22 Madness: SLAUGHTER
[Later]
After everything calmed down and got fixed, the group was called for a mission. They were grouped around a table with a map over it.
Esdeath: We've come to learn about a fortress that's being inhabited by a group of bandits near Gyogan lake.
Seryu: Of course! We suspected that these shameful evil-doers had some sort of refuge on the outskirts of the capital.
Esdeath: Umu, we're delaying the search for the location of Night Raid for a short while. For now, we should deal with enemies we can see.
Bols: And if the enemy should surrender, what should we do, captain?
Esdeath: Surrender is a tool of the weak… And it's nature's course that the weak shall be removed from the world.
Seryu: Ahahaha, to be able to slaughter evil-doers before they can commit evil… I am… Truly glad I've become a part of this group.
Billy: ...I don't know about you guys, but there is something wrong with that girl's brain… Where did she come from?
Seryu: From the imperial army's team for special people!
Billy: Ohh… 'Now I understand…'
Tatsumi/Wave: 'That explain things…'
Esdeath: I have one thing I'd like to tell you before we move out. Each of you will be required to eliminate dozens of people. This is the type of work we will be doing from this point forward. Are you all fully prepared for that?
Bols: I'm a soldier, I follow orders. Even for this type of work… Even if it means I must kill.
Kurome: I'm the same… This is merely practice at following orders. This is how I've always thought of it.
Wave: I… was able to join the navy due to the patronage of a certain great man… If I were to ask him how I may repay that great favor. He would tell me "Just do your best and fight for the sake of your country, that's all you need to do"... So I can do this! Even if it means my life!
Run: For the sake of making my desires come to fruition, I wish to rise higher and higher. Even if it means I can't do the most purest of deeds. Seen in that way, I wish nothing more than to proceed with this mission.
Esdeath: How about you, doctor?
Dr. Stylish: Hmm. My guiding principle is quite simple. That is the pursuit of style!!! So, you understand now?
Esdeath: Nope, not at all.
Dr. Stylish: From the moment I saw Esdeath… I knew it. That unfathomable strength… That ice-like cruelty… Ahh… It's as if a goddess was descending from heaven!!! That style is without equal! I wanted nothing more than to study you!
Esdeath: …And you, Billy?
Billy: Well… It's been more than 10 years since I've gone m̵͕̔̆́ͧͤ̋̄ͅa̡̯̠̣ͬͣ̋̔̾ͣ̔ď̰̠̜̪̹̋̃̍͐ͫ̔… Who cares about others.
Esdeath: I see no doubts among you all then… That's good. Then it's time to head out! let's go, Tatsumi!
Tatsumi: Eh… Me too!?
Esdeath: As a substitute member, it'll be good for you to see the abilities of your fellow teammates.
And so, they left the capital and traveled towards their destination.
[Later]
Run: We've memorized the layout and enemy position, so what kind of strategy should we use?
Seryu: Justice demands that we fight fair and square, and attack from the front!
Wave: ...Hey guys?
Dr. Stylish: Yes?
Wave: Where is Billy?
Everyone looked around, but there wasn't a single trace of Billy…
Wave: ...Don't tell me he's already inside?!
Bols: *Sigh* That guy…
[Meanwhile]
Billy was over a really big mansion, he fell down and turned around, towards three bandits, then he took out his two FN Five-seven and dual wielded the guns, killing the three bandits in 4 hits before they could react.
Then he put one of them back in his pocket and entered in the mansion. The first thing he saw was a knife thrown towards him, he tilted his head and shot at the attacker in the head, before he shot at the other 2 men that were behind, the first died with another headshot while the other with a hit in the chest and another in the stomach.
Another man armed with a sword came out, he rushed at Billy to slash at him, but Billy put back his pistol on the pocket and grabbed the guy's shoulder with the armed arm and his head, before…
*Riiip*
Billy ripped off the man's head barehanded and threw it away. He looked in front of him and saw a locked door, at his right there was a reinforced box full of swords, so he pointed a finger at it and lifted the box up, before throwing it at the locked door, slamming it down.
Behind the door, there were armed men holding a rifle, and showered Billy with bullets, Billy just placed his palm in front of him, and all the bullets stopped in front of him, shocking the shooters, Billy pushed the palm forward and all the bullets turned back to the bandits, killing them.
Then he took out a Micro Uzi and his Dragon Sword before proceeding forward.
When he reached the next room, there were other bandits, one of them jumped at Billy, he and his sword got slashed in half from the Dragon Sword while the rest was taken care from the Micro Uzi.
He proceeded in the next room, after kicking off the door, he threw away his Micro Uzi and sheathed his Dragon Sword, before a fissure opened under him and he took out a Minigun.
*RATATATATATATATATATATATATA*
He shot at every bandit in front of him, making holes in the wall behind them and causing an extremely loud sound around the settlement.
When he finished, he moved one hand behind him and striked behind, there was the sound of something breaking before the palm hit flesh.
A bandit tried to sneak attack on him from behind, but not only did Billy break the sword of the bandit, he crushed the man's chest, breaking his ribcage, making some bones pierce the heart and killing him.
Billy: Alright, the job here is done… Now let's go with a big boom, shall we?
He summoned 4 big packs of C4 and placed them at the corners of the mansion, where the foundations stood. Then he walked out from the mansion with a remote controller on his hands.
When he looked around, he saw that the place was on fire, and the smell of blood and iron was everywhere. He ignored it and met with Seryu and Koro.
Seryu: Oh! You are safe!
Billy: Pfft, you need more to kill me. Where are the others?
Seryu: The others are waiting for you outside, they sent me to get you.
Billy shrugged and followed Seryu, before he pressed the button on his remote controller.
*BOOOOOOM*
The mansion fell apart like sand and a giant explosion came out from it.
Seryu: What was that?!
Koro: Kyuun!
Billy: What, are you scared of a little explosive?
Seryu: Of course not! Hmph!
And so they met again with the rest of the Jaegers and Tatsumi before they left to the capital…
Esdeath: Hey Billy, can you just teleport us to the capital?
Wave: He can do that?!
Everyone looked at Billy in surprise, they walked kilometers over kilometers, just to find out that Billy could teleport them back to the capital.
Billy: Esdeath, can we consider this as a training for endurance for everyone while I teleport you and Tatsumi to the capital?
Esdeath: Hmm… That's a good idea.
Billy: Ok.
Run: W-Wait!
However Billy disappeared in a black fissure, which extended a crack towards Esdeath and Tatsumi, before engulfing them in darkness, the fissures in the ground disappeared, leaving the 6 Jeagers alone…
Kurome: ...Hateful…
Seryu: That guy…!
Dr. Stylish: That ungrateful little…
Wave: Now we need to walk for 80 more kilometers back to the capital… RAAAAARRGHHHH!!!!!
Bols: Calm down guys, take this as a training for our endurance… Unlike Billy, we can't teleport in different places, so if we get separated then we need to trust our legs.
Run: Heh, Bols, you are still optimistic… It's hard to believe that someone that looks like you can behave like this. Well, I guess it's time to move back to the capital…
Wave: Yeah...
