Highschool Wars: Scars and guns.
TWO DAYS LATER
THE DEMON'S SCARS.
THE FIFTH DAY. THE SECOND WEEK.
Tyler was up on at the Sniper's tower where he'd met Llyia, working on his long range death with his new M24 Sniper. Llyia was also there, since she was the most experienced with that particular rifle. banggggg
"Hit, off center by two centimeters, adjust 1 degree to right, wind still zero, correction zero and clear!"
Tyler let fly with the more powerful rifle. He was working on 750m targets today. Sherie had replaced the stock barrel with a slightly longer barrel, and added a bipod underneath. Tyler had swapped the ten round mags for twenty rounds, and had slapped the 8x/red dot hybrid sniper scope on it. He'd asked Llyia to help him practice because she used a similar rifle, and because he liked being around the silver haired beauty. His squad was fully operational now, Yuki and Maria handled everything from ammo to food. Sherie was up to her eyes in their guns, and was loving every minute of it. Although Tyler had caught her on more then one occasion with the barrel of one of his guns up her snatch. He'd found it flattering, and a little odd. Major Fujimara was also his second in command squad leader, and her experience was invaluable. Commander Milo was also a part of his squad, but as a supplementary member to preserve the chain of command. Dani usually did her own thing, same as Llyia. Though all of them were always within reach. Tyler could still feel the small button comms in his ears, gifts from the commander herself. The comms could reach anywhere on the campus, and provided a direct line to the commander at all hours. Tyler's and Yuki's apartment was being expanded to include room for all the squad members. His squad, the Warwolves, became the talk of the school, both for who was in it, and for it's leader. Yuki had fully recovered from her first taste of hard action, and was more-or-less back to normal. Which relieved Tyler to no end. Tyler let fly another round, scoring a perfect bullseye, sending a clear spark skyward.
"Hit, bullseye, good shot Tyler,"
"Thanks Lily, I'm not as good as you or Dani, but I'm getting there. Thanks for your help today."
He had taken to calling her Lily after sleeping in the same bag, after revealing their scars to the squad. The act had brought them closer in a fundamental way. She smiled every time he used her nickname. She would also blush and shyly look away every time he made eye contact for longer then a few seconds. Tyler kept doing it because of how frigging cute she looked when she did that. He was about to do it to her again when..
"Come in Tyler, do you read? I need to see you and Fuji in my office immediately."
"Understood, I'm at the Third Sniper tower, but I'm on my way."
"Yes, Ma'am"
Tyler sighed sadly at Llyia,
"well Milo's looking for me, so I'll see you later. If you have some free time later, wanna hang out?"
Her eyes lit up,
"Yes, I'd love that!"
He dashed off his rifle on his back calling over his shoulder as he went,
"Alright then, It's a date!"
He heard her little eep! as he left the tower, and chuckled as he did so, That girl is so frigging beautiful, and she can turn that beauty into cuteness in a moments notice and it's friggin awesome! As Tyler passed people in the hall, some would stop and salute him and he nod as he passed., He'd been promoted to first sergeant after the battle, and since he was now the leader off his own squad which counted Major Fujimara, Llyia, Sherie and Dani as members, he'd started to carry immense respect where ever he went on campus. Plus the fact that he was the only boy on the squad added fuel to the rumor mill. Tyler just shook his head at most of them, like the one that said that on the night his entire squad had slept in his room, they'd had a massive all night orgy, and he'd been the last one still standing after satisfying all the girls, including Milo and Fuji, who were very clearly lesbian lovers. He just smiled. He was walking along a hall when he heard a familiar sound.
"Hey, you ogre, watch where you swing that thing, you nearly hit me!'
"Well don't stand there, ya friggin prissy bitch!'
"ohhh, you brute, calling a goddess like myself a bitch.
"Funny how do don't deny the part about being prissy."
Shiro and Leo were bickering as usual, but as Tyler had made his quip, they fell silent. Shiro just looking away and blushing, while Leo just glared at him. Tyler didn't care about Leo one way or the other, although given his recent hostility, Tyler had his mug pinned on a board of potential turncoats. Shiro had become considerably nicer towards him after he'd saved her from being raped by intruders during an attempt on the commander's life. Her expression when he'd gone to visit her in the infirmary, bear a bouquet of blue flowers that matched her hair had left her in tears. Not even her own roommate had come to visit her. She'd been knocked out from behind, so she'd never seen the attack coming. she was wearing a white hospital gown when he'd gone to see her. He'd complemented her on how the color went with her hair. So now He'd noticed she was always wearing something white now. Today it was a scarf, the stark contrast between her hair and the cloth made her hair's vibrant sheen pop more then usual.
"Hey, Shiro that scarf looks good on you!"
She smiled as she blushed,
"Why thank you Tyler, How kind of you! I knitted it myself!"
"Did you really? You must be good wit needle and thread."
"I am pretty good, I was taught by my grandmother. I use it here to repair clothes. I'd like to make something for you, as a thank you for saving me."
"Really? Hmmm, let's see, Ca you make a pillowcase? Mine tore last night after getting caught on a loose screw."
"If you give me the right size certainly."
"Coolio, I'll catch up with you later with the size, Okay gotta run."
"see you later, Tyler!"
"Why are you so nice to that guy?"
"Because he saved me, and he's also nice to me and doesn't try to push me around. You should try being more like him!"
Tyler made a mental note to ask the commander to get Shiro away from Leo, as he could only see that ending badly for someone. He arrived at the door to Milo's office at the same time as Fuji. The tough Major was slightly sweaty, and had a slight flush on her cheeks
"wow, that fun eh?"
"Impudent prick, I was training, not whatever your thinking of,"
"Well we all need different types of training to keep us fit. So all the power to you."
"fuck you"
"The commander would get jealous!"
"i'mma kill you!"
"Later, we need to see the commander!"
Tyler then went through the door, while Fuji struggled with not beating the infuriating smartass to death. This had become something of a routine for the two now, He cracked jokes until she smacked him, or they'd trade insults, if someone who did not know them were to watch, it would seem like they were a heavily flirting couple. Tyler and Fuji walked into Milo's office, to find the brown haired war leader looking over a sheet of paper with a somber look on her face.
"So, we defending or attacking?"
She sighed, and laid the paper down.
"As usual, Priv-Sargent, You're a mind reader. We're still defending. We don't like to attack, not unless we have an ace in the hole to play. Our intel has confirmed an attack by both Wolfskrig, and Saint Aguste. Seems they're sending a large force too. Those two don't believe in retreat, so we'll have to kill them all."
"What are their special traits?"
"Wolfskrig uses trucks, carbomb, heavy machineguns, and they like to march straight in and overwhelm with sheer weight of numbers. Saint Aguste are fanatics. They use suicide chargers, and each student has a cyanide cap in their teeth in the event of capture. We can safely assume another remote controlled carbomb. Maybe even a Truckbomb, if they've a mind. as far as weaponry and tactics go. They're relaxingly straightforward: Most conventional small arms, plus with their religious frenzy and 'righteous' cause, they usually end up bum rushing machinegun nests. Oh I nearly forgot, Wolfskrig has a squad dedicated to snipers, so you'll need to watch out for that."
"Compared to Dani or Llyia how good are they?"
"there's no comparison, our girls are the very best there is."
"Good to hear, by the way what's our special trait?"
"When we attack, we use small elite strike forces, and when we send them, we give them freedom to choose their own tactics and targets. Kinda like a SEAL team. Our school is kinda feared for our attacker prowess, as we can strike without warning or seemingly without direction. Thus making us nearly impossible to prepare for. On defense, well, we're known for being the equivalent of a brick wall. We hold our ground, and very rarely have to fallback. So basically, strike like lightning, and stand like stone."
"Okay, kinda vague but okay. So...wait. We're gonna get attacked by two schools who's only defining traits are overwhelming force and suicide charges? One being a school for religious nuts and the other a school for bullet hungry grease monkeys? There's quite a difference in school culture there, how the hell are they supposed to get along on the battlefield? Something's not adding up. when's the attack?"
"I agree it's strange. Those two used to despise each other, now they want to attack together? The attacks in three days. We're preparing as we speak."
"How many are they sending at us?"
"Half the freshman class from both schools, with a hundred veterans so maybe seven hundred?"
"That same tactic again? That just adds to the puzzle."
"not really, actually it kinda fits."
"Care to explain?"
"Okay, for one thing, this is the same trick as last time, so it stands to reason that the alliance exists. Next, is the fact that you said those two schools hate each other, so if they're working together, then the question becomes who could force the opposites to cooperate? If there are schools that can force them to cooperate, we have our potential leaders of this mystery alliance. So now the question is why are they using the same tactic twice? I think they're doing it on purpose, as a good way to both weed out the weak while making the strong stronger, if you follow me. Since we get a fresh supply of freshman in six months anyway, they can increase the number of veterans with actual combat experience quite easily this way. The core of their veterans remain safe, while adding to the pool. You follow me, or have i lost you?"
"No I definitely see where you're coming from. Send the newbies to their certain deaths and any that walk back alive now have survivor instincts and combat experience, while at the same time culling the weaker veterans as well. Brilliant, but still kinda wasteful."
"I wholeheartedly agree it's waste. Still though, we can use them to sharpen our own skills."
"Okay, we need to prepare for an assault of seven hundred, with accommodations for carbombs, trucks, mounted weaponry, suicideers, and RC car/truck bombs too. I wonder if Sherie could put a rush on that fifty. I'll ask her when I pay her a visit after this. Okay, where do you want my squad?"
"I want you on overwatch on the roof again. The main building is actually dead center of the campus, and they're only four buildings obstructing the roofs lines of sight. Same formation as last time, but I'll let you decide where you want Sherie, Marie and Yuki."
"Where will you be?"
"I will lead from the control room in the basement. I have about thirty guards protecting the room."
"Can you trust them?"
"Completely, they were selected by both Fuji, and Myself."
"Understood, I'd suggest a surprise uniform inspection of the guard one hour before the doors seal. Just to be sure."
"Agreed, You and Fuji can perform it yourselves."
"Good. Now there is another matter I like to discuss with you Milo."
"Oh? You have my attention"
"It has to do with Leo Gilfreed. Recently his behavior has become increasingly hostile towards his roommate Shiro. I am concerned for her safety with the guy. I request she be removed as his roommate and Partner effective immediately. Otherwise it's going to end badly. I'd also like to request deciding her position as well."
"Hmmm, Gilfreed you say? Yes, I too have been concerned with his mindset of late. I saw him and Shiro fighting early yesterday morning, and he ended up pulling his sidearm on her in anger. He stopped himself before pulling the trigger, but it's only a matter of time before he does pull that trigger."
"Very well, Fuji, Tyler, would the two of you bring these papers to the lady Shiro? I assume she'll be happy to have Tyler come to her rescue again. As for Gilfreed, I'm placing him under surveillance. And I'll grant you the right to decide her position during the upcoming battle. This there anything further you needed Sargent?"
"Not at present, But I'll update you as needed via comms."
"Understood. I am also placing you Sargent, in charge of our defense this time around, I expect results."
"You will have them, Commander. May I and Fuji take our leave now? I'd like to see to Shiro before visiting Sherie."
"Granted. Resolve this matter before it ends in tragedy."
"Understood"
"Ma'am!!"
The pair both exited the room, leaving the exhausted girl to slump into her chair.
"That friggin guy just keeps surprising me, it's a little bit scary."
Tyler and Fuji hurried back to where Tyler had last encountered to troublesome pair. As they reached the spot they passed a private headed the opposite direction. The first-year promptly jumped to the side of the hall, and saluted the officers. Tyler stopped to ask a question,
"At ease Private. I'm looking for Privates Shiro and Gilfreed. Have you seen them?"
"Aye, sir. They're both over by Armory four, on the first floor. I just saw them, If you hurry you might catch them."
"Very good, Thanks for your help."
"Sir!"
Tyler and Fuji headed over to the Armory, discussing the coming battle as they went.
"You handled that private splendidly, sergeant. You also seem to be suited for command as well. Now do you have any plans for the coming battle?"
"I just asked the guy a question. As for the battle, I'm thinking full fire teams in each of the four buildings obstructing the roofs sight lines. They are obvious gaps. Next five foot sandbags at fifty meter intervals from the main arch to the front door. Can we mine the roads?"
"Sound strategizing thus far. We can place mines, but we don't have the tools or manpower to repave the asphalt after each battle."
"I see, well what about disguised C4 charges that just have to be shot to detonate? If we place them further down the road, we can leave a nasty surprise for our guests."
"I like that idea. I'm sure we can come up with something. I'll speak with our demo guy Alex. He'd love a chance to play with the boom boom!"
"Good, then I suppose there's just the standard ammo dumps and supply caches. I think turning the roof into a command center like last time would also be a good idea. Since we I have more of a heads up this time, we can more thoroughly prepare. Oh, do we have to worry about heavy artillery, like howitzers or mortars?"
"Mortars yes. anything bigger? No. If we had those, we'd be an actual threat to the country's military, and they can't have societies throwaways actually able to defend themselves against the 'wanteds' can they?"
"Fair enough. Oh maybe we can set a mortar pit on the roof! That be kinda fun."
"I'd advise against it, Mortar shells have a nasty habit of attracting sniper fire. And with how you'd stock the tube, We'd end up losing half the building in the resulting explosion!"
"Yeah i suppose. Hey, we can use RPG'S right? What other launchers can we play with?"
"Well, as long as it doesn't have the ability to lock on to aircraft, we can get it. So basically, RPG's, LAWS, Bazooka's, Panzerschrecks, panzerfusts and the like are fine. If you'd like we can place a china lake grenade launcher up there. That thing's a whole mess of fun to play with."
"Ahhh hell yeah! I like it! Hey, I got an idea."
"Oh this oughta be good,"
"Want about old world war two launchers, like screaming memes? Oh by the way, I now want an mg 42 for myself."
"well, mounted rockets like TOWs are forbidden for their antiaircraft capabilities. But I don't know about that. I'll ask Milo when I see her. as for the MG42, I think Sherie has one, so I'm sure she'll let you play with it."
"Sweet, I've always wanted to fire one of those. Hey there's the Armory."
The two Approached the armory's still open door, just in time to hear more arguing.
"Listen asshole, I don't care how much you try, I WILL NOT be your girlfriend. I don't like you at all. I've told you before and I'll keep telling you."
"But why? I do everything for you! Just this morning I even made your favorite breakfast! Why won't you be my girlfriend? You supposed to be grateful when people do nice things for you! yet you never show any gratitude whatsoever! I even went to visit you when you were in the hospital! What more do I have to Do!?"
"That, that right there. I won't date you because you think it's something I owe you for being a decent person. No that's not how it works! And why is visiting me in the hospital such a major point? like it's a big selling point to care about another human being?"
It went on like that, until Tyler and Fuji entered the armory, just in time to see, the bigger guy lunge at the obstinate Blue headed girl. He'd apparently become fed up with being rejected even after checking all the boxes for getting a girlfriend. How dare this chick deny such a nice guy? The big sand haired student tackled the much smaller girl to the floor and began tearing at her uniform. Shiro was caught completely off guard by his attack, and just screamed as he began tearing at her uniform.
"Come on, don't resist me! You OWE me this! I've been so good to you and you still turn me away? Not this time! I've waited for-"
"GET OFF HER"
Tyler booted the bigger guy in the side of his head, knocking him off the helpless girl. Fuji dragged the sobbing Shiro over to the door, as she radioed for MPS. Tyler however was not done with the bastard.
"get up"
The scarred student gave the order to the now panicking guy, who promptly followed the order, trying to explain himself as he did so.
"Look, I've been so kind to her, it's the least she could do to repay me. I earned the right to her bod-"
BANG! BANG! BANG! Tyler's Colt went of three times at the guys feet, regardless of the fact that they were in an Armory, surrounded by rather fire-sensitive boxes. Tyler was beyond caring as he put the fear of the Devil in the waste of a man. Tyler's gaze could've given an Antarctica night a cold chill. Leo backed away, trying to comprehend in his tiny brain the reality of what just happened. His eyes flickered over to the still sobbing Shiro who was cuddled into the Major's chest. Fuji had her katana drawn, and was glaring at the would-be rapist. Leo still couldn't see how he was in the wrong. He'd made her breakfast, he'd even done the dishes! Hell he'd even gone so far as to take some of his precious time to go see her in the hospital after her attack. In his warped mind, the fact she wouldn't sleep with him after all his perceived kindness was unthinkable. So why was this person, a fellow man at that, denying him his prize? Why would a man take the side of a woman over his fellow man? It just did not make sense to the tiny minded brute.
"why are you defending her against me, a fellow man? It's her place to please me after I do something, anything for her! You know its-"
"I said, GET UP. If I have to explain to you why this is wrong then I should do all the women on this campus a friggin favor and kill you now. Can I Fuji?"
"Why're you asking me for permission?"
"Because you still out rank me here. I can kill him now, but how is this normally handled?"
"Well, we'd end up killing him, the proof is irrefutable. If you don't kill him, Milo will herself. She has a particularly strong hatred for rapists and those who attempt it. So your call, Sargent."
"I'm not a rapist! She HAS to do her duty as a woman-
"Shut up, rapist" Bangggg
Tyler shot the bastard in the stomach, granting him a slow and painful death. Tyler then dragged his worthless carcass out of the Armory and tossed it into the hallway. Tyler then went over to the sobbing Shiro, and hugged her himself.
"Shhh, SHhh, He can't hurt you anymore. I made sure of it. It's okay your safe again."
"What happened here, Major?"
"Commander Milo, Tyler's instincts were on the mark on again. I'll explain."
Tyler slowly rocked the sobbing girl as the Major filled the Commander in as to the situation, and result. Leo was still bleeding out from his stomach, unable to speak, but desperately denying any wrongdoing with his eyes. Fuji finished explaining the story to Milo, before she pulled her own Revolver and emptied the cylinder into his stomach, increasing the pain factor, but not increasing his death rate. Tyler held the shaking blue-haired girl tightly against him, pressing her head into his chest, as the Commander reloaded and fired again. She kept it up until Leo stopped breathing.
"Take this trash outside and bury it. Don't bother with a marker. It doesn't deserve to rest with us."
"Yes Ma'am!"
The Mps dragged the corpse away for disposal, while Milo nodded at Tyler and took over comforting Shiro, who was just now starting to calm down. Tyler stood back up, and went to inspect the armory after he'd stupidly fired live rounds inside it. As he was triple checking everything for the third time, He heard his name. Milo was calling for him,
"Yes, Comman-" Slap!!!
"Negligent! I expect better from you Sargent!"
She'd slapped him in the face, and began screaming at him. He rubbed his cheek, as he waited for his chance to reply. When the irate woman paused for breath, he took his chance.
"I'm sorry I fired live rounds inside the Armory. That was stupid and will never happ-"
"Not that ya fuckin idiot! You hesitated to execute the bastard immediately! Never do that again! Understood?"
"Understood, Ma'am!"
with the exception of Shiro, everyone took a sharp intake of breath at Tyler' use of "Ma'am. Something to that point he had refused to do. even the Commander, irate as she was, picked up on that fact. She seemed to deflate, as his use of the honorific, so completely out of character for him brought her back to reality. She then sighed as she realized her own painful past had caused her to cross a line.
"Look, Tyler I'm sorr-"
"I get it."
There was no anger, or judgement in his voice.
"We all have baggage, or we wouldn't be here right?"
Milo and Fuji were stunned by his turn of phrase, then the two Officers just sighed.
"That we do, Tyler, Still I apologize for the slap. That much was uncalled for."
"Yeah, I was under the impression you thought I was Fuji for a minute there."
"Okay, NOW it's justified" slap!
"Feel better?"
"Much, thank you."
Shiro had calmed down, and even managed a little chuckle at the dirty minded idiot with a red cheek. She then tried to stand.
"Woah, easy there, let me help you up."
Tyler helped the shaken girl to her feet. Once on her feet, however, she threw herself into a full-on bear hug on Tyler. Nearly crushing his ribs in the process.
"Thank you again."
Her formerly arrogant voice, now a mere shy whisper. Tyler hugged her back and rubbed her blue hair with one hand.
"Anytime. Are you hurt?"
"No, you made it in time again. Oh why does this keep happening to me!?"
She seemed about to cry again, but Milo freed Tyler from her death hug, and took his place.
"Tyler, leave her to me. You can check on her later, You have preparations to start."
"Alright, Milo. Fuji, You coming or are you gonna stay with the commander?"
"I'll stay with her and Shiro. I figure the more girls around her the better."
"Alright, then. I'll go see Sherie and get an update on the fifty. I'll check in later."
Tyler then retrieved his M24 from where it had fallen, and headed off to Sherie's bunker. The walk over was rather peaceful. The early noon sunlight, beaming down on the gravel path. Tyler took his favorite route through a small tree grove. It was a tranquil site, with small hillocks here and there. He passed a bunch of first and second years on their way from either classes or the firing range. Oh yeah, that reminds me, Dani was on Sniper training today. I'll have to check out her class. I wonder how many actually pay attention to her lessons? I know I'd have trouble focusing on it has they're more interesting guns on her chest to learn about. Tyler chuckled at the thought of the busty blonde's rack. he'd earned a lot of smacks from Yuki for staring. llyia had a free day, and so he'd taken the opportunity to both spend some time with the Silvery Beauty, and polish his skills a little. Yuki was with First Sargent Maria, helping her with the squads ammunitions, snice the entire squad had a rather eccentric selection of ammo types, from Tyler's MKII taking 45-70 rounds, to Dani's 50cal.'s to Llyia's 300.lapua and 5.56 NATO's to again Dani's 7.62 rifle rounds. it was quite a diverse diet of lead. They seemed to love it though. Yuki especially, since after recovering from the battle she'd thought herself useless as a squad member. Sherie had done her own thing as was the usual. Tyler smiled widely at the thought of his close friends. Oohhh mannn, If my parents and schoolmates could see me now! walking around with loaded guns, leading a squad of the most beautiful girls! They would literally lose it. My classmates would call bullshit. My mother would piss off the Major, and probably get shot, My stepfather would be disappointed in the girls standards, my sister would get shot, by me or someone else. He smiled at just how far he'd come from being just a background shadow to leading war efforts. He shook his head as he reached Sherie's bunker. He used the special key she'd given him and entered through a concealed side door. He went down the stairs to the energetic boob-addict's workshop. Where he came upon a not-too-unusual sight. The moderately busty girl was leaning back into her chair, buckass naked, with a replica of the MI Garand he'd found for her, although modified for other reasons, and was slowly moving it in and out from between her slender legs. He could her moaning his name as she played. She seemed pretty close too, and he thought it rude to ruin her fun, and simply watched the playing girl. She continued for about five more minutes, before sliding the long object in a little faster then before and letting a loud moaning scream out. As she rode the waves of pleasure back to earth, Tyler tapped the wall with a knuckle.
"Looks like you're having fun!"
She literally fall over the chair backwards, screaming in pleasured surprise,
"whaaaa, Tyler! When'd you get here!"
Her face went red, as she realized what he must've seen and raced over to her little alcove, before throwing herself behind the curtain and hiding telling him to go away.
"Leave me alone. Pervert! what kinda a guy watches a girl play with herself with the poor girl unaware?"
Tyler chuckled as he went over and leaned against her hideout,
"A very flattered one, that's who. I was also just enjoying the show as well."
she squealed from within the cloth. She then poked her head out to yell at him, her face flushed from both embarrassment and pleasure, she was also panting a little.
"well the shows over! Go away!"
"well alright, If you want me to go, then I will"
"WAIT!! DON'T GO!!"
She practically tackled him from her little alcove. He turned with a fake-sigh
"Make up your mind, Shei, Do i go or do I stay?"
"STAY YOU STAY!"
"as you wish."
She then ducked back into her alcove and came back out with her open-front jacket on. She was still flushed, and still panting but otherwise herself. Tyler chuckled at the angry olive-skinned girl, as she marched over to the fallen chair, picked up her toy and threw it into her little cave.
"That for later?"
"I'm gonna shoot you I swear to god."
"no you won't you'd miss me too much."
"....Fuck you"
"later maybe"
"FUCK YOU!!!!"
"I said later!"
she then threw a pipe at the infuriating jackass, who got it and stopped teasing his pretty friend.
"glad you're in a good mood, Sherie. I just got an update form Milo."
"Oh, okay, what's the news?"
She was calm now, as her mood could change like a light switch. she was sitting back on the chair she'd fallen off of. her legs up to her chest, and her arms wrapped around her knees, and no she was not wearing underwear.
"we're getting a visit from both Wolfskrig, and Saint Aguste in three days. This is what we know..."
He spent the next ten minutes bringing Sherie up to speed with the situation. After he'd finished speaking Sherie laid her head on her knees, deep in thought. Finally, she started asking her questions,
"So I'm under your direct command and you'll choose my battle position? Do you know where it is, yet?"
"I have a few ideas as to where I want you. I'm thinking either on the lawn like last time, where I can keep am eye on you. Or as a machine gunner on the roof with me and the snipers. If I go that route, I'd like to put a heavy machinegun up there. Do you think that fifty could be ready for then?"
"Hmmm, No, I'm sorry, but I need to completely replace the firing pin and bolt, plus the feeder is fucked, and it needs a new barrel and tripod. I'm good, but I don't have the necessary parts or the time to make it happen."
"You're not good, you're the best. and don't you forget it!
"Aww, thanks! Anything else?"
"Well, if the fifty's out, I was hoping to put another gun up there anyway. I heard from Fuji that you might have an MG42 lying around."
"Actually I have two-"
"Can we use them? Please? Can I see them?"
Tyler had surged from his own chair to grab the startled girl by her shoulders as he gushed over the legendary machinegun. Sherie got over her jolt right quick as she came up with a grand plan.
"Let me goooo!"
"Oh sorry. The MG42 was is my favorite WW2 machinegun on the axis's side. I've always wanted to shoot one. Sorry for scaring you like that."
"Oh your fine and I get it."
She resumed her position on her chair, and just smiled at the eager boy. Tyler gulped.
"I'll let you use them, on one condition"
"And that would be?"
"You have to give me a full bodied massage after the battle...with both of us naked!"
Tyler went and leaned in close to the girls pretty face.
"Ohhh, I'd happily do that for free, but you got yourself a hot date! I hope you prepare your hot little body well!"
She squirmed with delight under his suddenly lustful stare. she then flew out of her chair and grabbed his hand, leading him to a rack over near the back of her shop. There were a pair of 42's hanging there. Tyler's eyes lit up at the sight of the two intimidating weapons. Sherie smiled at his evident excitement at two of her best finds. The beastly weapons were extremely well maintained. She went and undid the mounting locks and he reached for the one at chest level.
"Holy, fuckers heavy!"
He lifted the weapon down and turned it as he inspected it.
"I cannot wait to put these on the roof! Okay I have a few ideas on how to implement them. I'll check with the Major after this. I also need to check on Shiro and make sure she's okay."
Tyler replace the weapon on it's rack and returned to the desk, where Sherie asked hat happened to Shiro. She got teary eyed when she heard what happened.
"Ohh that poor girl, At least the assholes dead now so that's a plus. I'll give her a hug when I see her next."
"thanks Sher, I gotta head out. I need to check in with Dani and Llyia and give them a heads-up as well. Catchya later."
"Hey, why don't ya crash here tonight? Your apartment's still being worked on right? I got an extra bunk."
"Thanks, but I promised Llyia I'd crash at her place tonight. Have you asked Yuki? I'm sure she'd love to cuddle with you again."
"Aww really? Damn. sure I'll ask her, It'll be a girl party!"
"sounds like fun, well go easy on bedding that rifle barrel, I don't want you getting hurt!"
"Oh fuck off! It likes my attention I'll have you know!'
"Okay now I'm jealous! later!"
He left the affectionate pervy girl to her shop as he headed for the freshman's Sniper class. As he did, he got paged over his earpiece.
"Sargent Tyler, do you copy?"
"Sargent Tyler, go ahead Major."
"I'd like for you to report to Armory Room eight please, I understand there's a package waiting for you."
"A package you say? Understood, I'll check it out. Ohh and Heads-up, The fifty's out. Sherie can't have it ready in time for the battle."
"Shame that, well if she can't do it no one can,"
"That's what I said, but on the plus side, I got her permission to use both of her MG42's so I think that makes up for it."
"It certainly does, although I'm gonna wanna know what you promised her for her to let us use them."
"Well, I promised to give her a full-boded massage after the battle, with both of in the nude."
There was the sound of laughter from all on the line, Tyler chuckled too, afterwards Fuji came on again with a line for the highly embarrassed Sherie,
"Well, Sherie, you will have to tell us girls how it goes afterwards, sounds fair?"
"Absolutely, I'll use exacting details too."
Tyler was laughing at the exchange, when a small voice spoke a single line that sent everyone involved.
"I get seconds, understood?"
"of course you do Yuki."
Everyone lost it. Tyler and all his friends were laughing hard at the whole scenario. The laughter died down and the line went quiet, as everyone returned to their previous tasks. Tyler walked in silence, running down his checklist of things to prepare for the coming fight. As he was checking over he realized he'd missed something,
"Hey Fuji, real quick, but what's the weather forecast for Thursday?"
"Good question, um give me a second."
"Sure"
"Umm it says, sunny with a high of ninety-three, and about 10% humidity."
"Damn, that's gonna suck up there on that roof, I'd like to suggest we bring blankets to lay on, and you girls can wear bikinis if you want to tan a little while fighting."
"Good call, on both ideas, Though personally I think you just want to see us in bikinis regardless."
"I won't deny it. Hey, Llyia, are you gonna be okay with the sun?"
"I should be fine, I'll just have you put sun block on me before the battle starts."
"Sure, I mean I was gonna offer, but ya know...gotta at least pretend to be a gentleman sometimes."
The girls chuckled, then they started talking bikinis and swimwear and general. Tyler turned his comms down, as he wanted to be surprised by their choices.
"Hey, I'm gonna turn my comms down, don't want to ruin the surprise right?"
They ladies cackled again, this time with clear fondness for their dirty minded friend. Tyler continued heading to Armory room eight, curious what the package was, as he didn't remember ordering any knew equipment. Armory eight was actually near the campus community pool. The pool itself was roughly twice the size of a Olympic swimming pool and went twice as deep. Tyler's understand was, aside from recreational swimming, the pool was also used as a training ground for water-based ops and if you were just crazy enough, you could jump from the four story main hall's roof into the pool's deepest end without much effort. Tyler really wanted to try it, but swimming was not something he had any confidence in. note to self, ask one of the girls to teach me to swim. Tyler reached the Armory and went inside. There was a private checking ammo levels and marking which ones need resupply. Tyler approached the student and tapped him on the shoulder
"Hey buddy, I was told there was a package for Sargent Tyler? I'm here to collect"
The private pointed towards a corner,
"Over there sir. The large one with big red letters"
"Thanks,"
Tyler headed over and sure enough there was a large wooden crate, roughly half as tall as Tyler was himself. As he saw the box, something felt off, and he jumped the side as the Private came at him with a large KABAR Knife. Tyler, however was far more accustomed to being jumped from behind then the would-be assassin could have known. Tyler dodged the stab of the knife, and only then noticed the boys sleeves seemed a little long for the school. Tyler was pissed, and went on the attack. He swung his M24 off his shoulder and swung the heavy rifle like a bat, hitting boy in the knee, breaking it. As he crumpled to the floor, Tyler flipped the rifle around, and placed the muzzle of the barrel against his head, The newly captured boy's eyes grew wide as they pulled the bolt back, and slid a round into the breech.
"What school?"
His voice a terrifying growl, and his eyes harder then steel
"Wolfskrig"
"How many?"
"Just me,"
"Are you lying?"
"No I'm dead already."
The boys voice was full of fear, and was trembling under Tyler's gaze,
"Orders?"
"To observe your preparations, and if the chance came, assassinate a Sargent Tyler. that is all."
"Major Fujimara, answer."
His voice had not released it's bloodlust-filled intensity,
"What Sargen-"
"what's in the box?"
"Its a surpr_"
"WHAT'S IN THE BOX?"
Everyone on the comms line could physically feel the intensity in his voice, the major answered with a harsh tone,
"It's an M1 Garand and an L91 Sniper rifle with 12x/red dot sniper scope, ten thousand rounds off ammo, and a Katana from my own forge as a thank you for saving me and the Commander's lives. Now what's with the tone."
"Standby"
Tyler went and tore open the large crate, his comms left open for all to hear. Sure enough, there was everything the Major had said was there.
"Last question, What can you tell me of the Private doing a shell count in Armory Room 8?"
This time commander Milo answered,
"Sargent, there is no one on duty in that room today."
Tyler let out a audible breathe of relief,
"Major I apologize for my harshness, and I'd like to request prisoner transport. Seems that Wolfskrig came to pay a visit."
Tyler could feel the shock of the others even though there was silence. Finally the Major responded to his call.
"Major Fujimara inbound, ten students accompanying."
"Commander Milo responding, twenty Shooters inbound."
Tyler walked over to the crippled Sneaker, and kept his rifle trained on his forehead. The clearly-still-a-first year was trembling at the thought of his impending doom. Major Fujimara arrived first, with Milo right behind her. The room was surrounded as Tyler explained what had happened. After his explanation, he went and picked the katana from the wreckage of the crate. It was a beautiful weapon, three-and-a-half feet in length, a sliver scabbard and handle with a wolf's head along the handguard. He then walked over to the major who was directing the transport of the wounded Prisoner to sickbay. The students hurried off, and the Major faced Tyler.
"Thank you for the blade major. It's a beautiful weapon. Unfortunately I cannot accept this."
He held the weapon out to the shocked officer,
"I thought you had sent me into a trap, I instantly thought you had betrayed me. I didn't even hesitate to believe it. So I cannot in good conscience accept your blade, or your other gifts. I'm sorry"
Tyler had bowed before the Major, and held the weapon across his hands. Fuji and Milo, along with everyone in attendance were made extremely uncomfortable with the sight of the sergeant bowing to anyone, regardless of the reason. Fuji was the most uncomfortable, as she had come to depend on his fearless, unyielding strength. In a flash she understood why he'd been so harsh when their positions had been reversed, I get it now, my show of weakness, when he'd come to respect my strength so much, was just unacceptable. the same is here now. The resolute Major steeled her voice.
"Raise your head, sergeant, you do not bow to me or anyone else. You made a reasonable conclusion with the available information at the time. I would have thought the same thing. You once told me this very thing, now raise your head."
"What if Milo had sent you here? Would you have come to the same conclusion?"
The Major's breath caught in her throat at the question. At first she wa furious at the question, but then she took a step back. Milo had also picked up on it as well. So THATS his baggage, he wants to trust people with everything he is, and yet, is forever worried they'll stab him in the back the second he lets his guard down. He may flirt with Sherie and everyone else, but the second it gets serious, he stonewalls the hell out of the feelings, even at the cost of his own friends. He just can't take another serious betrayal, his heart can't handle it. I understand now. The major locked eyes with Milo, who nodded. Both of them dismissed the other troops. Once the three of them were alone the two ladies both hugged the startled boy between them.
"If Milo had sent me here, I'd believe she did not know about the ambush, and I'd hold to that until I had proof otherwise."
"The same goes for Fuji,"
"And if they did know about the ambush and set it up themselves? What would you do then?"
The girls hugged him tighter, feeling his scars through his shirt, and understanding his pain.
"If that was the case, I'd demand an explanation, then kill her."
"I would too."
"Somehow I doubt that. But okay."
He let out a long sigh that shook a little, which sent shivers down the two ladies' spines at the sight of the strongest person they knew nearly come apart at the seams in front of their eyes. Tyler let out another breath before hugging the ladies back.
"Thanks you two, I'm alright now. And fuji? I am sorry for doubting you."
The ladies stepped back so see the Tyler they both knew and loved back to his usual good humor and strength. They visibly relaxed.
"So an M1 Garand and an L91 sniper eh? heh, nice. Thanks major, I'll put the new sniper on the rack until I get to practice with it a little, so i won't be able to use it in the next battle. The Garand though, That I can use with my SCAR, MKII, M24, and the 42s. I'll Let Sherie play with it, and get it ready. I'm sure getting to play with my Garand will make her happy."
"Ha, I'm sure it will. I'll have the rounds placed on the roof tomorrow."
"Thanks, now then, do you know where Shiro is? I want to check up on her."
"yeah, she's in her new apartment at the Tower, F/4 I believe."
"Okay thanks. cya later."
Tyler picked up the Garand, as he was gonna pass Sherie's bunker on the way to the Tower, so two birds one stone. Plus he wanted her to check on his M24 for damage after breaking a knee with it. He reached her bunker and went right in. As he approached her bench, he saw sparks flying as she was welding a new tripod together. Tyler waited around for about five minutes until she lifted her mask to check her progress before disturbing her.
"Hey, there need a favor."
She looked up and saw him approach,
"Yeah sure what's up?"
"I'd like you to look over my M24 here, I got jumped in the armory and had to use it as a club."
Sherie's eyes grew wide at the news. Of course she'd been brought up to speed by the major, they all had. She had felt really bad for the scarred boy, after hearing what his own baggage was, and she felt tremendous respect for his strength to flirt with her the way he did. She took the rifle and laid down beside her,
"Sure thing, I'll take a look at after I finish this weld, did you need anything else?"
"Yeah, and I'm sorry i keep dumping stuff i your lap when you're busy but the major hooked me up with a Garand of my own, and I'd like you to get it battle ready."
"Ha, if you're the one asking, I don't mind. Besides it's not like I'm the only gunsmith on campus. There's like a hundred others. But I'll get your Garand up to snuff, don't you worry."
"Well, Sherie, in my book you ARE the only gunsmith on campus. Thanks for your help all the time."
She smiled at the complement, and didn't blush this time, as she knew this was true praise and a silent show of gratitude for her friendship. Tyler placed the Garand next her BAR patted her on the back and left her to her work. she sighed when she heard the door shut as he left her bunker.
'He tries so hard to be strong for us, hell I don't even think he realizes he does it anymore."
Tyler hurried off the see Shiro at the Tower. It was around four o clock in the afternoon, so the sun was about to start setting. He would be crashing at Llyia's apartment tonight and Yuki was gonna be with Sherie. The roommates apartment was being reworked into a squad quarters with room for all members of the Warwolves to live together if they wanted. Tyler had requested that they keep the teardrop shape of the apartment. He was excited to see it after it was done, but a little sad he wouldn't share a room with just Yuki anymore. He was thrilled to share an apartment with the beautiful girls, that much was true, but he'd miss the moments of intimacy between the pair of them. I'm gonna miss coming home and cuddling the cute little fox. He smiled at the memory as he stepped into the Tower elevator. The door closed and he pushed the button to take him to Shiro's floor. F/4, and what was it?
"hey, What room number is Shiro's again?"
"Ditz, 23"
"Thanks Yuki, you're awesome."
Tyler stepped of the elevator and walked along the carpeted floor to room 23. He knocked rather loudly,
"Hey, Shiro, It's Tyler. Just wanted to see how you're doing."
The door opened and a fuzzy blue-haired girl poked her face around to peer at the tall visitor.
"Hey, you came."
Her voice sounded tired as if she'd been sleeping.
"Did I wake you? I'm sorry if I did. I can come back if you want to go back to sleep."
She slid back inside the room, leaving the door opened for the boy to enter.
"It's okay, I just woke up is all. I'd appreciate the company."
Tyler walked in and removed his boots. He hadn't been inside this room yet so as he walked down the small hallway he peered around. The room was smaller the his and Yuki's room had been, and was more square and rectangular then the teardrop shape their room was. She had her own kitchenette on the right. It was clear from the size, that it was for a single person. she had a small bed set against the left hand wall, and resting on a rack on the right was Kar98K bolt-action rifle with 8x sniper scope. Tyler went over to take a closer look at the iconic weapon. The wooden furniture was a deep crimson, the metal a light blue, and there was a picture of a howling wolf engraved on the stock. beneath the rifle was her berretta.
"I ordered that rifle two days before the battle, it arrived on the same shipment that gave you your MKII."
Tyler turned to see Shiro wearing a light blue nightgown setting a tray with some tea on the coffee table in the center of the room. Tyler went and took a seat across form the girl in blue. She had also laid out a few cookies too.
"Thanks Shiro. How are you feeling?"
She trembled a little, but her voice was firm.
"I'm alright now. I guess I'm just relieved I don't have to come home to that anymore."
"I suppose it is a weight lifted off of you knowing he ain't coming back."
"It is don't get me wrong, but"
Here her voice trailed off. Tyler understood.
"You're worried what the next one will do right?"
"Yes, that's precisely what I'm worried about. Milo says she'll be more careful and give me a good one but..."
"You're still worried after how well the last one turned out."
"Yep."
Her voice, while firm, had trouble staying steady. Tyler glanced over at the Kar98K on the rack,
"Soo, you any good with that thing?"
She looked up, indignant and showing some of her firecracker personality at last,
"Ahh excuse me? I may not be Dani or Llyia but I can hold my own thank you very much. really the sheer nerve. I invite you into my home and this is how-"
"So wanna join my squad?"
She had been taking a drink of tea and when he said this she spit the whole of it right into his face in very stereotypical fashion. Tyler just sat there, spit tea dripping from his face, a look somewhere between disbelief and confusion on his face. If his face was a sign, the sign would read: AHHH did that just happen? Shiro looked mortified at her behavior, and rushed to grab a towel and dry off the boy who'd saved her life twice. Tyler just started laughing at the sheer ridiculousness of the whole scene. He started off chuckling before doubling over laughing so hard that tears were streaming down his face. Shiro just stood there with a towel, completely confused at this strange boy in her living room. Tyler finally managed to regain control of himself, and took the offered towel from a profusely apologizing Shiro. Tyler just waved her back to her seat.
"You want me to join the Warwolves? With the likes of the Major and Dani and Llyia? seriously? But I'm not that good! I was on the third defense line in the last battle! I only fired like five shots! Seriously I don't belong on such an elite squad."
Tyler chuckled at the flustered girl. Now that they could have a real discussion, she was shocked that he'd considered her for the squad. She felt honored, honored and touched.
"Sure, why not? I checked into your duties during the last fight, and you're training to be a medic right?"
"yes that's correct. I'm gonna be a Sniper/Medic so that I can respond better on the battlefield."
"Good answer. truth be told, we need a medic on our Squad. As it stands, Fuji and maria are our only medical personal. Fuji is a far better shooter then medic so putting her there would be just a waste. Maria is trained in basic battlefield first aid, but hats about it. What we need is a Pure medic, to take proper care of us during long engagements. Did you hear I was wounded in the last battle?"
"You were?! How?! When?! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine it wasn't that bad this time thankfully. I got spotted by a sniper and we traded shots, his grazed me here,"
He pointed to a small red groove on the side of his head. The scab had come off and now was a new scar to add to his collection.
"His was a graze, mine got him in the throat. As it was still the height of the fight, I couldn't fallback for bandaging, as Yuki was on ammo duty, and the others were busy shooting. So I'd like a decent medic on our squad in case of emergencies. And more importantly I want you."
Shiro leaned back in er chair. As she did so, Tyler noticed out of the blue for some reason, that the girl had a large chest and she wasn't wearing a bra. Maybe I'm TOO observant to these things She took another drink of her tea, before answering.
"You really want me to join your squad? Truly?"
"absolutely, I think you'd fit in really well with our dynamic, and plus your medical training is a plus. But the most important things are these: One I like you, my squad are friends first and teammates second, and Two: I trust you, that is paramount for my team. I need to be able to rely on you like I rely on my rifle to fire when I pull the trigger. And I know I can with you. So what do you say?"
"Well, I want to, but I need some details first."
"Sure"
"Okay, what is our duty? like will we go on missions and such? What bonuses do we get when we join a squad? Do we get special quarters?"
Tyler leaned back in his seat this time as he explained how his squad worked.
"Okay, lets start here. All my squad members have quarters in the squad room, our base of operations. We can all live together, or you can stay in your own apartment, choice is yours. If you choose the squad room, you still keep your apartment. My squad's job is to protect our home from threats. We report directly to Commander Milo. In essence this is her personal go-to squad. We each get an intercom so we are always connected. It's Milo's own channel, so it will never go down incase of blackout, and reaches all corners of the campus. You will get one free weapon for joining up, and Sherie will upgrade it for free once. Oh and I should warn you, Sherie is one of the nicest, sweetest people to be around. Only thing is she'll most likely pounce on you and grope the hell out of your boobs. It's kinda her thing, we all call her boob-addict. So there's that. We all love the fuck out of her though. Since your part of my squad, most of the campus will treat you like royalty for some odd friggin reason, and we get first dibs at all practice ranges and I heard pool privileges as well. Plus a decent pay increase. As far as missions go, we will be doing some yes, but not for a while, not until I see how we all work together and have more experience as a team. So whatcha think, You in?"
Shiro had put her hands over her breasts after hearing about the rambunctious Sherie's predilections towards cleavage, but also seemed intrigued as well. She still had some questions though.
"How are duties divided up?"
"well, our squad room is still being worked on, so that's still up in the air as far as domestic duties go, But on the battlefield it's rather simple. I am the squad leader/all rounder I go where I'm need most, Major Fuji is our second in command/medic/mid-long range shooter, Llyia and Dani are our long range shooters/antimaterial duo if it comes to that, Yuki and maria are our supply officers/medical staff, Sherie is our support gunner/squad gunsmith, and Commander Milo is our direct superior officer/supplementary squad member. we also try to help each other with our distinct skills and traits. If you ask nicely, I'm positive that they'd teach you anything about their skills. I'm currently training under both Dani and Llyia in the ways of the sniper. As far as busting each other's balls, that's on everyone. The chain of command is even more simple, it goes, Milo, me, Fuji, Llyia, Dani, Maria, Sheri, then Yuki. I want to keep it as simple as possible so there are no arguments at the worst time."
"If you're the one leading the squad....The yes, I'm in!"
Tyler smiled proudly at his new friend, he stood up and held out a comms unit he'd had in his pocket,
"Well then Shiro, take this and Introduce yourself to your new friends!"
She took the small buds and put them in her ears and switched them on, her blue hair fell covering them from sight.
"Hello? Can You hear me? I am private Shiro Sujimara, its a pleasure to meet all of you."
The replies were nearly instantaneous
"Welcome to the looney train Shiro, let's go crazy together!"
"Welcome Shiro, I look forward to working with you."
"Yaaaaaaay! New Boobies! er I mean New friend!"
"We know they mean the same thing to you Sherie! Anyways welcome Shiro, you picked a fine squad."
"Welcome friend."
"Yes welcome"
Shiro was overwhelmed by the sheer warmth being directed at her, she started to tear up with Joy at having made such a wonderful friend as Tyler. Tyler smiled at the emotional Blue-haired beauty.
"Hey, everyone lets welcome our new friend with our motto, Whatcha say?"
Shiro looked confused,
"Motto, We have a squad Motto?"
"yep ready everyone? I'll lead."
All seven voices joined as one to welcome the 8th,
"WHEN WE GET THE ENEMY IN OUR SIGHTS, MAY THE GODS HELP THEM!"
The seven voices roared back as one,
"FOR NOTHING ELSE CAN!!!"
Shiro was both moved and a little intimidated by the strength in the war cry. She blinked, and took a small step back.
"well, it's official now, Shiro welcome to the team."
He held out his hand and she shook it, happiness on her face. Tyler could hear the other girls chattering away to the new girl, namely Sherie trying to convince her to come visit her bunker so she can 'inspect' her guns. Tyler smiled at that future meeting, for Sherie was gonna love Shiro's large rack. After the welcome, Tyler had to excuse himself, as he had to check in with Dani before he went to see Llyia. He also briefed Shiro on the upcoming battle, which shocked her on how much more intel they got,
"well, It pays to have the Commander on speed dial ya know?"
Milo had laughed at that one. Shiro smiled, she knew she was not going to be alone ever again, not with this chatty bunch in her ear. Tyler left Shiro's place and headed for Dani's sniper tower. It was situated near the back of the campus, as it had the largest amount of open area for her to practice her extreme range sniping. He found the busty Russian with her M95 on the top of the three story tower....topless, because of course she was. She was scoped in hard on a far off target. Tyler picked up the spotter scope nearby and peered down range. He located her target, a four pound watermelon about 1500m out on a stump. He listened to her pull the heavy bolt back, and slam a round into the chamber, take a steadying breath, and he felt the impressive bang as she squeezed the trigger. The large round flew out, glowing like a red rocket, Tyler watched as it smashed into the watermelon dead center sending a large mist of red mist into the air.
"Hit! Bullseye! Must say, your fruit killing skills are remarkable."
"How bout I kill your melon?"
"Oh baby, I'd love it, oh you mean my skull? heh shame"
"Prick"
The topless blonde straightened up, and stretched, her own set of melons bouncing around like they had a life of their own. Tyler watched appreciatively. She then noticed him staring and without breaking eye contact put a white tank top on,
"Say bye"
"Bye, I'm sure I'll see you again soon."
The sexy blonde chuckled at the shamelessly cocky boy. She finished putting the tank top on, her large nipples pointing through the thin fabric.
"Hey, Sherie, You just missed quite the show up here."
"I HATE You, so mush right now!"
"Love you!"
Dani smiled at the ranting Sherie,
"Don't worry sweetie I'll come play with you for a while after this, how's that sound?"
"yyyaaaaaaaayyyy!!!"
Tyler grinned, feeling not the least bit left out.
"so what did you want me to practice today?"
They trained for bout two and a half hours, until the sun touched the horizon, when Llyia came to bring him to her Apartment. Tyler was scoped into Siberia's Bite, sighting his own watermelon target way out in the distance, about 1250m, not quite as far as Dani, but gradually increasing his distance/accuracy all the time. Llyia walked onto the top just in time to see Tyler chamber his last round of the evening, take a breath, and fire. She watched as the round flew out, and smashed into the watermelon, sending it's pieces everywhere.
"Hit, dead center, well done Tyler."
"Thanks Llyia. I think My shoulders numb from that nasty recoil though."
"That happens, you get used to it."
"Well, I'm sure your shoulders are always stiff tough, but I don't think the recoil has anything to do with it though!"
"Do you WANT to get smacked?"
The friends laughed, before Llyia reminded Tyler as to the reason of her presence.
"Tyler I'm heading to my apartment now, so if you'd please."
"sure thing llyia! Thanks for letting me crash at your place tonight. I gotta grab my bag though."
"Already got it, here."
She handed him his backpack that he'd loaded with his overnight gear. He slung it over his shoulder and followed the pale beauty from the tower.
"Good night you two! Try not to break her bed Tyler! And try not to break HER either! She's delicate."
"Yeah, unlike you! She's like a flower, your like a friggin curvy tree!"
"Fuck you!"
"Sorry I'm booked for the night! maybe next time!"
"I'm gonna shoot yo ass. I swear to god."
Tyler chuckled at the blonde. Llyia was shyly blushing at the dirty banter. She was wearing her usual Silver Uniform, and her silver hair simply glowed in the light of dusk, and the little bit of her pale skin, gave off a slight luminescence. They walked in silence for a while, then Llyia led him down the path that led him to the Tower. Tyler smiled at his shy friend, fondly remembering how well they'd slept in each other's arms after exposing their collection of scars to the group. The next morning they'd been resting their heads together, and holding hands, as if afraid of being seperated. They stepped into the elevator, and rode it to the top floor. She led him down to the left around the rotunda. She went to a door and opened it. She removed her boots, and Tyler followed suit. Her apartment was neat and tidy. Like the others it came equipped with a small kitchenette and island bar-like counter. Her walls were decorated with imagery of castles, nightscapes, and howling wolves. The carpets were thicker then the others, and was black. She had a black leather loveseat in front of a flatscreen TV, with an anime collection that dwarfed Tyler's own, and with his experienced eye, he picked out more then a few hentai titles mixed in. Her bed was a four poster queen, with a black curtain hanging from the bars of wood surrounding it. The thing that captured the majority of his curiosity was the grand piano set against her balcony window. Her rifles had a rack from circling to floor, and she had a rather impressive collection: Kalashnikovs, WWII snipers, soviet relics, and a few American pieces as well. She replaced her M24 onto its spot and turned to face her guest. A gust of wind came through the open window and blew her long silver hair across her back, granting the appearance of a silver cape. She looked breathtakingly beautiful. Tyler nodded over to the piano,
"You any good?"
she gave a little smile of pride,
"Take a seat and find out."
Tyler set his bag behind the loveseat and sat beside the Silver beauty as she stretched her fingers before setting them to the keys. what followed was the most beautiful music that had ever graced Tyler's ears. Her hands seemed to float over the keys, and the piano seemed to WANT to help the beautiful musician make him cry. The clear notes and clean sounds only grew that much more haunting when she starting singing. He didn't understand her words, nor did he recognize the language, but he didn't have to. Her already haunting voice, with its soft tones and whispery cadences took on an other worldly aspect when combined with music. He could have listened to her piano playing alone for hours. But he could have listened to her heartbreaking voice for YEARS. He actually teared up a little when she finished her song. He was so entranced by her music that she had to shake him to bring him back. He turned to face the now nervous girl, waiting for his verdict.
"Well? Did you like it?"
Tyler took a very shaky breath before replying with a voice drowning in emotion,
"Llyia, that was the single most beautiful thing I have ever had the honor to listen to. Thank you. You have the voice of an angel, and the piano skills of a master. I'm sorry but words cannot express how specular I thought that was. "
Her delicate feature lit up with a smile so pure and heartfelt that Tyler had to check that the sun really had gone down, it brightened the room so much. he had to wipe the tears from his face for a while after that. She seemed to dance throughout the apartment, her movements so fluid and full of grace. Tyler smiled as she flited about the room, as he laid out his sweatpants for the evening. He heard her drift over to the kitchen and start preparing food. As she did so, Tyler changed into his sweats, and went to check out her Anime/hentai collection. It was pretty extensive, with several hundred titles ranging from mainstream shonens, to hardcore tentacle-rape hentai. Girls got good tastes, I don't even recognize some of these, and some I DONT want to know. He was looking at the box art for a particularly explicit Yuri title, when he heard her give a little embarrassed squeak,
"Umm, It's not what you think< it's not porn!"
"It's art, I know, relax I'm a weeb too, although, I'm still a weeblet compared to your collection"
She breathed a sigh of relief to not be judged, and brought over their dinner, a large bowl of steaming broth with steaming hunks of meat, vegetables. There was also some toasted bread rolls, and some cookies for after. As Tyler set the Yuri Hentai back into it's slot, She shyly spoke up,
"Hey, you wanna watch that one together? It's one of my favorites"
Tyler smiled, and handed her the box.
"sure, fire her up!"
So the two friends sat next to each other, watching a hardcore Hentai involving an all girls school, in all it's uncensored glory, while eating bowls of broth, and trying to not start masturbating to the girls soft moans and groans. Tyler had though he'd stopped being surprised by the things this school had to offer, but here he was watching what basically devolved to Anime lesbian porn, with one of the most gorgeous girls he'd ever seen, in her apartment that he'd be sleeping in later, after her nearly making him cry like a baby with her angelic voice and heavenly piano playing. all with a bristling gun rack behind them. The first episode ended, and Tyler offered to do the dishes, which Llyia gratefully accepted, so with a very noticeable tent in his sweat pants, he took the dishes back and started cleaning them. While he was in the other room, Llyia changed into her night clothes. Tyler could hear the sound of rubbing fabric, and figured she was changing out of his sightline. He was a little disappointed, but let it slide, as he figured they'd probably share the bed. Or, he'd get to see her in a swimsuit during the upcoming battle. That was sure to be epic. He finished the dishes, and called out to double check,
"Hey, it save to enter the living room, Llyia?"
"Sure, come on in,"
He walked in, and stopped dead, for she was wearing a thin pair of bright red velvet panties, and nothing else, her pale skinned frame on display for all to see. He was shocked at how brazen she was, her skin was so pale, it reflected the light, giving her a soft glow, making her seem ethereal inside of flesh and blood human. Her breasts were large, and smooth, the same with her inner thighs, he also knew her firm butt cheeks were also as smooth as the day she was born. The rest of her body, from her neck down was covered in the same exact scars that crisscrossed his own body. They had suffered nearly the same exact fate, and now they had found each other in a place the world expected them both to die in. llyia had a slight blush on her face as she bared her true self to the only person she could. Tyler was awestruck at the sight of her. He removed his shirt, sowing off his own collection, and simply stated the words stamped across his face:
"You are so beautiful. I could stare at you forever."
She smiled and walked over to her painmate, and they embraced in the way only those who truly understood each other could. she then took him by the hand and led him to her bed. They lay beside each other, before cuddling as close together as they could. llyia pressed her head into the chest of the only other person in her world she could fully and completely reveal herself to. And he hugged the only other person on the planet that could ever truly understand his pain. They both drifted off into peaceful slumber, wrapped up in the other piece they had searched for so desperately for, but despaired of ever finding.
