This was something that I thought of way back when. What if Cz was allowed to live at the end of the series? I thought that Shannon and Cz would have made a nice couple.

Leinwald Kingdom

Cz walked the streets casually searching for the young man named Shannon. She attracted many stares from the men. She was certainly attractive. She was tall, busty, and slim. She had long, dark hair that split into two.

Cz could not help but wonder if she was human instead of an "Apostle of Mauser" what would her relationship be with Shannon.

Cz could not wonder how it happened. When she and Shannon were walking around the capital searching for his adopted sister, the Scrapped Princess, she could not help but feel somewhat attached to the young man.

She was a weapon of destruction, she should not be able to feel any sort of attachment whatsoever. But she did not always appear this way with Shannon.

Before she was 'unzipped' by Steyr, she was thrown into the world not as the tall, attractive woman she was now, but as an eight-year-old child.

She was standing outside in the rain of a small town. The rain was pouring fairly hard and she had no umbrella. Then Shannon walked by. He walked several feet past Cz, or Sim, as she was known then. Then he turned around. He walked back toward Sim, grabbed her hand and handed her his umbrella saying, "You should get out of the rain, you'll catch a cold. Well see ya."

And with that he left. He had barely walked twenty feet when he stopped and turned around again. It was the little girl and she was dragging along the umbrella he just handed to her. Shannon sighed and said, "Stop following me, you're only going to get into trouble."

Again he started to walk, but soon he felt something pulling on his traveling cloak. Apparently Sim wanted to tag along with Shannon.

Shannon sighed again, but decided to take her back to the rundown building they were staying at temporarily.

For Sim, Shannon was now her new protector and guardian.
