Day 20: Uh Oh

"RYAN!" Ryan was thoroughly shocked to hear Amelia's voice instead of Kiara's that morning when he woke up to the phone.

"What's up?" Ryan asked. "I really need to head to work… wait… wasn't Kiara playing 'Call of Duty' with Calliope-san or something?"

"About that," Amelia said. "The MILF raid went south. They're holding Kiara hostage."

"WHAT?!" Ryan shot up, instantly awake He knew Kiara was off doing something stupid, but raiding a MILF base was just absurd. "What the hell happened?!"

"Apparently MILF has these new laser weapons or something," Amelia replied. "I don't know how it happened, but Kiara is being held hostage. I don't know where Calli went, but I need help."

"Fucking MILF," Ryan grumbled, his eyes burning with genuine rage. "Just when things were looking up."

"Remember that package I got you?" Amelia asked.

"Yeah, it's sitting unopened by the door," Ryan replied, remembering the "Emergencies Only" Christmas package Amelia got him. "What about it?"

"Open in and meet me at the location I'm sending you in thirty minutes," Amelia said before hanging up.

Thoroughly pissed off at the circumstances, Ryan got up and opened the gift wrapping on the package Amelia had got him. He saw a big, metal box with a "Watson Construction" label on the box. He unlatched the latches on the box and opened it. A wicked smile crossed his face. Finally, a good way to let off some stress.

-

"Like the present I got you?" Amelia smirked at Ryan as she loaded an assault rifle, chewing on a bullet casing.

"You look unintentionally badass," Ryan said as he looked at the twin fully automatic pistols in his pocket. He had to admit that it was a good Christmas gift, considering the circumstance.

"Who said it was unintentional?" Amelia held out her hand and two silencers willed themselves into existence with a faint, yellow glow. "Put these on. This is a stealth operation."

Ryan sighed. As much as he wanted to run in, guns blazing, he was a normal person. And these guys had laser weapons. Stealth was probably a good idea.

-

Somewhere in America, black mist started to form as Calli appeared in front of a graveyard. She looked down at a particular grave and sighed. She put a small, onyx knife by the grave and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry, Death-sensei, but I have to break the rules this time," she turned around. "No one fucks with my lover and lives to tell the tale."

-

"Sabrina," YAGOO said over the phone. Sabrina was sitting on the bed in her hotel when YAGOO called. "One of our units has been captured. Mori and I are preparing a rescue operation. We need more heavy hitters on our side."

"I guess I owe it to Ryan to save his boss's ass," she sighed. She already had an idea of what was going on and expected the call. "I'll be there in five."

-

"Yo, did you hear about Jerry?" Ronald, a MILF soldier asked his pal Jimmy.

"Yeah, some psycho took his pistol and killed him, apparently," Jimmy replied. "They didn't even leave a body."

"Yeah, we'll get that psycho one day," Ronald said, looking at his fancy new gun. "Especially with these new-fangled laser guns. That dude won't stand a-,"

He was cut off when a bullet pierced his skull. Jimmy turned around just in time for a bullet to hit his left eye.

"Dibs," Ryan grabbed one of the laser rifles off the corpses.

"So, you're already over this killing thing?" Amelia asked, examining the other rifle with a magnifying glass before summoning her own laser rifle.

"Well, they kidnapped my boss," Ryan replied. "Plus, they forfeit their lives when they took death's girlfriend hostage. I'm doing them a mercy at this point."

"Fair enough," Amelia sighed as she looked around, pointing at a door. "Kiara's magical signature is coming from that direction."

"Alright," Ryan said, watching the laser rifle power up. "Let's do this."

-

"Hey, little girl," Jeff walked up to the high schooler who was staring at the military base. "This is a top-secret military base. If you keep staring, I'll have to shoot you."

"I know," The girl replied with a smile. Jeff was a little unnerved by her response. When he says that, most people would turn away and this girl was the first person not to. When she moved a mask to her face, he saw the giant four and his expression immediately blanched. "Oh fu-,"

He was cut off when the girl finished putting on the mask, and a gigantic fire bird erupted from behind her, screeching at Jeff before diving at him, consuming him in flames.

"Sorry, it's nothing personal," Sabrina said. "Just kidding. No one threatens Edhas's friends and lives. Let's do this."

Two cloaked figures appeared behind her. Calli twirled her scythe, a dark aura emanating around her while YAGOO wore a brown cloak, holding a wooden staff, a silver orb floating above the top.

-

"These laser weapons are really cool," Ryan said, looking at a dead soldier with a giant molten hole in his head.

"Hey, Ryan," Amelia twirled a pistol. "I managed to make a laser pistol. Want one?"

"I'll take two," Ryan said before catching the two laser pistols Amelia threw him. When he caught them, the earth shook. "What the hell was that?"

"Calli and YAGOO probably made their move already," Amelia replied. "That's good. Most soldiers will now be focused on the frontal assault. Let's go. We don't want to waste this opportunity."

Ryan nodded and they snuck off.

-

"We need backup!" A MILF soldier was head shouting into a recorder. Unfortunately, he never got to finish his statement when he was beheaded by a giant scythe. "Fuck your friend!" Calli pulled out a recorder and blew into it, causing the spirit of the fallen soldier to rise out of his body and tear through his comrades.

As YAGOO was surrounded, he merely stamped his staff on the floor when three stone golems four times his size rose from the earth. "Do to them that they have done to my dreams," YAGOO commanded (AN: Yeah, blame the MILFs for your crushed dreams. On another note, HoloMILF gen 1 debut when?). The golems charged, crushing soldiers with their feet as one grabbed onto the cannon of a tank and lifted it, throwing it at the building.

With a flick of Sabrina's wand, lightning struck a mortar. As she waved her wand again, the electricity generated from the lightning jumped from soldier to soldier before latching itself onto the tank being launched to the building, causing it to explode, making a hole into the building. "Let's go."

-

Ryan's rage boiled when he heard his boss scream. "So, you heal, eh?" he heard a gruff man say. He then heard a gunshot and another scream.

"Fuck this," Ryan said.

"Ryan, wait!" Amelia whispered to him, but he wasn't listening. He grabbed a laser pistol and ran out, identifying the one with his gun pointed at Kiara and shot him in the temple.

"If you want my boss, then you have to go through me first," Ryan tossed the laser pistol behind him and took out the pistols that Amelia got him, unscrewing the silencers.

"Ryan! What the hell are you doing here?!" Kiara asked, the hole in her shoulder healing as flames danced around the wound.

"Oh, I'm just playing Call of Duty with Ame," Ryan shrugged. As if on cue, Amelia ran up and jumped, doing a flip before slamming the ground between, Kiara and the soldiers, creating a shockwave. As the soldiers fell over, Ryan jumped down, shooting each of them in the head.

"Consider the pound grounded," Amelia smirked as Ryan walked up to her. "Heads up, kid. There's more coming."

Ryan turned just in time to be shot through the shoulder. In any other sense, he would have screamed in pain, but the sheer adrenaline and rage kept him going. He screamed in rage and pain, tackling the soldier who shot him, struggling a bit before shooting him in the head. He stood up, his eyes burning as he dived to the side, dodging a hail of gunfire. The soldiers pointed their guns at him only to be shot down by a bunch of lasers. Ryan turned his head to see Amelia smirking back at him. At that time, the walls crashed down.

"Don't you dare hurt my wi-," Calli jumped though the hole in the wall, scythe at the ready. She stopped when she saw the scene in front of her.

"When's the wedding..?" Ryan coughed as the pain finally started to set in.

"What happen-, holy shit!" Yo-chan threw off her mask and ran towards Ryan. "What the fuck did you do, Ryan?!"

"Sabrina..?" Ryan looked at her as Sabrina started to heal his wounds. "I didn't know you were Yo-chan…"

"Shut up and let me focus," Sabrina glared at Ryan. "Why the hell did you come here anyways?"

"Hey, they kidnapped my boss," Ryan chuckled weakly. "Didn't you just tell me to shut up?"

"Yes, so shut up," Sabrina completely ignored Ryan's answer as the wounds started to close.

With no warning, everything went grey and froze. "It's been awhile Ryan," A hooded figure appeared before him. "Or should I call you Edhas?"

"I have no idea what the hell are you talking about," Ryan said honestly. He wasn't necessarily aggressive towards the figure, but he was wary. "Who are you anyways? What did you do?"

"They call me Zero," the cloaked figure replied. "You can call me Storm. I simply froze time so I can offer you something."

"Honestly, whatever the hell you can offer can wait till tomorrow," Ryan said.

"Very well. I guess some things never change," Storm sighed. As he vanished, color and motion returned to the world.

"What you did was completely badass," Amelia told Ryan, walking over to him as his wounds finished healing. "You are totally going to be the best man at my wedding."

"Cool, I guess," Ryan rubbed the back of his head, still trying to process what just happened. "When is that?"

"Tomorrow," Amelia deadpanned.

"Tomorrow?!" Ryan exclaimed before hacking up a coughing fit. "You need to give me a better warning in advance. I don't even have a suit."

"I can help with that," Sabina giggled.

"Well, I'll deal with it tomorrow," Ryan sighed. "For now, I need a nap."

-

"C'mon! We're almost there!" The familiar voice urged the woman. She could tell that whoever was carrying her was severely wounded.

"Who…" The woman asked.

"I'm a friend," The woman didn't fail to detect the dismay in the voice. For some reason, she couldn't detect who this person was, but then again, she couldn't even take in her surroundings. She was sure that when she recovered, she would know who was helping her.

"They're over there!" The woman heard a man shout. She heard the sound of a laser being fired followed by the screaming of the voice.

"I… can do this…" The voice said to herself. She heard a door click before swinging open. She stumbled inside whatever room the door led to before fading into unconsciousness.

-

"Ah, it's always hectic when Fubuki shows up," Roberu was cleaning the dishes after an eventful day at his bar. He sighed wistfully, looking at the pile of shattered glass he swept up not too long ago. "I miss the quieter days."

As he talked to himself, the door slammed open. He turned. "Sorry, but we're closed right now. How did you even activate-," he was cut off when he saw two familiar figures stumble into the bar, both heavily wounded.

"Civia?! Yogiri?!" He threw the glass aside, not caring about how it shattered on the floor as he vaulted over the counter to aid his two friends.

"Please…" Yogiri clutched a hole in her shoulder as blood leaked out of the gaping wound. "Help…"

Roberu caught the woman as she fell unconscious. He assessed the damage. Both girls were in critical condition. "This isn't good," he muttered to himself as he started to heal their wounds. "What kind of mess have you two gotten yourself into now?"
