Prisoner; Beware of Kema!
Authors note: This chapter switches between Kema's and Kid's POV a lot! (This will be the last chapter for a while because of work! Sorry!)
Kema's POV
I take a deep breath before walking into the circle, most people who were at the battle were here. Maka, Soul, Black Star, Tsubaki, Sid, Spirit, Lord Death and Nygus. Stein was absent since I told him of the mission, he deserved to know and he understood. Kid was absent for obvious reasons.
''Took you long enough'' Spirit said coldly
I put on the best smile I can ''Hello to you too Spirit''
''We need to discuss your new... position'' Lord Death said
''I also have something we need to discuss aswell afterwards'' I smile
''What about Kid? Is he okay?'' Maka says quickly
''He wasn't with you?'' I say, adding a bit of shock to my voice.
''No he... went after you shortly before the building began to collapse'' Maka said
''What?! You don't think he...?''
''We hope not'' Sid said in a low tone
Kid's POV
Nothing seems to work. Shooting the wall only makes the shot bounce around the room until it ricochets back to me, shootiing the glass results in the same thing. I had run out of ideas so I try to remember all the best moments with my friends when I remember my father. Tall and proud in front of the mirror, the old mirror.
It hits me then: I can call my father! He can send help! I'm so happy at the thought I almost yell out about it which would ruin the whole point of it. I sit up from the bed and get to my feet causing Patty and Liz to wake aswell, they get up with me and I turn to them and put my finger over my mouth to silence them. I walk up to the metal door and silently smile as the boy from earlier 'Ryan' is on duty, which I can use to my advantage.
''Excuse me?'' I ask and he turns to face me ''Could I have some water?''
''Sure, give me a minute'' He said and walked off, I instantly breath hot breath onto the glass and it fogs up. I write in the code for my father and the glass sends sound waves about the glass. My father will be here soon enough to save me, if I'm not too late.
Kema's POV
Suddenly the mirror behind Lord Death begins to beep, indicating someone calling him. Shit, it cant be can it? But he was in a cell with no mirror. The only glass is the window on the door and someone is always by the door. I stare at the mirror and Kid's face comes into view with Liz and Patty behind him, my heart drops.
''Kid! We were so-'' Maka starts
''No time! DO NOT TRUST KEMA! She is part of Sentinel! DO NOT TRUST HER!'' He shouts and my heart drops even further
Maka turns to me ''What does he mean?''
Before I can dig up an excuse Kid speaks again ''I'm trapped at Sentinel Forward-operating base! She locked me here! DO NOT TRUST HER!''
''Yeah! She injected him with something too and went all sleepy before throwing him down some stairs into this cell!'' Patty chimed in happily, oblivious to the fact she was trapped.
''Kema?!'' Sid's voice shouted ''What is the meaning of this?''
''Damn you Kid'' I said angrily but couldn't help but smile ''If I knew you were going to be this much trouble I would've got you moved into the lower cells''
''Kema? Who are you?!'' Maka screamed as Soul transformed into her hand
''Sorry, this is the real me. It has been for the past decade'' I smirk but back up slowly before reaching my hand out to the side before a blue grenade appears in my hand.
''You traitor! Your just like Justin Law!'' Maka screams and charges at me, I quickly throw the blue grenade at her feet and it explodes on impact. She is knocked back but doesn't really affect her but what does affect is Soul, who is forced back into human form. I turn and run down the halls and hear Lord Death shouting me in his deep voice. I bolt out the red doors and surprisingly the window is still shattered from before so without a second thought I leap out the window onto my broom.
When I get outside I instantly hear a smashing sound and look up to see Lord Death wielding Spirit and he looked pissed, probably since I captured his son. He floats down to my level and I find it difficult not to laugh out loud but hold my tongue, this could work.
''Kema!'' He shouted
''Yes?''
''What is this foolishness? Why have you trapped Kid and what are the Sentinels?''
''I trapped Kid because he overheard me and one of my subordinates talking before he was discovered, so he will be kept in our prison for a while'' I explain sourly
''Release him!'' Lord Death shouts
''Why should I?''
''I thought you were better than this, release him or pay!'' He shouts again
''I would accept your offer of a fight but I am afraid the reason I came here was to complete my mission and I already have, so I will be off'' I smile before turning around and slowly begin to speed off when I Lord Death spoke up.
''Your not going anywhere!'' Lord Death shouted and I turn just in time to block his slicing attack, after I block it I fly back a bit and tap the side of my head causing a headset to appears.
''Sentinel 1-2 requesting covering fire on my escape, how copy?'' I speak into the headset
''Roger 1-1, Lethal force required?''
''Negative, covering fire only'' I say
''Roger, taking the shot''
A sudden solid beam of turquoise light shoots out from a random location and strikes Lord Death through what should be his shoulder causing him to go off balance.
''Shinigami-sama!'' Spirit shouts to his Meister
I take this opportunity to escape and turn around before zooming away as quickly as possible, Lord Death's shouts are mixed with the sounds of Sentinel 1-2's firing.
Kid's POV
''I'm glad your okay man'' Soul smiled at me
''Not for long'' I say and my smiles fades ''Kema is likely on her way here and she will be angry''
''Don't worry Kid! We're on our way!'' Maka shouts before turning to run when I remember something important.
''Wait!'' She stops and turns back to the mirror ''I was told all Sentinels were atleast the rank of an Ultra Death-Scythe and Arch-Sentinels were either Ultimate Death-Scythes or were extremely skilled like Kema. Fighting your way to me is a no-go so you will have to sneak your way to me-''
The door slams open and I stumble back, Kema glaring at me from the top of the steps and I feel myself freeze over but I must remain strong ''Your plan to kill father has failed''
''To kill Lord Death?'' She chuckles ''That was not our mission''
''What?'' I say in panic
She extends her hand to the side and a blue grenade-looking thing lays in her palm ''This was''
''What is it?''
''When activated it disrupts a Weapon's soul wavelength so they are forced out of weapon form, additionally it infects the weapon with a special type of spores I have specially made for it that will slowly kill the weapon over the course of a month. If used on a Meister it will disable their abilities such as soul perception or the ability to channel their soul wavelengths into Soul Force but will not infect them with the spores unfortunately''
My heart drops, please tell me she didn't use it on any of my friends or any of the teachers, please no! I stay calm as much as I can before I set my tone into a growl.
''Who did you use it on?'' I growl at her
''My mission was meant for it to be used on Black Star but unfortunately I couldn't get a clear shot so I used it on someone else'' She grinned at me
''Who?!'
''Soul and Maka''
My heart drops a mile more and I cant help showing it and she smiles ''They were in the way so they need to pay the price''
Suddenly I am filled with uncontrollable anger ''YOU ARE HER AUNT! How could you?!''
''Sentinel comes first, its my duty'' She said seriously
''You heartless cow!'' I scream before I feel a strange sensation on my stomach, I look down to see my legs lying on the floor while I am slowly flying upwards before Kema whispers.
''Silent Agony''
I an suddenly in a world of pain, it felt as if someone was dragging a knife along the inside of my stomach and did it repeatedly while pouring salt on the wound along with vinegar and lemon juice times a million. It was so intense that I felt my body going into shock from the pain, I try to cry out but nothing comes out. Liz and Patty were above me shouting something that I couldn't hear because my ears had now gone deaf from the pain, my eyes were wide though as I continued to see. Liz stands up and throws a punch at Kema who grabs the first with ease and retaliates by smashing her fist into her face, sending her a short distance into the wall. Instantly Patty went to her sisters side when my vision began to blur, a minute later it was the same. I wasn't blind but I couldn't pass out so this must be the compromise. This is the power of Silent Agony? Well its name held true.
Kema's POV
Kid is wriggling on the ground, Liz is unconscious and Patty is Patty. I turn to the Sentinel grunt behind me who instantly stands to attention at my gaze. I look to the side of him to see Lord Death and the other people who were at the meeting earlier looking into the mirror at me with horrified looks. I outstretch a hand silently and the glass shatters, I turn back to the grunt.
''Move them to the higher security rooms that don't have glass, the girls are weapons so be careful and request help if needed'' I say, he nods and allows me to pass back into the hallway. I casually walk past all the cells with prisoners crying or shouting, I climb a set of stairs at the end of the hallway that leads to the elevator. I punch in my code before stepping into the elevator, I am zipped upwards incredibly fast before it stops suddenly at the top floor like usual.
I stumble out of the rickety elevator onto the desert surface, the Nevada sun beaming down its blinding light onto me. I raise a hand to block the burning light and stop a percentage of it as I make my way through the compound, builders working on the concrete walls all around me. I manage to quickly cross the compound and to the concrete building were all the Sentinels rested and when I enter I instantly find one of my squad members waiting for me by the doors.
''Sup Scyther''
''Hey Scope, where is the rest of the squad?'' I smile at him, he was the one who layed down covering fire earlier ''And Don't call me Scyther, it sounds stupid''
''Gunner is eating over at the canteen, Rambo is upstairs cleaning her pistols for the tenth time today'' Scope smiles at me, he was always reliable when it came to telling me information about movements of enemies or allies.
''Thanks Scope, any DWMA activity after I left?''
''Not much actual movement but a ton of radio chatter'' He said ''Change to frequency 5 to listen in on the bugs I planted about the school''
''Got it, thanks again Scope'' I say and he nods before turning towards the door behind me and heading out, scarf blowing in the breeze. I walk across the square room and climb a set of stairs that led to the second floor before walking along a short hallway and reaching my squad's room. Since this was only a small and newly-built FOB it meant squads had to sleep in the same room, which I didn't mind very much but Rambo sure did since Gunner had a perverted sense of humour. He never did anything of the sort on me because he knows I am with Stein, that and last time he did a prank I made him do 100,000 press-ups in under twelve hours with only a five minute break. I push open the wooden door and like Scope said, Rambo was cleaning her pistol-arm. She stopped cleaning and immediately stood to attention at my gaze like before, my squad normally didn't do this but Rambo did as she thought since I was the squad leader they should always pay me respect despite that I keep telling her she doesn't need to unless we were in front of a ''higher-up''.
My squad has been quoted to be one of the best if not the best in the entire Sentinel Force. We are all Demon Weapons but each of us can wield another if necessary, Gunner can wield Rambo, Scope can wield Rambo, Me or Blades. Rambo can wield Scope and Me, Blades can wield me. I can wield everyone else, Each one of my squad was a gun.
Gunner was as some would expect: A machine gun. But he could change his hands into a machine gun each and shot his soul wavelength like other gun-users so unless his soul was under extreme stress he could fire endlessly, he was bald and shot anyone who laughed about it. He normally wore a grey shirt, grey trousers and black army boots.
Scope was vastly different from gunner but similar at the same time. He could change his arm into a sniper rifle that shot a highly-concentrated blast of his soul wavelength and has a scope for better targeting at long range, he had short blue hair and wore a white scarf that had a black stripe along it and despite the Nevada heat still wore it. He had a green shirt and trousers that also had the same black lines on it and had a white sleeveless shirt underneath that again had the same black stripes on it like all his other items of clothing.
Rambo could change her hands into duel western-style revolver and was incredibly agile and could take down Gunner any-day causing him to say 'I went easy on you'. She had short black hair that covered one eye most of the time and had a cowboy hat to add to it, she had a leather jacket that had the sleeves removed and was always unbuttoned. Underneath she had a white shirt with a purple skull on it that exposed the part of her stomach just above her waist, she had blue jeans that were old but added to her outfit so she keeps them. She finally has black trainers and some metal armour that goes up until just below her knee-caps.
Then there was me, the angel of death. I became the squad leader and formed the squad shortly after joining Sentinel, The reason I was put with the honour of being squad leader was because my 'Shinigami Form' was the angel of death which granted me extreme combat abilities such as being able to hit enemies without lifting a finger and combined with the Rainbow blood I created it quadrupled those abilities. The only thing I disliked about being an AOD is that I hand wings and while they were helpful, I prefer to use my broom or just float rather than fly and it makes it hard to sleep or lie down since the get in the way.
I nod at her and she sits back down and resumes cleaning the barrel so I walk over to my bed and sit down on it before flicking through the frequencies until I reach number 5 and instantly there is chatter.
''So what do we do about Kema? She's got Kid and she might kill him!'' Maka's voice says
''We cant just charge in after her, we don't know where she went and if what Kid said is true then we will be going up against atleast five Ultra-Death Scythes that are also Shinigami's'' Sid said
''But what about Soul? If what Kema said is true then Soul will die in under a month!'' She said
''Don't worry, we will be launching at attack very soon. We learned where the Forward-operating base for Sentinel but we need to gather some information'' Lord Death spoke
''What do we need to do?'' Soul spoke, he sounded weak – probably from the shock.
''Black Star and Tsubaki, I need you two to go to Kema's and Kami's house out in the Nevada desert and see if you can gather any information you can. Search the lab'' Lord Death said ''Maka and Soul I need you to get to the fourth floor of the library and look up all about Kema, her abilities, her weaknesses, enemies, so forth''
''Right'' The kids all said before a clatter of footsteps was heard. I reach up and press the button on the side of my headset that changes the channel, I click several times before I reach channel 10.
''Sentinel HQ, do you copy?''
''Roger Sentinel Kema, we read you over''
''I just intercepted radio chatter between Lord Death and several high-ranking students who were planning an assault on S-FOB, permission to intercept with non-lethal force?'' I ask
''Hold on a minute Sentinel Kema, passing on your request to Commander Saura'' The operator said
Oh no not this asshole.
''Ah, hello Sentinel Kema. Shame you didn't fully complete your mission but you did good regardless since you hit the other Meister and Weapon'' Commander Saura said
''Yeah, thanks''
''From what the operator has told me you want permission to use no-lethal force on a potentially lethal targets?''
''Yes'' I say, this is going to be annoying.
''Why not use lethal force?'' He scowls
''Because they are only kids and do not deserve to die so early in life'' I growl at him
''You will use lethal force, unless you wish to start an argument?''
''Yes sir'' I groan before switching my headset off
''Let me guess'' Rambo said ''Commander Saura?''
''Yep''
Commander Saura was an asshole: He thought that anyone who stands against Sentinel should be killed, I think of him as a Templar who is undercover at Sentinel HQ but its obviously just a theory.
''You want me to head to your house and ambush the students?'' She offers
''You sure?'' I ask and she nods ''Why not? when they leave the DWMA I'll give you the signal and you can head off. Remember though: Non-lethal force''
''Roger Kema'' She said
For those who didn't guess already:
Gunner looks like 'Heavy' from Team Fortress 2
Scope looks like a male version of Sinon from Sword Art Online 2 (and is older)
Rambo looks like Nisha from borderlands: the pre-sequel
:P Love yo faces!
