Chapter .11

Returning to the den Alisa was heading to the front desk to get the next mission while Lance waited by the door, after a few minutes passed he sat on the sofa and pulled a chocolate out of his jacket, he just started to unwrap it when Alisa came up the stairs "Hey Lance I've got our next mission"

"Cool where do we go and what do we kill"

"A borg camlann in the forgotten carrier"

"Then I'd better change, here" Lance gave the chocolate to her and went to the elevator. Alisa looked at the half unwrapped candy and took a bite, the chocolate was very sweet and soft unlike the rationed chocolate she's had before, she enjoyed every bite oblivious to the world around her "Was it good" The girl nearly jumped went Lance came up to her, he wore his blue battle jacket and white medic pants "Come on let's bounce" the two head back out the door to the outer world.

An hour later the pair were on the bridge the the crashed ship "So you made that chocolate" asked Alisa.

"Yeah I never eat in the cafeteria I just get some stuff from the kitchens and take back to my room then cook it into something I can actuality eat"

"When did you learn to cook"

"Three years ago it was a necessarily skill" At the end of the bridge the two found they're target "Okay I'll hit with a rain shot then rush in you cover me with some gunfire the run in when you're out of ammo"

Lance fired into the sky and several fire bullets rained on the aragami's body. The borg camlann looked around to find it's attacker only for Lance to slide under it and slash at it's legs. The aragami jumped forward to escape Lance's assault, Alisa stopped firing and switched her god arc to sword mode but the scorpion raised it's shield arms to take the bulk of the attack. The borg camlann spun around swinging it's tail to strike everyone around it, Alisa's shield saved her but lance didn't see it the attack till it was too late. Lance jumped back to dodge yet the tip of it's tail cut through his chest, spilling his blood. Alisa tried to switch back to her gun to give him a rebut the giant scorpion spun it's tail again and she need her shield again, Lance rushed back to the fight and this time he turned to the attack and cut off the needle end. the monster turned to Lance and lounged it's blunted tail at him. Lance sidestepped then ran up the tail, the aragami pulled it's tail back up and the boy jumped off, back-flipped, then land on it with his god arc running through it's head. The borg camlann fell to the ground, "Alisa what are you waiting for, carve it" The slash at it's face with Lance stabbing from above. The aragami tried to get up but failed and died without another sound.

Lance jumped off and that's when Alisa saw it. Lance's shirt was cut open with blood stains on it and his chest, Alisa lifted up his shirt and was even more surprised, there was blood but no cut not even a scratch.

"Alisa what are you doing"

The girl's face went red, realizing what she had done she stepped back to regain her composer "I, there's blood on you I saw you get hit, I saw you bleed"

"Yeah the thing cut my shirt but just missed me, this blood isn't mine It's the aragami that did dieing, come on there's something I want you to see" Lance lead the way to the aircraft carrier, Alisa looked to where he was standing before the attack, there was a puddle of blood.

Lance and Alisa climbed through the ship and reached the top level, Lance opened the door to a balcony with an unblocked view of the sea, the sunset, and the city in the distance "beautiful isn't it" Asked Lance. The two sat by the door on the balcony watching the sun sink into the water, a chilled wind blow across the carrier Lance noticed his partner shiver slightly "Here put this on" the boy took off his jacket draped it over her.

"Thank you Lance but won't you be cold"

"I'll be fine I like the cold" The jacket felt clean and somewhat warm inside Alisa moved her arms through the sleeves and into the gloves she could almost feel Lance strength.

A loud ringing was heard, Lance reached into the jacket and grabbed his phone "Hello... yes she's with me... we're fine on one's hurt... we'll be back when we get back" he hung up and gave the phone to Alisa "Can you put this back for me, top right pocket"

Alisa did as told then felt around the other pockets, there was a phone, sunglasses, more chocolate, and a pair of small disks with dull hooks on the sides of them. "Hey thous are my headphones, they're wireless so it's less of a hassle" Lance took the headphones and put one in his left ear and the other in Alisa right. He grabbed a black rectangle from his back pocket "This is an Ipod there's supposedly a couple dozen left in the world, I've got three" Lance poked it for a few seconds till sound was coming out of the headphones. "Before the aragami people made music and they were called bands, this bands called Linkin park and this songs called burn it down"

"The cycle repeated as explosions broke in the sky" sang Alisa. Lance was surprised, he was just starting to get her to open up to him and now she was singing "All that I needed was the one thing I couldn't find and you were there at the turn waiting to let me know"

Lance grinned and joined her in the song "We're building it up to break it back down we're building it up to burn it down we can't wait to burn it to the ground"

Alisa looked to Lance and she gave him one of her rare smiles "I also have an Ipod though I keep back at the den"

"Okay then, my turn... The colors conflicted as the flames climbed into the clouds I wanted to fix this, but couldn't stop from tearing it down and you were there at the turn caught in the burning glow" Lance looked at Alisa and in the glow of the setting sun she was gorgeous in his eyes "And I was there at the turn waiting to let you know"

The Russian started to sing with Lance once more "We're building it up to break it back down we're building it up to burn it down we can't wait to burn it to the ground" Lance shot up and stepped to the railing "You told me yes, you held me high and I believed when you told that lie I played that soldier, you played king and struck me down when I kissed that ring you lost that right, to hold that crown I built you up but you let me down so when you fall, I'll take my turn and fan the flames as your blazes burn"

Alisa got up stood beside Lance "And you were there at the turn waiting to let me know"

"We're building it up To break it back down We're building it up To burn it down We can't wait To burn it to the ground" sang the two gods eaters.

"When you fall, I'll take my turn and fan the flames as your blazes burn"

"We can't wait To burn it to the ground"

"When you fall, I'll take my turn and fan the flames as your blazes burn"

"We can't wait To burn it to the ground"

The song ended and took the Ipod and headphones then put them away. "Come on let's go home" Lance gestured to the door and they left.

Once they were off the ship and back on the bridge Alisa looked to Lance and asked "So who called"

"Tsubaki, why"

"And you're not afraid of her"

Lance waved it off "No, I don't see why she just a wind bag"

"I dare you to say that to her face"

"I did actually"

"And what happened"

"Nothing, like I said wind bag" the two walked across the bridge for the journey home. Lance was glad Alisa was opening up to him and Alisa was happy to have a friend.
