Abomination Contract Loving The Enemy

His scream resonates through the halls towards the full of security building like a bullet ricocheting against walls, and in a moment the room outside is already full of people that soon enough bang at the door and shout, smelling of gunpowder and clacking with guns. 

At the same time that I'm fighting Sean, Asher turns to secure the door, locking it before the others can arrive and pushing things over, but is clear that it won't last long.

I do my part, dancing at this crazy party Sean invited us to, adding brawls and kicks as he dashes about in between the furniture as I too dodge his shots as he laughs away, clearly having a lot of fun with the situation he put us in plus the cat and mouse chase he is playing with me around the big office.

Little slippery fuck!

"What is it so funny?!" I scream back, annoyed by his smug laughing self, at the same moment that he ducks  my attack and makes my talons crush against the aquarium right behind him, crashing the fragile glass to smithereens, blowing the water and fishes out with the pressure.

Water hits us both in the face, drenching us in an instant, and yet that smile never leaves his face.

"Because this is too much fun, ha! You two are doomed, doomed! Traitor of the Citadel, how fun! That's what you get! Hahaha!" Smug fucker! With renewed anger and strength I manage to land a solid hit on his side by using my so far hidden tail to surprise attack him, and only having enough time to widen his eyes Sean takes the hit at full blast and is thrown back towards the bookshelves on top, quickly being surrounded by books and falling bookshelves. 

And yet I have no time to savor that small victory nor enjoy the silence I put him on when Asher calls me.

"Abomination, we got to go, now!" I hear him say in the back as I, even while battling, can sense that we are quickly being surrounded and that I bet the last thing Asher would want is for us to end up killing the soldiers outside, Wilraine or not.

But looking at the situation as is, I don't think he will have much of a choice for long. 

Things go down south way too fast for us to sit and plan things up, so with only the options of running away or killing half the guards of this city, I can already tell what which Asher is going for even before exchanging glances.

Tsk, freaking troublesome guy, why show such restrain at those who could not care less if you are dead or not? Is not like Asher has undying loyalty to the citadel, in fact, I'm not sure why he does what he does really, having the chance to serve both nations but choosing none.

And yet, at times like this, he still chooses the most bothersome choice! Why not try to save both nations while you at it?!

"Seiji!"

"Yeah yeah!" I answer, annoyed already, the moment the front door explodes open, four guys carrying some sort of long metal loge forced the entrance open, and as if time has slowed down my eyes boil red and my three pupils narrow into focus, a much bigger field of view appearing with my abnormal vision, making me capture the other soldiers that came right behind the ones opening the door, sparks coming up within the dust, a chaotic mess.

And there is only one way out of it… pacifically that is.

And that involves having to expose myself.

But like I said, no time to think, only to act, so that's just what I do, I dash forward while stretching my arm, grabbing Asher by the waist, and rushing down the enormous window.

"Hey, you there, stop!"

"They are escaping, shot them, shot!"

The moment the guards are able to see us and shout, raising their guns in the air, we crash and shatter the translucent window glass, and as our feet leave the  floor I hug the stubborn human with my arms and shield him from sharp glass and wind, for a moment been able to see these hundreds of tiny shards reflecting the moonlight back into his cold eyes, almost melting part of that frost away.

Then we fall down from the tallest building around.

Times fastens up with the picking up wind, and as we approach the ground floor I notice that something is wrong even before landing, but by now even I don't have a choice but to hit the floor, muscles bulging and stretching the clothes until they rip, a pair of new strong arms appearing to stabilize Asher, and two strong and thick legs bending like animal hind limbs that easily take the hit and crack the floor when we land.

But I do not dash out within the cover of the dust as I thought I would initially, a meager attempt to still hide my identity, for the situation down here seems even more complex, and I have but a moment to enjoy the strength of my other body because we are not alone down here.

And I'm not talking about the two guards that remained to protect the entrance since most security rushed up above, no, I'm talking about the ones in the shadows carrying guns with them.

Seems like we put ourselves into a bigger problem.

To add to the chaos, as people around us saw my huge scaled figure standing tall among the dust, they scream and run away, some even crying and wobbling, but my gaze does not leave the area those armed humans are, especially when one of them steps forward after having the two scared guards shot down for good by his comrades.

I growl when the man comes to view, advancing towards us without a care as his men move up towards the building we just left, guns in hand meaning business, but as Asher manages to climb on my back and have a better view of the man bellow I can feel him tense up as he says:

"Hirose Atsutane, what business The Nameless have here?" And as I try to remember who they are, the man simply smiles and says:

"You would be surprised, Captain Murray."
