5 MAY 18
I really liked the story before, but with this new addition. I'm in love with it and I just want it to make it one of the best Mature stories out there. I'm working so hard right now to make this story better and also something I can be proud of like Never Too Late.
"So, you're the only ones left after all?" A large bison looking man standing almost ten feet tall stands before Marco and his new allies.
"This battle would have gone very differently if you would have listened to me General!" Marco was pissed that he wasn't given commanding authority over the skirmish. "THOSE MEN DIED FOR NOTHING TODAY SIR!" Spitting out the last word in disgust.
"Watch your tone Lieutenant… identify your Corporal." The Genera knew he was wrong with the battle plans, but he be damn if he let a human know that.
"Sir, this is Corporal Asuka Langley Soryu… she wasn't part of the initial attack, but proved that she can be relied on!" The Jinko Warrior looks over at him in disbelief on how he spoke to their superior.
"I see, what does a human such as yourself know of commanding his own troops? We can barely call ourselves an Army with the distrust and hatred over each clan we have assembled." The General gripped his battleaxe wondering why he was even entertaining the idea.
"Sir, give me the status of Commander and I assure you victory. I've lived among each one of these clans and fought beside them, I'm more than sure I can make them stronger and most of all… work together with each other having the same common goal to crush and defeat our enemies!" The fire in his eyes were roaring.
"Humans… such an odd specimen in the multiverse, I'll give you a thousand of our least desirable recruits. You have one month to make good on your promise and then to the front lines, if you fail, I'll behead you myself." The General had grown to like Marco over the last year and wished the best for him in his own way.
He smiled at Asuka in a 'I told you so' fashion. Just before the The General showed up, they were in the middle of a fist fight with each other.
"Also, she's to be you Executive Officer, we have been meaning to mix up our Chain of Command with different types of beings." The General could feel that they hated each other before he came to them. "This should be fun for the Reaper!"
"SIR! PLEASE LET ME GO BACK TO MY PEOPLE! THIS HUMAN IS ARROGANT AND IS SURE TO KILL US ALL!" Asuka hated being on the same ground with Marco. They had met a few times on the battlefield and it always end with a lot of dead bodies around them, then they would go at it with each other to the point they had to be pulled off from one another.
"Major… it has been a very long day and I have to lay rest my brothers, get over your issues with each other right now of die by my axe. The choice is yours." His face had become extremely tired and was ready to leave.
"Ye… yes Sir… as you wish!" Asuka and Marco locked their heels in a 45° angle, then made a fist with their right hand and shapely placed it over their heart to salute him.
"As you were." Then The General walked away.
"Congratulations there Major on the promotion, we have much work to be done!" Marco gave her a goofy smile knowing she couldn't say no.
Between her teeth and a look ready to murder him she responded with, "Yes, Sir"
As they were walking away together, "You know I can have you executed for that look you just gave me, right?" He was joking, but it was a serious matter when it comes to respecting the Officers appointed above you.
Asuka was a Warrior from the moment she could remember and it was instilled in her to always fight to the death as well following her leaders to hell and back. "My apologies Commander, it shall not happen again!"
The past they shared together didn't make it easy on now working as a team and leading a new unit. The problem was either he was calling for backup too much or her team wasn't being used enough to change the tide of the battle.
Marco was able to come up with the plans to make sure everything would be taking care of, but then she would crash them and destroy everything, even the objectives they were supposed to capture. Constantly insulting each other was their norm that would always end up with them being pulled apart.
One thing that couldn't be denied was the fact when they were together on the battlefield, friend or foe would fear them alike. Even in the heat of battle surrounded by enemies, they would duel each other and kill anything or anyone near them.
Many field reports ended by them having most of the battle kills and hospitalizing one another.
They swore to each other that, neither was allowed to die until the other killed them. The General had read most of the reports but was never able to find out who she was, he knew she had to be a handful to piss off Reaper.
Asuka was the only person that didn't fear Reaper that which many people have named Marco. She wanted to prove to them all that he was just a man and could bleed just like them, her anger drove her on wanting to defeat him.
Marco never paid much mind to her unless she would call him out, that's when he would have to show her what he was made of. Just like many others that thought he was just a human, ended with his foot on their throat or dead. She was the only one that would keep on coming after him and he enjoyed their game, just like the one he played with Hekapoo.
She was always on his mind and wanted nothing more to finish up their game, but he couldn't leave theses people to be slaughtered. He came to respect them and owe them for all the knowledge they shared with him. He learned that he was an amazing tactician even when staring down at utter failure.
One Week Later
The land that was given to Reaper was poor and even worst was his Army. All types of beings that for the most part were enemies to each other, but he used that hatred to motivate them. His first order was to make a battle arena so his men could work out their issues in a constructive way.
Simple rules were in place such as:
No weapons
1 vs 1
You keep fighting until you can't stand anymore
No one is to be killed
That was pretty much it, but as with anything in this world, there were those that would always push the limits. When that would happen, Marco would enter the ring himself and deal with the individual. In his 27 years of being alive, the bigger they were, the harder they fell was what he lived by.
Almost everyone in his Battalion knew the Reaper and many have fought beside him at one time or another. If he didn't have their respect, then taking it wasn't a big deal for him. He always assured their importance to him after turning their face into goo.
"You did it again didn't you?" Why was Asuka even asking a question like that when she was sewing his right eyebrow back together?
"I had too, that son of a bitch had brass knuckles?!" She pokes him hard with the needle now.
"Ouch… take it easy there kitten!" He knew saying this would get her started.
"THAT'S IT!" She kicks him in the chest now flipping him over on the chair he was just sitting on. What she didn't know was that he held on to her foot as she was sent across the room.
"I thought you were getting soft with your new rank!" Then he starts to squirt her with the water bottle in his hand.
"I'M NOT A FUCKING CAT YOU BASTARD!?" She lashes out at him with her claws cutting his shirt.
"YOU JUST RUINED MY NEW SHIRT RIGHT MEOW!" He didn't care about the shirt, he just wanted to say meow.
From outside his quarters, everyone could hear them go at it. Four men were outside, "On three"
Rock
Paper
Scissors
SHOOT!
"Damn it, man… this is the third time in a row we had to go in there and break them up!" The losing two man team slowly went into the room as the other two waved at them.
