So anyway this is the second chapter.
To be honest I was surprised that you guys out there in the infinite cyberspace like my story.
I know that there are or may always be spelling mistakes, the way and from which perspective the characters interact may be scatchy at best, and my use of this guy here (,,,,,,,,) yeah that one, might not be the most appropriate in places that I put them (am not sure how its called actually comma I guess?), and I may be making up words here and there or it probably wont make sense to a born English speaker,like for example "I think I spider" or "don't walk me on the cookie" stuff like that makes perfect sense to me a native german speaker but for you guys it wont.
And I'm probably using a lot of words often, that's cause I sometimes have to wreck my brain to find a fitting one and my vocabulary isn't the biggest out there.
But if you like the story you'll probably be able to put up with these things.
At first I started writing this down cause I was stoned and had too much time on my hand in a foreign country and just punched everything on my phone cause my PC was broken at the time.
Now I'm back in AUSTRIA (not Australia we exist way longer as a nation) and realized that this is actually a good way to keep my English nice and fluent.
I'm no writer, by no means do I have the qualifications for this, I earn my money by saving people from starvation (Cook or Chef whatever you may call it), but I have heaps of imagination so much that people look at me funny when I'm drifting of to my little world.
My most humble gratitude.
I don't own anything of halo and sekirei.
Chapter 2:
Chief and Karasuba:
After that little episode that John went through with Karasuba, he had righted her up, with him standing in front of her and was now staring at her, trying to find out how he should approach the subject at hand. Deciding to keep it simple he shrugged to himself and just went for it. "Now answer my question from before, what are you?"
Karasuba still in her disheveled state but sitting upright again shrugged. "I'm a Sekirei." Seeing that her Ashikabi couldn't make heads or tails out of her answer she kept going. "We're Aliens."
Karasuba studied her Ashikabi for a moment, looking for signs of surprise, which was a fools notion she realized shortly. Having lived through the vision she had, she wasn't surprised by his stone face which she would later on learn, was his default expression. Obviously he wouldn't react like all the other disgusting humans that found this fact out, having lived through what John had and presumably having seen just a small percentage of his life, she wasn't really surprised.
Thinking of the vision Karasuba led out a slight moan and rubbed her knees together, receiving an odd look from John. Seeing that stuff was bliss, the slaughtering, butchering, the maiming, this senseless violence. Thinking back to the invasion on Kamikura Island and comparing it to the vision, it was child's play. Like the stuff little toddlers do. Recalling the emotions she experienced back then and recalling what she had felt during the vision she wasn't sure anymore what had excited her more. Reality or Johns memories. Well she would find out when she'd be able to butcher some other weak bitch.
Seeing John looking at her weirdly Karasuba kept going with her explanation. "Us Sekirei came to Earth to look for our Ashikabi, our destined one, our soul mate if you so will. After one of us finds that person we perform a bond with them that links our souls together. Its quite noticeable too if you know its there. Right now when I focus on it I can already begin to feel your emotions, the most noticeable are sadness and confusion."
Not sure what to make of this revelation he decided to keep going in default mode. "Where is your ship and how many of you are there?"
Karasuba was kind of peeved that she wasn't able to get a reaction out of John, she started to get annoyed that he was seemingly taking everything in stride, even the bond which she still thought of useless. "Our ship crashed and is now under the protection of MBI, which you nicely turned into your enemy by the way ." Baiting John for a reaction again but his eyebrow didn't even twitch. "How many of your kind are on this planet?" John continued unperturbed. "I'm not telling you." Came Karasubas snide answer, following up further her passive face twisted up. "They are my problem not yours, an Ashikabi isn't allowed to fight us anyway, its against the stupid ass rules Minaka set up."
Seeing Karasuba stopping to comply with him, Johns form still looming over her sitting form, he reached for his Boltshot located on his hip, grabbing its handle and drawing the pistol, it assembled itself and started aiming it at Karasubas leg the weapon glowing in its familiar orange glow as it slightly began to hum. "Answer the question." John spoke in a calm voice.
"Your not going to shoot me." Karasuba stated lazily with certainty in her voice, when suddenly a shot rang out and pierced her thigh, the searing hot hard light going through, cauterized the wound and passed through the floor of the warehouse office.
Karasuba through her head back and screamed out in agony. "FUCK, FUCK, FUCK you seriously shot me, you old fuck." Getting over the pain she brought her head back down and found a smoking barrel aimed at her head. Knowing now that John would go through with it if she would dare him further and remembering her true aim of being the strongest Sekirei out there, she resigned herself to just answering. Damn John better watch his back, she wouldn't forgive him this for a while. "Fine, fine there are 108 of us concentrated in this city, nowhere else on the planet. Are you the fuck satisfied now!?" John shrugged and made a hand motion signaling her to continue. Karasuba sighed. "These 108 are meant to participate in a death game after all 108 are winged. The winging is what we did earlier on to bond our souls together, you know before you decided to FUCKING SHOOT ME!" Karasuba yelled deciding to get her point across, fucker should feel himself lucky that she didn't have her sword anymore, otherwise he'd be missing a limp now. Ignoring her outburst Chief questioned further. "What happens to the winner, and the people in the city during the game?"
"MBI almost owns the entire city, and swapped the regular police forces out with its own private army to deal with commotions and minimize casualties the disgusting humans in the city might have. Ya know MBI is an international company with eyes and ears everywhere. So there is no escaping the city should an Ashikabi and Sekirei try for that. Traffic is monitored at all times, every communication is tabbed and listened into, satellites have an eye on the ground at all times through out the city. I'm actually surprised that they haven't found us yet."
Hearing this John answered. "I have my ways, now keep going."
Karasuba shook her head. "Alright, so anyway the Ashikabi that wins with his Sekirei or flock," seeing him stare again Karasuba elaborated, "an Ashikabi can have more than one Sekirei bonded to him and my gut tells me that your gonna have a few, which I already hate by the way." Receiving no comment to her statement she went on. "They ascend to what ever, nobody really knows whats going to happen, only that crazy ass fool Minaka knows what is to come. So anyway where are we going to stay for the night? I'm getting tired by all this."
John who had holstered his boltshot a little while ago picked up his helmet and sealed it back on with an audible hiss. "There is no we."
John turned away from Karasuba and was about to leave the warehouses and find a secluded area where he could camp out and sort through his thoughts, when he heard Karasuba yell after him.
"To hell with that, you know what they'll do to me, I'm probably going to dissected or something to find out what winged me." John turned back to Karasuba and looked at her, how she got out of the chair, already released from her bindings and started straightening out her black dress and gray coat, not even in the slightest favoring her good leg. She reached into one of her coat pockets and pulled a hairband out to fix her disheveled hair. Opening her eyes John could feel the blood lust coming off of her through the bond probably, only now getting aware that something like that actually existed. Karasuba got her bloodthirsty grin back and spoke. "Oh well I think I actually might like that, can you imagine how much I'm going to make these pigs that you love so much squeal as I butcher them when they try to touch me?"
Now that put John into an uncomfortable position. He didnt really feel like having that lunatic around, but letting her go could end up in a lot of people dyeing. Well not really innocent ones but quite unfortunate ones that were just doing their job. So he kinda was stuck with her, and he didn't really want to kill her, do to the high quality information that was still in her head. Watching John contemplate
brought a grin to Karasubas face, although she couldn't see his face anymore she at least knew he was doing so, if his silence was anything to go by.
John seeing Karasubas grin sighed mentally and asked. "What do you have in mind?"
"Well I know that I'm going to hate this even more but there is this place in the north of the city MBI doesn't dare to enter. It shouldn't be too far from here, if my guess is right that we are in the industrial area by the harbor. If we want to get there unnoticed we should be there in the morning." That being said Karasuba moved past the chief and walked out of the office, down the stairs and towards the gate of the warehouses, stopping to turn around and see if the Chief had followed her. When she saw him just two steps behind her she was quite surprised that she didn't hear his steps, which should be difficult giving his weight and size. Trying to make eye contact with him trough his golden visor she voiced her thoughts. "Do you have a way to stay hidden or something, because we'll have to move through a few crowded places to keep the satellites of us." Hearing this John used his neural interface to activate his active camouflage system and disappeared in front of Karasubas eyes.
Seeing John shimmer out of existence Karasuba said. "Well I didn't see that one coming."
"Lead the way." Came Johns order in his raspy voice, unknowingly causing an exciting shiver to run down Karasubas voice.
"Well of we go, try to keep up I dont feel like looking for some invisible old dude." And with that Karasuba stormed of into into the night.
Sometime earlier at Maison Izumo
After seeing the Meteor pass overhead in the afternoon, Miya had gone straight away to Matsu to find out what happened. Matsu always the informed one, was already pulling up different angles of the object that had burned through the sky.
Matsu heard the door opening behind her, already knowing Miya was on her way due to the many cameras she had installed throughout the little inn, she spoke up. "Hey Miya, perfect timing. I'm pretty sure that you want to know what is going on out there."
"That's right Matsu. So what have you found out already? Miya responded while she took a seat next to Matsu.
"Alright, earlier on I was snooping around MBI's networks for a bit when I noticed another intruder in the system downloading massive amounts of data with unreal speed. So I got curious and searched for the location from which the hack had started. When I found out, at first I didn't believe what I was seeing. The Hack was initiated directly on a satellite of MBI. Thinking that it was impossible for someone to be up there, I used a different satellite to have a look at what was being done up there." While Matsu said that she already brought up pictures of the hacked satellite which depicted some one in futuristic green armor hanging onto it, with the remains of some unknown red anomaly illuminating the howl scene. It looked unreal. "I have no clue how this person got up there but the kicker is, that the meteor that we saw earlier, was that person." Punching another button a small window popped up on the screen, with a video playing of that showed how the person in the green armor push of the satellite with all his might and head towards earth.
Stunned at seeing a potential suicide attempt, Miya spoke up. "So what happened that has you so excited at watching someone trying to kill themselves?"
"Well after the person here entered the atmosphere and crashed through some skyscrapers, MBI didnt take long to arrive on the scene with the Disciplinary Squad showing up a little bit later. They even sent Karasuba there so they must want answers pretty badly."
"If the person hasn't died already, I'm pretty sure that he's dead now with Karasuba there." Miya said frowning.
"Well your gonna be surprised even more now. MBI locked up the scene and sent the disciplinary squad in to investigate, I don't have any information of what happened inside but shortly after MBI lost the signal of Karasubas tracking chip, and Benitsubasa and Haihane were transported of injured and unconscious. The reports say that they found signs of a fight with Karasuba nowhere in sight."
"Are you telling me that this person is stronger then Karasuba and defeated her?" Miya asked, slightly perturbed that someone was out there that could defeat a Sekirei Oh she was worried for her little birds.
"Well as I said, I don't know what happened in there, but I'll keep snooping around for a bit." Replied Matsu.
Hearing this Miya got up and straighted out her yukata, and began walking to the door, while saying. "Do that Matsu, something tells me we're about to experience some harsh times here in Maison Izumo."
A few hours had passed and Miya was currently preparing dinner for her tenants Uzume, and Homura who also went by the name of Karagi when doing his job. Both of whom were currently sitting in the living room chat away animatedly about what had happened in the afternoon. Both of them stopped their conversation when Miya called out of the kitchen. "Dinner is ready, Uzume come and help me place the dishes on the table will you." Uzume got up and went into the kitchen and moments later showed up with a few sets of chopsticks and bowls, and placed them on their usual spots on the table. Sitting down on her usual spot Uzume started gossiping with Homura again. "Man I'd love to know what the commotion was all about today, Homura did Takami tell you anything about today?" Homura having moved to an upright position for dinner replied. "No she hasn't called me yet, which is weird, usually I'm one of the first ones to know what is going on, she must be pretty busy right now."
"Now, now both of you don't worry I'm pretty sure all of this is probably wrapped up already, now stop the chattering and start eating the food will get cold." Placated Miya as she joined them at the table. Seeing everybody starting to dig in, Miya began to eat too her posture as regal as ever.
A few minutes past when they started to hear a commotion upstairs. It didn't take long until the door to the living room was slammed open, with Matsu standing in the door out of breath. When Matsu had calmed down a little she spoke with a serious voice, shocking everyone. "Karasuba has just been winged. Ashikabi unknown."
The eyes of the three that occupied the room widened. What the hell was going on out there.
