Chapter 14: Kyosuke, Demonic knight.
"What the hell? Who are you?" Alexander recognized the code number from Dollet and immediately turned to the knight.
The massive pile of metal laughed slowly in it's constantly calm, grim voice. "Come on now, you seriously can't be Beta, can you? I'll admit it, you certainly don't look like one of our brothers."
"Cause I'm not!" His right hand claw snapped into a readied position and Alexander's left hand went straight for his pistol.
"Calm down Beta. No need to get yourself killed."
"What's all this talk about Beta whatever number?" Lucca glared at the knight, fists raised for battle.
"Better yet, who?" It seemed even Cecil had missed most of the conversation.
The knight laughed again. "Beta, tell them who you really are."
"His name is Alex!" Serenity yelled in protest.
"That's what they call you now, Beta? A ridiculous name. No matter." The knight stepped into the lighter side of the room, the light gleaming off of his black armor and massive blade. "The time for words is over, come with me or I will have to kill you, Beta." The man slid into a wide stance, pointing his sword at Alexander's head. "Come at me!"
A loud crash came from Cecil's side as she dropped her black case. It opened to reveal a shiny new gunblade. It was fashioned in the style of Squall's original blade, right down to the engraving of Griever. "You'll have to get past me first, rusty." Cecil raised her blade and stepped in front of Alexander.
The knight yelled and charged right at Cecil, thrusting the blade with all his might. She simply parried the attack and countered with rising slash towards the right arm. "Rusty" could move his sword with amazing speed and simply blocked the attack. He sent a horizontal slash towards Cecil, who flew back several feet and landed on her back, dispite blocking. As she was getting up, he charged at her. He met with a wall halfway there, the rising wall catching one of his feet and flipping him over onto his back.
"Hey! Don't forget about us!" Alexander had his left hand extended towards where the wall had appeared. Behind him, Serenity had charged up a thundaga spell and launched it at the knight. Bolts of lightning streaked through the air, rushing straight into it's target. He yelled in pain as the electricity rippled throughout the armor and his body. Lucca couldn't do much physically, but she could cast a fire spell on the man's visor. He didn't react to the fire spell at all and charged at Alexander.
"Die!" He yelled as he collided with Alexander. Alexander's body wrapped around the man's shoulder as they collided. As he slowly slipped off the man's shoulder, a fist-size brick with a green light had stuck onto the back of the man's armor. Lucca and Serenity saw it immediately and backed away as fast as they could. Even Cecil had backed away. Ray was still nowhere to be seen. Alexander rose to his feet, holding his gut but grinning. The knight charged again, thrusting his blade towards Alexander. He flew forward as the brick on his back blew, landing face first on the ground.
"Well played, Beta. I hope we can fight again. Just look for Kyosuke when you finally are re-united with our family. But, survive this!" Kyosuke rose and expelled electricity from his body, threatening to blow the place sky high with them in it. Just then, the bang of a rifle told exactly where Ray had been. The bullet traveled straight at the slit used as Kyosuke's visor. As it hit, Kyosuke disappeared in a flash of blue light.
"Kyosuke..." Alexander said to himself.
"Alex! Let's finish the mission before anything else pops up." Cecil and the others were already walking out the door.
"One minute, I got to check the explosives."
"Hurry then." As the rest of the team left, Alexander ran to the main computer console. Taking a compact disk form his vest, he downloaded the entire mainframe. After the download, he took the disk, activated the timer, and ran out the door.
------------------------X----------------------------------------------X----------------------
From outside the canyon walls, the explosion was almost nonexistent other than the blast of fire coming out of the entrance. Then a large portion of the wall fell down over the former lab. It was their first mission and it was a success, at least they thought so.
"Nice job guys. We just received confirmation that our mission is an absolute success." Cecil sighed a breath of relief.
"Yup, all thanks to my impeccable aim." Ray laughed.
"You only wish!" Cecil laughed defiantly.
"At least I didn't need rescuing." Ray stuck his tongue out at Cecil.
"I could have taken him. Besides, at least I'm not a total pansy..." Cecil said as the two glared and growled at each other. They were only an inch or so from touching each other. Lucca and Alexander looked at each other and grinned in unison. They both quietly snuck up on the two quarreling and got ready to do their thing, Lucca behind Ray, Alexander behind Cecil.
"Oh yeah I'm miss leader, I'm so perfect, I-" Ray was interrupted as he and Cecil ran into each others arms, lips locked together by the force of Lucca and Alexander's push. Both Ray and Cecil went wide-eyed as they realized what happened.
"What the hell!" Cecil turned away towards Alexander, half glaring and half blushing. Ray tried to hide a ridiculous smile on his face.
"Don't you feel better now that you've kissed and made up?" Serenity laughed.
"Are you implying, US? Yeah right!" Both Cecil and Ray yelled in perfect symmetry, right down to the two turning their backs to each other and folding their arms across their chests.
"Oh, it's so cute! look at the lover's quarrel!" Lucca teased as something ringed in Cecil's pocket.
Cecil picked up her Direct Garden Link and answered the call. "Yes. Right. Okay. Yes sir. Love you too. See you later." She sighed and told the rest of the group the news. "Our next mission has arrived."

Please Read and Review. If you like it, I'll post some more, if not, well, sucks to be me. Thanks to those who have already reviewed, keep them coming!
in a lame effort to boost review amounts, if by the time I am done with the story (I'm not even close yet, 1/10th at most), I have either 100 people or more who have me on their favorite authors list, or 250+ reviews, I will create an alternate ending/ epilogue. Only 1 review per chapter per person. Flames will not count.
Thanks.
