Saving Nekotamia Part One: Howls In The Night [hikachu/pein/that ahri lady]

lightning flashes bright, then fades away

The sound of the alarm beeping was still ringing in her ears, blue eyes fixed into the invisible screen in front of her where the red numbers of countdown were written. When it hit the mark zero, her heart made a sudden jump as if it would leap out of her throat. With trembling fingers, the pink haired woman fixed the belt around her body to secure herself from being thrown away, in case there was a faulty in the pod, although it was highly doubtful that it would occur. The words that laid sprawled on the screen indicated that the soldiers were about to drop the pods to the ground. One more beep. And, there we go. The gas from the pipes went loose as fumes of smoke were released before the pod was dropped through the tunnel and onto the ground. As soon as she was out of the tunnel, she could witness bombs flying into a distance, flares of fire being emitted, machine guns shooting consecutive bullets restlessly. Fire broke out just a few meters near her, causing her pod to shake harshly, as she twisted her head only to see one of the pods exploding due to the incoming attacks. ”Christ.” The woman cursed in dismay, gripping tightly onto the seatbelt that was wrapped around her body and silently praying not to get hit by any of the bombs or the bullets, or else it would cost her life.

Her pod landed with a thud on the ground, her eyes closed in case her pod was broken from the force and dust would enter her eyes. Upon landing safely, her fingers fumbled with the seatbelt and kicked the door open to allow herself out of the pod. Unfortunately, the door won’t budge even when she was kicking it open with her full strength. The pod was too tiny she could barely make any movements, otherwise she would have reached over her back to get her weapon and shoot down the door. ”Argh!” The woman grunted, her fist landing hard against the metallic door as she repeated the motion out of anger. How could she be stuck at this moment? This infuriated her more than anything and the only thing she was able to do was to wait until someone comes and break down the door or open it for her. Palms planted flat against the door she searched for anyone, especially Chelvaric, since she wanted to make sure he was alright on his own at the least. With her narrow vision, she could hardly make out anything in her sight apart from the fire and smoke. It appeared that a couple of pods were destroyed and almost all of them landed in different areas.

The door of her pod was finally unlocked and her indigo hues glanced upwards to see Chelvaric standing over her. ”Thank god, you’re safe.” She finally heaved out a sigh of relieve, grabbing firm of his hand and pulled herself up. ”Yeah, I couldn’t open the damn door.” She hissed out in frustration, kicking the pod away as she withdrew her launcher over her shoulder.

Dusting off her clothes, the Sabertooth guild master fixed her gloved hands before bowing slightly towards the solider that had defended them while Chelvaric was busy pulling her out of the pod. According to Chel’s plan, there was now a new person who would join to destroy the portal along with them. The woman ran her eyes over his features; from head to toe, and she could tell that this person would be reliable and trustworthy from the look of his. Blue orbs glided around the area, chaos surrounded them; fire breaking out from the pods, tents and almost everything you could see. Plumes of smoke and dust rose higher into the air, darkening the sky by a shade and spreading consternation among the masses of many half animal and humans that were struggling for their lives to fight for the country. Here they were; thrown into the basement, yet, no one had found out that there were intruders inside their zone of security. ”I think we should try to do something to not get noticed.” The woman pulled up her hood over her bright indigo pools and glanced around for one last time to ensure no one was trailing behind them.

”I’ll leave you to guide the way while I look for any incoming enemies.” The pink-haired lady motioned them forward by raising her chin into the direction they were supposed to go, while searching for any suspecting people, or rather, animals. Her crown briefly lifted up and down, indicating a nod towards them, as they would depart for their journey to the portal. Soon, they were in the hallways and the woman quietly reached over for the gun that she had carried on her back. Fingers clutching onto the handle so that she could easily withdraw the weapon the moment the enemies lunged onto them, her eyes and ears peeled out for any sounds and sight of incoming attacks, albeit, there was none. Despite how surprised she was, the woman continued to follow the lead of the soldier and Chelvaric who stood in front of her. The enemies apparently were oblivious to the fact that their opponent was invading their area already, which was definitely a positive sign. The mages turned a sharp corner, only to be greeted by a guard protecting the entrance, who seemed to be in a bicker with a different person, an angel to be precise. Unsure what to do, the woman exchanged glances between Chelvaric and the soldier. It appeared that he planned to sneak an attack onto them while the dog demon and the angel were in battle.

Unfortunately, the angel lost the argument, having the demon’s sword pierced through the young boy’s body. After the scene had finished, she fluttered her eyes closed and pity left her being, feeling sympathy for the poor boy. While the two of them were busy with the demon, Hika quickly approached to the entrance and entered the room, two angel scouts standing tall to protect another entrance. From the expressions of their faces, the angel scouts appeared to be aware of what happened to the dog demon. The pink line of her cupid-bow lips twitched at one end and rested a sly smile of amusement as she drew out her weapon over her back and placed it over her shoulder.

”Boom De Yada!”

Upon calling out the name, rockets were released out of the weapon, one after another, flying around the room and towards the two angel scouts before it exploded on them. Her vision was blurry from the smoke and the dust caused by the explosion, vivid blue pools peering through the hood that concealed half of her face.

A smirk radiated from her lips as the Sabertooth guild master placed her rocket launcher on her shoulders back again. The debris began to clear out from her vision as huge holes appeared into her sight on the walls behind. Shrugging it off, her attention was directed back to the two angel scouts. Wings fluttered behind them rapidly, pulling them back on their feet. As soon as they caught sight of Chelvaric entering the room, the angel scouts instantly charged straight towards him, leaping onto his body with their arms transformed into deadly blades. Stunned, she was confused as to why her enemies went for Chelvaric when she was the one who attacked them until a sudden realisation struck her; Chel was a half-cat, which was probably the reason why the pack of corrupted angels and dog demons would hunt him down.

The soldier that accompanied the Sabertooth mages reacted even faster than her, throwing himself over the incoming attack in front of Chel and protecting him, not to mention, his reflexes were fast too. A satisfied grin curved onto her lips as a hint of darkness spread through the air around them. It was no other than the corrupted angels. Utilising shadow magic, it was advantageous for them to travel easily since shadows were able to move at the fastest at the fastest speed, coming second after the speed light. Since the enemies were prevented from attacking Chel any further, it was apparent that they had changed targets. The angel scouts began to dash around her, looking for places to land a clear attack on her. The angel scouts were enemies that could be taken down with slight ease, however, she made a note to herself to not underestimate their capabilities for their appearances can be extremely deceptive. Bright blue orbs hidden under her hood, her eyes followed every movement the enemies made.

With her gloved hands charged with electricity, she kept it perfectly hidden under her cloak so that her enemies wouldn’t notice. The moment the dog demons launched themselves at her, she brought our her fist forward that was charged with immense amount of electricity and pummelled through one of the angel scouts, in his torso, sending electric shockwaves through his body. The other opponent attempted to slice off her cloak, but to no avail; the attack didn’t even leave a single scratch on her clothing. The blades slashed the other side of her body as a follow-up attack and she failed to defend herself this time, despite how she had reacted in time, the woman received a rather large cut along her arm. Blood dripped down from her injury as she glanced down at the cut on her arm. Anger began to well inside her, sapphire hues glowing brightly from fury as she grabbed the corrupted angel from the collar of its clothing and propelled him down onto the ground, causing it to form cracks from the force that was produced within her hands. As a final attack, the woman landed her fist against the demon’s left cheek, leaving him to lay unconscious.

Content with what she had done to the corrupted angels, the woman whirled away from the bodies and turned around to the direction of the door. Due to her rockets, the entrance door was ripped from its hinges, barely hanging from its wedges. ”Ah, well, sorry about that. Didn’t mean to do it.” A cheeky grin tugged the corner of her lips, her hand ruffling the back of her pink hair. Being so engaged into battling with her enemies earlier, she was not aware that they were now so close to being getting caught by those dog demons. ”It’s better if we get out fast.” Blue orbs glanced around the area hastily, eyes peeling out for any enemies that might approach them. It wouldn’t be hard to handle the demons, however, it would surely take some time and who knows, there is a possibility that they would fail the mission as well. Just the thought of it made her eyebrow twitch in annoyance.

Nodding at Chel’s instructions, the woman left her partner on destroying the portal while the soldier and her will distract any enemies that approaches them. Vents were located in the room they had just entered. It was a dead end and there was almost no choice but to use the vents as an escape. ”Be safe, alright? Also, make it fast. I don’t want to be stuck here for a long time.” The woman spoke her last words before they parted ways, silently whispering her prayers to the nameless gods above for the safety of Chel. She was sure he would be fine on his own but it could still be likely that danger would be ahead. For her, she knew she had the capabilities to blow up the whole basement, albeit, it would cost thousands of lives and she would prefer to go the harsh way, if needed. Fingers firmly placed on the corners of the metal bars of the vent, she peeled it off from its place and located it beside her. It was quite small, but sure enough, she would be able to fit in it. The woman glanced over to Chel for one last time before they parted ways as she pushed herself into the opening in front of her, crawling her way to the end of the path.

The light from the other end reached further into the barely lit vent, reminding her that the exit is just one reach of her hand. She clung onto the hope that this would all be over sooner or later, with victory on their side, despite how numerous lives have been killed, it would be worth it for they all had fought with bravery and confidence. Pushing the metal bars that were locked in the exiting hole, Hika crawled out of the vent and heaved out a sigh of relief, waiting for the soldier to exit the vent after her. A shadow loomed above her and the woman snapped her head around only to see an extremely tall guy with a twisted smile resting on his lips, eyes clear of ill intent.

The Sabertooth guild master raised her chin, sapphire orbs peering at the demon through her thick, dark eyelashes. Arms crossed over her broad chest, the woman let her eyes wander over his body, taking in his features. From his profounding appearance; bulky muscles protruding from his shoulders and limbs, he was a rather horrifying and appalling sight for her. Her mouth twisted into a disgusted sneer, her face cringing. It was surprising how he had no weapons on his body yet he was the leader of this whole pack of dog demons. While Chel was busy destroying the portal, they are responsible of taking care of this big guy and to distract him from interrupting Chel. She noticed how the leader kept exchanging looks between her and the portal. Hika would never let him pass through her or he would have to kill her. Eyes glanced over to Chel to make sure he was doing fine with the electronics, albeit, he appeared to be struggling slightly. Her brows furrowed immediately as panic began to rise within her, wondering if he would be able to destroy the portal.

The woman immediately directed her attention back to the general of the dog demons, ensuring that he was still there in position. ”Get away, you filthy humans. This is none of your business.” The dog cursed at her in dismay, only to bring a wicked grin on Hika’s face.


Folding her arms once again, the woman teased him, a soft chuckle escaping her lips which seemed to have angered him quite badly. A loud snarl left from his foul mouth as he latched out long strands of hair towards her, trying to push her away from her position. With her swift movements, the woman back flipped away from the strands of hair that tried to grasp hold of her and spoke, a hint of sarcasm in her tone, ”And, I don’t actually mind you killing me.”

The rose-haired woman was playing all of this so that Chelvaric would destroy the portal quicker, but it seems like he’s struggling with something. Perhaps some code. ”Tsk.” Her tongue clicked at the roof of her mouth, under her breath so that the dog demon would not hear her. The sound of the sirens blared through the whole area, almost deafening her ears. Her eyes widened, immediately twisted her head to Chel’s direction to see that the portal was ready. Due to the alarms beeping through the whole basement, almost all the soldiers entered the room, flocking around the three of them. Without any hesitation, the woman summoned a magic rune just underneath the general of the dog demons and made sure he was locked down onto the ground so that he was immobile. Summoning another magic circle with a few motions of her hands, a huge lighting serpent emerged from the magic circle and stood in front of all the enemies that were in the room, blocking their path, as if he understood what she was planning to do. A sly smile rested on the pink-line of her lips before she gently caressed the tough skin of the serpent and threw herself into the portal, right after Chel and the soldier.

The portal closed behind them, the white area they had just entered vanishing slowly before her eyes. Strangely enough, the three of them were floating, as if they were in space before a sudden force pushed them around, in weird motions and there was no way to resist the force, not even her. The Sabertooth guild master and her companions were thrown about, in mid-air, as if they were balls in the circus. Her vision was all muddled up, she could barely see straight, trying as hard as she could to maintain her balance. Soon, they landed on the ground with a thud and Hika fell flat on her bottom. Her vision was still blurry from the harsh journey they had just had as she placed two fingers on her temple and massaged it, shaking her head at the same time. ”..W-What was … that?” Her words were slurred from the dizziness she felt. The woman would blink her eyes rapidly and shake her head furiously until her sight was returned completely back to normal.

Indigo hues glided to the view below her, only to behold a sight of buildings sprawled out in front of her, among the vicinity of the huge town called nekotamia. It was as if they were all in the modern world; bright lights twinkling in the city, huge yet eccentric buildings towering above each other. The view was majestic above the mountain, variety of colours exploding everywhere from every corner of the building. The woman slowsly pushed herself on her feet with the help of Chelvaric, her eyes still glued to the landscape before her. Everything looked so technological, with machines and mechanics and all those scientific objects. No wonder Chel manipulates robots and other mechanical objects, the genes from the cats in this city was within him. The corners of her lips twitched up into a smile as her eyes crossed over the gaze of blue, fingers wrapping tightly around Chel’s hand. ”Mhm, I’m alright.” The woman nodded, reassuring her that she was as fine as she could be and dusted off her clothes. A slight chuckle escaped her lips once Chel spread his arms wide open towards the townscape and yelled out the name of the city.

Afterwards, Chel directed them to follow him, in which she did. The woman glanced over the city for a one last single look before they would disappear somewhere else, perhaps back to their guild now that the mission has been completed. This was one heck of a tiring day, yet she considered it as worth all the troubles they had been through for lastly, victory was in their hands and Chel's hometown was safe and sound. "Remember to take me back there if you're going back to the city." The woman spoke, rushing up to his side and slipping her hand down his arm while interlocking her fingers with his. Once they reach home, the Sabertooth guildmaster decided to make a huge feast for the both of them, as well as the Sabertooth guildmates, of course.
