巨大なタイタンを殺す
XXXVI: Kill the Colossal Titan
Way Big stared down at the mutated titan in front of him. Akame, who was riding on Incursio could not keep her eyes off of the two. Incursio had to find a spot safe enough for them not to be splattered. They safely landed on top of the cliffside. It was high enough to see the fight, but far enough for them not to get hurt or killed in the process. It was at that moment, Akame knew Dr. Stylish was fucked. She climbed off from Incursio's back to marvel at the two titans facing each other down.
Akame walked towards the edge. She had never seen this type of power before. Just by looking at it, Way Big looked powerful. Incursio, now changing back to Tatsumi, had his jaw lowered down to the ground. Gwen and company all joined them on the cliff.
"So...Way Big huh?" Leone was speechless, "And all this time..."
"Whoa," Lubbock intercepted, "And all this time I thought Ben was bluffing."
As everyone all marveled, Akame held her hand over her heart watching Way Big guard up, "Go get him," she said quietly - until she noticed one person missing from the queue. She turned to her team.
"Hey guys?" she began, "Others turned to the red assassin, "Where's Sheele?"
...
Down below the cliff, Sheele, with her Imperial Arms, ran in the valley sprinting towards Way Big, hurrying to help her dear friend.
...
Way Big and Dr. Stylish stared each other down. Dr. Stylish froze in immense fear. He was not prepared for this, though he had taken notes of the transformations Ben would transform into thanks to Seryu's descriptions of the beast, she never mentioned a creature that goes along the lines of Way Big. This made him ponder on whichever other transformation does this boy have in his sleeves. Just the very thought of it made him quiver.
Dr. Stylish was petrified. This quickly escalated from being a joyful massacre of power to an outright obliteration just by seeing him. Unlike the other members of the Jaegers, Dr. Stylish was a very smart man. He rarely lets his ego take over him, however, things like this, this strange titan in front of him could prove as a fatal mistake if he faces him.
However, in a similar vein, he could face Esdeath's wrath, which was a lot worse. He had no say in the matter, he had to fight - but not for pride - but for survival. He knew Ben would not kill, as told by a few witnesses, especially Seryu, but that would be backed up by her saying that Ben was a weakling who loves evil and such. Dr. Stylish had to play this right. He straightens himself out and regained his composure.
Sheele, meanwhile down below, stopped in the middle of her tracks, hundreds of feet away from the battle circle. She had to keep her distance.
"Ben, whatever you are going to do, please be careful," Sheele prayed.
"So you must be the almighty Ben Tennyson, am I right?" Dr. Stylish asked.
Way Big crossed his arms, "Yeah and what of it?"
"Esdeath had taken interest in you," Dr. Stylish said, "She said that you have proven to be even more powerful than the blacksmith, thus I heard that you tried to kill her. Am I right?"
"Don't remind me," Way Big growled.
Sheele listened in closely from down below on the ground while Incursio and Akame (now off his back) were at the opposite side of the valley ogled at the two behemoths. Incursio was curious about why Way Big wasn't unleashing hell upon this mad scientist. Akame wondered about the same. Though, a creature as mighty as Way Big could prove as a potential Trump Card or list of Trump Cards stored in the Ultimatrix. She analyzed that by stalling time, Ben could gather all the time he needs to take down the mad scientist.
It was just a matter of time.
"I know you and she has gotten on the wrong foot and everything. She is for justice; you are for justice. It's all equity. You do not kill your opponents, but she does; however, that doesn't mean you two have different goals. You want to annihilate the corruption and the disgusting evil plaguing this Empire right?"
Way Big did not respond.
"Exactly my point," he continued, "You are confused, you have no idea who or what you are fighting. So let me clarify," he began, "Night Raid is a terrorist organization killing innocent people day by day. All the blood they spill and the bodies they claim is all for profit. I mean they are assassins after all. They aren't like you or me you know, helping people just to help people. They are like lions. They stalk their prey and they pounce. And for their reward, they tear the flesh and bones from their victim's bodies. They are not normal assassins from what you witnessed. They are Political Predators, seeking to overthrow the government and establish a totalitarian rule under the former General Najenda. Just imagine the repercussions if this means to happen!" Dr. Stylish said.
"But you killed people as well too, so how are you a hero?" Way Big asked.
"Police, Soldiers, and other political entities take lives, but it's for the better of the nation. Heroes are born from suffering not privilege, though I'm not that convincing myself, but I'm telling the truth. And I know deep down you know this."
Way Big stopped in his tracks and pondered. He cared so much about his friends over at Night Raid, he wanted to protect them from the Empire, but coming from this POV was pretty confusing. He had no idea what to do.
Dr. Stylish offered his hand.
Meanwhile, Sheele covered her mouth, horrified at the notion of Ben ever betraying the cause. She slowly backed away fearing for the worst. Akame, above slowly pulled out her sword, Murasame, fearing for the absolute worst. While everyone else, save for Kevin and Gwen, kept on guard on what's to come. They were about to fight a literal one-man-army, and with his other friends, this fight was going to be futile. Kevin and Gwen had to step out a little bit knowing full well that being in an angry crowd could cause a lot of trouble.
Sheele was in tears as Way Big extended his hand of friendship to Dr. Stylish.
Angry, Akame pulled out her sword and cried, "TRAITOR!"
Sheele collapsed to his knees, her heart pulsated, skipped several rhythms as her body shook, heated and froze, fluctuated from love and betrayal. Fear and Admiration. However, she saw one hint of loyalty when she saw Way Big's fingers crossed behind his back.
"Ben!" she said inaudibly as her tears began to dominate her face. Akame jumped forward enraged wanting nothing more but his head. Sheele quickly acted. She climbed on top of Way Big, leaped over his finger and pushed herself at their cross of the kill zone. She intercepted the line and gave a bone-crushing kick to Akame's chest and another kick to Incursio's abdomen pushing them back to the cliff side.
"What are you doing?" Akame yelled.
"Yeah! He...!"
"Look what's behind his back!" Sheele pointed them the double cross of the fingers behind his back. Everyone relaxed, but Akame tensed up knowing full well the power Ben wielded.
"Ben would never betray us! Trust me, I know what he's doing," she said.
"And how?" Incursio said.
"Because she loves him," Akame intercepted shocking Incursio to the point that he transformed back into Tatsumi.
"Wait...what?"
"It's true," Sheele said, blushing, "But my love for him is not the reason why we should kill him! And I know deep inside, Akame you care about him too, no?"
Akame lowered her sword, remembering the sudden anger she felt.
"Ben's no traitor, and I'll be damned to see anyone harming him in any way!" Sheele said blocking them from getting close to him.
Mimi analyzed the physical interaction between her former Master and the Changeling. She may not know Ben muchm, but her intuition of body language started to kick back in.
"He's not betraying you," she started to say, grabbing everyone from Night Raid's attention.
"What?" Leone asked.
"I said, he's not betraying you," she said.
"How, he just..."
"Look!" Mimi showed the group the crossed fingers behind Way Big's back.
...
Way Big shook Dr. Stylish's hand, "I'm glad we get to see things eye to eye," Dr. Stylish said.
"Yeah," Way Big said, displeased violently pulling Dr. Stylish close to him. His smirk got wider, Dr. Stylish was confused.
"W-What are you doing?"
"You would have fooled me when I first came here when I was naive of this world," Way Big smiled, it waned fast, "But ever since that white witch harmed one of my friends, you think I'm just gonna let it all go and sing Kumbaya? Plus, you killing that other chick was a dead giveaway!"
Mr. Stylish gritted.
"So in all seriousness, you should do a world a favor and..." Way Big grabbed Dr. Stylish, twirled into a tornado, almost blowing everyone away. Sheele stomped her blade into the ground; she and everyone else held on. Gwen formed a pink dome over everyone much to Mimi's shock.
"FUCK...!" Way Big yelled. He threw the mad scientist into the air at Mach Speeds breaking the sound barrier, "OFF!"
SONIC BOOM! Way Big jumped in the sky amazing everyone down below. Leone's jaw dropped so far down it struck the lithosphere. Everyone in Night Raid shook and collapsed. Mine dropped her weapon while riding on the Danger Beast Air Manta with General Najenda.
The ex-General couldn't keep her eyes off of Ben. Her mind was tidally locked to the boy of both fear and security.
"So Kevin was right," Najenda said, "Ben Tennyson is a powerful ally."
...
Above Dr. Stylish, a tenacious Way Big drop kicked the mad scientist down below, with a violent dose of a powerful cosmic blast straight to the chest illuminating the morning of the day. Dr. Stylish screamed in pain as the hot, toasty light pierced his body, lighting it on fire on the way down making the view as if a portal was opening up from the monster's stomach. The ray had ceased, but Way Big ended the fight by stomping on Dr. Stylish's neck blinding the viewers in hazel blue light and dust.
Everyone coughed. Gwen powered up.
"TUR-BO!" she produced a whirlwind spell the expelled all the dust and excess light in the area leaving a battered landscape. The old Hideout was blown through after the explosion. The entire cliffside was covered in blood.
Everyone was horrified at the sight.
"D-damn!" Leone was speechless, "No mercy at all."
When the dust cleared, Way Big was gone, at his place was a 16-year old boy sitting on the giant kneecaps of the monster Dr. Stylish. Ben waved at them.
"Hiya!" he said.
While everyone was in a state shock, Sheele was relieved. Both of her hands were over her heart as a permanent, soulful smile painted on her face.
...
Later on that morning, Kevin pulled an unconscious Dr. Stylish from off from the body of the Danger Beast he merged out of. Sheele, as always guarded Ben, even to the point of tightly holding his hand. Akame, with her arms crossed, kept her eye on Ben. She would often give a sharp glare at anyone looking at him the wrong way. Akame had to stay clear of this. Ben might be powerful, but an angry Sheele was no one to deal with. She noticed that Sheele was very protective of Ben and as of recently, Ben was the same, but she would not see Ben react much if Sheele was in danger - well one time she did, but not to the extent Sheele was. That was a whole different level.
Sheele even protected Ben from an attack from Akame, that was surprising. She figured this from her attacks, so Akame had to watch out; however, there was another feeling that was lurking inside. She couldn't explain it. It wasn't fear nor hatred. Her head felt numb, but her stomach felt heavy. It was as if she was carrying hundreds of tons of weight on her shoulders with a string and a plastic bag.
It was jealousy. Though she felt bad - and yet shamed from ever attacking her teammate out of spite, she never had this much feeling in her heart.
Her eyes were on the Changeling, but moreover on Ben.
Dr. Stylish started to wake up, however, when he did, he noticed something drastic. He couldn't move his body - let along his hands. He looked down and saw energy cuffs on his wrists.
He looked back up at the team that arrested him.
He noticed even that a towel was placed on him covering his nether-regions.
"W-what?"
"Don't even think about it, dude," Kevin said, "I paid a lot of money to get those. You're not getting out."
"What are these? Handcuffs?" Dr. Stylish asked astonished at the technology.
"Sources say that the Empire has the Nemetrix," Gwen said, "And since you happen to be a member, we assume that you or someone you know might have contact with it."
"I have no idea what you guys are talking about," Dr. Stylish said.
"Don't play dumb," Kevin said, "You are miles away from being shipped to the null-void versus petting Dingos in the Down Under. So if I were you, I'd tell the truth!" Kevin warned.
"And you better make this quick!" Akame said, "I'm really fast with my blade, and I have no qualms slicing your neck open."
"Mimi...!"
Mimi walked back towards Ben holding his arm, only for Akame and Sheele to give her venomous stares.
"Mimi, can't save you now! Now, where is the Nemetrix?" Leone asked playing diplomat.
Dr. Stylish was silent, confused at what they were talking about.
"I'm running out of patience," Sheele said pushing Ben fully behind her. She pulled her Imperial Arms out, opened the blades centering the mad scientist between them. The enraged, impatient Sheele had just enough of the scientist's escapades. Everyone tried to calm her down.
"Unless you don't want to be as half of a man as you are now, you tell us where the goddamn shit is or else I'll transform this valley into a GODDAMN CANVAS!" You have 10 seconds," Sheele threatened.
"Is that a threat?"
"5 seconds!"
"Alright! Alright! I'll tell you! I'll tell you!" Dr. Stylish said, "Esdeath has it, but she has no idea what it is!"
"Who did she give it to?" she asked.
"Seryu Ubiquitous!" he said.
"WHAT!?" Ben, Akame, and Sheele all screamed. All the rest of Night Raid backed off. Ben, though angry had to fight his urge from transforming into Rath to ask where the woman is. Gwen had no idea who Seryu was but could tell that she caused a great amount of grief in the team. Kevin dug in his pockets for something before things got messy.
"What are you doing Kevin?" Gwen asked.
"Trust me," Kevin winked at Gwen confusing Leone and Lubbock. Mimi shook in terror.
"Do you have any idea what would happen if Seryu got it?" Sheele broke her cool. She was conflicted between chopping him in half versus beating him to death. However as many feared, she would rather take the latter than the former. Her blades inched closer to a begging scientist. It even got to the point where Akame and Ben tried to calm her.
"Ben, think fast!" Kevin yelled. Before Kevin ever thought about throwing it to a wide-open Ben, Sheele had just tossed her Imperial Arms away, marched towards the scientist and presumed to beat him. She grabbed Stylish's neck, dramatically picked him up and, pushed, and delivered rapid punches through various areas of his body. Blood and bones spurred. Every punch she landed was bone crushing.
Stylish spat blood from his mouth, "N-no more!"
"Seryu was the one that almost killed my sweetheart! SHE was the one responsible for the hundreds of deaths and you gave that Nemetrix to her?" Sheele angrily asked.
"I-I-I never...Seryu..."
"Seryu is a piece of shit who should die along with that little Imperial Arms she has! I'll make sure you meet your demise as slow as I can possibly can!"
She spun a deadly kick to his neck; his skull fractured. Sheele continued pounding him until she picked him up and threw in the air before delivering a devastating reverse roundhouse kick to his stomach forming a footprint through his back before dropkicking him to the ground. She landed on the ground grabbed her Imperial Arms to the pleading Scientist until an orb was thrown in front of him. Ben grabbed her and presumed to kiss her, distracting her long enough for the orb to activate. She was struck on shocked.
"What?" Without warning, the orb opened up, sucking him inside the ball. Agonizing screams followed by a bone-crushing blow to the head served as the catalyst to the scientist's demise.
This was a fate worse than death.
They broke the kiss. Sheele angrily turned to Kevin who pointed to Leone who was the one who threw the ball.
"Don't look at me like that!" Leone said.
Akame was just in shock at the amount of energy and raw rage Sheele had.
Ben draped his hand over her shoulder, "Are you ok?" Immediately, Sheele turned around to a worried Ben and hugged him.
"Ben! Are you alright? Please tell me you are! I'm so sorry! So sorry!"
Ben tried to breathe, "It's okay. You can let go of me now!"
"Good grief! Despite the fact I want the guy dead, I didn't want to actually see someone getting beaten to death - unless it's by me," Leone said.
"Sheele must really love Ben," Lubbock said, "Lucky bastard."
"Where did you send him, Kevin?" Mimi finally asked.
"The Null Void," he said.
"The Null What?" Leone asked.
"The Null Void is an intergalactic prison, Kevin thought trapping him in there would - well spare his life a little since..."
"So he's alive..."
"Barely," Kevin and Gwen said in unison after witnessing that horror show.
