AOT Rays Of Heaven Ch 4 : I Am Batman

I stood there pondering over my next action. 

I’m no fighter and there have no fighting experience either, and for Rob’s sake I am fucking 9. What I’m supposed to do to them, throw rocks at them. 

Nah, I better get some cops here, this place should have those right? I pondered more and turned back, ready to get out of there, remembering the place, I was ready to run again and bring back someone who could really beat those murderers. But when I was about to move on I heard.

“….. sell her for a good price, that women would have fetch a good price but…..”

It was just a broken sentence but I heard it and my raised leg didn’t contact the ground anymore. 

Fuck, they have a hostage, most probably the person whose breath is muffled. Now what do I do? what if they get out of here when I am gone, it's not like I know where to find the cops of this world and why the hell are they gonna listen to a snot not a brat like me anyways, I am 9 for god sake.

Well at least now I know that people talk English here, thank you ROB.

Hey system, do you have any way to help me here?

‘…’ 

“System, please help me here,” I said this time not just thought about it.

‘…’

Maybe it's not sentient?

Okay then let's try this, “Status”

----

Hmm okay, I see that the name of the world has finally appeared in my status, so most likely what I do and know affects this.

I am level 5 which doesn’t sound very promising for the situation I am facing. Other than that, all my stats are not much, but I have energy. Don’t know how that is supposed to help me.

“Hey System, what is this energy,” I asked.

[Energy is the special power which is given to the User to perform various supernatural feet]

Well, that’s helpful but I still don’t know how to use it.

“What is GP” I asked asking the second thing which I didn’t understand.

[Grinding Points (GP) are the system points which user can use to upgrade stats and purchase Items from the System Shop]

Oh, so I have access to a system shop, awesome. Okay then let's start with that, you should have told me about that earlier you know.

“System Shop” I said and a screen different than status appeared in front of me.

[Common Search]

[Special Search (Lock)]

I didn’t waste much time on the special search as I knew that I was gonna spend hours tinkering with everything anyway later on and click the common search option.

And then a holographic keyboard appears in front of me with a search bar. 

I see this as online shopping without those fancy websites, just need to search and I most likely get it. So I immediately search for handguns.

[Glock G19 (539)]

[Glock G43 (449)]

[Sig Sauer P365 (499)]

[Springfield Armory Hell Cat (469)]

[Glock 43x (449)]

[Taurus G3G (229)]

Blinking I summon my status again to see that I only have 100 GP. Poor no matter which world I am in, Sigh.

I was honestly pretty giddy to check out all the different kinds of things I can get from the shop or how the search option works but right now I didn’t have enough time. Need to save that hostage inside first.

So then I search for something cheaper. The only thing at 100 GP, which I can only assume after seeing the prizes of the gun are very similar to dollars, I choose to get myself a knife.

I searched and got confused after just seeing the names of the items which I wanted to purchase.

“Hey system, can you change your AI a little like you know a little more graphical images and a little more customer friendly,” I said and immediately saw the window changing. Now every item had an image attached to it with a prize tag. It was no Amazon but I will take it.

Quickly I swiped down and got myself a combat tactical Knife.

[Kombat Tactical Knife (40)] 

[Purchase done, item stored in system space]

System space huh, okay I this time didn’t say it but rather thought about it and another panel appeared in front of me. And I also saw my knife on the list. And with just a click, that knife materialises in my hand.  

“Damn, it's almost like a video game,” 

Alright, then time to say hi to those damn Kidnappers. What could possibly go wrong right?

----

“Knock Knock” the sounds from the door came and everyone stiffened. The man close to the door looked at that other man who looked like the boss of this ugly tag team. 

He motions the man to open the door and after tugging a knife behind him, he hesitantly opens the door.

He was expecting a man or even worst a Military Police (MP). But to their luck, it was just a brat….

No, not just a brat, a fucking baby from angels themselves. His eyes widen almost completely frozen at the beauty of the little boy in front of him.

Fair skin with sun-kissed hair, big bright amber eyes. And that face, almost made him question whether what he was seeing was an illusion or reality.

I was planning on luring the man outside but he just got stunned, I looked inside and the other man was also similar. Not sure why, maybe they were not expecting a kid here, good for me to take out my knife from the system space and gut the man right on his gut. Making sure to do maximum damage.

This brought both the man out of their daze, still, it was late as I took out my knife and was almost on top of the other man.

But this damn kid's body was not fast enough, the man like a sudden jolt of a bolt grab me by the knife and started to overpower me.

I tried to resist but couldn't do it, he threw me like a sack of potatoes and jumped towards me. “Bastard” he shouted.

The Man I gutted was already done for, there was no saving him, I might never have stabbed someone but I Know where to stab.

The other man rushed towards me and I immediately got out of the way, was much more agile than him thanks to my smaller body. I taking advantage of the situation stabbed the knife at the man’s leg, earning a painful shriek from him but then a mighty punch connected right at my side to send me again flying back.

“Energy if you can really help me do something supernatural. This is the time when I need something supernatural” I almost cursed as all the air was forcefully taken out of my lungs with that punch.

No Fight back. Fight otherwise you are going right back to Heaven. Not happening. I rather suffer this short-term pain than that extreme boredom of heaven. Maybe those bastards rename hell to heaven just to fuck with the sinners.

“Fight, fight goddammit.” 

“Fight” I shouted one last time and was about to rush towards the man who finally stood up again after I stabbed him in his leg but before even my war cry ended I saw a small girl appear out of nowhere and stab the man with a Knife. That too right at the neck, she fucking jump pretty high which I am sure is not possible for a child of her this age.

Eh..?

Now I looked like a fool shouting for nothing, but then I saw the man falling down and in his neck was my knife sticking out.

So she took my knife when that man punched me. I slowly walked towards the man with my already aching body and out-of-breath state and took out the bloodied knife.

With a sigh I internally promised to keep my killing to Titans only from this point onwards, and then looked at the girl whose face I couldn't even see properly in all this action.

She had ebony hair, cut into a neat bob that framed her beautiful face, and expressive almond shaped obsidian eyes. She had an innocent yet resolute aura. Her petite stature was complemented by a simple yet functional wardrobe.

She is nothing in comparison to those angels but I will take her over those bitches any day of the week. She is cute and beautiful, totally my type if only she was a little older, well I am too only 9 so maybe I should just wait until either of us is alive still then, you know human eating titans and all.

I saw her looking at me just like how I was looking at her, stunned but she just killed a man so I guess it's normal.

I was about to say something but then heard a voice, my senses all screaming danger to me. 

“Behind you,” that girl shouted suddenly but I was much faster than her. I with lightning reflexes turned back like my body was on autopilot and threw my knife without even knowing where and at whom.

But the next moment, a man fell on the floor and my knife dug right at one of his eyes.

I was stunned if anything and looking back at the girl, I can say that she too was stunned.

“I am Batman,” those words escaped my mouth before even I could realise.
