Chapter Ten: Rebirth
Leos stepped into the Disorder's Nest, watching as an AC fought off some
disorder units itself. The armored core was piloted by a man name Tiki, and
the AC's name was Tikitian. "Good to see you made it! I can't take much
more; I've got to go soon..." Tiki sent his message to Leos, as he sliced
the top of an MT off, lifting into the air again, firing down at the
disorders. He thrust out the entrance of the cave, saluting Leos as he
left. "Good luck, fellow Raven." Tiki overboost away from the area, Leos
saluting him back. Leos began a rampage through the disorder units, his
blade slicing through the low armored enemies.
"Urg, there has to be something more dangerous than these." Leos yawned, as he cut through the hordes of enemies. In the shadows at the bottom of ruins stood two mechs in the shadows. They remained hidden to the sight, as a comm. opened up between them. "Master, seems our guest is bored? Shall I entertain him? Thank you master." The mecha stepped into the light as it thrust through the tunnels. Leos stood still as the final disorder in the room exploded, a blast of energy coming up from a weak point in the ground. The armored core landed on the ground, slowly standing up, Leos turning to it. "So who are you?" Leos questioned the sudden appearance of this Raven, thrusting back as the enemy's blade sliced through the air. "You may call me Evil K, but soon that will not matter for you shall die." The pilot laughed as he rose into the air, his blade coming down on Leos' core. The armored core stood up, placing it karasawa next to the Arch-Angel. He fired off a shot, Leos quickly dodging to the left. The beam burning the armor, the beam hitting the other side of the room, the wall crumbling to the ground. Leos' blade sliced across the armored core's arm. "You bitch, you damaged me!" Evil K screamed, as Leos flew back to the other side of the room, firing of his machinegun, kneeling to the ground as the laser cannon was armed. "Now, you die." Leos smirked as he shot the blast of energy across the room, Evil K's armored core being struck in the chest, bursting into flames. "No! Revelr, I can't believe it! My master will get you!" Evil K screamed as his armored core burst into flames, Leos looking at it strangely. "Revelr?"
An armored core stepped from the shadows below Leos. The armored core was black a coal, with a patch of white, and was painted to appear as if it was splashed with blood. It held a Karasawa, the armored cores name, Revelr, an ace pilot for the old days of the Nest. "Looketh back. Whatsoever gaveth rise to our Armageddon of Independence? Nobody knows but Jesus. Wherefore didst we becometh followers of Sephiroth Barb? For three-eth long years we hath all waited. We stand united and not one sinner in our force shall ever turn unto from Satan's duty. Now, with the wine of the young burning unto us, I declare Armageddon upon the Earth Temple. We shall ignore the whispers of whatsoever is known as a false peace. We shall repeat now and forever more what we hear in our hearts. Jesus, son of God, also son of Mary, daughter of God, speaks: To restore the glory of our homeland. Why is it in this age, a crime to dream Raven? All those with desires of a beautiful world filled with peace are confused with madmen who want nothing but chaos. Raven, you should know this better than anyone. Now, we must fight for the future of all mankind. We all make mistakes. Don't you think, Raven? We humans need strict supervision. We cannot live on our own. A state dedicated to Ravens? I'm a realist, not some fool. All that I have wanted to do is revive the ways of old. Die, rebel!"
Leos listened to the man's speech over the comm., the young Raven scratching the back of his neck. "Well, looks like I have made quite afew enemies in this world. I guess its a good thing I sent Rachel to Earth, I'm certain she would interfere in this match." Leos AC thrust towards the hole in the center of the cave, the blue sparks from his boosters lighting up the room. He cut of the energy as he fell through the hole, his AC's legs recoiling as he hit the ground. The AC he looked up to stare at was Death Knell.
The Arch-Angel thrust back into a wall, Leos looking around the room as his enemy did the same. All four sides of the room where held up by huge stone pillars. On each quadrant of the room, a disorder control mechanism. Death Knell stood on the other side of the room, the AC shinning from the light reflected through the room by the polish like walls. Heliographs where etched into the walls of what appeared to be disorder units crashing down huge towers, and an armored core standing high over the ruins. The AC had back panels, and a strange shaped head. It was the only part of the wall painted, the AC itself crimson red, and the surrounding area if it in a bright yellow. "Raven, you have come so far. In you path you have left the ruins of the ancient people. Now Raven, you must be stopped, prepare to die!"
Leos' AC thrusted towards the monstrous armored core, the blue light of its blade slicing through the image of Revelr's armored core. Leos looked up, as he smirked, his eyes opening wide as the image faded a way, a cold, black, steel blade crossing the back of Arch-Angel. Leos screamed as his armored core fell forward, the dust lifting into the air as the font of the AC smashed into the ground, the stone floor trembling from the force, cracking into small splinters. The Arch-Angel struggled to get to its feet as the solid blade slide back into Revelr's AC's wrist. The Death Knell stood beside the Arch-Angel, silently waiting. "Raven, how could you have possibly come this far, and be so weak? So me your strength Raven!" Revelr dashed to the side, his karasawa lighting up the air as beams of energy sour through the air, striking the back of the Arch-Angel.
Leos forced his armored core into the air, balancing out its stability, landing softy to the ground, as he ran to the left. Spinning around with his boosters, his FCS locking around the image of Death Knell. Leos fired off his MG-SAW, the bullets piercing the image, as is fazed and disappeared. "Not again!" Leos thrusted towards the center of the battle field as Revelr again sliced towards him, the blade stabbing into the air. The Arch-Nemesis turned to Death Knell, the barrel of the machinegun heat up as shots flew towards Revelr's chest. The armored core lifted, as shots passed under it. Revelr thrust back as Leos knelled to the ground, his shoulder cannon arming itself. The blast passed through the air, striking Revelr in the chest. "Good to see you can hit me, but I bet you weren't expecting this!"
Revelr thrust to the left, his image trailing behind him, Leos' FCS going crazy, looking onto each separate image. "What the hell?" Leos screamed he fired his shots at Revelr, the bullets trailing behind the armored core as the Death Knell continued its approach, a spark flashing from its arm as the blade skimmed out the container, Leos thrust back quickly as the steel skimmed over his core's chest, Leos firing shots directly into Revelr's core, the ace blasting off the ground, the rest of the shots passing under him, the armored core rising into the air, floating high above the ground as it equipped his karasawa.
The beams of light followed along Leos' path, Leos dodging left to right, circling around the room, Leos sweat dripping down his face, his grip around the controls tightening. "Screw you demon!" Leos yelled as his armored core's booster light up brighter, overboosting beneath Death Knell's feet.
The Arch-Angel turned around, his karasawa firing up at him, the shots hitting the Death Knell's back. Revelr burst to the right, the next shots hitting the ceiling next to him. "What, huh!" Revelr screamed as Leos burst into the air, his blade bursting from his arm slicing across Death Knell's legs, the armored core bursting into flames as it fell to the ground. "Raven, your mission, it is not finished. He stills aches for power, and now, you are his. You cannot run from him. He is everywhere. Raven!" Revelr's screams were panicked and disoriented. Leos looked at the burning AC in interest, as Revelr let his dying breath.
Leos stood at the foot of the burnt Death Knell, a wooden cross in front of him, the name Revelr etched into it roughly. Leos knelled next to it, praying beneath his breath. "Perhaps they are right. I may be a demon. I could be the messenger of evil, not the savior of mankind." Leos walked to the Arch-Angel, pushing his hair to the side as he grabbed onto a wire, lifting into the air as he stepped into the cockpit. Outside, far off in the distance, laid down a burning AC next to a wrecked transport ship.
The charred armored core was that of Tikitian. Beside it stood the rusted, half destroyed figure of Kiss the World Goodbye. Inside its cockpit, laid back on the chair, a dead, half his skull torn away, carcass of Sephiroth. His eyes were opened, gleaming a crimson light. In his mouth his slowly whispered. "Leos...... What is destiny?" Kiss The World Goodbye's boosters charged up and the AC soured through the air, towards the disorder nest.
"Urg, there has to be something more dangerous than these." Leos yawned, as he cut through the hordes of enemies. In the shadows at the bottom of ruins stood two mechs in the shadows. They remained hidden to the sight, as a comm. opened up between them. "Master, seems our guest is bored? Shall I entertain him? Thank you master."
