Pull The Trigger (Soul Eater Boys x Reader)

Chapter 8: Automail?

Before you ask, yes, I've been watching too much Fullmetal Alchemist! I admit it! Anyway, let's get this started..!

~Jennicah's POV~

I woke up with an aching pain in my right arm and left leg. On top of that a headache... I lifted up my hand to grasp my head, but when I saw my arm, my eyes widened.

My arm... It was completely metal! And mechanical! I lifted up the covers of the Hospital bed, and saw the same for my leg. They were both machines--

All I remember was drawing in my room when someone came into my room through the window.

The next thing I knew, I was out like a light. I tried sitting up, but pain held me down. What happened to (Y/n)? I heard her voice last night, but I couldn't see anything...

"You're awake," I heard a familiar voice ask. More-or-less stated.

Professor Stein walked in, clipboard in hand. I nodded and put on my glasses. I grabbed a Sketchbook, and wrote a message down.

'What happened? What happened too my real arm and leg?'

"(Y/n) says that a Witch named Melaina cut off your limbs last night. But we don't know that for sure, she isn't awake yet; she was talking in her sleep," he informed.

'Oh, thanks,' I wrote.

"You should stay off the leg for a few days to let the mechanics fully set," he wrote down a few things on his clipboard. "So use these, I recommend for about a week,"

He handed me a set of crutches. I thanked him as he left the room. I set the crutches off to the side, and looked around.

I found that my normal clothes had been washed and freed from any blood stains. I grabbed them, and changed from my Hospital Gown into my clothes.

I also noticed that my bandages were off. Shoot... They must know then... And after all that work to keep the secret!

I mentally face-palmed and mutely sighed. '(Y/n) isn't gonna be too happy about this...' I thought.

I grabbed the crutches, used them for support, and stood up. I "walked" around the room a little just to get used to the movement.

Once I had that down, I made my way into the hallway. Once I exited the room, I saw Maka, Soul, Kid, Liz, Patty, Tsubaki and BlackStar sitting on the bench outside the Hospital rooms.

Tsubaki was the first to notice that I was standing there. "Jennicah! You're okay!" She bolted up and engulfed me into a hug.

I just grinned with slight embarrassment, and hugged her back.

Everyone else stood up with relieved smiles. "How's the arm and leg working?" Maka asked.

I grabbed her hand and wrote, 'Fine..! But Professor Stein says to use these crutches for about a week to let the mechanics to fully set in my leg,'

She nodded and pulled her hand away. But we were all startled by the sudden yelling from the other room.

"Whoa! What the heck?!" That was (Y/n)'s voice!

~Your POV~

"Whoa! What the heck?!" I yelled as I moved the covers and saw my leg.

It was fully made of metal! I didn't know what too do, I'd never had a mechanical leg before..!

Suddenly, Soul, Maka, Kid, Liz, Patty, BlackStar and Tsubaki came rushing in. Jennicah behind them with crutches, but her arm and leg were the same as mine!

"What's going on?" Maka asked.

"Sorry, I guess I just freaked out when I saw my leg..!" I apologized as I rubbed the back of my head with a sheepish grin.

"Yeah, Jennicah's got it too," Soul pointed. As I saw before, her right arm and left leg were entirely made up of machines.

Melaina sure did a number in us didn't she? But why now? How did she find us? So many questions flooded my mind that the new thoughts didn't make any sense.

"So you're awake now," Professor Stein walked through the door. "And both you and Jennicah are probably wondering about the arm and legs, right?"

We both nodded. Stein turned the bolt in his head and sighed. Also putting down his clipboard he was carrying.

"The design is called Automail. Normally it'd just be called "bionic", but this is a special design," he explained.

"How is it different from any other bionic limb?" I asked.

"There're compatible with your Weapon and Meister bodies. For example, Jennicah's arm and leg will also turn into the assigned Weapon during Transformation," he pointed at Jennicah's arm and leg as he said so.

"And yours (Y/n), has better movement reflexes. So when you're running or any type of movement, the joints will react quicker than other models,"

We both nodded, but then Maka spoke up. "So will (Y/n) have to use crutches too?"

"No, (Y/n)'s was already pre-made, so it's fully functional. But we had to make Jennicah's,"

We went through all the design details and how to repair any damages the Automail may  take during battle. After that was settled, Stein said me and Jennicah should stay in the Hospital beds for until tomorrow.

We agreed, and Jennicah went back too her room. The others said their goodbyes and left for class.

I can't believe all of what's happened ever sense I've came too this World...

~Soul's POV~

I couldn't focus on the lesson being taught... Not after what happened too (Y/n) and Jennicah.

I hurt me a little inside too see them like that, especially (Y/n)... If it weren't for that Witch Melaina or whatever her name is, she'd still have her normal body.

I swear, if I ever cross paths with that Witch I'll tear her limbs off!

~Kid's POV~

The thought of (Y/n) and Jennicah's Automail wouldn't leave my mind... I couldn't help but feel sympathy for them both, especially (Y/n).

I wonder how she's actually feeling about her bionic leg... She seemed fine at the Nurses Office/Clinic. But I'm not so sure that's what she really believes...

That Witch Melaina made her miserable, and if I ever meet her, she's gonna be put in her place!

~BlackStar's POV~

I clenched my fist, making my hand bleed slightly because of my fingernails digging into my skin.

But that Witch- what's-her-name, Melaina- is gonna pay for what she did to (Y/n)! Nobody does that too my friends! Or my future Goddess!

I swear, if I ever meet her, the first person she'll meet is my fists!

Whoa there guys! Don't go crazy! Anyway, thanks for reading, and I'll see you in the next chapter!
