Chapter Eighteen

-

Back to X and M. Let's not forget about Pawny.

" Okay, Pawny. It's up to you now" M said

"Definitely not feeling pressure, right now" sarcastically said by Pawny

" Hey Pawny, you see the weapon?" You asked Pawny through the earpiece

"Yeah, I see it" he responded

Listening in the background, You heard Riza talk to Sebastian, asking whether he would like the weapon or not

You heard drilling of some sort coming from Pawny

"Perfectly done"

"Uhm, what did you do? " You asked through the comms

You judged by the glass breaking sounds, Pawny made a way for himself to get out. Riza would've heard that

" Woops" Pawny said apologetically.You heard heavy footsteps, indicating that Riza is now following Pawny

"Crap. Oh, crap. Oh, crap" Pawny panicked

"Look at your little legs. Your so fast" Riza excitedly ran after Pawny

With all that commotion, you urged M to climb up the window

"Come on, hurry. Pawny distracted Riza" you took M's hand, who offered you help

"Thanks" you whispered, and walking to the desk, where the weapon is, as quiet as possible

" You're so fast. I'm coming. I'm coming" you heard Riza

You definitely didn't think of something else because of that statement. Now is not the right time to think that

You and M looked cautiously to where you heard Riza. With a swift movement, you snatched the crystal

You and M immediately started running towards the window

"Oh, Hello" Riza welcomed the two in a bitter way

" Shit" you muttered

Finally, seeing Riza face to face, she had a weird colored bob hair and, a nature-colored flowy dress and a cape

"And here I thought.." Riza trailed off as she took her cape off"..H only worked with X, not that I'm glad to see you" she said to you

"You walked straight to your death, quite literally" she added"Silly me. Poor you" looking up and down at you

"It's a steep learning curve working with H and X, yeah" M said

"Guards!" Riza shouted. Thankfully, only one came and went to her side

Riza's third arm pointed a gun at you two

"I really would not appreciate my head displayed on your door" you shook your head at her, indicating you heard her words

"Oh, but I would. Know this?" Riza pointed to the gun

"What is it?" M asked

"A snub-nosed Karzig Annihilator" you answered, eyes focusing on The Gun

"You know your guns, Impressive. No wonder H likes you." She snarled at you as she pointed the gun to M, who raised her hand up

"Do you know what this does to a human body?" Riza continued

M shook her head. She haven't had the time to read The Book of Weaponry

"It boils you from the inside out" she smirked with gritted teeth

"Cute." you commented

"Do you know what a Pawny does..?" M started biting back

"..To sadistic and nasty alien arms-dealers?" you continued

"No, dears. Tell me what a 'Pawny' is?" Her third arm shook that held a gun in confusion and pointed at you

You smirked and winked at Pawny

"I'm a Pawny, you crazy psycho!" Pawny fired his grappling hook at the gun that was pointed at his Queen

The gun fired right up to your head, barely dodging it as you crouched along with M

The guard charged at M and started throwing punches at her. You jumped up at a table-like design

Riza dived towards you and slapped you right in the face, making you roll away

The crystal fell out of your grip and rolled away from you

You stood up with a groan and struck at Riza, completely dodging her fist coming straight for your face

With her arms, she had advantage. She successfully jabbed on your stomach and punching your nose, making it bleed

"Geez! I really didn't want to fight today" you exclaimed, out of breath, when you were pushed to a cabinet. Poor displays.

"As do I. I already thought of my plans for today" Riza said as she defended herself. You swung at her with a metal tower structured design

"Oh, yeah?! Mind telling me your plans!" You shouted. Talking making you tired fast

Riza grabbed your swinging arms and threw the structure away, to God knows where.Then again, she gave you a good hard punch.

She grabbed your neck when you started swaying from the dizziness, and slammed your head on the table

"Sipping wine with the strongest weapon in my hand" She informed you of her plan as you turned around

You wrapped you hand around her neck, bad decision. Her second a hand also started strangling you, as you tried hard to pull on her hand. You let out a groan that made Riza smile to.

"Poor H, getting her girlfriend killed" Riza cooed at you, who was in desperate need of air

You began feeling lightheaded, your eyes diverted to where M was fighting the well trained guard

Riza's third arm started pulling your hand that was gripping hers

Pulling both of your hands open, as her hand stayed on your neck, she kicked you in the stomach.

Your back hit a table, rolling to your side and clutching your throbbing stomach, your wiped your bleeding nose.

Giving her your hardest glare you could ever do, you stood up and ran towards Riza's retreating form but immediately got choked once again

"You sure love choking people, huh? Kinky" you smirked at her, you didn't care about the bruises that would form later. You punched her in the face as you got rammed on a white statue

Giving her a hard smack, she kicked the back of your knee making you kneel. You pushed her down with you, sitting o her abdomen and punched her face.

Her third hand helped her turn you over but you kicked on her extra arm making her collapse

She started choking you, once again, with her arm. You looked around to see a rope tied to a cage, you grabbed it and immediately tying it around her arm

You pushed her arm that was choking you, away. Escaping her grip you kicked the cage, that took Riza with it, giving you the time to run away from her and towards the crystal

Riza ran to you but soon flew to her back because of her tied arm

"Smart insect" she growled at you

You pushed a heavy cabinet at her,, she staggered and fell on it, taking her down

Readying your fist, you scored a punch on her face. You shook your fist at the pain

"Ow! Wow, that's felt good""You fight well" you whispered at her, because you were trying to catch your breath

Looking at M, you saw she had punched the guard in the face too, knocking him out. Your gazes locked, you nod at her as you exhaled out

You put your disheveled hair back into a quick ponytail and limped towards the crystal and held it

Looking down to your white shirt, it had two to three drops of blood that came from your nose. M took a deep breath beside you to calm her erratic heart after all the fighting

"Looking good, M" you raised a thumbs up at her, to which she returned with a tired smile

"You look not so good, X" she breathed out as she put an arm on your shoulder

"Right, Thanks." You muttered sarcastically

Just then, Luca dropped an ass kicked H on the ground. He groaned out in pain

You saw he had a ripped shirt

"Damn, he had it the hardest" you said"Aaand he looks way not too good" M pointed at him

He looked at the two of you, his position in all fours, and rasped out

"Don't worry, don't worry. It's all part of the plan" he waved it off with a huge smile

"How is he still even smiling at the moment" M whispered

"Well, H, you always have been rather delusional. Your girlfriend, here, fought good, point for her" Riza stood up after taking the rope off of her third arm

"Thanks" bluntly saying to her.

You crouched down to grab Pawny and put him on your shoulder

Gently pushing M away from Riza who stood beside you, stretching her muscles.

Luca grabbed H by the neck as H had his arm around Luca's thighs

You flinched at the arm that stretched towards you

"Hey! Don't hurt, My Queen" Pawny pointed his sword at Riza, who rolled her eyes

She glared at you as she had her hand open. You bitterly gave her the crystal

"Peace offering, my ass" she hissed at, to be honest, all of you

Pawny brought his sword down when he saw you reluctantly give the weapon to the crazy alien with three arms

She turned around and ordered Luca,

"Kill them" grabbing H's neck

"Start with him and make it hurt." Riza started making her way to get a drink

"No! Stop!" You shouted along with M shouting," No! You don't have to do this!" As she pointed her hand towards them

"Put him down, you Terrantian alien!" You shouted at Luca upon seeing H desperately gasped for air

"Wait. Terrantian?" M turned to look at you

"Yes! You damned, Terrantian thug!" H groaned at Luca

"Yes, My Queen's helper, they tend to be single-minded when it comes to killing" announced Pawny

"The 'helper' thing wasn't necessary, Pawny. Their brain is the size of a rabbit's shit" you whispered the last statement to M

"Okay, Shh. You're gonna get your boyfriend killed" M hushed you

"He's not..you know what, whatever" you sighed in defeat, tired of correcting people

"You three are not helping" H huffed out, barely even forming a word. His face is slowly turning purple like Thanos's chin

"M, I think it would be nice to try to stop Luca from killing H, Right now" you nudged her side. Seeing something from her face, like having a flashback of memories, you turned your head from the side in confusion

"As much as I hate that man, I would like him alive for My Queen to be happy" Pawny started poking at M, who broke away from her thoughts

" I know a Terrantian. I met one once. I helped him" M started talking to Luca

You stayed silent at the sight

Ah, so Luca was the Terrantian she saw from Andromeda II. You remembered from her form when M was recruited

M took a deep breath and said confidently,"Kabla Nakshulin"

"What?" Riza asked in confusion, a glass of wine in her hand and the crystal on her other. Just as she planned"What?" You also asked"What?" Pawny soon joined the 'What' Compilation

M turned to look at X, Riza and Pawny. With hands raised by her chest, she unsurely repeated what she said"Kabla Nakshulin?"

"What she said" H choked out

"How'd you know that" Luca asked with a gun still pointed at the two of you

"Please, bring him down" you pleaded kindly at Luca, who was slowly bringing him down

With a look at You and M, he brought H down, just in a not pleasant way. He more of, threw him down, than brought him down gently.

You slipped beside H, who was so glad to breath in air again. You pushed the pieces of glasses away from him using your boot, so he wouldn't injure himself

You held out a hand to which he took delightfully and stood next to you with an arm around your waist to steady himself

"Molly?" Luca said in recognition

"Yes." M answered out as a small smile started to form on her face

"You good?" You looked at H, who gave you his charming smile

"I'm good" he wiped a dried blood on the side of your nose. You nodded at his response

"Really didn't like you dying on me--on us" you swiftly corrected yourself. With a laugh and a knowing smile from H, he turned his head away and to the others

No one, except Pawny, seeing you and H's interaction.

"Molly? Are you shitting me? Really?" Exclaimed, Riza

H laughed out at her, voice still raspy,"Hah! Who's delusional now?" He pointed at Riza

"It's you?" M said, happiness evident in her eyes

You so badly wanted to say ' of course, it's him. If it wasn't, then he wouldn't have recognized you ' but decided against it to not ruin the tearful moment. After all, Luca is the very reason why M looked for and found MIB

With gasps of happiness by M and Luca smiling, your face formed a small smile at the interaction

"You've grown!" She cried out in joy"I mean, me too" M added saying an obvious matter

Luca's face hardened then pointed, his lowered gun, at Riza, who raised all three of her arms

"Give her the box" Luca said as he gestured his gun to the 'box' Riza is holding

"Luca, you can't do this" Riza scoffed in disbelief

"Well, he definitely is doing 'this' " you deadpanned at her

" Haven't I been good to you? I've literally let you kill whoever you wanted to. Come on" Riza said in betrayal. He tried changing his mind. All he answered was a point of a gun at her"No?"

"The box?" M smiled smugly. Riza threw M the box. M thanked Luca as you did too, you received a nod

M snorted in extreme joy, as she compressed her happiness"You changed my life, by the way" she giggled. Her inner child, being incredibly pleased

" Hey, uh quickly. What does Kabla Nakshulin mean?" M asked

"It means: 'One day, I'll kill whoever you choose in the most gruesome way imaginable' " Luca explained as he pushed down H, who removed his hold on you to not bring you down with him. H groaned as you grabbed him up. Again.

" Or Maybe we could just keep her here for a moment until  we.." M pointed at You, H and herself"..can discuss a plan of action"

"We'd like that" you answered for H, holding his arm tightly. He really looked like a mess, went to hell and back and again.

"So, uh are you gonna stay here with Riza and make sure she doesn't kill my friends?" M recommended to Luca

"Yes. I'll be here whenever you need me" Luca bowed his head

"Follow your Queen, peasants" you jokingly called to the two,  removing your hold from H, and leading the way out

"As you wish, My Queen" Pawny humorously replied as all of you laughed
