Aadibah’s legs moved as soon as the blue shield collapsed. Taking a single step she cleared the space between her and the Japanese girl with wings who now had tears streaming down her face and was sputtering out nervous words.
Right foot landing in the dirt, her whole body leaning forward and left leg coming up from behind, the man and woman with automatic rifles brought their barrels up. Suddenly, the woman let out a yelp as a red laser flew out from where Aadibah had been standing only a few moments before. The blast burned a whole in her left shoulder, the rest of her body spinning around with it as she fell to the ground. The man that remained began firing into the dirt as he swung up his weapon, and the soldier closed the distance with a second leap.
Aadibah flew into her target, left knee slamming into his chest. The rifle continue to spit out led as the raider kept squeezing the trigger, falling backward into the sand where the back of his skull was smacked against. Without a half a second between, Aadibah brought her boot down on the rifle, crushing the fingers beneath it into the ground. The raider’s hand fell limp and the gunfire ceased. After that her other heel shattered the man’s jaw, and he went completely still.
Another red laser flew past the soldier, and her head whipped to the right. The woman had her rifle back in her hands, finger on the trigger, a black and crisp hole in her face. Skin, muscle tissue, bone and brain matter sizzled in place of her eyes and nose.
The dust particles hanging in the air floated about for a few seconds before settling into clothes, hair, weapons, feathers, and the ground. A few reports of rifles echoed from further down the streets. The girl with the wings stood staring at the two bodies. After a few seconds, the corners of her lips stretched ear-to-ear, eyes widening and drying up instantaneously.
“I’m not gonna get killed! Yay!” The giddy Japanese girl’s wings unfurled, giving a quick beat against the air and throwing herself into Aadibah. Her arms wrapped around the soldier’s waist, who let out an audible and shouting as the a massive metal rod in place of a hand smacked into her spine.
“W-what? Wait who’s side are you even on?!”
“Yours now!”
“So you’re telling us that you were one of the raiders?” Tony made his way forward, white and black rifle aimed at the winged girl. “The people currently going through and terrorizing civilians?”
“What? Oh no those guys tricked me.” The teen let go of the engineer and gestured towards the bodies with her left hand. “I didn’t even know what they were planning to do until I got here.”
Toby and Aadibah both looked at each other for a brief moment, Aadibah rubbing her back, before focusing their gazes back on the newcomer. “So what are you a prime then?” Asked the stormtrooper.
“A prime?”
“Are you new here?”
“Well I mean I’m new to the village, but not to Gensokyo.”
“Yeah, she’s a prime.” Tony lowered his weapon. Aadibah walked forward, planting her feet a few feet behind the Japanese girl.
“What is Gensokyo?” The strategist asked. “Is it in Japan?” She cocked her head slightly to the side, peering at the teen from an odd angle.
“Kinda. It’s a magical zone thingy-majig. Kinda like a bubble in the land that’s not really there, and sometimes people wander into it.” Immediately after the explanation, the winged girl paused, mouth slightly open and brow furrowing. “But… you guys already knew that. Right? Or were you born here and your parents never told you?”
“Kid.” Tony stepped forward, “Let me be the first to burst your bubble. You’re not home anymore. You’re in a place we call the Omniverse. An entity named Omni basically copy-pasted you over here.”
Aadibah walked around the new prime and faced her from the front. The teenager’s expression went from a drooping frown, then her jaw dropping, then a wide and sparkly-eyed grin, then back to a frown with her mouth wide open and water collecting in her eyes again.
“Oh no! Oh no no! Everything’s gone?! My home! Hell! I’ll never see it again?! I mean now Reimu can’t hunt me down now but I didn’t want to have get taken away for that!” She then looked back up to the stormtrooper. “Where is this Omni guy! I want him to take me back!”
Tony looked to Aadibah, “Listen, I gotta help the others mop up what’s left of the raiders. You stay here and get this kid to calm down.” The soldier nodded, and the trooper headed off into the streets towards where sparse gunfire could still be heard.
The woman turned to the younger girl, “Listen, I’m new here too. I’ve pretty much gone through the exact same stuff as you right now. It’s not so bad, there are good people here.”
“Do you think I care!” The girl’s voice cracked as she raised her voice. “I might not ever be able to see my home again! I’ll never get to see new Hell!” The soldier pursed her lips, brow wrinkling.
“What’s your name, kid?”
The Japanese girl sniffled before responding, “Reiuji. Utsuho Reiuji.”
“What do your friends call you?”
“Okuu?”
“Okay, Okuu.” Aadibah stepped forward, holding her hand out to the girl. “My name’s Aadibah. I’m gonna call you Okuu because as far as you’re concerned, we’re friends from this point on.” This was followed by a small smile.
