Symphogear of the Wind
Chapter 7: Soap Mactavish
In the last chapter Kanade joins Div 2 in hopes to avenge her dead family. Arriving at Genjuro's home, Tsubasa introduces Kanade to Uneru and helps Kande move in. After an accidental pantie shot, and dinner. Uneru is sent to assist the Irish branch of Div 2, their dealing with a separate entity attacking and stealing Symphogear technology. We now return to Uneru face to face with a Scotsman barking at him.
We are Uneru
Standing on this bridge is two men arguing who will cross. And sadly. I am one of the two, this Scottish man is really pushy. When I try to give a solution he shoots it down without a second thought. Master. I'm trying to be flexible but he's just not letting me. I just can't figure him out, and I my patience is weighing. I really just wanna cut this guy… And why is this bridge so long and small?! I poked in the head by the man as he exclaims.
Man:(annoyed) So yer deff too, you clad tailed honey drek. I'll tell you what we are gonna do. We'll fight for it.(spitting) To the Finish.
Uneru:(backs up) Ew… Um... I do not think their is any need to-
Man:(pokes Uneru) Listen you Boony blethering nomething. The only way for you to get across this bridge, is to beat me in combat. So are you a man? Or a blearthing nothing like I know you are…..(gets face to face) I'm calling you a coward!
Uneru:(firm) Is that so? Too bad I fear, no man.
Man:(backs up) Oooh, that some tough talk coming from a man who wears a basket on his head.(Uneru raises eyebrow) I carry me Hages in a basket. You might make me shiver if you weren't dressed in a nightgown.
I look up at the hat covering my head from the sun. Ok first off. I wear nothing close to a nightgown. And second. This 'Basket hat' is called a Kasa. A traditional Japanese style Hat. I bought it because of the sun, and I want a little reminder of home. I think to myself as I become all the more irritated by this man. I'm only a second away from just gutting this guy.
Man:(smiles) Heh. You look like my nanny. You call that thing dangling off your neck a Necklace? Looks like one of those small jelly beans. You won't be hurting anyone with that thing around, you'd be better off using your backpack as a weapon. I'll show you a real weapon.
Grabbing his blade he pulls out a massive broadsword. "This here is the Singing Sword of Conaire Mór." The Singing Sword?! How does he have it? I mean I got my Fragarach from the Irish branch. But how did he get his hands on this?! Questions race though my head, but then get interrupted by the man again.
Man: What do ya think of that mr, Pajama wearing, basket face, Slipper welding, clyde, dre, drop miniude, glither upper, blethering, olper, shifter, fat headed, milk drinking, soy face, shot faced minude, sniveling worm, my hooting mod, vile stitching, colly bread taty!(swings blade)
"None of that made a lick of sense!" I shout grabbing the Fragarach and taking it off my neck. The man swings at me, transforming the Fragarach into a two handed katana I block the attack. But the Man's strength forced the blade into my hat. "Heh heh heh." My kasa splits and falls into the abyss below. Oh come on!
Man:(smiles) Ha ha! You gonna weep now? Ha ha ha! Shall I pause while you mourn your hat? I can play a mellon cally too, to go with you're weeping.
That's it! Two can play at that game! I thrust forwards and I stap the air sack of the pipes he's carrying. Taking my blade I come back and thrust my blade inside the pipe. The air starts to escape from the bag, a sad sound coming out from it.
Man:(angered) You've done it now.(tosses pipes aside) I'm going to turn your head into a floor sifter!
Uneru:(readies blade) With that thing you call a blade?! It's more like a Butter knife, you're better off using those pipes you tossed off to the side!
"Oh, now yer dead!" Raising his blade the man attacks me, the two of us start going at it. At first I mainly go in the defencive, dodging his attacks, and blocking the one I can't get out of the way. I need to figure out his strengths. The man does a wide swings, I duck under the blade I then jump up. As I drop down I use the force to smash my blade into his, and a massive shit eating grin forms. He's lowered his guard! I go on the offensive striking fast and hard against him. Using the area on his massive broadsword he blocks most of my attacks, but I'm still pushing him back. The man strikes at me but I step out of the way and the blade hits a plank. We both swing our blades at each other, going into a blade lock. It's turned into a battle of strength. At first I'm being the one pushed back by fast strikes. I then push back at the man, as he starts to back up.
Man:(smiling) Aye You got a bit of pip for a wee laddy… Even having a hidden sword. HA HA HA HA!
Uneru:(disgusted face) Oh god! You breath smells worse than Genjuros room after a long work out! Christ!
Meanwhile in Japan…
*Acho~!* Genjuro let's out a massive sneeze into his arm, that surprises everyone in the room. "You ok commander?" Fujitaka asks. Genjuro lifts a finger to his nose. "I'm fine. Perhaps a bit sick through." Genjuro notes grabbing a tissue and cleaning his now nose.
Fujitaka:(Turns to Genjuro) Perhaps you should take tomorrow off.
Genjuro:(sighs) I think I'll do that.
Back with Uneru
I break off the blade lock, and the man swings at me. I dodge the man's attack and I launch into the air again. "Hiyaaaa!" I scream as I slash at the Scotsman's blade a sound kiin~ would sound. The hell? "The Tremendous Horse Cut technique should have destroyed your sword." That blade of his should have been shattered! How?! "Magic rune's Laddy, this is a sacred sword! All them fancy moves will get you nowhere. So quit you're jumping around and get to fighting!" Thus we would go back at each other. Duhh! It's the singing sword it's like a Symphogear! It's not so easily broken! The two of us continue to battle.
Time skip: 1 day later
Holy shit...We've been fighting for a day now. Both of us exhausted. "Ah heh. Prepare to meet your doom." The man tries to lift his sword but to no avail. "Ah~ I'll give you one more chance to give up." The man says. God. I feel so honored. I sarcastically think to myself. Still to fight for almost an entire 12 hours is… Incredible but hard to even… Comprehend.
Uneru:(out of breath) Th-Thanks but…. I… Am… Not defeated. I… Will hold… My ground.
Man:(raises eyebrow) Hold your ground? You can barely hold your sword.
Uneru:(smirks) Then come get me.
"Wha! Ig I... A- Arggg~ seeing that I'm a sports man. I'll give you a moment to recuperate." A silence between us occurs. Eh. Who am I to back down from a moment of respite after a WHOLE 12 HOURS OF NON STOP FIGHTING! After a few minutes of silence a loud sound of engines drags our attention away from each other. I turn to see a sort of bridge driving motorcycle. "Ok. How the hell does that even work?!" I shout as I get to my feet.
Man:(looking around) The Anti Symphogear organization Tartarus! Agh!(points) If you hadn't held me up I would have meet with the Div 2 informant.
Uneru: Hey! That's my- (Turns to Man) Wait. Informant?(points) You're my informant?!
Man:(turns to Uneru) A wi man like you is the assistance?!
Uneru:(sweatdrop) You do realise that we were able to hold each other off for an entire day right?
"So what?" Something is launched by the Tartarus soldier coming to our right. A chain locks on my arm and it also attaches to the scot's man's arm. "Oh that's not good." I mumble as look to my left and then my right. Who the hell made this stuff?! "We are in no condition to fight with these odds!" I tell to the man.
Man: Especially with a pajama wearing daisy strapped with me as a partner!
Uneru: Oh you're just filling me with confidence aren't you? (Looks side to side) Aw man… We need to get out of here!
"Over the side!" The scotsman suggests. We both jump, but to opposite sides. The chain pulls back together. Well...That worked out brilliantly. "Leave it to a lover of basket hats to jump left instead of right." Is this guy serious? How could I have known? Seriously, all this guy does is just talk, talk, talk! "I'm having second thoughts anyway." As he exclaims his worries. Oh wait till I do this! I slash the planks under us as we fall. We splash into a lagoon, and we swim up to the surface.
Man:(looks around) Great job laddy. Do you have any idea where we are now?
Uneru:(looks around) Nope. I haven't the slightest clue… But on the bright side. At least we are away.
Man:(turns to Uneur) So what now smarty pants?
Uneru:(looking around) For the moment we are safe from those bounty hunters. We must find shelter before they find us. We are defenceless in this lagoon.
As I say that a half my Kasa floats by. Oh no… I know what comes next. "Ah Ha ha ha ha ha ha Oh ho ho ho ho!" He laughs, and just then the scotsman's pipes float by. A silence growing between us, and I know I just get the biggest grin ever. "Shut it!" The scotsman shouts, the fog around starts to move. "Their!" The two of us start towards land. "We'll be safer on land." We hide as the soldiers from tartarus converge on our position. Man whoever was on R&D was really… Creative to say the least. Some of the stuff that they're using Robo gaters, lagoon surfing tread thing? And I'm sure they have more where they came from. The soldiers spread out looking for us. "Let's move." I tell the Scotsman. "Aye." The two of us get up out of the bushes and we start moving out.
Man:(walking) Name?
Uneru:(raises eyebrow) Huh?
Man:(groans) You really are deaf. I asked what your name is you blithering nothing.
Uneru:(sweatdrop) You don't need to be so rude about it. My name is Kosuki Uneru.
Soap: Soap Mactavish….Heh. Uneru. Such a dumb name.
"Coming from someone named Soap." Soap turns and gives me a steer. "Touche." Good, he realises how odd his own name is. "So let me ask Soap. Why is Tatarus doing this? There seems to be no real reason for them to do this." This entire time I can't seem to figure out why they are doing this? "Well. That really all started about….3 years ago." That long? And without action? Oh this is gonna be good. I think to myself as I notice a large amount of plant life stands before us.
Soap:(takes out sword) They were a group of radicals. Who believed that the Noise are god's messengers. And any of those who are killed by the Noise are sent into heaven.
Uneru:(head lowers) Oh… These people are just a bunch of crazy sacrificial people aren't they?
Soap:(nods) Aye. They didn't do much against our little operation. Till recently, they been picked up old prototype anti-Noise weaponry so they can be the vanguards of the Noise. Or so the've been yaping. They've been harassing our operations, they have caused more destruction wherever they go. So they found their base in this area. A member from the Japan branch of Div 2 was to be sent to help us… Hard to believe that it's you?!
Uneru:(sweatdrop) Are we really going over this again? Yes. I'm the one who as sent by Div 2 to assist you guys. I was send due to my past experience traveling, and knowledge of multiple languages.
Soap: Ah. That explains why you speak such good english.(stops) Were here.
Standing before us is a large metal wall. On it is a bunch of keep away posters. And religious garbel. "So this here is their base. If we take down Tartarus." So… The approach is going Guns blazing? Apparently? I hope he has a plan for this.
