Putting a brat in her place.

...

rapi and varakiel walks outside the dormitory.

Rapi: how long can we survive in such a desolate place?....i actually wanted to say something else earlier…but your answer made me doubt…but….i'd like to make it clear that we nikkes are not humans. We are weapons. formidable and unkillable weapons meant for dispatching mankind's sworn enemy, the raptures. It's common practice for a nikke to come back with a new appearance after being severely damaged so you can wipe that look off your face…..Varakiel…can you…answer me again? What do you see us as? 

Varakiel: To me, living beings, be it humans, a machine, a monster, a weapon, to me all of you are alive, you can cry, you can feel anger, you can destroy…

Rapi:.....

Varakiel: But also, you can bring hope, you can protect, you bring peace, you can build…

Varakiel walks to rapi…

Varakiel: this is my deepest secret, i am varakiel fateburn i come from another world, my objective is to bring back to this world that what it has lost, hope…..but i can't do that alone, hope is something you build with trust of your companions, your friends, your family, i want to give hope to nikkes, if humans hate you i won't, you are humanity last hope but who gives you hope? i want to be that someone, rapi help me build a future, a future for nikkes, a future for humanity, a future for hope.

Rapi: from another world…..as god finally heard humanity prayers? I know something like that can´t be done by humanity nor by raptures…

Varakiel: Hehe, you could say that I am the last hope of this world, so?

Rapi: varakiel fateburn…..i don't why but that name seems to describe everything about you very well….okay, commander, i'll help…to build the future, a future where hope exists.

Varakiel: thank you rapi..

Varakiel extends his hand to rapi.

Varakiel: It's great to work with you.

Rapi:...likewise.

Rapi and varakiel shakes hands….

Gained the title [The Star of Hope]

Rapi:.....you realize that this world might be different than yours and you might get hurt in the end right?

Varakiel: I have withstood a billion years of pain, all to protect those I love, if I have to get hurt to protect all of you, so be it.

Rapi:....the longer you stay with us, the more you will view us as some kind of "other"

Varakiel: To me all living beings are the same like I said before, there's not true good and evil, there's dreams and ambition, and nikkes are no different…

Rapi: I hope you can keep what I said in mind.

Varakiel: don't worry, I won't haha.

Rapi: you truly are different….it's getting late, let's go to bed

Varakiel: Alright so see you later rapi.

Rapi:....see you later commander.

....

Varakiel: *yawn* it's been a long day, but there's still plenty of time, hmmm… so first.

*Beep*

Varakiel: hm? a message who might be?

the sender was andersen..

Varakiel: hm.

—

Andersen: How are you finding the outpost?

Varakiel: Honestly it's impressive, are you sure you want to lend me all this land?

Andersen: Well, I could care less what you think. it's going to be your home for the foreseeable future regardless. you can take advantage of the fact that the ark has no jurisdiction over there. commanders typically don't fraternize with the nikkes unless they're on a mission. but things are different at the outpost. after getting close to the nikkes. you'll find it's easier to look after them. so don't think of it as a bad thing. you know what they say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade! goodbye.

—

Varakiel: haha, if i didn't know better i would say he's a tsundere.

Varakiel then stands up and walks out of his room.

Varakiel: First we need to clean this whole place so….

Varakiel walks to the lobby of the dormitory.

...

Varakiel: mhm, this place should do.

Varakiel was in the middle of the lobby.

Anis: uh? commander? What are you doing here?

anis who was on her pajamas notices varakiel in the lobby.

Varakiel: Well, I was going to clean up this whole place using magic.

Anis: magic can do that?

Varakiel: anis, is magic, magic can do anything.

Anis:....well i am sorry mr. magic man, so what are you waiting for? show me.

Varakiel: mhm….*inhales*

[Clean World]

Varakiel then put his hands on the floor.

Then, like rewinding time the place goes back like it was first built, even the destroyed parts and the clogged bathrooms are fixed.

Varakiel: mhm, that should do it, but the issue with the water will have to wait for a while, then see you tomorrow anis, have sweet dreams~.

Varakiel then goes back to his room.

Anis:...i'll get surprised tomorrow…*yawn*

…..

The next day. early in the morning

Rapi was in front of varakiel bedroom

*knock* *knock*

Rapi: commander, may I come in?

… no response.

Rapi: commander? Are you still sleeping?

*knock* *knock*

…

Rapi: Excuse me then…

*Click* *thud*

varakiel was not on his room.

Rapi: Now that's weird, where is the commander?

rapi notices a note on the table.

"rapi i went to scavenge for today's breakfast PD: wake up anis and neon for me please~"

Rapi: *sigh* What a great time to leave when we have guests…

…..

Rapi: the commander isn't here, he's currently outside the outpost.

???: what? the hell is he doing out there? ugh!

Rapi: he's currently scavenging supplies.

???: who the hell does he think he is? making me wait for so long.

*cling* 

then the bell from the dormitory room sounds.

Varakiel: I am back rapi and uh….

Rapi: welcome back commander….we have guests….

???: What took you so long! don't you know it's rude to keep guests waiting? you think i've got nothing better to do than sit around waiting for you?

Varakiel:.....rapi please take these to the kitchen and clean them up, for the meat can you please cut it down in cubes, also is anis and neon awake?

Rapi: commander….i think you should pay attention to this individual…she's the CEO of Missilis….

Varakiel: I see... .then after cutting it down on cubes please, use half a liter of water to clean up the vegetables if they didn't completely rinse and repeat.

???: oh? you really have the nerve to ignore me? you don't know who i am?

Varakiel: Syuen, CEO of missilis, i know as much. yeah.

Syuen: What kind of attitude is that, what kind of rubbish is the military academy producing these days? didn't they teach you anything over there? Hey you, the one in white.

Neon: huh? me?

Varakiel:.....(i see how she is, let's give her at least 3 mistakes.)

Syuen: yeah, you. tell him who i am.

Rapi:....

Neon: this is syuen, CEO of Missilis industry, one of the big three.

Syuen: you starting to get the picture now?

Varakiel: (she is much like a chihuahua…) I see, hm…I have a question, do you know anything about the corruption about the nikke marian?

Syuen:...what?

Varakiel: marian the nikke from silver gun squad was corrupted while inside the ark, anything you can tell me about that?

Syuen:...you've got me all wrong, my friend. yuni.

Yuni: yes

a pink haired loli speaks.

Syuen: get them on their knees.

Yuni: yes.

Yuni sadistically responds.

A light flashes through Yuni's hand.

*Sizzle*

the light hits varakiel.

Rapi: commander!!

Varakiel:...¿? Was that a lighting massage?

Rapi:...(right, he's not normal in any sense…)

Anis: *chuckle* (hahahaha!)

Neon:....(master is so cool~!)

Yuni:....

*sizzle*

and another one.

Varakiel:.....

Syuen: yuni what are you doing!?

Yuni: I don't know, I hit him with enough power to take anyone down.

Syuen: Well then use more power, you're embarrassing me here!

Yuni:....please fall down.

Varakiel:.....

*BIRIRI*

then the light hit varakiel again

varakiel then kneels on the ground

Rapi: commander!!

Varakiel takes a look at rapi signaling to not interfere.

Rapi:....

Syuen: Finally I don't know what kind of trick you pulled but in front of me everyone should kneel.

Syuen slowly lifts her feet. and was about to stomp on varakiel…..

Varakiel:...

Syuen suddenly stops….something told her, deep in her mind, that she shouldn't do that no matter what.

Syuen: *tch* do not look at me like that you plebeian, this is what you get for not knowing your place. you ought to show the proper respect when you talk to me! Also, don't ever ask me a question like that ever again, capiche?

Varakiel: heh, why so? because you don't know shit about what is happening in the ark despite being a CEO?

Syuen: looks like we've got ourselves a tough one. hey. 

*Bam*

-1

Syuen: Do you think…

*bam* 

Syuen: I was…

*Bam*

Syuen: kidding?

*bam*

-4

Syuen: hmm? answer me!

*Click Click Click*

Rapi, anis and neon take out their guns

Syuen: haha, not bad!

Rapi: stay away from the commander.

Anis: no, don't stop her. Let's see if her foot is faster than my bullets.

Varakiel: anis, girl, I love your worries but you use a damn grenade launcher!

Anis:...true.

Anis then puts down the grenade launcher and takes out a pistol…

Syuen: oh? you still have the guts to joke around? Mihara.

Mihara: yes, ma'am

a blue laser is emitted from Mihara.

Rapi:....?

Mihara: switch complete.

Syuen takes a pistol from her arms.

and aims at mihara's abdomen.

*bang*

Mihara:...

Rapi:!!

Neon: ugh!

Anis: what's going on! It hurts so bad!

Syuen: pretty cool, huh? Mihara switched her senses with yours.

Varakiel:…

Syuen: your pain sensors have automatically been activated…that's why…

*bang bang bang*

Rapi: ugh!

Anis: uh…ahhh!

Neon: what is….this…!

Syuen: this….is what happens when you mess with me.

Varakiel: 5 minutes..

Syuen: any nikke who points a gun at a human should be put to death. but we'll stop here for now.

Varakiel: I give you 5 minutes to finish or else.

Syuen: haha. staring at me like that isn't going to do you any good. All right, let's cut to the chase. all of you are going to follow wardress up to the surface. wardress is a squad consisting of mihara and yuni. you also have a squad name, right? counters, or something like that? Well, wardress is the same. anyway, you're going to go above ground and capture a rapture for me. any questions, ask them. you have two days. Am I clear?

Varakiel: give a reason to do a single thing you ask.

Syuen: nothing is getting through that thick skull of yours, is it? Do you realize that the CEOs of the big three have the same authority as deputy chiefs? do as i say, or you'll end up frying in the electric chair. like i said, two days.

Syuen turns around and walks away.

Varakiel: and you think i'll let you go like that? after hurting my squad?

Varakiel then stands up like nothing happened.

Varakiel: I gave you three chances to show me that you're worth the trouble.

Varakiel slowly walks to Syuen.

Syuen: what?

Varakiel: apologize.

Syuen:.....you just don't learn…mihara, switch with them.

Mihara: But they're human!

Syuen: I said switch!

Mihara: …yes, ma'am…

another blue laser is emitted from mihara.

Syuen: haven't had enough, is that it? Well then, how about this?

Syuen points her gun at mihara's abdomen.

*Bang*

Varakiel: Was that all?

Syuen:....what?

*tap* *tap* *tap*

Syuen: mihara!

Mihara; the switch is still on, ma´am 

Syuen: Then why.

Varakiel: surprised? why should be

*tap* *tap* *tap*

*bang* 

Syuen: What are you doing?

Varakiel: nikkes receive worse injuries than this.

*bang*

Syuen: What are you…

Varakiel: as a commander if I can't withstand this simple pain.

*bang*

Syuen: don't come any closer! Stay back!

Varakiel: how I will understand how they feel, all the pain they have suffered through all these years.

*bang bang bang*

Syuen:m-mihara! shoot!

Mihara: nikkes cannot fire upon humans.

Syuen: you…!

Varakiel: This pain is nothing compared to what nikke's has withstood for all these years.

*click click click*

Varakiel then puts his face with his eyes closed in front of Syuen's face.

Varakiel: i give you 10 seconds to apologize to the 5 nikkes on this room , and 5 minutes to leave my outpost or i will take you down to the outer rim and get dismembered by rogue nikkes, the same nikkes you have abandoned, 1.

Syuen:....are you crazy!? Do you know who I am!?

Varakiel:5

Syuen: Why should I apologize to those hunks of scrap metal..!

Varakiel: 8

Varakiel then opens his eyes and the red scarlet eyes of Gregar form are shown.

Varakiel: 9

Syuen: EKKKKKK!!! i-i´m sorry!!!

Varakiel: perfect~! we will comply with your demands and will help you in this rapture capture, also i want 100m Credits by the end of the week

Syuen: y-you!!

Varakiel: I've been clear!?

Varakiel says with an enraged tone!

Syuen: EKKK!! 

Mihara:...commander…with due respect that kind of money….

Varakiel: I see so that's hard even for her…..fine 10m by the end of the week. Consider yourself lucky that you have such a loyal companion…now 5 minutes are counting, get out of my outpost. mihara, yuni was it, we'll see you tomorrow for that capture.

Mihara:.....understood, commander.

Yuni...commander…..i'm….i'm sorry.

Varakiel:....is okay child you were just following orders, i don't blame you, now get your CEO out of here. one more thing, if i discover that you blame mihara or yuni for anything today, i will go look for you brat, you're the CEO of Missilis, begin to act like one, not like an entitled brat, or else you will get yourselves in deep trouble like today, there's a lot of people like me that don't give a damn about your position when they have a weapon at hand, now….GET OUT OF MY OUTPOST!

Syuen: EKKKKKK!!!!

syuen runs away

Mihara:....thank you commander…i'm sorry rapi, anis and neon, let's go yuni…

Yuni: I am sorry too…

Mihara and Yuni then walk out of the dormitory as well.

Rapi: commander, are you okay!!?

rapi then goes full worry after they left.

Anis: duh, he can't be okay!. He just took the pain of seven bullets!

Neon: master how many fingers do you see!?

Varakiel then sits on a chair nearby….

Varakiel: *fiuu* don't worry i am okay, like i said this pain is nothing compared to what nikkes suffer every day.

Varakiel then gives them a smile.

Varakiel: Well I don't know if this 100% legal but we got our money, hahaha.

Anis: -_- I am pretty sure extortion isn't legal.

Neon: But who is gonna complain, let's say that it's compensation for all the damages caused to our squad.

Rapi: that's….a good idea actually, but seriously stop being so reckless commander.

Varakiel: If I am not reckless then everything will stay the same, don't worry I am not stupid, I know my capabilities really well, but for now, hehehehe, are you ready? Today I will show you.

Varakiel then stands up 

Varakiel: humanity's greatest legacy.

Varakiel then walks to the kitchen.

Rapi:....

Anis:....

Neon: humanity's greatest legacy?

.....

Varakiel then gives 3 plates of food to rapi, anis and neon.

Varakiel: Here you go~.

Rapi:....this is humanity's greatest legacy?

Anis:...it looks like normal food…

Neon:..*munch* *munch* *munch* Master it tastes so good!!!

Varakiel: hehe, glad you like it neon, rapi, anis. I think you should reactivate your olfactory sensors.

Rapi:....okay.

Anis:.....okay, but i don't understand ho-

suddenly a warm and kind scent fills rapi and anis nose…..

Varakiel: hehe, now you see, this is how humans used to live everyday 55 years ago, like a family, a place where you can come back and call home, a place where you are safe, that's why i wanted the outpost, this outpost, i will turn it on a sanctuary for nikkes that are tired of fighting, a place where they can return to, now have a taste.

Rapi:....*munch*!!

Rapi's eyes shine with delight.

Rapi: is really good…

Anis:...*munch*.....uohhhh!! it really tastes so good!!!

Anis then devours her plate real fast…

Varakiel: It seems you all like it~.
