Chapter 261 - Homerun

"Do you want to see how to use a real stun gun?"

All the men didn't need to know what stun gun Suzuki Ara was referring to, however. They were literally stunned seeing the sizzling electricity all over her body, and the ball of plasma on her hand.

The man who attacked her with the taser gulped as he stared at Ara in horror.

Zzzzzt…

"What are you?" the leader of the men, the one who Ara argued within the van and the man who hit Sonoda asked and she smirked.

"Your worst nightmare," she answered airily as she cracked her knuckles, and when her hands separated, both of them were charged with electricity.

She turned to glance at her sleeping friends, and her face darkened considerably upon seeing Sonoda's battered face and possible broken ribs. "You will pay for everything you did and planned to do," she announced, her voice cold and deadly.

The men visibly cowered, understanding even with their minuscule brains that she was bad, bad news. "Too bad you saw our faces, right? I can't let you all go," she added in a sing-song voice that she normally wouldn't use as she turned her cold silver-stare at them.

Ara had no intention of killing them as much as possible, though. She adjusted the voltage in her hands so they wouldn't die in one hit. The thing was, if they did die in the end, it wouldn't matter to her either. Murderous aura seethed in her body, the malice in her heart, the anger coming out making the air thick with miasma.

"W-what's that?"

Ara who hadn't realized she was exuding dark energy didn't bother understanding what they were talking about. In her mind, there was only one thing she wanted to do right now.

"Stop talking," she said as she lunged, jumping so high up near the ceiling.

The men stood frozen on the spot as they watched her leap.

ZZZZZZZZZZZT

Ara landed on both feet on a man's face, making him stagger backwards 'til he hit the wall. Ara was so strong, the wooden wall was no match for her, and so the man's head punched a hole on the wall as soon as he hit it.

She was just getting started. As soon as the man fell, she flipped back on the air using his face like a spring. She landed on the ground on both feet, and the men who realized they're totally in danger grabbed whatever they could for weapons and attacked her altogether.

One had chains in his hands, another with a steel pipe. The last three had brass knuckles and a gun.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAA," the men rushed towards her to hit her simultaneously, but Ara was more than prepared.

The man with the brass knuckle reached her first but Ara grabbed him by the fist, electrifying him. Since he had metal on his hand, he convulsed as soon as she touched him.

ZZZZZZZZZZT!

She crushed his fist and then slapped him on the chest with her charged hand making him collapse on the floor with a thud. She then pivoted on her heels as she turned to catch the other guy with the brass knuckle.

She pulled his arm and twisted it out of its socket in the shoulder area, making him scream in pain before landing a punch to his stomach as he did to Sonoda earlier at school.  

POW!

The man flew screaming until he landed against the wall, punching a second hole near his unconscious friend.

"BITCH!"

The men with the steel bar and the metal chain charged at her next. The stupid guys still didn't learn their lesson from earlier. Ara didn't even move as they swung their weapons at her. She easily caught the steel bar and the chain in each of her hands.

"What the…"

The men tried to pull with all their might but they couldn't. Ara could easily just electrocute them, but a huge part of her wanted to paint the world red.

And she did…

Ara started with the guy holding the steel bar. She pulled the weapon towards her, making the man lost balance and stagger forward. She took hold of him immediately, and there was horror in his eyes as she clamped her hand tightly in his throat, strangling him with a hand, choking him as she lifted him up.

The man holding the chain let go in fear and he turned to run towards his remaining comrade as he screamed.

"She's a monster!"

But of course it was futile to even try to escape. The man in Ara's hand limped, his throat almost broken, and she threw him easily against the other to prevent his escape. The unconscious man hit the one trying to escape and they both fell on the ground just in time for the one with the gun to aim and shoot at her.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

The report echoed in the warehouse as dust flew everywhere and the man stopped to see what happened. The man underneath the other also managed to scramble on his feet and hid behind the man with the gun.

"Did you get her?" the man asked and they both looked.

However, when the nebulous cloud of dust cleared, Ara remained standing.

"Get me? With these?" she asked mockingly as she held out her hand and showed them the bullets. All three were there.

"Monster!" the men screamed as they tried to run.

"It's Ara's turn, the third batter in the lineup," she said in a singsong voice as she mimicked the baseball broadcast announcement. She threw one bullet up into the air and posed to hit it with the steel pipe. She waited as the bullet fell and swung the pipe hitting the bullet and it flew towards the men.

"And she hits!"

The men scrambled to their feet, but one was not lucky. The bullet pierced his leg and he screamed in pain as he fell on his face on the floor.

"Homerun!"
