Ito Ai: A New Dawn

Chapter 61: A New Kind Of Danger Part Two

The man that was on patrol to protect the base camp looked at the two young girls running towards him and a lustful smile formed on his face. "Sure! I can save you from the bear but you will have to help me with something after." 

Ai sneered inwardly but out worldly she smiled brightly and nodded her head. "Sure, sure, whatever you want we will do it! Please save us!"

The man's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "Quickly get behind me, Big Brother will protect you." 

Mai who was behind Ai began to feel bad for this man. He had no idea he was being used as a shield. This was the first time Mai had seen Ai use someone else to escape from danger. And it did not just end there. As they grew closer and ran past the man, he felt something was off when he saw the weapons hanging from their shoulders. But before he could say anything he only heard A young girl's voice say: "Thanks a lot big brother! Now, be good and go feed the hungry bear." 

The man felt his knees suddenly go weak and as he turned his head he only saw the backs of the two girls. As they disappeared, a rotten smell filled his nose. He quickly turned his head to see a grotesque beast in front of him. It was a massive bear with open wounds and rotten flesh falling off its body, he wanted to run and scream but he found he wasn't able to do anything. He couldn't even move his feet. He looked down and saw a syringe lying on the ground and a realization came to him. He had been tricked! But what was even worse was the shining objects that accompanied the bear. He could only watch as his body was being torn apart and eaten. Horror filled his eyes and just before he passed out from the pain and blood loss, one thought screamed out in his head. 'Those fucking bitches!'

Ai and Mai quickly changed course to go a bit more around the area where they had just left by going deeper into the woods. "Ai, are we okay now?" Mai asked, sweat dripping from her brow. They had been running nonstop. They were lucky enough to slow the last of the machina down as they ran. This enabled them to put a good distance between them and their pursuers. 

"Yeah, we should be good. I did not think we would run into a mutant so soon. Those things are a pain in the ass and it is easier to run away from them than to fight. Mai, did you get hurt at all?" Ai asked. She could feel the stinging in her legs and arms from all the branches and thorns they ran through.

"Just minor wounds." Mai replied. She then asked: "Are we going to continue?"

"Yes, we still need to set up our defenses. When their main group comes we will be able to fend them off easier. Come, we will climb that tree over there and try to get a better look." Ai said as she pointed to a rather large tree. 

The girls climbed up the tree and took out the thermal binoculars. "Two, three as far as I can see. But it is hard to tell during the day..." Ai said as contemplated for a moment, before turning to Ma island asking: "Mai how do you feel about moving on your own? Do you think you can take the one standing by himself out?"

"I am not one hundred percent sure, but I am sure I can get away if needed." Mai replied.

"Okay, if you get spotted just run away and hide. Use the trees as cover and fire at will. I will be over to help you as soon as I can." Ai said as she reached over gripped Mai's hand. She hoped the training and recent fights she has been in have been enough for her to do this. 

"I will don't worry. I will not say that I am not frightened or that I can kill him alone but I can say for sure I can at least keep him busy long enough for you to finish up." Mai said confidently.

"Then my dear sister, I will be counting on you!" Ai said before hopping down from the tree. Mai followed after her. The two looked at each other and nodded before splitting up. Ai just hoped the things they left behind would not come this way. She did know that if they had the advantage of silencers on their weapons, so if these men did shoot at them they would draw more attention to themselves.

Ai moved through the words quickly unlike how she moved with Mai. The contrast in her ability to maneuver was very different. She had quickly moved to a spot where two men were sitting at a small camp. "Hey, where is that damn pervert?"

"How would I know? He said he was going to walk a bit further out around the perimeter. Has there really been no movement at that base? Do you think that bastard Eiji already tasted those girls?" The other man replied.

"Has your head gone ill since shit hit the fan? Or, have you spent too much time with that pervert?" The other man said in disgust.

"Listen. I haven't seen a female in a month and any time we find any and bring them back since the old bastard died, the people at the top, take them." The man argued back.

"If you guys like girls so much why not play with me?"
