Clash of Cold Hearts - 1
The battle of Narita was in his final stage. The Black Knights and the JLF were at a tie with the forces of Cornelia. But Cornelia herself was in a pinch, Zero the leader of the Black Knights trapped her at the meeting point she waited at for reinforcements.
Damn, this looks really bad. Zero really got me this time, he seems to be a worthy opponent, but never the less I will crush him!
Zero's knightmare was right in front of her. She just had to kill him and this battle would be over. There would be an end to all the chaos and dying of her man. So she charged in with full force, prepared to give this fight her all.
"Die, Zero!"
The time seemed to stop while she charged at him. She got closer and closer every moment. When she was just a few meters away from her desired target, a red coloured knightmare jumped right in front of Zero. It was a model she had never seen before, with a long blank arm at his right side. It sure looked intimidating, but Cornelia wasn't someone who would give in to her fear. So she hardened her resolve.
"Get out of my way, Now!
She moved as fast as she could to throw Zero's defender out of the way, but her attempt was futile. The mysterious new model moved with a speed she only saw from the Lancelot before. She could see the blank and sharp claw of the knightmare move into her direction and she knew that she wouldn't be able to dodge it in time.
So she did the only thing that came to her mind, she started to spin in an attempt to hit the enemy when he was hitting her.
The two knightmares hit each other with a loud crash. Cornelia hit her attacker straight in the side. Her lance sure left a mark at the new model's frame. But what she didn't know was that the attack the new model landed was the only chance it needed to destroy her. It hit her knightmare straight under the head, where it was holding its neck with his long claws.
"It is over, Cornelia. Surrender now or die here." The loud voice of Zero proclaimed to her.
"Don't get to full of yourself, something like this new toy of yours won't be able to stop me!"
She felt angry, very angry. To be mocked by her enemy was always one of her sensitive spots. But this clawed hand made her worry more and more.
Why isn't the pilot doing anything? He should at least try to crush me with it.
"Q1, show her the power of our "toy""
Cornelias instincts were screaming at her to get out the knightmare, as far away as possible from this malicious clawed hand. But it was all too late; she could see effects of this claw before she could to anything. The frame of her knightmare began to expand and crumble. She could feel the power the clawed hand radiated. It strained her body to no end to just be inside the cockpit. So she did the only thing possible for her, she ejected out of the knightmare.
Her world was shaking, she didn't know were the ground or the sky was anymore. This weapon of the new model sure was a deadly tool if it was used the right way.
She crashed into the ground, not even 50 meters away from her now destroyed knightmare.
DAMN, my ejection system must have been damaged too. Normally I would have been transported a safe distance away. But what to do now? I have no chance of killing Zero like this, especially with this red knigthmare by his side. My only chance is to hold him off until Guilford and my honour guard arrives.
So she climbed out of her escape pod. It looked really damaged on the outside; she must have made it of the knightmare at the last possible moment.
"So we meet face to face again, Cornelia" The booming voice of Zero declared.
He was out of his own knightmare, facing her with his mask on. She really wondered what kind of a person would be under it. But she had other problems now.
"So you still don't want to show me your face. Are you afraid that I will tell everybody your little secret, eleven scum?"
He only laughed; it was his false and mocking laughter. It made Cornelia fume inside.
"Did I ever proclaim to be an eleven, dear Cornelia? In fact I am a true Britannian like you! Now tell me how do you feel about this little revelation of my, Cornelia?"
To say she was shocked was an understatement. She just couldn't believe it, the murderer of so many Britannians and rebel against the Empire itself proclaimed to be a Britannian himself? Why would someone do something like that against his own kind?
"You are lying, there would be no Britannian with such a sharp mind and good command skill who would rebel against Britannia."
"How naïve you are. Don't think that Britannia is that great of an Empire! It's rotten to its core! They banish and torment the weak and only the strong have a chance to survive! This is the reason why I will change this world, to give hope and peace to those without power! The strong shall never bully the weak again!"
These speak of his really surprised her. She had never looked at Britannia that way. But her problem was surviving right now.
I need to make him talk with me some more. Guilford should be here any time now, I hope.
But about what can I talk with him now?
While she was deep in thoughts a giant beam was shot right trough the rift they were in now. Shortly after the loud explosion a white knightmare jumped out of the newly made way.
It's the Lancelot! Now is my chance to get Zero!
With these thoughts in mind Cornelia sprinted to Zero.
The Lancelot and the red Knightmare were in the midst of battle. With their speed at a tie there wasn't going to be a winner soon.
Cornelia used her chance to tackle the unaware Zero. They both fell with a loud thump.
Zero seemed to be totally helpless in hand to hand combat. His mind was sharp but his body was weak. So he had no chance against the enraged Cornelia.
"Now is the time to die, traitor!"
She put her hands around Zero's neck and started to strangle him with all her hatred and anger towards him. Zero had to do something, and he had to do it fast. So he opened a part of his mask, to show his left eye.
"Let go of me" he ordered her with his last breath.
…
Cornelia didn't know what happened but she was kneeling on the ground, without Zero under her. She was sure that she tackled him. But where was he now? It seemed like a part of her memory was lost. Was it his mysterious power all his victims spoke of?
"I want you to know that you were a worth opponent and a great women, Cornelia, but I have to kill you now. It really saddens me but rest assured I won't harm your sister."
While he said this Cornelia could feel the hard steel of a pistol be pressed against her head.
She closed her eyes, preparing herself for the inevitable.
Is this the way I am going to die? Killed by a power crazed lunatic… At least he told me he wouldn't harm Euphie… I never really was the soft type, I just regret I never found a man I could love, to be loved from… So this is goodbye then, Euphie, Guilford, everyone……
She waited for him to shot. With a saddened look on her face she waited, for her death, her last words already spoken.
She waited and it seemed like an eternity to her, but the shot never came. She opened her eyes to see Zero; still holding a gun to her head, standing there like he was frozen. She really wanted to know what was going on in his head right now.
And then his hand started to tremble, his hand with the gun moving away from her head. He tossed the gun away and started to go away. Without a word.
Cornelia couldn't believe it. He had the chance to kill her, but he didn't? She couldn't let that slide so she chased after him, quickly catching up to him.
When she reached him she could see that his hands were still trembling and he clenched them into fist with all his might. She couldn't believe it, a power crazed lunatic isn't using his chance to kill his prey and get closer to his goal?
"You are not all that lunatic, aren't you? Why didn't you shoot me? Why do you even kill if you don't have the guts to do it?!"
Her voice was soft in the beginning, very unlike of Cornelia, but she soon got her bearings and returned to her old command like voice.
She waited for Zero to answer her, but an answer never came, he just stood there seemingly frozen. She wanted to ask him again but suddenly all went white around her, then everything turned black……………………..
