Wave Battle: Lynx V2
In the temple, Issac had been watching both fights, and he saw Zero on her way to the temple. He wasn't about to let anyone stop him, but he wasn't ready for her yet.
"So, even Delphinus Ice lost to the devil named Zero," Issac said, "We need to stall her a little longer. High Max, I want you to-"
"No!" Kitty said stepping forward with a serious expression, "Zero's mine this time!"
Zero Transed Out in front of the forest, turning back into Luna. Luna and Xerox walked forward together, looking around.
"Sheesh, and I thought fighting in the Four Guardians' Fortress was scary," Xerox said, "This is straight out of a ghost story."
"This is a pretty good place to hide a temple though," Luna said, "It's so dense that not even a plane could catch sight if it. We only saw it because of the lights coming off of it."
"True," Xerox said. They figured that if they kept going forward eventually they would run into the temple. Unfortunately right in front of the temple they saw something else they didn't want to see right away.
"Luna!" Kitty called out from a distance. Luna looked and saw Kitty standing in front of the temple, she looked really serious.
"Kitty..." Luna couldn't say anything else. Looking at the girl who just two days ago was her best friend. Eventually she asked the question she wanted to ask ever since she found out that Kitty was with Neo Arcadia, "You're helping Issac, why? Why give him this technology, the technology of your people? You're from Mu, just like Solo, right?"
Kitty looked down after hearing that, "You figured that out?"
"It wasn't hard. You don't have a Wizard, but you can Wave Change by will alone. Also the symbol that appears when you Wave Change is the same as the symbol that Solo uses to Wave Change into Rogue. Why would you help Issac destroy an entire planet?"
"Because Issac saved me!" Kitty said, shocking Luna and Xerox.
"He saved you? How's that?" Xerox asked. Kitty looked down in sadness.
"My family was supposed to defend his temple. For generations we secretly lived among the people of the new generation and stayed close to this temple. The people of the new generation were afraid of my family though, so when they went into town one day they were attack and... and..." Kitty started crying, and that told Luna what had happened.
"Kitty... I'm sorry..." Luna said, but Kitty shook it off and continued.
"One day I decided to explore the city on my own. I was only eleven at the time, and I didn't know anyone. I tried to use my powers to help people, but instead I was called a monster, was beaten, chased, even raped on one occasion," hearing that really made Luna upset, she knew Solo had it bad but Kitty had it way worse, "All I wanted was somebody, anybody who would look at me and not see a monster. I couldn't bring myself to go back to the temple, and I wasn't wanted anywhere in the city, but then I met Issac. He took care of me, even after he found out what I could do. So when Planet FM attacked recently, I told Issac about the temple my family was guarding, and he decided to use it to destroy Planet FM. To him I'm useful, I'm needed. He doesn't reat me like how he treats Ryan, Ariel, or High Max, but it's something I can't live without," she held herself in fear, "I'm afraid to live without him!"
"But Kitty, you see it, he doesn't really care about you. You're just his puppet."
"That doesn't matter anymore," Kitty looked up at Luna, "The one other person I allowed myself to care about turned out to be my sworn enemy! If all I can hope for in life it to be a puppet then so be it!" Kitty held her hand in front of her and the Mu symbol appeared on the palm of her hand, "Get ready Zero! I'm not holding back anymore! I have nothing left to loose, so I give my all to Issac!"
"Kitty..." Luna said looking down, she then looked up at Kitty and put on the Visualizer.
"Transcode 110! Lynx!"
"Transcode 666! Zero"
Both girls Wave Changed, and got in fighting stances. For a few seconds they didn't move, until Zero finally shouted...
"Wave Battle! Action!"
Zero and Lynx rushed to each other and began fighting more ferociously than they had ever fought. Lynx got down on one hand and did a fancy spin kick knocking Zero into a tree. Lynx then slashed at the tree knocking it down on top of Zero.
There was a red flash from the tree, and it broke to pieces as Zero jumped straight up in the air. In the air she activated a Gatling Gun Battle Card and fired at Lynx, who jumped away onto a tree. When Zero landed she activated a Mega Cannon Battle Card and fired at Lynx continuously, who jumped from tree to tree away from the shots. She then charged at Zero and knocked her to the ground. For a few seconds they rolled on the ground fighting, and then kicked each other away.
To Zero this Wave Battle felt different than her other Wave Battles. This time there was no fun in it, no satisfaction, just pain. Even still, Lynx wasn't stopping.
Lynx let out her claws at the same time Zero activated two Long Swords. The two of them began fighting close quarter. Zero actually got a slash in and knocked Lynx back, who flipped to her feet. Zero then activated a Heavy Ax Battle Card and ran up to Lynx, who was too fast for the Heavy Ax. Once it ran out Lynx began slashing at Zero at high speed. Zero was feeling horribly overwhelmed, and not just because Lynx was fast.
Zero jumped on a tree and jumped off it in order to tackle Lynx to the ground. Lynx flipped to her feet again and for a second stood there glaring at Zero. She then burst into tears, shocking Zero a bit.
"What?" Zero asked. Lynx then ran up to Zero again and continued to slash at her wildly, until Zero kicked her to the ground. Unfortunately Lynx got back up and continued to slash at Zero, still crying. Why was she so sad? Why was she still fighting? She didn't want to. Zero activated another Mega Cannon and fired Lynx away from her. This time, Lynx didn't get right up. She stayed on the ground crying. Zero deactivated her Z-Saber and walked forward a bit.
"Why are you doing this? We're enemies, right? So why are you crying?" Zero asked.
"It's not fair!" Lynx cried, "Everything, everyone I cared about gets taken away from me in one way or another!" Lynx looked up at Zero, "Even you!" when she said that Zero's eyes were wide, "When I met you I felt like I had someone I could trust, someone who wouldn't leave me!" she got on her knees and sobbed, her face buried in her hands, "I wanted to believe I had a real friend, and that I wasn't alone!"
Hearing this made Zero feel horrible. She understood how Lynx felt, and she knew it was hard for her. She also knew that what they had was real.
"Kitty..." Zero said closing her eyes looking down, "We are friends."
Kitty stopped and looked at Zero in shock, "Wh, what?"
(Play Song: Green Grass Gradation)
"I never saw you as my enemy. I heard loud and clear what you and High Max were talking about, but I didn't care. I'm not with the Satella Police, so I'm not in this to solely take out Neo Arcadia. I just want to protect the people I care about. You never did take a look at your Hunter, did you? I actually responded to your request to break our Brother Band."
Lynx slowly took out her Hunter VG and read the response, shocked by the message:
Your request to break your Brother Band with Luna Platz has been denied.
Seeing that Lynx looked up at Zero, not sure what to say.
"I came here for two main reasons. One was to stop Issac," Zero smiled warmly, "The other was to save my best friend, Kitty Munroe."
"Oh, Luna!" Lynx said burying her face in her hands again. Zero ran past Lynx and stopped next to her.
"When Issac's been stopped, I'd like it if you continued to stay with me and my family," Zero said before running into the temple. Lynx dropped her hands and sat there in a bit of a daze.
"Luna..." Lynx said, rubbing her finger on the red collar that Wave Changed with her. The red collar that her best friend gave her.
