Tracy's POV
I wake up to a dark room, I can no longer feel Lynne's warmth beside me, and when I roll over to face where Lynne should be laying, I see nothing but the darkness of an empty room. I sit up to look around the rest of the room to find anything as far as I know in its place and wrapped in darkness, I look out of the window hoping to see the sun rising over the horizon to light up this darkness, but I only see more darkness.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three loud bangs echo through the halls nearly making me jump out of my skin, look to the door and find it shut.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more bangs echo through the halls. I must go see what the banging is, I don't want to, but something is drawing me towards the bangs, some powerful unseen force wants me to find what's coursing them.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more bangs much closer now ring out as I grip the door handle, they so powerful that I feel the door handle vibrate in my hand with each bang. I immediately drop the door handle a back away from the door as my heart skips a beat. I want to just crawl under the covers again, but that unseen energy has a strong grip on me, and I can't resist it, I walk to the door and open it up as fast as I can knowing that the slower I open it the more scared I would become.
As soon as the doors open I jump into the corridor to find it pitch-black and something wet and slippery covering the floor. I look down the corridor in both directions but see nothing, to my right darkness, to my left more darkness, and now a horrible rotten smell is getting stronger by the second fills the corridor.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three more bangs ring out to my right; they are louder, more violent and a lot closer than before. I look to my right and see the lights on the walls light up one by one moving away from me into the distance. They light up the area right to the other end of the corridor, and when they light up a figure at the end, my heart skips a beat.
The figure is small, wearing a blood-soaked white nightgown with blood dripping from her body onto the floor. It is now I realize what has caused the floor to be wet and slippery; I look down to see the floor covered in dark red blood which now covers my feet with a thick wet layer of red. When I look back up my eye's lock with the girl's eye's that are still darker, then black and her stare fills me with dread and terror.
Her lips turn up into a smile as if she can sense my growing fear and my entire body starts to shake. Why is she doing this to me? Why appear before me when I'm sure she knows I can't face her after what I did?
The girl slowly walks towards me and every time she passes a light bulb it smashes leaving nothing but darkness behind her to match her eyes. Her pace is slow and steady as if she's savoring the moment and enjoying my fear. I move my shaking hand to the doorknob hopping to let myself back into Lynne's room before the girl reaches me, but when I manage to find the doorknob, I find that Lynne's door is locked. I try backing up, but my back hits a wall, a concert wall that wasn't their moments ago and traps me with the girl who carries on her slow advance towards me.
I'm shaking so much now that I can hear the floor start to vibrate and my breath, I can't seem to catch my breath no matter how hard, or much I breathe. My legs give out from under me, and I fall to the ground getting covered in blood that splashes up from the puddle I landed in. The girl gets closer and closer never slowing or speeding up her advance, and her smile never leaves her face for a second.
The rotten smell is now making me gag, oh god it smells so bad, it's the girl, the rotten smell is coming from her, and with every step, she takes the smell gets a lot worse. I think I'm going to be sick. First seeing that girl, a girl from a past, I'm not proud of, and now blood covered floors and a rotten smell that's only getting worse. I really do think I'm…
"Your pathetic Tracy," The girl say's as she stops right in front of me and I finally do throw up, her breath is so bad, it's like something literally died in her mouth. "Just look at you, actually puking in fear."
I look up at her, even though she's small. I still have to look up at her sitting on the floor like I am.
"P… Please just… Just leave me alone… Please," I beg in fear of my life as I do my best not to break eye contact with the girl and vomit again. "Please."
"Why should I do that?" The girl replies as she draws a mace with razor-sharp spikes and a heavy, strong looking ball where the spikes attach too.
What is she going to do with…? Wait she's going to… Please don't use… Oh god please, please god don't let her hit me with that thing. She raises the mace above her head, and I'm left speechless at the sight of the deadly weapon baring down on me that I can't move, can't speak or do anything to protect myself from the painful blow soon to strike me for my past mistakes.
"It's what you deserve!" She screams.
"Noooooo!" I scream myself awake with. I lay still on the bed too afraid to look around in case I see the girl with the mace again preparing to finish me off. I slowly work up the courage to look around though, and after a deep breath I sit up and scan the room to find it empty and through the window, I can see the sun start to rise. I look around and can't spot any sign of Lynne. I wonder where she could be. "Lynne."
"Yes," I hear Lynne's voice reply through the door. What is she doing up and about so early? "Can you open the door for me I have my hands full?"
"Yeah, I am coming," I tell her as I stretch myself out before getting to my feet. "So, what are you doing so early in the morning?"
"It's a surprise I show you when you open the door" Lynne answer as I open the door and in an instant, I know something is wrong, Lynne isn't holding anything in her hand and she isn't lazy enough to not be bothered to open a door. "Thank you."
"Um, Lynne I thought you said you had your hands fall," I say as Lynne steps into the room closing the door behind her. "So, what's the surprise?"
"This" Lynne replies not in her own voice but in the voice of the girl how haunts my dreams, I watch in horror as Lynne turns into the little girl and her clothes become blood-soaked. Lynne or the little girl or whoever this is then pulls out a giant spiked mace at least twice as big as the one before and raises it above their head, as they bring the mace down whoever it is screams. "It's what you deserve!"
I wake up covered in a cold sweat and wrapped in Lynne's arms who's looking at me with a worried, concerned look on her face. I can't breathe, my lungs refuse to fill with air no matter how much I breathe, my hands won't stop shaking, and I'm sure my whole body would be shaking uncontrollably if it wasn't for Lynne holding me. Lynne just remains silent as she holds me, she knows I don't need words of comfort to calm me down just her hugging me along with my mother's calm breathing technique.
Its ok I just need to calm down, I breathe in and out reminding myself it was just a dream and that the girl can't hurt me. It's not that I don't deserve what she does to me in my nightmares like she says I do deserve it after what I did to her, I deserve everything she does or is going to do to me. I don't think anything can absolve me of the sins of my past; they will haunt me till the day I day and probably for all eternity in the afterlife.
"Tracy, are you ok?" Lynne asks in a quiet, sweet calming voice as she continues to hold me.
"Yeah," I reply in as steady of a voice as I can muster. "I'm fine it was just a bad dream."
"Do you want to talk about it?" Lynne says as she releases me from her warm, comforting embrace.
"I can't even if I wanted to," I tell her, I know speaking about things like this can help but I can't because of the event. I look at Lynne to see her expression is now one of mixed confusion and concern. "It's about a classified mission that happened a year ago so I can't talk about it."
"Oh well ok but I'm here for you if you want to talk," Lynne says placing a hand on my shoulder.
"I know," I reply with a weak smile "You've been there for me ever since we met."
"Well I think you helped me a lot more then I helped you," Lynne says looking down and removing her hand from my shoulder.
"Are you kidding me, without you I would have failed school if it wasn't for you," I tell her making her blush. "So how long have we got till the Major starts torturing us?"
"About an hour and a half but first I have to help Yoshika make breakfast," Lynne answers as she gets up off the bed. "Do you want to help us?"
"Sure," I say as I also get up.
Lynne and I quickly change me into a military uniform and Lynne into her school uniform and leave the room, we head straight to the kitchen and find Yoshika already their getting stuff prepped for cooking. She's so busy with her head buried deep inside a cupboard looking for something that she doesn't notice we enter, it isn't until we are right behind her and Lynne taps her shoulder that she finally realises that we are present.
Yoshika jumps from the gentle tap and hits her head on the cupboard, when she finally emerges from the cupboard she's rubbing a small lump on her head. Lynne immediately lowers her head ashamed about causing her friends injury as the lump of Yoshika's head grows and reddens. Meanwhile I walk over to the freeze picking up a cup on my way and scrape some ice into the glass, once I got enough ice I walk over to Yoshika and hand her the glass.
"Here hold this to the lump," I tell her as I hand her the glass full of ice which she takes with a smile and presses it straight away on her lump. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Yoshika says in a reassuring voice. "And thank you for the cup of ice"
"I'm sorry Yoshika I didn't mean for you to get hurt," Lynne quickly says keeping her head bowed mimicking the way people in Fuso apologise.
"It's ok really I'm fine," Yoshika replies putting on a warm smile as Lynne raises her head.
"So, what's for breakfast?" I ask stirring the conversation away from Yoshika's lump on her head.
"Scrambled eggs on toast," Yoshika answers pointing to the eggs on the side. "Those eggs need to be eaten soon."
"Sounds good I'll get started on the eggs Tracy can you start to make the toast?" Lynne says instantly snapping out of her forgiving self.
"I'm on it," I reply picking up a loaf of bread and quickly spotting a bread knife to slice it with.
"Yoshika, can you get the milk out for me," Lynne request and Yoshika instantly complies opening the fridge she's stood next to.
Half an hour later everyone is present even though both Sanya and Erica are half a sleep much to the annoyance of Barkhorn, she's constantly pulling Erica's ear every time the girl falls asleep and to the delight of Eila who seems over joyed with Sanya's head resting on her shoulder. We sever up breakfast together with Yoshika only having the use of one hand since she's still holding the cup of ice which is mostly water now to her head, the lump is still visible getting a reaction from Barkhorn, Minna and Major Sakamoto, everyone else is too tired to pay attention enough to notice.
No one is very talkative this morning as most can barely keep their eyes open for thirty seconds, Barkhorn, Minna and Major Sakamoto are the only ones other than myself, Lynne and Yoshika who are wide awake. But Barkhorn is too busy nagging Erica, Major Sakamoto isn't looking at anyone just her food and Minna hasn't said a word other than good morning to everyone as they enter. Lynne's too shy to start a conversation in a group this size and always has been for as long as I've known her, Yoshika is having enough trouble eating with only one hand and myself, well I don't really feel comfortable around these girls yet despite the warm friendly welcome they gave me on my arrival.
But thankfully the silence doesn't last long but the thing that breaks the silence isn't something to be thankful for, it's the air raid alarm that breaks the silence alerting us to the Neuroi heading our way. Minna takes a good look around the room but seems disappointed in the fact that most of us are still half asleep but finally she does speak or rather shout of the sound of the air raid alarm.
"Trude, Erica, Lynne and Tracy prepare to take off and intercept the enemy, Major you in command of them!" Minna orders and all the said names stand up, I'm surprised to see Erica jump after seeing her sleep through all Barkhorn's nagging. "I'll be here trying to wake everyone up to give you some back up!"
"You heard the commander move out!" Sakamoto shouts pointing towards the door.
"Yes ma'am!" We all shout back as we start to run for the door.
"Miyafuji fill several buckets with cold water and bring them to me!" I hear Minna order as I leave the room. Is she going to throw water over everyone like I'm imagining right now?
We run into the hanger and grab our guns along with some ammo as quickly as humanly possible, what few maintains workers were present in the hanger rush to open the giant steel doors letting in the cold morning breeze. We mount our Striker Units just as the door fully opens and start our engine, the ears and tail of a Britannia Shorthair cat my familiar appear on me as the engine starts up and a magic circle glows below me.
Sakamoto fly's a bit forward, and at first, I thought she was going to lead us out to battle but instead she fly's in front of me and lobs a small object gently into my hands. I look at the object in my hands carefully, it's blue with the 501st Joint Fighter Wings insignia on it and it's tiny. I know what it is in an instant, it's a special radio us witches use powered by magic much smaller and lighter than any other radio around, I've used one since the first day I enrolled in the RAF so I quickly and effortlessly put it in my ear.
"Alright everyone the Neuroi is heading for our base and is currently straight south from us, ten kilometres away and closing," Major Sakamoto tells us as she flies into a position where each of us can easily see her. "Barkhorn, Hartmann, and Tracy you three will take the lead well Lynne and I stay back and provide support until I locate the core."
"Yes ma'am," We all instantly reply without missing a beat and take off into the cold morning sky.
Once in the air we take up our formation, Barkhorn, Erica and I take up a V formation with Barkhorn at the point, me on the right and Erica on the left. Behind up Lynne and Major Sakamoto fly side by side leaving about fifteen meter in-between us and them. The sky is so beautiful its almost unimaginable as we fly through it, blue sky's little clouds and those few are white and fluffy, sparkling blue sea below and we took off early enough to see the sun rise
Seagulls have already taken flight and fly alongside us enjoying the perfect sky alongside us. It would have been a perfect time for flying if it wasn't for the fact that the reason we are flying is to stop a Neuroi, I could kill it single handily for ruining such a perfect morning for flying. That bloody Neuroi destroying such an occasion for a flight, I swear I will end it for this, mark my words Neuroi you are going down.
We fly for another minute until I know we are close to the Neuroi. I didn't need the Major or anyone else to tell me we are close to the bloody thing, the Seagulls already told me. They flow off in every direction acting as if something evil and dangerous was close, their sense for danger is something I trust so I ready myself for battle. Just then out of a cloud a head of us a Neuroi dives down out of it screeching and ready for a fight.
The Neuroi isn't that big, it's long and thin with two sets of wings that form an X halfway down its body. At the end of each wing is a sphere with a red patch facing us and on the nose of the Neuroi is another red patch, at the rear of the Neuroi are eight cubes each with a red patch facing outwards. This thing doesn't look so tough.
"Barkhorn's group…" Major Sakamoto begun to order but the eight cubes break off the Neuroi becoming Drones and five more Drones drop out of the cloud to join the fight, these Drones are also cubed shaped like the ones that broke off the Neuroi. "Barkhorn's group engage at will, Lynnette cover me while I find the core."
"Yes ma'am," We all reply before Erica and I join Barkhorn in a charge on the Neuroi.
The Drones match our charge with a charge of their own only they go in laser blazing, it takes us a few more seconds of charging while blocking and evading incoming beams before the Drones come in range of our weapons. As soon as the enemies in range we open fire without a second’s delay bringing down three Drones, one each in our opening shots, but the remaining ten take evasive actions and avoid our bullets. The Drones are surprising fast and agile as the charge towards us dodging the hail of lead we send their way. This fight has just gotten a lot tougher.
We continue to charge at each other firing and dodging shots as we go not one of us scoring a single hit on the others. We are barely ten meters apart now but still we all manage to avoid being hit, five meters still no hit man we are getting to close for comfort, one meter away finally I get a sight I am hopping for as a Neuroi Drone enters my sights filling it completely. I pull the trigger without hesitation sending a burst of bullets into the invader that rip straight through its body shattering it into a shower of shinny pieces.
We pass each other by and loop round for another charge, I quickly take the time to count the enemy Drones, there's eight left so that means someone else got one… a loud band rips through the sky quickly followed by another Drone shattering I look up to see Lynne and Major Sakamoto flying high above us and the Drone's, Lynne's aiming her anti-tank rifle which now has a smoky barrel and a bright purple light is emitting from the Major's eye.
"Listen up the larger Neuroi is just a decoy the cores in one of the cubes but I can't locate it here, can anyone see another group of Cubes?" Major Sakamoto informs as but I don't have time to look as my group approaches the Neuroi bring one down thanks to Barkhorn in route and another three as we pass. Lynne and Sakamoto take out another Drone each as the pass us by leaving only two cubes left. "Dammit, the cores not here."
"Th… S… Comman… Ni… S any…One…" Minna's voice says in says over a static filled radio barely getting through. "The… Ba… Tow…Nee… Up…"
"What is she saying?" Erica asks as she fires bringing down a cube with a well-aimed shot from Lynne finishing off the other cube.
"Everyone return to base it's under attack from a tower" Major Sakamoto orders just as I come to the same conclusion, that tower would explain the bad radio reception. We fly flat out pushing our Strikers to the limit to return to and defend the base, those sneaky Neuroi using a decoy to weaken our defences. When did they become so smart? But we don't get far into our return trip until an enemy I forgot about dives down in front of us causing us all to stop and block a barrage of beams sent straight at us. It's the thin Neuroi that transported those cube Drones and acted as a decoy, now its blocking our path and stopping us from helping our fellow squad mates. "Take it out quickly we need to get back."
"Tracy, Erica follow me," Barkhorn orders as she charges straight towards the enemy blocking our path.
We fire every bullet we have into the bloody thing and I must say hearing that clicking sound you gun makes when it's empty is sickening. Erica and I pull away from the Neuroi when we hear that clicking to reload but Barkhorn carries on her charge switch her grip to hold the barrels of her guns before she glows a bright white, her weapons also glow that bright white colour as she speeds up and heads straight for the Neuroi. She slams her weapons into the top of the Neuroi with great straight, causing dust pieces of Neuroi to shoot off in every direction. So, super strength that's her ability.
As Barkhorn pulls away she twists round taking a Panzerfaust of her back and firing it at the Neuroi, combining this with her first attack she cuts the Neuroi in half. The rear half shatters but the front half with the X wings remains intact and quickly fire five beams at Barkhorn which she barely manages to block in time with her shield. A loud band followed by one of the spears at the end of the wing exploding, I can tell by the loud gun shot that that was Lynne's handy work. Erica and I now reloaded dive down on the Neuroi before it can recover and with one final attack we blow the bastard from the sky and the Neuroi shatters just before it hits the water.
"This isn't the time to celebrate ladies we need to help the base," Sakamoto says as she starts once again to head for home.
When the base comes into sight I can see several fires have broken out, there's a large hole in the middle of the runway but most chillingly of all the sights there is the Neuroi tower spraying that shiny stuff that blocks radar and radio signals in all directions. The tower is huge about the same size as the base but only has one red patch to shot from, but from watching this thing that one red patch has a high rate of fire spitting out beam after beam with barely a second in-between.
The tower looks like it has thick armour and looking above the tower I see every one of the 501st except for Sanya who's probably too tired in the sky preparing an attack. As we continue our approach I watch them dive down in two groups on the tower, group one Minna, Shirley and Lucchini takes one side while Yoshika, Eila and Perrine take the other. I can see several white lines appear in the towers armour but those wounds completely heal in seconds, dam that thing has fast regeneration too.
We join in on the attack just as the wounds heal concentrating our fire on one spot near the top of the tower and being awarded when a large hole is blown through the Neuroi. But when we turn back around to once again face the and attack again, I see the wound we inflect is nearly healed, and I watch helplessly as the tower quickly repairs itself.
"Good to see you guys could join us," Shirley says as we all regroup above the tower where it can't shoot us.
"Major I need you to find the core," Minna quickly says taking command of the situation. "That tower has thick skin and a fast regeneration rate meaning we are wasting our ammo right now until you can find the core."
"I get right on it, Lynnette, Miyafuji cover me," Sakamoto replies flying off with Lynne and Yoshika close behind.
"Everyone else keep the towers attention on us and away from the base," Minna orders as the tower starts to destroy the cars and trucks parked outside the castle. "Trude, Erica, Tracy and Perrine get down low and attack the tower, everyone else follow me and we will attack from above"
"Yes ma'am," Everyone replies as I follow Barkhorn in a dive down to the earth.
We pull up just inches above the ground and speed up to charge the tower. We wait until we are close to open fire wanting to make every bullet count. It isn't until we are a few meters away from the tower we open fire, Barkhorn with her dual MG's cuts a small triangle out of the tower that shatters on the ground while all Erica and I can do is paint a thin trail of bullet holes on the surface of this monster. Perrine, I can't see what damage she dealt the Neuroi, but I'm guessing it's like the damage Erica and I inflected.
As we pull out, I can hear Minna's group begun to open fire. We level off above the tower to assess the damage we dealt but are disappointed. All the damage we inflected has healed apart from Barkhorn's which we watch rapidly heal. We watch every bullet hole Minna's group made into the top of the tower close one after another. The tower doesn't even flinch, and we fail to get it even to look our way. Instead, it fires at a fuel truck causing it to explode in a massive fireball and fill the sky with thick nocuous smoke that completely blocks out the sun.
These things are unstoppable. Just as I think that a loud bang rips through the sky, a bullet tears through the smoke and smashes into the top of the Neuroi and flying down through the newly created hole in the smoke with the sunlight making the look like angles are Major Sakamoto, Yoshika, and Lynne.
"Everyone the cores behind the red patch concentrate you fire there," Major Sakamoto says as the smoke closes the hole behind them once again blocking out the sun.
"You heard the Major Strike Witches attack," Minna quickly orders not letting a single second pass after the Major's last words.
We all attack head on guns blazing but now we do have the Neuroi's attention, and it shoots beam after beam at us. The incoming fire is too intense that we can't advance, we can't fire our weapon, and we can't do anything but put up our shields and hope they hold. The only thing I can think of doing is something I really wish I don't have to do, it leaves me exhausted and I normally blackout after using it but it looks like I have no choice.
Another beam hits my shield I don't know whether it's because I'm tired or the beam has become more powerful, but it pushes me back several meters. I don't have time to think a decided it's now or never if I wait any longer we will all be dead. Dammit, I have no choice but to do it. I concentrate and activate my ability waiting till after the next beam hits me to do so.
My body glows a bright golden color and time freezes completely; I can see every beam is completely still all the witches are motionless still holding up their shields. Everything is silent, and still, the only thing I can hear is the roar of my Striker Unit as I hover in place. Looking at the devastation around me it's haunting to be here when it's so quiet. But I can't waste time looking around already I'm starting to feel tired, so I must move quickly.
I fly up to the Neuroi towers red patch positioning myself next to the red patch but slightly off to the side so I won't be in the line of fire. I must unfreeze time to shoot this thing, my bare hands and bladed weapons will work in this frozen time, but guns and engines are to complete with their moving parts to work. My Striker Unit is an exception because it powered by magic, but anything else with a moving component won't work in this state.
I'm starting to fade in and out of consciousness now, and my magical energy is running low, so I only have on shot at this. With a deep breath, I unfreeze time and quickly fire every bullet I have loaded into my gun at the red patch. I don't get to see the results as my vision blurs and I drop out of the sky; I feel my Striker Unit detach and fall off my legs. I know falling to the ground and most likely to my death should scare me, but right now I'm too tired to care what happens to me. All I want to do is sleep. I give in to my exhaustion and close my eyes fading into darkness as I plummet from the sky.
"Tracy!" I hear Lynne scream as I finally full into unconsciousness.
Lynne's POV
"Tracy!" I scream as I dive towards my friend who's falling and unconscious. I dive down as fast as I could and barely get to her in time, I only just catch her in time pulling up inches above the water. "Tracy, are you ok?"
"Lynne, what's wrong with her?" Yoshika asks flying beside me.
"She's unconscious," I say to her hoping it won't get as bad as last time, she's older and much stronger now, it can't get as bad as it was last time. Can it?
"Lynne take Tracy to the medical ward," Minna suddenly orders appearing out of nowhere at my side. "Yoshika go with her"
"Yes ma'am," We both reply in unison and fall her order without a moments delay. Please be alright Tracy.
Sargent Barnett POV
"Noble this is Trojan come in we have a problem," I say over the radio, I saw Lynne run past me carrying an unconscious Tracy in her arms I knew I had to report this right away. I sneak away at the first chance I got and switched on the radio.
"This is Noble what's wrong Trojan?" The voice replies after a few seconds of silence. "You’re not meant to check in for several hours, please transmit your code."
"That which sees all wins all," I tell him. "Tracy's injured Noble."
"Carry on as normal Trojan," The voice replies, and I can hardly belie what I am hearing. We have a man down, and nothing's being done about it.
"Yes sir," I reply knowing from experience that arguing will only lead to trouble.
"Good Noble out," The voice says before static fills the air.
