Strawberry and Valkyries [HI3] [Bleach]

Tuna Meets Strawberry

[High Honkai signals detected. Alert. Alert. Citizens should evacuate immediately. Please evacuate immediately. Please evacuate immediately.]

Throughout the city, panic erupted. Structures were destroyed by Honkai Beast who breached into the city. Chaos ruptured and terror filled the area.

"I'm off!"

"Be careful out there, don't go rushing head-on into a strong battle."

"Mei-Senpai, you know me already, you worry too much~"

"That's the problem. I know how you are."

"Exactly. And you should know that I'll be fine~!" Kiana Kaslana smiled as she looked back at Raiden Mei. "Good luck on your part as well, Mei-Senpai!" She waved goodbye to the longer-haired Valkyrie who shook her head sideways at the white-haired Valkyrie's attitude she has long since grown accustomed to.

"Good luck... Stay safe..." She whispered as the white-haired Valkyrie was already long gone, having jumped down the aircraft and downward towards the city. She proceeded to move on, feeling the intense air breeze that blows her hair around in every direction.

["We've neared the location. You're now ready to deploy down."]

"Yes, Ms. Himeko."

["I can see something is troubling you."]

"Do you think it was the right choice, sending Kiana out on her own?" She doesn't wish to doubt Kiana, but it's a question she simply can't help but ask regardless. To her, Kiana is...

["Kiana is still young and immature, regardless of that, she can take care of her own. She will be fine, although I won't argue that she has places to grow. If something does happen, then she will learn from those mistakes. Let it be a lesson. There will be others nearby, so she should be safe as well."]

"..." She remained quiet for a bit at the words that Himeko said to her. She went ahead and stared down at the city below. "Although I don't think bad of your decisions, I can't help but worry..."

["There's nothing wrong with worrying. But, at the same time, you must also learn to put your trust in others and believe in them. That's why, you must push all worry away, and have confidence in those around you. If you do, you will have a collective and calm mind, allowing you to focus better as well."]

"Push all worry and have confidence huh...?" Mei whispered as she closed her eyes and calmed herself. The connection to Himeko cut off and she opened her eyes. She continued to stare down at the city as she saw the Honkai Beast. Her gaze furrowed as she gripped her sword strapped to her side, and jumped off.

"Ha! And Mei-Chan was worried about me being alone!" Kiana smirked as she ran through the city roads. The place was in shambles as cars were in ruins. Either flipped over, destroyed, in flames, or all three together. She shot forth with her dual pistols at the Archer zombie who fell once her bullets made contact. She didn't let the Archer have the chance to release an attack on her.

Too easy!

"W-Woah!" Kiana dodged the slash from a Scythe as one of the zombies tried to attack her when she was lost in thought for a moment. She shot forth with her pistols at the zombie but frowned when the zombie dodged unlike the previous. "Mm...! Why couldn't it have stayed still like the previous one?" She looked around and noticed that more zombies began creeping up around her.

Kiana stood in the center as she noticed they surrounded her. She straightened herself despite seeing the disadvantage she was in. Immediately, she was rained down by multiple arrows as she ran out of the way. As soon as she ran towards her left, a Razor Claw zombie threw herself at her with a high jump, bringing its claws down at her.
