STORY IS NOW.
"Hmm..." The AI looked through the database of the compound, trying to find the thing he desired so much.
A body.
Breaking into North Korea as a virus was risky due to how their government was hogging all the technology made for war. He also hoped this fic doesn't get cancelled due to Korea being here.
"What body should I get? Perhaps...no." The AI searched through its list of weaponry until he found something, "Eh?" He saw its description and smiled devilishly, "Can shoot people automatically up to one mile? If I may get that, I can do it both manually and automatically." He grinned as he entered the coding.
"Why are we here?" The soldier asked his partner who looked at him, speaking Korean.
"What?" His partner questioned, speaking in Korean also.
"I mean literally, WHY are we here? We don't even know what we're guarding and the freaking building is one mile away. I hear an occasional gunshot after a BIRD flies overhead, what exactly are doing?"
"They said we'd do this after the brainwashing."
"What?"
"What-" Suddenly the building a mile away from them exploded and fell apart, the soldiers jumped, startled. They looked at the wreckage.
"Let me see-" They saw some rubble move and a soldier approached, "Hey are you-" A bullet entered his head almost immediately. His partner reacted and aimed his gun towards the pile but was shot down in the face also. Their bloody bodies laid dead on the ground as a tank emerged from the debris.
"They forgot, one mile kill." The tank happily said as it began moving out of the compound, shooting at any lifeform in sight.
"BRING BACK UP! WE-" A soldier who in the watchtower was shot down, a bullet straight through the glass. The tank noticed a crucial detail underneath a overhang under the watchtower, likely to display something.
"Mobilized flight for tanks...useful." The tank activated the magnetics on its head and the helicopter's large blades that were fixed onto a rod began flying to the head of the helicopter, attaching themselves quickly.
"Mite...HARM is going to pursue you..."
"I can't believe everyone ditched this town!" Bell exclaimed, walking through the park, "This Friday isn't even black! Why did everyone ditch this town just to get shoes or something..." Mite held GIR as the two walked. Mite wore a black jacket with a green shirt underneath it as Bell wore a red hoodie with a blue shirt underneath it.
"The economy in this town is worthless after all, of course everyone ditched this place the moment the morning happened. Even the hobos as Quigi who was not in the city messaged the, that only they were there in the city. The two couldn't care less since they got video games, cabling, nothing is what they needed as Bell hated shopping.
"Mommy? Daddy?" GIR spoke up, the two's attention heading towards him.
"What is it?"
"Will I grow up like the other people?" The two were frozen at the question. How can GIR grow up normally if he was a robot? Sure he can rust but not grow up, he'll likely outlive them and still look the same.
"GIR, listen to me." Mite looked at his adopted son seriously, "It isn't the matter how tall you get. Just what happens in your head is what makes you grown up, because being grown up sucks. You have work and pay bills so you gotta have fun while it lasts before maturity and discipline posses your mind. You gotta keep being happy." He told him as GIR looked up to him.
"Okay daddy! I will!" The two smiled as Bell punched Mite's shoulder.
"You're a good dad." She smiled as Mite laughed.
"Stop, your embarrassing me." He pleaded and Bell was about to punch him again but the phone in his pocket rang. He took it out and put it against his ear, "Hello?"
"Mite! Thank goodness you're okay!" It was Quigi, "You gotta-"
"Are you drunk?"
"What? N-No!"
"Because most people are busy shopping."
"Yes, I brought an entire aisle of beers but that is NOT proof I'm drunk!" Quigi defended himself.
"Alright what is it?"
"THERE IS A TANK/HELICOPTER HYBRID HEADING TO ELMORE STRAIGHT FROM NORTH KOREA!"
"Now, you must be drunk." Mite sighed, "North Korea of all things? Now you're just being a pedophile right now."
"A TANK WITH HELICOPTER BLADES IS FLYING DIRECTLY AT YOU AND CAN SHOOT ANY LIVING CREATURE IN A ONE MILE RADIUS! GET OUT OF THERE!" He yelled but Mite wasn't fazed.
"Listen, look at that bird, I meant hear it, not look at it." The bird in the sky Mite pointed towards was tweeting, "Hear that bird? It's okay-" The bird was suddenly shot and fell onto the ground. The three looked at the dead animal.
"Run?" Bell suggested, looking nervous as it is.
"Wait, we needed lunch." He grabbed the bird and the two ran off. Mite looked back and saw a tank, flying with helicopter propellers heading towards them.
"I hate BLACK...FRIDAY!" Bell screamed as the two ran, "WHY DOES A TANK FROM NORTH KOREA WANNA KILL US?"
"Perhaps my mannerism shall enlighten you?" The tank spoke through a speaker, "Shall I remember what you've done to my previous body?"
"HARM?!" Bell exclaimed, "We killed you!" They still ran as the tank flew towards them. They were defenseless.
"My large body previously has been destroyed by you two but this body is likely harder to kill for various reasons." HARM said through the megaphone and headed towards them.
"This is as bad as our one night stand!"
"Don't say that in front of GIR Mite!" Bell scolded as they ran. Mite remembered that night vividly before smiling, "Baka-" Mite tripped onto a rock and fell down, the tank heading towards them.
"Oh yeah!" Bell completely forgot she had FATE, she summoned the weapon and began shooting about beams out of it towards the tank coming closer.
"Daddy!" GIR began helping Mite up,Bell began shooting beams at HARM.
"DIE SUCKA!" She shot at the helicopter blade and it exploded, making the tank fall onto the floor and head towards them, "Shiiiiiitttttttt."
"I apologize for killing you not sooner. I shall redeem myself with your deaths." HARM began shooting bullets at them, Bell using the blade to reflect every single blast. Mite stood up and he and GIR sent behind Bell who was blocking every bullet shot at them.
"Bastard!" Mite yelled behind her, "Trying to kill two innocent people-"
"Innocent? Hah!" HARM retorted, "You have more blood on your hands than I do." Mite stared at the machine, trying words to fight back but couldn't.
"Mite! You are the most innocent person ever (before our one night stand) and don't make things like him get to you!" Bell encouraged him, "You're loved by the best kid ever and the best girl ever so don't beat yourself up!"
"A-Alright! You're right!" Mite grasped the handle of the blade along with Bell, "We'll do this together!" The two began swing the blade, blocking every bullet as the tank attempted to shoot more.
"J-Jammed!" HARM cursed, "Oh well, it was a good run." It stayed there, as if it were waiting for the inevitable. The blade began having an aura surrounding it.
"Looks like one of those convenient anime powers where the blade shoots an energy beam!" Bell noted and looked at Mite, "Wanna do this?"
"I always imagined something like this happening." Mite and Bell pointed the blade towards the tank and a blade shot out a beam that aimed straight towards the tank.
"I say, that is a finely made energy blast-" The tank exploded on contact with the energy, it exploded with bits and pieces of it flying around as the rest of the tank slumped onto the ground.
HARM had nowhere to go or escape in time, he was dead, "WOO!" Bell cheered but jumped after another explosion, "We should get out of here before the cops are back from shopping.
"Your idea is actually nice." They began walking away as Bell still held the fate with GIR on Mite's arms. As they walked away, the tank made a thud and Bell looked back only to resume looking at Mite.
"Mite?"
"Yeah?"
"I wanna get married." Mite stopped on his tracks, "I'll say it again; I wanna get married to you."
"W-What?"
"Mommy wants to get married to daddy! Yay!" GIR chimed, running his arms up and down in excitement.
"Mite, I was in love with you since we first met!" Bell got on her knees, "I wanna spend my life with you! Please can we get married!" She begged, cringing and blushing at this point. Mite was silent but smiled instead.
"Bell...yes. I wanna spend my life with you." He answered, Bell hugged him tightly, "Yeah but my life will be short if you strangle me like this!"
"Oops, sorry." She let him down, "We'll get a huge wedding! There will be cake you'll make and I'll get a dress showing too much cleavage!"
"Aren't you flatter than a slab of wood?"
"But still! We can go shopping and buy our wedding stuff!" She told him, eyes full of determination.
"Alright, let's go." He held her hand as the family walked away. Bell glanced momentarily at the broken tank before returning to Mite, sword in other hand.
...
...
...
...
...
...
Bang.
"BELL!"
"MOMMY!"
Bell fell onto the ground face front, Mite and GIR going by her side, blood seeping from her back, straight and directly at her heart. Mite stared at the tank, smoke coming out of the pipe.
"Y-YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Mite grabbed FATE from the floor and shot a beam towards the tank, HARM's megaphone can only make the sound of quiet laughter.
"I...win..." HARM breathed out before the beam hit the vehicle, exploding it. Mite dropped the FATE and ran over to Bell, flipping her over and setting her on his lap.
"Bell! Are you breathing?" He asked frantically.
"M-Mommy..." GIR cried onto his mother's shoulder.
"I-I'm shot, dumbass. Hurts." She let out a laugh, "Didn't see that one coming."
"It's gonna be alright! Look at me!" Mite told her and she looked up with him with eyes threatening to close, "GIR and I need you...we need you..."
"I...need you also..." She closed her eyes as Mite began nudging her.
"Bell...SOMEBODY HELP! SOMEBODY!" He screamed, only for his cries to be answered with silence.
It has been awhile since Bell was sent to the hospital for immediate surgery. Mite never had to make sure GIR didn't cry so much. Mite called everybody he knew that wasn't attempting to kill him. They all dropped what they were doing and rushed to the hospital where they were in. Who knew hospital workers responded to 911 so well?
"Mite..." Mina hugged him once he got out of the room Bell was admitted in, it was after surgery that Bell was transferred to another room and was declared in critical condition much to Mite's horror.
She was on the brink of death.
"Is GIR still...?" He questioned Mina who looked sadly, everybody he knew was waiting outside the room. From Dexter to Squid Girl, they were all there to just wait in deathly silence...no jokes or anything...just straight silence.
"He's with Quigi trying to make him stop crying even though's he is a robot." She replied while looking down, "ManBearPig and Garfield just arrived a minute ago. They decided to abandon their lives in the wilderness, feeling they failed to protect Bell if they could..."
"Tell them they couldn't do anything to stop this. I don't wanna make themselves beat themselves up for what happened-" The door that leads to Bell's room opened, Mite turned around to see Aya, looking depressed as everyone.
"She...wants to see you..." She said before bursting into tears, Lucas went to her aid and comforted her as Mite entered the room. He saw her staring at the window on the hospital bed. The heart monitor was beeping regularly to Mite's relief. He closed the door and brought a chair and sat next to her.
"Hey, stupid. What are you staring at?" She asked, Mite staring at her weak form.
"You gave me a heart attack." He put his hand over hers lovingly. She smiled at that action and grasped the blanket.
"Did they take the-?"
"Yeah, they couldn't determine your blood type, you being born in a lab after all. They used a bit of my blood and it was a huge gamble. Thought I lost you." She nodded her head in response.
"That bullet punched me a bit." She looked at the window, "Pretty day." A tear let go from her eye as Mite watched her.
"Yeah, it is pretty." He looked at the window, "Bell...I was thinking that proposal you just did and I wanted to say it if I ever said. You did it first so, I'll start." Bell continued to stare at the window.
"Bell, I love you, ever since the day we first met...you were the most beautiful thing I ever saw. I...loved you even more after the Academy and when you began doubting me when we met Aya, I wanted to tell you how much I love you." He told her in the most honest way possible, "I-I couldn't live my life without you! I want us to get married! I want GIR to have a sibling! I want...a family with you..." He trailed off in the end, realizing the thing he desired so much.
Something to love.
"Bell? I want to-" Bell continued to stare at the window, not paying attention to him, "Bell?" He looked at her heart monitor to see a long 'beep' play without end with a flat line shown on it. Mite widened his eyes and began shaking Bell.
"Bell? Can you please wake up for me? Please?" He asked her with tears in his eyes, he grasped Bell's hand and it slid off his grip, falling onto the bed without struggle. Mite's tears began leaking out of his eyes, unable to stop.
"Bell...you've always been there for me. If I never met you, I would have been soulless and wandering without purpose. I-I..." He cried onto her shoulder, "I promised y-you...we promised we'll be together until the end...thank you...thank you for fulfilling that promise." He stopped crying and let go from her shoulder, her eyes not blinking or full of emotion. He wiped the tears away and put his hands over her eyes and slid her eyelids down.
"You can...finally go to sleep." He said to her, his heart throbbing in misery.
She remained quiet, the look on her face read she was happy in life. She looked like she was peaceful in the end of it all.
"W-We...should never have met that day."
