My Cerberus Girlfriend

Book Four: Chapter 15

Cilla sat in the back of the Chinook, her heart racing with anticipation as they soared over Tokyo. She couldn't help but feel a rush of excitement at the prospect of facing off against Cthulhu and Eris. It was what she was trained for, what she had been born to do.

As they drew closer to the city, her excitement turned to horror. The landscape below was a nightmare, with half of Tokyo reduced to rubble. Smoke billowed from the ruins, casting an eerie haze over the city.

"Good lord," Roger muttered, his eyes wide with shock. "What the hell happened here?"

Cilla's voice was grim as she spoke up. "Looks like a war zone. But where are all the people?"

Rolf's voice was solemn as he explained. "Most of the population of Tokyo was evacuated hours ago. Most, but not all."

Katina opened her eyes and grinned at her teammates. "Which means Cthulhu and Eris are still there. I can't wait to try squad sushi!"

Roger nodded, his eyes burning with determination. "We'll be ready for whatever comes our way."

As the Chinook descended towards the landing strip, the team braced themselves for impact. But they weren't prepared for what happened next.

A loud screeching sound filled the air as a creature with wings attacked the helicopter. Tentacles wriggled below its belly, and long, sharp claws adorned its hands.

"Everyone brace for impact!" Roger shouted as the creature slammed into the aircraft, destroying one of the rotors.

The Chinook spun out of control, hurtling towards the ground. Cilla clung to her seat, praying for survival.

When they finally hit the ground, there was a deafening crash as the impact sent the team hurtling through the air. The Cerberus women landed hard on the ground, their ears ringing with the sound of the explosion. They looked around, dazed and disoriented, to see the wreckage of the helicopter strewn all around them.

"Is everyone okay?" Cilla shouted, trying to get her bearings.

"I'm alive, but I think I broke my leg," Agent Rolf groaned. "Ack! It will heal."

Katina widened her eyes and looked around. "Where's Roger?"

They searched the wreckage, but there was no sign of him.

"Roger!" Cilla called out, her voice trembling with fear. "Where are you?"

No answer came.

"We have to find him," Labda said urgently. "We don't know what else is out there."

As they made their way through the wreckage, the team realized they were not alone. Strange creatures lurked in the shadows, their eyes glowing with an otherworldly light.

"Deep Ones…" Agent Rolf muttered, his gun at the ready.

Cilla glanced at him. "Deep Ones?"

"Cthulhu's minions. They're not as strong as him, but they're dangerous."

Katina grinned. "I love danger."

Cilla agreed, but they had to find Roger, and they had to find Cthulhu - no matter what it took.
