White Hoodie (An AruAni AU)

Chapter 18: Aftermath

After she opened the door, I stayed a bit back from it before pushing it towards Annie's face.

It wasn't a direct hit so she was still fully conscious, swinging me down as I tried to throw a punch on her.

I grabbed her by her legs tightly as she kicked my chin with her other leg, and I can feel a slight crack sound there.

Even my jaw broke, but I don't feel any pain, because I'm fighting!

Annie got the upper hand as almost all her direct hits managed to land on my body.

"Fucking hell." She snarled as she carried me from her back and throw me towards the wall.

The impact was largely felt and my back got injured too.

"How long more do we have Mike?"

"2 more minutes, until we can release the RDD."

"Alright, that's good, like I've said I'll pay you the money once- OUCH! AAAAAHHHHHH!"

With the pistol still with me, I shot it straight at her right shin as she collapsed on the ground moaning in pain.

"MISS LEONHART!"

"JUST IGNORE ME AND CONCENTRATE ON THE DAMN PLANE! UGH ROT IN HELL ARMIN!"

I awkwardly stood up and walked towards a limping Annie who held towards the backrest of a passenger's seat.

Trying the pistol straight at her other leg, I realised I was down in the dumps.

"Looks like you ran out of bullets h-huh?" The Leonhart gave me a sinister grin: "Piece of shit I can take you out with one leg."

Dashing forward and sliding towards her leg, she made a strong hop and stomped her still working left feet on my shin.

"UGH!'"

The lack of balance also caused Annie to fall onto me as I turned her around and gave her a straight blow to her nose.

Using her right foot again and kicking my groin, she got up and did the same nose blow to me and intentionally hit my elbow wound.

"AHH!" With that, I forcefully pinned my whole body down on her on the floor.

"30 MORE SECONDS!"

I then realised the detonator was in her pocket all along which I subsequently failed to snatch it away as she managed to throw it inside the cockpit.

"MIKE YOU DO IT INSTEAD! I CAN'T HOLD THIS GUY FOR LONG! ONCE YOU ARM IT, GET READY TO FIRE!"

"Roger!"

"No you fucking DON'T!" As I got up and rushed towards the cockpit, Annie held me shin tightly which made me trip: "FUCK OFF!"

Thankfully the pilot wasn't able to close the door as he had to concentrate on his driving, and I had no choice but to repeatedly strike the base of my feet onto her face to let loose of her grip.

"10 MORE SECONDS!"

SHIT!

Losing my patience I planted the most Herculean kick onto her bloodied and swollen face which she finally decided to give up.

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

~~

"NOT SO FAST!"

Hence, I finally ended this battle by reloading my new magazine and aimed the pistol onto the detonator which destroyed its function: "I did have another bullet with me. Mission successful..."
