Sonata to Memento Mori
Chapter 12: Final Stand at Arzenal
Arzenal Hangar
"So, these are all the survivors."
Jill let out a breath as she looked over the group of the pilots who had survived the DRAGON attack, still a rather sizable group, but since the group was only 12 strong, while Salia was current detained, and Vivian was current not seen, likely late, Jill had little choice in how to reorder things.
"Who has command experience?" Jill asked, Blaze and Hilda both raising a hand, "We're regrouping and reassigning all Para-mail groups. Hilda and Blaze will be interim captains. Ersha and Vivian will be Hilda's lieutenants, Naomi and Ange will be Blaze's."
"Huuh?! Hilda's a deserter!" Rosalie snapped, Blaze rolling his eyes as he and Hilda glanced at each other, "You're making a deserter a captain?!"
"Why not Salia?" Chris asked, Hilda clicking her tongue with a scoff, Blaze sighing.
"She's in detention for violating orders." Jill bluntly stated.
"If you have a problem with me, why don't you do it?" Hilda glanced at Rosalie as she said that, the blonde immediately changing her tune.
"I-It's the commander's orders!" Rosalie spat out, her eyes a bit wider, but she tried to play it off either way, "I have no choice, so I'll deal with it. Right, Chris?"
Blaze just let out a small chuckle as Chris immediately nodded her agreement, though his look changed as he scanned over the group.
"Did Vivian sleep in or something?" Blaze just shook his head at the thought and turned back to the front.
"Para-mail troops are to organize themselves and then stand on alert." Jill commanded, every pilot present saluting.
"Yes ma'am!" All the pilot's responded, Jill returning the salute and turning away, the pilot's turning to leave.
"Naomi, can you and Ange get the others ordered up? I'm gonna go and find Vivian." Blaze stopped Naomi as they left, Naomi nodding.
"Sure." Naomi nodding, "Ehh? What is Ange doing?"
Blaze turned around and saw that Ange had stayed behind and was talking to Jill, though he just shook his head.
"Don't worry about it, just get everyone organized." Blaze muttered, already dashing off as Naomi nodded, and once he was moving through the halls, and as he neared Salia and Vivian's room, Blaze's eyes widened to see that the front wall was busted wide open, and he peered in past the rubble and the fallen door at the mess that was the room, which, while mostly untouched, had various items strewn all over it.
Blaze let out a breath as he looked around, and he looked down when he felt glass crushing under his boot, and he glanced down to see a broken jar with the same lollipops Vivian always had strewn on the ground, Blaze kneeling down and picking one of them up, then glancing at the fallen hammock, and just as he stepped out of the room to start looking around, he heard screaming coming down the hallway and then a roar, at which Blaze's eyes widened, the alarm than sounding.
"All units, type on battle formation! It's a DRAGON!"
"Shit!" Blaze grimaced, running off towards the source of the noise, stopping when he saw claw marks on the ground, his eyes following them to a trail, and as he followed the marks, he came screeching to a halt when the trail stopped just outside his door, and standing there scratching at the door was a lone Schooner, this one with an injured tail.
Though as the DRAGON turned to Blaze, he didn't draw his weapon, and the DRAGON even seemed elated, stepping over to Blaze, it's tail moving back and forth as it tried to almost speak, and Blaze shushed the beast, putting a hand on it's snout.
"Sh sh sh… Vivian, stay quiet!" Blaze hushed, the DRAGON falling silent, and Blaze looked behind him to be safe, "I'd almost let it slip my mind… Vivian is a DRAGON, and without those suckers, she won't retain her human form for long… this is bad, everyone's going to be gearing up for a fight…"
Blaze then looked back to Vivian, the eyes of the girl's true form looking up at him, and he kept a finger at his lips.
"Vivian, I know you're probably confused right now, but please stay quiet and follow me, we need to get you to Maggie, she can fix this. Come on!" Blaze got a nod from Vivian, drawing his pistol as he started moving, Vivian following after him at a brisk pace.
After a short while, the two eventually reached the kitchen, Blaze skipping the stairs and rolling as he hit the ground, aiming his pistol around as he looked over.
"Alright, it's clear… Vivian…" Blaze turned around, and he sighed when he heard crashing, Vivian jumping into the kitchen, "Vivian! We don't have time for food!"
Vivian then turned to Blaze and tilted her head as she tried to lift a pot up, the smell of curry wafting from it even as Vivian's claws nearly crushed the metal, Blaze hopping over the counter and giving Vivian a stern look, the DRAGON looking down as she set down the pot, letting out a sigh.
"You can eat after Maggie fixes this, for now…" Blaze then ducked when a bullet hit the concrete, looking up and grimacing to see Ershe and Salia coming in, both aiming their rifles at Vivian.
"There it is!" Salia shouted.
"Blaze get back!" Ersha shouted, and Vivian reeled back.
"Salia, Ershe put the guns down, this is different!" Blaze snapped, aiming his own gun at the two as he hopped out.
"What?! Blaze it's a DRAGON, why are you defending it?!" Salia snapped, Vivian behind Blaze and kneeling, trying to keep away from the gun's aimed at her.
"I would explain if I could, trust me, I don't want to keep secrets, but this one I have to! So please, just put the guns down, or I will shoot to disarm." Blaze snapped, and while Ersha actually started to put the gun down, Salia's gaze merely steeled and she pulled the trigger, Blaze yelping as he ducked while Vivian shot off as Salia kept trying to shoot, Blaze rushing up and diverting the gun, "What the hell Salia?!"
"I could be asking you the same thing Blaze! What the hell were you doing near the DRAGON?! You had the perfect chance to kill it!" Salia snapped.
"There's a damn good reason I didn't! Geez, now I have to find her again!" Blaze let out a growl as he shot off, Salia simply keeping her gaze hardened as Blaze ran after Vivian, while Ersha looked outright confused.
"Come on Ersha, we're following him!" Salia snapped, stepping off after Blaze, Ersha merely nodding as she followed, while ahead, Blaze was already heading for the topside of the island, though as he burst through the door, he stopped, panting a bit as he saw Vivian landing in front of Ange, the blonde girl singing her song, Vivian humming along to it as she landed, and as Salia took aim with her rifle, Jill stepped in and made the girl lower the gun, Blaze moving ahead and stopping by Ange, the girl lifting a hand to Vivian's snout, the form of the DRAGON then turning into smoke, the silhouette of the Vivian they knew appearing.
"Quiz time. What's a DRAGON, even though it's human?" Vivian asked, and Ange's eyes widened as the smoke cleared to reveal Vivian, everyone else but Blaze and Jill gasping at the sight, "Oh, wait… A human, even though it's a DRAGON? Huh? Huh? I don't get it…"
"Hehe… it's alright. Welcome back." Blaze nodded, putting a hand on Vivian's head as the younger girl started crying, a warm smile on his face as he ruffled her hair, Vivian stepping forward and burying her face in his chest.
"I got it. It's Vivian." Ange replied to the question, "Welcome back, Vivian."
Blaze simply kept the same look on as he nodded at Ange, though he let Vivian go when Maggie stepped forward and shot a sedative into Vivian's arm, the girl falling back into Maggie's arms, everyone else rushing over, Blaze turning to them all.
"Hey, what's going on?" Rosalie gasped, everyone there bearing nothing short of shock on their faces.
"I thought I just saw Vivian come out of that DRAGON…" Chris murmured in disbelief.
"Blaze, what the hell is going on?! You're way to calm about this!" Hilda snapped, Blaze's hand merely balling into a fist as Hilda and Naomi stepped over to him.
"Blaze, why did…. Why did that just happen?!" Naomi asked out of a loss for words.
"I want to explain, but, I can't…" Blaze grimaced, then turning when he heard the sound of an engine, the bulldozer that Jasmine was using to push the bodies of the DRAGONs they'd killed in the attack into a large pit, "This is the truth I have to bear… DRAGONs are humans… this entire time, we've been killing other human beings…"
And then Ange stepped off the edge and started moving down the hill, Blaze growling and following after Ange as she rushed to the edge of the pit, Jasmine already dousing the bodies, Vulcan turning and barking, drawing Jasmine's attention.
"Stay away!" Jasmine shouted, tossing the lighter in her hands into the pit, flames blazing to life and climbing above the edge of the dirt, Ange and Blaze stopping at the inferno, and Ange's eyes began to widen in horror at what she saw burning, for it wasn't the bodies of DRAGONs… what was burning, were human bodies, the scent of burning flesh beginning to hit the air as everyone began to rush over, and as horror filled their expressions, Blaze could only clench his fist, keeping his back to them as the inferno shadowed him over amid the bright daylight.
"This is the sick truth of the world…" Blaze muttered, his hands tightly balled to the point he'd likely have started bleeding at his hands if not for his gloves, "We were never killing real monsters… never have…"
"You know how the story goes." Jill spoke up, Ange turning to the woman, everyone but Blaze facing her as well, "The monster was human all long."
"Blaze…" Naomi murmured, looking to Blaze as he merely grimaced at the sight before him, and Naomi's eyes widened when she saw tears at the brims of his eyes as well.
"Memento mori…" Blaze muttered, rubbing off his eyes, "It's more than just a reminder of death and our mortality… it's also how I say I've accepted the truth, this sick, twisted truth of the world we live in… I've killed more DRAGONs, no, humans, than anyone else on this island… a demon who slaughters his own kind like a butcher… there's no justification for what I've done, even if I did it to defend those I love… I'm a murderer, plain and simple… but, I'm also ready to pay the price for that… so I'll say it again… Memento Mori… remember death, and be prepared for it." Blaze then turned to the girls as they faced him, and it really was like he was a demon as he had his back to those flames, "I've sinned, all of us, have committed this sin… I've decided to accept and bear the burden of it, and I'll pay the price of my life when the time comes…"
As Blaze spoke, Ange began thinking back on everything she'd down, every last DRAGON she'd shot down and killed without mercy, without even knowing that she'd been killing humans the entire time, and the thought sickened Ange, sickened her to the point that she couldn't resist the urge to vomit, Momoka putting a hand on her back, and when Ange looked back at the inferno, her expression was of shocked, horrified realization.
"I was killing humans?" Ange gasped, and then she rushed forward, aiming straight to punch Blaze, but he caught the fist, "You knew! You knew this entire time, what was really going on… you knew! And you're standing there without a care! You're a monster!"
"You're no different than me Ange." Blaze muttered, "You and I have killed, we have blood on our hands… we're soldiers, we're at war, that's the burden we have to bear! If you're not willing to bear the burden of knowing you've taken lives and have their blood on your hands, then what the fuck are you doing piloting the Villkiss?"
Ange stepped back as Blaze's words managed to hit home, and her eyes widened to see that he was grimacing himself, tears marring his attempt to look stoic as he turned around, and Jill let out a chuckle.
"I thought you liked your life?" Jill hummed, Ange turning to the woman, "Killing DRAGONs and making money."
"Go to hell bitch!" Ange snapped, "I won't use the Villkiss anymore! I won't kill DRAGONs anymore! To hell with Libertus!"
"Fine with me, if you want to live and die as God's pet." Jill scoffed, leaving with that, and Blaze let out a breath.
"So, you really can't bear that burden, can you?" Blaze muttered, wiping off his eyes and walking off, "Think of me whatever you want to, all of you… I did what I had to… I don't care if you think I'm some kind of monster…"
"Blaze, wait!" Naomi stepped forward and grabbed Blaze's arm, the young man stopping, "Don't say that! You're not a monster, even if… even if…"
"Even if I'm a murderer who feels little remorse for the lives he's taken?" Blaze murmured, Naomi gasping. "I'm sorry Naomi… I wanted to tell you the truth, to try and spare you, all of you, from finding out about this… I didn't want any of you to be hurt by this, so I resolved to keep it to myself after I learned the truth, to bear the burden of knowing all of us have murdered our own kind… I'm a soldier… It's what I'm supposed to do after all… kill my enemies, whether they be beasts or my own kind…"
"Blaze, no, that's not… we'd never think of you like that!" Naomi objected, her grip on Blaze's arm tightening.
"Of course we wouldn't you… you had to have had a good reason for keeping it from us, right?" Ersha asked, and Blaze merely gave a sad smile.
"Yeah, I did… but it doesn't change the truth… right, Hilda?" Blaze spoke up, Hilda blinking, "You know how I am… you know I'd go all out and destroy the world that hates people like us… so really that'd be no better than how I am now."
Hilda merely steeled her gaze a bit, and Ange herself looked shocked at what he said, but then, everyone stopped when they heard a chiming, a mana screen appearing above them.
"This is the International Rescue Fleet of the Norma Administration Board. Normas, thank you for your good work fighting the DRAGONs. We will hereby begin your rescue. We have plenty of water, clothing, and warm food. Please abandon your weapons and prepare for evacuation."
"It's a lie." Blaze spoke up as the broadcast continued, all of the girls looking at him as he turned, "The humans aren't here to save us, they're here to get rid of us."
"Ehh?! How would you know that?!" Rosalie snapped.
"He knew the truth about the DRAGONs, you're really gonna question him now?" Hilda spat, "If they really are here to kill us, then we just have to kill them first."
"Heh, you're being pretty on the uptake here." Blaze mused, pulling out his pendant, "All those drills we had, remember those?"
As Blaze said that, they could then hear the sounds of the island defenses beginning to activate, and Blaze let out a breath.
"If you feel like continuing to fight, then mount up. We're not gonna be fighting DRAGONs, we're fighting the bastards who put us on this island, the ones who are responsible for us being here to kill the DRAGONs, other humans, in the first place. I'm going to fight, and I'll kill every last one of them if I have to… I'm not going to let anyone else die as long as I'm still breathing."
Blaze's point was then made when explosions began filling the air as the sounds of gunfire followed them, everyone rushing back and inside, and once everyone was in, Blaze started heading to the hangar as everyone split off, though he was stopped by Naomi again.
"Blaze, where are you going?" Naomi asked, Blaze's hand tightening.
"I said I'm going to fight, so that's what I'm gonna do. I'm going to use Barbatos to defend this place and fight back. I'll sink that entire damn fleet singlehandedly if I have to." Blaze stated, Naomi's eyes widening, but, nothing more could be said before they heard Jill's voice.
"Everyone, they're humans." Jill simply stated, "They have no intention of helping us Norma. They intend to gather us up like possessions and make us fight elsewhere. Those of you who want that, surrender. But, if you want to resist, follow me. Arzenal command hereby rejects human administration. We will now begin our rebellion… Operation Libertus. We've actually been prepared for a situation like this for a long time… the invasion drills were for a reason. So, if you want to resist, start by fighting back right now. Grab a gun, and stand up and fight, and then, if you choose to follow, gather at the lowest level of Arzenal. They made us fight for them, to work as their slaves and kill… so let's show them the fruits of their flavor and make them choke on them. So I'll say this: Norma, give these humans hell."
"So, what'll you do?" Blaze looked at Naomi as Jill finished talking, the girl taking a moment to think.
"I'll fight… but not because Jill said to fight back, because I want to… I want to fight against them with you, to stay by your side… all of us are guilty of killing the DRAGONs, of killing humans… so none of us have a right to hold anything against you now that we know, and everyone else knows it Blaze… so I'll fight with you, so that we can keep everyone safe and make sure nobody else has to die." Naomi stated, and Blaze couldn't help but crack a small grin.
"Thank you… and, it looks like you're not the only one who's going to fight." Blaze hummed, and Naomi looked around, her eyes widening to see the others present grabbing guns in hidden compartments, being handed them or shifting around, "We've all been preparing for something like this whether we know it or not… hehehe, and besides, I've already decided I'll tear down the world of those bastards the first I get… this is just the first step."
"The second wave of enemies is approaching. Use the para-mails to engage them." Jill ordered, and Blaze let out a chuckle.
"That was the plan. So, you coming or what?" Blaze hummed, Naomi nodding as he started to move.
"Hey! Not gonna wait for us?!"
Blaze turned and stopped as he started heading up the stairs, and he smirked a bit to see Hilda, Ersha, Chris, and Rosalie approaching.
"What, can't I go and get first dibs?" Blaze mused, Hilda scoffing.
"Please, like I'd let you get a head start against these bastards. You asked me if I'd help you tear down the human's world, so don't think I'd like you get ahead of me, or ditch me just as it's starting!" Hilda stated, pointing a finger at Blaze, the young man chuckling.
"Since when were they buddy buddy?" Chris murmured.
"Don't know." Rosalie murmured.
"Even if I'm a bastard who's killed even hundreds of humans?" Blaze asked, Hilda stepping up to him and getting right in his face.
"Yes, even then Blaze, so can it! We've all killed DRAGONs, so we're all guilty, doesn't matter." Hilda stated, Ersha nodding.
"We have to fight to protect what's dear to us… even if it means killing other humans." Ersha stated, and Blaze let out a breath.
"Right… alright then, let's go! We need to get up in the air as soon as we can!" Blaze stated, the girls nodding, all of them rushing off to gear up, making it to the hangar just as the Villkiss was being pulled off to the emergency elevator.
"Mei, are we ready for take-off?" Hilda spoke up as the group approached the mechanic.
"Eh? Yeah, ready when you are!" Mei nodded.
"I am detecting a multitude of heat signatures approaching. I would suggest launching as soon as possible."
Blaze pulled out his pendant when Lumiere spoke, everyone looking at the item.
"Signatures? Like what kind?" Blaze asked.
"Smaller units of unknown origin. I advise caution as you take off." Lumiere stated, everyone looking at Blaze.
"Still weirded out by you, but I guess an AI can't lie." Blaze murmured, slipping the pendant back down, and the current gaggle looked over when the other reformed team arrived and saluted.
"Us too. I, Tanya, and my group are ready to sortie, Captain Hilda, Captain Blaze." The pilot state, Blaze pumping a fist.
"Alright." Blaze snickered, Hilda nodding along with it, the other five girls mounting up, Blaze heading for the Barbatos and hopping in as the other group took off. "Alright, let's go and wreck some shit."
"Warning. Signatures detected right above Arzenal." Lumiere stated, Blaze looking up as he put his visor on, blinking to see a ludicrous number of floating disks, which opened right and to reveal blades that began to whirl around and then crash into the ground, explosions following and rubble then landing on the runway.
"The runway! We can't launch now!" Naomi yelped.
"Damn… well, not like I'm one to back down easily, Barbatos can blast through that stuff. Hilda, I'm going to go and support Tanya and clear out all of this!" Blaze stated, Hilda blinking.
"Ehhh?! How do you expect to launch when the runway is covered in rubble?!" Hilda snapped.
"I have a few reckless, probably lethal ideas." Blaze stated, cracking his knuckles.
"That's not a proper explanation you dumbass!" Hilda snapped in response, the Barbatos already starting to hover, "Shit he's actually gonna do it… everyone get back!"
Hilda and the others dove down as Blaze opened fire at the rubble from near point blank range with missiles, dust flying everyone as explosions rang out, just enough space clear for Blaze to launch off.
"Wow that actually worked…" Blaze hummed.
"You did that without expecting it to work?!" Hilda snapped.
"Yeah, I kinda did. Hehehe, alright then, let's…" Blaze was about to launch, but he stopped when the PA went off.
"Arzenal has been infiltrated! Repeat, Arzenal has been infiltrated, enemies are inside Arzenal!"
"God dammit…" Blaze growled, then he growled when he saw human soldiers starting to get on the runway, "Dumbass sons of bitches!"
Blaze then fired his rifle in retaliation, raking it across the groups of soldiers that were coming at them, then launching once the full runway was clear, veering out and then opening fire on the disc machines that were attacking Tanya's squad, shooting by the four para-mails that where holding them off.
"Sorry for being late!" Blaze snapped, veering around to the four.
"Captain, they took Ilma!" Tanya shouted, Blaze blinking.
"Took her?! These damn things are taking Para-mails?!" Blaze growled, watching the swarm fly by as he switched to assault mode, "Hey, Lumiere, any ideas?"
"The swarm moves quickly, and a scan shows they're equipped to capture para-mail units and take them to the fleet below us. Advise using rapid fire and missiles to quickly eliminate them." Lumiere suggested, and Blaze started to take aim, though as he did, the discs began flying off, to his confusion along with the other pilots.
"What the hell? Where are those things going?" Blaze muttered, and then his eyes widened when, coming after the discs machines were what looked like para-mails, all a uniform steel grey with glowing lines indicating control by Mana streaking towards them… though Blaze simply smirked, "Those bastards went and made their own para-mails huh? The four of you, get ready for something big, this isn't gonna be like a simulated duel!"
"Yes sir!"
Blaze nodded as the girls responded, bursting ahead as the human para-mails began to open fire, swooping past the bullets in flight mode and switching as he drew close, a quick draw of the sword being used to sever one clean in half, an explosion following, and as he began shooting more, he noticed more gunfire coming along, Naomi, Hilda, and Rosalie's units streaking up, though he noticed the absence of Chris and Ersha.
"Hilda, where are Chris and Ersha?" Blaze asked, Hilda letting out a grimance as she stopped by the Barbatos.
"Ersha went off to do something and Chris… dammit… Chris is gone… we saw her get shot as we were taking off." Hilda grimaced, and Blaze growled as his hands tightened on the controls.
"Those bastards are gonna pay… they decided to bring things to this party, so we're gonna hand them their asses for it! Anyone who's died during this attack… I'll pay back everything they felt! You bastards are gonna die!" Blaze yelled and streaked forward with the others, cutting through and slashing apart the glowing para-mails at a much faster rate than the others, even as he dove back and eventually landed on the island, the Barbatos skidding to a hard halt as Blaze blocked a strike from a mace one of the human attackers was using.
"Blaze I'm here!" Naomi then dove in and knocked aside the enemy Blaze was dealing with, Blaze nodding as he looked at the smoking machine.
"Thanks… Naomi, did anyone else sortie earlier?" Blaze asked, panting a bit after the intense fighting.
"Ange launched and Salia gave chase, but we lost track of them… they're probably fighting at a different area. Then we can focus on these bastards." Blaze then directed his machine to grab the mace, flicking it up and looking closely at the large, bladed head of the weapon and how there was a solid point at the front, and between the blades, what looked like some kind of chamber was there, similar to a revolvers of all weapons.
"A scan shows that this weapon has a function that allows it to work as a pile bunker weapon along with the mace. This should be useful in taking down your enemies." Lumiere stated, Blaze nodding.
"Good, because the party has just about arrived." Blaze stated, looking around as six of the glowing par-mails landed around him and Naomi. "They brought enough to try and swarm us… sucks for these guys, they barely know how to pilot those things, don't they?"
"That's what it looked like. We were tearing through them way to easily up there… I bet they thought this would be easy." Naomi grumbled, Blaze nodding and readying the mace with a quick swing.
"This is the moment of truth, the moment to live, the moment to fight… this is war! Let's show them that they fucked with the wrong people!" Blaze shot forward and slammed the mace down on the nearest enemy as they took aim, Naomi blasting a few with quick shots as she burst off of the ground to dodge their fire, Blaze skating away and smashing another one to draw their attention to him, though Naomi shot at them with a rain of missiles, the fight one sided between the two vastly more experienced pilots as they tore through the enemies even as more landed, though as the ground became strewn with wrecked para-mail shells and the dirt soaked with blood and oil, suddenly, the attackers stopped and began to retreat, even if they were just replaced by the circular drones again.
"Why did the para-mails retreat?! Were they called off or something?!" Naomi yelped, Blaze stepping in and ripping through a swathe of the discs.
"If so, then that benefits us, especially if those bastards are going to retreat…" Blaze murmured, and he blinked when Lumiere started blaring an alert.
"WARNING. WARNING. Detection of Space Time Convergence Cannon confirmed. WARNING. WARNING."
"What?! Is Ange firing that thing again?" Blaze muttered, raising up, and his eyes widened as his teeth then ground into one another when he saw the real source of it, a black and purple para-mail much different than any others, "Embryo…."
Blaze then shut his eyes as the blast was fired and filled the air with light, the Barbatos lowering and landing, Blaze growling as he was able to open his eyes, the warning was still blaring strong moments later.
"WARNING. WARNING."
"Will you shut up?!" Blaze snapped, and then he blinked when the main console started glowing, "The hell?!"
"Detection of space warp found… locking onto coordinates… initiating jump." Lumiere spoke, Blaze blinking.
"Huh?" Blaze murmured.
"Blaze, what's going on? The Barbatos is glowing!" Naomi shouted Blaze blinking at that… and then he was gone as the Barbatos seemingly just winked out of existence, "BLAZE?!"
Unknown Location
When Blaze finally felt himself returning to consciousness, he could only see flickering in the cockpit as the screens of the inside flickered between showing what was outside and what wasn't, but such short glimpses that Blaze couldn't see where he was as his head cleared, though he felt a splitting headache course through as he undid the belts of the pilot's seat, slamming the emergency release button on the cockpit, allowing it to open, Blaze stumbling up, a hand on the edge of the opened machine as he looked around, his vision adjusting as light hit his eyes.
"Where the hell… what… happened?" Blaze murmured, rubbing his eyes to clear them out, and then he froze when he saw green, looking around to see that he was in a city, one overgrown by flora and nothing but a shell, like it had been left to be overtaken by nature itself, "What the… WHERE THE HELL AM I?!"
A/N
And here a bunch of stuff goes down very quickly…
Blaze: What the hell is up with this?!
Ange: Oh great I'm stuck with him too…
Blaze: Don't start something now Ange!
Both of you cut it out!
