Iron-Blooded Devil

Reveal

Mikazuki

Mikazuki: Twenty Three.

They spat out their specific drinks.

Issei: holy fuck!? Damn but why the fuck you look like you're sixteen?!

I felt my brow twitch at his comment.

Mikazuki: that's because I take care of my looks and I'm naturally handsome... That's what Atra kept telling me....

Mumbling the last part they continued to barrage me with questions.

Sona: and this "business" you speak about?

Mikazuki: Transportation.... And the occasional blood bath.

I can almost feel Sona stopping herself from frowning.

Sona: and how many years you've been doing that?

I wonder how many years was it.

Mikazuki: Thirteen years.

Again most of them spat their drinks.

Kiba: no wonder you're so adept at killing... Must be hard.

Mikazuki: listen Kiba, in my world. It's kill or be killed, it's literally always with you like your conscience.

Akeno: how many have you already killed?

Mikazuki: lost count... Stopped at hundred and fifty thousand.

Rias: no hesitation once so ever.

Mikazuki: Hesitation gets you killed, and I never hesitate.

Sona: spoken from experience?

Mikazuki: too much experience of you ask me.

Rias: so when did you join this business of yours?

Mikazuki: didn't join by choice, we were taken as children and started growing our "whiskers"

Barbara: those three things on your back, don't they feel uncomfortable?

Mikazuki: sometimes, but I got used to it.

Sona: what are these "Whiskers" real name? And no bullshit answers!

Well... first time seeing her mad... not really, she's always mad.

Mikazuki: Alaya Vijnana.

Sona: and that do exactly what?

Mikazuki: you could say, it's like a wire/mod. A wire because it "connects" a pilot to a Gundam, and a modification because it enhances our awareness... and I can notice the slightest wind change if I focus well enough.

Sona: I see, that would explain how you impossibly moved with such flexibility on sheer self training alone.

Barbara: but how do you "grow" them exactly?

I sighed.

Mikazuki: children getting man handled to a surgical table with our backs facing them, dirty tools used to cut us open and attached the machine to our backs.

They look like they're about to vomit.

Mikazuki: heh, for devils you have weak stomachs. Should I mention that we didn't get any anesthetics?

With that, Issei ran out holding his mouth about to vomit.

Kiba: fuck, don't ever tell us that story.

Rias: language *swallows* Kiba *shudders* Oh my Maou... I feel like I'm gonna be sick.

Asia fainted from shock, Koneko looked very disturbed, Sona is trying to hold back vomit, Barbara is hiding her emotion but the eyes tell otherwise, and Akeno is surprisingly disgusted and horrified on what I had experienced.

Koneko: Rias.

Koneko ran over to her and hugged Rias tightly with eyes wide with fear.

Seems like for a Kuudere, give enough fuel then the fire burns bright.

Sona: h-how did you *gulps* survive that?

I sighed, looking at Asia who is clinging to Issei who came back like a lifeline.

Mikazuki: pure will and sheer determination to live, let's leave this discussion as it is. I don't want seeing Asia and the others getting even more traumatized.

I glared at the door.

Mikazuki: you know Tsubaki-san, eavesdropping is not nice.

Sona, confused at what I said. Came over and opened the door to find Tsubaki on the floor in shock and is covered in a bit of bile from vomiting.

Sona quickly dragged her inside and used Asia's ability having recovered a bit.

I walked over to the window and watched the town getting slowly repaired.

Barbara: so, is this life worth it?

Mikazuki: no, it is not.

Barbara: then why go forward?

Mikazuki: because I gave Mars freedom, independence, and pride. With our actions, we changed the world, we gave Mars people a better life, and with that. Me and Tekkadan stopped a war.

Barbara: war?

Mikazuki: a Mars Earth war, big enough to wipe the remains of the moon if came true. Might even end up destroying the colonies and the planets.

Sona came over and sat next to me.

Sona: sorry for doubting you Mikazuki, and sorry for that outburst.

This is a surprise.

Mikazuki: think nothing of it, being vigilant saved my ass a lot of times.

Barbara: so what are you planning now?

Mikazuki: simple, find a way back home.

Sona: you really miss them huh?

Mikazuki: yes, and also because I am going to be a father. Our child should be at least be born now or a few years old already.

The others who just came back from my past reveal, had their eyes wide again.

Sona: what?

Mikazuki: as a soldier, I do not know when I'll be gone forever, so she decided to go ahead and ask me to do it, at first I refused, but she confessed to me and she really won't let go. So I ended up having sex with her, I don't regret it because it gave me an even more bigger reason to fight.

Barbara: and this "she" is?

I sighed.

Mikazuki: Atra, the woman I had sex with.

With that, they all went to shock and promptly rebooted their brains.

A little short but, so far this is my point. Busy with life and school most of the time so yeah, sorry everyone. SOUL out! Will do my best to work on my other books as well.
