Bloody Justice

Chapter 4: Invitation, New Member, Raid

I own nothing

It was just another Saturday at Maple House, everyone had finished doing their chores when their was a knock at the door. Kouta went to answer it, when he opened the door he was greeted by a strange sight: a small robot on a single wheel, a single blue eye, a square body, and an antenna. "Helloooo resident" it shouted and waving it's hand(or two metal flaps that act as a hand), Kouta cringed at the volume and tone of it's voice. "Uh can I help you" he asked, it was all he could think to say. "Why yes you can, but first allow me to introduce myself, I am a prototype steward bot, my designation is CL4P-TP but my creators just call me Claptrap, anyway I would like to enter your residence, for I have a very important message for one of your fellow residents" it explained.

Kouta was at a loss, some weird and very annoying robot was at his doorstep, asking to enter. He decided it probably wasn't lying and it didn't look like it would be much of threat, so he simply stepped aside, signally it was fine to enter. "Many thanks, don't worry I just need to deliver the message and medicine and I'll be out of your hair" it said while entering. "Uh… okay- wait what medicine" Kouta said, the robot didn't say anything about medicine, "Don't worry about the details, plus if you try to interfere in anyway the Japanese government will have you arrested for treason" it said in it's ever present upbeat manner. This shocked Kouta, he feared that this robot was with the people after Nyu, he ran to stop it but it was already too late, it had reached the living room where everyone was, Nyu was napping on the couch.

"Helloooo other residents" it shouted, getting their attention and stirring the sleeping Nyu, "I have a very important message for a Miss Lucy or as you know her Nyu" it said. The others didn't notice but Nyu, who had switched to her Lucy personilty, tensed. "What is that" Nana asked, "it's leaving" Kouta said, grabbing Claptrap's antenna, intending to drag it out. Claptrap managed to pull itself out of his grip "now what part of arrested for treason for interfering didn't you understand" Claptrap said, startling the others "Kouta, what is it talking about" Yuka asked, worried about what Claptrap said. Before Kouta could say anything Claptrap spoke up "well as I explained to him when he answered the door, I have a very important message and medicine" it explained, "you didn't say anything about medicine before I let you in" Kouta said, "But I did say not to worry about the details" it countered.

At this point Lucy sat up, she had a vector at the ready to tear the robot apart. "How do I know your not lying, for all I know you could be here to hurt Nyu" Kouta said with some heat, "hell that medicine your talking about could be poison" he added. "Sir, I assure that I am not programmed to lie nor am I programmed for assassination" Claptrap said. They continued their argument, the others could only stare in disbelief at what they were seeing, then Lucy struck. The vector slammed into Claptrap, sending it into a wall, it fell to the floor but stood up then retracted it's limbs and wheel like a turtle, "WAAAHHH, GOMEZ SHE'S ATTACKING ME, PROTECT ME SQUIRE" it shouted.

The others were perplexed by this, nothing happened for a minute then they heard the door open forcefully, agent Gomez charged in. Lucy wasn't expecting this which gave Gomez the opportunity to charge her, punching her to the ground. "NYU" everyone shouted, fearing for her. Gomez picked her up and held her in a stranglehold, Lucy struggled to get free, the punch left her slightly disoriented so she couldn't use her vectors and the restricted breathing didn't help. "Alright are you going to listen or am I gonna have to hurt ya some more, to be honest I hope you go with option A" Gomez said, trying to reason with the diclonius.

After another tense minute Lucy stopped struggling, "fine" she muttered. They sat down at the table, Claptrap was no longer in his defensive form and approached them "whew, that was intense, hey Gomez I thought you'd be in the moment there was trouble, it took you a minute to enter, I could have been destroyed in that minute" it complained. "I needed to take my shoes off" Gomez said, "uh, why" Claptrap asked "we're in Japan" Gomez said. The others sweat dropped at this 'well at least he had the courtesy to take his shoes off before storming in and hurting Nyu' Yuka deadpanned in her head. "uh Gomez-san, why are you here for Nyu, she's never done anything wrong" Mayu asked nervously.

"True, Nyu has never done anything wrong but Lucy has" Gomez said, the others all unconsciously winced at this, they all noticed that Nyu's personality would change and they pieced together that when that girl came out people got hurt, Nana knew this first hand(or in her case first prosthetic hand). "Now, Lucy has killed a lot of people over the years, but do I blame her, no, if I had people be total dicks to me just because I had horns for most of my life I'd probably lash out at just about everyone too" Gomez said, "now the Japanese government and the U.N are willing to give her a pardon, but on one condition" he said. "What's that" Kouta asked, Gomez paused for a minute, then he reached into a pocket on his suit and pulled out a bag of sunflower seeds and started eating them, "let me answer that question with another question: what have you heard about super villain, terrorist, and criminal organization activity lately" he asked. Kouta was surprised by this question but then answered, "I heard it's been getting pretty bad lately" he said, "yeah, just last month I actually saw two fights between superheroes and super villains" Yuka added, "the first one was between batman and joker, the second was wonder woman and Giganta" she said. Gomez nodded, "yep, 50 people here were killed by the Joker and Giganta caused 1 million dollars in damages or 120205000 yen, now to answer your question with an answer, the U.N has formed a task force that will eliminate these super villains because the justice league refuses to and in exchange for a pardon she will join this group" he explained.

Everyone took in this information, then Lucy spoke up "and what if I refuse" she asked. "You'll be executed for all the people you've killed and your friends here will be charged with harboring a fugitive" Gomez said, "don't think of it as having a gun to your head, think of it as an apology on behalf of the human race for the torture you and your people have been put through" Claptrap added. "Huh you actually said something intelligent" Gomez muttered. After a few silent minutes Lucy came to a decision "fine, I'll join your group, but first what's that medicine the robot was talking about" she said then asked. "Oh right the medicine" Claptrap said, it reached into a small compartment on it's front and pulled out a small bottle of pills and place it on the table.

"That is a special medicine, it will keep your Nyu personality asleep, after all wouldn't want you slipping into your personality with the mind of a toddler in the middle of battle" Gomez said, "be sure to take one pill a day". Lucy opened the bottle and dropped a pill in her hand, it was a small, white, and circle shaped; she then put it her mouth and swallowed. "Alright I'll give you some time to pack your essentials and say your goodbyes, we'll wait out front, let's go Claptrap" Gomez said, Claptrap followed him out the door. Lucy gathered her clothes, some snacks, and other things she would need in a spare suitcase Kouta had given her. Once Lucy was done packing, everyone gathered around her and gave her a group hug, "Nyu" Kouta said "please, be careful", "I will" Lucy said, once they broke the hug Lucy went out the door to a waiting Claptrap and Gomez.

The next day scout, sniper, Seras, Ajay, Wheatley, who had gotten a pair of thin robotic arms and legs from engineer, and Trevor were hanging out around the entrance to the building. Everyone was pretty content with being an enforcer so far, though Seras wished scout wouldn't hit on her. Sniper was practicing his aim by having Wheatley place empty cans farther and farther away. Out of all the people sniper had met in his life Wheatley was the most annoying, scout had second place and that dumb ass director was third, before meeting Wheatley soldier had third place, sniper was very tempted to put a bullet in Wheatley but if he did he'd have hell to pay from engineer since he worked so hard on the limbs and installing ports to attach them to. Sniper fired his rifle, hitting a can Wheatley had placed 100 meters away, Wheatley ran all the way back for another can, bringing the shot can with him, Gomez told them even if they were in the middle of the desert they weren't allowed to just toss their trash wherever they wanted.

"So, what did you do before getting the invite" scout asked Ajay and Trevor. "Well I got duped into fighting in a civil war I didn't really care about" Ajay said, there really were days where he wished he had just listened to Min and waited for him, and wished he never listened to Sabal and Amita, after everything he left the two of them to their own devices, he knew they were both extreme but he also knew they would be too busy fighting each other to cause any severe damage, at least for the time being. "Well, I used to be a humble bank robber, until one of my partners decided he didn't like his career choice and sold us out, I escaped and set up shop in sandy shores, San Andreas" Trevor said, "now I run the family friendly business: Trevor Philip Enterprises". "huh, cool, what's your 'business' do" scout asked, making quotation marks with his fingers. Trevor glared at scout, "what the fuck were those quotation marks, you think I'm bullshitting you, you think I'm running a made up business" Trevor snarled.

"No, no, no, I just figured since you admitted to being a criminal you said business so cops wouldn't look into your operations and all that" scout said, in just a few days the enforcers saw how crazy Trevor can get when angered. This answer seemed to appease Trevor, "well if you must know, we delivered guns to believers in the second amendment who want to skip the legal bullshit and people who didn't believe in drug laws" he said, basically he was a arms and drugs dealer. Seras suddenly perked her head up, "there's a helicopter approaching" she said. "How do you… oh right, super senses" Ajay said, remembering Seras was a vampire. The helicopter appeared and soon it landed, Gomez stepped out, "hello everyone, I need a favor, go inside and gather everyone in the lobby, I have important news" he said.

Ten minutes later everyone was gathered in the lobby, wondering what Gomez was planning to tell them. He entered with Lucy and Claptrap beside him, "alright everyone, we have a new enforcer" he announced, "this is Lucy, she is a sub-species of human, a Diclonius" he explained. He then directed their attention to claptrap, "and this is claptrap, he'll be residing here" he introduced, "hello enforcers" claptrap shouted, causing most of them to cringe. "Oh god there's two now" sniper groaned, "why do people make these things" Jason added. "Anyway let's head to the training room, Lucy will show what she can do" he said.

Lucy stood in the middle of a bunch of cardboard cut outs of soldiers and some aliens that had attacked earth in the past. The others were sitting on some bleachers, "alright everyone, watch closely" Gomez said. Suddenly the cut outs were chopped up by an invisible force, surprising the enforcers. Three wooden disks were launched at her, but the force caught them in mid air, she throw them at another three disks, breaking them all. A pistol was fired at Lucy but all the bullets were stopped in mid air, they were then launched into the last cut out.

"Holy crap" scout shouted "how'd she do dat". "Vectors, it's something her species possesses, they're basically invisible arms, though if they vibrate at a high enough frequency they can become visible" Gomez explained, "they can cut through stone, steel, and people". "They can also faze through certain things and can be used for precision, for example: I could slip one in your brain and pop a blood vessel" Lucy added. "So you could kill someone and it would look like an act of god" Spy said, Lucy nodded. "Now that introduction are out of the way you've got another mission, a very cathartic mission, anyway head to the Apollo, you can get more familiar with our new friend" Gomez ordered.

On the way their read the files they were given, their orders were to eliminate the guards, scientists, and director; they were told there would be civilians on site acting as secretaries and janitors, they were ordered not to harm them. A few enforcers tried to talk to Lucy but she gave them a side glance and ignored them. As they were about to arrive Lucy spoke up, "listen, there's a scientist named Kurama, I swore that I would kill him and I intend to come through on that, so if you find him bring him to me" she said. "Uh, why do you hate this guy so much, the other scientists did the same thing" Seras asked nervously. "He killed one of the few friends I ever had" she answered, "what's he look like" Walker asked, "he's Japanese, brown hair, brown eyes, rectangular glasses, usually wears a suit, and is usually quiet" she said.

Soon they arrived at the island, because of the civilians Ajay, Jason, Franklin, Michael, Walker, Lucy and Trevor needed to wear masks to keep their identities safe. the ship landed and they disembarked and as they approached the building a team of guards blocked their path. "This is a restricted area, state your business" the lead guard barked. Before anyone could speak up Lucy came forward and killed all the guards. The group continued, as they walked the six put on their masks, Franklin, Michael, and Trevor wore hockey masks, Walker and Jason wore a gas mask, Lucy wore an oni mask, and Ajay wore a mask of Yalung.

Soon they were at the front entrance of the building, another group of guards approached them along with a man in a lab coat. "What is the meaning of this and what happened to the guards we sent" he demanded. "They're dead" Anderson said, "and we got a message from the government: your fired" Michael said. The red team then opened fire on the group, obliterating them. An alarm sounded, warning everyone in the building, "alright people, remember our priority target is the director, anyone tries to get in our way, kill 'em" soldier said.

Meanwhile in the lower levels Kurama didn't seem bothered by the alarm, he had seen the outside security feed which also had sound, he knew this day would come, the government had shown open disgust towards their methods. He heard that a virus had gotten into their systems, but the technicians realized that was just to cover up that they had been hacked and all their information had been downloaded. Even the director's personal files were taken, the director had ordered to be alone, what he didn't know was Kurama was spying on him and saw his horns when he removed his wig. He confronted the director who was having a mental breakdown and he revealed his plans in his unstable state. Now Kurama simply waited for them, he didn't care anymore, he failed as a husband, a father, and a human being, he just hoped his wife could forgive him, though he doubted he would be in the same place as her.

The guards on the first floor were being annihilated. Anderson slashed his way through them, Alucard casually walked while firing his guns, Medic had ubercharged Heavy who was laughing as bullets simply bounced off him and his minigun mowed them down, and Lucy caught the bullets with her vectors and launched them back at the guards. The others used the four as shields as they fired at the guards. Soon the entire first floor was cleared out, the bodies of guards and scientists were strewn about, the only people spared were the civilians as ordered, the civilians fled out the door, awaiting the military team that would pick them up. They then split up into three groups, group 1 would go into the lower levels, group 2 would work their way up the upper floors, group 3 would stay on the first floor incase anyone evaded group 1 and 2.

Group 1 had Alucard, Lucy, Soldier, Demoman, Scout, Michael, and Walker. Group 2 had Anderson, Heavy, Medic, Pyro, Jason and Trevor. Group 3 had Seras, Engineer, Ajay, Franklin, Spy, and Sniper.

Group 1 met heavy resistance from guards and thick metal doors, however the guards were no match for their attackers and Alucard, Demoman, and Lucy made quick work of the doors. Alucard sensed a group ten of scientists in a room, they had barricaded themselves in with furniture, a group of guards were ready to fight. They didn't last long as Demoman let loose a volley of grenades, "fat lot o' good that guard trainin' did ya" he taunted after they were taken care of. He attached some sticky bombs to the door, blasting the barricade apart, sending chunks of wood everywhere, wounding five of the scientists and killing one who was too close to the barricade. Not missing a beat Lucy entered and butchered them all.

Kurama could hear the gun fire and explosions getting closer but he felt no fear, he accepted that he would die this day. Soon the door to his office was smashed and in the door way was the girl he captured in all those years ago. They stared at each other for a moment before Lucy spoke, "I've waited years for this, since the day you killed one of the few friends I ever had, remember her, you shot her when she pushed me out of the way" she said. "Yes, and I remember telling you that her death could have been avoided if you had just cooperated" he countered, "yes, you did say that, what else am I to blame for, is it my fault I was born like this, is it my fault I was tormented every day by other orphans simply because of my horns and hair, is it my fault a girl I thought was my friend told them about a dog I found and they killed it in front of me" she said. Kurama was silent, "you say her death was my fault but you're the one that pulled the trigger and afterwards failed to save her, that is if you actually tried, after all your certainly not the caring type" she added.

Kurama sighed, "I did try to save her, but it wasn't good enough" he said. "you said you would if I gave up, yet she still died, you seem to be more skilled at letting people down than anything else, your wife certainly learned that the hard way" she said. Kurama's eyes widened, "what" was all he could manage, "being locked up doesn't leave you with many options to pass the time, usually I would listen to the guards and scientists, they would talk about things that happened in the facility, including how you tried to kill your own daughter and your wife's death after stopping you" she said.

"She must have felt a lot of shame, falling in love with a man like you, someone who would strangle their own newborn child, she probably found death preferable than living with the knowledge of being with you" she said, she wanted to make Kurama's last moments as emotionally painful as possible. She learned that such pain was worse than any physical pain. It worked, Kurama felt like he had been stabbed dozens of times, he honestly believed his wife died hating him. Lucy saw the pained look on his face and prepared a vector, "remember my words Kurama… as you fall into hell, with everyone else in this facility" she said. Kurama looked her in the eye, "I'll be sure to save a spot for you" he said and closed his eyes, ready to embrace death and was decapitated.

Lucy felt her friend had been avenged, but she felt no joy, she wore the same look of disinterest, there was no joy to be felt in killing someone who was as miserable as her, if not more.

Meanwhile group 2 was making their way to the director's office, killing guards and scientists along the way. Anderson had a predatory grin as he sliced everyone in his way. He stopped right in front of a guard who was shaking in fear, but the guard noticed something, "my god, there's not a speck of blood on you; what, do you keep some handy wipes in that coat" he asked. "No, just these" Anderson answered, pulling out six more bayonets. He then stabbed them into the guard, launching him and sticking him to a wall.

The director was a seething mess, all those years of planning, down the drain and now he was going to die. He could hear the gunfire and screams of pain and fear were drawing closer, but unlike Kurama he was panicking. His door was forced open and Heavy entered with medic right behind him. "Heavy is guessing you are director" he said, the director pulled out his pistol and fired at heavy, but because of how worked up he was all but one shot missed, the one that didn't hit heavy in the arm. The wound healed immediately, the bullet was pushed out of the flesh was repaired.

"Vell that vas rude" Medic said sarcastically, "da, Heavy should teach this baby manners" he said menacingly as he dropped his minigun and pounded his fist into his palm. They started walking towards the director, he pulled out a shotgun that was under his desk. He fired it but suddenly heavy was surrounded by a red glow, the pellets bouncing off him harmlessly. The director desperately fired at Heavy but it did nothing, if anything his desperate attempts to save himself amused Heavy, if his chuckling was anything to go by. He heard a click, signaling he was out of ammo and heavy was right in front of him, his ubercharge worn off.

Heavy grabbed the director by the throat and pulled him over the desk and tossed him onto the floor. Heavy kicked him onto his back and straddled him, he then began punching him in the face and chest. "TAKE THIS, AND THAT, LEFT RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT" Heavy yelled, beating the director to a bloody pulp. The director felt like his face was going to cave in, his nose was utterly destroyed, his eyes were so swollen he could barely see anything, all of his teeth were gone or broken, his sternum and ribs were broken, and his organs felt like punching bags. Heavy then punched his windpipe, crushing it, the director spent his final moments gasping for air as he looked at Heavy's face, a sadistic grin visible.

The enforcers regrouped with group 3, they missed a few people but they were killed by the group guarding the exit. A scientist laid on the ground dying, he looked up at the enforcers, "why" he weakly asked, Walker remembered a soldier asking the same thing as he laid dying, "you brought this on yourselves" he said. "But… we were protecting… the human race" he replied. "All you did was make us hate your kind even more" Lucy spat. The scientist didn't say anything as he died.

The group left the building, the military would pick up the civilians and diclonii still in the facility.

AN: so sorry about the wait people, I've been working o my other stories, anyway I hope you enjoyed seeing those soulless bastards get what they deserved. Anyway leave a review and all that, really I would appreciate, but a flame may or may not result in a visit from Freddy Krueger. Also those that watch robot chicken will have spotted a reference to a skit.
