~Chapter 12: Decisions~
"Chung! I want to go visit Hamel, your home."
"What?! Eve, you do realize that you're part of the royal monarch in Altera. It's amazing enough that we both get to spend time together secretly."
Chung was shocked that Eve wanted to take a trip to Hamel, his home. Hamel and Altera have been enemies for centuries. The fact that Eve and him are best friends is a miracle. Not only that, if she visited Hamel, there'll be a possibility that she'll get executed right on the spot if someone suspects her from Altera of the royal monarch.
Eve smiled at him and snuggled against him, blowing in his sensitive ears. Chung blushed and looked away, already losing against her. Eve grinned as soon as Chung looked away. She made a victory sign while Chung began to prepare for a carriage.
As they rode the carriage, Chung gave her a cloak to cover her appearance, which Eve is fine with, as long as she can visit Hamel. It took half an hour to get to Hamel. Eve jumped out of the carriage, dragging Chung along with her. She stared at Hamel in amazement.
Water was flowing from every direction. The city was elegant and bright. Eve smiled as she held onto Chung's hand, excitement filling her. Chung sighed as he began to be Eve's guide, telling her everything he knows of Hamel. As they walked by each person, they all bowed down to Chung and began to say how he's growing up so fast. Chung blushed, dragging Eve to the palace before hesitating.
'Well... It wouldn't hurt if she enters my room for a moment... Plus, it's not like Father is in the palace. Most likely, he's too busy with the economy.'
"Welcome back, Prince."
"Prince?"
Eve looked at Chung with a confused look before Chung told the servants to go back to their jobs, leaving him alone with his guest. Chung took her hand, pulling her slightly, telling her that they're going to his room. Eve was excited, while Chung is a bit nervous, since no girl around his age has ever entered his room. The moment he opened the door to his room, Eve ran in and spun around. Chung's room wasn't messy, in fact, it was neat and organized. His Destroyer and Freiturnier was at a corner, next to a table with various equipment.
Eve looked around, and realized there was a balcony. She opened the doors to the balcony and stood outside, staring at the beautiful view of Hamel. Chung covered half of his face with hand, blushing like a tomato when staring at Eve's cheerful face.
"Chung!"
Chung looked up, and Eve was in front of him, hugging him tightly. She snuggled against his neck, before he returned her embrace. Soon, they crashed against his bed. Eve was below Chung, her arms hanging loosely from his neck, smiling.
"Chung, one day... I'm going to marry you, and live together with you forever!"
Eve's face flushed as one image flashed before her. Chung began to get his hopes up as he sees her flushed face. His grip on the Destroyer tightened as he reloaded it with more grenades.
"Chaos Cannon!"
From both sides of his Destroyer, Chung fired continuously. Eve dodged one after another, staying in midair as long as she can with Energetic Heart. Eventually, Chung stopped firing, and Eve's Energetic Heart had worn out. Eve didn't realize the five missiles coming her way as she landed.
"Dread Chase!"
"Energy Needles!
Several electric spears appeared around her, Eve raised her hands and fired lasers. The attacks clashed and an explosion was created. Without Eve's knowledge, Chung was behind Eve, and his Destroyer was slammed against Eve's body, creating a small mark on her body. Chung rushed towards her, leaping into the air before rocketing towards her, slamming into the ground, creating a huge crater and a small earthquake.
"Mark of Commander. Gigantic Impact!"
Eve covered her side with an arm, before getting hit by missiles falling from the sky. Chung charged towards Eve who had realized what he's going to do. Eve immediately jumped up, swinging Moby and Remy around her, hitting Chung. She jumped back, and fired a electric spear, piercing Chung.
"Taser Pilum!"
'Chung.. If you're going to get near me, then I'll stop you from doing so, using any means possible. Mark of Commander.. As long as you land a hit on me, then missiles will appear and target me. Then.. I won't let you land a hit. Instead, I'll do more damage to you.. I won't lose. I won't give up so easily.. I.. I won't go easy on you!'
"Giga Stream!"
Drawing a large amount of energy inside her, creating a huge force-field in front of her, Eve fired the large amount of energy towards Chung. Chung was pushed back as Eve silently sneaked up to him with Cloaking on herself. For those seconds of being invisible to the eye, Eve created a plasma dummy in front of Chung who made contact with it, exploded, dealing damage to him. With Photon Flash, Eve remained invisible to the eye once again, before dealing more damage to Chung with a certain black hole.
"Generate Black Hole!"
Chung was immediately pulled into the black hole, the damage he took were added, and he was knocked away as soon as the black hole ended its attack. Eve took no hesitation as she raised her hands, concentrating the energy from within to her fingertips, firing the stream of energy towards Chung continuously with the green aura around her, Induction.
"Particle Ray!"
"Wonder Wall!"
The damage from Inducted Particle Ray lessened as Chung regained his composure. Chung rushed forward in a flash, firing a powerful missile towards Eve. She blocked it before Chung appeared and slammed his Destroyer down. He repeatedly slammed his Destroyer down and creating blasts with the ammo. At the same time, missiles targeted Eve because of the mark on Eve created by Chung.
"Lunatic Blow!"
A sword was pierced into Eve's fragile body. Moby and Remy were knocked away from her. Her blood was splattered everywhere. Chung's eyes widened as they showed shock and worry before those feelings turned into pure rage. Chung stood up and kicked the mysterious man in the face before grabbing his Destroyer. He put on his helmet, a light blue aura surrounded him as he began to attack the man in fury.
Words weren't enough to describe Chung's rage as he pummels the man into the ground. The guy's blood was splattered onto Chung's face and the surroundings. Eve woke up and ignored the pain from the wound, ignoring the blood pouring out of the wound. The only thing she was worried about was... Chung.
"Chung. That's enough.."
Eve wrapped her arms around Chung, stopping him from doing anymore damage to the man. Chung's helmet rolled off his head, as Chung dropped his weapon, hugging Eve. He held back his tears, hiding his face against her shoulder and neck.
Eve's blood began to stain Chung's clothes as they continue to embrace each other. Eve eventually pulled back from the embrace and kissed Chung's lips softly before smiling faintly. Chung held her hand to his face, caressing it as Eve lost consciousness.
"Eve!"
Eve wondered what happened after that image. She began to feel nostalgic as her battle with Chung continued. Chung continued on trying his best to not go easy on her, however, the memory of Eve near death was holding him back. Chung shook his head, trying to erase the memory from his thoughts, as he began to attack once again, deciding to end the battle.
"Detonation!"
"Particle Ray!"
Series of powerful cannon shots from Chung against streams of particles of concentrated energy from Eve. Both attacks clashed, cancelling the damage together. Chung knocked Eve into a corner and a swamp, creating a force field at the same time, gaining more defense for temporarily, Tactical Field.
The force field dealed damage to Eve, however, she ignored the pain as she began to summon her special gear, Thousand Star along with Energetic Heart. Eve and Chung used up their remaining strength, putting everything into their last attack. Eve's large stream of concentrated energy from within VS Chung's five powerful homing missiles.
"Dread Chase!"
"Giga Stream!"
"Eve!"
Chung carried Eve in his arms, waking Moby and Remy up. Chung went on ahead to Altera while Moby and Remy tried their best to carry Chung's heavy Destroyer. Chung rushed in the forest, ignoring everything, concentrating on Eve. He ran past many villagers of Altera with Moby and Remy following. He sneaked into the Altera palace, finding her room. He slammed opened the doors and laid her gently on the mattress as he began to search for bandages and medicine.
Moby and Remy set Chung's stuff down as they carried the medical aid to Chung who was not thinking clearly. Chung hesitated before stripping Eve's clothes, trying to stop the bleeding from her wound.
The bleeding stopped, her heart beat was faint. Chung sighed in relief as he put on a new set of clothes on Eve before covering his eyes with his hair. At that moment, Eve's breathing suddenly became heavy, slowly becoming hard to breathe.
Chung noticed and frantically checked her wounds once again. And at that moment, his heart stopped for a moment as there was a sign of poison in her wounds. Chung clenched his fist with an air of despair. Suddenly, the King of Altera came inside the room with a low chuckle.
"Would you like to make a deal with me to save her life?"
