What's up, beautiful people! This is Man of Cartoons with my very own special for my fanfiction "Corruption, Murder and Redemption?" and it will feature three certain little girls. This is my take on it, so even if you're a new reader, you don't need to worry too much about what or how certain characters are in place. Things will be explained, but I will advise that if this fanfiction satisfies you enough then please read the story itself.
Now to the readers that are familiar with the fanfiction, this takes place some chapters after chapter 36. I say this because at the time of writing this fanfiction, I haven't written chapter 37. Will it contain spoilers for what happens after that chapter? Yes, it does, but I made sure the spoilers are just minimal. Besides, if I keep focusing on the main story, it'll take me months before I get to this special.
So with that out of the way, here's the special chapter.
SPECIAL CHAPTER: THE RESCUE
For 1000 years, the empire has existed, spreading its influence to all tribes and ethnics in its control, including having various cities, villages and basic communities. But the current ruler of the empire was a boy, and a naïve one at that, that it caused the most corruptible man on earth, Honest, to manipulate him, thus plunging the empire into a path of possible destruction.
Honest placed huge taxes on many villages, making lives difficult for many people, and also causing major decisions that would break hearts. To avoid poverty, many villages sold their children to survive, and now that brings us to the present situation.
Winter was in the air, and with that came the cold weather it was known for. Looking through one of the barred-covered windows in the carriage they were in, Air couldn't help but feel depressed when she saw them drawing closer to the Capital. She, like her two friends, Luna and Fall, were three of the many kids their village had sold off too. The memories were too painful to think about, so she concentrated on the present situation.
"We're almost at the Capital. What do you think our master will be like, Luna?" She asked.
A few distinct things unspeakablely stood out for each girl. Besides their personalities, they wore a single colored set of winter clothes, different anyway in design, but yet somewhat matching who they were. Air wore a pink raincoat with matching hat, socks and shoes, and had pink eyes and pink hair. Fall, her friend, had golden-blonde hair, amber eyes, and wore an orange raincoat and a pair of matching boots. Then there was Luna, who had neck length dark blue hair and light blue eyes, and wore a blue raincoat with bunny ears-like attachments on the hood and a pair of matching boots.
"I'm guessing an old geezer." Luna answered, self-consciously as she replied to her friend's question. "He's probably after our bodies like some animal."
"Ha! In that case, I'll crush his balls and run away!" Fall said with a confident smirk and her hand spread on the only couch.
"Balls?" Air looked at her friend with a comedic confused expression.
Fall sat forward with her confidence never breaking. With the proud smile on her face, she then said. "Listen, Air. We're not like the other village girls who get sold in the Capital. We were chosen by someone in a high office. We've got to do our best to work hard, find a good man, and start our dream of living the good life in the Capital."
"I think you're being overly positive about this, Fall…" Luna replied.
Some time passed, and soon the three of them got out of the carriage when it came to a stop. Three of them had pictured their new master to be old and kind of ugly, however, when a young man with light brown hair and amber eyes, and in formal clothes, came to get them they were surprised. He had a positive smile on his face as he waved to them.
"I'm your new master. The name's Bach" He sang the last part with a little cheer in it.
'He's young.' Fall thought as she casted an untrusting glare at him.
Whether the man noticed it or not was left unknown. He gestured them to a direction and said. "Now this way."
Another amount of time passed, and soon the girls found themselves in the metropolis part of the Capital. The huge buildings, the vast number of people, and the daily order of things there astonished the girls, especially Air.
"Woooooooooooow! So this is the Capital. It's a Metropolis." She said.
Fall was impressed with the place. With her left hand on her hip, she said. "Our village had nothing but an inn and a secondhand shop. I was traumatized by all the adventurers who'd ask me 'there's no weapon shop?'"
Bach chuckled lightly. "Everything here must feel totally foreign to you. Why don't you girls have a look around? I'll buy you some clothes."
"R…Really?!" Air walked over to him, staring at him gleefully with her hands held together.
Bach threw his arms apart. "Of course. I am a kind master, after all." He answered.
Air looked to her friend Luna at her side. "H…He seems easy to talk to…and like a good person."
"We can't let our guard down." Luna said cautiously and with her finger up. "Did you forget that all men are wolves?"
Air nodded and clenched her fist. "Y-You're right. Wolves are dangerous, right?"
"If we ever feel in danger, we'll just run away." Fall said in response. She then went to prove her point by kicking her leg so high it was close to her head. "In a pinch, leave everything to me! With my martial arts that took out a bunicorn…!"
"Fall, that's not dignified!" Air exclaimed in embarrassment to her friend. The reason was because Fall's action exposed her underwear.
Bach, of course, was hearing all of this since the girls were being so open in front of him. He scratched his chin a bit and smiled "Mm, you seem to be on your guard around me, but…I'll tell you the truth. The reason I want to treat you to a new wardrobe is because I can't have my attendants smelling like they came out of the countryside…"
Fall, Air and Luna were a little dumbfounded by the revelation, with the former of the trio looking at her two friends. Luckily, Bach changed the mood when he returned with the cheerful smile from before.
"So how about I give you an allowance and you buy some clothes yourselves?" He asked.
"S…Sure thing." Air agreed with a bright smile.
With that, the day for the three girls were splendidly well. All three of them were allowed inside different stores, where they were able to try out some clothes and buy the ones that they felt suited them. Bach was with them, of course, being a gentleman by giving them the money they needed and allowing them do what they wanted.
Eventually, the shopping came to an end, and the trio were led inside a place that resembled closely a restaurant, and were allowed to order some food.
"Please, eat up. Eat up." Bach cheerfully encouraged them.
"A…All right!" Air said.
She and her friends soon ate the food they had, though Fall's bad manners went unnoticed and got scolded by Luna. Bach saw nothing wrong with it though, and even chuckled. "I'm just glad to see you enjoying yourselves."
Air agreed with that, and with that she smiled the brightest of appreciation she could ever had.
"Thank you so much!" She said.
With everything that has happened, the girls were completely at ease around Bach. For a man that was their master, he treated them so kindly that any resistance they might have held against him was entirely gone.
However, it'd seem they should've kept to the warning one of them made about dropping their guard. A group of men in suits were suddenly behind Bach before any other word could be said. The atmosphere in the area changed, and even became worse when that cheerful smile on Bach's face became that of a sinister one.
"Of course. Now for the main dish!" He said with a sinister tone.
Before Air, Luna and Fall could make sense of what he meant, they were suddenly captured. Three men grabbed them by restraining their arms, much to their surprise. Luna was at the worse since one of them men was not only restraining her arms, but also with his fist on her back to keep her still.
The truth finally dawned on Fall, and it pissed her off. Looking at how calm and silent Bach was looking at them, she knew immediately that they had been fooled, and so she went on to the attack.
"YOU!" Before anyone else could say a word, she was able to jump and sent her foot up to kick the man holding her arms. "LET ME GO!"
Fall was the only one amongst the three that knew some form of martial arts. Despite her small frame, she has done some impressive things in her fast, and took some pride in it. However, when her boot hit the face of the man holding her, he didn't even flinch from the physical contact. If anything, he just smirked devilishly.
"What was that?!" He asked rhetorically, and released her left arm. With her facing him, he then punched her strongly at the stomach. " Was that a country-bumpkin's version of kung fu!?"
The punch was stronger than anything Fall could've mustered to prepare for. She coughed out some blood and felt some tears leak out of her eyes. The hit was so bad that she fell to the ground, twitching and in a weak state.
"FALL!" Air cried out to her friend.
She watched as Fall hit the ground, but the horror had barely begun. The man they once trusted seemed unfazed by the cruel act, and even said. "Aw, was it Suka who made a bid for the tomboy?"
"Yes, yes." The man named Suka said. As the skinniest of the three men, he was an elderly, as obvious by his almost bold head. He was pleased by the scene with Fall and then said. "It'll be fun to slowly but surely whittle away at this girl."
"Absolutely." Bach said with his common smile and pointed at the girl. "Absolutely. Then break both her legs."
"On it." The same man that punched her carried her by the legs and let her be in a sitting position in his arms. Before any protest could be made, he used his brute strength to break her legs upwards in 90 degrees.
The snap from Fall's legs breaking were loud, and so agonizing to the young girl. She cried out in pain as she felt her ankles break like they were twigs, which was barely what she could describe. The pain was something she never could've imagined in her life, and now she was experiencing such a thing.
"Ooooh, what a nice scream." Suka said with a sinister smile. "Now she can't run away. I wonder how I'll break her."
Luna and Air were in shock and dumbfounded over the scene. They saw what happened to their friend, and heard the loud scream she made. The horror was too bad to describe; sadly, none of them could get out of the situation they were in.
Bach could see that they were confused about the whole scene. It didn't make him feel bad because, if anything about it, he felt joy when he decided to explain everything.
"The men of the Capital are enthusiasts of a particular sorts. They told me ordinary girls can't satisfy them anymore. All of them say they enjoy destroying young girls after seeing them smile in absolute happiness. They really are breath-takingly perverted.
"It's thanks to our appetites that you make a living." said another customer of Bach. He wore heavy cultural clothes, and had chubby cheeks partly due to his weath in his old age. When his eyes looked down on Luna, he couldn't help but feel interested in her as he pointed at her. "Hey, I want that girl. That one!" He said.
"Alright, and what is your order?" Back asked, looking back at him.
The elderly man licked his lips disgustingly. "I like her eyes. Licking a girl like that is my fetish."
"The eyes. Got it."
"Yes sir." With that said, one of the guards went ahead to Luna with a knife.
"Y…You're kidding…" Luna couldn't comprehend that the whole thing was real. It was only until she saw the knife and the guard approaching her that she became truly scared, and began to cry. "S…Stop. N…No, I...I beg you, don't…"
Her pleas went on deaf ears; the man plugged her eyes out, causing her to scream in agonizing pain as her blood splashed from her and hit the ground. Air saw it happen as the only one unharmed, but that soon changed when the focus went on her.
"I'm giving the last girl as a present to my dear child." Another customer said. He was different in looks than the other two, but still the same with a disgusting fetish towards little girls.
"Yeah, yeah." Bach said in a bit of annoyance. His small show of anger wasn't because of Air's fate, but because of the fact that she'll be wasted on something he didn't like. "What a waste of merchandise." He said.
Air's pink clothes were grabbed and ripped in an instant by the guard holding her back. She was horrified at the scene as her breasts and underwear were exposed for the men to see. She couldn't hide the tears, not that it mattered to the men doing this horror anyway. As Air watched pieces of the fabric that once held her clothes, the man who picked her pulled a chain that held his dog.
"Allow me to introduce my dear child." He said with a sinister grin. "I spoil him like he was my own flesh and blood." He then bent down and petted him. "It's my little doggy."
The dog was definitely an animal, but he certainly wasn't little. He looked like a brute that would attack anyone that'd try to get on his bad side, except now it seemed that its focus was on Air.
"He's in heat right now…" The man said to his own pleasure. "Oh, I know! How about we all stick around to watch him bedding you so we can wish you happiness!"
Bach agreed, but for a different reason. With that cheerful smile on his face, he said. "How lucky that you won't have anything broken. Well, besides your humanity."
"Wh…Why are you so cruel?" Air asked the first question since the horror began.
"Because I make money this way." He gladly said.
The chain holding the dog back broke. The dog was in the mood that his master had said he was, and now he was ready to unleash all his pent up sexual urges on her. Meanwhile, the men laughed in their sinister joy, knowing very well on the girl's fate.
Air's fate seemed sealed as there was nothing she could do to stop it. With the dog heading straight for her, she couldn't hide the fear showing on her face or the look in her eyes that didn't move away from the approaching dog.
These men had done things like these for so long. Air and her friends were no different than the previous girls they've done horrible acts to. The only thing Air could do was try to block out the laughter from the men, though even that was futile.
However, the mood and the atmosphere changed when the front door was blown open and a body was sent flying. It was a guard who had been posted there, only to end up hitting the floor directly in front of the door. His body obstructed the dog's path; however, the men were confused by the scene when they looked to the door.
"What the hell just happened?! Who dares to interrupt by child's pleasure time?!" The man who owned the dog asked.
"I DID!" Through the smokescreen at the door, a beast leapt and landed on the floor, revealing himself.
"A-A DANGER BEAST!?" Screamed the man who wanted Luna's eyes.
The beast in front of them only responded by unleashing a powerful roar. He was a four-legged creature with maroon-red color, four huge white spikes running down his back that overlaps, a long tail with a curved horn and black lips. One thing that stood him apart from most Danger Beasts, however, was the Ultimatrix's symbol on its chest.
"ULTIMATE WILDMUTT!" He roared monstrously.
Everyone in the room, especially Air and her friends, had to cover their ears as an attempt to protect their eardrums. Unlike the three of them that was utterly confused by the scene, Bach recognized the symbol on the beast's chest when the roar ended and was in shock.
"That symbol…I've seen it all over the Capital!" His eyes widened in shock as he immediately sat up and pointed at Ultimate Wildmutt. "Kill that beast immediately before it's too late!"
Every guard in the room did as ordered and began shooting at the beast in front of them. Even though Ultimate Wildmutt didn't have eyes, he sensed the bullets coming and ran forward. He cleverly maneuvered his way passed them, before jumping straight at one guard and knocking him down.
Before the guard could respond, Ultimate Wildmutt grabbed his coat by the teeth and lifted him off the ground with his brute strength. The guard was the same one that stripped Air of her clothes, and now he was feeling the moment of being overpowered.
Ultimate Wildmutt effortlessly tossed the guard against three other guards, and ran out of the way of more gunfire. Air was in shock over what was happening, and couldn't comprehend for a second what was going on. She was, however, startled when she saw the dog from before resume its charge towards her, its tongue flapping in the air as its excitement for her grew.
"No…No! S-Stay away! Stay away!" Air moved back as an attempt to get away. It was all futile though, as the dog came closer to her.
Ultimate Wildmutt noticed the scene when he pushed down another guard. Turning back, he was alarmed at the scene, and 'looked' up to the ceiling for a certain reason.
"SPEAR!" He shouted.
Above the building where everything was taking place, dark cloud began to assemble. With them also came lightning charges, which gathered at its center until it became bright and shot down to the building.
Before the dog could approach Air, its fate was sealed. The lightning struck down on him, sending a powerful shockwave in the air that not only destroyed the dog, but sent Air flying back. When the smokescreen cleared, Spear in an Asgardian armor lifted her weapon, Mjolnir, a god-like weapon with a long end holding the special materials that created the lightning.
"I shalt not let anyone be harassed!" Spear strongly proclaimed and stood straight. She looked entirely different than her usual look, and it was thanks to the power of the thunder god. She wore an Asgardian armor, with a helmet that half of her face and made her eyes glowing blue.
"MY CHILD!" The owner of the dog shouted. "You bitch! How could you kill my –"
"SILENCE!" Spear responded by tossing her hammer straight at him. Even though the component that made the hammer was something that could crush a human being in seconds, Spear reduced its weight so it could just send the guy some feet away.
Spear stretched her hand out to summon the hammer back to her, however, the guards that were unoccupied by Ultimate Wildmutt decided that the moment was right to shoot her. Unfortunately for them, the bullets just bounced of her. But if there was one thing the bullets did do, it got her attention before she turned to face them.
"I believe this is the part Master Tennyson would do a thunderclap." With that said, Spear spread her arms apart and clapped it once. The shockwave from it was so powerful that it sent the guys flying across the room, with some crashing into some tables.
If none of that was enough, you would be mistaken. Sheele, Eunice and Lucy burst through the windows and landed on the floor. Ultimate Wildmutt noticed their presences before a bunch of guards tried to force him down by holding him down in their numbers. He threw them off easily and turned to the girls.
"It's about time you girls showed up!" He went ahead to explain the plan. "Eunice and Sheele, take care of the girls. Spear and Lucy, you're with me!"
Spear nodded affirmatively. With her staff-like hammer in her hand, she patted the head of the weapon on her open hand. "To fight alongside you, Master Tennyson, would be of great honor!"
With that, Spear stretched her staff-like hammer at the guards and the enthusiasts and shot some lightning bolts at all them. None of them made contact with them, but they did hit the floor and caused it to explode with enough force to send them flying away.
Her attacks also made a few hits when it struck the guards holding back Luna and Fall. With both girls free, they hit the ground, though that wasn't easy for Fall, who cried out in pain when her broken legs hit the floor.
"AAHHH! IT HURTS!"
"Sorry!" Eunice apologized and approached Fall. She then knelt next to her and pulled out a pair of pills from her pocket. "Take these drugs! They won't fix your legs, but they'll stop the pain!"
"No!" Fall pushed Eunice's hand away. "W-Who are you and what –"
Eunice cut her off by shoving the drugs in her mouth anyway. She knew it was for the best even if she had to be forceful about it. So even as it wasn't intentional, Fall swallowed the drugs and coughed in disgust.
"What the hell was…" She paused and noticed something. Along with her stomach, her legs didn't hurt her anymore. She was surprised. "Th-They work?"
Eunice smiled in response. Now she could be a bit friendlier towards her. "Yes, they do work. Do you mind if I get you out of here?"
"M-My friends. They…"
"I have another friend covering for them." Eunice cut her off.
She was right, because right at that moment, Sheele gave Air a white shirt from one of the unconscious guards to wear. Air was still recovering from being pushed away from the shockwave, but she understood easily that Sheele meant well.
"T-Thank you." She said, gripping the white cloth.
Sheele nodded in response and turned over to Luna. The poor blue-haired girl was in a worse state than her friends. With her eyes gone, she couldn't go anywhere, and thus she cried, though that did nothing as she even lacked the functions to release tears.
Sheele felt sorry for her and stood up. The ruckus from the battle was obviously scaring Luna, who could do nothing but stay still, confused and scared as her body twitched at every sound around her.
Sheele made an attempt to stand up, but was held back. Air was holding the bottom of her dress and looking up at her pleadingly.
"Please…don't go." She said.
Sheele sympathized with her and knelt next to her. She softly patted her head and looked at her in the eyes. "Wait here, I promise to come back. Right now your friend needs help, and it won't be good if she stays like this."
"Luna…" Air turned over to her blind friend. Looking at the pitiful state she was in, she gained some courage and looked back at her. "Let me come with you. I want to help Luna." She said.
"Thank you." Sheele smiled.
With that, the purple-haired girl helped the pink haired girl back on her feet. The both of them then headed over to Luna, with Air calling out to her and helping her sit up.
"W-What's going on? Is that you, Air?" She asked.
"Yes, it's me. Hold on, this…woman is here to help." Air explained.
Sheele reached into a small pouch at her waist and pulled out some pills. With it, she knelt in front of Luna and said. "My name is Sheele. I know that right now you're hurting badly. I can't do much, but…take these pills and it'll help stop the pain."
Luna was hesitant to comply. Even though her friend trusted Sheele, she found it hard to do the same. Air understood her friend well, and gripped her shoulders slightly as an assurance.
"Please do it…not just for yourself, but for me." She urged her.
"Okay…I'll do it." Luna finally complied. "But only if Air gives it to me."
Sheele nodded and handed the pills to Air, who in turn made her friend to face her. She then told her to open her mouth. Luna complied, and soon she swallowed the pills and felt the pain go away.
"The pain…it suddenly vanished." If she could cry, she'd do it. But she still turned to Sheele and showed some face expression of appreciation. "Thank you so much."
"Don't thank me. We still –"
"Get away from here!" shouted a familiar voice. Just hearing it was enough to send a shudder down Luna's spine as the owner of the voice ran towards them. The same man who had ordered her eyes to be removed was running straight for them. "She's mine! Don't touch one hair on her!"
Sheele looked back at Luna, and her mood changed. Looking at the terrified girl as she clutched Air's wrist was enough to bring the cold side of her. Though she was no longer an assassin, it didn't change the fact that she'd hurt anyone who pried on the weak.
"Wait here, this will be over." With that, Sheele extended her hand, and Extase suddenly appeared in her hand in a flash of white light. 'Thanks to Ben's worldly technology, I don't have to carry Extase about like I used to. Now to deal with this man.'
"STAY AWAY FROM HER!"
Sheele had enough. She ran straight for the man, seemingly disappearing right in front of the two girls because of her speed. When she 'reappeared', it was very close to the man, who she then used the side of her Teigu to swat away almost like a bat. The old disgusting man was sent flying a few feet away until he crashed down on a table and remained there.
"S…So cool." Air could only mutter.
"Air, what happened?" Luna asked with obvious fear in her voice. "Is the woman okay?"
"She's fine." Air was looking at Sheele. In her view, the woman stood heroically with her weapon at her side. "She beat the bad man easily." With that, she helped her friend back on her feet and then squatted so she could get on her back. "Come on my back now. We're leaving."
"Okay." Luna nodded.
Back at the battle, the whole scene was almost over. Only a few guards left were able to put up a fight, and even then that wasn't enough. Most of their comrades littered the floor and anywhere else, with all of the enthusiasts knocked out except for one.
The enthusiast who had ordered for Luna's legs to be snapped was lying on the floor, his eyes closed as he pretended to be dead. Despite being hit by one of Spear's minor lightning strikes, the only damage on him was the burnt hole on his kimono, which revealed his chest.
'I don't know what happened, but if I pretend to be dead, I can get out of here…Good thing I put that watch in my breast pocket.' He thought.
"Oi, this one isn't unconscious." Lucy walked over to him, her smile hiding the disgust she truly had for men like him.
'S-Shit!' The Enthusasist knew he was in trouble. 'How does she know?! No, this is fine! Maybe she's just bluffing! There's no way that she'd know!'
"No, I'm pretty sure I know you're conscious."
'N-No…Nice trick, but there's no way that –'
"This isn't a trick either, though I'd admit I'm quite good. Also…" Lucy's mood changed, and she changed into her alien form. Before the man knew it, she turned her feet into liquid and allowed a lot of it to form a puddle underneath the man.
'W-What is…' The man didn't get to finish. This was because muddy tentacles from the puddle wrapped around his neck, arms and legs, and lifted him so high into the air, strangling him as he screamed.
"I hate scums, especially scums like you." Lucy finished her statement.
She completed her task by stoning him down hard to the ground. When the smokescreen cleared, the enthusiast lay in a small crater, his eyes blank white and mouth wide open.
_(LINE BREAK)_
Bach ran through a quiet hallway underneath the residence, proud at his escape with his two remaining bodyguards following him. Dealing in the gruesome business he took part in always brought in all sorts of danger, so he always made sure to have an escape route to avoid such things.
"Hmph! I thought this might happen! My escape route worked perfectly!" He stated with pride and confidence.
While Ultimate Wildmutt and his team dealt with everyone above, he'd make his escape out of the area and continue his work on another day. If there was one thing this experience had thought him, it was that he'll have to be more discrete in his business.
Every criminal in the Capital already knew about the mysterious being with the green and black hourglass. Bach knew better than anyone else that he and his goons didn't stand a chance against the 'Imperial Arms user' and his team which consisted of girls only.
Bach tried not to show his disgust/jealousy of the mysterious man behind the beast that attacked his base. He just had to keep going down the same hallway and meet with his other men stationed there, and from there get away.
However, there came a problem. As him and his men went onward, they came across bodies on the floor, and found that it was the bodies of his guards. They were lying on the floor, surprising sleeping, which angered and confused him.
"Are they sleeping?! Wake –" He was cut off when he saw someone approaching.
Though she was distance away, there was something about her that seemed familiar. It didn't matter; his two guards ran straight for her, confident that they could take her down.
"It's just a little girl!" shouted one of them.
"Let's take her out!" The other guard added.
"No! You fools, stop –" Again he was cut off, but for a different reason.
The blond girl may be smaller than them in height, but she was agile. When the first guard approached her with his blade out, he came with a dive, which the girl took advantage of. She jumped over him and marched her foot on the back of the head, in turn pushing him down as she used him as a stepping stone to move higher.
The first guard hit the ground with his face and broke his nose. He didn't get up right after that – though that didn't matter. The second guard watched her land a few feet away from him with his back facing her. Confident in his skills, and angered that she avoided an attack from his comrade, he moved his own blade straight for her back.
The girl moved out of the way without looking back. Before he could follow that up with another attack, the girl used her elbow to jam right into his stomach. He grunted from the hit and felt the pain. However, before he could respond, the girl did a sweep kick that knocked him to the ground, where she then stepped on his chest, knocking the air right out of his lungs.
The guard was knocked out in seconds, and now it was just the girl and Bach that remained. Not surprising, Bach was totally surprised by her moves, and was even scared when he finally saw her face. He knew her right away, and before a word could be said, he went on his arms and knees and bowed to her.
"SPARE ME, ARIA-SAMA!" He cried out as a plea.
Aria pushed some strands of hair at her face. Due to some circumstances involving Ben and his new team, she hadn't only changed from the psychopath she used to be, but she had acquired some skills thanks to the training from Spear and Eunice.
That wasn't the only thing that changed about her though. Her dress was gone, and now she wore a plain purple shirt, but with shoulder and chest plate armor to protect certain parts of her body. She also wore black pants, and green combat boots, as well as having her long hair cut to now be a short wavy blonde hair.
"Stand up, Bach. We have much to talk about." Aria said with a small scowl.
"A-Ah yes." Bach complied and was back on his feet. He was still scared of the girl in front of her, not just because of her skills, but also because of the past they shared. "I see you actually made it alive. It has been so long since we last saw each other. I'm…sorry for the loss of your parents. They were good –"
"Don't say that!" Aria cut him off in anger. She then calmed down and sighed, though the snarl on her face didn't change. "My parents were horrible people. If I knew that, I would've killed them myself. But right now that isn't the case. I'm here to correct the wrongs we made with you, Bach, the former slave of the Goodricke family."
"I don't understand." Bach was confused. "I served you and your family for many years. I am the way I am because of your guidance and generosity."
"And that's the problem." Aria's voice was low for a second. She then spoke up. "I want to change all that. What we did back then was very wrong, and should never have been taught to anyone, especially you. That is why I have an offer for you."
"An offer?"
"Yes." With that said, she revealed it. "Surrender peacefully, and I'll talk with my team's leader to consider having you work with us. You know many crooks that torture and kill people from the countryside, even more than I do. Now is your chance to do the right thing in your life."
"Right…thing." Bach's mood suddenly changed. He suddenly laughed and pulled out a gun from his coat. He then pointed it straight at Aria, who was shocked to see his weapon. "Are you fucking with me?! All my life I licked your boot like a dog, and now you're telling me to do the right thing?! I don't need to change, especially with the money I get, you wench! Now let's see if you can dodge a bullet, you small breasted bitch!"
"Small breasted?!" Aria was angry.
There was a level of skill that Aria had attained; however, it wasn't to the extent that she was fast enough to dodge a bullet. She knew that very well, and yet she was still angered that the man talked about her chest size.
Fortunately, the girl didn't have to do anything drastic, because a huge camo green hand broke through the ceiling to grab Bach. The young man screamed in fear and tried to shoot the hand as much as he could. When he saw it didn't faze the hand, he attempted to run away, only to then fail because it grabbed him and took him through the hole he created.
Whoever that the hand belonged to didn't seem to care for Bach's wellbeing. He was brought back to the same place he was with the Capital's enthusiasts, and was greeted by a frightening scene. The thing holding him captive was a twelve foot tall humanoid dinosaur-like creature, with dark blue armor similar to that of an Ankylosaurus.
Bach screamed when he saw the monstrous glare from the creature's green eyes. The gun was still in his hand, and with both hands free thus, he used the weapon to fire rapidly at the monster's face. To his shock, however, it did nothing to him.
"You done?" Ultimate Humungousaur asked rhteroically.
Bach quickly threw away his gun, the panic on his face very obvious. With the way his situation was, he knew he'd have to beg his way out. "W-Wait! H-Hear me out! There's a reason I'm this way! I h-hear you're some kind of hero, right?!"
Ultimate Humungousaur just stared at him, though the glare didn't change. Bach's panic became worse, and so he tore his shirt open to saw a special mark on his chest.
"LOOK! SEE! THIS IS A MARK BRANDISHED BY SLAVES! ARIA'S FAMILY DID THIS TO ME!"
"I know…" Ultimate Humungousaur said, but not in pity or sympathy. "Who do you think led us to you?!"
Bach's eyes widened in shock because the reality dawned on him. The reason they were in his base, how they knew its exact location, and what had become of his whole operation. Ultimate Humungousaur could see the look of fear in his eyes, and so he released him from his grip.
Bach screamed and hit the ground hard. His back hurt badly, but it wasn't anything close to the pain he had caused to many of his victims. When he sat up, he noticed a flash of light, and noticed Ultimate Humungousaur was replaced with an alien known as Toepick.
"Oh woe is me! I was a slave, so I had every reason to do torture and kill little girls!" Toepick began to approach him. Even though his face couldn't be seen because of the cage, his tone showed his anger. "Listen here, you piece of shit! Everyone in this damn world has gone through hell because of the empire, that doesn't mean you should drag innocent lives into your shitty lifestyle!"
"Y-Yes, I know that now." Bach said and fearfully looked around. Just a few feet away, he saw his gun, which gave him an idea. As Toepick began approaching him, he moved over to the ground while giving off the farce that he wasn't planning anything.
"Let's be reasonable about this. As an Imperial Arms user, I'm sure you have a human side, so let's talk about this. You want money, power or women? I'll give you anything, so just –"
His hand touched the gun, and he smiled. Judging from Toepick's appearance, it was clear to him that a bullet would be enough to kill him. However, before he could grab it, a purple heel stepped on it and caused him to yelp. He looked back and saw Sheele being the cause of the step on his hand, as well as Fall being carried on her back.
Fall was confused by most of what had happened up to this point. But when she saw Bach, the same man she and her friends had trusted, fearfully staring up at Sheele, she couldn't help but feel some satisfaction towards that.
"F-Fall!" Bach called out, and weakly smile. "H-Hey, Fall, help me here! Remember all the good times we had! I brought you and your friends food and clothes! Those weren't cheap, you kn – AAHHHHH!"
Sheele marched his hand strongly on the gun and kept on going. A few snaps were then heard before she removed her footwear from his hand, revealing his broken fingers. Bach was in tears at this point, both because of the unbearable pain, and because of the terrible sight that was his hand.
Looking up at Sheele, he couldn't help but feel terrified at her appearance. The glasses she wore reflected his terrified face, added to that was the silent and yet deadly aura coming from her.
'That look on her face, the way she stares down at me, it's like…she's looking down at garbage.' He thought.
Toepick grabbed the back collar of his shirt and lifted him off the ground. Before doing what he had to do, he turned over to Sheele and said. "Sheele, move away and don't look here, especially you." The last part was referred to Fall.
Sheele nodded and walked away from the area. She hadn't witnessed this alien form before, but knowing the power of the Ultimatrix, it must have something dangerous that Ben had to make sure she wasn't there to see it.
"W-What are you going to do to me?" Bach asked in fear.
"Remember how you enjoyed watching others in pain, how you were always at the top? Take a look at what you are in now, because I'm going to make sure you experience horrors so bad that it'll make you wish you were one of your victims." With that said, the cage hiding Toepick's face opened with steam coming out.
Fall immediately gripped Sheele's dress and pushed her face on to her. Even though they were distance away, she could hear evil laughter, screams and other frightening voices coming from the direction Bach and the monster were standing.
Speaking of the man himself, he saw the horror that was Toepick's face, and was released from his grip. Though he hit the ground, the pain felt like nothing compared to the horror he was staring at. Even as his entire body turned plain white, his eyes couldn't turn away, and soon he began to vomit the lunch he ate all over his body.
"S-Stay b-back! No more pl –" He vomited on himself again. At this point tears were flooding down from his eyes almost like a fountain.
The man couldn't take it anymore, and so he tried to run away. He failed, however, as his feet gave up on him, and he fell to the ground on his front. He could still hear the horrifying voices coming from it, and so he kept crying.
"K-K-Kill me…Please! I-I don't want any of this anymore!"
"You think that huh?" Toepick approached him and kicked him to lie on his back. Bach attempted to close his eyes, but the alien hero then picked him up by the collar and punched him in the gut. "Look at me! Look at me, you son of a bitch!"
Bach grunted out loud in pain, the saliva in his stomach coming out of his mouth. With his eyes forced open, he saw the horrors from before, and a pair of yellow devilish eyes that only Toepick could create.
"You're one heck of a wise guy by manipulating people and making them drop their their guards! But you made one mistake; you messed with children from the countryside!"
"M-Mercy! Please!" Bach pleaded.
"I bet a lot of those girls begged for mercy too! Did you give any of them that?!" Toepick pulled him closer to his face. When Bach was unable to give any respond, he had one last thing to say. "I'll take that as a no."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Bach lost control of his bowels.
_(LINE BREAK)_
Air abruptly sat up, panting heavily as her mind tried to recover from the nightmare she experienced. It took her a few seconds to calm down, and then realize that their environment was different.
She was on a hospital bed, which surprisingly was much comfortable than the one she had back in her village. Besides that, she noticed she was in some kind of white room, occupied by other beds, and weird machines she couldn't recognize.
None of it made sense, and she touched her cloth. Looking at what she was wearing, she found it to be some kind of white dress. Seeing it was a relief, but it almost reminded her that a while ago she had been stripped barely naked in front of men and a horny dog.
The thought made her shudder; it didn't help that she was scared when she realized that she didn't know who put the clothes on her. While she could say their act was out of kindness, the fact that someone undressed her and wore her some clothes was still a bit frightening.
The scene didn't end there though, because she noticed she wasn't the only one. Though there was no sight of Luna or Fall, she did see Sheele by her left side, sitting on a chair close by and asleep.
'Where is this? Where am I?' She wondered.
(CHAPTER END)
Oh yes, there're more coming after that! You thought this was just a one-chapter thing? Yeah, I thought so too until I started getting fresh ideas. That is why, I've decided to have it a three-part special to give the girls a good experience than what they canonically experienced. Besides, it doesn't settle well with me that they died possibly believing that all men are wolves.
If anyone is wondering how those guards were asleep when Bach showed up, it's due to the Teigu Aria wields (Yes, she has a Teigu). I had this whole different scene with her using it before I decided to change it.
Next chapter is going to go into depth in forming a relationship between Ben's team and the girls. It'll also reflect on how people like Spear, Sheele and Aria are the people they are currently. So to new readers, you can be self-assured that you'll get to understand to an extent on how Spear is carrying a longer version of Thor's hammer (or read the main fanfiction).
Last thing to say, I've decided to discontinue a fanfiction called "Same Universe, Different Outcomes" for a new Akame ga kill and Ben 10 crossover called "Akame ga kill: A kid hero in the world of corruption and death" or a fanfic in those categories with a different name. As you may guess, this will be about eleven year old Ben Tennyson in the world of Akame ga kill. The chapter will have Ben saving Air, Luna and Fall from Bach, and actually taking them with him on future adventures in the Capital.
How cool is that?! Not only will you get to see Bach and the Capital's enthusiasts get the shit beaten out of them again, but there'll be some romance between Ben and the girls. Of course, this upcoming fanfiction takes place before the tournament with Tatsumi, so don't expect Sheele, Spear, Eunice, Aria and Lucy to be around sadly. Night Raid will be involved though, including Chelsea and Susanoo (or however you spell that name).
Well that's all for now. Thank you for reading this chapter. If you REALLY want to see more of this special, please drop a review, click on the favorite and follow this story. See you next time!
