Commission: Desires of the Kaiju

Long before Kaiju No. 8 would come to be a hero for the defense force, before the tyranny of Kaiju No. 9, a much more well-organized Defense Force battled day in and day out against the growing number of Kaiju beast-like threats. 

Despite their proud and positive outlook of keeping the kaiju threat contained, the Defense Force didn't realize the kaiju were slowly getting stronger and smarter. With another whirl of a siren, the first three divisions of the Defense Force rolled out, expecting another simple clash of beasts but quickly learning they were in for more than they realized. 

"This is unit two: more kaiju in sector nine!" 

"This is unit five, a new Kaiju hole in sector eight, lots of them popping up!" 

"This is an aerial unit, tons of Kaiju coming from sea and air!" 

The reports flooded in over the intercom; leader of Division Three, Mina Ashiro, looked horrified at the increasing reports. 

"What’s going on, they don't normally... act so coordinated..." she said deep in thought. 

"Captain!" her subordinates all cried out as a few Kaiju still remained in front of them. 

"I got this; go and back up the others. I shall join you once I've cleaned up here!" she barked her orders. The soldiers were hesitant but nodded. 

"Sir!" they all shouted and hurried off as Mina lifted her large gun weapon. 

"Come on, you bastards!" she shouted, mowing down the Kaiju in front of her with her massive gun.

Commission: Failure of Frieren

 

"Well, Frieren, shall we put it all on the line and lay our souls bare?" Aura shouted out with a sadistic smirk, holding up her magical scale that would weigh her power against Frieren's.



"Hrmm, go ahead, but do not regret your choice," Frieren calmly said as Aura chuckled and held up the scale higher into the air as it weighed their magical power.



"I shall enslave you now!" Aura cried out as the scale began to weigh them, with the scale quickly tipping in her favor. "Hahahah, just like that, I will win!" Aura cheered as Frieren let a small smirk on her face appear.



"Sure about that?" Frieren asked as Aura's eyes widened; in that moment time stopped. All it would take for Frieren to come out on top was a second, and Aura felt it. This wasn't the first time she faced someone who suppressed their power, and as the power was about to explode, she felt it, like a wave of water; she felt it about to unleash from Frieren and wash over her.



However, Aura had trained herself, knowing that in her scale battle anything could swing to the other side in a heartbeat. Before she could think or react, one of her fingers twitched and caused one of her undead servants in reserve to act in an instant.



"Because-" Frieren began to say, about to release her pent-up power, but in that moment, something jumped out of the ground, a long undead worm-type creature that had no presence that tightly wrapped itself around Frieren. Its sticky body was wrapping tightly over her limbs and face, throwing Frieren off balance for a moment as its moving pincer legs poked into Frieren's limbs all over her body, temporarily paralyzing her as well. "MPHPM!"



"HA! ENSLAVE!" Aura cried out as the scale stayed in her favor, making its final judgment as it saw her with the most power as Frieren's power remained sealed and lost in the moment of the worm attack as a powerful aura washed over Frieren’s body.



"N-No, no, it can't, I... I hesitated for a moment too long!" Frieren thought horrified, and the moment she did, Himmel spoke to her from a long-distant memory.
