-๑-๑ ஜ ๑- Chapter 13: Kill them all, will you? -๑ ஜ ๑-๑-
-Shizuo´s point of view.-
Jumping, threatening it was reaching for the soldiers in the air as if it were fishing for prey. One after the other was grabbed, pulled down, like a spider the monster kept plucking them out of the sky like a spider in a net.
Screams were to be heard all around, some of desperation, some of utter excitement- everything around the blond had turned into pure chaos. People were yelling words to each other, words that got swallowed by gurgling sounds not a second later- it made the blond cringe, frown, want to cover his ears-
He had expected the death, he had expected that he was going to see people get killed by titans, and yet he hadn't seen it coming at all- with this intense feeling of finality and doom.
"ALL OF YOU RETREAT!" it was Izaya's voice that broke through the air, snapping Shizuo out of his trance like state. Right-
He had to get away-
Glancing to his right he wanted to plug the wire he had shot out of that tree- he had to get up there, up into the trees where the monsters couldn't grasp him- but then his sight fell on a guy.
Blue haired, just a few years younger perhaps- he was kneeling on the ground. In his hands-
"Brother…" the head of the guy that had just gotten killed. Shizuo felt his stomach lurch and twist- he was torn between throwing up right there and then and slapping the thing out of that boy's hands-
"He is dead!" harsh, loud, making the kid flinch hard he looked up at the blond, with eyes that Shizuo had never seen.
So blank, so expressionless so- dead.
And suddenly the earth shook- harsh, violently, Shizuo found himself grasping the tree in order to not fall down as his heart skipped a beat. There it was- right next to them.
Grinning widely, those blank white teeth grinning and those horrifying eyes resting on no one but the blond. And suddenly time just seemed to stop. Shizuo couldn't move, couldn't do anything but stare at the monster that was right in front of him. The yelling was still heard all around them, more and more titans were entering the scene- it were too many, too fucking many-
The grip on his blade tightened, almost broke the metal as his head went crazy in a moment of utter panic- there was a titan hand, already coming heather, reaching for him-
It was going to get him- but it did not.
Jerking, groaning the creature suddenly snapped his head back, those eyes rolling in various directions as if they had developed a life on their own as the arm came to a screeching halt, digging into the earth instead.
Heart thumping out of his chest the blond still stood there, eyes wide, not getting what had happened-
"What are you doing?!" Raven hair, a glint of red eyes was suddenly right in front of him, bringing him back to reality-
"Izaya-" the flea- it had been the flea- the realization struck him like lightning, only now he even noticed that clean cut that had appeared at the monster's neck. Izaya must have cut it, killed it-
And now he was standing right in front of him, expression stern, hands tightened on his blades and stance tense-
"Do you want to die?! Think about your brother god damnit!" he yelled, almost screamed- if Shizuo didn't know it better he would have almost said the raven looked somewhat desperate.
Wait- his brother?
But snapping his head around Izaya could already hear another thumping sound approaching the two- another titan, middle class- With a click of his tongue the raven took of into the air, those wires shooting into the trees and branches as he dashed towards the monster. His teeth were grit as he felt his blades sink into the monster's neck- once- it was still groaning- twice,as fast as lightning- and the titan crashed into the ground-
Turning his neck he cast a glance towards the blond- that stupid imbecile-
Izaya couldn't blame Shizu-chan, rationally thinking he had not the slightest right to- not after what the blond had already seen. Not while knowing this was the first time Shizu-chan saw a titan out to kill him after what happened with his brother.
And yet Izaya´s mind almost went mad with anger when he caught a glimpse of the blond- frozen- just standing there, yelling at a guy that had obviously already gone nuts instead of doing as he had told him to and just get the fuck away.
Harsh, sharp, flying up into the air his blades sunk into another titan´s neck.
Again his head snapped around- he was behaving dangerous- not Shizu-chan, no, but Izaya himself.
He felt like scolding himself- he had thought taking the blond with him would be okay, would be no problem, after all he could defend himself, and he wasn't going to try and protect random assholes that just wanted to die fighting titans- and yet now he realized the gravity of this battle. Of his actions.
Because he couldn't stop looking for the blond- couldn't stop that clutching feeling of ice resurfacing every moment he did not have his eyes on the blond. Every agonizing moment he didn't see the blond it just felt as though he was already dead.
Already another dead blood splotch on the floor.
Wires digging themselves into a tree not too far from him he got pulled towards the branch- quick, smooth he landed on it, pulled the wires up, his gaze travelling right pst a titan that was rushing for him and back to the blond instead.
Relief was washing over him as the brute had finally started to move. The kid was still sitting there, clutching something bloody from what Izaya could see- but to his utter relief Shizu-chan wasn't trying to save the kid or drag him anywhere. He was fumbling with his gear, shooting one of those wires into the tree next to him.
Brutish, clumsy he crashed into the bark only to shoot the other wire and pull himself up into the tree.
Finally.
"HNARRGHG-!" startled the raven flinched, his eye darting to the right as there was already another titan, seemingly having spotted the all to pleasantly close meal as it reached for Izaya with those gruesome disgusting fingers of his. The wires shooting out left and right instantly the raven slipped out of its grasp, and dashed to another tree- then another, and another- until he was on the other side of the clearing. The titan had lost track of him, was searching on the ground now as if it had expected its meal to have dropped down there.
His fingers digging into the stem of the tree he was standing on, the raven glanced to his left. Blond hair was visible from beneath a couple leaves not too far from him and just for a short moment Shizu-chan´s and his gaze met.
Izaya nodded, simply executed that single action, but the blond got the order nonetheless.
Stay where you are.
That had been all the raven was ordering him to.
Another titan was rushing for the raven- screaming, running as though it had already broken both its legs.
It was only now that Izaya noticed that the screams and cheers of the people that had surrounded them, were gone.
Entirely and completely. Blotches of red were decorating the ground, bodies of dead titans that were starting to dissolve.
Screaming another titan was reaching for the raven as he shot that wire into its flesh, using the titan itself as a support to dash past it.
Cut- cut-
And the titan was dead.
Screeching and groaning was still filling the air and Izaya turned his head only to spot two more.
Only two.
From as far he could see it were the last of them.
Only these two were running around still.
Swinging his blade, drops of blood were shoot from the tip of his weapon. Hot and crimson it splashed to the ground as the raven flew up to the first titan´s neck. Just these two, only these and they were going to be done.
Izaya tried to ignore the silence, tried to ignore the knowledge that nearly all of his soldiers had died within a matter of minutes again.
Feeling the cold steel rip through flesh he brought it down a second time- and the titan fell. Together with the flea they both landed on the ground.
The dirty, dirty red ground.
Grasping his blades left and right the raven turned, facing the last of the assholes. It was small, way too tiny compared to the monsters he had already defeated. It was nothing compared to the abnormal he killed before.
Crouching down he got ready to head up for it, head for the last of them-
Only to feel his heart stop- stop.
Just then.
Right there.
From the corners of his eyes he already saw it, he saw it before his brain could make sense of the beige colour that was suddenly blocking his view.
Round, four from the right, one from the left-
Gasping for air the raven tried to not choke right then and there as the immense grip, the tight pain of a titan´s fingers clenching around his body forced all air out of his lungs.
From behind- there had been one more- one more titan that he hadn't noticed- crawling on the ground, silent like none of the others he hadn't seen it coming, he hand´t-
He tried to shoot his wire, but not chance- the mechanism was blocked by those disgusting titan´s fingers. He had a blade at hand- ready to strike- but strike what?
The titan´s face?
Maybe inflict a scratch on his face?
He didn't have the strength nor the speed to damage the titan.
Feeling himself being risen into the air panic was assaulting his brain thinking he was going to get eaten now, but oh not yet it seemed as the titan suddenly brought him back to the ground. With force- too much force- too much speed-
Izaya had no time to even bend his knees or do anything at all as the creature forced him into the earth-
The choked sound of a pained scream was dangling from his lips when he felt his legs give out under the immense power of that titan's hand- sickening cracking was filling the air and for just a single moment the raven could see nothing but black as pain of extreme intensity shot through his veins blinding out every single thing surrounding him.
Trembling Izaya´s grip tightened on the blade resting inside his grasp- he had no idea how he had even managed to hold onto it.
And yet…
Heavy breathing spilling from his lips he could only narrow his eyes at the destruction he saw.
The titan was looking at the raven, seemingly inspecting him, but Izaya didn't even care what it was doing. It was useless.
Over.
With his legs like that- they had no chance. even if he managed to kill this titan- his legs were both broken if not damaged beyond repair.
And right now, outside the wall- this far away...
He could see the blood around them, he could see countless body parts tossed to the ground, disappearing in the other titan's throat, after all there was one more.
One?
Hah, no.
He could already hear them, from afar. More of them coming.
And with him being immobile- without being able to move... he was practically dead.
Just that one moment, the mistake of not checking his backside- had finally sealed his fate.
One last time he glanced towards the tree he had last seen Shizu-chan in. Hoping to see him sit there still, and just not move. But he didn't see him.
No, not in that tree at least.
Grinning, groaning there were two more titans surrounding it now- one of them having clutched the blond in his hand just like Izaya was.
"You fucking-!" swearing, frowning the blond was pulling his arms free from that titan's grasp- groaning, complaining it was staring at its prey, not even minding it seemingly when Shizuo forced two of those fingers apart- a sicking knack filling the air that lead the blond to conclude he had just broken that damn titan´s fingers.
But what now?
Shizuo´s mind was going crazy- seeing that gigantic jaw right in front of his face- he had nothing to attack the titan with- his blades had dropped, those wires were useless- he had nothing but his bare hands! How the hell was he supposed to kill a titan with his bare hands?!
"SHIZU-CHAN-"
But before Shizuo could locate the source of the voice there was a gleam of metal rushing past his face.
Loud and intense the titan roared as the weapon embedded itself into its eye.
It was one of the titan blades!
Without losing another second his hands slipped around that blade- pulling it from the titan´s head. Blood splattered everywhere, onto the blond as well, but he couldn't give a single fuck about that right then and there as he brought down the blade on the titan´s throat.
His neck- he knew it was his neck that he needed to cut- but to hell if that strength of his wasn't good for something-
Seemingly without any effort at all he moved that sharp piece of metal from the right- to the left.
Simply.
Easily.
Like a knife going through butter the head of the titan flew off. Gurgling sounds were leaving its head as though it hadn't yet realized it was dead before the head crashed into the ground with a sickening thud.
The hand lost its grasp- the blond dropped back to the ground, landing right on his ass- but he was free!
Relief washing over him despite the tremors still shaking him with adrenaline he looked around- knowing that it had been Izaya who tossed him the blade.
He expected to see him coming down next to him, maybe finish off one more titan before doing so-
But no.
There was a smile a triumphant smile decorating Shizuo´s face despite the odds- but it was slipping, and changing into one of utter horror within a fraction of a second.
The second he spotted the raven.
Blood was dripping from Izaya´s forehead, dripping from his legs sticking out from the other end of that disgusting fist. And the titan it belonged to had already opened his jaw.
Wide.
Horrifying.
The titan´s head was tilted back- Izaya was just above it, facing what he could only describe as his own end- but Izaya's attention was only on Shizu-chan as his lips moved once more.
Time seemed to stand still, the noises around them blackened out as Shizuo watched the matter of seconds in horror.
"Kill them all, will you?" and with that the raven was dropped inside the titan´s jaw.
