Chapter 25 - 25: Escape

...

As we are all taking our breaths, nelly slams her fist on the bunker wall and cracking it slightly, "Dammit! My attack had no effect on that bastard..."

With lena slumping onto the wall, gasping for air, "i... hufff... havent run this hard for a long time..."

Just then zoe plops to the ground, her legs seemingly having given up, "my legs... are still shaking. That was terrifying..."

With the commander having gathered his breaths he turns to nelly, "Nelly, i want you to report this to General Rommel at your earliest convenience."

Ans with a nod after composing herself, she turns and helps lena up. "OK, I'm leaving now. Lena, Prima, let's return to headquarters as fast as we can."

With prima pushing herself off the wall and lena standing up, "Yes, Ma'am!" And "Roger..." respectively.

...

Meanwhile somewhere inside the Seigfried institute...

"Ah hah! I knew i was going to the right place! Let's see~"

the feminine creature with pale gray skin and silvery long hair looks around and enters a room filled with a mountain of beast tank and animal corpses.

"The stored food here is almost finished, we'll have to go to the next hunting ground soon..."

As another figure walks out from the shadows of a corner, with some clattering of some sharp insectoid clawed appendages alongside her movement as two pairs of xonomorph like heads peeks out from her back with a chitinious tail swishes behind her, and its long black hair fluttering by the wind coming in from where the other girl arrived from.

The second figure sighs as it holds its head in slight disappointment, "are you sure it's not because you eat too much?"

With the white haired figure shrugging and chuckling to herself, "Ah... ahahaha~"

( ̄¬ ̄)

As it then lightly slams a fist onto its palm, "oh yeah! By the way~ i met some metal maidens nearby here~"

With the other figure sighing once more and muttering to itself, 'Changing the topic again... screw this...)' before it resigns itself, "where did you see them?"

At that question the silver haired figure shrugged, "well i wanted to get a taste of them... but they got away in the end~"

Hearing that response the black haired figure's expression looms and darkens a bit before looking at the pile of corpses nearby, "Is there snything else in your head besides eating!?"

with a sigh it thinks to itself, 'well... she isnt wrong, there is indeed not much food left in this area, perhaps it is time to leave...'

As the black haired girl around and walks to a nearby table.

"Well, go do whatever. We will be leaving this place soon anyways and make sure to report to me what you found on what i sent you out for."

"Ehhhhhh? But thats so booorrrriiiiinnngggg.... fine..."

...

"Alright we will be setting, out safe travels to you all. Jagtiger squad move out!"

"Roger!" x2

With nelly, prima and lena leaving. Our group is once again just the 6 of us, as we head back to base for a lengthy break and rest.

As the group was slowly trekking back zoe shudders again, "that thing still freaks me out... my shells weren't even getting close to her.."

With zoya and raisa nodding, the commander looks at anastasia and johan walking by him, "how about you two? Are you two alright?"

I shake my heads, " we are fine, just a little..."

"Shocked i guess?"

'I can't let them see what im really thinking of... since i know who that was, epsilon the Stardust Farer's wildcard of a scout. So im assuming im near the early part of the storyline of metalwaltz so that means i.. we might be going to the breif school arc soon... but in the game it really just in the span of a few story battles... hopefully anastasia can actually become a metal maiden myself. But how i become one is unknown to me still, i just hope its not that bad.'

With the commander nodding, "well we better all head back as fast as we can since i still need to submit some reports, and especially ones about anastasia and johan."

As the commander finishes taking, we all perk up at his mention of us.

"Oho? Does that mean you really are going to recommend them there? Haha!" As zoya laughs while slapping johan's back

"Agh! That hurts!" As i grab my shoulder nearest to where the "pat" was.

As the commander chuckles, "well that still depends on if they get accepted. So for now lets just head back and rest, it might still be a while till we will get news of anything."

With zoe cutting in, "that means anastasia will become like a junior to me! Hehe~" ( ^ω^ )

Raisa chiming in, "well since we still have a month or so why don't we train them? Well train them more that is."

Nodding the commander then looks at both johan and anastasia, "indeed, it wouldn't be bad to have more experience out in the field... even if this technically is illegal but we have no choice since beast tanks are everywhere here and its better to be with us than be alonw in a bade that could be attacked at anytime without a metal maiden around."

As everyone nods upon the commander's point.

"Haha... well, please continue to take care of us!."

"Yes, please. We will do our utmost best to learn!"

As with that the group slowly headed back to the base.

...

As a month passes by...

The commander sitting behind a a desk sulking, "a month... a month has pass by since we encountered that creature, yet Frontline command still hasn't answered or sent a message..."

As he then looks towards zoe nearby sorting through documents, "has the headquarters replied yet? I'm getting a little nervous."

With zoe pouting, "commander... this is the 6th time you've asked that already! Don't be too anxious, jist wait patiently for Nelly's response."

Sighing the commander rubs his brows, "the headquarters sure take their time responding..."

Then at this moment, both of me, zoya and raisa come in the room with a bag of documents.

"We're back, we received this earlier after we finished training." As zoya drops the documents at the commander's desk.
