I don't want to fight her! I understand that she wants to do this to prove or show something for Sion. But...still...I don't want to have to
"Move it!" shouted Sion. Before Crimson knew what was happening Sion had grabbed her to dodge the slash of the panther. Crimson body moved like gravity wasn't there. Her whole body felt like jelly. She seemed to have lost her will to fight. Once she regained her footing she looked up to see that everyone was fighting and dodging the attacks that the panther was laying on them. Crimson still made no effort to attack as she allowed her whole body to crumble to the floor in agony. Sion after awhile noticed that Crimson wasn't doing anything in the battle as he moved so that he was in front of her.
"So what happened to your act?"
"Act?" she replied in a daze.
"Yay, all that smart alecks remarks and tough chick act."
"I don't know..." Suddenly out of her eye she spotted the panther changing direction. It was heading straight for them! She had to do something, but that was Kaldea...Suddenly out of frustration she shape shift into her wolf form without realizing it. She ran out from beyond of Sion's protection as she lunged forward as she showed her teeth. The panther dodged it, but she didn't see Crimson come up beyond causing her to fall. Crimson stood there for a moment unsure of what happened. Did she actually do that out of that bottled up frustration that she had? How and where in the world did that come from? The panther slowly moved itself so that it was standing on all four as it stared at Sion and then to Crimson. Crimson slowly came back to her human form as she breathed out, "I'm sorry."
"What are you talking about?" questioned Sion. But before Crimson could answer the question the poor unaware confused Sion watched as the panther changed back into her human form with eyes focused on her. Crimson looked down at the ground as everyone else stared at the human in front of them. She turned slightly so that she was facing Sion as she replied, "You don't recognize me do you?" Sion was confused as he stared for a few more moments. Suddenly it hit him as he realized who she was.
"Kaldea?" She smiled as she went on, "I have forgotten how happy I was when you called my name Sion."
"Then...everything...the staged death? Dominique?"
"I asked Dauragon to stage my death for me as a favor."
"Why...we..."
"I know Sion that we were very much in love back then and I still love you, but I had to stay here."
"But why? What about Dominique and Crimson?"
Kaldea looked with her sorrowful eyes at Crimson as she answered Sion, "Crimson was created here as a bodyguard for Dominique and as the ultimate weapon for the Dauragon industries. I watched them create her from the very beginning. After finding a glitch that was only a glitch for Dauragon she was immediately set to be destroyed. The glitch that Dauragon saw in Crimson was that she had a soul. That never happened to any of Dauragon's robots before. I couldn't just stand there as they were going to dispose of her. I sneaked in when the doctors and Dauragon were out of the way. I helped her to escape, but I made her promise not to come back here unless she had a reason. I also asked her not to repeat my name to anyone. So that way I was kept safe from Dauragon's radar. As for Dominique she has a different side. Dauragon had a sister named Dominique, but he lost her in the hospital from a very bad illness. He was so lonely and disturbed by this lost that he was driven to the point of making her come back from the dead. That is when he used his position as head of the Dauragon industries to make his idea real. He spent countless hours and days locked up in that place to make her alive. I felt sorry for him. So I stayed and he arranged so that my death would be a fake. I don't expect you to understand Sion, but I wanted to tell you that I still love you and I miss those days that we had before this."
"Kaldea I..." He was lost for words. He understood what Kaldea was saying. He always supported her no matter what the cause was. Crimson interrupted, "What about this Dauragon's satellite inside of me?"
"Satellite?"
"When we fought him he mentioned that I was still linked up to the Dauragon Industries satellite. What is that about?"
"I don't know. He never mentioned that you were linked up to his industries before."
"I see. So then he must have been the only one to have set that up inside of me." Suddenly there was a soft swish as a set of doors opened behind them. There was the clinking of chains as they watched in horror as the chain went straight through Kaldea. At first it was like she was suspended in time unable to move. Everyone watched as her body crumbled to the floor in blood. Sion rushed over as he held onto Kaldea. Kaldea looked up as she managed to replied, "I still and always will love you Sion." With that her whole body went limp as Sion laid her back down on the floor.
"I don't need or expect pity from my creations." Everyone's head whipped around to see Dauragon standing at the now opened doors. The chains whipped back around his coat as they laid in rest. Sion anger was now raised to the highest point possible as he shouted, "How could you do this to her?!"
"I didn't do anything. I didn't want her pity, so she ran out of use."
"USE? SHE WAS A HUMAN BEING!"
"Half human and half animal. Nothing more." Before Sion could say something else Crimson interrupted, "The satellite. Why was that in me?"
"I wanted to make sure that if you were to go on any sprees of destruction that I found you first instead of those worthless cops that you have in your city."
"Care to see a nice little trick that I picked up on the way?" Within a split second she turned back into her wolf form. Dauragon seemed not impressed as he replied, "Wish to avenge Kaldea death and save Dominique come inside, I'll be waiting." With that he walks back into the doors with them closing after him. Sion replied, "I don't care how we do it, but we annihilate him."
"Sounds like he just got himself to be our punching bag." Chimed in Kou.
"I need to honor and avenge the master." Sion turned to Crimson as he replied, "You need to just end all of his destruction, right?" Crimson nodded as they walked through the doors to deal with Dauragon.
