Setting course for the Tower, Dino did a system check for himself. He wanted to say he could last for another 100 years. But he couldn't. Sure, getting a Vandal blade through the chest is bound to hurt, but the damage was above the estimated damage his Damage Management Program had come up with. But there was something suspicious about the damage caused… Panic surged through him.
"Launching Virus Detection Program," a metallic voice whispered.
Taking his eyes off the sky, Dino looked at the hole in his chest. The Repair System worked. That was good. A bunch of thin metal had tried to cover up the hole, but with a single thought, was opened up by Dino. What he saw was the bad part. Almost stainless steel shards had embedded themselves into the metal in Dino's chest.
"No virus detected. Zero unusual programs found. Virus Detection Program shutting down," the same metallic voice whispered, making Dino to let out a sigh of relief.
"So, its just the electricity from the blade, huh? The Fallen sure are advancing in terms of combat damage capabillity now," Dino hoped he could at least last until Lily could get his main programming out of him and transfer him into another vacant Exo skeleton.
Gritting his teeth, Ethan stabilized his ship, blood spilled on the control panels.
"Dino's ship has been destroyed," his Ghost warned him, completely worried.
As the ship shook from another explosion, Ethan smiled, his hair covering the upper part of his now completely bloodied face.
"Get her to safety, ya hunk of metal…" were Ethan's last words before an explosion tore through his ship's hull, engulfing him in flames. Later, a Warlock bond was fashioned after his death, it's name being the Seal of the Twin Eagle, after his facination with twin eagle logos.
Hey guys, hope you don't mind this short-chapter-uploading thing I've been doing. Anyway, woke up today feeling sick. So, the uploading may or may not increase for this week by one chapter :P. Have a good day, and a good year!(Btw I also have quite a lot of anime to finish, so meh...)
