I don’t want to be here. A place where dreams are killed and enslaved.
“Hashi!”
Hashi: “Y-yes sir?”
“Get your blue-haired ass out of the clouds and listen to your orders!”
Hashi: “Yes Sir!”
“Good grief, your grandfather owes me a lot for letting you of all people on this ship. Now as I was saying you are to help guard the cells of the mythics. Don’t touch anything or do anything stupid.”
Hashi: “Yes Sir.”
I took the weapon from him and went to stand at my post. I could barely hold this thing knowing that it’s the same type of weapon that kills mythics.
I made it to my post and the first thing I noticed was the uncleaned walls and floors. Do these people have no shame. I refuse to even acknowledge the claw marks everywhere.
“Oh is that the sympathizer?”
“Well I’ll be damned, it is him. Who else would dye their hair that color?”
Well I should except this. Just smile and wave Hashi, smile and wave.
Hashi: “Why hello, fellow crew-mates.”
“So we’re stuck with you huh? Oh well, as long you do your job, we won’t have to throw you in with those creatures.”
Hashi: “You have nothing to worry about. I’ll just stand here and do nothing.”
“You better.”
*Sigh* Hope they ignore me until we get to the island.
What am I doing here? Wearing their uniforms, holding their weapons. Why did things end up this way.
*Alarms*
“We are being attacked! Everyone to your battle stations!”
And here I thought I could just stand here. The other guards hurried to their stations.
“You! Just stay there and keep those creatures contained.”
Hashi: “Roger that.”
I say in the most unenthusiastic voice possible. His irritated face was worth the effort. At least I get to stay put. The only ones that would attack this ship is those that still fight for the mythics and I don’t want to fight them. I slump down with my weapon and wait for the explosions to end.
*15 Minutes in*
This is actually getting unbearably. My ears feel like they are about to burst. Just when I was about blank out I see a tightly dressed girl? Boy? Run past me.
“What are you doing Hashi! Chase her!”
You told me to stay put though. I reluctantly got up and chased them. I don’t have much of a choice.
Hashi: “Yes Sir.”
“We have to hurry, she’s trying to free the big guy.”
Big guy?
“Damn, a split. You go left and I go right.”
I nodded and started down the path and not even 5 minutes in I needed to take off my uniform, it was boiling down here. I continued with only my blue t-shirt and black pants.
After around some more time and explosions I found the guy we’re looking for. I have no intention of hurting them so I just quietly followed.
It seemed that they felt this heat too and so they took off the mask to reveal a girl with short black hair.
After some time we finally came to the room emanating all that heat and we found a-
“Lord Dragon.”
A-Honest-to-God-Dragon! I can barely contain my excitement, I saw them on TV but never in real life and not alive.
But something is wrong, where’s his wings?
“Hashi what are you doing!?”
Startled I look towards the captain and I was not the only one. The girl looked at him and then at me.
“Look out!”
The girl rushed me with a sword, I put up the weapon to defend myself. Darn it, I did not want this to happen.
“You will not stop me.”
She’s not weak, I was forced to my knees. She knocked away my weapon and was about to stab me but I heard a shot ring out and then she fell, dead.
“You okay.”
You killed her?
“Hashi?”
Why did you have to kill her?
“Hashi?”
Why are you-
“Hashi!”
I snapped out of it and noticed the captain’s outstretched hand, I took it.
“She must have been one of those Dragon worshipers. Keep your thoughts clear and I won’t have to put you down too.”
Hashi: “Yes.”
I understand.
The captain went to the phone on the wall.
“Hello! Someone tell me the situation.”
“Sir! We are getting overwhelmed here. We can survive but not without losing mythics and going back to base for repairs and to resupply.”
“Negative! Shoot them to the island.”
“Sir?!”
“We must complete this mission and I rather have these creatures die at sea then get rescued by those terrorists.”
“Yes sir.”
“Hopefully they get to the island, command would not be pleased losing these particular mythics to the sea. Come on Hashi this room will soon be shot towards one of the god islands.”
The captain hanged up and motioned towards the exit. I looked back to the Dragon. Why must it be like this?
As I was about to exit my feet was gripped by something.
“Hashi!”
The Door closed with the captain safely on the ship. The countdown to the ejection began. I tried to get out of her grip but she still had strength left.
“You shall give strength to the Dragon.”
As a snack?!
I looked back and saw the captain gone. I guess I was expendable. The grip loosened enough for me to fall out of it.
The girl looked at me smiling and then died right in front of my eyes.
*Alarms*
The room shook and then boom, a sudden force propelled me towards the end of the room. My body felt crushed by force of inertia so much so that I thought I would die but after some more shaking I felt a massive jolt and the ride was over. I struggled to get up, I felt like I did not even have legs but after struggling I forced myself up and walk towards the exit to see where I was.
*Clank*
Before I could reach the handle, the whole door was ripped off and at that instant my heart both leaped with excitement and sank with fear. Before me was an Azure Dullahan, Yellow Kirin along with a Female Arachnid and they did not look happy to see me.
