Innocents Ch. 17
Reviewers:
Masaki-Hanabusa: Thank you, I'll try! Yes, everyone will find out soon enough, da?
SocietyMember: No, it isn't weird. Wait, they're breeding? OH. HELL. Notes: Slept better last night, yay!
Begin:
"Here's you weapons, sirs." Toris, Ravis, and Eduard huffed as they carried three large boxes of guns, a pipe, frying pans, a wok, and...a grenade?
"Thank you." Ivan smiled as he picked up a box. Ludwig and Antonio followed. They carried the weapons towards the kitchen, sorting them out. Chun had her woks, the frying pans went to Lien and Elizabeta. Feliks and Lovina got sniper rifles (because they're totally awesome, no Prussian intended), Feliciana, Antonio, Amelia, and Arthur were given pistols, Ludwig, Sadik, and Yong Soo received shot guns, Toris, Raivis, and Eduard had gotten their own sniper rifles, Antonio already had his battle ax, and the 'Mafia five' (who had followed Antonio into the prison in chapter 16) had their own weapons. The grenade was for Mr. Karpusi, just in case. Oh yeah, Francis brought his own dueling sword, if that helps.
"So, everyone has their weapons?" Hercules came in and asked. The 'normal' prisoners were put on extra guard duty, and they weren't even allowed to go outside now.
"Si!" Antonio grinned, holding up his large battle ax.
"Quick question, how in the hell did you get a battle ax in the first place?" Lovina asked.
"Well, I brought it from Spain. Before I was a cook, I fought bulls!" He grinned as if that explained everything.
"Why were you fighting bulls with a battle ax?" Lovina gave him a 'WTF' look.
"Well, I had to earn extra money somehow to get here!" Antonio gave Lovina one of his happy grins. She face palmed, blushing.
"Okay..." Hercules said real softly. "I know that Legolas, Natalya, Madeline, and Gilbert will be here soon. They need weapons also if they're going to fight."
"Ja. I haven't seen bruder in a vhile. So, vhen is this whole fight, anyvay?"
"We don't know, but I have a feeling that it's soon. Hey, what's the grenade for?"
"We just found it the box." Eduard shrugged.
"Oh. Well I'll take that. Okay, the 'Mafia Five' will be waiting outside of the prison, four hidden. I need someone as bait."
"Bait?" Matthias looked at Heracles oddly.
"Yes, so that when they come for the 'bait', you four will start shooting. Ludwig, Antonio, Arthur, Amelia, I want you to go into town immediately and see if there's any people. You know what to do. Elizabeta's husband Roderich, is coming later before evening to help with the battle, he's got his own guards, and Elizabeta has reached more willing nurses from Hetown to help. This is life or death, people," Heracles stopped, catching his breath a little. Then he continued.
"I want you all...to kill any stray prisoners who are under influence of this bad guy. Understood?"
They all nodded.
"Good. There are a lot of people who can't fight, and I want you to protect them. The nurses are extremely important, and I'll add more guards by their door later. Francis, Yong Soo, you will help the Mafia Five with the prisoners. Kristina, Tiina, you are snipers. Matthias, you're pretty loud, you're the bait. Berwald, Francis, and Yong Soo can guard the snipers while shooting or fighting. Toris, Ravis, and Eduard, I want you three to contact Ivan's sister to get some more help. At the battle, you three can join in the killing spree. "
"Hey! Why am I the bait? I'm more awesome than these-OW! Kristina!" He whined as she hit him.
"Moron. You're older than us, and annoying." She huffed. Feliciana grinned at her Aunt figure. Nope, they haven't changed a bit.
"They haven't changed a cazzo bit." Lovina growled at Matthias.
"Lovina! I'm your father figure!" Matthias whined.
"Was, asshole. Was."
"I'm starting to dislike Lovina's language." Tiina whispered. Berwald nodded. However, she was grown and can make her own decisions as long as they weren't stupid.
…...
A cloaked figure came up and knocked on the prison door. There were eight more figures with him, and they were all cloaked. Heracles had let him in.
"What can I do for you, Mr-?" He drawled.
"I've heard of there might be danger." Mr. Jones pulled the hood of his cloak down.
"Mr. Jones?" Heracles looked at him in shock, he was expecting Roderich, not the mayor!
"Yes. I heard a rumor of prisoner's escaping, and I wanted to bring backup." Mr. Jones said.
The cloaked figures lowered their hoods, and they looked like ordinary guards.
"Mr. Jones?"
"Just in case. I want to stay the night for Amelia's sake." The man pleaded with Mr. Heracles.
"Fine. Stay in jail cell number three, it's empty. These eight can guard the other prisoners, when the battle comes, they'll join the fight." Heracles said. Ludwig, Feliciana, Arthur, and the rest were allowed to go wherever necessary. If they lived in a cell, the door was unlocked so they could quickly get to their stations. Whenever the bad guy would make his move, so would they.
…...
Katyusha was in the kitchen, and she was pleasantly surprised that Sadik helped her cook. He was very good at it, and he payed attention to her eyes, and not her bust. She would blush slightly, and Feliks would then tease the two. Since Feliks, Lien, and Sadik were to guard the kitchen, they wanted to cook stuff while protecting their new friends, Katyusha and the older cousin of Chun, Lien, Yong Soo and others; Kasem Chao.
…...
"Daddy, why are you here?" Amelia was guarding the rough prisoners, and her father shows up out of the blue!
"Dearest, I'm here to make sure you're safe." Mr. Jones smiled warmly.
"With more guards? Daddy, you never visited the night with more guards, what's up?"
"Well, I heard a rumor that somebody wants to take over the prisoners and set them loose. Amelia, I care about you and Madeline, I don't want you two hurt." Mr. Jones hugged his daughter.
"Thanks, Dad." Amelia smiled in his shirt. Mr. Jones, however was giving Arthur a deadly glare. Arthur cringed and found himself backing away slightly.
"No problem, sweetie." He smiled, 'Evil Glare from Hell' never leaving Arthur.
"No. Problem."
…...
Heracles was guarding the door, he heard another knock.
He opened the door, expecting the main bad guy, but found Roderich Edelstein there with some guards.
"Did you forget me?" He asked in his strange accent. Heracles shook his head.
"No, how can I forget you? You're helping us with our mini war against the prisoners. Hey, look who's coming." Heracles looked behind Roderich. Madeline, Gilbert, Legolas, Morgens, and Romulus were walking towards the prison.
Roderich gave Gilbert a glare, the latter grinned and hugged Madeline.
"So. It's you." Roderich said as Gilbert and the others got closer.
"Kesese! Ja, ze awesome me vith ze mein awesome Birdie!" He grinned as Madeline blushed.
"Hello, Mr. Romulus." Roderich greeted.
"Hello, Roderich, how's life?" Romulus greeted his former babysitter.
"Well, it's good. I don't want Elizabeta here, but she does, and who am I to keep her away from her dreams?"
"Good on you. May we come in, Mr. Warden?"
"Yes." Heracles said as he opened the door for his allies.
…...
Very soon, people. Also, I've gotten more sleep, and I'm feeling hyper/happy! Also, Romulus wanted Roderich and Elizabeta to take care of his grandkids because he really didn't trust the 'Mafia Five' to babysit. Now he trusts them, but his grandkids are too old for babysitters, even Marcello. Next chapter will be more fluffiness with couples, since I tend to leave them alone a bit.
