Chapter 16: Nuit d'Amour (Almost)
That night of our date, sparks between Ciel and I flew. We sat on the bench from earlier staring at the night sky.
"I will never get tired of looking at the sky," I say. "Despite, all that's happened."
"This is true," she replied. "I don't know why the stars are so enchanting."
"I guess what has us looking at the sky is the curiosity we have about what's out there," I shrug.
"I guess so," she replied.
"Hey, Alpha," I called to him.
"Yeah, kid?" He replied.
"Where is your planet?"
"I lived on two planets in my lifetime," he told me.
"These are?"
"Planet AM was mine and my brother's home planet," he explained. "Planet AM was destroyed by Planet FM and both me and my brother just started to live on FM."
"That somewhat tells me why you fight," I say.
"You wanted to avenge your people?" Ciel asked.
"Yeah," he answered. "My brother, on the other hand, had different ideas."
"I see," I say.
"I'll just leave you two alone," Alpha dematerialized.
"He still didn't tell me a thing about where his planet is," I say.
Alpha materialized.
"The farthest star from the Orion constellation is where Planet AM was located," he said. "Planet FM is the neighboring planet."
He once again leaves Ciel and I under the stars.
"Hey," A voice says.
It was Model A. The Biometal of Grey and Ashe
"You both are needed," Model A said.
"An attack?"
"Yup."
Chapter 17: The Queen and the Jack
I was once again sent to the city to deal with yet another disturbance. An EM Body in black and another in violet were causing havoc. Leaping off the back of the plane, I hurtled down and Wave Changed. I hit the ground HARD.
"We wanted someone else, but you'll do," the boy in black said.
"We wanted another blue boy," the girl in the huge violet skirt said.
"Names," I demand. "Now."
A black crow FM-ian appeared.
"He has a set, doesn't he?" He snickered.
"That he does," a blue humanoid FM-ian appeared.
"Jack!" The Crow cried.
"Tia!" The blue one shouted.
"We are Queen Tia and Jack Corvus!" The shout in unison. "Prepare to be deleted!"
Jack Corvus threw purple fireballs at me while Queen Tia unleashed a group of water dragons on me. I fired the Buster rapidly and destroyed every projectile. I pulled a Battle Card.
"Battle Card!" I shout. "Impact Cannon!"
My arm turns into a big cannon. Taking aim, I fire at Tia. She sidestepped and countered with a wave of water large enough to sweep me away. I fly up and charge my Buster and fired a charged shot. It was a miss. I get hit with a fireball and get hit with a water wave.
Struggling, I get another Battle Card.
"Battle Card!" I shout. "Wide Wave X!"
I aim my Buster and fire off a large wave of water. I hit Jack out of the air and sent Queen Tia flying.
"It's not over, yet!" I shout pulling the Thunder Zerker card.
"What are you planning to do?!" Jack shouted.
"TRIBE ON! THUNDER ZERKER!" I shout.
I pull my sword and swing letting out a wave of electricity. Upon hitting Tia, she was electrocuted and destroyed.
"Sister!" Jack called. "You bastard! You'll pay for this."
He flew at me and swung a wing at me. I swung my sword and the blade hit the steely wing with a sound that can only be described as an electrifying clang. He slashed wildly at me and my sword blocked and deflected each strike. I kick him backwards and pull a Battle Card.
"Time for a dual wield! Battle Card!" I shout. "Bushido X!"
My left arm turns into a katanalike blade.
"An eastern blade in one hand and a western in the other," I say. "Japanese meets European."
We lunge at each other and the sword fight resumes. Blade met wing in speeds that would make each movement undetectable to the human eye.
"Tribe Force Big Bang!" I shout lifting my Sword of Zerker into the air. "Thunder Bolt Blade!"
Lightning struck the blade and it grew in size. I slashed it wildly and broke through Jack's wings shattering them.
"This battle's done!" I yell.
I brought the blade down one more time and cut Jack clean in half.
"A simple Jack isn't strong enough to engage in combat with a knight," I say sheathing the sword.
