Nier Chapter 108 (Patreon)

"So what's it going to be Cinder Fall? You want to be tagged and collared like a pet or will blood be spilled." I asked dully. Honestly, I didn't trust her for a moment but YoRHa's technology was literally ten thousand years beyond Remnant's in terms of rugged military application.

And almost impossible to find or hack bombs and trackers were very much in that domain so should those be implanted within them I had no doubt I would have more time to find more a more permanent solution to ensure her obedience.

Cinder obviously didn't like my ultimatum and probably was hoping for some kind of partnership in which she could one day screw me over and depose me as she would be my 'queen' or whatever. But my demands were more on the line of making her into a servant.

"I am afraid I have too much pride to become someone's slave. So I am afraid I must decline" Cinder said coldly and with my heightened senses I felt Emerald attempt to ensnare my mind with an illusion while Neopolition also cloaked herself in an illusion.

But Neo actually clearly separated herself from Emerald and Cinder so I looked away from the pink and brown-haired girl as I smiled at Cinder and spoke rhetorically. "I have no idea why being a slave is anything new to you, with your situation with Salem... But then again you work for a woman who partly wants to destroy the world to end her own immortality so your sanity is already to be questioned." I finished taunting Cinder as I held up my sword in front of me and likewise, Cinder conjured her molten glass weapons with her semblance and I saw Emerald start rushing towards me from my side as she assumed I was hallucinating her still standing beside her mistress.

"White do it now," I whispered, and as Emerald attempted to slice open my neck A2 grabbed the blade of her kusarigama and her arm to stop her for a second as she recoiled in shock at her semblance not working on us and then 2B stepped forward. And even with Emerald being my enemy I winced at the sound of 2B's right heel coming down in a brutal axe kick as I heard Emerald's aura shattering under the blow that could shatter machine life form, steel.

"Neopolitan fight him!" Cinder yelled wrathfully but I just waved my hand creating a portal that had dense grey mist pouring out of it that I made sure not to breathe, going as far as to put a thin almost invisible barrier around my mouth so I couldn't breathe any more new air, while A2 carelessly threw Emerald's twitching form through the portal as that kick may very well have given the girl some brain damage with how the sharp end of 2B's heel shattered her aura so easily.

Neo literally just made an illusion of a giant hand emoji that was flipping Cinder off as she also used her illusion semblance to make a box of popcorn that she was pretending to eat as Cinder very painfully realized her plans were falling apart all around her.

"Haa..." Cinder sighed as she took a deep breath. "I see I am all alone now so can renegotiate?" She asked wryly and at my cold smile, she matched it with a bloodthirsty one. "Good, then you can look forward to this flying coliseum falling down out of the sky as before the Amity Colosseum even landed I had bombs wired to its engines that will go off should I die!" Cinder said manically and I could hear White sigh in my ear.

"Ok, Jake you were right. Some humans actually deserve to die... You sure about this?" White asked through my earpiece.

"Yes, I need a cleaner to get their hands dirty," I said confusing Cinder but I looked at my androids and spoke. "Subdue her and don't be afraid to cut off her right arm," I said referencing her arm that was replaced with Grimm flesh. Either way, it was going to get removed as it was going to inevitably corrupt her body beyond repair.

And with Atlas nerve tech with Android prosthetics or just android arms in general she could have a new arm that was indistinguishable from her uncorrupted arm.

For all that Cinder was a powerful fighter especially when she tapped into her Maiden powers and started throwing fireballs around and creating a small tornado of fire to throw at us. She was still gunned down by the PODs as they could dodge any of her fire magic and that open portal was no joke as within not even a couple minutes Cinder teetered and took several Maso bolts from 2B's pod and that impact opened her up to getting slammed in the jaw by the pommel of 6E's oversized sword.

"Go to sleep Cinder... Did you think that the fog coming from the portal is nothing? No its a room filled to the brim with sedative gas." I said walking forward and Cinder groaned with her eyes wild as she attempted to slap at me with her hand covered in potent flames but I slapped her wrist aside and then jumped into the air to knee her into the head hard enough to launch her through the portal that was three meters behind her and still putting out sleeping gas.

As soon as I landed back on my feet and I closed the portal I heard clapping and as I looked back I saw Neo had her jacket pulled out to cover her mouth with one hand but in the other, she held a sign that said '9/10 for the launch but no teeth came out so the loss of one point.'

"I like her. Can we keep her Jake?" A2 laughed at the sign while 2B and E6 confirmed with White that the cameras were under our control.

I gave A2 an even look before grinning as I spoke. "I don't know... Alright A2 but you gotta keep the ice cream goblin clean and make sure it doesn't make a mess." I said jokingly but then my eye twitched as Neo skipped out and with a flourish of light a leash with a sexy collar formed around Neo's neck that she handed to me and I just stood there looking at the said leash in my hand wondering where the fuck my life was heading.
