You finally see what the 'bet' is. Sorry if grammar is off and stuff I didn't ready it before so pardon my errors. It feels good to be posting again. So happy reading!
Last time on street rats~
"The boy from back then will soon take up the sword. Those who lament powerlessness won't be able to do anything. The boy from back then will take up the black sword. Hate and Rage are a double-edged blade. Soon, one day, he will bare his fangs against fate. I believe it is implying a child who experienced something tragic and this would be the place to start. There are only 3 refugee camps. This being one of them. I'm pretty sure that a child from wall Shina could have experienced something tragic like these kids." Alice spoke.
"How did you remember that?" Levi asked though all he got was a shrug from her. Then their meeting continued. They came to a conclusion to talk more once the go to the next camp tomorrow.
"Alright well I'm not even hungry anymore so I think I'm gonna head back so I will see you all later." Alice said standing up from the table. It was dark out the sun had set and the lanterns shone on a path that led to the hotel. The moon dark not wanting to show his face to the world that night.
"You should't head back by yourself you know. I'll go with you I'm whipped myself." Hanji added standing as well. Lilyann did the same.
"Well then I guess the three of you are leaving and going to bed. Zane and I will have fun and go get some dinner." Levi said as he watched the girls walk away. "Alright see you bright and early!"
The next two days passed by quickly. Only about 3 more children fitting their descriptions that they had found profiles for. Some had been burned or had been lost with the great wall. But all in all they did a good job. On the third day they had gotten back late to HQ and had quickly gone to bed. Only Alice and Levi remained up to give the mission details to Irvin.
"So I''m assuming the mission went well?" Levi nodded to his commander placing the 10 files on his desk.
"We had found more then that but records were lost. Were sorry but I might be able to find them if I can snoop around." Alice suggested. But received a shaking head.
"No I need you here to finish the training you started a while ago. As long as you can finish your training before winter time I might let you do that with some of the other people I brought into this little 'program'." Levi furrowed his eye brows at the last word 'program'.
"What do you mean by program sir?" Levi asked Alice nodding at his question also wondering.
"Well did you guys think that you were the only criminals I brought here. You are just two of the 30: pairs, singles, and groups. It's a little experiment of my own if you will. If the price is right I think criminals will do anything. Don't worry non of the 'others' know about this either but, I will call you all to the meeting room tomorrow afternoon so you can see." Alice bristled at this. She didn't like the sound of this at all. Levi could sense her disturbance.
"What do you mean? I don't get it at all." Levi said stepping forward gesturing his arms outward.
"Well your the one who agreed to this. This was part of the bet, don't you remember? It's just a simple game to save humanity the quickest. You'll see later." Irvin said, "Your dismissed see you in the morning bright and early."
"Come on." Alice grabbed Levi by the wrist and pulled him out of the room. Both of them seeming to have tension building up inside them. They exited the office and quickly made their way outside, were an argument erupted.
"So now will you tell me what this t was?! I'm starting to be grabbed into something I didn't sign up for!"
"I...I told him that I would participate in this game and then he said he would release you! I have no idea what the game was. All he told me was to kill. That's what I've been doing."
"Why would you accept something like that when you don't know what the game was?! Are you stupid?!"
"No I was in love! I was tired I was restless not knowing what was happening to you! I wanted to see you just one more time before I was set in the ground! But, he's offered me a second chance I didn't care what the price was at the time! Just knowing that I got to see you again made me so happy. You were the only person who saved me, gave me a reason to live." Levi said just pouring his feeling basically into his speech. Alice look a little shocked but didn't say anything. "It's getting late I should get going. You need to get some sleep." Levi started walking away and Alice just watched him but, not for long. She reached out and ran quickly after him. Crashing into him, wrapping her arms around his torso from behind. Shoving her face in his back as she spoke.
"I'm sorry Levi for yelling at you. I shouldn't have. I'm just afraid...of what this might hold." She felt him turn around in the semi-embrace, she moved her hands up to cup his face. "I just hope that in the end you'll still love me." That was the last thing said before she kissed him. It didn't take him to long either to return the kiss. A sweet moment of bliss, passion and desire. Though it was supposed to be a short kiss, it seemed to turn in to what it had been a few days before in the stair case. They broke for air after a while.
"Why don't you come to my place. We can have some tea and talk it over." Levi suggested and Alice nodded.
"I'd like that." Alice smiled.
The next night came quickly. During the day Alice's training was straight on schedule. She continued learning to use her hearing over her sight. After a while in her training Irvin had her train side-by-side with some of the best in the Scouting Legion, even then she was able to keep up now. As day turned the beautiful shade of pink orange the anticipation of what this game was seemed to bubble inside both Alice and Levi.
"All special corpse please report to the meeting room at once Commander Irvin is waiting your arrival in the main building. I repeat, all special corpse please report to the meeting room in the main building." The loud speaker spoke alerting the whole base of the meeting.
"I guess that's us." Alice said arising from her seat at the dinner table.
"Alright lets get this done and over with." Levi commented a few steps ahead of her already throwing what was left of his dinner out. "Hurry up."
"Right!" The brown haired girl quickly got up from her seat following him throwing her stuff away. The two quickly made their way to the meeting room. Levi showing her the way to the area.
"This is so stupid, why are we here? Huh! Give me an answer damn it!" As they walked into a room a large man was looking at Irvin almost screaming in his face.
"Well if you calm down and take a seat I will explain when everyone get's here I'll explain it. Were just waiting on one more person now." The commanders voice was calm even as the man screamed in his face. In the meeting room was a large round table a lot of people took most of the spot a lot were standing. A small button and speaker sat in front of the main chair. "Can Aponivi Michaelis please join us in the meeting room." Irvin spoke into the loud speaker projecting all over campus.
"Can you not do that. I was just about to enter the room." A pale girl said coming in her red eyes darting around the room. Her left arm rubbing the other but quickly pulled down her sleeve slightly as if trying to cover the scars that could be seen even without covering them. Her skin gave off a pinkish tint. Alice immediately knew what they were from while Levi stared thinking hard at the girl as she gave a small wave to him. After the Levi instantly recognized her.
"She was a cellmate of mine, she looks nice with meat on her bones. The last time I saw her she was skin and bones." Levi said pulling Alice over to some available seats.
"Good now were all here." Irvin quickly closed the door. "It's nice to see all 30 of you here together. My 30 game players."
"Just spit it out old man we don't have time for your rambling." A man yelled out a scar ran down his face from his forehead all the way down to his chin. It cut through his lip and down his nose down his eye as well, though his eye was open were the scar was it was milky. Giving you the chills when you look directly at it.
"Alright. I will." Commander smirked. "First I will remind you all why you are here and not in a cell rusting or in the experimental lab slowly rotting in you own self. You were all made a deal. You got what you all wanted now it is time for my end. I told you all it would be coming, I picked you all for a specific reason. Your all good at what you do, killing, now I need you to do that for me."
"No problem, who do you want dead Commander?" A big busted girl called out lust filled her eyes as she looked at him. Another girl stood next to her her hands on her small waist cocking her head looking at everyone else. The two looked like twins both with blonde hair and striking purple eyes that could see into the deepest core of your soul, making you wither into nothing bigger then a speck.
"Well what does our organization do. We kill Titans. That's what I want but, it is a game. You are all the best of the best some of the worst criminals these walls have ever seen are in this room. Like you two." He pointed to the two girls in the back. "'The Sexy Killers' Lizzy Fluery and Amelia Fluery murdered 87 men. You would prostitute yourselves and kill them in their sleep stealing their belongings to survive. 'The Lonely Lovers'." The Commander pointed to a pair in the corner. The male was missing his leg while the girl was skinny obviously she had just come here recently. "Vivianna Vale and James Madia. You two killed 42 including those killed in the experimental lab and jail. The girl would lure people into the alleys while the boy would kill them. Then my favorite, the ones I believe will win this bet who have the highest kill score. 'The Street Rat's' Alice Lockheart and Levi Rivalle. With 142 kills under their belt including those they killed in both the experimental lab and jail. Though when they were arrested they only had 17 kills combined though that was all the military could trace back to them. They didn't account for 76 kills they committed as children." All eyes were on them. "You would do anything to get there attention then kill them instantly but only took what was necessary to survive. The two of you sold drugs for cash for food but, while you supplied yourselves with food you gave food to children who couldn't do what you do. Sometimes not eating for days just to let others eat."
"Well that's stupid why would you do that?! Only the strongest survive if you were being strong then why feed the weak?!"
"It may be a dog eat dog world out there but even if you can lend a helping hand it may help you in the long run." Alice spoke her whole body language changed. Instead of being happy and cheerful like normal as the conversation changed so did her mood. She had become more serious, her partner did as well.
"I see faces of people that we have helped in here, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be here if we hadn't given up the last scrap of bread we had, or even given you a blanket on the harsh winter nights. If we had been selfish we wouldn't have been caught and would still most likely be on the streets. None of you would have survived if it hadn't been for that nice act. I admit it but I was saved to. Given a chance of hope just through a smile, a new friend." Levi added in.
"He's right if it hadn't been for them to help me and Ash we would probably have died in a fight." A small girl spoke up she was around the age of 14 her older brother stood next to her he was only 2 years older. Both had the same black hair and purple eyes that caused Alice to shiver every time she looked into them.
"Why don't we get back on track now." Irvin imputed, "As I was saying earlier. You are all the best criminals for the job. As you know, the Scouting Legions goal is to be able to save humanity and rid the titans from the earth." He paused, "I want all of you to kill as many as you can, simple enough right. You will work in your criminal pair if you are in pairs and work alone if you are solo. But, if you fall into the bottom 15." Irvin drew his pointer finger across his throat. "You will be killed if you already haven't been by the time this game is over." Conversations erupted and some people started crying terrified. Though some remained silent. "Some of you will die from Titans others from my own blade. If you haven't noticed on you maneuver gear for those of you that have completed training there is a counted hooked into you blades. It counts every titan you kill. There will be 2 winners 1 solo player and 1 team. Teams your points will be added up since there is only 2 people in each team here. The top person in each category will win."
"What will they win?" Someone asked from the back.
"Ill tell you once I finish explaining. Now, the way I will get the losing people will be by taking everyone's points and seeing who has the lowest points out of everyone but, if you are in the winning team you have immunity unless your points are far from the other soldiers. Like for instance, one person has 127 kills while the other has 5 kills. If there is a big gap in kills, like more then 50 you will not have immunity."
"What do we get if we win? And when will this game end?" Levi said his interest peeked.
"The game will end when humanity wins against the Titans, also you can get immunity by saving humanity. Finally, if you win you will be considered a noble in the new world but, for certain you will be free. For those you are not killed will be put back into jail or into the experimental institute were they came from. If you do not want to participate then speak now I will take you back to the place you came here from. Other then those few things it's all fair game just don't kill people you are up against. I will know and will find out." No one objected and Irvin took this.
"Alright then I will see you all bright and early." Irvin dismissed everyone.
"I wasn't expecting that at all..." Levi said as he watched the Commander. Everyone seemed a little distraught, though they all filtered out of the room quickly.
"I don't think anyone was. But, I guess that it's just the easiest way for him to reach his goal. We have nothing to give up and were willing to do anything to do something to make us feel alive again." Aponivi commented.
"Its nice to see you again Aponivi." Levi said, "Those I guess in this situation it isn't."
"Well I don't know about you but, I'm sure I'm gonna win the individual. More then likely your gonna win as well since you the favorites. You both have a target on your back just from him saying that. Also you kill count doesn't help either." She paused, "Well I'm heading out now. I shall see you all in a few hours. Nice seeing you again Levi it's nice to finally see the person you've been talking about all of those years." Aponivi smiled at both of them before taking her leave.
"Who was that?" Alice questioned looking at Levi with a slightly confused face.
"Her and I shared a cell for a few years so we know each other pretty well. It's been a while since I've seen her though. She was taken here 4 years ago, though I've been here for 1 and half so I'm surprised I haven't seen her around." Levi said as they started walking.
"That is a little odd." Alice commented before being quiet.
"Levi can I speak to you for a moment. Alone." A voice called the two turned around and saw Aponivi standing there.
"Uh yeah sure. Alice I'll see you tomorrow alright. Good night." He smiled before turning around.
"Good night." Alice said he voice trailing off as she started to walk away, she sighed. "Just my luck an old friend turns up just as I start getting closer to him...So much happened in the last 4 years that I haven't seen him. It's like we've become two different people from who we were before. It's scary because I don't want that to happen." Alice talked to herself, her eyes tearing up slightly. "I want everything to be the way it was before but,...I guess that will never happen." While she talked to herself she found herself back into the female dorms. Almost at her room. In her room she was all alone, Petra had gone to the new training facility they set up somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Now that reality was starting to hit her in the face she wanted to be alone and that was what she got for the rest of the night.
So I hope you guys enjoyed this! I'm working on a new story called "The Dragon Princess" it is a Fairy Tail fanfic probably going to be Sting x OC it might be Hibiki x OC but I haven't decided yet. xD SO i shall give you a preview of the first chapter now it will be the first page of the RAW edition so don't expect everything to be prefect. The OC character is Melanie she has a twin brother and his name is Lucius. Enjoy!
The air was thin in the cave as a girl around the age of 17 staggered in. Her black hair matted to her face from sweat, scarlet liquid dripping down her right arm. A crescent shape rest upon her forehead in a light purple color. Her left hand applying pressure to the major wound on her right arm. The once white dress she wore was ash filled and bloodied.
"Get in and hurry! I don't know how much longer I can protect you!" A male voice resounded through the cave the beautiful girl slightly stood in. Loud booms, crashes sounded from outside the entrance to the enchanting cave. The glowing teal cave walls trembled as another loud crash sounded.
"Lucius...You can't protect me any longer for we are outnumbered. Our only...option is to...seal ourselves and escape." The girl groaned through gritted teeth, her knees gave out causing her to slide down the icy walls of the cave.
"God of protection give me the power, Dragon wall of iridescence." A large iridescent wall appeared in front of the cave entrance. A boy around the same age as the girl stood there. Beat up, tattered. Her wore fancy attire which wasn't very presentable to anyone. Blood covered him making it impossible to tell were it was coming from.
"Lucius...how long do you think we have?"
"Not long at all 10 minutes at most. Though these hunters are relentless. I don't think Igneel will be able to stand them any longer. But, Don't worry my sister everything will be fine." Lucius sail moving closer to his sister. A glowing orb rested on his forehead it glowed a light green color.
Goddess of the Earth orince of the light, give me the power to heal the bright." Lucius's hands glowed a beautiful green color as he touched his sisters right arm. The wound closed leaving the iron liquid in it's place. "Melanie the only way to save ourselves is to go to the human world." The girl shook her head.
"We've only heard stories of that world from the Dragons! We don't know anything about that place!" Melanie's melodic voice filled the cave. Worry pain and sorrow could be detected along the musical phrase. Fear could be seen in her golden eyes.
"Don't forget Sigurd. We can summon him once we get there. He'll help us."
"But what if we don't fit in? Do all humans have marks on their forehead like us? Do they all have dragon friends?" Melanie spewed quickly unable to keep up with the questions in her head.
"I don't know. I guess we will see when we get there. Let's just open the gate and figure things out there." Lucius said grabbing her hand pulling her up. The girl leaned on her brother, using him to steady herself. The both moved to the center of the cave. The teal walls glistening as the sounds outside got louder and louder. The floor shaking beneath their feet.
"The wall won't hold up much longer. Let's do this quick." Lucius grabbed his sisters other hand while still holding the other.
"Oh heavens give me the key, to unlock the world that stands before me. Through the darkest day and the lightest night. Show us the way through the gate." Melanie said first trying to remember the enchantment.
"Goddess of the Earth guide us through the gate. Open the world before our eyes."
"Open in the name of the prince and princess of dragons! Open the gate to the human world!" With that chant together a gate opened between their bodies.
So that was the first part of the new story I'm writing. I hope you enjoyed that! Comment, Review, and Follow or Favorite or Both! I shall have the new story up soon and if you want tell me which story you think will be better: Hibiki x OC or Sting x OC
