Journey of the Last Demon and the Female Lieutenant

Chapter 63

(port)

David (standing near a submarine): Took your time.

Anna (and Keith wearing their soldier outfit while walking): It's Keith's fault this time.

Keith: I was talking with someone quickly.

David: Do you also have people being your eyes and ears?

Keith: We do. (looking at the submarine) What's that weird object?

Anna: I forgot you don't know all types of transportation. This is a submarine that allows us militaries to give orders underwater and have hidden rockets as weapons.

Keith: Dam.

David (while opening the door): The crew is ready to head out. (while entering) It's going to be a while so I'll show you the room we'll be chilling in.

(inside the submarine chilling room)

Keith (while walking in): Anna I'm done talking with David. (before noticing) He said it will take...

Sabrina (in Keith's mind while he's walking seeing Anna sleeping on a chair): Those late nights finally caught up to her.

Keith (in his mind standing near Anna): Has Anna not been sleeping well?

Sabrina: Anna has been worried about today's meeting. So these past two nights she had nightmares.

Keith (moves Anna's forehead hair to the side a bit): Poor girl. (see Anna opening her eyes) Sorry for waking you up.

Anna (half asleep while her eyes are half open): When did you get back?

Keith: Not that long ago. Why not sleep a bit longer?

Anna (moving her neck): I shouldn't.

Keith (once Anna grabs her neck when her eyes turn red): You need blood. Quickly take some of mine.

Anna (while standing): I'll be fine. (walking away) Just don't be near me right now.

Keith (watching Anna walk away): But...

Anna (interrupting after putting her hand on the door): Please Keith.

(hallway)

Sabrina (in Anna's mind while she leans on the wall): Anna you can't resist the thirst for blood. As a Vampire Queen, you need to drink blood or you'll lose control.

Anna (started walking while her eyes returned to normal after moving her hand): I can't drink Keith's blood. I'll do my best to stay in control before I lose my mind.

Sabrina (in her mind): But will you even last until tomorrow?

(chilling room)

David (look at Keith after entering): Where's Anna?

Keith (sitting up after leaning on the chair looking at the ceiling): She went to her room to rest.

David: I see. I hope she feels better once we arrive.

Keith (looking at David): If this meeting doesn't go well what do you think will happen?

David: Well you'll have half of the military against you but some may not attack.

Keith: But most of the military will and they won't stop until we're dead.

David: You still have me and Yoruichi at your side even if we become enemies.

Keith: But wouldn't that make you two traitors?

David: So what? We're all humans, not slaves. We decide who we want to help.

Keith: Thank you.

(Anna's room)

Sabrina (spirit form (while Anna lies on her bed having her left arm covering her eyes without her coat and boots off)): Feeling better?

Anna: Yeah. (while sitting up) That suppression magic you put on me helps. Hopefully, it can last until the end of the day.

Sabrina (while Anna put her shoes on): I don't think it will last that long.

Anna (putting her coat on after standing): Then I just have to hold on until I need Keith's blood.

(hallway in front of Anna's door)

Anna (surprised after the door opens): Keith.

Keith: Sorry for surprising you but David said we're about to arrive.

Anna: Alright. (in her mind) I must have been asleep longer than I thought. (after looking at Keith) What's wrong?

Keith: You sure you're going to be able to do this?

Anna (while walking): Yes. Sabrina was nice enough to suppress it for a while. (while Keith follows) However, if I need you I'll let you know.

(control room)

David (turns around after the door opens): Feeling better Anna?

Anna: I am. Sorry for worrying you.

Keith (looking at the view after looking forward): So this is the hidden location?

The submarine just came out of the water heading towards a triangle building seeing other ships entering before passing a hidden barrier.

David (started walking towards the door): Follow me.

Keith (and Anna follow David from behind): I felt something when we passed.

Anna: You felt the hidden barrier that hides this base. When I was young I was told by the general that this base has a rare magic orb that allows a small area to be invisible. So they had this base made as a secret location or a safe zone.

(hallway)

Keith: Magic orbs?

David: These magic orbs are very rare to find in caves. So far that's the only orb that still has power but once in a while, the general has to put some of his magic into the orb to keep the barrier working.

Keith (in his mind): This general must need a huge amount of magic but how much do they have?

(inside barrier in triangle building port)

Keith (after Anna put her uchikatsugi hat on): Why did you put your hat on? I thought you weren't hiding your identity.

Anna: I want to make other captains think I'm still human.

David: Like how you tricked me?

Anna: Exactly.

Yoruichi (from a distance running towards them): Anna!
