Commander Hours [Punishing Gray Raven Fan-Fiction]

Volume 1: Chapter 9

"Hah..?" The commander looked at him with confusion.

"Yes, you heard me. Come with me cleanly or are we gonna do this the hard way?" Roland said, resting his blade on his shoulder.

"What if I refused?" Kimura asked.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you're dead or alive." Roland replied.

Lucia grips her blade harder as she gave him a glare.

"If you come cleanly I'll guarantee your life is not on the loose ends." Roland added.

'Commander...' Lee and Liv concernedly looked at him.

The commander slip out from Lucia's grasp as he took a few steps forward. He adjusted his hat before looking at him with a glare.

"I refused!"

"Nani?" Roland narrowed his eyebrows a bit.

"I refused to this proposal from what you called Queen of The Ascendants!"

Roland changes his usual smirk to a emotionless stare.

"You can go to hell with what you're so called Queen!" Kimura exclaimed.

Roland can feel the anger start to build up in his body as he curled his left hand with cracking machine noises and veins starts to peep out from his forehead.

"You got some nerves saying that in front my face.." Roland's tone began to change.

"Either you're brave or just stupid. That last shot was just a warning... and I don't miss!" Roland pulled out his rifle from his back and aims it the commander.

"Commander!"

"Watch out!"

Lucia, Lee and Liv was about to reach the commander, but Lucia got to him first as she pushed her commander out of the way from Roland's range.

Roland pulled the trigger of his rifle as sound of ear-piercing gunshot emitted from it. The bullet pierced through the air as it hits Lucia's right shoulder, piercing through her synthetic skin as red fluid starts to drip down from the gunshot wound.

"Kugh!" Lucia grunted as she stumble a bit.

"Lucia!"

"Tch..." Roland jerked his side-lip upwards.

"Damn you, Roland! I'll take you on myself!" Kimura stood up and charged towards Roland.

"Commander! Don't!" Liv exclaimed.

Roland aims the rifle at Kimura but before he pulls the trigger, Kimura got his hands on the rifle as he pushes him. Roland hold his ground as the commander keep pushing him.

"Rolaaaand!!!" He glares it him, he grips the rifle with more force to it.

"Krrggh..." Roland tries to push him back with all his mechanized strength but it budge only a little.

'What?! What an unbelievable strength! He's only a mere human!'

Roland gave up his left arm, Kimura fell forward as he grab his whip blade and swings it at him. Kimura saw this coming as the slash he managed to let go and dodge the slash. But it manage to scratch his forehead as blood starts dripping out from the wound.

Roland panted a bit before stares at the Gray raven commander.

"Guess you were much of a headache than I thought." Roland completely underestimate his manpower. Despite the blood dripping over his eyes, he keeps composure.
