Akuen: Evil Destiny::
It was awkward. In this kind of position. The way they were sitting like that…in a very cold room. The small blond shivered slightly. GIS had always been so cold. Well, that was because they were floating in space, Erts reminded himself. But then again…he didn't feel cold at that moment. He was in someone's arms. Someone was holding him and they weren't afraid. It was…nice.
"Yu…?" he muttered softly, snuggling deeper into the dark-haired teen's arms. He liked being held.
"Hai…Erts-san?" Yu's voice was almost inaudible. He rarely spoke, but when he did his voice was soft and melodic. It made Erts want to hear more of that sweet voice.
"Do you…? I mean…" It felt strange to be asking a question like this and it wasn't like him. Erts blushed slightly and whispered quietly, "do you…care about me? No one cares about me…"
Yu stiffened. Did he always think that no one cared about him? "Yes, I do. I promised I would take care of you. Erts…everyone loves you. Do not ever think like that, koi."
Erts smiled contently. "Thank you…" I can't remember…the last time I've smiled like this, Ernest. I…I'm actually happy…is that wrong?
Love is never wrong… It came like a faint whisper in a small breeze. Doubts washed away from the blond's mind. So it had been…his brother was always watching him.
Gareas traced his fingers along the smooth glass of the window. It almost hurt to think that Ernest had just been here. That he had just been holding him. The entire world felt empty to him without Ernest. He couldn't let that get him down though. There are people that care and depend on him. He had to stay strong and he remembered…that he and his angel would be together someday. Another day forward…is another day closer to the end…
"Garu?"
Gareas looked over his shoulder for a brief second. "Yes, Leena?"
The blond girl approached him slowly. She was uncertain about confronting her partner at first. It hurt her so much to see him sad and unstable. But he would be all right…because he was strong and Ernest was with him. Placing her hand comfortingly on his shoulder, Leena asked quietly, "Garu…how…how are you?"
"I'm…doing better, Leena. I think…" he smiled placidly, then chuckled slightly. "You don't have to worry about me anymore, Leena. I'll be fine…"
"Oh, good," Leena said with a sincere smile. "I'm so glad, Garu. I care about you a lot, so I want you to be happy. You looked so sad when you…Erts…"
The pilot drew in a deep, rather painful, sigh. "I don't know what's been happening with me lately. I've just been so afraid… Love drives you to delusions, doesn't it?" He continued to smile out the window. "Heh, but I feel very relieved now. I've been comforted and I know that there are people who care about me. So thank you…for caring…"
Leena softened and smiled tenderly. "Oh, you…!" Laughing slightly, she playfully ruffled his hair. "You don't have to thank me for anything. Just take care of yourself and I'll be grateful. Besides, I've never seen you so calm before! Something wonderful must have happened to you."
The green-haired teen chuckled softly. "I guess you could say that, huh? Wonderful—!"
The two jerked their heads up at once when they heard the alarm*. Gareas looked out the window and narrowed his eyes angrily at the VICTIM. "Bastards…so they came back for more, huh? Come on, Leena. Let's go!"
Leena nodded and ran after him. So what Tune had said about seeing Ernest…was this the wonderful thing that happened to Garu? It must have been, because nothing would make him happier than seeing Ernest again…
"Damn…" Rio frowned when the alarm went off. Why did something always have to ruin his perfect moments?
"Um…Rio…?"
Blinking, he instantly replied, "Yes? Phil?"
"LET GO OF ME…and get ready for battle…!" Phil reluctantly pulled away from him to find him smiling ear to ear. "What's so good to be smiling about, you idiot? You're about to go into battle!! …And you better come back safely…"
Rio laughed. "Ha! I knew you would worry about me!" He winked. "But since you'll be so concerned, I'll make sure I get back here without a scratch…just for you!"
Phil glared at him. "If you get back here alive, you won't be alive for very much longer after I deal with you, Rioroute Vilgyna! Oh, you!! You better come back or I'll go out there and kill you myself!"
Laughing happily, Rio raced for Agui-Keameia. The situations and they way they spoke to each other may have seemed strange, but deep down inside, they understood how each other felt. They both knew they loved each other and that's all they needed to know.
"Don't worry, Phil! I promised, didn't I?" Rio winked at her before completely emerging into the cockpit.
Phil smiled softly after him. "You, idiot…"
"Phil! Where's Erts and Yu?" Gareas exclaimed, running by her to jump in the Eeva-Leena. "Have you seen them?"
"We're right here." Erts approached them with Yu behind him with a light hand on his shoulder. "Sorry to keep you waiting," the blond apologized, blushing slightly.
Gareas smiled back in a knowing sort of way. "Hey, don't stress over it! Let's get going, you two! We should just let VICTIM wait out there for us to kick their asses."
"Luhma-Klein is ready for you, Erts," Tune said softly from behind him. She had wanted to disappear, but Erts was still her partner and repairing the Luhma-Klein was her obligation.
"Thank you," Erts said with a calm smile, climbing into the cockpit.
"Onii-san…*"
Yu smiled (mou…for once ^___^) reassuringly at his beloved sister and faded away into the Tellia-Kallisto.
"All right!" Gareas's voice came over the intercom. "Let's kick some VICTIM ass! Number One, are we ready?"
"Yes…" came the faint and short reply. (-__- okae, there. I put her in…for 2 seconds. Lol)
Happier and with high hopes of love and faith, the Goddess pilots flew into battle.
~*~
Screams, crying with pain. The essence of death…was everywhere. The battlefield was in a rage of commanding instructions and reports. He couldn't bare to watch this battle. He couldn't bare to go on…but he did. For them…my friends…
Erts took in a deep breath and faced his fears the best he could. It wouldn't be easy for him…who said it would have? His empathy was driving him to the realms of insanity, but he had to keep it together. To protect them. To protect the ones he loved and everything he held dear. For them, he would fight.
"I have a very bad feeling something bad is going to happen…" Leena muttered under her breath as she watched the battle from GIS, holding her breath in trembling fear.
"There haven't been so many VICTIM since Ernest…" Phil trailed off, not wanting to go on. She chewed herself out for bringing something like that up. She couldn't help but share Leena's sense of worry. Something bad was definitely going to happen. "Oh, Rio…please come back safely…"
Tune stared hopelessly out at Luhma-Klein. It was true, there were just so many of VICTIM against so little of them. She would worry herself sick over Erts and now she was.
"You don't have to worry about him," said a quiet voice. Kazuhi smiled slightly. "Onii-san…will protect Erts-san…"
"I…I know…" Tune smiled ever so slightly, knowing that Erts was safely being looked after. She was still worried. She hated battle. She hated the thing that had killed Ernest…
"Damn it! There's so many!" Gareas grumbled. He and Yu were fighting back to back at the moment, destroying as many VICTIM as they could. There wasn't as many as when Ernest…had been killed, but there were still a tremendous amount of them. It helped to think of Ernest. Gareas was angered, he was simply given another reason to keep fighting.
Yu's head jerked up suddenly. "The VICTIM leader!"
The green-haired teen followed his gaze. It was true. The large VICTIM leader was several miles away, but seemed rather far away. The thing that bothered him was the fact that it was heading in a certain direction… "Erts! The leader is heading straight for Luhma-Klein! ERTS!"
This caught everyone's attention, including the repairs back on GIS. Erts looked up and saw that the VICTIM leader was just a few hundred feet away from him. He was no where near any of the other pilots and out of the corner of his eye he could see both Eeva-Leena and Tellia-Kallisto racing to aid him. For some reason, he knew…there was no way either of them could make it in time. So was this how he was going to die? VICTIM was just about ready to strike its final blow on him now. So, he thought bitterly, this is my death. The same as my brother's…
"ERTS!"
