MasterOfArrows: Thanks for 1680+ views! Tell me what you think below! Sorry for the lateness. Online school is a bitch and so it writer's block. For those following I'm starting a new story as I don't want this to get too long.
3rd POV
Kikaza flew over the metropolis, narrowing her eyes as she scoured the ground. If she was going to get her hands on the Blue Aurum, it would be quite difficult. Blue Aurum was an expensive mineral from Planet Jung that was valued for its uses. It was practically a selling point of the economy, known for being extremely valuable and what not.
From what she heard going around the prison, it was used to power large machines and cities. Given a large sum of it, the material could be used to make a nuclear bomb. Quite a costly mineral, an entire ton was no doubt worth it's weight of money. In its current form it would be better off being sold on the black market seeing as it would need to be melted in order to form something of use.
Not to mention that stuff was rather pricey to handle. Given that stuff would no doubt be produced and managed in a plant of some kind, being around all those machines that were powered by fuel would make things rather difficult. After all, she was rather interested in having a bit of collection for herself. Blue Aurum was rather valuable and worth an extravagant amount.
However, given she was now affiliated with the Galactic Patrol, it wouldn't be good on her part to try taking the minerals. At least, not in an obvious given her attractiveness, she did have the advantage. She would sort things out when she got there for sure…
Suddenly, something caught her eye. From above, it appeared to be a man lying flat on his face. He resembled one of those losers who were trying to rob that bank, no doubt he was affiliated with them one way or another.
She kicked down to the ground, noticing that the more she scoured the city, the more bodies there were. There were dozens of them. She sensed their energy, they were alive, but seemed to be clinging to what they had."Hmm...They seem pretty injured. I wonder how that happened?"
Suddenly she heard a clicking noise of a gun. She tilted her head, seeing another one of those losers with a gun aimed at her direction. She simply placed her hand on her hips."Are you serious? Aiming your firearm at me while my back was turned? How rude…"
She prepared for him to fire, however he remained still before abruptly stiffening. She cocked an eyebrow."Um...Are you going to shoot or what?"
Suddenly his eyes faded as he collapsed forward, dropping his firearm as he did so. She suddenly noticed the large slash marks on his back.
"Tch, what a bunch of fucking pussies. Can't even shoot in a timely manner. How pathetic."
Suddenly her eyes averted upwards at the sadistic voice. Standing over the male was Miza in all her glory, arm raised and covered in a sticky red substance that dripped slowly to the ground. Half of her body was covered in the substance, cackling as she did so. Her grin was crooked and unhinged, her pointed fangs large and gleaming.
"Miza? You did all of this?" the seductress inquired, gesturing towards the male fighters scattered across the city street, all weak and their ki faded.
"Heh, who else?" She gleamed."These losers didn't stand a fucking chance against my wrath. They're all mindless pawns with no sense of how outclassed they are. Not that I'm complaining, my depraved side needed a little time to come out and play. These dumbasses were the perfect way of taking out my frustration."
"That explains all the bruises and marks on their faces. You sure you didn't overdo it?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Overdoing it? Tch, it's not my fault these pussies have brittle bones. They break too easily."
"Miza, Merus won't be happy if you kill the ones we're supposed to arrest. You're already on thin ice as it is, I wouldn't attempt to anger him by failing the basics of the mission."
The punk scowled at the Merus's name being mentioned."Ugh. Always has to be about that self righteous bastard doesn't it?"
"Well he is the reason we're allowed to be here. You should be thankful he's even letting you stay in his room given how much you two despise each other"
"I'm ain't thanking that asshole for shit. I don't owe that no good midget anything."
"Even if you don't, killing these losers won't look good on you. You already have quite the track record, Miza. I doubt this would do you any favors killing them. Your ruthless and savage nature has gotten you in trouble in the past, try not to repeat it here."
"Paranoid much? Don't worry, these losers aren't worth killing. They may be in a large amount of pain, but they won't die from it. Merus can't bitch to me about maiming these lameasses, only if they die. And I'm certain they won't."
"Are you sure? It seems you've done quite the damage to these people. Some I think are already dead..."
She shrugged."Tch. That's fucking nothing. Come on, if you want to test if these losers are still alive and kicking, watch and learn." She waltzed up to one of the paler ones. The fallen soldier's eyes were white and he had blood trickling from his mouth.
Without warning, the punk raised her boot before crushing it on his back, causing a large snapping noise to be heard as he howled in agony. She repeatedly followed this step, sadistically grinning at the cries from the weaker fighter."See, Kikaza? Still alive and kicking. Though he's a bit of a screamer."
She put more pressure on his back, eliciting another howl from him. Irritated, the punk scowled, looking down at him with utter disdain."Ah Shaddap! You losers are such pussies, can't even take a little pain? You disgust me..."
Kikaza shook her head,"That's enough Miza, you've tortured them long enough."
"Tch, whatever." The punk gazed at her arm that was covered in blood. Sadistically gleaming, she abruptly licked the red substance from her arm."Mmmm….Cherry~"
The darker skinned female recoiled in disgust,"Are...Are you licking the blood from your arm?"
"Yeah? What's wrong with tasting the blood of your enemies?" She questioned, raising an eyebrow at her disgusted teammate as she lapped up the red liquid.
"I-Nevermind…" She remembered who she was talking to. Miza's race was bloodthirsty and depraved in nature. They weren't as well known as those saiyans, but they were still sadistic barbarians nonetheless. Females of their species were more bloodlusted and prone to sadistic torture….which certainly explained a lot.
"Thought so. Though now that these pussies are down for the count, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be fucking some random men right about now?"
"What? Me? Sex with those losers? Without getting paid? As if. Miza, I have standards, and those men don't make the cut. Believe me, they'd have to give me quite the sum of treasure for me to open to those types of negotiations. They should be lucky with what they got."
The Mythic Bitch scoffed,"Figures. You have unbelievable standards when it comes to males. I don't see the appeal that's got you so obsessed. These losers are just a bunch of tools. Not too different from the other males I've encountered."
"Tools yes, but they certainly have their uses. Some of them are charming and even handsome."
The punk's face contorted into one of utter revulsion."Ugh! You disgust me with your desires towards that bastard."
"Aw, come on, Miza. He's got a handsome face, and that body doesn't lie~"
"Blech! Shut up already! You're going to make me sick."
The darker skinned female giggled,"No promises…Though now that you're here, I suppose you can aid me in a little venture."
"Aid you? What the hell do you need? I thought you handled all those losers, you seriously need my help for that?"
"I did. Are you implying I'm not competent?"
"No, just that I thought you were too busy sleeping with men to focus on the mission. I'm impressed you weren't doing that honestly."
"I'm not that aroused that I'm sleeping with these dumbasses with no reward. Besides, I doubt they are that special given they didn't even fuel their ship properly. It's the whole reason I came out here in the first place."
"Wait, you're here for fuel? Well spaceship fuel is rather expensive last I checked. Isn't it that Sky Gold shit? I hear that shit is fucking worth tons on the market."
"Indeed it is. Plant Jung no doubt imports it's resources to other planets, so I wouldn't be shocked if there was a factory plant managing such prized valuables. Though I'm not certain where on this planet it would be…"
"I ain't sure. Haven't seen any factories that could manage that Sky Gold…"Miza narrowed her eyes as she saw a ship carrying supplies whirl by them."Hm? What the hell? What is that ship doing?"
"I believe it's our ticket to the factory." Kikaza mused, pointing at the large ship that appeared to be carrying the imported material."Let's follow them, I bet once we turn this ship in at HQ they'll reward us quite passionately."
"Is that why you were so insistent on fueling this ship?"
"Of course. Bringing in extra ships no doubt garners extra winnings. I see no reason not to use this to our advantage while we're working under the Galactic Patrol.I'm certain they'll reward us for getting a prize like this. No doubt Merus got rewarded generously after they took Saganbo's ship into custody after our arrest."
"Whatever. I don't care what those assholes give me, doesn't take back the fact I hate these fools and their stupid organization. Let's just get that Sky Gold and move it." She took to the sky before blasting off after the ship, Kikaza grinning as she followed after.
They landed at the factory plant, examining the view. The dark skinned seductress's smile rose as she caught sight of the blue mineral hoarded in the carts, being shipped in. Despite the chaos, it seemed to be a normal business day for them. All workers were hauling the Blue Aurum to their proper containers, each varying by size and color.
Best of all, none of them seemed to notice the girl's presence within their factory.
The mineral gleamed in the light, shining similar to the way a diamond would if brought out light. Her eyes greedily lit up, eyes zooming in one the carts of ore being sorted."My my….Looks like they've got quite the stash of ore on them."
Miza scoffed,"No shit, it's a plant managing truckloads of it. This Sky Gold is fucking bling. We just need to get a fuel version of it and we'd be set."
"And it's all for the taking…"
She waltzed up towards the metal container. Often the most valuable Aurum was one with the most shine and hardness. The lighter blue it was, the better. The highest value ones were no doubt used for other uses, like bombs and other machinery, or even cities to power their electricity.
The seductress held up two pieces of the minerals, carefully examining the ores in her hands, measuring the weight and size of which one was favorable."Hm...Which one should I take? This one looks lighter...though this one is more beautiful. This is such a tough decision."
An overweight alien in a work uniform suddenly noticed her presence."Hey you! What are you doing?"
She coldly glared at the portly factory worker, a disgusted expression clear on her face."Um, taking what is mine. I need Blue Aurum for the fuel to my ship. And I'm not letting some fool stand in my way of getting paid."
"Who do you think you are!? Taking our valuable minerals and such!"
Attitude he had...Honestly if she weren't an officer at the moment he would be regretting those words. She tsked."I'm Kikaza, that's who."
"K-Kikaza! You're that Brigade lady! I thought you were locked up! How are you here?"
The seductress grinned,"Easy. Galactic Patrol wants my assistance to help take down losers that they cannot. However this position has benefits, and the fuel I need is somewhere in this factory. I'm certain the pay will be generous once I turn the ship in. Mind showing me?"
"W-Well I- '' He saw Miza in the corner of his eye, subtly and slowly moving her index finger across her throat, maliciously smiling as she did so. The blood from her previous fight was still visible on her face, eyes now wide and filled with bloodlust."O-Of course madam, if you insist! R-Right this way!"
"Glad you see it my way. See Miza, I told you there was no need to resort to violence didn't I?"'
"Fucking bullshit. Just tell this fool to show the goods, this place smells metallic and it's getting on my fucking nerves. I'm getting a migraine the longer I'm in this damn factory."
The girls were led through the factory. They got a closer inspection of the works, seeing the Blue Aurum at different stages. They noticed that some of the ore was crushed up and molded in different forms.
"Um Sir, why is the ore getting crushed up? It's rather valuable, I'd think it'd be worth more than crushing up into shapes."
"Oh that? That's simply for other purposes."
Miza cocked an eyebrow,"Sky Gold has other purposes outside of currency on the Black Market?"
"Of course. Blue Aurum had many uses in our field, often being used for fuel and to power machines and what not. However it also made for a beautiful lightsource and decorational pieces. It was used to make decorative lamps and rings of sorts.
"And in this sector we convert the Blue Aurum into oil. It's a rather straining and difficult process due to how….sensitive the Blue Aurum can be. We have to be sure not to melt it too quickly or put it above the usual temperature or else…"
"Or else what?" Kikaza inquired.
"Tch! What the hell do you think it means? Blue Aurum goes in a super hot place, this place goes kaboom! This shit is ued to make fucking explosives, what the hell do you think that means if any of this shit gets heated beyond normal temperature?"
"That we all get blown up?"
"Precisely. Which is why we should get the oil and take our leave. Our first mission is supposed to be easy, we shouldn't expect anything too dangerous. We got what we need, now let's take our leave."
"Agreed." Kikaza was handed a large canister of fuel. It was quite heavy given it was meant to power a ship."Damn, this is heavier than I thought."
"No shit, it's for a ship. The hell do you expect?"
"Shouldn't say I'm surprised. Come on, let's go. This advanced ship will surely bring us a good price once we turn it in..."
Meanwhile across the metropolis two speeding ships were chasing after each other The Galactic Patrol ship was larger, however was at the speed disadvantage compared to the small and agile ship in front of them.
Merus was trying to catch up with them, but Galactic Patrol ships weren't as fast as certain ones that were more advanced, much to his displeasure.
"Merus, can't this thing go any faster?" Iwaza asked, just as frustrated as Merus was that they couldn't catch this loser.
""I wish it did. Clearly the only way we're catching up to that ship is through other means…."
"Such as?"
He didn't directly answer. First mission for the girls wasn't supposed to be this difficult. However, if the ship wasn't going to cooperate, then he supposed a little bit of assistance wouldn't be out of the question."Iwaza, would you mind assisting me in this endeavor?"
"Um...I don't see why not! How can I help?"
"I'd like for you to take charge of the ship. I'll try slowing him down from above."
"But I-" Merus was already out of the ship before she could finish. She quickly took over the pilot's seat. She had to admit, it was rather empowering being in this position as she'd never taken control of flying."W-Woah! This is so cool. All these bright buttons. Hm...I wonder. What does this button do? Let's find out!"
"Iwaza. What are you doing?" Merus's voice suddenly shattered her thoughts through the earpiece, catching her off guard.
She jumped, flinching at the sharpness in his voice."U-Um! Absolutely nothing! I totally wasn't going to push one of the buttons on the control panel. I-I totally wasn't going to do that, that would be so silly of me!"
Merus's voice became irritated at his female comrade's impulsive nature,"Iwaza...refrain from pushing the colorful buttons on the control panel. It is not in our best interest to push them."
"But Merus, they're so colorful!"
"Iwaza…"
"O-Ok! Fine I won't…."
He sighed."Good lord. Alright, now then. I need you to get a bit closer. I think I can shoot him down from here. I just need you to adjust yourself slightly to the right."
"Okie dokie! But there's just one problem with that Merus!"
"What problem? Has something gone wrong?"
"No...It's just that erm..I forgot which way right and left was."
His face fell."...Are you kidding me? Iwaza, please tell me you're joking. This is not the time for-"
"I'm completely serious, Merus. I'm pants with directions so….yeah."
"Oh gods...This was clearly a bad decision. Maybe I should go back and pilot myse-"
"No no no! I-I can fly the ship Merus, just fine! I mean, I'm a bit shaky and all, but I can do it! It's just going to be a work in progress!" She hadn't had the opportunity to fly a ship in ages! None of the guys at Saganbo's ship let her pilot due to how rough she was, always insisting she was too clumsy. This was her chance to prove them wrong!
"That doesn't make me any less concerned for our safety. Just don't crash into us or anything."
"Oh come on, Merus. I'm not that clumsy-WOAH!" She narrowly dodged a building, shifting to the side at the last possible moment.
His voice was dripping with sarcasm and snark, calmly replying,"You were saying?"
She blushed,"Uh….yeah. I should stop talking now."
Merus rolled his eyes,"I insist you do. Now, let me try shooting him down. He won't be able to fly as fast if one of his rockets are damaged."
"Sounds like a plan to me. Need any help?"
"Erm...Not really. I believe I can make this shot from here."
"Oh...ok."
Merus carefully aimed at his target. He just had to hit it just right and…
PEW! He shot his gun at the rockets. To his surprise, it did minimal, if any damage."What the hell is that made of!? It didn't take damage?" That was new. The guns usually did damage against ships, so now he wasn't certain how he was supposed to take the ship he was going to need another method.
"What happened Merus?"
"Apparently someone's gotten an upgrade to their ship. It won't take damage from any bullets, meaning shooting them down is a futile effort I'm afraid."
"Well we can't just let this loser just get away! There has to be something we can do….Hey, that's it! Merus, these buttons must do something right?"
"Erm...yes? But I'd prefer you touch them at random. That is extremely dangerous."
"Don't worry, I have an idea. This thing won't go down with normal shots...But it can't take the big guns can it?"
"Big guns?" Merus asked.
Suddenly he noticed from above the ship that parts of the ship had moved themselves. Two large cannons made their appearance.
"Oh...Using canons now are we?"
"He he he! Well I'm more willing to get a bit more...on the explody side of things. And if he won't do it willingly, we'll just…'help' him so to speak. Ready?"
"I suppose so, but where exactly are you aiming at?"
"You'll see…" She then pushed the button on the control panel, the red one now glowing."FIRE!"
Suddenly the missile came flying out of the ship. Merus watched in shock as it hit one of the old and abandoned skyscrapers."Iwaza, you hit the skyscraper! It missed!"
"No it didn't."
The skyscraper went tumbling down, and to Merus's shock, the skyscraper crumbled...right on top of the ship they were chasing. He had no time to react as the entire thing collapsed onto him like a bucket of rubble.
"W-what? It...it actually worked?"
"Yep! Told you so!"
"I...I still can't believe it. How did that happen?"
"A little concentration and a lot of luck to be honest." She replied truthfully, still nervously smiling.'I can't believe it that worked. That was honestly a whim.'
"That's what I thought."
Iwaza roughly parked the ship down towards the ground. Both she and Merus walked up to the pile of rubble, seeing the crashed ship that was surrounded in rubble and stolen goods. From what Merus could see, it was full of loot and money, no doubt worth tons had he gotten away with it.
"Hmph. Pathetic. All that effort and you still couldn't beat us. Honestly, I don't get why they even try."
"Eh, the thrill of looting gets to people! I get it. Though, it seems he bit off a bit more than he could chew."
The male coughed as he attempted to push the rubble off him. Merus and Iwaza forced him out of the damage before putting him in handcuffs."That should do it. He won't be a problem anymore. We should phone the authorities to take the treasures back to their rightful place."
"Don't worry, Merus! I'll put him right back in the hsip where he belongs. Come on, you're coming with me!" Iwaza dragged the leader back into the hsip, ignoring his cries in agony as she did so.
Merus sighed. He had to admit, Iwaza was unpredictable and whimsy, but she was useful. Given this was her first mission, such risks usually resulted in worse outcomes. She did much better than he expected.
Before this thought could continue, a large shadow came over him. Merus looked upwards to see a ship slightly smaller than the one crushed beneath the rubble arrive. It landed and Merus saw Kikaza and Miza strut towards him.
"I see you managed to get one of their ships, for your first mission, it's impressive."
Kikaza grinned, proudly boasting with her hand on her chest,"The glory of the ship obtaining belongs to me..Though Miza definitely scored her winnings of soon to be prisoners."
"You did?"
She snorted, baring her fangs at him,"See for yourself. Got quite the handiwork with those little bitches!"
They opened the door in the back, revealing dozens of criminals, knocked unconscious and with their fair share of injuries. Merus wasn't sure whether he was horrified or amazed. A mix of both sufficed.
Merus eyed the carnage before turning to Miza,"Oh...I can't say you weren't efficient unfortunately...Though I'd advise not to be so ruthless. A lot of these prisoners are going to need medical attention once we get back to HQ." Saying that she was efficient was something that left a bitter taste in his mouth. The idea of complimenting her was something that sickened him.
She rolled her eyes, grinning at Merus's disgust at her,"That's not a problem. All I know is that I kicked ass. Even you can't fucking deny that."
"I can't, but that doesn't mean I cannot disprove your needlessly ruthless methods. You clearly showed more force than needed."
"Says you? The skyscraper legit collapsed on someone and you have the audacity to judge me?"
"First off, that was Iwza. Secondly, it was abandoned and old, so it's not like it would have harmed anyone. Can't say the same thing about you when it comes to your fighting style."
"Bla bla bla. I don't care, asshole."
The elite scoffed, eyes full of disdain as he hatefully replied,"Tch. Vulgar and revolting as usual. Can't say I'm surprised by your attitude."
"Hey you two, you coming? We got to go back and deliver news of how our mission went! Come on, I didn't come all this way for nothing in return!"
"We're coming…Right Miza?"
"Yeah… Right."
