A/N: Hello to all I am back with chapter ten of "Redemption". In this chapter, Casshern visits a familiar face while more of the coup is planned.
Disclaimer: I don't own Casshern Sins
Following the battle, Casshern took command of the former armies after their own request. They had set up a camp nearby and were waiting orders from Cashhern. Back inside, Casshern and the others were seated down to to discuss this new development. Holder was in another room with Lyzue.
"Well, Sophitia didn't expect this to occur." said the android.
"I'm just glad they came to our side." said Casshern.
"There's no way they'd fight for Naricent after they found out he wasn't trustworthy." said Gregory.
"Nobody can trust that bastard!" spat Ringo.
"I'll agree with that." said Alexandra.
"Let's go ruin Naricent." said Sophitia.
"We can't. Not yet anyway." replied Casshern.
"Why?" asked Sophitia.
"Naricent will rally more innocent people to try and attack us." answered Casshern.
"Dammit, he's right." sighed Ringo.
"So, then we'll have to find a way to fix that." said Alexandra.
"But, how?" asked Gregory.
"Casshern will due it." answered Ringo.
"I can't." said Casshern, shaking his head.
"Of course you can." replied Ringo.
"Why not?" asked Gregory.
"I'm the man who caused the Ruin. I'll only cause division." answered Casshern.
"But, you killed Braiking Boss." noted Alexandra.
"That doesn't matter." said Casshern.
"Then who can do help us?" asked Gregory.
"Luna." answered Casshern.
"No way!" cried Ringo.
"Look Ringo we have to." said Casshern.
"I don't see why." huffed Ringo.
"Luna has proved she can unified humans and robots. If she allies with us we might be able to save innocent people from being conned to sacrifice their lives for Naricent." explained Casshern.
"I think we should." said Gregory.
"What?!" asked Alexandra surprised.
"Casshern makes a lot of sense. I think he's on to something." answered Gregory.
"But, we both rejected Luna and her salvation." noted Alexandra.
"Indeed but, right now we need her help and she can atone for what previous occurred." explained Gregory.
"I don't know..." said Alexandra confused.
"Well if Casshern thinks Luna can help us then Sophitia supports him." said the android.
"I guess so." said Alexandra.
"Well I'm still not convinced." stated Ringo vehemently.
"I know we both saw the terrible things that Luna allowed to happen before. What happened to Dune. However, we need Luna to help us." replied Casshern.
"I don't want anything to do with her." humped Ringo.
"I'm not asking you to." said Casshern.
"Casshern, I am not comfortable with this." said Ringo.
"Ringo, you know I committed the Ruin by killing Luna." began Casshern.
"Of course. But, you aren't like that." said Ringo.
"Why is that?" asked Casshern.
"You are not a terrible person. You were great with Lyuze, Ohji and myself. You made up for the Ruin by killing Braiking Boss." answered Ringo.
"Exactly. I redeemed myself and now Luna can do the same." said Casshern.
Ringo stopped and thought for a minute. She let out a deep sigh and leaned back.
"Fine." said Ringo.
"Sophitia, let's go." said Casshern.
"Yeah!" declared Sophitia.
With that the deal was settled. Casshern and Sophitia departed from Ringo's residence and began their trek. They managed to reach Luna's castle. Luna's guards saw the two and quickly deserted their positions knowing who they were dealing with. With no resistance, the two easily made it to the throne room.
"Who is there?" asked Luna.
"It's me." answered Casshern.
Casshern stepped forward with Sophitia right behind him. Upon seeing Casshern again, Luna's heart dropped.
"No! Stay back! Please don't kill me!" cried Luna.
The Sun named Moon feel to the ground and scooted backwards. She curled up against the wall trembling.
"Last time you were here you said you would return to remind people of death." noted Luna.
"Luna, I haven't come for that." said Casshern.
"Yeah, we came for your help." added Sophitia.
"What?" asked Luna, surprised.
"Naricent. He's luring in robots to fight for him." began Casshern.
"Just like Braiking Boss." noted Luna.
"However, he is also luring humans into fighting for him as well." continued Casshern.
"How?" asked Sophitia.
"He convinced them I am a significant enough threat to unite against me." answered Casshern.
"That does make sense." replied Luna.
"That's where we need you." said Sophitia.
"What do you need?" asked Luna.
"You are the only one who can united robots and humans together. We need you do make sure nobody is lured into fighting for Naricent." explained Casshern.
"No." stated Luna blunt.
"Why?!" asked Casshern startled.
"I am no longer the old Luna that unified people." answered Luna.
"Yes you are." countered Casshern.
"The Luna you are speaking of was killed by you. Now, please leave me be." said Luna.
Casshern and Sophitia stood their ground unwilling to leave.
"Guards!" called Luna.
A dozen of her robots guards entered the throne room, freezing when they saw Casshern and Sophitia.
"Please remove them." ordered Luna.
The guards look at Casshern who shot them a death glare.
"With all due respect ma'am, we do not feel comfortable following that order." said one of the guards.
"You will do as I say." said Luna forcefully.
"Sir...ma'am...please exit." requested the guard.
"No." replied Casshern icy.
"Okay." said the guard backing off.
"Remove them!" demanded Luna.
"Okay." said a robot nervously.
The guard robot went right up to Casshern and tried to remove him.
"Let's go." said the guard.
"No." said Casshern.
"I'm not going to say it again." stated the guard.
The guard tried to grab Casshern and drag him away but, Casshern grabbed the guard and ripped him in half.
"We're out here!" cried the first guard.
The other robots turned and quickly ran off.
"Useless." spat Luna.
"Luna, I want you to help us.' said Casshern, growing angry.
"I refuse." said Luna.
"You haven't changed." stated Casshern.
Luna didn't answer, she just turned her head.
"What do we do now?" asked Sophitia.
"We're not leaving until Luna helps us." answered Casshern.
"Sophitia understand." said the android.
"You're are wasting your time." stated Luna.
Casshern looked at Luna then marched over and got in her face.
"Luna you are going to help us." said Casshern.
"No." replied Luna.
Casshern slammed her palm against the wall causing it to shake. Despite her best attempts to seem calm, Luna did flinch.
"You're the same selfish person you've been before." said Casshern angrily.
"I can't help you." said Luna again.
"Why?" asked Casshern.
"Because I can't." answered Luna.
"Why can't you?" asked Casshern.
"Because I don't deserve to." answered Luna.
"I don't understand." replied Casshern.
"I was the Sun named Moon who brought hope to all. I was see as a messiah with a cult devoted to me and I betrayed them all by becoming hardened and refusing to save those who needed it." explained Luna.
"You're remorseful." realized Casshern.
"I don't deserve to be anyone's messiah. I'm nothing but a false prophet." said Luna sadly.
"This is partially my fault. If I didn't kill you this wouldn't have happened." said Casshern.
"It's not your fault." said Sophitia concerned.
Casshern gave Sophitia a look to reassure her then focused on Luna.
"I know how you feel. I felt the same regret and self-hatred after I returned and realized what I had done." said Casshern.
Casshern clenched his fists remembering those who he'd meet who had died: the commune Friender came from, Akos, Nico, Margo, Holt, Holty, Holter, Dune, Ohji and Lyuze.
"However, I managed to pull myself back and you can to. Doing this will start you toward your redemption." said Casshern.
Casshern held out his hand.
"Luna, please help us." requested Casshern.
"Okay." said Luna, shaking Casshern's hand.
In their dark meeting room, Green Ogre and his comrades were gathered together. This was to be their last meeting before their upcoming coup against Naricent. Green Ogre wanted everything planned out to make sure nothing went wrong.
"All right. I am sure you all recall our plan to enact our coup." said Green Ogre.
"Yes." replied the other five.
"Excellent. When we launch our coup we will bring down the robot traitor Naricent and restore robot order!" declared Green Ogre.
"Green Ogre, we've all been wondering what exactly we will be getting from this deal." said Rouge.
"Besides removing Naricent, we don't seem to being getting too much for all the risk we're taking." added Ganymede.
"You will all served as my top generals." said Green Ogre.
"We want more than just that." said Wily.
"What do you want?" asked Green Ogre.
"Ranks of nobility, castles of our own and human slaves to serve us." answered Nayman.
"Fine." said Green Ogre.
The other four cheered at this but, Rovmar remained silent.
"Rovar, are you still loyal to Naricent?" asked Green Ogre.
"I still think we're jumping the gun." answered Rovmar.
"Rovmar, are you going to betray us?" asked Rouge angrily.
"If so then I would have do so already." answered Rovmar.
"Unless you're luring us into a trap." said Wily.
"I would never do that!" cried Rovmar.
"There's no way we could be sure of that." said Ganymede.
"I promise that I wouldn't." said Rovmar.
"That's not good enough." spat Wily.
"Enough!" cried Green Ogre.
The other four robots backed off leaving Green Ogre facing Rovmar.
"Don't you dare cross us." said Green Ogre coldly.
"I won't." replied Rovmar.
Following the meeting, the robots dispersed. One in particular headed away and walked around the castle to make sure none of his co-conspirators would see where he was headed. Once he arrived at the throne room of Naricent, he knocked on the door.
"It's me my lord." said the mole.
"Please come in." said Naricent.
The mole walked into the throne room closing the door behind him and walked to Naricent. He bowed before the robot warlord.
"Are they still conspiring against me?" asked Naricent.
"Yes my lord. Green Ogre promised us titles, castles and human slaves to join him." answered the mole.
"Those fools." laughed Green Ogre.
"They still don't know I am a double agent." noted the mole.
"Good. I am glad you are still loyal with this recent news." said Naricent.
"What news is that?" asked the mole.
"A scout saw Casshern and Sophitia headed to Luna's castle." answered Naricent.
"No!" cried the mole.
"The time as come for our final battle!" declared Naricent.
