A large mecha plodded across the field, heading toward the north end of the school.
"Just let me take care of them," Isao Ohta radioed the security team.
Captain Aino's voice responded, "Constable Ohta! Hold on-"
"And wait for you to transform?! I don't think so!" Ohta growled.
"Look, just don't damage the school. Alright?" this time it was Sergeant Stulfut.
"Just let me do my job!"
"Right. Just don't make us have to send another clean-up crew. This place isn't exactly low maintenance."
"Alright already!!" Ohta shouted before shutting off the radio, "Jeez."
As he neared the north wing, Vash had just barely exited and was running toward another building. Soon following were five or so soldiers, shots being exchanged between them and Vash.
"Hold it!" Ohta's voice boomed, "Drop your weapons and nobody gets hurt."
Vash continued running as the five soldiers stopped dead in their tracks.
"Are you guys deaf?!" Ohta demanded, "Drop 'em!"
A freak gust of wind caught a rock on the roof of the school, throwing it off and panging it against Isao's mecha. To Ohta, it felt like a gunshot.
"ALRIGHT!" Ohta roared, "THAT DOES IT! I GAVE YOU YOUR CHANCE!!!"
The mecha lifted up it's riot gun, the finger squeezing on the trigger. A hail of large bullets converged on the five soldiers' position, creating a dust cloud tinged with red. After a few minutes, he ran out of ammo. Ohta realized he was sweating from the rage, and panted for breath. The constable was suddenly aware of a tapping on his window. Looking to the left, he saw Sergeant Stulfut knocking.
"This is why you'll never make Corporal," the Sergeant waggled his finger.
The mecha nearly fell over in surprise, but Ohta recovered quickly, "Didn't you see that? They *SHOT* me!" Ohta shouted.
"Er... no," Stulfut shook his head, "The only shots fired when you became involved were from you."
Ohta scowled, "They didn't drop their weapons anyway!"
"Right." |
