Chapter 9: Finally
(Entoma pov)
I was in a bar, watching Giran. "Tell me where she is, or else your head will start rolling on the ground." My voice sounded dangerously, more dangerous than usual.
Giran looked at me with a business-like smile. "Come on, let's calm down a bit, lady." A stinger emerged from my sleeve. Giran's hair stood up, and he raised both hands. "Come on, I'm trying to say that I found her."
So, I asked him. "And how long did it take you to find her?" He slightly lowered his voice. "One year."
"Can you repeat that? I didn't hear it."
And he spoke louder. "One year."
"And how long did you say it would take to have all the information on her?"
He started scratching his head. "One week, how hard was it to find her information?"
I clicked my mandibles. "But that's your fault for promising me information so quickly."
I pulled the stinger away from his throat. "From now on, you owe me, and it's a lot."
"Aghh... fine, what do you want from me?"
"Nothing for now, but someday I'll come, and I advise you not to forget."
...
I left the bar with the information I wanted. I can't wait to finally get out of here, keeping the anger that has been accumulating in me for a whole year. And why? Everything annoys me here, people, animals that always growl at me. Kids who just keep screaming, and the worst is...
"Hello, Entomo!"
This birdbrain again. He's the same age as me. We often see each other, well, the fact that we see each other often is partly my fault because of my cravings.
Thanks to him, I have some information about how I'm doing. But fortunately, all of this will end. I will leave. 'Finally, finally, I will see Master again. I can't wait.'
"Hello, Takami-kun."
He looked like an idiot. 'Is this the illness that Master told me about?'
"Uh, well, Entomo, how was your day today?"
I had to tell him that I go to school. Thanks to Giran, I have a fake ID. At least he's good for something.
"Pretty good, today we took tests at school, and I did pretty well. And you?"
"We're still looking for that villain, still nothing. We don't know who he is because there are no fingerprints or DNA at the scene..."
I stopped listening to him, and a great idea came to my mind.
"Say, Takami, do you want to go for ice cream? There's a good one nearby."
It could be seen that he was very happy because he always invites me, and I usually don't refuse; who would miss out on free food.
"Yes, that would be good."
"So what are we waiting for, let's go." I took his hand, and he started to blush a bit when he was in his fantasies, so I dragged him into an alley.
"Entomo-chan, I don't know if this alley is safe."
"But yes, it is, on the other side, there is ice cream."
He just nodded his head. And they continued on their way. Until they reached the end of the alley, which was, of course, a dead end. I was turned away from him. "Entomo-chan, I think you've confused the alleys, let's get out of here."
I slowly started creating a bug with a stinger, waiting for the moment when he would take my hand. "It's not safe here; we have to go."
He slowly reached out to me, but instead of my hand, the stinger stabbed him. "Ento..." Before he could say my name, he collapsed on the ground. Paralyzed on the ground, he looked at me. "Finally, I've been waiting for this, Hawks, now you can choose whether to become my puppet or my meal." Hawks realized that it was me who paralyzed him.
"Well, I'm quite hungry. The last time I ate was that old couple, but that was two days ago. And you kept bothering me, and I couldn't eat anyone when I had you on my neck. But don't worry. I like you, as a meal, you will surely be tasty. My favorite food is muscles, and I wonder how your wings will taste."
In his eyes, I saw panic and sadness. In his eyes, you could see him trying to fight and get up. But it was futile. His body was paralyzed.
I stood over him. "Thanks for the meal." I took his hand and put it just under my mask. But suddenly, my instincts took over.
Some fabric wrapped around my hand. I looked behind me and saw a homeless man with a mask. I reached for him with my other hand, which was free, 'Bullet bugs,' but nothing.
'Nothing. What's happening?' But I didn't have time to think because that fabric started pulling me. I could resist, but I let myself be dragged.
I flew towards him, in the air, I turned and kicked him, I tried to create those bugs again, but again, nothing. I looked at him and saw red eyes.
"Tch, well, we both know you're very weak. It'll be just a moment, and I'll have a two-course dinner."
"Do you really think this will work for you? There are others on the way, and they'll be here soon." He showed the phone he had our position. 'I can't be caught here.'
I quickly ran to Hawks. But before I could do it, something hit me. It was someone's fist. It didn't do anything to me. I let myself be propelled by that fist. When I saw who it was, it was some orca. 'Tch, I'll have to run away again. Bob, get ready to escape when I give you a signal, Jeff, when I give you a signal, climb on my arm.' The killer whale ran towards me, and behind him was that fabric.
'Jeff,' I stabbed the orca. Jeff stabbed him, but not entirely because that fabric held my hand, I cut the fabric.
'Bob!' with his limbs, Bob took me, and we started flying. "Next time we see each other you will be just a bunch of eateble meat nothing more."
I was sure I was out of the Heroes' reach. 'That homeless guy was a problem. I couldn't create bugs.'
And I flew in the direction where my target was.
