Fan Fiction ❯ Special Unit: Last Hope ❯ Episode 2 ( Chapter 2 )
"Look at the pretty little monkey left here all alone. Maybe we should keep it some company." The two laughed continuing to poke her with their pens. She grabbed their hands squeezing till she felt the bones crack.
"This pretty little monkey would like it if you two ugly gorillas fucked off. Huh how does that sound?" She applied more pressure their hands becoming putty in her's. She was still blindfolded but she knew exactly who these two idiots were, they had just been hired to do blood work on her and hadn't learned the basic 'keep at least fifty feet away from Hazard's cage' rule. Someone else was coming up behind them so she released their hands both running away as soon as she did.
"I knew those two would get hurt. So how are you today my little Angel?"
"Go rot."
"Yes it is a lovely day. So anyway your last blood test shows increase in mutant cells. It seems you're evolving once again quite delightful isn't it?"
"Fuck you." She reached out to try and choke him but he grabbed her arm injecting something in while she tried to grab him with her other hand. She fell back in the cage looking up at the black ceiling of the enclosure then closing her eyes.
"You can take her now but I recommend you be very careful when she awakens she'll want to kill the first thing she sees." The man did not speak only stepped out of the shadows still covered from head to toe not giving away any of his appearance. The scientist wanted to laugh knowing the identity of this man, if people only knew. The man opened the cage and pulled Hazard out cradling her in his arms as she slept.
Episode 02: Rookie Force- Broken Girl
Ginryu was falling asleep again as the helicopter took off the noise from the engine causing him to jump. Samanta laughed then turned back to the front to pilot the chopper. Ginryu was sat in co-pilot's seat trying to keep from having a nervous breakdown, he hated flying so early in the morning.
"See that's the UPF Headquarters makes for easy travel." Ginryu's eyes went wide as he saw the floating steel ship, it looked like one of the battleships he'd seen frequently docked at the ocean front. Samanta landed in the helipad getting out quickly while Ginryu sat still amazed by the ship.
"Doesn't this way tons?"
"Yeah but it's designed with a special device that allows it to float up in the clouds and fly around. It usually just stays floating here since we have other crafts that are better for quick travel or aerial battle. This baby would get us killed if we tried to fight in it due to its massive size it's an easy target, the clouds keep it hidden so we move with the clouds." She was giving him the lowdown on everything as they walked inside the ship, everything looked to be much like a combat base inside not like the cabins of a ship. Ginryu had not noticed they were not alone anymore till he bumped into a girl who hissed at him.
"Who is she?" He pointed at the raven haired girl poised ready to strike with her short swords. She straightened looking like she might not attack and arrogantly stared at him.
"Could you guess the supposed dangerous Hazard? Do I really look that dangerous to you?," she put up one of her short swords placing it at his throat, "At this angle I suppose so."
"Real people person."
"Hm moron." She put her sword away sashaying to a chair then sitting with her legs crossed staring at him with a bit of a false smile.
"I'll excuse the fact that you're a super bitch since you look like walking sex especially in that hot leather." She got up growling and tried to attack him but Samanta stood between them.
"Ginryu! Hazard! Play nice!"
"Hazard that name is befitting cuz a body like yours is hazardous."
"Vaffanculo." She put her sword back in the sheathe at her side and sat herself down legs crossed hands folded on her knees.
"What the hell does that mean?"
"Screw yourself. So now that you."
"She told me to screw myself? What the fuck?! You better know I'm not objected to fighting a woman especially if she's a bitch which is all you seem to be!" Hazard didn't even flinch as he yelled in her face seeming to be a bit bored. He grabbed her arms shaking her and she closed her eyes for a second taking a deep breath.
"This is not going to be pretty."
"Huh? Ouch." Ginryu doubled over Hazard's leg still between his two the only reason he was still on his feet. Hazard patted his groin with her foot to add insult to injury then pulled it back letting Ginryu fall to the side. He whimpered like a dog who had just had his tail stepped on while holding his jewels.
"I have no objection to striking another woman either as I have just shown." He tried to comment on that but all that came out was a high pitched squeak.
~o~
"So it is that we need the two of you to find our hero force that disappeared yesterday morning." Ginryu sat with an ice pack on his groin glaring at Hazard who was actually paying attention to Jonahs' presentation. Samanta was sitting right next to where Jonahs had set up the projector staring at him all dreamy eyed.
"So these are the weapons UPF has and they'll be at our disposal?"
"Yes Hazard every weapon you see on the screen and much more are on this ship itself ready to be used at a moment's notice. You and Ginryu will both have access to them as soon as we insert the codes we set up for both of you into UPF's computer system. You'll able to use those codes all over the universe to get you all access. It's one of the perks of the job but please don't abuse it. If you abuse this privilege your code will be made void leaving you as a lower level agent, basically a dependant and we need everyone to be able to do lone missions."
"What the hell, everyone? There's only two of us!"
"I see your voice has regained it's normal pitch." Ginryu turned his head away crossed between embarrassment and total rage.
"Fuck you."
"No thanks why do that when so many men seem willing to do it for me?" He looked at her not really sure what to say now and she laughed seeming to delight in making him feel like an idiot.
"Are you sure this is going to work?" Samanta was looking a bit quizzically at the two not use to such strange behavior. Neither of the two seemed to hear them as both were now cursing in their heritage's languages, Ginryu Japanese, Hazard Italian.
"It'll work they just have to get use to each other."
"Che pezzo di stupido!" (What a jerk!) Hazard was now standing over a knocked out Ginryu hands on her hips. Samanta's smile faltered as she looked at Jonahs who seemed to look a bit worried. Samanta hooked her arm to Hazard's starting to walk away Hazard looking down at her as if she were about to hit her.
"You know this place has a nice little spa to relieve stress we should go down there. Better to release our stress without killing someone right?" Hazard didn't even say a word but let Samanta lead her away while Jonahs pulled Ginryu into a chair.
"Hopefully they won't kill each other."
~o~
"So what's your real name? I know it can't be Hazard." Samanta sat in the Jacuzzi while Hazard sat on the tile bank of it with her towel covering her front.
"Veronica." She toyed with the locket around her neck as she looked away from Samanta seeming to be deep in thought.
"Veronica, that's a really nice name."
"It was my mother's name."
"Oh. So."
"Stop trying to make conversation with me for it'll all end the same with me remembering my life is one giant load of crap." Samanta faltered for a moment but then just smiled at her.
"So then let's not talk about your life let's talk about. Ginryu?"
"I can't stand that guy. I rather sleep with a mutated lizard, have my body gnawed by poisonous insects, be buried alive and resurrected as a cockroach to be stepped on the first day back than be in the same room with Ginryu."
"The feelings mutual sweetheart." Ginryu fell back as a short sword passed by his head getting a few strands of his hair. Hazard stood with her other sword in one hand the other holding a towel to keep her covered.
"You possess no decency whatsoever coming in here knowing the sign outside says no clothing."
"That's what I planned on." He winked at Samanta who sunk deeper into the water, Hazard looked over at her seeing how uncomfortable she was with Ginryu's presence.
"Please leave for it really does not bother me much to be nude and if I must I will drop this towel to escort you out of here." She dropped her towel and stood ready to attack him but he made no move. Ginryu stood mesmerized by her body even as she charged at him her body slowly changing form. Ginryu jumped up grabbing onto one of the curtains and swinging himself onto a massage table to get away from the charging bull. He jumped onto her back as she came back to try and hit him. She reared back trying to throw him off but he hung onto her horns. Ginryu pulled on her tail causing her to squeal and change form, she was now a grizzly bear. Hazard turned onto her back, Ginryu jumping away when she did so unable to hold her down he tried running again. Hazard stood to her full height, in this form it was a good ten feet. She got down on all fours taking the form of a panther and pounced on Ginryu making him fall to the floor hurting his back.
"Nice kitty." She growled in his face making his hair fly back and he smiled nervously. Building up some courage he grabbed her forelegs and pushed her onto her back making her neck hit the hilt of the short sword she had dropped earlier. She changed for a second looking to have pale blue hair but then she was her usual self.
"Release me or su." He had silenced her by placing his open mouth over hers causing her eyes to open wide. She didn't move at all letting him kiss her, something she had never experienced before.
"They seem to be getting along." Hazard scrambled away as soon as Ginryu let go of her grabbing a towel to cover herself then dashing out of the room. Ginryu sat with a smile on his face.
"So why did you kiss her?"
"I thought she'd look even better if she was quiet and I was right." He stood up hands in his pockets and left the room whistling a happy little tune.
~o~
Ginryu was happy to be back home and away from Hazard.
"Décor's all off but it'll have to do." He spit out his soda at the sound of her voice. Ginryu wiped away his mouth as he stood up then slowly turned to face what he hoped wasn't there. Hazard smiled at him many shopping bags in her hands as she stood there.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"Well you are aware I've lived in a cage all my life?"
"Uh huh."
"I don't know anything about the world and have no skills that could get me a job so cannot make money to get a place to live so I'll be crashing with you."
"Oh hell no you won't!" He tried to push her out the door but she dropped her bags and slid under his legs. He closed his thighs tight trapping her hand between them as she had made a fist to try and hit his groin. He turned his head to give her a sly smile but she pushed her legs up closing her thighs on his neck. He grabbed her legs to try and pry her off but she only tightened her hold. Ginryu reached an arm back grabbing her hair in the process releasing the hold of his thighs on her arm. She wrapped her arms around his waist and placed her feet on his upper back kicking much like a donkey would sending him flying towards the wall. She flipped herself onto her feet expecting him to be out of the fight for a while but he came and grabbed her from behind. He pulled up her arms and dug his knee into the middle of her back bringing her down to her knees. She tried to hit him but couldn't catch him in the position they were in.
"Sporco parassita." (Filthy parasite)
"If you want to insult me it'd be nice if you used a language I understand."
"Baka."
"So you know Japanese?"
"Of course I do. I also know how to," she put her legs under his arms pulling herself up and slamming the back of her head onto the front of his, "kick your ass." He let her go to grab his head cringing as he stared at her from under his hand.
"What the hell is your head made of concrete?"
"So where will I be sleeping?" He stood up rubbing his head as he made his way to the couch.
"Hopefully outside. You are not staying here." She leaned down to be in front of his face as he was seated trying to get back to the TV show he had been watching.
"Who's going to stop me? You? I highly doubt that." She stepped away as he tried to grab her head but he only reached out with his other hand and pulled her onto his lap. Hazard didn't blush or flinch as he put his arms around her waist holding her as close as he could.
"Why don't you get embarrassed?"
"You don't seem to understand I'm a test subject." She folded up the sleeve of the white tee she wore showing him the mark branded into her wrist.
"What is this?"
"How I was identified. I can change my form but I can't get rid of any scars on my body. When I tried to run away they would just look at my wrist and when that backfired they put the symbol somewhere more noticeable." She pulled back all the hair that had fallen in front of her face showing him the scar on her forehead and two tattoos on her temples, V666.
"That's terrible."
"I've been on camera since I was in the womb so your little tactics don't embarrass me at all. Some may throw me off guard but find out if being seen naked will still embarrass you after an old scientist has tried to initiate assisted masturbation with you while a group of thirty watch." She got up leaving him sitting there unable to even speak. Hazard picked up her bags full of clothes that UPF had paid for. She searched the second floor of the house finding the last room in the hall to be an extra bedroom. Ginryu's room she had seen and it was not pretty tornado devastation for sure.
~o~
A scream rang through the house abruptly waking poor Ginryu who had been having the most marvelous dream with his own harem. The screaming had yet to cease so he got up following the sound down the hall. He opened the door to the final room in the hall looking in to see a girl he didn't recognize. Ginryu's breathe caught in his throat seeing the beauty on the bed thrashing as if she were trying to throw someone off. She shot up her eyes darting wildly then falling on him when the floor creaked under his feet. She got up running past him, when he looked out into the hall for her he saw it was Hazard.
"What the hell is going on?" He ran after her just in time to have the bathroom door slammed into his face. Ginryu banged on the door with his fists hearing things falling inside the bathroom.
"Go away!"
"What are you doing?!"
"No. nothing!" Her voice was pained and he knew right away she was hiding something. A cry of pain was followed by a loud thud and that was the last straw, he kicked down the door. Hazard was on the floor amongst all the items that had previously been in the cabinet over the sink, lying on the floor at her side as well. She was trying to get up but each time she would drop back onto the floor. Ginryu couldn't take seeing her like this, not liking even someone as annoying as her being in pain. He was about to help her up when wings came out from her back ripping the skin of her shoulder blades leaving her screaming. Blood dripped down her back as she arched up from the pain her entire body stiff.
"Hazard what's happening to you?!"
"Nothing. just go away," she tried again to get up but only fell flat on her face possibly breaking her nose Ginryu couldn't tell. The wings blocked Ginryu's way not allowing him to go check on her. He looked around frantically trying to find a way to get around her wings. Before he could take action she propped herself up with her hands and stretched her back the wings slowly sliding back in. She dropped onto the floor all her energy gone with the effort it took to rid herself of the wings. Ginryu pulled her up via an arm around her waist the blood that soaked her back not going unnoticed. Her feet dragged on the floor as he walked to his room grabbing the first aid kit on his way there. He sat her down on the floor making sure not to let her fall back by keeping a hand on her back. Hazard sat there as if she was numb not even caring that her shirt had been ripped to shreds and was barely covering her. He cleaned the two slashes on her back needing to use a towel to wipe away all the blood. She didn't even move or make a single noise as he poured alcohol on both wounds just continued to stare off into space. He bandaged both wounds and then turned her to face him checking to see if her nose was broken.
"Lucky it's not broken just bleeding a bit.," he turned her so he could pull her between his open legs with her back pressing to his front, "Lean your head back onto my shoulder." She didn't move so he did it for her and then put a tissue to her nose while pressing on the bridge of it. Ginryu didn't begin to feel uncomfortable with the position they were in till she put her hands on his thighs seeming to be unknowingly running them up and down his thighs.
"It was that Romeo and Juliet were from two different worlds, each a prince and princess in the eyes of their families but on opposing sides lower than scum. She was the gold that Midas wished for sealing his own fate but this Midas was the wretched Romeo that made the maiden swoon. All too soon their love comes to an end but never did it truly exist for had it the play would not have been so tragic." He was hanging on her every word trying to find the meaning behind something that didn't fit in the moment. He groaned as her hand found it's way to his groin erasing all rational thought from his mind.
"Why?" She turned her head slightly to the side seeming to look right through him.
"The question we all want answered, why. Why did they have to die? Why did life not allow them to love? For love is tragic for it makes you see things that are not there, feel things that don't exist and do things you never imagined you could do. But love is not real it's a figment of our imaginations. Something we simply made up so we would not have to spend our chaotic days alone. Something to justify the animalistic need we have to touch each other." She grabbed his wrist as he tried to caress her inner thigh and shook her head no.
"Why not?"
"Cut off from the world such sensations begin to mean nothing but for some reason still feeling like bringing them about in someone else. This is when you are broken, you know you are but you still pretend to be intact. Just let the broken girl do as she wishes." Ginryu stayed silent unable to speak as she continued to tease him with her hand. He placed a hand on the side of her head forcing her to arch her neck and face him. She was about to speak but he kissed her as he broke his wrist free from her grasp placing his hand on her flat stomach and sliding it lower. She moaned into his mouth and seemed to be ashamed for doing so pulling away from him quickly. Hazard stood up onto shakily legs staring at him as if she had just woken up from a far too vivid dream. Ginryu still sat on the floor panting, licking his lips still tasting her's on them. Hazard's hands were shaking as she ran them through her hair then used them to keep herself upright by sliding them against the wall. Ginryu stood up and she turned her head to look at him looking panicky. She ran out of the room tripping over the rug in the hall causing her to slide a few feet. She got up quickly and ran into her room slamming the door behind her Ginryu just standing in his doorway dumbfounded.
"Strangest girl I've ever met but still I want her bad." He resigned himself to taking a cold shower instead of trying to go into her room and getting his ass kicked.
