"Bronya. Get ready to capture Mei Raiden."
"Roger."
A short female with silver-gray hair, tied up in a double pigtails/drill shape that reaches her shoulder by using 2 black and white polka dot bow ties, sighs as she disconnects from a call with another female. She looks down at the people walking down on the pavement from her skyscraper.
"…I am sorry everyone… But this is all to bring Seele back…"
After a weekend of staying inside Hachiman's room where Hachiman, Kiana, and Mei play around, laze, and other stuff.
It is now Monday and the trio were on their way to school… Well, that was the plan.
"Oi! Get away from her!" Kiana shouts as she bulldozes her way through a crowd of students, who are shouting curses and profanities, while holding onto Hachiman's hand.
"I told you that letting her go to school this soon was a bad idea Kiana!" She barely hears his words amidst the shouting from the students, prompting her to glance back to see him glaring in front of her.
She looks back to the front while yelling, "Zip it! I didn't expect us to be instantly swarmed by people and separated from Mei before we even entered the place!"
"Almost there…!" With a final push that sends a bunch of students to the ground, she arrives in the middle of the crowd to see Mei being harassed by them, "Oi! Stay away from her!"
Kiana knocks all of them back from Mei, who has her eyes closed and small tears leaking through. The former stands protectively with her arms spread to protect the latter.
"Take one more step and I will send you flying." She cracks her fingers and her neck while glaring at them.
Hachiman, who had fallen down after getting caught by somebody's hand, quickly comes to Mei's side, "Come on, we'll go back to my place." He holds her hand and tries to drag her.
Mei opens her eyes, with her eyes showing the same ruby color, yet this time a quarter of her eyes show the color, "No, Hachiman… We should just kill all of them…" Her voice takes on a distorted tone while she shows a manic smile at him, which scares the hell out of the nearby students and him.
He widens his eyes at her, "Nonononono, no killing anybody! This isn't –"
Series of explosions happen at the school, instantly causing everybody to look but swiftly run away to avoid getting caught in the explosions, all the while pushing everyone else out of their way.
"Come on you two! We need to run!" He shouts at Kiana then tries to pull Mei with him, yet the latter doesn't move, "Mei…?"
Mei looks at him with her eyes being their original color then pushes him away, "Run…" She mutters before her eyes fully turn ruby and screams.
Hachiman reaches out to her, "Meeeiii!" Before covering his face as a blast of wind hits him that sends him into a car, instantly sending him to the ground.
"Hachiman!" Kiana shouts as she sees his body go limp before looking at Mei, who is looking at her with a blank face, "Mei! What is wrong with you!"
"Humans… I will exterminate every single one of you!" Mei screams to the sky, then her left hand slowly turns purple with white lines suddenly appearing in an unknown pattern. 5 mechanical wings come out from her upper arm that shreds her skirt, though it hangs by a thin thread which covers her modesty and reveals a symbol near her waist.
Then, a pink mist slowly condenses around Mei, which only gets bigger and bigger until… It erupts, spreading the mist everywhere, prompting Kiana to quickly run away and hide behind a car that the driver abandoned.
She notices a nearby student, who was too slow to react, trips and falls onto his knees. He looks at the pink mist with fear before being engulfed by it. Few minutes later, his appearance drastically changed with his eyes showing a hot pink color.
She closes her eyes as she waits for anything to happen to her yet opens them to see that she is perfectly fine.
"Warning! Warning! Unknown signature detected! Moving to engage!"
Kiana blinks as she hears a robotic sound coming from the end of the road, which reveals multiple mechs approaching them. As they get closer, she can see the insignia of a broken infinity, showing that they are Anti-Entropy mechs.
Mei looks at the mechs with contempt, "Disgusting." She lifts her right hand at them to shoot out purple lightning and on hit, instantly disables the mechs with the rest opening fire on her.
Kiana notices Hachiman, who still looks normal, on the ground with the mechs fast approaching him, making her get out of her hiding spot to run at him while dodging the bullets and lightning in the air.
Once she reaches his body, she grabs him and instantly throws him and her out of the way of an incoming mech. They skid against the rough pavement for a while before stopping.
"Hachiman! Please wake up!" She tries to shake him awake but stops as she sees a trail of blood coming from his back head, "Shit…" She rips apart her sleeves to clumsily wrap it around his head.
"Damn it… Hachiman, I really need you to wake up right now! We need to save Mei before the mechs get her!"
"This Bronya will take the subject Mei Raiden now."
Kiana blinks as she hears an unknown voice from above, prompting her to look up to see a female with silver-gray hair wearing a battle suit.
"What…?" She mutters before widening her eyes, "Oh hell no you midget! You aren't taking Mei from us!"
Bronya looks down then narrows her eyes, "This Bronya would like to see you try, idiotka."
A flying mech interrupts their stare off, which almost collides with Bronya, prompting them to look at Mei glaring at them while holding a mech arm in her hand.
"…This Bronya will let you take the lead."
"Oh you bitch."
"Ow, ow, ow… My head hurts…" Hachiman slowly opens his eyes while getting into a sit position, then he rubs his head, "Blood…?"
He then widens his eyes, "Mei!" He looks around, only to see Kiana and an unknown female with a huge half body mech behind her having a stare off with Mei.
All 3 of them sport various amounts of injuries, though Kiana and the female have more severe injuries than Mei.
He slowly gets up, forcing himself through the pain with his eyes starting to water, to make his way over to them, "MEI! KIANA!" He shouts, getting the attention of all of them.
"Hachiman! Don't come here!" Kiana tries to stop him but raises her hand to block a sudden gust of wind hitting her face. Looking back at Hachiman, she sees Mei holding his neck with a murderous glare.
"Me-Mei…?" He spits out as he feels his neck getting crushed, though he finds it in himself to stare directly into Mei's eyes, "Ple-please… No…" A tear leaks out from his eyes that hits her arm.
A bright light emerges from Mei's hand, which causes everyone to close their eyes or cover them with their hands. He feels the arm slowly loosen its hold on him until it releases him, making him fall onto his butt yet he doesn't open his eyes as he sees the light still glowing bright through his eyelids.
Then, the light slowly dims down, until it finally disappears. Hachiman slowly opens his eyes to see Mei lying on the ground with her eyes closed and arm back to normal with no wings coming out from it.
He falls onto his back, though Kiana suddenly appears next to him and catches him, "I'm… Just going back to sleep, Kiana…" He tiredly mutters then slowly closes his eyes while blocking out her words.
The last thing he sees is a massive flying ship coming into view above him then darkness.
*A...N*
So, we are moving onto the school arc now! And welp, changed lots of things from my original plan of Mei turning into a Herrscher, mostly due to me suddenly forgetting how to describe the scenes (thanks a lot brain.). To be honest, I can just fix this all up into a neat and tidy structures then post it the next day... But I don't like to write during the day times. Anyway on to the comments!
XianYun - thank you
calderoneric758 - I'll say it's like 30% of happening
bluecookie420 - yep
Renashi-RE012 - here is your expectation on The Nagazora zombification. Let me just say that, I go to sleep with the expectation that it will be my last night because of some medical issues, so I try to write everything that I want during my 1-7 am schedule (more like writing just takes 1-2 hour to finish lol). If you guys are fine with no updates for what? 10 days-ish for 10k words a chapter and lots of people want it, then I'll see what I can do.
GoldStar77 - thank you. I'm sure you'll be in one hell of a ride if you stick around, and regarding the complaint, please read the above statement. For the last one, no spoilers
