Chapter 25:
Who Are You?
(Maria's POV)
We saw in horror how Koga was defeat by him.
- He have broke? What a lovely sound. My next victims are you guys, right? I'm going to vanish you totally.- say Harbinger.
- Koga… For Aria…To accomplish the wish of Aria… For Aria… You hide your sadness… but it was useless.- say Yuna and everyone close our eyes.
- If that's the case… from now own, we're going keep going!- say Soma.
- Yes!- say Haruto.
- Maria, take care of Koga for now. We're going to handle this.- say Ryuho.
- Yes.- I say looking at them and head toward Koga.
- Let's Go! Without a miss we're going to defeat this golden bastard!- say Soma.
- Yes!- say the others while they rise their cosmos.
- Fine lets begin.- say Harbinger. Everyone attack him at the same time but he dodge it very easily and start to say something to each one of them and later he hold Soma and did the same thing with Koga except that only my holding his hand.
- Soma!- scream Yuna but later it was her turn and the same thing happen with the rest of them. I heard them scream as if something inside of them was in pain. That was the special ability of him…
- Fragile. Very fragile. What a deception. The force of the bones… show the power of the heart. Do you guys think that you can pass the 12 houses? Been very weak you will never get at nothing. Your staying here. The New World that master Mars is creating right now… will be domain by those who have a strong heart. Weakens like you have nothing to do. Give up.- he said but, then the others start to stand up again. - Do you want to continue? Then I will reduce all that obstinacy into dust! Take this! Great Horn!- this time I saw them in horror of what he was doing to them. And went the smoke took off they were still trying to stand up.
- N-not yet…- say Soma.
- The battle… has just begun.- say Ryuho.
- How much effort.- say Harbinger. Went everyone was totally stand up I decided that it was time that I should take this once and for all.
- Everyone… is all right?- ask Yuna.
- Yes… but even so that was a great hit.- say Soma.
- For something is a Golden Saint.- say Haruto.
- But, there's a chance. That technique might…with his arms cross is like… the technique of Iai. The Ken of a Golden Saint… reaches the light speed. That Ken is impossible to stop it but…- say Ryuho.
- You mean that if we broke that attack, there might be a space to attack, right?- say Haruto.
- I see. And we are four!- say Soma.
- There's no other option.- say Yuna and prepare themselves, while they did that I look at Koga again and let him go.
- What were you guys talking about?- ask Harbinger but they have already move. - I see. You start to think a little for once.- and the others put themselves around him. Haruto use his technique to multiply themselves to attack him but, he have already figure it out. - Greatest Horn!- he use his best technique in them that I couldn't see them anymore only I could hear them scream.
- Guys!- I scream.
- This is for you the brightness of a Golden Saint.- say Harbinger and the others fall to the ground. He only laugh at us. - You guys! Why do you think I'm that stronger?- he ask and told us his story of life and how he became a Golden Saint. He start to insult us and before I knew it I have already stand up.
- W- We… still… haven't lose yet.- say Yuna already standing up.
- Yes. We're never going to give up! We're not going to let us be defeat!- say Soma and everyone was already stand up.
- Interesting. That's the attitude.- say Harbinger.
- Your certainty are strong.- say Haruto.
- But we… will never be defeat.- say Ryuho.
- We will protect this world! It doesn't matter how!- scream Yuna.
- Why? Why does this world have to be protected? You don't even have strength for that. You guys… why are you still standing?- ask Harbinger.
- This… world… this world… for me, for us, a person very important for us… lived in this world. And that important person… protected… and protect this world. You can't understand… but… for us is important to protect this world! Protect it at any cost… is our duty! For that… Will never give up!- say Yuna.
- Is beautiful that determination. And for that, I'm going to destroy it. Like your bodies and hearts.- say Harbinger.
- What your telling us doesn't affect us. Our hearts are…- say Yuna.
- Indestructible!- say everyone as they attack him again.
- Then I will give you this once again! Greatest Horn!- say Harbinger. - I didn't heard anything. Fuck. This guys are stubborn. Are there weak people with strong hearts? After all, it might be that breaking them will be fun. Then… first… their bodies will feel their bones break so I could heard them.
- I will not going to aloud it.- I say from behind the smoke.
- Who say that?- ask Harbinger until he spot me. - I see. You're the last one standing then. It will be fun breaking your bones too.
- Do you really think that you can break them?- I ask him and that only make him be surprise. - You like torturing people but… we're going to show you that not all of us are as weak as you think.
- Is that so… then why don't you show me. I bet that maybe your going to be much as an opponent than your friends over here.- say Harbinger.
- Your going to regret it.- I say to him while I rise my cosmos. I let it rise to the infinite and before I knew it my hole body was shinning again like last time but, I only feel the light cosmos.
- What… What is this? What is this cosmos? Could it be that she's…?- he ask but before he could finish I open my eyes. - It doesn't matter. I will defeat you no matter what. Great Horn!
- Wind Lightning!- I scream at him. Our attacks clash with each other and I saw that my attack have transform from the lightning tornado into a light lightning tornado. My pink lightning turn into a white lightning. I start to feel that if we keep up with this, the house might break apart and so I let my cosmos rise more and pass his attack. I make him push back more than I have ever expected.
- Nice one, girl. I see that I was right about you. Your much more like an opponent than your pathetic friends.- say Harbinger.
- My friends aren't pathetic! You're the one who's the pathetic right here!- I scream at him.
- I'm going to make you scream this time. Your not going to escape this time! Greatest Horn!- he said.
- Destruction Queen!- I scream at him. My breeze of lightning also turn into a light breeze of lightning like my last attack. For some reason my attacks were transforming into a light attack instead of my unusual attacks. Our attacks clash again and this time I make my cosmos rise more so I could finally defeat him.
- Who are you?- he ask me in the middle of the attack.
- I'm a Bronze Saint from the constellation of Cassiopeia. I'm… Cassiopeia Maria!- I scream at him and then I pass his attack and send him flying to the wall. There was a lot of smoke but I felt so weak in that attack, why was I feeling that weak? Normally this attack will never tires me but… maybe it was because of the sudden transformation that my attacks have become.
- I'm surprise. You're the first one to ever send me flying to the wall but… I not going to let you defeat me that easily.- say Harbinger from the other side of the smoke. Now I was the one surprise to hear him, this was a bad joke because I didn't have strength to make another attack. But then… I felt a nice, comfortable cosmos from behind me. I knew from who this cosmos was and that only make me happy to see that he was alright. - You also… standing again? What is it? Your really dead? I have to make you pieces.
- I'm going to continue. We… can't let ourselves fall here. Until now… many people… in front of our eyes… have already gone. There have been a lot… of hope… and promises. But… we keep moving forward. I… we… what ever happens… we're going to keep moving forward.
- Koga…- say Soma almost in a whisper.
- Ko…ga…- say Ryuho.
- Koga.- I say before I fall to the ground but I felt some arms holding me before I could land on the ground. And they lay me down very carefully and with my eyes close I felt his hand touching my cheek.
- Thank you… Maria.- say Koga before he went walking toward him. - Forward. We're continuing!- and in that moment I felt Koga's cosmos burn more than before, I didn't need to open my eyes I could see it with my eyes close.
- Is this…?- ask Harbinger.
- Koga…- say Yuna. Then Harbinger start to laugh.
- That's the attitude. I'm going to pulverize you totally!- say Harbinger.
- Then lets go!- say Koga and I open my eyes to see him attacking Harbinger. He was putting a great fight right now. - Pegasus Senko Ken!
- What is it? Is this all?- ask Harbinger while he push Koga back. - Keep fighting.- in that moment I felt the others already sitting and I saw Harbinger turning toward us but, Koga came in front of us.
- I'm not going to aloud you!- say Koga.
- Here I come! Show me your truth courage! I will destroy you!- scream Harbinger while he let his attack toward us.
- Pegasus Ryusei Ken!- say Koga. - I will not lose!- Koga was blocking his way but in some point I felt that this attack was different from others and before we knew it a light surround us and… everything turn to darkness.
