Chapter 71 - CHAPTER 70 – BRUTE FORCE FIGHT

*Note: I'm feeling better but I'm not recovered yet so sorry for the late update.

Have a good day :)

...

After a couple of days of nonstop travel, The Annihilator arrived on Earth and, consequently, in Japan, specifically Sainan.

Unfortunately for The Annihilator, blending in as a human was complicated and many people would look at her suspiciously if she strolled down the street, so she had to use a device to camouflage her appearance.

This device was the same one most aliens on Earth used to hide their true looks. Obviously, there are races that resemble humans, but the majority are completely different. In fact, some do not even breathe oxygen but other gases that would be completely toxic to humans.

Anyway, The Annihilator disguised herself as an ordinary frail old lady you might see shopping in a mall or in the neighborhood store where you live. No one would suspect that this weak-looking granny was an extremely strong extraterrestrial assassin sent to kill a human. Who would suspect a frail old woman?

With that said, The Annihilator headed off at a brisk pace to look for Akira. According to her records and the information she gathered during her trip, she discovered that Akira's age matched the princesses', so he was likely attending a school.

The Annihilator had no idea about the human school schedule, but she knew schools ran during the day and humans were diurnal creatures, not nocturnal, so it didn't take much intelligence to guess he was probably at school.

And while it could have been the weekend, today was Thursday, so Akira was indeed at school.

{Note: Akira and the twins visited Zastin on Monday and the news took a day to spread, i.e. Tuesday. The Annihilator took two days to reach Earth, which means it's Thursday.}

So The Annihilator decided to go look for schools and, with luck, find Akira. She didn't know where to start searching, so she asked people she met along the way and discovered that this city had quite a few schools, but the nearest one in the area was the most famous school in the city: Sainan Academy.

The Annihilator thought it through and assumed Akira should be a student at that school because, according to the information she had about him, Akira lived nearby and that school was the closest to his home, so it would be foolish to suppose Akira went to another school when one was so close.

Fortunately, The Annihilator had no trouble reaching Akira's school thanks to directions from helpful passersby, but unfortunately she had no idea what time Akira would get out of class, so she simply waited.

The good thing was she heard shouting from inside the school—probably students in PE class—so she knew Akira had to be inside; she just had to wait.

...

Three days had passed since I officially became engaged to Nana and Momo and I have to admit Gid was more lenient than I thought.

According to Zastin, when he visited my house on Tuesday, Gid had accepted my engagement to the twins—no strings, no tests, nothing—he simply accepted it, and according to Zastin, he seemed more happy than angry (contrary to what I expected).

I'm sure something's up, but for now I don't know what it is, so I focused on my new fiancées.

Now that four people and a robot lived in my house, and those four people— all girls— were my women, everything flowed more naturally. What I mean is: we were family now and there was no need to hold back. Want to walk around the house naked? Go ahead, we're family. In short, there was no need to be overly polite or formal; after all, we were family.

The only downside was Nana's shyness toward me was still quite noticeable; she often looked at me blushing and when I caught her gaze she quickly looked away with a face as red as a tomato. How cute.

The good thing was Yami spoke more normally to the girls and was no longer so formal. It seemed that little by little she understood Lala didn't care about hierarchy among wives or that she was a concubine, so Yami began to give her own opinions and speak casually—a big step forward.

Regarding sex, now with two more women, the schedule changed and everyone had their turn, starting with Lala.

That Monday it was Lala's turn, Tuesday was Yami's, and Wednesday was Momo's who, after having sex once, became rather proactive and lustful, constantly teasing me even during the day with an obvious goal.

The shyest was still Nana, who decided she wanted to go last. She probably hadn't gotten over what happened on Sunday and was still embarrassed. Even so, today—Thursday—I wasn't going to let her escape and would make her lose that shyness. You can guess how.

Anyway, after school today and after buying some ingredients at the supermarket on the way, we went straight to Mikan's house to help her and have dinner.

If it weren't for Rito, this would be paradise on Earth. Don't get me wrong—Rito wasn't doing anything wrong—it's just that all the girls at Mikan's place, except Mikan herself, were my women and Rito basically got in the way. He didn't seem to realize it and I couldn't kick him out of his own house, so we had to accept it for now.

In any case, aside from Rito's presence, the rest of the night was pleasant: we ate well, chatted for a while, and then went home.

You didn't think we'd leave Mikan's house without helping her clean up after dinner, because we always helped before leaving.

But when we got home we realized something. We hadn't bought water and now we had no water! Water was essential even for aliens, so we needed some.

"Nana was supposed to buy the water," Momo said.

"WHAT?! Why me?" Nana asked.

"I told you Tuesday night to buy it Wednesday, but you were so distracted watching that TV show you didn't even notice," Momo replied.

Okay. And why didn't anyone remind me? I mean, any of us could have noticed there was no water, Nana complained.

She had a point, and honestly none of us had a real answer. Probably each of us thought someone else would take care of buying water, so nobody did.

"Nevermind. I'll go buy a few bottles to last the night and tomorrow after school we'll buy more," I said.

Since there are so many of us we needed a lot of water and now was not the time to do a big shop.

Tomorrow was Friday, so we had school and I couldn't waste too much time buying water, so I'd get a few bottles to last the night and we'd buy more tomorrow.

After the girls agreed without much insistence, I headed to the nearest supermarket to buy water.

...

I bought the water without problems, but as I was heading home, at the famous park...

"Akira Sato. Am I mistaken?" someone asked.

I quickly turned toward the voice to find a surprising sight.

It was a person, but this person looked like an old woman with muscles bigger than a bodybuilder's. What the hell was I seeing?

"Who are you?" I asked, a bit surprised.

"You should already know, after all, I'm not the first to come after you," the old woman replied.

"In other words, you're another assassin…" I sighed.

Carefully, I left the bottles of water on a nearby bench.

"I'm not just another assassin, I am The Killer!" the old woman exclaimed.

"Really? And what makes you different from the other assassins I defeated?" I asked.

Instantly, without waiting for a response, I returned the Omnitrix to its normal state.

Since my last fight I'd been training and my control over my current aliens had increased considerably.

"It's simple. Because you've never faced anyone as strong as me! Do you know what they call me in the galaxy?" the old woman asked.

"No, but you can tell me if you like," I said.

"The Annihilator!" she declared.

"Curious," I muttered.

"And do you know why they call me that?" she continued.

"No idea. How would I know?" I asked.

"Because I always crush my enemies into pulp, just like what will happen to you!" she shouted, smashing her fists.

"We'll see about that," I said.

Then I pressed the Omnitrix button, spun the dial and selected the perfect alien for this fight.

The Annihilator watched the human's actions with curiosity, unsure what he was doing, but when the human pressed that dial, a green light temporarily blinded her and put her on guard.

However, when the green light faded, she was surprised by what she saw. It was no longer the human but a humanoid creature with red skin, four muscular arms and a height similar to hers.

"Since your specialty is crushing... then I will crush you!" I exclaimed.

"Doesn't matter if you turned into a monster or whatever, I'll kill you right here!" the old woman shouted.

Both of us lunged at each other and began to exchange blows.

The powerful strikes echoed as they collided, forming small craters from the enormous force exerted by both.

At first they seemed evenly matched, but Akira, who had trained hard with Four Arms, started gaining the upper hand against The Annihilator, who was forced to retreat.

"Damn, having four arms is cheating!" the old woman said as she wiped the blood from her cheek.

The blow Akira had just landed had made her bleed.

During the exchange of blows, The Annihilator estimated that the strength of that monster was more or less equal to hers, but having four arms instead of two was giving him a significant advantage.

"That's just the excuse of a loser," I said, cracking my knuckles with a grin.

This fight was turning out to be incredibly easy and the results of my training seemed to show their worth.

Thanks to my solo training and sessions with Yami, my reflexes had improved tremendously and my skills with my aliens had increased considerably. My effort paid off.

At first I took it easy to measure her strength relative to mine, but after a while of exchanging punches, I realized the difference in strength was obvious. Despite being strong, the old woman was not as strong as me, a Tetramand specialized in brute force.

"Also, I suggest you surrender and give up," I said in a serious tone.

Hearing this, the old woman laughed.

"Hahahaha, that's funny! Surrender? Me? Never!" she said.

"Then I'll make you surrender by force," I replied calmly.

But at that moment, the old woman pulled out a small bottle filled with a blue liquid.

"Consider yourself lucky you brought me to this point, Terran!" she exclaimed.

And then she drank it before I had time to react.
