Chapter 27: The Assault
Noct: Are you watching the sky?
Reza : A little
Noct: You know earlier, I'm proud of you and dad would have been too.
Reza: Thanks Noct
Noct: I want to give you something
Reza saw the motorized blade in his brother's hands...
Reza: Your motorized blade, but...
Noct: I don't need it anymore, and then some of me will be with you, take it.
Reza took the sword that vanished into the body
Reza: Thank you, Noct. I deserve that.
Noct: I don't doubt it, I never doubted you.
Reza: And now my arsenal is complete. Sigh.
Noct: What?
Reza : This sky no stars shining, as if a black mantle was covering us that awakens the monsters.
Reza took Noct's hand in his.
Reza: And yet so quiet...and for the first time I'm glad I was born.
At that moment Noct remembered a memory and the words his father had once said to him...
Regis: One day you'll see, it won't be my hand she takes but yours.
In memory of his words Noct tightened his hand tighter with Reza's hand.
Noct: When all is finished, let's have a nice wedding for Prompto and Waldo.
Reza: ...
Clarissa: Your brother will have to sacrifice himself... You can perform the rite, it's your choice.
Reza: Okay.
* Later *
Reza: Well, I think it's time to split up.
Waldo: Please be careful, honey.
Prompto: You, too, sugar.
Gladio: Oh stop your nonsense you're making me nauseous.
Prompto: Don't mind, women have always rejected his advances.
Gladio: You come here.
Prompto: Oh, careful, quick, I gotta run. See you later.
Waldo: See you later
Noct : Take care of yourself Reza
Reza: Don't worry about me, you take care of the party on land, we'll cover you from the sky.
Noct: We're counting on you
Erik: Reza, you forgot something.
Reza: My sunglasses! You kept them all this time.
Erik: Obviously.
Reza took the glasses and put them on his face...
Waldo: You're always so classy.
Reza: Yeah, I know, and by the way, Noct.
Noct: ?
Reza: I want you to know that my ring is prettier than yours.
Noct watched Reza and his buddies leave and laughed at his comment.
Gladio : No need to say, those three definitely have my respect.
Noct: Yeah.
You've grown strong, Reza.
The three accomplices on their side went outside where their para mails were.
Erik: You're all set to burn.
Let's go get 'em all.
Reza: She's really into it.
Waldo: GO GO guys!
The three para mails flew into the sky of Insmonia ready to shoot down all the monsters on their way.
Waldo: Surprise, motherfucker!
Waldo started shooting, followed by the others, and that was the beginning of the assault, the three of them flying over the city shooting at everyone in sight.
Erik: Damn, the more we kill, the more more is coming.
Reza: You have to make your way to the citadel, you can't stop.
Waldo: Got it.
At the same time a daemon appeared in the sky
Erik: Oh that's big, and he doesn't seem to want to let us pass.
Reza: It doesn't matter how big the monster is. SHOUT!
The three shot the daemon in front of them screaming in frustration.
Reza: Damn it
Waldo: You'll have to find something else.
Erik: Reza, you remember in the training room.
Reza: * smiled* Yeah.
Waldo: Hey, I hate this room.
Reza: Is he coming ready?
Erik: Ready
Waldo: Ready
Reza: So here we go
the monster ran at them
Erik: We duck.
Waldo: YAAAAAAAAA!
Reza: Grab him, grab him!
The monster now grab grapples and immobilize...
Reza: I call upon you, Nova, guardian of the wind, I, Cereza Lucis Caelum, call upon you!
Nova appeared and provoked a huge tornado that imprisoned the creature before being torn apart by the air gap in Nova's wings. The monster died and Nova disappeared.
Waldo: We got him. We did it. We did it.
Erik: Great move my queen
Reza : Forget the compliments, you won't get any promotions ahhh!
Erik : Reza What happening!
Reza : My device has been damaged, it won't hold for long.
Erik: Go to the citadel while there's still time.
Reza: But...
Erik: Go!
Reza left his comrades to charge towards the citadel.
Reza: Come on, I'm almost there.
She ran against the wall to land inside the citadel, she descended from her smoke-annihilated parachute and now unable to fly.
Reza: That was close,
I'm home, Daddy.
