After the day of celebration and fun, it was the day of rest where nothing much happened, just simple conversations and rest.
The next day our team returns to duty and is greeted with a mission where the Commander wants them to go to the planet Aeronis where they must look for a camp of surviving enemy soldiers, and they must be resting, they are assigned to this mission in pairs Kael and Mikasa on the ground, Aria and Shiro keep watch and the location of the field.
Shiro asks looking at the commander:
-No offense Aria, but commander, why is she going with me to the mountain?
Upset commander:
-Shiro, if you're not happy, I can always fire you.
Shiro looks at the floor frustrated
-Well it looks like it will be like that then. When you have the target, let me know and I'll give you the rest of the details.
After finishing speaking, the commander turns his back and leaves, Takami looks at Shiro and says to him:
-Shiro, you know you shouldn't stand up to the commander.
Shiro, still frustrated, says:
-I know... I know...
So the four go to the ship preparing to leave, before leaving Takami asks:
-Did you check everything, nothing is missing?
The four respond:
-No, nothing is missing, we checked everything.
Takami:
-Okay then you can leave until next time, don't take any risks there.
The four:
-We'll be careful, don't worry.
Arriving on the planet Aeronis, they inform the commander and divide into the pairs designated Shiro and Aria, heading to the mountain and Kael and Mikasa slowly entering the ruins, hiding in the shadows waiting for Shiro to locate him. On the mountain Shiro and Aria don't waste time and start preparing things. Shiro prepares his sniper and warns Aria to watch his back and prepare healing spells as the situation can get ugly quickly.
And so it was done Mikasa and Kael hidden in the shadows, and Shiro and Aria on the mountain.
Shiro took 20 minutes to find a field and tells Kael and Mikasa to eavesdrop.
-Kael, Mikasa I think I found something, here on my compass I am the east point, what I found is at the north point is a green tent in a building with one half destroyed.
Kael and Mikasa approach to check, position themselves in a swimming building a little higher than the target and observe, describing to Shiro and Aria what they see.
They confirm that it is a half-destroyed building and that they see
on the third floor a green tent, Kael observes the ground and only sees debris and scattered stones, observing the walls and the rest Kael notices that some have some drawings on the walls and some papers on the floor, when informing Shiro of this, the Commander says:
-Go and see what is written there.
Kael:
-OK.
Then Kael and Mikasa move forward, but Shiro doesn't agree with this, thinking to himself:
(Why did this commander do this? We still haven't checked the defenses and surroundings.) Taking a deep breath (Let's hope everything is okay).
Kael and Mikasa arrive at the location and analyze the surroundings of the tent Kael sees the papers and realizes that it was a secret surveillance point for the enemy army and reanalyzes the surroundings again and realizes that the drawings on the wall appear to be fake because they are intact and supposedly There had been a war in this city and this point was one of those discovered by our army. Kael warns Mikasa of the possible ambush and they ask Shiro to check the buildings near them, Shiro looks but out of nowhere he hears a shot from the left side and sees Aria running towards him saying:
-Shiro be careful!
She luckily arrives in time and manages to divert Shiro from the bullet's trajectory, Shiro thanks Aria and locates the other sniper and eliminates him, he asks Kael and Mikasa to hide and look at the buildings around them to see if Some sniper comes and specifies:
-Inexperienced snipers will remove the cover in front of the scope and as it is daytime this will cause the sun to reflect on them, even if they are experienced or inexperienced this happens anyway so be careful, you never know when one fires.
Mikasa takes Kael to a half-destroyed wall in the right corner of the building and they observe, Kael, by putting his head out for 2 seconds, managed to get a bullet to pass close to his head and hide, Mikasa pulls him and warns him to be careful and to inform Shiro of their position.
Kael:
-Shiro in the left building behind us on the fourth floor there is a sniper.
Shiro looks over there and can't see him, he covered the window where Shiro is facing and asks Kael and Mikasa if anyone could get their hands out because even if they get shot we have Aria here. Kael, without thinking twice, puts his hand out and gets shot, but with that he managed to make the enemy put the sniper further out than normal with his hand out. Shiro managed to see where his head was and fired the shot. killing him.
Shiro can see some enemy troops advancing through the building's entrance and tells Kael and Mikasa to flee. Mikasa, worried and with nowhere to run, asks Kael:
-How are we going to do this?
Kael:
-It is forbidden to use my powers, right?
Mikasa:
-In this war you can only use them to load weapons.
Kael:
-What are the consequences of using it other than for weapons?
Mikasa:
-I don't know, but maybe the same as Riku.
Kael:
-Well it looks like we'll find out then.
Without Mikasa having time to respond, Kael uses Analyze and locates Shiro and Aria, then uses Teleportation to go to their location, with some of the evidence and plans that were on the ground. Once there Shiro looks at them and says take everything and let's hide quickly.
And they ran to a forest near the city and in a mountain they found a cave where they spent the night reading the papers that Kael had brought. Shiro asks:
-Kael, before talking about what you did back there, I want to ask you if that shot in the hand doesn't hurt?
Kael looks at his hand confused and remembers:
-Well, I was shot in the hand. Kael looks at his hand carefully and sees a small black cloud around the shot, ignoring it he asks Aria to heal him. While Aria heals him, Shiro asks him:
-Kael, did anyone see you using your powers back there?
Kael responds:
-No, I used Analysis to find you and I noticed there was no one around but I noticed the soldiers, there were 30 on the ground and in the buildings there was one in each direction except in front of us where you were but only one of them showed himself, the others weren't even looking. to us they were there for some reason, and the others were going up the stairs so no one saw me. And there was also a team below you on the mountain preparing an ambush.
Shiro looks at Kael and tells him:
-I'm glad we ran away in time then, but if no one saw you I have nothing more to say to you.
After the healing of Kael's hand, Mikasa called them for dinner. Everyone was hungry and the dinner was still hot. Kael tells Mikasa:
-This soup was really good.
Mikasa looks at him smiling:
-One day I'll teach you the recipe.
Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings.
Kael looks at her and smiles. Shiro tired says go let's go to sleep we have a day ahead tomorrow and on top of that you and Aria aren't adults yet so you have to rest well.
Kael smiles and Shiro says:
-For you two, we have those two sleeping bags there and I don't want any issues, Mikasa and I are going to sleep in these beds that I improvised with leaves and logs. Don't worry about us, we'll sleep well.
Kael and Aria thank them and head towards the sleeping bags. Shiro and Mikasa wait for them to fall asleep and when they do they take turns checking their surroundings and making sure there are no enemies nearby. But before that they reported to the commander and starting with Mikasa taking the first shift and Shiro going to sleep.
In the middle of the night Kael wakes up with the feeling that something is wrong and sees Mikasa sleeping and Shiro is not in the cave so he goes outside to see if he can find him. Taking a walk around the region he finds a cartridge of bullets with 4 still inside on the ground, Kael asks himself:
(But aren't weapons charged with the power of the person carrying them?)
Suddenly he hears a noise in the bushes to his left, uses Analysis and sees that it is Shiro and goes to him, taking the bushes out of the way. He sees Shiro lying on the ground with blood on the ground and injuries, Kael asks him:
-What happened?
Shiro responds with difficulty:
-Get out... "cough cough"... from here... "cough"... behind...
Kael looks back and sees a man in a green military suit, he was bald and had a cut mark on one side of his head, this man had a broken rifle on his back and a knife in his hand. Kael, looking a little scared, looks for courage and takes his knife. The man, upon seeing this, asks him:
-Do you want to fight? Don't you see the state of your friend behind you?
Kael doesn't respond and focuses on the enemy, he decides to advance slowly saying:
-Since you don't say anything, that means I can go ahead and kill you, right?
Kael continues to watch him and when he gets close enough Kael attacks him from the side where he has the knife and the man defends him with his forearm, now Kael has his right arm trapped with few options so he looks at the man and without him noticing Kael kicked him in the knee, taking him off, with that the man falls to the ground and supports himself with one hand on the ground, sending him a kick to Kael in the arm, pulling him away from him, with Kael far away The man puts his knee in place and says:
-No more jokes now, be honest.
After saying this, the man starts running towards Kael
Kael also runs towards him and when they are close enough Kael jumps and knees the man in the face, throwing him away and leaving him unconscious. Kael carefully went to check the man's body to check if he was still alive and if he was conscious. After checking everything he goes to Shiro and he says to him:
-I honestly wasn't expecting you to defeat him but he always thought they were having a knife fight and I accepted and lost... thinking about it I'm not like Renji, it was a good fight Kael.
Kael:
-Thank you, but now we have to go back to the cave.
Shiro:
-Yes.
Kael takes Shiro's arm and asks him if he can walk and Shiro answers yes then Kael puts his arm around his back and takes him back to the cave, getting there Mikasa and Aria were still sleeping so Kael wakes up Aria and asks her to go heal Shiro while he goes to wake up Mikasa and tell her what happened, with the situation resolved for their side Shiro says:
-Well it's now 5 in the morning we're all out of wires so let's investigate things for ourselves I think it's no longer safe to sleep now. Take the most important things and weapons and let's go, wiretaps and any other type of communication are left behind, Kael and Aria took the two of them with their necklaces and the weapons they already had in their uniform, Mikasa just takes the knives and some types of grenades, Shiro takes a small sniper and bullets, Kael takes the opportunity to ask Shiro:
-What is the difference between using a weapon with normal bullets and weapons that use power?
Shiro responds:
-You know, Analysis is not prohibited in this war but we usually choose not to use it. In this situation I think it's better not to take risks, you know, that's why we don't create weapons with our power.
Impressed Kael asks:
-Wow, is this possible?
Shiro responds:
-They never taught you? Kael nods no -I'll teach you when we get home. Now we have to get that body back.
Once there the body is missing, only the knife is left on the floor, Shiro suggests everyone start investigating the area but Kael says:
-No, he's there.
And Kael points to a tree and they all look at it and there he is the man that Kael had knocked unconscious,
Shiro tells Kael:
-You know, I'm not going to tell you anything, but you should have tied him to a tree or something, but it's okay, you're still a newbie, Kael.
The man on top of the tree says:
-So your name is Kael... Kael I have a challenge for you.
I want you to face me again, this time it breaks all the rules, I want to see how strong you are.
Kael asks:
-So you want me to use my powers?
The man responds:
-Yes, that's right Kael, let's have a little fun.
The man creates a knife with his power and prepares to battle Kael. Kael takes the knife from his suit and prepares himself. Shiro Mikasa and Aria move away from the place, Shiro hides in the shadows with the sniper in sight Mikasa and Aria are trying to hide her. The man knows what is going on there and looks sideways, smiling, but ignores it. He looks at Kael for the last time before saying:
-Are you really going to fight with that normal knife?
Kael, about to speak, hears a voice saying:
-Heats Up.
Kael is confused and looks around but sees nothing and the man asks:
-Kael, you know you shouldn't show your back, if I wanted to, I would have already killed you.
Kael thinks (heats up) and thinks about his knife then makes his power run through the knife thus heating it, leaving it with a red blade, the man smiles and says:
-Very well Kael, you quickly learn how to master weapons, let's fight.
And without almost finishing saying the sentence, the man starts running towards Kael at a completely different speed than before, so Kael, with fear, managed to defend the knife blade with blade, they both had their knives up, so Kael decides to send a punch to the man's stomach but he deflects it and elbows Kael, leaving him unconscious, at the same moment Shiro fires a bullet wrapped in his power, diverting the trajectory from the man's head to his chest when the bullet is almost reaching His arms defending his head, the man falls to the ground and they take Kael to the cave and spend the rest of the night there until he wakes up.
It's 7:47 am when Kael wakes up and asks what happened, Aria explains to him what happened and he says:
-Well at least everything is fine.
Shiro and Mikasa were packing their things plus Kael and Aria's, when they saw that Kael woke up Shiro asked him if he was okay and Aria said that she had probably treated all of Kael's injuries, so he tried to get up and Everything seemed fine, so Mikasa gave him the backpack with his things, each of them took the wires and left.
How will the second day of that mission go?
The fire is calm
a flower caught fire
far from everyone
will not be spread
