Disclaimer: I don't own Casshern Sins
With their backing by Luna, support for Naricent had bottomed out. Now, Casshern and the others were gathered in Ringo's residence planning out their next move. Casshern was seated in a chair by the table.
"The time is now strike." said Ringo.
"Sophitia agrees, we should kill Naricent now." agreed the android.
Casshern sighed and stood up.
"Indeed. It is time to make our move." agreed Casshern.
This led to cheers from the others.
"What is the plan?" asked Alexandra.
"Our allied faces will aid us handling Naricent's main force while Sophitia, Friender and I will deal with Naricent and his minions." answered Casshern.
"Sophitia agrees to this." said the android eagerly.
Friender barked signaling his support.
"We need to move out soon, before Naricent can build sufficient defense." said Casshern.
"Right." agreed Gregory.
Sensing what he was getting at, Casshern quickly addressed Gregory and Alexandra.
"You two are not coming with us." said Casshern.
"Why not?" asked Alexandra.
"It's far too dangerous." answered Casshern.
"We can handle it." protested Gregory.
"No. I don't want any more innocent to die." rejected Casshern.
The two looked at each other and sighed.
"Fine." relented Alexandra.
"We will stay here Casshern but, you must kill Naricent." said Gregory.
"I plan too." replied Casshern.
"We're be with you in spirit Casshern." said Holder.
"Thank you." replied Casshern.
"I'm going with you." stated Ringo firmly.
"No." said Casshern.
"Honey, just like Casshern said earlier it is too dangerous." said Holder.
"I don't care!" snapped Ringo.
"I am not taking you." said Casshern.
"I traveled with you and Lyuze when I as a little girl." noted Ringo.
"That is a terrible regret." sighed Casshern.
"Casshern, I won't let you leave on your own." protested Ringo.
"I won't risk you." said Casshern.
"But-" began Ringo.
"What is your really problem?" asked Casshern.
"I don't want to lose you again." answered Ringo.
A moment of silence surrounded everyone in the room.
"I see." said Casshern softly.
"I lost you once and I will not lose you again." stated Ringo.
"I feel the exact same and that is why I won't let you come with me." said Casshern.
Ringo thought for a moment then turned away.
"We need to get going. if we leave soon, we can get there in the morning." said Casshern.
"Ready!" declared Sophitia.
"Woof!" barked Friender.
They got ready to go when Ringo got in the way.
"Ringo..." began Holder.
"Casshern, promise me something." requested Ringo.
"What is it?" asked Casshern.
"Come back." answered Ringo.
"I promise." replied Casshern.
Casshern and his forces left making the lengthy trek toward their destination. They waited the night and continued on the next morning. After a long march, they reached their destination.
"Let's go." said Casshern.
A patrol robot loyal to Naricent was pacing the ground waiting. Seeing his oppetunity, Casshern jumped out in front of the robot.
"Ahh" cried the alarmed robot.
Before the robot could react, Casshern drove his arm through the robot's chest.
"Hey! Stop there!" cried a robot.
A trio of robots charged over to Casshern. However, Sophitia suddenly appeared in front of them. Sophitia swung her blade and bifurcated the nearest robot.
Seeing their comrade die, the other two both attacked but, Sophitia easily dodged their attack. She swung her sword and cut right through the other two robots. A nearby robot witnesses this occur.
"We're under attack!" cried the robot.
Casshern turned and attacked. Casshern grabbed the robot and ripped him in half.
"Let's go!" called Sophitia.
The forces loyal to Casshern attacked charging the castle. Naricent's minions poured of the castle and engaged them.
A group of four robots attacked Sophitia. Sophitia quickly cut the first robot down with her blade and then did a split to avoid being attack. Sophitia then quickly jumped into the air and came down cutting a robot in half with her blade.
The other two attacked but, Sophitia jumped and the two attacked each other.
"You need to be more careful." laughed Sophitia.
Sophitia the swung her blade and easily cut down the two robots.
In the castle above, Green Ogre watched the preliminary fighting and saw both Sophitia and Casshern.
"So, the time has come." mused Green Ogre.
With that, Green Ogre walked off and headed down the hallway staying calm. He arrived at the throne room of Naricent and knocked.
"I am busy!" declared Naricent.
"My lord, we are under attack." noted Green Ogre.
"I know that you fool!" snapped Naricent.
"We will see who the fool is soon." thought Green Ogre.
"For now, we must rally our forces." said Naricent.
"I will rally our forces my lord." proposed Green Ogre.
"Good." said Naricent.
"Our time has come." said Green Ogre to himself.
"You are a fool." thought Naricent.
Green Ogre headed down the hallways toward his comrades. He did rally forces to defeat the invading forces as he wanted something to rule after his coup. Green Ogre found his five co-conspirators waiting for him.
"I am sure you are aware what is occurring." began Green Ogre.
"Yes my lord." replied the five.
"It is time for our coup!" declared Green Ogre.
This got cheers from all the members except Rovmar.
"Green Ogre, is there any chance we can wait until after the battle to launch our coup?" asked Rovmar.
"No." answered Green Ogre.
"But sir-" began Rovmar.
"We are not waiting." interrupted Ganymede.
"Naricent has betrayed his kind and now is our time." added Rouge.
"Exactly, this will NOT be changed or delayed." stated Green Ogre forcefully
"If will not join us, then we can just kill you now." proposed Wily.
"I am not going to betray you!" declared Rovmar.
"Then join us." said Naymar.
"I will." relented Rovmar.
Meanwhile, the battle ranged on outside. The forces loyal to Casshern continued their battle with the forces loyal to Naricent. The battle was turning in favor of Casshern's forces. Sophitia lead the way cutting through every robot in his way. Casshern was ripping through the robots that came his way.
"Keep going! We're making gains!" declared Casshern.
"You aren't going anywhere!" cried a robot.
The robot attacked but, Casshern dodged and smashed the robot in piece.
"Let's go!" called Casshern.
Back inside the castle, robots ran up and down the hallways in a frantic manner. They pro-Naricent forces were running into position and trying everything in their power to defend the castle. Green Ogre walked through the throngs of robots with his five followers behind him. Green Ogre and his co-conspirators arrived at Naricent's throne room and Green Ogre threw the doors open.
"I should not have to remind YOU about barging into my throne room." said Naricent.
"It won't be your throne room much longer." replied Green Ogre smugly.
"So, you're pulling off a coup. I must admit, that is very bold and your timing is perfect." mused Naricent.
"Well thank you for that compliment my lord." said Green Ogre sarcastically.
"However, there is a fatal problem with you coup." stated Naricent.
"What exactly is that?" asked Green Ogre.
"I knew about it all along." answered Naricent.
Naricent snapped his fingers and hordes of robots burst into the room surrounding Green Ogre and his co-conspirators.
"This isn't possible!" cried Green Ogre shaking.
Naricent let out a hardy chuckle hearing his traitorous subordinate's woes.
"It's damn true." said Naricent smugly.
"But...but how?" asked Green Ogre.
"I've had a mole in your treasonous ranks since the beginning." answered Naricent.
"I already know who you are talking about." answered Green Ogre.
Green Ogre and four of his fellow co-conspirators turned to face Rovmar.
"It...it wasn't me." said Rovmar.
"Save the lies! It is obvious you were the mole!"" cried Nayman.
"We never should have trusted you." added Rouge.
"What should we do with him?" asked Wily.
"I say we send him to scrap heap." answered Ganymede.
"That sounds perfect to me." replied Green Ogre.
"Please...don't..." begged Rovmar.
This plea fell on deaf ears as the others pounced on Rovmar.
Rovmar dodged an attack by Naymar and fell back. However, Rouge struck him from behind and knocked him to the ground. Ganymede, Nayman, Rouge and Wily assaulted Rovmar crushing him.
"Stop! Please!" cried Rovmar.
"Rip of his limbs!" ordered Green Ogre.
The other followed the order. Rouge grabbed his left arm, Nayman grabbed his left arm, Ganymede grabbed his right arm and Wily grabbed his left arm. The four then pulled and ripped him limbs off.
"Back off." ordered Green Ogre.
They followed the order and backed off allowing Green Ogre to walk up to Rovmar.
"You dirty traitor." spat Green Ogre.
Green Ogre lifted his foot and up and crushed Rovmar's head.
"My. You were truly worthless." noted Naricent.
"This doesn't change anything." said Green Ogre, with a false bravado.
"Before you make you move, I have a question for you." said Naricent.
"Go ahead. It will be your last words." replied Green Ogre.
"If Rovmar was my mole, why did I defend him?" asked Naricent.
"You use anyone that works for you." answered Green Ogre.
"I don't think so." answered Naricent.
Suddenly, a smashing noise got Green Ogre's attention. He, Nayman and Rouge turned to see Ganymede laid out on the ground. Wily stood above him.
"What are you doing?" asked Green Ogre.
"I think everyone knows who the mole is now." answered Wily.
"You bastard!" cried Green Ogre.
Naricent's loyal forces attacked with Wily at their lead. Green Ogre and the Robotic Salvation Front fought for their lives but, the numbers caught up.
Rouge dodged several attacked bobbing and weaving to avoid attack. However, a blade from one of Naricent's subordinates cut her and sent her backwards. The robot responsible turned back and cleaved Rouge in half.
Nayman found himself being surrounded and pummeled despite his best attempts to avoid attack. One of the robots picked Nayman up and slammed him to the ground smashing him to pieces.
Green Ogre managed to hold his own and forged a gap in the attacking robots. Green Ogre fought through this gap and escaped.
"Dammit!" snapped Wily.
Naricent walked over to Ganymede and picked him up. Naricent put his hands Ganymede's head.
"Wily, find him." ordered Naricent, crushing Ganymede's head.
Wily obeyed and followed suit. The yellow robot raced through the castle and caught up to Green Ogre. Trying to escape, Green Ogre jumped out a window landing at the castle entrance. Wily followed suit but, they found two figures waiting: Casshern and Sophitia.
"You two." sneered Green Ogre.
"Hello again." said Sophitia.
"That traitor is mine!" declared Wily.
"Traitor." said Casshern surprised.
"He tried to overthrow Lord Naricent. However, I worked as a mole and now his comrades are dead." explained Wily.
Wily attacked but, Casshern intercepted him. Casshern kicked Wily sending him into the castle. Casshern grabbed Wily's head and in one clean motion he ripped Wily's head off.
"Why did you do that?" asked Green Ogre.
"I would have had to anyway." answered Casshern.
Casshern turned and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Green Ogre attacking. Casshern easily dodged the attack.
"If I kill you two, I can make amends to Lord Naricent! You will be my sacrifice!" declared Green Ogre.
"Let Sophitia fight him. He and Sophitia have to finish what we began when Sophitia and you first met." said the android.
Casshern nodded and took off. Green Ogre tried to stop him but, Sophitia stopped him.
"Let's fight." said Sophitia.
