Ch. 20 - Thorned Halloween

As they neared the station, Mayumi and a few other students called in a few helicopters for transport. Hiro could feel rumbling beneath his feet considering his connection with all earth-like matter, sighing. "I think that was enough time." He said lightly as he placed his hand onto the ground, "Six mechanized infantry in all." his demeanor changed fairly significantly already. The young man moved up to the Second Lieutenant, "Do you have what I requested?" his head tilted as she looked back, a male looking not too much older than himself approaching him and handing him an at least three foot long sword, thirty-nine inches of what would become pure carnage. "I think it's time I cut to the chase on what the punishment is for breaking our.. deal." he said as he then unsheathed, throwing the sheathe to the side as he then put it down blade-first. The mechanized units slowly inched towards him before stopping, the GAU had secondary operational priorities.

Hiro's escape from the East Germans made him a target and asset for the enemy countries. Due to the fact that one hadn't been seen since the 2040s, it was a given that they had forgotten just how powerful spike mages were. Steam began to rise from his body as a blue light then shined from his hand, slowly engulfing his body as a similar aura from earlier, which was observed on Tatsuya formed around him. "Time to play." He said lightly as he took the sword out of the ground and dragged it, a blue aura following him as he did so. One mechanized unit prepared to fire as he swung his sword nearly instantaneously, causing a line of spikes to fly out of the ground which impaled the unit in front of him. The remaining five units pushed towards him as Hiro then used the same method to take out three other units, leaving two. His leg moved as a stomp was seen, spikes emerging into the direction of the stomp, leaving one unit. This specific unit realized their circumstances and attempted to flee however, had their tracks impaled by spikes.

He jumped on top of this mechanized unit, prying open the top door before pulling the operator out by force. Hiro threw him across the street- jumping and slamming onto his back as he then snatched the mans arm and put it behind his back forcefully. "Nothing is more shameful... than the husk of a wounded soldier, yes?" The young and pretty much almost psychotic man asked as he began snapping the GAU man's fingers. He counted, one, two, three, four, five as he snapped his fingers. This was then brought up a level as he broke the mans arm beyond recognition; the pain was great enough to cause him to fall unconscious. Spikes emerged around him as he was quite literally transported onto the GAU's main ship once again, the crew staff panicking as it was now confirmed that a spike mage did exist. The helicopters began to arrive as a magically-charged swarm of locusts began to block it from evacuating any civilians, psion waves being used which made them all dissipate. Six black-suited soldiers floated in the skies, above, protecting them. "101st. I leave it to you!" Hiro looked up and yelled as he gained a recognitional nod from Captain Sanada, who was in his suit.

The younger Saegusa was the last one to climb onto the helicopter, sitting with everyone, hunched over in his seat looking at the floor of the transport. Silence. All that was heard within the vehicle was the hum of the rotor blades, with the students slowly processing what had happened. The chinook came to a stop over a few people, as they grabbed ropes and climbed on: Erika, Miyuki, Mizuki, Leo, and Mikihiko climbing onto the helicopter. Of course, Miyuki went to go check on Hiro, something looked fairly wrong with him as he sat there. A consoling hand was put along his as he barely even acknowledged it, with her cold hand slowly retracting. After a few minutes they began to slow down once again over a few more students, with Hiro approaching the ramp to the helicopter. "No one else go down. I'll deal with it." He said as his eyes observed two of his classmates.. nearly deceased. His legs pushed him out the second the ramp was open enough, with a slam being heard onto the ground. "You two did well..." was the statement he made as Kirihara and Kei laid on the ground bleeding out. One was overall missing his legs, the other being impaled by shrapnel. The same sword from earlier was then used like a javelin from purely the hilt as he threw it to impale their cover.
