Was sick for a bit but we are back in it!
Here's another fun chapter I hope everyone enjoys. Please follow my profile as I'm writing another story for another super popular series on the side. It will be a one-shot but funny enough I dreamed up the storyline for it and decided to refine it a bit into a story.
NOTE: I see the spacing for the story formats does not support double spacing, I myself find that my wordy stories kind of give me a headache when seeing all that text smushed together with no real breathing room. If this is a problem for you as well remember to use the 'Expand' feature in the control bar.
That being said, enjoy!
"Whew~ you're in for it now, buddy"
"You better remember your training if you want to prove yourself to Lord Beerus"
The trio stood on the edge of the lake on Lord Beerus' planet as the god himself descended from his abode to the center of the lake, arms folded behind him, with a stern expression on his face. Denji gulped in anticipation and stretched and cracked his knuckles in an attempt to psych himself up for what was to come.
"Here goes nothin'... " As his breath hurried out of him his eyes fixated on the imposing figure that called out to him amidst the unraveling of his nerves.
"Relax mortal, this is but a test of your effectiveness in handling ki in battle. I expect you can at least be effective in that before you can make your way to the realm of the gods" The destroyer smiled as he ordered Denji to float over the lake and up to him, just as Whis was lowering himself beside the two combatants.
"As Lord Beerus states, this is to test your aptitude with ki control to determine if you're ready to assume the next step in your training"
"Surely, your progress has been staggering and unusual even accounting for our unconventional methods. I suspect that besides our use of time dilation within the chamber, it's your unique biology that is largely responsible for this impressive growth. That being said, to control your ki not only to the level of masters but of gods requires far more than natural talent, the saiyans may have had a genetic predisposition to god ki but you're essentially a mutation of a human and one of demonic nature so it is still a faraway concept" With a few taps of the staffs upon the surface of the water, numerous orbs spawned around them and positioned themselves in a form of the grid around them.
"These will be for the measurement of your ki output, if you go underneath or above the established threshold, even in the slightest bit, they will shoot ki-blasts at you, infused with God ki. So always remember, control is essential"
"Well, this seems peachy…" Denji groaned as he watched the different orbs place themselves all over the designated grounds, with worry building in the pit of his stomach.
"Don't worry, we will only engage in some light sparring, just keep yourself above water and don't go past the shores of the lake, keep our battle within those boundaries and keep your output to the appropriate levels and you will pass"
"Wait, I gotta fight YOU?"
"Precisely…getting cold feet? Maybe I should just go to your world and settle the matter myself"
"W-wait! I'll do it geez!"
"Alright! Loving the enthusiasm!" the blue figure chimed in as he tapped once again on the staff and teleported back to the shore.
"You may begin whenever you please!"
"Hmmm… Come at me then, mortal. Show this god your worth"
"Let's go then…!" Dashing towards the God Denji winced as one of the orbs shot at his back.
"Too much energy, kid, bring it down a little" Stopping all of Denji's strikes with his index finger, Beerus carefully studied the flow of energy throughout his body as an orb would occasionally shoot at him and further muddy his attacks.
"Shit! Alright- Fuck! I'm- Crap! Trying!" Trying to contain his flow while steadily striking at his opponent was insanely hard but he had some understanding of how to level his output even though his concentration was getting consistently bothered by the pressure the god was exerting on him and the constant barrages being shot at him, from all directions. He understood the stress was necessary for him to further progress but this would prove an even crazier feat than surviving the two saiyans attacking him.
Amid his efforts, Beerus began to see obvious openings from Denji as he instinctively blocked the incoming beams and decided to have a little fun. Appearing behind him with a haunting grin, the destroyer broke his train of thought with a few simple words.
"Hey now, your opponent is me." With a flick of his finger, Denji was sent flying like a missile toward the solid ground as Goku and Vegeta screamed at him to fight against the momentum as he struggled to find his bearings and then something amazing happened. A spark of sorts emerged from the center of his torso and he managed to stop just before the boundary.
"Vegeta, you catch that?"
"Heh, the bastard's starting to get it" Vegeta responded almost with a snarl as they watched on seeing the young lad try his best.
He felt as if a fountain turned on within him for a split second and a font of weirdly behaving energy suddenly flowed out but it dissipated as quickly as it came to. He didn't understand how that even came to be or how his body managed to take advantage of it.
"W-what?..."
"Don't dilly dally now mortal, your body is starting to adapt at incredible speeds again but your slow head is struggling to catch up…if you can withstand my attacks and the orbs' onslaught you might begin to understand the secret of us gods" In a split second Beerus was before him and grabbed him at the back of his head before launching the hybrid back towards the center of the lake.
"I'll straighten up that messy brain of yours until you understand what it takes to be a destroyer"
"Hey." a lone voice called out from the balcony as Denji peeked out from the hallway and saw Aki standing there finishing a cigarette.
"How'd she do?" He asked as he put the butt out and walked in.
"Ah.." Denji didn't expect him to be up at this hour and took the time to sit down with his caretaker(?) while Power bathed.
"She got manhandled but she's got the drive"
"You didn't get any training in?"
"Don't need it."
"I suppose that's true."
After a few seconds of awkward silence, Denji took a deep breath, preparing for what he knew awaited him once he and Power retired to their room. His control of the situation slipped away from him way too easily and he had a hard time wrapping his mind around anything but that. He wanted to be with Makima, but Power didn't even argue her request much and still agreed. He was never popular in any sense of the word so maybe being sought after by a cute girl just hit him in all the right places to turn him into the same compliant idiot he was before his displacement.
"Hey Denji, we got the call. Makima and the interrogating team got the details for the terrorist's whereabouts and we strike early tomorrow…" Turning to look at Denji, Aki smacked him upside the head as the young teen complained.
"Oi! What's that for top-knot?"
"When Makima called she seemed pretty intent on talking to you about it but you weren't back yet…She's pretty focused on you and I don't like it" Aki responded as he shot Denji a leer that was almost comically riddled with jealousy.
"So you are into her huh?"
"What? No. I just don't want your stupidity to rub off on her"
"Is that it?"
"Yes."
"You don't seem to mind when Miss Himeno hangs around me, ain't you pretty close to her?"
"..."
"Uh-huh, I'm stupid but I ain't blind dude, you're crazy for Miss Makima…can't blame ya tho" With a toothy grin Denji made an hourglass figure with his hands which prompted Aki to smack him once more.
"...Whatever, just keep your idiocies in check, please"
"Yeah Yeah, just don't complain too much when we go steady…It's a hassle dealing with losers"
"What did you say you fu-...grr…anyways, we report to headquarters for a quick brief so be ready, I'm heading off to bed"
"Night."
As the sliding door closed behind Aki, Denji heard the 'clack' of the turning handle and watched as the slender figure of the fiend walked out, heading to their room. She wore a loose graphic t-shirt and the usual black drawstring shorts she'd wear to bed. The shirt obscured most of her body but her long, slender legs were still in perfect view as the glistening residue from the steam and water gave a gentle shine to her skin that adorned the shape of her visible skin.
Her legs sported an athletic build that seemed to be almost perfectly carved to draw the eye from the delicate steps of her feet up her calves, thighs, and her back. Her skin was a healthy pinkish hue that glistened with the gentle light of the apartment. Rogue beads of water rode the hills of her muscles down to the floor; she fixed her hair as she stopped right in front of the door and allowed it to cascade over her back to air out the moistened strands of gold.
"Wow…" His eyes continued to drone around her figure as she aired out her long hair and the nape of her neck became visible drawing an audible 'gulp' from the teen.
This little gremlin was dangerous more as a woman than a friend and he was supposed to smooch on her? when just looking at her like that made him feel all hot and bothered?… Denji's anxiety was starting to shoot up as he facepalmed in an attempt to gather his bearings.
"Hmm?" looking back at Denji, she found his eyes fixated on her and smiled.
"Wash yourself and come in." Her smile then turned into a cheeky grin as she walked into their room with Meowy behind her. As the door closed behind her, limiting the light coming into their dark room to focus solely on her face, she turned and slithered out her tongue at Denji who gulped as she coiled it like a finger beckoning him to follow before the door finally closed and all he could perceive were her soft footsteps fading behind the door amidst the quiet of the night.
"Well, holy shit" he grabbed his head and began to try and gather his composure as he blew out an exasperated sigh, like a kettle blowing off the pressurized steam built up within it. Denji got up and slapped his face with both hands as she tried to psych himself up into believing this was just something he had to do to advance his plans and future relationship with Makima.
His confidence was too broken, regardless. He believed his plan was going to go smoothly and that Power was now well within his control but he was dead wrong. His nether region was still in control of him and Power was way too well-versed in toying with it to get what she wanted. And if she was after him, then he had to be ready for her to embolden herself even further and go for the kill sooner or later. He felt like a small animal being hunted by a starving jaguar and he could swear he felt a dangerous pressure emanating from their room as he passed by to the bathroom, even with the door closed. What awaited him intimidated him to no end, no amount of battle prowess prepares you for the hormonal drive of a teenager who knows he could graduate at any moment.
With another deep sigh, he walked into the bathroom and went along with his usual routine hoping maybe a refreshing bath might bring him down a bit.
After some time, Denji emerged from the bathroom completely unrelaxed and that was because…
He never got a change of clothes before going in.
Cursing his forgetful mind, he tiptoed to the door and nervously knocked on it.
"What?"
"C-can you pass me a clean set of clothes?"
"Get them yourself."
"What the hell man? Help me out here"
"Tis no obligation of mine to assist you with anything until you fulfill your end of our deal, dummy"
"Shit…fine but don't try anything funny"
"Come in~"
As he opened the door, he made damn sure the towel around his waist was as tightly wrapped as possible. He gulped in fear as he found the room pitch black outside of the invading light from the hallway. A pair of yellow orbs with red crosses at the center fluttered into view sending shivers down his spine as they wordlessly followed him. He still found it incredibly off-putting how her devil eyes almost glowed in the dark so he resolved to get his stuff as quickly as possible and leave before his innocence was taken from him.
Grabbing a random shirt and some shorts he sighed in relief and was about to leave but paused as he felt a presence approaching him. Still holding onto the towel for dear life, he refused to face his bed where Power was sitting and made his way out.
"D-Don't fuckin' try anything funnyyyyEEEEE!" Suddenly, he jumped at a certain warm and moist sensation slithering along the back of his neck and darted for the bathroom in the blink of an eye as a muffled cackle was heard behind him.
After having changed and looking into the mirror he sighed and let his head drop down in defeat.
"Geez, how the hell am I supposed to get any rest for tomorrow and deal with this crap?" Thinking about the issue at hand, he went over every possible scenario in his head as took his dirty clothes and threw them near the washer.
"I gotta stay in control of this, can't let Power of all people drive me into a corner…" Standing just in front of his door, he took a deep breath in and stepped inside seeing as the ray of warm light suddenly flooded into the room illuminating just where their bed lay. Eyeing the form gently shifting over the sheets he saw Power come into view, laying on his bed and extending her arms as if to embrace him.
"Well, here goes nothin'..." He resolved himself to do his best even if his self-confidence was waning so he closed the door behind him and marched forward. Climbing into the bed he crawled on top of his buddy and leaned in as her arms coiled around his neck. Her breaths were labored right off the bat and her lips were like warm pillows that welcomed his own into her mouth. The sound of flesh joining and separating filled the room as they finally kissed and gently shifted around the sheets, both looking for new ways to taste each other. Power's slender fingers traced formless lines along his neck and her gentle whimpers began to join the symphony as he couldn't help both let out barely audible groans and grunts signifying sanity was slowly departing from the event.
Denji slightly opened his eyes as he felt her slimy tongue lick his lips as if knocking on the door to his mouth for admission.
"Don't get too crazy, okay?..." he whispered as he allowed her tongue to slither in but not before meeting it with his own.
"Nnh.." Soft moans escaped her mouth as the exchange became slightly more heated and they awkwardly shifted around to find a more suitable position to not bite each other's tongues off. He felt her body shift below him as her legs pressed together and began to fidget with her hips moving and gliding along the bed, her whole body seemed to become more and more anxious and it set off all kinds of sirens in his head. Unable to withstand his curiosity in this once-in-a-lifetime moment, his hand caressed her face, almost burning hot to the touch as she whimpered softly at his touch. Her gentle touch became a more feverish grab as she grabbed onto his shirt and pulled him closer to her until she was pancaked under his weight.
"Ahn~" She released herself from their lip lock as her breathing began to feel restricted thanks to their fervent kissing and his body currently coming down on hers. Nevertheless, she locked her legs around his hips and turned her head to the side and take in some air as her hands traveled up and down his wide back, every ridge, cliff, and hill in his well-chiseled back drove her crazy as her senses began to get fuzzier and fuzzier and a familiar fire was lit below her stomach.
"Shit man…" A now disgruntled Denji gripped the sheets below them as her exposed neck would ever so briefly brush against his lips. His mouth was agape as every sense he had left was now chanting for him to taste her skin.
Gritting his teeth he pulled back and resorted to resting his head right on her chest earning a whiny groan from the fiend as her hips gyrated against him.
"Denji~..." She complained as her hands traveled down his sides and slid into the space between their hips.
"Nnn!" Denji bit his tongue as he felt her hands cup and caress his member and...
"I knew it was gonna end up like this… let's call it a night." Denji reached behind him and pried her legs off of his hips. After this, she growled at him and attempted to push him off.
"Why must you continually infuriate me!"
"Dude, I told you…"
"Your rejection is perplexing…was copulation not your sole goal in this hellish job?"
"It was…but I got other crap on my mind now"
"Since when?!"
"Since…some time ago so let's just go to bed ok? I gave you way more than a kiss already so I made good on my end"
"Yes, well my plan was to be ravished, idiot!" As he relented and climbed off of her she rolled off the bed and sat at the edge of it with an obvious look of displeasure on her face.
"Yeah, well you only asked for a kiss, smartass"
"Hrm!"
"...Tell you what, since I'm done with things getting more complicated for me I'll let you have a suck and we both go to sleep, no complaints…deal?" Turning his head to the side, Denji pulled on his collar and revealed his neck to make the proposition as ideal as possible.
"Y-you…" Bingo, Power started to drool as she crawled back to Denji, breathing heavily. It seemed it didn't take much convincing to get on the blood fiend's good side.
"Surely you jest?" She smelled and inspected the area as she felt the blood coursing behind his skin before looking back at him to make sure he wasn't lying.
"Nope. Don't take it all tho, just enough to sleep happy and not hate me for not screwing you-"
"Graghh!" Power lounged at his neck as he winced, feeling her fangs break his skin. He lowered his defenses enough to make his skin breakable by her fangs so this should be enough to keep her happy for tonight.
"Heh…You're like an animal" He cradled his buddy in his arms as she closed her eyes and began to drink the liquid as it flowed out from the wound. Her gentle hums of content and slurps filled the room as he stroked her long hair and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. The fiend then placed both hands on his chest as she climbed onto his lap and straddled him, now fully enjoying her meal.
This continued for a while as he quickly began to feel his body weaken. Tapping two times on her back she broke contact with the crook of his neck and licked her lips.
"Delicious…" She licked her lips in a weirdly alluring display as she cleaned every drop and bloody stain from her mouth.
"What do we say?" He cupped her cheeks in the palm of his hands and grinned, satisfied that she was no longer hating him for keeping it in his pants.
"Thank you~..." She bared her teeth at him with the smile of someone faded in ecstasy.
"Don't be weird!" still holding her face in his hand, he shook her head around in an attempt to bring her out of her stupor.
"Oi! Dummy, treat my beautiful face kindly! Be happy that I even allow you near my greatness!" Snapping at him she gnawed on his hand and beat on his chest managing little more than amusing the teen.
"Gyahahaha! There's the power I know…now come on" Tapping the space next to him he scooted over and left her some space to lie down. "Let's go to bed already".
Aggressively pushing him further back, she plopped down on the bed and threw her arm back to grab his own and drape it over herself.
Shaking his head he scooted over and pulled her against him as he big spooned her which caused a blush he couldn't see to form across her cheeks. Pushing his other arm out from underneath her head, he wrapped it across to her shoulder as she snuggled up against it while holding on to the other arm.
"Can't complain, getting to go to bed holding a cute girl like this…"
Receiving nothing but her obnoxious snoring in return, he smiled to himself as he slowly drifted into sleep.
After a few days of training, fighting amongst themselves, and finally getting some concrete information, a fresh new morning greeted the Hayakawa household. Aki got up and began his usual morning routine. Cleaning, setting the bed, having his morning smoke and small breakfast as he got in the mental space to deal with the two chaotic individuals under his care so that they were up and ready for today's mission.
Makima had gone ahead with a small team to investigate the Yakuza cell the group branched off from and Himeno was already on her way to pick up Kobeni, all that was left was waking up the two monsters and heading off. With a serene breath, he got up and made his way toward the room. Upon facing the door he found a crudely written note on it that read:
"Already up, on the roof. Be back in a bit." signed by 'Badassman'
"Power doesn't know how to write…so that leaves Denji…huh." He scratched his head in confusion as Denji was never one to be up before anyone else, especially for a mission. Shrugging it off, he knocked on the door only to be greeted by silence. Usually, Denji woke Power up and handled her morning ire so his not being around was troublesome, to say the least.
Opening the door, he found the fiend hugging onto one of the many pillows thrown about the room and snoring peacefully.
"Get up," Aki ordered as he pulled on her cheek and still received no response.
"Grrr… you, fiend! UP!" He pushed the sleeping mass until it started to move and shift.
"Finall-URGH!" Eating a fistful of Power, Aki was pushed back holding his reddened jaw as she sat up.
"Ugh! You cretins won't even let me rest properly!" The devilish girl yelled out as she rubbed her eyes and grumbled in annoyance.
"Why you…" Fighting back the urge to put her in a headlock he dusted off his work shirt before pointing his katana at her.
"Anyways! Get up and eat something, we leave in 20 minutes."
"Where's Denji, Top-Knot?"
"He left a weird note saying he'd be back before we leave, apparently he went outside"
"That dummy's waking up early now?" Power thought aloud as she marched to the kitchen to grab some food.
"Seems like it." Aki turned and fixed his tie as he looked at Power up and down.
"Why do you have blood on you?"
"Denji's."
"Oh, That's fine then" Aki shrugged it off not minding whatever crap those two were up to.
"At What time must we be the-Bweh?!" Power shrieked as the building began to be filled by a strange rumbling. It was strange though, nothing was physically shaking but both of them felt as if a deep quake shook their very core as an intense pressure began to build up around them.
"What the h-hell is this?"
"No i-idea. A devil?"
"I don't smell one!"
"Nothing's moving so it's not an earthquake? What is this immense pressure?"
"Could..it have something to do with-"
"Denji!" Finishing her sentence. Aki ran out of the door and motioned Power to follow as she simply nodded and sprinted closely behind him. They didn't get far though as the closer they got to the ceiling the stronger the intense feeling of nausea that came over them. The fiend was busy spilling her breakfast down the stairs. On the way up they caught people who were just walking down the halls losing their balance or vomiting themselves and it got worse the higher they got.
"It's gotta be the ceiling, what the hell is going on?" Aki dragged his feet a few more floors until he reached the ceiling and walked out to a blinding shine overtaking him.
"Hmm?...Oh shit!" Suddenly the light was snuffed out and all they could see was Denji sitting in a meditative position facing the city.
"Uh…what're you doing here? Hehehe I said I was gonna get back after a bit"
"Denji, was that weird pressure we all felt you?"
"Pressure?" Denji scratched the back of his head and feigned ignorance as he looked out into the sky.
"..." Aki crossed his arms and glared at the teen.
"So, I guess it's a coincidence that this overwhelming feeling suddenly fizzled out when you stopped whatever weird thing you were doing huh?"
"Uh…maybe who knows?"
"Denji, I'm not an idiot, something other than your little transformation is going on here"
Noticing him being so severe, Denji sighed and crossed his arms, still avoiding his line of sight.
"Sorry, I really can't say anything about it…all I can say is I didn't expect to cause something like that so I'll be doing my training somewhere else, I guess"
"...Fine, but only because I suspect I wouldn't even have clearance to know what the hell is going on here given that Makima herself sought you out and is so tight-lipped about you"
"S-sorry."
"Whatever, get ready and make sure Power takes a bath"
"Huh?...uh, sure"
After picking up Power on the way down to the apartment, Denji got into his work clothes and waited on his fiendish arm candy as she popped out of their room and latched onto his arm.
"WE GO! To dominate those idiots!"
"Yeah yeah, let's go murderize 'em I guess" Denji added as the trio climbed into the Public Safety issued transport and made their way to the impressive building near the very center of Tokyo.
"Not exactly inconspicuous…"Aki commented as he surveyed the building until running into Himeno.
"So Aki, what do you make of this?"
"Dunno…If they're running the whole building then it's gonna be a wild goose chase to get to that sword devil"
"Katana Devil to be exact, whatever that guy is, he can transform into it and it's got some serious moves"
"Didn't seem like much."
"Well, that's cause you got yourself a shining star for a rookie." She retorted as she looked back at the trio of rookies and gave them a great big wave.
"Hey, guysssss break a leg!" She merrily pumped them up as she became as boisterous as ever, to Aki's annoyance.
"We should head in, Himeno, you ready?"
"As I'll ever be."
"Good, let's just leave the basement and any other surprise to the 'special' squad"
"With pleasure." turning back and shooting a wink at the trio she followed behind Aki as they broke in and quickly made their way through the back storage entrance.
"That woman infuriates me, she reeks of annoyance"
"You're just mad I'm popular"
"Quiet you!"
"Hehehehehe…so what about you shorty? You good over there?"
"I-i guess" Kobeni answered as she held on to her signature knife and looked around, clearly nervous at the heavy police and hunter presence around them.
"You ain't gonna chicken out on us this time?"
"T-this is the first time doing such a big mission…are we cut out for this?"
"If you're getting cold feet just watch my elegance at work! The wonder alone will be a banner of courage for your pathetic self!" Power declared as she forcefully patted Kobeni's back.
"Sure…" Kobeni looked to the side and quietly damned the day she decided to enlist as a rookie hunter.
As they were given the signal by Kishibe, the trio walked into the dark corridor leading into the parking lot but not before the old man put a hand on Denji's shoulder.
"Make it quick kid, If we finish up quickly today I get to go drink early and I'll buy you one too as thanks"
"I don't like that shit but make it tea and we're good."
"Deal." taking a swig from his canister the old man motioned them off as they headed onwards.
Kobeni breathed deeply as she clutched her knife, Power ran off into the dimly lit basement and Denji waltzed in with a bored expression as the horde of zombies started to gather.
"Where are the other dudes?" Denji looked around as she struck several corpses causing limbs and heads to shoot off with a single strike.
"Not my problem!" Power exclaimed as she summoned a claymore and slashed off the heads of a horde forming around them.
Kobeni zipped around from underneath and hacked around their legs as each fell to the ground and met their end with a swift stab to the head.
Suddenly, they heard a scuffle break out on the other side of the dark area.
"Hup! Hup! Come at me!" A strange man with a plague mask was wailing away at the approaching hordes of zombies. His strength was made evident pretty quickly as his punches were breaking through bones and rotting flesh with ease.
"Oh! There you are! I was wondering if you were all already eaten, I take it you're all fellow companions of our division?" The masked man jumped up and landed amongst the trio.
"Violence's the name but you can call me Galgali."
"Nice to meet ya!" Denji replied as he thrust his fist forward creating an air jet that tore through several bodies.
"Likewise! Wait… is that a young lady?"
"Huh? Oh yeah, she doesn't seem to be moving, is she lost or somethin'?"
"Dunno…Hey lady you better leave! This is pretty…oh" Upon seeing the reveal of her face, divided by what seemed to be a zipper line and her cold stare, the Violence fiend couldn't think of any possible explanation but one thing.
"Guess she's another one of us!"
The woman leaped in the air and sprouted several legs from underneath her long skirt to use as scythes for the dismemberment of zombies.
"Pretty cool! And she's kinda cute too!" Denji commented as the woman leered at him.
"S-sorry"
"Let's just be done with this. If you would" Spinning in place, she decapitated a large group as Power launched herself into the air and landed next to her with a slam of her giant red mallet.
"Just don't go after my prey!"
"That just leaves…" Galgali looked around the walls to see if there was any indication of their last member showing up and saw a few ripples forming on a nearby wall.
"Ah…Beam."
"MY LORD, CHAINSAW! BEAM IS HERE FOR ASSISTANCE '' A voice exclaimed in the darkness as a man with half a shark head swam(?) out of a wall and ripped into the other bodies in a gruesome rampage.
"Huh? Did he say chainsaw?" Denji did a double take and stared at the crazed Shark-man.
"That's the shark fiend, Beam…I guess you could say he's a big fan of the illustrious Chainsaw Man"
"Huh." Denji just stared slack-jawed for a couple of seconds before going back to wreaking havoc upon the Zombies.
"I'm already tired of this crap so let's finish this…gimme some room guys!" Denji called out to the rest as they looked quizzically at him.
"Denji, we can't exactly stop when we're still surrounded by them" Kobeni responded as she sliced a zombie's head off with her trusty knife.
"Just give me like 1 sec tops" Denji pulled his starter initiating his transformation which impressed some and drove a certain shark boy nuts.
"Ahhhh master! There he is!" Screaming and jumping in joy, the fiend called Beam cheered on Denji as he sprouted the chainsaws and generated the helmet around him.
"Awright! Time to settle this!" The teen had disappeared from view, perplexing everyone not in the know, and popped back into view at the exit.
"Wellp I'm leaving so you guys do whatever you want" At the turn of the door handle, the whole room full of zombies began to be filled with the sounds of tearing flesh as different cuts began to show up all over the undead bodies and every single one fell to the floor in a mass of limbs and miscellaneous body parts.
"You fiend! You've taken my glory kills!" Power broke the silence in protest as she marched toward the hybrid and smacked him upside the head.
"Hmmp! As expected of my master"
"Quite the display!"
"I'll say it was…impressive"
"M-maybe we can make it out of here alive after all!"
"..." Power turned to the spider devil as she knew the nature of devils especially if their manifestation was female. She stood as proper as can be but her stoic gaze was fixated on Denji. She must have caught the scent of him and now that she experienced his strength first hand it's safe to say this spider devil probably was gonna go for him sooner or later so Power deduced that it was best to assert dominance now.
"Alas, I must let it go this time since you are my buddy and even I see no harm in sharing some of the glory with my close buddy" Power hooked herself onto his arm once more and pulled him off towards the nearest elevator.
"MOVE! CRETIN!"
"Ahhh I get it I get it slow down!"
The fiends and Devils all looked at each other in confusion before heading off in different directions.
"I guess we're on support duty!"
"It's best we split into different floors, intelligence suggests this isn't the only place overrun with zombies" The spider girl informed as she made her way towards the door.
"More food!" Beam dove into the ground as Galgali motioned for Kobeni.
"If it's no trouble I'll join you miss! You seem troubled"
"T-thanks I guess" Kobeni clutched her knife as she followed the fiend out and so the group disbanded to cause a more widespread massacre.
"Hyaaaaaaa!" Power yelled out as she slashed and dashed all over a bloody hallway as the zombies' flesh stood no chance against her blood blades.
"Witness me, Denji! Is this show of strength not more awe-inspiring than before?"
"Gee, you got me going' crazy over here…" Denji nonchalantly followed the path of bodies Power opened up for him as she rampaged through the floor, killing off any stragglers that managed to get up from her barrage.
"Make it quick, your highness. I wanna score the free food gramps promised later tonight."
"Hmph! You can't rush perfection, peon"
"Yeah yeah, you missed some by the way" Denji snarkily responded as he roundhoused the head right off of one of the zombies and shot one of his chains through 4 other zombies that were getting up to attack the fiend.
"Once again, you come to me, the great Power with such insolence!" She exclaimed as she smacked him in the back of the head.
Denji however, was focused on the energy he felt building up on a certain floor above them.
"Found 'em."
"Huh?"
"I know where they are. There's at least like twenty of 'em…heh, guess the dude is pretty scared of me then" Denji smirked as he crouched down as if bracing for a big jump.
"Oh! Oh! Allow me to grace you with assistance!"
"Nah, you just help with clearing out all the floors with the others so we can get out of here faster" He instructed his annoyed buddy as he leaped into the ceiling and broke through several floors.
"Grrr…Fine!" Power tore through the legions of Zombies as she cursed Denji for not taking her with him to the glorious climax.
In a well-lit office in the middle of the building, a group of grizzled men stood around and discussed the matters of their current situation.
"I heard from Team C that they brought fuckin' devils with them and their layin' waste to the zombies"
"What are we gonna do if they reach us?"
"Both of you shut up. You're over here cowering from Public Safety of all things. Those useless grunts won't be able to do anything against us" The head of the operation, the Katana hybrid, and grandson of the former Boss of their group scoffed at their remarks as he loaded an especially long rifle.
"So is it true then boss? You can turn into a devil?"
"Not something you need to be concerned about…we're armed to the teeth anyways and they can't even legally hold firearms until they reach a certain rank and according to my research that's effectively NONE of them"
"Isn't that chainsaw freak with 'em? I hear he's a monster that can't die"
"Never mind him! He's mine, you hear me?" Snapping at his subordinate he recklessly pointed the gun at the source of his irritation before letting out a deep sigh and turning back to the matter of preparing the ammunition.
"That bastard punk killed my grandfather and only I can make sure he pays the price"
"R-right…didn't mean any disrespect"
"Whatever, just keep guard of the door I hear a lot of noise nearby"
"R-right! If only that Himawari bitch didn't screw up and get caught"
"She served her purpose and we have all the guns we could need to take them on, my revenge and our control of Tokyo is assured" As he motioned for the talkative grunts to go for the door he turned to the rest but stopped mid-way.
"Boss?" one of the henchmen curiously examined the expression on the man's face, it was one of surprise.
"You hear that rumbling?"
"Rumbling…boss?"
"Come to think of it…yeah," Another added as he stomped on the ground to make sure it wasn't just them nervously walking around.
"No man, look at the windows. Is it the whole building?"
"The noise is getting louder…somethings co-"
With a chaotic smash through the floor below, a certain chainsaw-headed man broke through the conversation as he grabbed their boss' head and smashed it against the floor.
"Ding dong! Sorry, I didn't use the door!"
"C-chainsaw! What the hell?" he clawed and grabbed at his arm but to no avail, it felt as if the arm holding him down was made of dense steel.
"Sorry jack-ass but your ass is gonna land me some sweet points with Miss Makima and your lackeys killed the rest of our guys so I'll be having your ass for lunch todayyyy" Denji cackled as the chainsaw roared just over the man's head and tore through the floor.
"So what's it gonna be? Surrender?"
"Fuck you!" The man pulled on his hand once more and turned into the Katana devil managing to draw blood off of Denji's arm with a powerful slash.
"Oh ho hoo! All that for a drop of blood, how cute!" Denji retorted as he stomped down on the arm responsible for the cut and broke it.
"Gahhhhhhh! You fuckin' psycho!... What the fuck are you guys waiting for? GET HIM" The Katana man commanded as he struggled to break free after losing the function on one of his arms.
The rest of the men surrounded Denji as they all pulled out their weapons and unloaded on Denji.
"Agh what the hell! Rude much?" Denji instinctively covered his face as the hail of bullets began to barely break the skin which did hurt but so far it wasn't anything serious.
"Heh!" Taking the chance once the attackers were reloading, Denji unleashed several whip-like chains from his hands and subdued all of the attackers.
While holding the reigns to the gunners and with a mighty swipe of his arm, Denji smashed the blade that protruded from the hybrid's head and swiftly brought his fist down on the devil's head, breaking a few bones and knocking out his will-be captive for good.
"BOSS!" The men struggled as they called out for their only ticket out of the clutches of the authorities as Denji reeled them in as the chains retracted slowly back into his body.
"Yo, POWER! Tell the other's mission's done! Let's get the hell outta here."
"Roger!"
"Denji!? what!?" The frantic duo of seniors ran into the room and yelled out as soon as they saw him bundling up the attackers.
"Oh, hey guys, can you ID the dude so we can get outta here?" Denji cheerfully said as he tugged on the chains.
"And you assholes are coming with me!"
"T-this p-punk? Beat the boss?"
"Yeah, I did. Wanna see how I did it firsthand?" Denji balled up his fist with a smirk as the group of men held their hands up and got up into a neat line.
"That's better, let's go."
"Uh, Denji, what the hell did you do?" Aki questioned as he inspected the bloody face of the Yakuza boss that had attacked them before.
"We saw you ripping through the floor and onto the ceiling! Since when were you a walking wrecking ball?" An amazed Himeno pointed at the giant hole behind him and inspected his clothes and body for damage.
"Ehehehe! For a while I guess, you proud of your junior?"
"Awe, how can I not be?" Himeno threw her arm around Denji's shoulder and grabbed his cheek.
"Well, it all checks out, this is our target. A little off-putting that this was all over so fast but good to know you're efficient."
"You wrecked the building though, so you're gonna have a ton of paperwork after this."
"And we need to leave now, who knows if this all collapses because of your little stunt."
"Shit…" Denji sulked as he yanked the chain once again and walked out into the hallway with the others.
Outside of the building the fiends and devils were already with their escorts heading off onto the headquarters and the team was currently handing over the terrorists to the authorities and giving out any additional information. Once it all ended Denji plopped down on the edge of the sidewalk and gave off a great sigh into the air as Kishibe motioned off the rest of the cops and walked over to him.
"Well I'll be, you're a real badass, didn't think you'd actually get it done."
"Don't underestimate me, geezer" Denji shot him a cheeky grin as the man put his container back in its pocket and surveyed the surroundings.
"So, you want your happy meal now?"
"Do I get a toy?"
"If I feel generous."
"You better."
"Get your shit and let's go, tell the fiend she can come if she wants"
" 'Kay" Getting up, Denji walked off past him to the defensive Power and let her know the plans.
"I see, so this will no longer be just another training session?" Power exclaimed as she emerged from behind Aki.
"He already said you passed so drop the whole 'brave' act and let's go, I'm hungry" Denji offered her his arm which she automatically latched on to and they were off.
After Kishibe "suggested" that he would take Denji and Power off Aki's hands for the day, their caretaker had no choice but to accept and follow through with the report with Himeno as they were the seniors of this operation.
In a nearby bar, the bartender handed Denji and Power a small plate of assorted grilled meats as Kishibe ordered his usual round of drinks.
"Listen Blood, keep yourself in check and don't make a scene" Now knowing just how manic Power got when eating, Kishibe flashed his knife and eyed her to make sure she didn't start making a mess in the small establishment.
"Hrmp! My skills have sharpened old man, you dare give me orde-mmphhmf" She stopped mid-sentence to hurl muffled expletives at Denji who was currently covering her mouth and taking the plate away from her hands.
"Nah~, I'll be feeding you since you always miss your mouth when eating so say 'ahhhh'..."
"Such an embarrassing display of…mmmph!" Shutting her up again, Denji couldn't hold back a laugh as she crossed her arms and munched on a juicy piece of grilled octopus.
"Hmph" With a reserved chuckle, Kishibe turned to the decorated wall behind the bartender, the litany of liquor and eccentric items adorning the well-lit establishment as the two bickered away.
"Say, kid, word around the agency says you're Makima's new pet" Kishibe decided to pry into the nature of Denji's employment as he could deduce that he was incredibly strong and he definitely needed that kind of firepower on his side.
"I ain't no one's pet." Denji took a swig of his tea and continued to feed his buddy her choice of meat.
"Those days are long gone."
"Hmm…you're a damn liar" Turning back to his glass, the dead-eyed hunter contemplated the very nature of his primary enemy and turned back to the teen.
"With her, there's no such thing outside of that…either dogs she can handle or dogs she cannot" Turning to Denji he pointed to
"Which one are you?"
"One with a loose enough leash to tell you this shit"
Seeing as Power was busy eating his portion of the food he turned to his drink and eyed the amber liquid swirling around the glass.
"You don't need to worry about me either…"
"That's what they all say"
"Yeah well I put my money where my mouth is, you'll see." Denji paused when he felt a strange weight on his shoulder.
Kishibe spoke in a more somber and dreadful tone, never taking his sight away from the display of liquor in front of them.
"She's a bit more than just a pretty face with a few leashes…"
"...How so"
"..." Taking a napkin and a pen he swiped from behind the counter, he started writing on a piece of paper before he was stopped by the Denji.
"I know. And I'm telling you it's fine…trust me" Going back to his drink, Denji finished his last glass and turned to Power who was snoring on the counter.
"Thanks for everything old man, when I make enough here, I'll treat ya!"
"You are free to cry upon my departure!"
Seeing the lively duo take their leave, Kishibe turned to the bartender and gave a heavy sigh.
"Keep 'em coming."
After a relatively calm night's sleep, Denji awoke to see his buddy with a few extra "features" on her head and freaked out. As per usual, getting startled from her slumber made the fiend extremely violent and he could've sworn her punches hurt a bit this time. Given this development, Aki quickly called Makima, Power's original handler who settled to meet them at her office to handle the matter herself. Much to the fiend's dismay, this visit resulted in the suggestion to get a special appointment to get the fiend's blood drained as consuming too much of it made her grow more violent and powerful.
Makima then turned to Denji and shot him the usual disarming smile. As a trembling Power left with the specialists, only Makima and him remained surrounded by bookcases. The Atmosphere was heavy but it was mainly due to Denji becoming nervous at the thought that any day now they would have the date but she had yet to mention any specifics so he wondered if she was even serious about that…
"So…now that we're here, how about we figure out the details of our date, hm?"
"H-huh?" of course! He'd forgotten they were due a date whenever she was free and it seemed like now was his perfect chance to get the ship sailing.
"Don't tell me you forgot?"
"N-No! I just didn't think I'd come so soon!"
"Well tomorrow will be the day, let's meet at the cinema down the street tomorrow morning" Clasping her hands behind her, she turned towards a nearby book that read and set it upright.
"The special marathon starts tomorrow and it's conveniently going to be held at the theater down the street so how about we get there super early and catch all the flicks?" With a finger to her cheek and a playful wink, she made Denji shudder in excitement, much to her amusement.
"A whole day?"
"Pretty much, some of them are pretty lengthy, and I promise it won't be nearly as violent a time as our last day together"
"Heh, I hope so…this is gonna be my first date with a girl so treat me kindly please!"
"You have my word. I expect the same from you as well" Makima stepped towards Denji and reinforced her expectations by laying a single slender finger on his chest right where his starter was.
"S-sure." Gulping down some air he remained locked behind the prison of her gaze as her pointer finger slid down and off his chest.
Her eyes never left his as she stepped back into the small corridor created by two tall bookcases with the cast of their shadows slowly obscuring her form outside of her ringed, devilish eyes. Denji felt as if she was instructing him to follow her as her eyes beamed with a somewhat alluring and scary glow beneath the shade. He absentmindedly followed in her steps as her lips gently coiled into a more sly smile.
"I think we already settled the matter of our date, so…why are you still here I wonder?..."
"Uh…dunno…can't…say" He never broke eye contact as she stopped and turned with her back to the bookcase as they were now pretty deep into the corridor and…suspiciously out of the line of sight of any worker that could suddenly walk in.
Denji now was in front of her and her eyes began to bore holes into his brain, he felt as if an invisible force was wrestling with his sense of self-control, even more than usual so he shook his head, noticing that it was indeed the devil in front of him attempting to work her powers on his mind.
"Don't…Miss, please"
"Just checking. I really am pretty helpless when it comes to influencing you…or am I?" She turned to a hand that was firmly gripping the shelf just behind her head and then back at Denji with a stare of self-satisfaction.
"I'm still a guy y'know" he responded as he huffed a fresh breath of air in an attempt to regain his composure.
"That you are…and I am a devil but you know…" Placing a hand on his chest, her eyes finally broke contact and trailed down his torso where her hand lay.
"Given the specifics of my nature, let's say… this form closely resembles you humans because I hold no ill will towards humanity, and while not everything about this phenomenon is exactly clear to me…" She curled her fingers into the likeness of a claw and dragged her hand across the ridges of his chest and upper abdomen. The shape of every muscle and the sturdiness of their form was clearly affecting her despite her desire to fight it off and stay in control. She felt the very nature of her being fading away with every slight curve her fingers glided along.
"It seems I'm as much a woman as I am a devil" Her eyes looked up at him, this time with a feeling of yearning behind them as her breathing became more audible and labored. Even so, Denji just turned his head in confusion.
"H-Huh? Why what does that me-" Denji attempted to ask before getting cut off by an unfamiliar voice.
"Um, Miss Makima? Are you here?" A lone man called out as he entered the office, dossier in hand.
With a hiss that startled even Denji, she turned towards the direction of the voice with an expression that ran shivers down the teen's spine. Her face contorted into that of a predator that had its meal interrupted for a brief second before bracing herself against his chest and breathing out. Turning back towards the source of the voice, she sensed the figure slowly walking towards their location and decided to intercept it before their questionable position drew unnecessary attention to them.
"Yes?" She walked out with a serious expression on as the man was suddenly startled by her suddenly popping out from the corridor.
"U-uh the papers from the city council are in, regarding the damage to the street and public amenities outside of the building. Also, the owner wishes to speak with you regarding the damage to the building in our recent raid" Handing over the papers she scanned them a bit before placing them back on the dossier and looking back up at the against, her cold gaze drove shivers down his spine as, unbeknownst to him, he was a slight mishap away from getting killed.
"Will that be all?" Her words were like sharp, icy blades which made the man bow and quickly take his leave as the menacing air around her was now made very apparent.
With a sigh, Makima brushed her hair back with her hands and let out her frustrations at having their brief exploration on the shadowy corridor interrupted.
"It's fine, we should leave the deeper topics for our date anyways" She turned and smiled at him in such a way that it made him raise an eyebrow in doubt.
"I can wait here if you want"
"No, no, I actually do have plenty of work piling up after our successful mission so you go home and rest up, it's gonna be a long day tomorrow" Fixing his tie she smiled at him and playfully patted his cheek.
"W-will do!" cheerfully replying, he walked out as she soon followed and they parted ways, left to their own devices. Denji couldn't help but let his mind dwell on the many possibilities of tomorrow. His first date with Makima was at hand and he had no idea how to behave, dress, or even if he should bring flowers or something.
In his deep thought, he didn't even notice running into a rather strange-looking woman sporting a peculiar Breton hat that obscured her face.
"Oh! Sorry" Denji stepped back while apologizing but could not help but notice her body language was kind of weird but even more strange was the air that surrounded her.
"No problem." She stated in a tone as dry as the Sahara as she looked up at him completely straight-faced.
Getting a good look at her features, he noticed a couple of cute moles adorning her slender face and her hair was a dark muted pink that he could've sworn smelled like strawberries, she sported a number of earrings and two distinctively long ones hanging from the bottom of her earlobes. Her appearance also was that of a school girl, her body adorned with a rather plain-looking uniform. She tilted her head and scanned his appearance before continuing her walk to wherever.
Denji turned to look at her leaving figure as he couldn't help but have the look of her eyes stuck in his head. A bright color with multiple rings around her pupils, just like Makima.
"The hell?..." This was certainly a strange occurrence, those eyes were different but he couldn't shake their similarities to the love of his life and the air around her made it all the more curious. Pochita did mention Makima stood amongst 3 other devils that represented the coming of the end times but, at the time, their whereabouts were unknown. Pochita managed to make it out the victor though heavily wounded but these devils just up and disappeared.
It made sense that they would've made their way into the human realm as Makima did. If this was the case, he had to stay on his toes as this could spell trouble for his own devices of serenading his red-haired queen.
"Whatever, I'll keep trainin' but I ain't missing that date tomorrow for nuthin'" Shrugging it off was just his style and preference as he already had enough on his plate for the time being and couldn't be bothered to add more servings of crap onto his plate.
The girl in question turned the corner and disappeared into a nearby empty alleyway.
"So, Chainsaw Man is definitely around this area as I figured" She spoke to a rather ominous-looking door that appeared at the very end of the dark and dirty corridor.
The door cracked open and a monstrous yet somewhat feminine hand slid out, placing its palm on the girl's outstretched hand.
"What delicacy would you have me prepare for him, Miss?"
"Nothing for now, but I will contact you again soon enough, please be prepared for a number of difficult dishes, he seems plenty troublesome which will be a problem. I had calculated he'd be pretty weakened by now but his mere presence shook me to a point where I can't even think about food."
"Blasphemous."
"I know, but now that he's gone, I'm hungry again so this is the end of our conversation for now"
"I will await further orders." The hand disappeared into the terrible darkness behind the door which disappeared soon after.
"I see he's joined with a mere human, but how did Control even manage to make a pet out of that?" The girl ruminated on the confusing scenario she found herself in as she walked to a nearby bakery.
As the bell jingled the girl at the cash register suddenly gulped at the sight of the girl.
"M-miss Fami! I assume y-you come for the usual"
"Is it ready?"
"Yes…We prepared it in advance, our entire roster of sweets in those boxes over there."
"Perfect, keep the change." She placed a number of bills on the table, some carrying blood stains.
"M-miss is this blood?"
"Don't worry about it. Thanks for the food." She calmly responded as she took the several boxers of baked goods and sat down to chow down.
"I can never get a read on her…" The baker in charge spoke in a hushed tone as they eyed the mysterious girl devouring sweet after sweet.
"I know. Doesn't she eat way too much too? It's not human…"
"And she never seems to gain a single bit of fat"
"Lucky~"
Dismissing the number of red flags surrounding the girl, the two employees knew she was good business and were frankly, too afraid of her to further pry into it and draw her attention.
"Delicious…" Fami finished her meal and looked out the window towards the setting sun.
"A world without these delicacies isn't fit to live in, wouldn't you agree, Chainsaw?"
