Lover's Scorn
The Maverick revealed herself to be a female reploid, with brunette hair, brown eyes and her armor was completely white. She smiled down at Dusk who was now on his knees, "Where he belongs." She thought to herself.
"Well does seeing me give you that much guilt?"
"Aura how can you be alive, I saw the entire town wiped out. Everything and everyone was completely devastated, nothing was left."
"Really, well if that's the truth why am I still here then?" Aura yelled at Dusk.
Dusk just sat there quiet, for he could not give her an answer. If she had lived through that hell alone anything she did to him was necessary as atonement. This was the only thought going through Dusk's mind right now.
"Aura listen to me…"
"SHUT UP!! My name's not Aura anymore, she's dead and buried to the world. I'm Battle Aura and I am here for the buster part, now hand it over."
"If you remember me so well then you already know my answer."
"And I was so counting on it." Battle Aura jumped from her perch and head straight for Dusk. Unable to dodge her strike Dusk just accepted the punch that sent him flying backwards. Before he hit the ground B.A. was on him laying into him with a furious set of blows. Dusk could feel the years of pain and resentment in each punch, he accepted them all since he had failed her. As he hit the ground he groggily rose to his feet, but B.A. was already on him hitting him to no end.
"Is this all you can do after these years, just stand there!" B.A. yelled
"What would you have me do? I swore I would never bring you any harm and I never will."
"Don't give me that bullshit!" B.A. let a massive blow loose that sent Dusk sliding back.
"This isn't what I envisioned all those years. For me to feel satisfied you need to be at 100, I'll just take the part and wait for the right opportunity." B.A. walked toward Dusk's bruised and battered body. As she reached for the part Dusk knocked her hand away.
"My job is to see this safely to Maverick Hunter HQ, I can not give it up freely while I still stand." Dusk stood there bruised and with synthetic blood flowing down from open wounds on his arms and chest.
"Well then I guess you'll just have to fall." B.A. held out her hand and some invisible force grasped Dusk and began to squeeze him. The force lifted him off the ground and squeezed him harder, until a popping and cracking sound could be heard. With a devilish smile across her face B.A. noticed something fall to the ground, it was a buster cover. She walked over and picked it up.
"Well it's a little dirty, what with your blood on it, but I have what my master needs now." The force let Dusk go and he fell to the floor. His body broken he looked up at the woman he thought was dead and watched as she walked over to him.
"Thanks." Was all she said as she teleported away, leaving Dusk lying in the dirt. As he lay there his thoughts were distraught with reasons why Aura was still alive. He was positive that the entire town was destroyed and everyone that lived there was killed. So how, how could she still be alive and why did she blame him so much? These thoughts whirled in his head until he blacked out. When he finally lost consciousness his onboard computer initiated his ETS and sent him to the HQ.
