YO, It's Predator7 and I'm back
I'll put some of the High School Time and The Present Time Part as some…many were unsatisfied with not enough High School or Present Time matter. Oh and there is some extra content at the end for the HACHI x YUKINO people.
And in the meantime it looks like the fire for Oregairu X Militay furnace have been relit by me and everyone's forging a sword from that flame, not that I am praising myself but it still looks good with 5 stories for Hachiman in the Military…and most of them with more reviews for one chapter…..
I'm jealous. Also don't you think Deadeye could become an interesting GATE – Thus the JSDF Fought There crossover, circumstances are similar too aren't they. Review or start a forum to tell me, either way that's up to CreativeOutput to decide… is he still around?
GIVE THE ORDER
TROOPS ROLL OUT
PEACETIME'S OVER
WORLD WAR NOW
OPERATION JAVLIN
LONDON
When people are placed on the border of life and death, after falling into extreme conditions they utilize more of their brain power, simply their brain's processing speed increased. Right now Hikigaya Hachiman was in the same kind of situation. He could now see details of what was going on much more clearly.
Rico who had tried to save him was lying crushed immobilized. He studied the giant more closely now it was as tall as a bus and heavily armored, it had a shield on its shoulder that it had deployed and shielded itself from the gunfire from my men. Both of its arms had a strange extension that was probably the flamethrower, but it had been damaged by the C4 and was useless now as that giant bastard was coming to crush him and there was nothing he could do, he tried to move but he felt immobilized. He was going to die now and then just as the giant was moving towards himself and he close his eyes, the whole street shook with the shockwave of a Main gun going off.
The Giant was hit and its chest burst open like Confetti. If taken from a weapon expert's point of view it could be considered a miracle that he was still alive. The Canister or "Can" round is essentially a giant shotgun shell designed to be used against massed infantry or light skinned vehicles. When fired, thousands of tungsten steel pellets fly forward and shred anything in their path that isn't sturdy enough. That was fired from the 120mm smoothbore cannon of a Leopard 2A6 main battle tank which had come out from the other side of a street; it had stopped when it shot the round but now started moving again with a ramming speed towards the Giant.
The giant was still staggering and had dropped on its knees and finally fell. I looked in the direction the shell had come from. The Leopard looked fine from far but now as it had moved towards us, looking closely at it one could see the damage caused to it. It looked like it had been in a Sumo fight with something that was a Hybrid of a Rhinoceros and an Elephant….hang on there are these Giants so it must have got into a pretty ugly fight with one.
I got up and grabbed my Rifle and checked it, all of my Shell was expended and I had 3 clips left, my remaining men had come back and the Tank now was closed on us. It stopped a few feet from us and the turret hatch opened and out popped a guy who wore a Gas mask, he turned towards us and yelled.
"YO MAJOR WE MEET AGAIN AND IN THE BATTLEFIELD NO LESS" Who the hell is this Guy?
Seeing our questioning gazes the guy took off his mask and I recognized him as the German officer whose tank was MIA. He came out of the tank and stood on top of it and then hopped off and walked towards me. He was wearing a standard combat uniform….Damn shared logistics.
"Captain Ralph Hansen with my Hussar1 at your service"
"Tanks for the Assist" I replied, the men cheering for him, him grinning at my joke.
"Just doing our job and paying them back Sir, Oh…I hope you didn't lose many men" He said changing the topic.
"You say like you expected us to die. Why was your Comms down anyway?"
"The touchdown was a little rough and the comms got Damaged and we got stepped by one of these Giants but we managed to Run it down. We helped a Military compound shielding civilians and heard on their Radio that this place was under attack so we came to help. What the Hell is going on anyway Sir" he moaned.
"The Operation was a failure but we have to destroy some device to stop the Enemy" I said.
"Well My Hussar's is yours to command Sir. Rilien, Fritz, Franz we are going to be attached to their Team" he yelled in the direction of his Tank. Then turning back to me he said "Well sir if you're wondering gunner is Franz, the driver's Rilien and the loader's Fritz. Fritz and Franz are twin brothers"
Not that I wanted to Know, so this is his true self. He is one of those who feel at home when on the Battlefield. He must be of a Military Heritage from what I pick up.
"Your Family got Military background?" I asked to be sure. His eyes went wide and a smile came on his lips.
"Yes Sir, both my Father and Grandfather was in the Military and my Great grandfather was a Panzer commander in WW2" I thought so. I nodded to acknowledge him.
"[ELITES COME IN. THIS IS UNIFORM COMMANDER. RESPOND ASAP]" The radio suddenly barked. I pressed a button to send my voice back through my boom mike.
"[THIS IS 8. WE HEAR YOU LOUD AND CLEAR. GO AHEAD]"
"[LISTEN UP. WE GOT NEW INFO AND NEWS]"
"[THE BASTARDS ARE USING A COUPLE OF RECIEVERS TO HACK INTO THE BRITISH MISSILE PROGRAM. WE SUSPECT THEY ARE ALSO USING THEM TO CONTROL THE MISSILES.]"
"Just Fucking great" Felix exclaimed.
"Can th…." Pike was about to say those words before his mouth was forcibly shut by Frank.
"DON'T JINX US" he said angrily.
"[FROM WHAT INFO I HAVE RECEIVED FROM COLONEL ORLOSKY, WE CAN CONFIRM THAT BOTH OF YOU HAVE SUFFERED HEAVY CASULTIES AND ARE IN NO CONDITION TO FACE MORE ENEMIES. HOWEVER I HAVE NEWS THAT THE RUSSIANS MANAGED TO SNEAK A NUCLEAR SUBMARINE INTO THE THAMES AND ARE NEARING LONDON. DON'T ASK HOW]"
"Trust the Russians to have Perfect Aim over here" Marco the Italian sniper said.
"OI DON'T UNDERESTIMATE RUSSIANS" Felix angrily exclaimed.
"[HOWEVER DUE TO SOME REASONS THEY CANNOT LOCK ON ANYWHERE WHER THE ENEMY HAD ENGAGED THE SAS AND RAF AND THAT INCLUDES THE PLACE. SO YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TARGET THEM MANUALLY. YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PLANT BEACONS NEAR THE RECIEVERS SO THAT THE SUBMARINE CAN TARGET THEM]" WHAT!
"[HOLD ON. YOU ARE TELLING US TO GO TO THE ENEMY BASE TO PLANT A COUPLE OF BECONS AND GET BACK WITHOUT GETTING KILLED]"
"[WE-]"
"[NOT TO MENTION SNEAK PAST GOD KNOWS HOW MANY CRAZY ASS ARMOURED PSYCOS AND CRAZY ARMOURED GIANTS]"
"[JU-]"
"[OI TWO OF THEM KILLED MORE T-]"
"[SHUT THE HELL UP ARE THE ONLY ONE THERE…AND YOU DON'T GET A CHOICE. YOU SIGNED THE MOTHERFUCKING THE ODERS OR YOU WILL FACE COURT MARTIAL AND I WILL PERSONALLY MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE SHOT. UNIFORM COMMANDER OUT]" Prussian motherfucker…
"Looks like the higher ups want to get rid of you Major" Ralph standing next to me said. His men and mine were looking at me.
I took off my helmet and pinched my nose to get rid of the stress and thought about the situation.
This is a sucide mission. Asking us to sneak through an enemy base to plant a couple of Damn becons…Why didn't we bring Laser Guiders. I sighed and suddenly remembered I never connected back with Col. I raised my mike and Contacted him.
"[TROIKA THIS IS 8MAN. PLEASE RESOPOND OVER]" After a couple of moments he came online.
"[ELITES THIS IS TROIKA. GO ON]"
"[I THINK YOU HEARD ABOUT THE SITUATION. WHAT DO WE DO, CO]"
"[OH SO NOW I AM YOUR CO. OH AND THANKS FOR THE SORRY ABOUT YOUR DEADMEN PART]"
"[I APOLOGIZE. HOW MANY CASUALTIES ON YOUR END]"
"[LOST MOST OF THEM AND LOST 3 TANKS AS WELL. GOT AN ABRAMS AND A LEOPARD TANK LEFT. THOSE GIANTS ARE INSANLY POWERFUL AND THOSE GREEN BASTARDS WERE A PAIN IN THE ASS. THEY EVEN DESTROYED ONE OF THE TANKS WITH WHAT I THINK ARE DEPLETED ROUNDS CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!]"
"[I KNOW, WHAT DO WE DO]"
"[WELL BOY I GOT HURT PRETTY BAD SO I AM TRANFERING THE COMMAND TO YOU. GOOD LUCK]"
"[HEY DON'T PASS THE BUCK TO ME. WHAT THE HELL I AM SUPPOSED TO DO]"
"[I DON'T KNOW…PULL THAT CRAZY SHADOW MARSHALL SHIT OR THAT BALKAN BEZERKER CRAP YOU PULLED IN THE TARTAR OPERATION. YOU GOT FULL REIGN. TROIKA OVER AND OUT]"
"Looks like you are in command Lieutenant Colonel Hachiman" Ralph joked, with the rest of the men saluting me. For Crying out loud…..
"[MAJOR THIS IS CAPT PAUL JACKSON, USMC. ORDERS SIR]"
"[MAJOR THIS IS HORSEMEN4 REQUESTING ORDERS SIR]"
"[MAJOR THIS IS HUSSAR2 REQUESTING FURTHUR INSTRUCTIONS]"
Why are these guy joining in now of all times
What do I do…..WHAT DO I DO….WHAT DO I DO.
Looks like I have no choice left…if I go in there like this we die and if we retreat we will be shot by that fucking Prussian bastard.
I sat down near an overturned sedan and put my helmet to my side take off my Balaclava and tried to relax, there was only one way …Probably but who knows what may happen if I don't do this, I have to seek hi…wait…hang on …..I have a split self? ..that means I really am insane.[SIGH]
"Sir are you alright?"Frank asked. I tuned him out.
"[MAJOR PLEASE RESPOND]" I TUNED THE WORLD OUT.
I closed my eyes and tried to focus to get the help of the only person who can help us in this situation.
Myself.
It was twilight, wherever I am or was.
I looked around and found who I was looking for immediately.
"Looks like you need my help" A person lying…or floating on a rock with a book covering his face and his hand behind his head relaxing, the books who's Title I know better than anyone.
"Not that I wanted to" I said back and looked in the distance.
"Can I ask WHY?"
"NO"
"WHY?"
"You are me. You know why"
"Do I look like an Esper?"
"No my dear Sir you are a figment of my imagination…and my true self"
"Screw you, Why should I be bothered by anything you do I am a monster, am I not?"
"So you are missing the chance of taking control" I try to bait in.
"I don't care"
"You do know what will happen if I die, right…who will suffer beca-"
"You're reminding me of her, Hachiman"
"I am not"
"So you are going to avoid her, even when you knew why she betrayed you?"
"So what if I knew?"
"Would you give her a chance?"
"I'll decide that on that on that day till I meet her again….that is if we encounter each other again and if she can find herself and get away from that bastard Hayama and her fucking Great Demon Lord of a Grandfather. And aren't you, supposed to be the a monster of logic? Why are you bothered by her?"
"You were the one who shot her bro. And we're the same person that means you are still bothered by her. You emotional driven idiot"
"Between me and you, you're Insane and I'm Dark"
"And that why you need me baby, I'm crazy...so what's in for me?"
"That book wouldn't end right now" He laughed.
"TRUE STORY, BRO" He says and jumps to his feet the book disappearing giving a view of his face, "I'll take charge you go to sleep" as I feel my eyelids go heavy I see his facial features.
He looks exactly like me…..well he's my split personality, expect for one part. His eyes, instead of a pair of dead fish eyes he had a pair of reptile eyes which instead of looking creepy it looked predator which gave the feel of cold calculating and most important dangerous and insane.[0]
"Do you think he's dead?" Frank said to no one in particular, while poking his nonresponsive MAJOR'S body with his gun's attached bayonet, with the rest of the remaining men around him.,
"How can one die because he is-What?" The SAS guy said something but then looked at the FFL guy raising a hand.
"Death from shock?" the FFL guy said
"Of what?...Being in command?" Felix responded.
"[I BET IT'S THE CATCH 22]". Capt Jackson said from over the Radio.
"Proably…I think-OH he's waking up" Frank said.
"YO MAJOR HAD A NICE SLEEP?" Ralph said now back on the Tank said. Hikigaya saying nothing with his eyes hidden by his bangs placed his helmet back on and picked up the radio.
"[HUSSAR2, HORSEMEN4, And MARINES LISTEN UP]" his voice much deep and scary than it usually was.
"""[SIR]"""
"[TAKE UP ATTAKING POSITIONS NEAR BIRDCAGE WALK READY TO ENGAGE THE PALACE AT A WORD AND WAIT FOR THE CALL. YOUR CALLSIGN IS TEAM TEMPLAR. GET MOVING]" he said and putting down his radio.
"[UHH….ROGER THAT SIR]"
"[ROGER]"
"[WILCO]"
"Major what do we do?" Felix asked warningly.
"LET'S GO WE'RE TEAM ASSASSIN, BUT PUT OUR FALLEN BROTHERS IN A BETTER POSITION. MOVE IT" he said before moving towards Rico's body. After they had put each of their fallen brother's bodies in a slightly shielded place and said a small prayer for them they moved towards danger, with the tank moving beside them.
"Hey Major I thought you were an Atheist?" Frank asked, but didn't get a response from him. When they were nearing constitution Hill he stopped.
"HEY RALPH YOUR LEOPARD GOT ANY LOUDSPEAKERS?" he asked.
"Yes sir want me to play something?" the tank commander jokingly thinking it was because he wanted to say something to the enemy answered, to which he turned back towards them and flinched after seeing his CO's eyes.
"THE PANZERLIED" [1]
PRESENT DAY
Fort ALTAIR's Command building was built on the side of a hill with the Fortress's defences being controlled from a old Norman Era recreational castle built by some British guy with a bit of money on his hands and probably with a fetish for the medieval age. The SAM as well as the Missile launch pads were controlled from both the castle and the underground base built into the mountain. Along with the SAM, there was also the Heavy Rail Gun nicknamed 'Ascension Call'. Mostly used for intimidation but rarely used in combat.
Previously it was not a fortress at all but a training centre for civil officers. But, later when a large Black Shield outpost was located via satellite in the Himalayas this place was turned into Fort ALTAIR. The name coming from a popular game's protagonist with a statue of the same on near the entrance...Don't ask me who named it, ask the Commander here. I'm just on a tour of this place after my suspension was lifted. But if you ask me it's better than to name it after an Anime character.
This reminds me; I never mentioned the name of the organization for which I work for and helped set up.
TRINITY
TRI for the three branches of the military and NITY for Neutralization International Task Force, with our mascot and symbol being 'Cerberus' the three headed dog that guarded the underworld. Oh and by the way…those three branches aren't Ground, Water and Air. They are:-
Madness...Order and Darkness.
Hilarious isnt't...oh hell that reminded me of Orimoto...doesn't matter, her husband Tamakawa was a real pain when he was the Captain of The Chiba police...
I said 'was'... got him removed from duty and from civil lines after several of our 'classified' files were found on his property. Turns out his wife Orimoto worked with an anti-Trinity organization...
Yeah they exist...most aren't pleased by our methods. Some of them especially hate me! How I deal with them?
Easy... A baton in the face, mass arrests and sent them straight to the military training centre where the shit is beaten out of them by the instructors and they are turned into soldiers. Got Hiratsuka Sensei a job as a close combat instructor after Sobu got bombed, one thing i don't understand is why on earth does she keep punching my gut every time she sees me and then kidnaps... I mean...drags me to a drinking competition with her. Back to topic.
I am of course in Darkness... my choice of course.
Another thing I would like to clear so that people are not confused if i ever decided to write a Volume 14. Trinity's not a military force...It's a bloody gang.
No...No ...you don't understand.
IT IS a military organization that spearheads the War BUT it more or less acts like a huge global Gang. How else do you explain the immense amount of freedom enjoyed by our troops like being given a clean chit if shit goes down with media and the most insane thing about it is how we define or explain our...Military.
Ahem...TRINITY is a force whose members consist of misfits, idiots, rejected and the insane... built to fight anyone and anything and annihilate those who step on them. Normalfags need not apply.
You be the judge…call it dark or insane or whatever you want...and the last part wasn't me.
At least we had a free hand in Darkness. Perks of being a founding member...me and Takehiko, that's my uncle's name by the way, put together most of the... 'rehabilitated' gang members and a quite a bit of men laid off after one or two military tours and were forgotten and who were more than happy to come back to combat than to be left to rot by their governments, and with the gang like conditions of the military...the result.
A rock solid military that could stop and neutralise any threat...expect the Black Shields, that's the enemy by the way who we were currently fighting...everywhere.
Getting in a jeep driven by Felix who was both grumpy because of being dragged out of bed and because he was still in a bang hangover after drinking something...unfavourable for his stomach we reached the command building. Though there were 3 checkpoints after merely seeing my face we were waved through.
"Don't you think security's lax?" Felix asked me after driving through the last checkpoint and the jeep coming to a halt near the carpark.
"No it's fine besides there were 3 snipers and two GM turrets [2] tracking our jeep from the first checkpoint" I replied while coming out from the jeep.
The command building was situated on the backside of a series of administrative buildings that used to house the officer trainees. We had stopped in the primary entrance with a Carpark on the left side and steps leading to an auditorium on the right side a bit up. It also provided a view of the Castle, Rail gun and the many satellite receivers, solar panels and the BFF launching pad. [3]
The car park backside overlooked the training ground, motor pool, gym, ex-horse riding grounds and the entrance to the underground base and was armed with 5 ROSS mortars, two AR6W ARMADILLO tanks, one Stinger gun turrets and a SAM site. I made our way towards the Command building, ignoring the statue of the person after whom the fort is named.
It was a well defended place I'll give them that. The standard troopers were armed with the winter kits.[4] and with their LANTAC'S assault rifles. All of our uniforms were pretty much infamous as us. Our uniforms looked like Helghast uniforms, well a couple of them at least.
In our organization we prefer practicality over looking good. So what if we looked like Helghast? The uniforms also came with gas masks so they were pretty useful in combat and they were pretty intimidating so they were fun to use for me...I mean the only difference was the red bands on their arms had a Three headed dog 'Cerberus' on them, the boots and we didn't have glowing red eyes that could be easily become a sniper's target.
I and Felix entered the Command Centre and moved towards the director's office ignoring the stares I received, but suddenly stopped when we saw some Greybacks [5], our specialpolice force outside the secondary hall entrance in full armour armed with Toplov SMGs, a ram and a couple of shields in a breaching position. I cautiously approached and took out my own sidearm and advanced, the men were surprised with me joining them but Nothing was needed to be said when voices from the other side reached us, with the sound of some shots being fired.
"Kill it"
"Stop it…its's coming from that side"
"Lee shoot it..SHOOT IT"
"GOT THAT BASTERD"
Without bothering to find out where the Director was, I gave the order, three seconds later the door was broken open and a flashbang thrown in, after the detonation 12 men shielded by 6 shields entered with order to shoot to kill any hostiles they encounter.
But instead of a hostile situation we found 8 men in gas masks with 2 of them with bug repellents, 5 with EMP guns and the director and commander….jumping around like madman with a fucking net….who after the flashbang were rolling on the floor, we just stood there and looked around the room which was messed up mainly due to the electronics being targeted by the EMP guns. Then after 15 seconds on of them stood up, the effects having worn off took off his gas mask and he revealed himself as the director of the Facility.
"Don't worry ladies and zentlemen we have subjugated the threat" Damn another Otaku.
Which bring me to another thing….HOW THE FUCK DID WE GET SO MANY OTAKUS IN TRINITY?
"Mike what the Fuck is going on?" I said annoyance and irritation clearly visible on my face.
"Nothing to worry about sir. A fly snuck in from somewhere and they call me up to check up on it" A what?
"Then what's the EMP guns for?"
"I was just getting to that. Turns out it was a spy fly… and…no it didn't send info out, the jamming worked perfectly and we captured it" Damn, if he wouldn't have a legitimate excuse I would have sent him on sentry duty.
"Black Shields?"
"I can't say anything until Intelligence inspects it. Oh and what bring you here Shadow Marshall SIR?"
Shadow Marshall. [6]
Yeah that my rank...Shadow Marshal..But unlike what others think its like I and Takehiko have the same rank...well militarily. He is the face and has the rank of Marshal and takes care of the paperwork and negotiations and Press while I take care of shit from the shadows all the while fighting on the front line and managing the men and organizing Operations hence the prefix Shadow, perfect job for me if you want my opinion. The other sectors also have the same rank or the equivalent at least.
But the danger's equal. You just can' tell who's supposed to be the scapegoat. The one on the front line or pulling a Black or Red op or the one in danger of Blue on Blue [7] or the danger of getting stoned or burnt to death by Peace activists…..and they're supposed to be peace activists.
My advice: Stay at home become a NEET and when the war's over take a pill become young and[8] and resume your life.
"A couple of minutes ago someone informed me we got info on De Marque" I told him to keep my business short while the Greybacks helped the other.
"Ah yes…but sir we got a problem" A problem?..
"Problem?"
"The file is being blocked" What!
"What?….By whom..If its locked use my godamn credentials and ID to access it"
"You can't, its blocked by Lucifer himself" he said before another guy called him over.
LUCIFER…THAT….GUY AGAIN….
"What do we do now sir?" Felix made himself visible; in this confusion I had forgotten him.
As if on cue my phone rang, somehow I knew who it was.
"YO, what's going on Oyatsu-san, A few minutes ago someone informed me that Recon found Mark's location, and now the director of the facility tells me the file's been blocked" It had become my habit to call him that since High school.
"Listen I have sent a plane because we are going to watch Fullmetal alchemist today at the Cabaret Club tonight with our comrades…Oh and bring your flying circus with you and all of them and by that I mean that crazy Russian, that crazy otaku, that crazy tank commander and your bloody sniper with you. Later"
"HEY LIS-"But he hanged up.
Fullmetal alchemist? ... What does he mean by that?
"What did the he say?"
"Something about watching Fullmetal Alchemist along with the rest of our comrades….DAMN THAT GUY….HERE WE HAVE ONE BLOCKING INFORMATION..AND OTHER ONE WATCHING ANIMES…FOR CHRIST SAKE WE'RE PROBABLY BEING SCREWED BY THE UP…" The like a lightning bolt it hit me.
"Felix get Frank, Ralph and Marco and meet me at the airfield in 10 minutes" I said to him I have to pick up my service uniform too the one I was wearing was just for show but not for practicality. I had just two sets of those uniforms. One was damaged beyond repair and the other…..got dirty and was sent for dry-cleaning, apparently it took some time to get the blood…I mean dirt out of them" I'll leave It there.
"Roger that. See you at the airfield" he said while saluting and moved off. That'll take him a couple of minutes. Frank would be servicing his hand and Ralph would be grinding his sword…most probably and Marco would be on patrol.
As I walked off towards the deliveries section, Mike caught up to me.
"Sir there's something I want to report"
"Go ahead" I stopped for him for a moment and then resumed after he had reached me. He took out a tab and started reading.
"The final casualty report of the shrine blast in Chiba amounts to 67 dead, 127 injured with 12 JSDF personnel's in the victims"
"So why are you telling me this?"
"There's one prominent victim…one Hayato Hayama"
[...]
"Apparently he was scheduled to address a couple of press stations but was discovered on the blast site well...most bits of him at least" I looked at him.
"He's dead isn't he, so what's the problem?"
"Apparently several badly damaged and burnt Mangas were found in the bag he was carrying" I stopped.
"He doesn't read Manga or Light novels" After a moment I looked away and started walking again.
"Apparently that's what his lawyers are insisting and trying to make a case against higher authorities. Also it seems the Public security's on your ass over that" I chuckle; they just don't give up do they.
"Thanks for the heads up I'll check it out" I said to end this conversation immediately. He saluted and went off.
As I moved towards the deliveries section I took out my other phone and called a number I had only used when we had to remove an orange monkey from a presidential seat. [9]
"EL PSY CONGROO" [10]
"'SUP 8-TRACK"
"DID YOU DO IT?"
"NO, NOT THE KILL AND NOT THE BLAST. HE GOT KILLED WHEN HE BROKE OUT OF A WINDOW"
"AND YOU SHOT HIM AND HE DIED"
"NOT EXACTLY, WE WERE 6 FLOORS UP"
"DID HE GIVE ANYTHING UP?"
"NAMES. SOME DIET MEMBERS AND SOME IN THE CORPORATE WORLD. DID YOU LIKE THE RESULT?"
"GUY WITH PUNCTURED LUNGS AT A WIND GOD SHRINE[11]. IRONIC. ASSIST IN THE INVESTIGATION AND WHAT THE HELL WAS WITH THAT MANGA?"
"THERE WAS A DOUJINSHI CONVENTION NEARBY, MADE IT SEEM HE WAS A CLOSET OTAKU. OH AND DON'T WORRY HIS WIFE WOULD-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP"
"OI... YOU YOURSELF OFFERED HER A PLACE TO STAY. RUMORS FLEW THAT YOU HAD AN AFFAIR AND THE YOUNGER DAUGHTER WAS YOURS AND..."
"KEEP YOUR MOUTH FUCKING SHUT. MY PERSONAL LIFE IS NOT YOU'RE GOSSIP TOPIC AND ESPECIALLY NOT A TOPIC FOR YOUR FUCKING STORIES"
"SORRY SIR BUT THAT'S NO...SORRY ABOUT THAT BUT BE CAREFUL THEY'LL TRY TO FILE A CASE AGAINTS YOU"
"WHY IS THAT?"
"YOU FORGOT ALREADY? YOU GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT SECOND LAST TIME AND ORDRED HIS ARM TO BE SHOT OFF AND THE LAST TIME..."
"YOU AND I BOTH KNOW WHAT HE WAS TRYING TO DO. MAKE SURE IT DOES'NT LEAD BACK TO US"
"WHAT IF IT DOES?"
"THEN MAKE SURE THAT HE DIED IN THE EXPLOSION"
"EL PSY CONGROO"
2 HOURS LATER
If in my Highschool days someone would have told me that I will know people who call me a friend let alone by my first name i would have laughed at their face...and afterwards lie in misery thinking about my pathetic life. Being in the military gave me a lot of things...a family for instance and these 4 fools sitting with me as another. The bonds and experiences that i shared with them were unique and...genuine. Well...only these 4, my uncle and a couple of other people number easily countable on fingers called me Hachiman anyway because i had changed my name...
"8, I thought that we were going to watch an anime series" Frank said
"Yeah…Fullmetal Alchemist Reality version" I replied while lying down on a metal seat., my cap covering my eyes .Where's that GODDAMN plane?
"Then why are we waiting here?" Ralph yelled while pacing up and down the room.
"Quit your wining Ralph, go get some breakfast" Marco said while drinking a can of...
MAX COFFEE!
I jumped and went in the direction where he came from.
"Wait for me!"
The airfield was a High altitude airstrip with a couple of Su-47 Berkut which were more or less our standard, AH-88 Hel knights, Mi-24 Superhinds, V-22 IAF Night Ospreys, one AC-130J and T-50s and YF-23s and those were not including the newer BFFs which required a special launching pad that was built into Fort Altair. It was built after flattening two hills after the outpost was discovered and these many planes deployed in case of an attack.
Afterwards we just sat there in the waiting room near the Airfield waiting for the plane with a couple of Rations made from meat of god knows what, Though that was balanced by the god sent MAX COFFEE.
When Japan was hit badly by another Quake and another attack from Black Shield's Combat Androids simultaneously, Max Coffee's plant was hit and the company went bankrupt but due to an Anonymous donation, they survives and sold their company and recipe to u..the buyer who produced them as standard rations for the Military. Though, it was a bit rough in the start it quickly gained momentum and the Force became a fan of it, so you could now go to Florida or Paris and buy a can or by the dozens like me.
"Eight, news's out that that blonde guy is dead" Frank said while taking another bite.
"Who?" Ralph asked.
"You know the guy who pulled a gun on him and tried to defame us publically. Some time ago" Felix said while taking a sip and indicating me from his eyes.
"Ahhh, yes the guy whose arm Marco blew off and whom I chased out with my tank when you guys and those JSDF boys started to throw shoes at him" Ralph said in between of laughing, eating and coughing.
"For the last time it wasn't me who shot his arm off" Marco said.
"Yeah...Why did you do that anyway?" Felix said.
"No idea...they started throwing their shoes and we joined in and then Ralph chased him out with his tank when he started cursing and then the Shadow Marshall got suspended for that incident...and got to go to every outpost to check the situation after giving the Military tribunal a damn good laugh over the reasons for them throwing the shoes, even the JSDF got off unscathed" Frank said while wiping some of the gravy that had fallen on his bionic arm.
Frank had lost his right arm in an bomb blast during a Doujinshi Convention he attended in Ginza. However he got outfitted with the latest bionic arm for the veterans made by the Mitsubishi Corporation. That's why he gave me that blade...as he had now a concealed blade fixed under his hand, not to mention the 12 gauge shotgun fitted in his arm. That...he keeps for close encounters.
"Hey...Hachiman" Frank said. "A question if you will"
"Shoot"
"When did you first meet your uncle...I mean..if"
"Ok...i'll tell you guys" I took a deep breath "I first met him when I was on the verge of death after attempting to commit suicide"
"'""You What?!"""" They simultaneously yelled.
"Shut up and listen"
It hurts...
That was the only thing i could feel...i was crying...i could feel it but i could feel my tears. The water flowing beneath me licked at my face...i wished for death.
Abandoned by everyone i had ever known...no...Better left to rot...
Cannot trouble anyone i know...Could hear people on the bridge...
no one will help me or save me...
Save...SAVE...that...
Gone to the ball with her...talked to her parents...got Haruno off her back...
Confession...the Clusterfuck of emotions...
Family ..."How dare you a Hikigaya can like a Yukinoshita"...However managed to get them off my back...convinced them...
Then... "Sorry it was just a request and did you ever think i would find genuine with you?"...returned home almost broken...saw lot of cars and people outside
... "Hachiman...eh?..You are no Hikigaya anymore..."said my clan and threw me out...
...fully broken...last thing dad...ex dad said was someone will find and help me as he closed the door...Komachi was sad but not my cat...
JD'S found me...said i was interesting...left me half dead...robbed...limped around to the park...saw the faker and the queen in a cafe...broke down...
...Night fell...found a hole...climbed in it...
...three days later they came...Rats...huge...thought I was dead...
...found a bridge...jumped off...
Water was low...survived...couldn't drown...
..only thing left is to die...
..footsteps?...
"Hey Kid, you dead yet?" someone asked me.
"Kill me" was all I could say without looking at him "Police wo...won't bother you"
"Kill you!...that'll save me time, money, resources and what not...But no" Who..
I turned my head to look at him. Someone wearing a leather jacket, Jeans and glasses was looking at me. He didn't look like a Yakuza but I just couldn't tell.
"Hiki...Hachiman right,...you are Hachiman right..I don't want to pick up the wrong guy" he said.
"N..No" I didn't know why but I didn't tell him the truth.
"A pretty good liar aren't you...still not giving information even when you are almost dead...a pretty good point i must say. Oh and I can tell you are Hachiman because of your eyes" he looked pleased for some reason...My eyes again why?
"A-re you...the Mob?" I asked because..i don't know.
"Well...Yes and No...All depends on your point of view."What kind of answer...
"Tell me" he crouches down ignoring the water and asks me, "Do you Hate this world?"
I say nothing but stare at him his features becoming clearer, his Ahoge swaying with the wind...
"Do you think you can set things right...by using anything on your hands?" he looks in the distance while he continues.
"Can you do illegal thing to do right things? Can you act like the Black Knight you feel you are?"
"Are you a Chunnin?"I just couldn't help it.
"No. Do you want to live?"..live...Live my life again for what?...
"F..for...what?" Family..who turned backs on me without even giving me a chance...an ice queen who preferred the very thing she hated...What...
"I don't know...but are you willing to find that genuine thing?" How...does he know? ...Who is he anyway?..
"Why are you asking me something like that and why will you a stranger help someone like me?" To this he looks at me again and takes off his glasses.
"Cause we're Family" The moonlight shows his face and i look into another pair of much more tired and looking even dead looking, dead fish eyes.
"Wow..that feels straight out of a Manga or a movie" Frank said while looking at my with sympathetic eyes.. "But you know what they say...the faintest of light can be seen only in the darkest of days" or not.
"The part that impressed me the most was the fact that the 'Guardian Angel of Trinity' was once a broken man and attempted suicide" Marco said while Felix and Ralph nodded their head, while I secretly smiled.
My high school self would never would have told anyone anything about himself...well excluding Komachi who was family...but here these guys were more like brothers...and a second family and as i have...experienced before. I feels good when somebody listens you out and it feels...feels..
It's difficult to track down how I feel myself, but...it feels good. Then as if something sparked within Felix and he spoke up.
"Hey 8, was that woman the other day the same gir-" he said before being interrupted.
"Come on the plane's here"

Chapter end...
Sorry if you think this was a bit long. I had been working on this since i posted chapter 5, but due to several factors ranging from the other stories and magic messing with my head, i wrote another draft in which hachiman had magic and destroyed the OGRE with magic but then after watching the series again on my phone.
I threw magic into my other fan fictions and maintained reality. Though that may change in future chapters, and I don't mean Hachiman will use magic...you'll see for yourself in future chapters.
Oh and here's a little future chapter peek for those going HH X YY
' How did i get myself into this situation?
I just wanted a coffee for god sake. I didn't even complain when my 4 stooges showed up and we hung out with me having to sing a song while playing a guitar in Perestroika so why?
SO WHY?
WHY IS YUKINOSHITA YUKINO HERE IN FRONT OF ME...oh and that not it...
SHIZUKA YUKINOSHITA, HER MOTHER AND HER TWO DAUGHTERS ARE HERE TOO...
AND THIS PLACE ISN'T JAPAN...THIS IS KAZAN FOR GO...OH WAIT HE'S ALREADY LAUGHING AT ME FROM UP THERE.
They had caused enough of an outrage already. Knocking me out using the door when i was leaving...accidently of course...but that didn't stop the alarm from going off and every Trinity and Ex-Bravata aiming their guns on them. Trinity thought they were assassins here to kill me and the Ex- Bravata...saw someone knock out their benefactor and got even more angry than the time when a couple of guys claiming to be Bravata tried to...displayed inappropriate behaviour, let's say they ended up waking up in a military hospital with a guy kicking them awake calling them Maggot [12] and got sent to recruitment centre straightaway.
When woke up, I calmed them down as they had almost come to blows about what to do with them and recognizing them I made them sit to listen what she had to say. Dimitri gave me privacy by kicking everyone out. Expect Felix, Frank, Ralph, Marco and Dimiti who insisted for my safety while sitting far but in such a position that it seemed that the 4 women were hostages.
Well it would tell a different story if you would see from outside. A couple of men along with two Greyback VANEVIR APC and a...
[...]
"Who called the Greybacks?" I yelled to the 4 stooges sitting around, startling the women.
"It was necessary" Marco said his voice strangely full of venom.
"We insist Sir. She knocked you out and you acted strangely when you met her. It's for your own safety" Dimitri said while looking like he was polishing a glass when in actual i knew he was fingering a shotgun and gave the Yukinoshitas a hostile glance.
"H-Hikigaya-kun" Yukinoshita suddenly said drawing my attention back to her.
"Mister...your eyes are creepy" her daughter with…..
Blonde hair said.
...must be Hayama's genes working.
"Chitoge, be quiet" Yukinoshita scolded her in a hushed tone, i noticed her other daughter with Raven black hair was staring at me. She looked like a mini Yukinoshita, without her Ice Queen exterior.
"Nee-chan his eyes looks like Pan-san's eyes" I REST MY CASE MATE.
"Oka-san is he the man you often tell us about having Pan-san's eyes?" Wait what?
I gave her my signature Deadeye stare but she still then burst into a smile which reminded me of a child that I once helped. I then looked at the other inhabitants of the table.
Yukinoshita was averting her eyes from me and was looking down while her mother was looking outside, watching the soldiers outside keeping an eye on her, she must still be paranoid from the time Public Security started watching both the Hayamas and the Yukinoshitas and my men ready to roll and fill them with lead, all on my command of course. Her mother then spoke to me suddenly.
"You seem to have made powerful friends" She said with the same tone that had heard from her for the first time.
"Those guys and me, friends...don't make me laugh. I don't have friends" From the corner of my eye saw my men shift "They are not my friends...they're my Family" I said with her looking at me surprised, I then looked down and saw that my boom mike was on, OH...so that was the issue.
"Hiki-"Stop using that name.
"Don't use that name. They disowned me" I said with no emotion in my voice.
"I'm sor-" I cut her off.
"Because of you and your actions" She clenched her fists and it looked like she was going to shed a tear when her younger daughter held her hand and looked at me.
"Sir, please don't make my mother cry"
"Yeah make me look like the bad guy...again" Yukinoshita then looked like she had gathered her courage and spoke now in firmer tones.
"Hachiman I made a request to you years ago. Do you remember it?"
"Request...Hmm, the service club days...it's a bit fuzzy at the moment"
"You promised...that you...would help me someday"
[...]
[...]
"FRANK BRING MY FUCKING GUITAR AND SMASH IT ON MY FUCKING HEAD. I HEARD SOMETHING BAD AND I WANT TO FORGET IT RIGHT NOW" The 4 woman jumped at my outburst and Yukinoshita looking shocked.
"Hikia...What's wrong?" She asked hysterically.
"What wrong ev-AHH!" I was about to tell her when i something hit me on the back of my head and I fell down on the ground, along with a...guitar?..!
"FRANK... y-you IDIOT!" was the only thing that I could say as I looked up I saw the shocked faces of the 4 women and the two small girls hugging their mother.
As the world went black I heard Felix say something before I lost consciousness.
"[UMM, RED STAR THIS IS SHADOW4 UMM….SHADOW MARSHALL'S DOWN, AGAIN. METHORD OF INJURY...A FUCKING GUITAR]"
SO HOW WAS IT HACHIX YUKINO LOVERS!

Oh and Mokkel i don't think Watari Watari made any other side stories like ANOTHER, because wiki shows that it has 2 anthology volumes for Hamachi, but check out Qualidea of Scum and A gold coin. The protoganist has many similarities with 8man and the ending has an afterword of Watari Watari, but then I may be wrong.
Well till chapter 7. Which will come a little late as my tests are incoming, But I'll post the chapter 2 of my other 2 stories before that so don't worry.
Predator7 out.
