Action/Reaction - An Arknights Fanfic (Ongoing)

Chapter 24: Beyond Natural

[ No one's POV]

''So, what is Rhodes Island like?''

''We're a pharmaceutical company at heart, but in times like these we branch out into a multitude of different services. At least... thats what i understood about it, In simple terms we also fight.'' Y/n Sighed, as he jumped from building to building.

After they left the junkyard, Nian was to 'tired' to walk, so instead Y/n offered to give her a piggyback. In reality this was faster yes, but Y/n still hasen't recovered yet, They sometimes take breaks so he can get some strength back.

''Well, i could have guessed as much from how you fought back there. I'm more suprised by your weapons.'' 

As Y/n landed on a roof he stopped, before turning his head towards Nian ''What do you mean?''

''Well, I would have never guessed that your hammer could transform into a blade, one with an engine for that matter! Who made it for you?''

Y/n smiled as he put Nian down, as he stretched his arms ''Well i was, albeit not that the weapon was an idea when i needed it... it sorta happened. The hammer i just took from a construction site.'' 

Nian raised an eyebrow before she began to smile a bit ''You realy expect me to believe that? You couldn't even forge a proper knife back when you fought that walking armory... And you are telling me that you made that blade?'' She said sarcasticly

Y/n shrugged ''I still made the blade, believe it or not it is what it is.'' He said as he looked to the sky.

Rainclouds where forming, at this rate there will be rain in about 5 minutes. At this speed, they will be at Rhodes Island in 4. 

''Well can i have a look at it then?'' Nian questioned as she put her hand out.

Y/n nodded and gave her the blade, as she inspected every nook and cranny of the blade. As she did that Y/n looked around the streets down below, seeing a place this big so empty kind of reminded him of home.

As he then grabbed the broken grappling hook out of his backpack, he was thinking of ways to fix it. He'd like to fix stuff by hand this time since becoming independant of his powers doesnt sit right with him, If anything he still want's to know how to stuff manualy!

''Huh, im suprised..'' Nian began as she flipped the sword like a water bottle, only to catch it by the handle before continuing ''How has this thing not broken yet?'' 

This statement caused Y/n to raise an eyebrow ''Well, its a sturdy blade.. thats why?'' He semi asked himself. He honestly never knew anything bout smithing a good weapon... well apart from the usual guns and grenades and all. 

He was the kinda guy that would just stick with 'If it aint broke, dont fix it.'' or ''If it works, it works'' So he never bothered overthinking about his sword.

Y/n put his blade on his back ''What is it to you, My blade my problem... As for how it 'Hasn't broken yet.' I can create objects from solid matter, but only if i have ample knowledge of it.. However this weapon and my arm for that matter, where made in a rush of adrenaline a while back.'' As he looked at his arm, remembering that day it happened.

Nian crossed her arms ''I'll tell you this, that weapon of yours is gonna break one of these days....'' She sighed before continuing ''... Tsk, still it grinds my gears to see a weapon of that bad of a quality!'' As she walked towards the edge of the roof.

Y/n scoffed ''I never said my stuff is good quality, i mostly improvise at the spot or plan on the spot for that matter. Beggers cant be choosers in these times...''

As he looked at the horizon, he could see the storm approaching... ''We should get going... Unless you wanna get wet.'' He simply stated, causing Nian to look at the horizon as well. He then noticed his left arm was a bit out of position, as he began twisting his arm similair to how you screw something in place.
