all over her fell down in front of yulil.
He chuckled and squeezed between it and the wall and continued his way forward.
"This is really not fair!" M16 said "I-i k-know right" ar15 said as they followed him.
The group after that got inside what seemed like a torture room, where the door locked behind them making M16 snap behind, as she tried to open it she found out that they locked them inside.
Yulil tried the door leading forward and noticed that it was chained with a padlock.
"We probably need a key" he said as he looked around, the torture room was filled with torture and execution instruments, electrical chair, guillotine, many blades scattered around the floor and 4 bodies, each in an execution tool.
"I'm guessing one of our friends here have the key" he said as he turned to face the bodies.
"Y-you search them" ar15 said "There are four bodies, one for each of you all, I paid for the ride after all" he said with a sly smirk Ar15 sighed as she stepped forward to the man in the electric chair, his clothes were bloody and torn apart As she wanted to inspect the bag he had in his lap he leaped at her scaring the life out of her as he ran away through a secret door.
Ar15 ran away and collided with yulil as she hugged him tightly "You're really enjoying this huh?" M16 said.
"Sure sure" he said as he couldn't even speak from laughing at their scared faces, ar15 finally let go of yulil as he noticed that her face became slightly red when she noticed what she was doing, she inspected the bag that fell down and noticed it was empty she threw it away in anger as yulil kept laughing.
M16 decided to inspect the man who was tied to the wall.
She noticed a key that was beside his feet, she crouched and as she picked it and turned around the man screamed in her ears as the wall he was attached to turned 180 degrees making the man vanish, m16 tried her best to keep her poker face as she walked to the next door and unlocked it.
The group continued their way into the next tight corridor as a man with a chainsaw ran and almost collided with yulil, he ran between the group and headed to the torture room, ar15 and M4 blocked their ears as the man passed between them.
"I w-wanna go home" ar15 said as she gripped on yulil's shirt.
"Oh would you look at that" yulil replied as they reached a bunch of stairs and a door with a sign on top of it "exit".
"Yeah, you three can go, but you" he said as he pointed at M16.
"You and me are going to the next level since you look like you haven't got your dose of scary yet" "I think I got enough" M16 said as she wanted to follow them but yulil grabbed her hand as he slowly shook his head with a terrifying smile on his face.
And so the two of them climbed the stairs as a body fell and started rolling down the stairs.
M16 held her breathe before exhaling deeply as both of them continued their way on to the second floor and entered the next corridor.
"I-if you think you can scare me, you've got a long way" she said as she looked behind her "Ohh~ did I hear a stutter?, My my I think we're already getting there"
"Shut up" she said as she playfully punched him And so the duo got inside a room that had a closet and a bedroom, with the door locking behind them "Of course, classic move, doors locking behind... G-great" M16 said as she looked around.
"How are we supposed to proceed though" yulil said as he couldn't find a door or the like, he walked up to the bed as he noticed that it was a bit weird looking, he then heard the sound of something opening, he turned around to find M16 opening the closet just in front of the bed, she sighed.
"Well i guess no one would hide inside of it" she said as she turned to face yulil, however an actor hiding behind the clothes in the closet came out screaming and pushed M16 towards yulil as she pinned him on the bed and got on top of him, he could notice that the actor winked at yulil when he was running away.
"I don't think my heart is ready yet M16" yulil said as he faked being flustered.
"U-uh y-yeah sorry about that" M16 said as she got herself up while he noticed that her cheeks went red, he couldn't hold his laugh at the scene.
After that the duo inspected the room a bit more and that's when yulil noticed a lever under the bed, he pulled it, backed away from it and stood beside M16.
"You think we're finally done?" she said as she looked like her composed fa ade won't be able to hold another scare "Heh, hopefully, since someone is clearly looking uneasy" he said as he gave her a sidelook Suddenly the floor beneath them opened up as they both fell into a tube, that's when m16 started screaming as she held onto yulil.
The tube led them into a room where they got spit out into a soft surface, the rest of ar-team were standing there looking at M16 "H-hey" she said before yulil tapped on her arm and as she looked down she noticed that she was suffocating him with her arms around his neck and her her legs around his body.
"O-oh s-sorry" she said as she let go of him "We heard a lot of screaming" ar15 said as she winked to M16 "I d-didnt scream, period" she said as she and yulil got up and straightened their clothes.
"Well that was fun" he said as he stretched his arms when they exited the haunted house "Only for you" ar15 said as she playfully punched his side.
"Oh cmon we all had fun" he replied "Yeah you're right... We also know now that our one eyed tdoll isn't so tough anymore"
"I heard that" M16 replied.
And so the group tried different other amusement games before they bought a bunch of pizza and sat down by some tables in a greenspace.
Yulil checked his watch as he noticed that it was 20:21 the amusement park will close in a moment.
"The bumping cars were really fun!" Sop said as she shoved a pizza slice in her mouth.
"I think my favourite was the Ferris wheel, I could see everything from up there" ar15 replied "I loved it too!" M4 added "Mine was probably the rollercoaster" M16 said as she picked a slice "What about you what did you like the most" M16 asked yulil as he was looking at the sky, before turning his attention to them "Hm? Oh, it had to be the haunted house for me, my sides still hurt from laughing that much"
"Of course... We'll get our revenge so be careful, but what was your favourite part?" Ar15 Said "I really liked how hard you screamed, ouch! okay... Oh and I also loved that part" he said as he got pinched by ar15 before he turned to M16 when he finished talking, m16 raised an eyebrow as she was eating before she remembered being pushed on top of him, she slowly looked away.
"Uh what happened between you two?" Ar15 asked "Classified" M16 softly muttered as yulil chuckled.
After they filled their bellies the group got back to the car "Next stop the nightclub!" Yulil said as he started the engine and drived towards their next destination "How is it like? The nightclub I mean" Ar15 asked "Hm~ it sometimes can be fun with the right people, and you might even find yourself a boyfriend" he said to her with a wink through the rearview mirror "I doubt someone would love you" M16 said to her as she laughed before getting slapped on the back of her head "Heh, like I need one" she replied as the others laughed "Besides I already have one in my mind" she added "Oh really? Now I want to meet him, it's not easy to get your attention" yulil replied with a Chuckle "I'm sure he doesn't even know about how I feel towards him" "Aww, don't worry keep trying and I'm sure he'll notice your hard work"
"Let's hope so~"
They finally arrived at the nightclub as they could hear the muffled sound of the music coming from inside the club "Let's go have fun shall we?" Yulil said as he locked the car and got inside, followed by M16 The nightclub didn't look this big from outside but in reality it was huge, it had a gigantic dancefloor and a bar counter on the right, with stairs leading to the VIP section on the left, the music the DJ played was deafening, yulil could literally feel the bass. He turned to ar15 and M16 and said "Well you girls go have fun! I'll be over at the bar if you need me, accept nothing you get handed to okay? M16 you and ar15 keep a close look on sop and M4 too" "Don't worry about it we'll be watching over them" ar15 said And so yulil headed towards the counter and as he sat down the bartended pushed a drink towards him.
"Uh I didn't order anything yet" yulil said with a confused look "Courtesy of the tdoll over there" he replied Yulil looked at his right as he noticed a tdoll two chairs away from him with her eyes closed smiling very smugly at him, her hair was of a silver colour and she emitted an aura of a superiority complex, or at least that's what he thought from looking at her.
"Uh I didn't order anything yet" yulil said with a confused look"Courtesy of the tdoll over there" he repliedYulil looked at his right as he noticed a tdoll two chairs away from him with her eyes closed smiling very smugly at him, her hair was of ... As he made "eye contact" with her she got up with her drink and sat next to him "Hello there, nice to meet you" she said as she shook his hand "Nice to meet you too, thanks for the drink... uh?"
"Oh, my name is a secret" she said with her smug face "I see... So what gives me the pleasure of talking to you?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow.
"You just piqued my Interest, don't worry though, you don't look like you can keep me interested" she said with her smug expression and drank from her glass "Just long enough for you to hack my phone?" He replied as he gave her an Intimidating sidelook, she slowly opened her right eye a bit as he could see a bright purple colour coming from it, her eyes looked really intimidating, but not intimidating enough.
"Hehe, you really live up to what she told me. Alright alright, I'll cancel it" she said as yulil's phone vibrated.
"So who sent you?" "Classified~" she said as he was really getting fed up with her, and it could be obvious from the face he made.
"Oh don't be so angry~, you're the only human so far who I find mildly interesting, especially when i read your profile" "That's all I need, a tdoll following me who can't even speak to me with open eyes" "But I'd scare you~" she said with an annoying tone "How can you even see with your eyelids closed" he asked.
"To save processing power, I can perfectly see around me with my eyes closed, so don't try anything funny o-kay~?" "Not my type anyway" he replied as he drank from his glass.
"Okay fine, only for you" she said as she opened her eyes, he could see that her irises emitted a bright purple colour, their form was a bit different from normal eyes. she was right, she had a far more scarier and intimidating presence with her eyes fully opened.
"Happy?" She said with an emotionless tone before she closed her eyes "Hm~ yes... I also deduct that when you open your eyes you lose your emotional side don't you?" He replied "Correct deduction" she said with a soft chuckle.
he noticed that she looked behind quickly before resuming staring at him.
"Well I'll have to go now, we'll be meeting sooner than you think...yu-lil~" she said before whispering his name in his ear.
"Sure sure"
He didn't bother to turn behind him as he continued enjoying his drink, he also chuckled when he remembered he told ar-team to not accept any drinks yet here he is enjoying the drink that tdoll bought him.
After a bit of time he caught ar team going outside alongside 4 men in around their early 20s "Oh boy" he said to himself as he headed outside.
As he got outside he found his four tdolls speaking to the 4 men, M16 and ar15 looked like they did their best to restrain themselves from breaking those men's noses while M4 looked extremely uneasy and sop yet again had a confused look.
As yulil got behind them he noticed M16 and ar15 finally were at ease when they saw him before one of the men said.
"C'mon come with us, we'll have plenty of fun, I promise" the man said as he tried to grab sop's hand.
Yulil grabbed him by the back of his coller and pulled him towards him "Do we have a problem here?" He told him as he let go of his collar.
"Who the fuck are you?" The man replied "Their friend, and I suggest that you leave them alone or we will have a problem" yulil said as he gave him an intimidating look "Look bro, get the fuck out of here if you don't want to get beaten up" the man said as he gestured to his friends, trying to intimidate yulil by outnumbering him.
Yulil sighed and thought that this dense guy won't back off with just talking "You really are a pussy aren't you? Trying to scare me with your boyfriends over there" yulil said as the other quickly got angry and tried to sucker punch him, yulil could see his his punch from miles away as he grabbed it and headbutted his opponent as hard as he could, breaking his nose and making him fall on the ground.
The 3 others quickly tried to attack him and as they were doing so M16 and ar15 tripped two of the men, making them fall face first on the ground, yulil evaded the punch from the third man as he grabbed his collar and threw him on the sidewalk.
The two men got up and tried to attack M16 and ar15, but yulil quickly got behind them as he grabbed the first one and threw him behind him, the second one turned to see what was going on before he got punched straight in the face, knocking him out cold.
Yulil stood there as the four assailants were on the ground grunting from the pain before he spoke up "Let's get out of here, I don't want to have the time to explain all of this to the police"
And so the group headed towards yulil's car and drove off, while being watched by 3 people from a dark alleyway.
"So did you talk to him?"
"Yes, he really reminds me of you"
"And was it really him?"
"Yeah... He looks the same as the picture you showed me, he didn't deny anything either"
"So he really is back..."
Back in yulil's car as he exited the city and headed towards the base.
"What the hell did you four think? I told you to not agree to anything"
"Why didnt you call me?" He added "You looked like you were enjoying your time with that tdoll" ar15 replied.
"I would more call it pestered by that tdoll but fine... Ah whatever let's just drop it, next time please be more wary okay? I'm just worried about you, I don't want anything bad to happen to you four" He said as he smiled through the rear mirror "You're right, I...we are sorry" m16 replied "Yeah you did bring us here after all so we're sorry if we seem rude" ar15added "It's okay, today was really fun to be honest, we should come her together more often" "Yay! I'd love to commander!" Sop said happily "Yeah, we'd all love to" M16 added
And so yulil drove the rest of the group back to base as he headed yet again back to the city, kalina told him that it was more of a forced break than a normal vacation, he didn't mind it since he'd get some time off.
He passed by a grocery store and bought tea and some snacks so he can spend the night with them.
And so he headed for his new apartment, as he arrived he checked the code and saw that it was the correct one, he inserted the key and got inside the apartment, his house was on the sixth floor and so he got there through the elevator.
As he arrived in front of his door he exhaled and unlocked it, as he entered he turned the light switch on, his house wasn't that big but it was certainly pretty to look at, the decoration was fantastic.
He locked the door and took off his shoes.
In front of him was the living room where a giant TV was there alongside a couch and a table.
On his left was the kitchen, on his right was the bathroom and after that was his bedroom.
He went to the kitchen where he prepared some tea, he prepared 4 glasses of tea as he put them on a plate alongside the snacks he bought.
He picked up the plate and headed towards the living room where he turned on the TV and put the plate on the table, he sat on the couch and picked a cigarette, lighting it and inhaling the smoke.
As he exhaled the smoke he spoke up "Looks like the FSB still likes to come uninvited... Come sit down, I prepared some tea for you three" as he finished speaking he gave the people he felt behind him a sidelook, he saw two tdolls alongside a woman were standing behind him.
The same tdoll who bought him a drink was with the two of them,
One of them was a woman in her early thirties, with a scar on each cheek and one on her forehead, being badly hidden by her bangs. she looked familiar to yulil but he just couldn't remember her
The other one was a tdoll with blue eyes and a serious expression, she looked more stable to yulil than the two other The other one was a tdoll with blue eyes and a serious expression, she looked more stable to yulil than the two other
"I told you it was useless to hide" the woman told the smug tdoll as she jumped over the couch and sat beside yulil, followed by the purple eyed tdoll, the blue eyed one just normally walked around and sat beside the other tdoll "I told you it was useless to hide" the woman told the smug tdoll as she jumped over the couch and sat beside yulil, followed by the purple eyed tdoll, the blue eyed one just normally walked around and sat beside the other tdoll.
The woman grabbed a glass and took a sip "Hm~ your tea really throws me back to my childhood... and also reminds me of my father" she said with a wink "First of all who are you?" He asked her "Ah yes my name...hm~..." She said as she scratched her chin "It's Sasha" she replied, making the purple eyed tdoll snort "And this delinquent here is ak12, the good girl over there is an94" she said as she pointed at each of them "And you... You are yulil" she said with a smile "Correct... So what does the FSB wants from me? I've been a good citizen so far" he said with a smile "Oh, we only want to know if you're on the good side, you were affiliated with sangvis Ferri after all"
"I see.. and what'll happen if I'm not on your side" he said, making "Sasha" scratch her chin and look upwards.
"We probably would hurt someone... Someone you care about... Perhaps angelica would love to know that you're alive eh?" She said with a smug smile before yulil twitched and gave her a terrifying look "If you hurt her..." "Don't worry, she's unaware of your comeback... It's nice to see that you love her this much though" she said before smiling wholesomely and looking at the ground "How is she doing?" "Oh, what do you think?" "Honestly... Knowing that dumbass she probably would've joined the military or a PMC when she got old enough, just to get her revenge or something like that..." as he said that ak12 laughed violently as she tried to muffle her laugh with her hand but failed miserably, even an94 had an obvious expression that she found the situation funny.
"Don't mind them...but she didn't, actually angelica is married and works as a teacher"
"Really? I'm surprised... But I'm glad" he said as he smiled "You're glad?" She asked him with a raised eyebrow "Of course I'm glad... Chasing her revenge or whatever will only lead her to her grave, I'm happy that she decided not to, to settle down and enjoy her life"
She kept looking at him with wide eyes as he spoke before she looked away "Would she... Would angelica disappoint you if she chased her revenge?" She asked, looking like she desperately needed an answer.
"Hm... No I wouldn't be disappointed, because I was the only one she looked up to, and well I would've chased my revenge so no, I'd be flattered if she wanted to avenge my death but I wouldn't be disappointed, I just dont want her to die" he replied as she smiled when she heard his answer.
"I'm glad... We can go see her if you want" "Ah, I'd rather not"
"Oh? Why not? I'm sure she'll be happy to see you...if she doesn't kill you first that is"
"Haha, looks like you know her well...I don't know really... I don't want to just barge in, I'm sure it'll turn her life around knowing that I'm still alive and i don't want to be an inconvenience to her life... She probably got over it and I don't want her to remember that day" yulil said as she just followed the words he said, her eyes widened at his reply, before she smiled.
"I see... I don't think she would ever get over it... but don't you think that she wants to see you again?"
"I know... But really, how can I face her... I left her when she was a kid, I don't even have the right to face her"
"Oh don't think like that, I'm sure the last thing she'd do when she sees your face is be angry"
"Yeah you might be right" he said as he scratched his chin "It's time" an94 said to the woman as she checked her watch and put the empty glass on the table "Ah well... We need to go now, it was nice speaking with you, yulil" she said as she got up "You didn't even ask me anything about my stance on the war though?"
She stretched her arms before she spoke up "Oh please, I know the side you're on even before I spoke with you... Anyway farewell, we'll be seeing each other sooner than you expect"
"Thanks for the tea" an94 said with a. Polite smile as she followed her "Keep being a good boy okay? Or we might come for you~" ak12 said with a wink "Yeah yeah" he said as he brushed her smugness off...
As the three intruders exited his house, Yulil sighed and looked at the ceiling.
"I wonder if I should meet angelica after all"
