Ch 335: Battle of Italica pt 1
"So any info while you were in the air?" Harriet asks Nia who's is doing checks on her plane wishing a member of the mechanics squad came with them.
"Nothing really, we got a good few of the south and flew in from the west and we didn't really see anything." Nia says
"They might sneak attack the east or north gate then." Harriet mutters
====================
"Harriet you should wake up." Luna says shaking Harriet
"Is it 3am?" Harriet asks
"No its 2:55, your instincts are almost as scary as my eyes." Luna says
"Ah, night attack on the east gate? Let's get going then." Harriet says sitting up.
"Rory? You coming?" Harriet asks
Rory looks at Itami.
"I was gonna wait till they requested backup." Itami says
"Yes but me and Rory are gonna feel a bit weird soon." Harriet says
"I thought you got it under control at atlas?" Luna says
"I did, but atlas had a lot less people." Harriet says knowing it's going to be a massive fight that has no place in modern warfare. After all atlas didn't have that many soldiers they mostly relied on their defunct robots.
"Nia!" Harriet shouts as she and Rory run off to join the battle.
"On it!" Nia shouts as the pilots start to get up.
"Sunrise 2 hours 40 minutes I expect the non night vision Faunus' to be in the air then. Other than that it's your discretion!" Harriet shouts knowing some of them can see perfectly in the dark while others can't.
===========================
Back at the dinner.
"Father could you tilt your head to the right real quickly." Kyra says to Ghira as he does so immediately for a bullet to wiz by his head. Kyra catches it before it hits the table.
The waitress delivering desert freaks out as the glass window shatters and the security detail begins to move in.
"Hmmm, a DBP88... cool, I guess China wanted to step in." Kyra says standing up chucking the round back out the window at super sonic speeds. A few hours later they will find the snipers body next to a window in the building 1 block down the road.
=================
As Harriet and Rory are running rather slowly Rory starts giggling.
Harriet giggles a little. "You should work on controlling that you know." Harriet says
"I'm sorry miss I'm a perfect death god." Rory says jokingly knowing Harriets personality.
"That's not fair do you know how many cups and door knobs I've destroyed." Harriet says in rebuttal.
The response to that is full blown laughter as Harriets Scythe extends as the arrive at the east gate to see the commander get slain.
"The enemy commander has been slain!" The person with the sword through the commanders chest shouts.
Harriet pulls up her hood and disappears. She didn't need to put the hood up but that's misdirection since she merged with the hollows.
"Now this is war! The murder and death that we sought at Arnus, which our fallen fellows never saw! We will kill the enemy, and then we shall
Die, satisfied!" Mean while Harriet had just arrived up on the city gate behind the guy giving the speech as she starts to dig through her bag of holding.
"That shall be our hymn to Emroy, the god of war!" The 70,000 or so soldiers in the gate and those wanting to get start banging their shields and cheering.
Rory licks her lips as a moan escapes.
"Here we have found our aaaahhh!" He screams as he has been pushed off the gate.
Suddenly a piano pops out of where he once stood as a red headed girl with a green cloak appears.
Harriet of course begins to play Giorno's theme.
The first arrow shot at Harriet does nothing.
Meanwhile Rory charges into battle with Harriet playing the music it almost seems like a dance instead of a small slaughter.
Once the good part starts you can hear the hum of the aircraft engines.
"What the hell is going on!" Pina's voice can be heard.
====================
Meanwhile a few minutes ago, back at the air field.
"Right, if we wanna make it back to Arnus we only have roughly 20 minutes of fighting time. Judging on the fact we know our planes can out maneuver the wyverns and shoot them down easily. I vote we go one or two at a time rather than all at once." Nia says a lot of the pilots nod.
Right, get your wing man and go then if you can see in the dark. I'm gonna stick around to last." Nia says
===============
Itami and his squad arrive with Luna in time to see the person who looks to be the enemy commander get pushed off the gate.
"Is she actually?" Itami asks
"She goes weird when a lot of deaths are happening. It's an issue with her semblance. We have a great uncle who gives people bad luck." Luna says coming up with an excuse.
