Author's Note: Well, I'm back again! After some edits, I have managed to release this next chapter. For the past few weeks, I have watched the 2nd trailer for the upcoming Avengers film and I'm still strucked by its awesomeness after I've watched it a hundred of times! And TrailblazingArtist, thanks for your amazing review. I use the anime outfit for BRS since it's more like a hybrid of the OVA and game version and it's a cool design; on Cap, I use the costume from the Avengers film. Others hated the costume due to the helmet but when you watch the trailers, it's cool and awesome in motion.
I'm also planning to use some elements from the game, but I'll put that aside. Don't worry guys, I'll use it for my other future projects. So here it is: Chapter 5! This is the first team-up of Captain America and Black Rock Shooter!
Huke, Ordet and Good Smile Company owns Black Rock Shooter.
Marvel, Joe Simon, and Jack Kirby owns Captain America.
"Are you ok, kid?"
Rock snapped and she stood up and looked at the mysterious man who saved her.
"Thanks for saving me, Mister. And… who are you?" BRS inquired.
"Save that for later. Let's take out these guys first." The mysterious man takes a fighting stance using a shield.
Something had clicked on the man's mind. "Hey, you have that big cannon of yours, right?"
"Uh, yeah. So what's with that?" BRS inquired.
Then he told the girl. "It seems that your weapon is powerful. You take down the HYDRA Power Armors out while I'll take of those 5 ugly guys out there. I'm going to make a distraction on those guys while you charge on those big guns. Is that clear?"
BRS has second thoughts on what the mysterious man said. She retorted. "Those big scrap metal guys out there? All right, I'll do it. But… are you sure this is going to work?"
The man responded with a smile. "Just trust me on this."
The soldiers saw the mysterious man in front of them. "What the hell is Captain America doing here!"
"No matter what it takes, let's take that bastard down, including that flame-eyed twintailed slut!" The squad leader ordered.
"HAIL HYDRA!" As they shouted, they're starting to rain fire from their laser rifles.
Captain America continues to hold his shield as he continues to protect them from the incoming fire. "Here they come. You ready?"
"Yeah." BRS replied, gripping her Rock Cannon.
"Let's go! MOVE!" Cap ordered.
They began to dash against the HYDRA units with Cap using his shield as a defensive weapon. BRS followed him and when he is throwing his shield, BRS jumped high and with quickness and finesse, she managed to take down two of the Power Armors with her Rock Cannon. She noticed that someone was behind her as one Power Armor wants to grab her, but it was a failed attempt as she is avoiding it by jumping and does a back flip in the air. Then she aimed her Rock Cannon from airborne and tries to do a charged shot on the Power Armor from behind.
Thanks to the fact that he threw his shield, Cap managed to knock out three soldiers successfully. While running, Cap catches it like a boomerang, and then he jumped in the air and throws as landing punch on one soldier. It was one big blow and knocked out from that punch. Then the remaining soldier tries to attack him using his rifle yet he blocked it using his shield and he throws a quick combo of a punch to the head and a sidekick to the lower body, instantly defeating him. Then Cap turned his sights on the 2 Power Armors continuously attacking BRS. The girl is still using her Rock Cannon to make a distraction for them, hoping that there will be an opening to finish them off. But she had a hard time fighting the two remaining Power Armors because they were also skilled and they know her attack patterns. Immediately, Captain America dashed forward and throws his shield to the forehead of the machine, creating some damage. Like the last time, it bounces and he catches it then he jumped high and does a strong kick to the head, making the Power Armor fell. BRS noticed this as an opening so she did a full charged shot from her Rock Cannon and fired it, completely destroying the giant machine. One machine left and fired a large energy shot at her. BRS tried to counter it by preparing a charged shot yet Captain America comes in and uses his shield to block the power shot. The shot was so powerful and all he can do is to use his strength to block it, also protecting BRS.
He turned to BRS and told her. "Kid, NOW!"
BRS nodded and when she saw the opening, she dashed in and fired her Rock Cannon with several shots, damaging the arms and the chest part. She took out her Black Blade and slashed the Power Armor's legs, damaging them off, making the Power Armor malfuctioned. She jumped away to prepare herself; she fired her Rock Cannon to the damaged legs and exploded, making the machine fell. Then she went up and opened the entrance of the cockpit by slashing it with her Black Blade and she saw the pilot, which is female. The female pilot took out his gun yet her hand was kicked by BRS. Then the twintailed girl grabbed the female pilot as she began to interrogate her, "Who the hell are you!"
Cap came at the scene with BRS interrogating the pilot. The pilot, answered with conviction in her eyes. "You're the great Black Rock Shooter, aren't you? Can't believe that a little kid like you can kick our asses."
Pissed, BRS shouted, "How do you guys know my real name!"
Then the pilot chuckled and smiled sadistically, "Remember this, bitch. We're the first of many. You cut off one head; two more shall take its place!"
The pilot pushed a remote switch. Then the Power Armor sets its self-destruct mode with the 10-second limit. And her last words she said "Hail HYDRA…!"
"Kid, get out! That thing's gonna blow!" Cap shouted.
BRS noticed the self-destruct timer at the inner part of the cockpit. But it was 3 seconds left and-
BOOM!
Cap covered his eyes and when he opened them, he saw fire and smoke as he saw the Power Armor is destroyed in pieces.
"KID!" Cap shouted. Suddenly, the smoke cleared and he saw that BRS is standing there, unaffected by the explosion. What make him surprised is not only she survived the explosion but he saw a mysterious blue flame on her left eye. Then BRS passed out, losing her energy a bit yet Cap catches her.
"Kid, are you all right?" Cap asked.
BRS opened her eyes and looked on the masked man. "Yeah, I guess."
Rock got up and took off the dust from her clothes. "It seems that explosion didn't affect you at all. Do you have superpowers or something?" he inquired.
"Well, don't mention it. For me, it's always like this." BRS replied. Then something clicked on her mind. "Wait, Mato!" She turned to Cap. "Did you see Mato? She was kidnapped!"
"You mean that girl? Don't worry, she's safe now." Cap told her. "Currently, she was taking home by my partner."
"Thank goodness." BRS sighed in relief. She approached the man and bowed. "Thank you for saving my friend."
"No problem. By the way, you kicked their asses. I'm impressed." He commented.
She blushed and rubbed her head as she replied back. "Uh, thanks. And thank you for helping me back there."
"I'm off to go now." Cap said, signaling that he'll leave the area.
"Wait!" BRS stopped him a bit. "I want to know who these people are. And what's your name?"
He turned back and told her. "I'm Captain America. You were called Black Rock Shooter, right? Not a bad name." And he continued to go on his way.
"Captain!" BRS shouted.
And the man turned. "You never answered my first question!"
Instead, he replied with a smile. "I'll tell you everything… when we meet again. Any time, any chance." And he started to run.
As she saw him run away, she thought that this will be the day she would never forget: she met a man who saved her and her friend. The one who also adorned a star, just like her. And he also fights to help her. The man who carries a shield. She can't help but to smile.
"Thanks for helping me. Thank you… Captain America."
Kuroi Residence
Mato was sleeping on the couch. Yomi, Dead Master, Yuu, and STR are also present; most of them are glad to see Mato safe. Dead Master wondered who the culprits behind Mato's abduction are and their objectives. STR also had deep thoughts, even though she didn't talk too much, she is also ready to protect her friends from danger. Yomi, on the other hand, worried at first yet she was happy that her friend is safe.
Mato opened her eyes as she woke up. And she saw that her friends are here, except Rock. She bolted up from her bed. "Where's Rock!"
"She'll be on her way." Yomi replied.
"Good thing that you're ok, Mato." Dead Master said. "Everyone's worried here, including your mother."
Mato tried to remember everything until she grabbed one memory of it. She said, "I see. All I remember is when I went out of the bathroom, I felt something hit me on the head and I passed out. And lastly, I woke up here."
STR spoke. "Correction: You were knocked out."
Dead Master nodded and wondered. "Someone is trying to kidnap you. Rock-chan tried to chase the kidnappers and she saved you. And someone brought you home."
Mato thought up a bit. "Ok. Rock came and tried to save me. But who brought me home?" Mato inquired.
"A foreigner. She has blonde hair. And she's American." Dead Master said.
"Oh really." Mato replied. She was thankful for Rock to being there with her. Her Other Self. One of her friends. She can't help but being very happy since she has a protector. Not only that, she is also glad that someone from a foreign country helped her.
The door opened and everyone saw BRS coming in. BRS was so glad that she saw Mato and she's ok. She rushed in and gave her a hug. "Mato, thank goodness you're safe!"
"Oh, come on, Rock. Don't be like that." Mato groaned. "I'm glad that you came to rescue me. Thanks, Rock-chan."
BRS relieved on Mato's words. Even though she tried to save her, the credit goes to the man known as Captain America. But she decided to herself not to tell them because she thought that something bad might happen. She thought that it will be best that she will tell the whole story when the right time comes. So she let go off Mato and sat beside her.
"Aside from Mato, anybody of you got hurt?" BRS inquired.
"We managed to get out of the mall safely." Dead Master told her. "The best part is we even brought all the stuff we buy." When BRS heard this, she noticed that most of the stuff they bought are already there. She thought that whether they have them or not, the very important thing is that Mato is safe.
Ms. Kuroi, Mato's mother, carried glasses and a juice for the girls for refreshments. They began to fill the glasses with the juice and they started to drink.
"Thank you so much!" they echoed in unison.
"You kids have a hard time since my daughter was kidnapped." Mato's mother said. "To be honest, I was worried about Mato. But I was glad that she's safe. I know you'll protect her, Rock-chan. Even though you and your friends came from the Otherworld. Even you look different, you're not dangerous at all. Isn't that right, Rock-chan?"
"Uh, yeah. Thank you so much, Kuroi-san. Honestly, I and my friends tried to live a normal life here. Because we want to know what it feels like to be here, at the expense of hiding our identities." She explained.
"Yeah, I appreciate that. Also, I love the way on how you and Mato are being together, even though you two looked alike." Then Ms. Kuroi looked on Yomi and Dead Master. "And it seems that you are also happy for Mato, Yomi-chan."
Yomi noticed this and looks on Mrs. Kuroi. "Because of these two, Dead-chan also realized what friendship really means. And you also helped her, Yomi-chan. You helped her to manage herself in living here."
Yomi blushed on Mrs. Kuroi's remark. And to someone's surprise, Dead Master also blushed, too! They looked at each other with curious faces. Ms. Kuroi chuckled on the scene and at the same time, both BRS and Mato bursts with laughter at the two.
Yomi and Dead Master both exclaimed. "Hey, what's so funny!"
BRS responded with a smile as she pointed the two. "From the looks of it, I believe you two are worried about Mato and you are both blushed on what Kuroi-san said."
"Yeah, it's really cute to see you two together, Yomi." Mato remarked. And she was glad on what her mother said.
"I-I, uh…." Yomi and Dead Master stuttered in unison. They looked at each other and Yomi smiled, then Dead Master smiled back; they realized that they can even understand each other after all this time. Dead Master also learned that there is something more than hatred and death but also life as well. And she wanted to thank Mato and BRS for that
Mato's brother Hiro, came down from his room and when he saw his older sister, he rushed in and hugged her. "Nee-chan!"
"H-hey, Hiro!" Mato exclaimed in surprise. Then Hiro said, "Did you get hurt! Did those bad guys torture you!"
"Hehehe, don't worry. Nothing bad happened to me. Of course, you're Nee-chan is tough!" Mato thought of something. "But the credit goes to her." Mato smiled as she points her finger to Rock. Hiro looked to BRS and he comes in front and bowed.
"Thanks for saving Nee-chan, Rock, nee!" Hiro said.
"No prob. But your sister is brave. I know that." BRS replied. She raised her right hand and when Hiro noticed this, the both did a high five.
Then Hiro suddenly outburst and exclaimed, "Hey, Rock! Will you show me some moves on how you jump high or beat monsters from your world! Come on, Rock-nee!"
As Hiro continuously pleading, Mato can't help but to laugh at Rock's confusion, telling her, "It seems you have a big fan of yours, Rock!"
And everyone laughed. And because of this, Rock rubbed her head and chuckled in embarrassment. Who would have thought that someone like her, an Otherworlder, who is Mato's Other Self with the same face yet she has a long hair, will have a bigger fan in Hiro? She can't help but to smile but she's also bit worried.
"I hope this won't come to worse." She sheepishly thought.
After half an hour of fun chat, Yomi, Dead Master, Yuu, and STR left Mato's house along with their baggage. BRS also joined in as she needs to get home to her own apartment. As she mounted on her scooter, Mato went outside and waved goodbye to her friends, including BRS. Tomorrow is Sunday and thankfully, it's a long weekend so she can spend her time together with her friends. She shouted, "See you guys tomorrow!"
The 4 girls waved back, "Bye Mato!"
As BRS wears her helmet and jumpstart the engines, she looked at Mato, "We can hang out tomorrow, Mato! See ya!"
And BRS rode off. After this, the 4 girls started to walk off. Mato relieved on herself. Because she was glad that she had not only have 3 friends but also has 3 different friends from another world, including her Other Self. Her stomach is growling, she stated. "I'm hungry."
Mato's mom called her, "Mato, it's time for dinner!"
"Coming, Mom!" She responded happily. She can't wait to fill her empty stomach.
The 4 girls were on her way until they reached Yomi's house. STR and Yuu waved goodbye to the two girls and handed the baggage to them. As the two tiny friends left, Dead Master sighed "Why should I hold these?"
"Don't worry, I'll help." Yomi said as she helped carry the baggage. Dead Master and smiled on her. "Thanks."
"No prob." Yomi replied on Dead Master's answer.
"I hope that Kagari and Chariot are ok." Dead Master implied.
"Maybe they should come with us tomorrow. Not a bad idea, right?" Yomi said.
"Hmmm, you're right." Dead Master told Yomi.
Designated S.H.I.E.L.D. Safehouse
Tokyo
Steve was sitting on the chair. He's thinking about what happened a few hours ago. Not only he fought some HYDRA hostiles, but he also fought alongside with a mysterious teenage girl who has a blue flame burning in her left eye. And what would HYDRA do to an innocent 13 year-old girl? And who is the girl called as Black Rock Shooter? These are the thoughts that juggling into Steve's mind.
The door opened and when Steve looked, he saw Sharon come in. "I've sent the girl home."
"Good." Steve remarked, relieved that the girl was sent home safe. "Did she wake up while you're driving?"
"Nah, she went Sleeping Beauty." Sharon stated.
Steve went on. "It is official: HYDRA is on the move. We better to keep our eyes on them. And if something bad happens, we need to respond by helping innocents and stop their plans."
As she prepared her laptop and other devices, Sharon told Steve. "I know, but we need to get ready. If the HYDRA threat is getting bigger, it's time to call the other Avengers for help."
"We will call them if necessary." Steve noted.
"Here it is, Steve." Sharon called him, looking at the laptop. She set up a holographic feature and she began. "I've received information from S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, coming off from our database."
She continued. "This is Mato Kuroi, 13 years old. Short hair and has blue eye color. Living only with her mother and little brother, while her father is working overseas. Goes to a certain middle school in the Tokyo area and she is also a basketball player. No signs of superhuman features. Completely human. Overall, she's a normal middle school girl."
"I met that girl when she bumped on me when I'm taking a walk." Steve noted. "I saved her butt from an HYDRA agent. But the question is… why would they kidnap her?" Steve thought a bit. But something clicked on her mind. "Hey, did you see the mysterious girl that I fought with?"
Sharon answered, "Yes, I got it all recorded here." She showed a gadget which it has a video recording function. She installed a USB cord and put it on her laptop. A few hours ago, Sharon also saw him fighting with the mysterious girl. Like Steve, Sharon had her thoughts on the mystery of this girl. She played the video and as they watched the footage, Sharon paused and they zoomed it.
"There she is." Steve said after seeing it.
"This girl is remarkable. She has the same face and the same eyes as Mato Kuroi's but the eyes are also different in the sense." Sharon noted. But she also wondered. "How can a teenage girl like her can carry a cannon that was so heavy?"
"I believe she also has superpowers. But this is a different case in my opinion. Gladly speaking, I helped saved her friend Mato Kuroi." Steve said.
"Did she have a name?" Sharon inquired.
"She said that she was called as… Black Rock Shooter." Steve replied.
Sharon was bewildered on the name. "It's more like a code name but it made a little more sense."
Steve chuckled, "Yeah, right. Things are getting interesting if you ask me. I want to meet her again."
"Don't worry, Steve. I'll just browse the database on that girl. Alright, she had a civilian name under… Hoshioka Kuroi. She was identified as Mato's 'cousin', age 14; she also went to the same school with her, has a part time job as an assistant basketball coach and also lives in an apartment."
"Where's the location?" Steve inquired.
Sharon pinpoints the location. "It was in Shibuya."
As he analyzes the location, including the complete address, he was satisfied inside.
"Like I said, we'll meet again, kid. Very soon."
End of chapter 5.
All right, we've seen the two main characters fight together and Mato returned safely along with her family and friends present. And we see that Steve is eager to know more about BRS, which will lead to good moments in future chapters. I want to include character development on some characters and my OC character will play a vital role in the future.
I wanna tell you on why I choose Captain America over any Marvel comic book character, but you will find the answer at the time I'll release the next chapter. Please read and review and I'll see you all later!
