Gunslinger girl Shadows of war Ch.23: Lit fuses and long shots
A/N: I do not own gunslinger girl only my OCs. Any reviews will be nice
Looking out the window at the brunt orange sunrise Chris looked at petra who was still passed out from the Chaos previously and muttered in Russian
"It has been forever and a half since we last saw a movie together and I say we maybe try and catch a ballet maybe swan lake" and Petra rolled over and moaned in pain. As Chris grabbed her hand Petra screamed
"God damn it this hurts" and as she said that her eyes rolled back into blood red spheres and then started bleeding. As Chris jerked himself awake he saw the Orange sun and said
"That was a fucked up nightmare but it has been awhile since I saw a movie with her that part of the dream got right" and he wrote a note to his still sleeping girlfriend saying
"Movie or swan lake ballet tonight your choice" and then grabbed his laundry and walked down to the laundry and started to figure out what had to be burned from the smoke damage or the flame damage from the city of fire which Raccoon City had been nicknamed by the group and Richard walked in and by way of greeting demand
"Do you know why the fuck they sent us to that hellhole and I know the official line was to rescue the Intel agents and other operators but why the fuck not tell us it was going to burn?" and Jean walked in and went to say what his two cents were and Chris said
"If it's about school fuck you, if it's about anything fuck you basically fuck you and fuck off asshole" and Rico saw he was on the brink of tears and she grabbed his arm and looking at Richard yelled
"You know where my laundry goes and I'll see you in the room later" and winked at Richard before helping Chris to Katie's office and knocked on the door and heard the muffled 'enter' and walked in sending Chris sprawling into a nearby chair and closed the door locking it as Katy flipped off the recording system and Rico looking desperate said
"You look like shit and haven't been sleeping as Petra has told me and you cursed out Jean even though the bastard deserved it your eyes had a tick that makes me fear for me and Richard" and Chris' eyes ticked and he said
"Sarge leave me alone Ill complete it just STAND THE FUCK DOWN!" and went for his leg where, fortunately for everybody involved, his holster was in his tactical gear which he had stripped off when he came in. As Petra walked down to the Café she saw that Chris wasn't there and Triela walked in yelling
"Hey sis you better haul ass to Katy's office it involves her charge" and Petra took off at a dead run hoping Chris was ok with Richard in hot pursuit. As they rounded the corner and ran into the room they saw Rico sitting on Chris who was shaking which got rico locking eyes with Richard and she yelled
"God damn it help me with the eel because Gah" as Chris had managed to slide loose and dropped Rico on the floor with a thud. As he stood up he came face to face with Richards .357 and petra's Spectre and dropped his hands and stopped fighting and petra grabbed his hand and waited as his mind slipped back into his past in the JSOC tactical strike units. Looking at the ceiling he yelled
"Chief we are in danger here what should we do? I don't want to have to write anymore letters home" and they helped doctor bianchi slide him into a Memory visualization software and they all saw the man in black with a shotgun and a HK combat rifle and he put the microphone to his lips and they all heard
"Boss what do we do because we may be running head long into an ambush and you know what that means" and they all heard his CO remark coldly
"Yeah we kill them all and if anyone surrenders we rough the boy up and find out what we need to know then send them into the FOB and you all get to take a well-deserved break" and Chris only rolled his eyes before slamming the shotgun back and yelled
"BREACHING!" and sent the fragments into the room and they saw a woman dressed in black yell
"ALLAH AKUBAR" and drop the detonator of the vest and the room was suddenly filled with smoke and fire. As they all saw the fragmentation fill the room and Chris screamed as the fragments of metal and bone tore into his arms and backs as well as the blast knocking him out he came to holding his leg that was full of fragments and he yelled
"Well damn it my sister and older brother get blown up and I go overseas only to die in some sandy hell pit like what the fuck is this shit" then he pushed himself up and started to walk with the help of his CO who saw him keeping a death grip on his .45 and said half jokingly
"make sure no one gets shot on the way out of the building because these mother fuckers aren't target practice" and Chris responded with unloading the mag into the wall killing 3 taliban and isis fighters and he yelled over the ringing in his ears
"Where the fuck is the medics and the QRF like don't they know we are being outgunned here?!" and they were pointed to the door and found that the dust was being kicked up by the winds of a UH60R medivac chopper. Walking out under his own steam he climbed aboard and yelled
"Good bye motherfuckers can't say I'll miss you at all" then he laid back on the stretcher and said a prayer that the shit they had to go through would be the last time they lost so many for so little gain. As he woke up from the dream and seeing he was trapped Chris started to struggle until Triela said
"Brother we are here for you and when you calm down we will help get you out of there" and he waited still as Petra grabbed under his arms and helped him get up and he could only mutter
"Damn that felt weird was it as weird for anyone else?" and Elsa hugged him close and choked back a sob as did Petra saying
"boy now we know your past in the military and I must holy shit that was fucked up but hey I saw you won everything but the medal of honor, well at least the US version" and he looked at her and smiled before saying in a measured tone
"Well you all have seen my past and everyone that along with most of my operations were highly classified so if you could forget that or buy me food that would be great" and they all laughed as Chris picked up Rico and danced with her and then passed her off to Richard before yawning saying
"Yall Im tired as shit so Im gonna take a nap" and Elsa said
"I care about him so if Petra lets me ill put him out for a while" and she proved it as she flicked the side of the syringe and then as Chris rolled over to the sound of his door opening he felt a weight on his chest and as he panicked he heard a whisper
"You need to sleep" and then passed out as the meds entered his bloodstream and knocked him out. As elsa walked back into the room she wiped off the blood from her lip because when Chris thrashed he hit her in the lip causing her to mutter
"Damn that boy has a mean back hand" before wandering off to the doctors to get her lip and nose looked at. As Chris started to get up from a 3 hour nap that was needed although entirely unwanted. Pulling on a black shirt over his scars and the eagle tattoo and he looked at the tattoo I the mirror and saw that the eagle, two guns, and the skull chest plate where still pitch black and the bundle of arrows and the lightning bolts and the railroad spike in the claws he looked and pulled the shirt on and smiled saying
"Damn I need to get a couple more tattoos maybe a snake on each arm and maybe have them wrapped in barbed wire but I'll figure that out later" and he walked out to find his girlfriend sitting there in just a bikini. As his mind started to process what was happening he asked a little dizzy
"So baby what the hell are you doing because I mean I thought we were living on the war alert at all times" and she grabbed his hand and said
"No work for you now lets go and I know you aren't gonna fight me cause I have boobs I make the rules" and he just muttered
"You are so right and damn I love you a lot" and they hopped into the hot tub with a couple of beers and as they started to relax the beers that they had the day were starting to go flat and Chris dumped the beers out and muttered more pissed off than anything
"Damn ill go get us a few more beers" and right as he grabbed them he saw Jean standing there and said
"Put those damn beers down now and get your girlfriend out of the water because we have a meeting that you are to sit in on" before Jean saw that he was taking too long and yelled
"Now damn it the target is in a hotel and its time sensitive and we have to hit them now!" and after the drive which was petal to the metal he wandered in to the meeting with his shirt off revealing the tats and scars when he saw the Saudi and Italian weapons dealers as well as the Chinese supplier. Sitting there Chris looked at Etta as well as Petra and he said in Spanish as their Guests didn't know that he asked
"what the fuck is going on here" and then switching to English as they were in a suite in Sicily and they listened as the men dropped their proposal. The Chinese man, who refused to give his name which served the group just fine because all they wanted was the intel and to disrupt a terror cell so the men in front of them were going to die shortly and either quick or slowly and painfully depending on what they heard, saying
"We want the americans and there Italian allies out of the way and Sicilian mobsters and soldiers have said they want to have the island for their own so and then combine with the southern mainland-" Chris said
"I know about the separatist movements but you said you need security so what the fuck are we guarding" and he slammed his fist down on the table and what he heard sealed the mens fate
"DF-21C and D models and you know the D model is a ship killer so you will guard them as we ship them to Arabia then set them up so they can attack both Iran and the dogs in the US and trust me you will be well rewarded and there will even be small arms for those dogs so don't worry you will get paid to train them" and in one motion the "guard force" that they ahd hired stood up and Chris stuck his hand out holding a suppressed .40 caliber handgun and he spat out in Arabic
"Go to hell you fucking dog" and slammed 3 rounds into his chest as the rest of the group swarmed the room and slashed the throat of the Italian and the Saudi had a longer way to go. As they slammed him into a chair he screamed
"Ill do anything" and Chris pulled his knife out and said with a wicked grin
"Hold still then and please for the love of god don't-" and he didn't finish the sentence as a yellow puddle started on his pants and grew on the tile floor. As petra laughed at that Chris said
"You little pussy I'm going to enjoy this" and slowly fileted the man alive before carving the initials of a known Padania hitman in his flesh then in a easy swish cut the man's balls off and then stabbed the knifes smooth black blade into his brainstem followed by Petra ramming the man's balls in his mouth and yelled
"lets go and Im sure this left a message" and finished by hanging a pipe bomb between his legs as well as tying the rest of the bodies with explosives almost as if a mob hit had been carried out and they knew the rest of the mens guard details would find the bodies and thus had to die. Upon returning and tipping off the 7th fleet and the JSOC seal teams as well as SOCOM so they could assign the teams for the desert raid Petra whispered
"Boy we have some unfinished business to take care of and they hopped back in the hot tub and as Petra soaked her top floated up and she laughed uttering
"Boy don't just stand there do something" and he started to kiss all over her body and nibbled on her chest and then said
"You may make the rules but rules are made to be broken" and all petra would moan was
"Shut up and kiss me" as the rest of the girls grabbed stun grenades and muttered
"Training begins now" as they let the flash bangs sail through the air in a slow overhand arc toward the hot tub then ducked knowing that Petra and Chris wouldn't be pleased but the group didn't give a damn they were just getting a kick out of it.
