Kusanagi #102796 fell onto his knees, heavily damaged from the overdrives and instant kills combined. He groaned in pain and tried to no avail to stand up. "Kuso… you sickened human… you may have defeated me, but…"
"Enough with the sinful vow, Sana," Yuuki spoke, "the headquarters' probably been destroyed by now. There's no way your comrades can assist you this time, and there's no way the NESTS will rule this world."
Sana was silent for a while, before he broke into laughter. "You think you can win this battle by merely destroying the base? The NESTS is invincible; they're everywhere, and they can take action anytime they want. You all shall never defeat us."
"Stop dreaming of impossible goal…!" Sana was startled. He looked at his back and could not believe his eyes. Hikki was back on his feet, despite his serious injury. "I shall… not allow that to happen!" he insisted and summoned a heavy gale from his palm. "This time… this time…"
"THIS TIME I SHALL KILL YOU FOR GOOD!" Sana exclaimed and pounced toward Hikki, in his desperate act to bring forth the will of NESTS. Hikki emitted a deafening battle cry and launched a gigantic Rising Crescent. This time, the NESTS warrior didn't make it, and was caught inside the violent storm. Torrents of crescent-shaped air blades hurled through cracks and fissures, cutting and shredding and tearing the clone's body. Subsequent to that, hurricane arrived at Kiev, sending everything to the open air. The daredevils had to take cover from being flown away. Sana couldn't stand a chance against the ferocity of Hikki, and slowly torn into pieces.
It ended. The Rising Crescent overdrive dissipated. There was no trace or the NESTS warrior, and all that remained was debris and metal pieces. Hikki, panting breathlessly, looked around and did not saw the sign of Sana. "He's gone… for good…"

Episode 23: FEAR THE BLUE SCREEN!
"Attention all personnel! Section B27 has been breached. All personnel immediately dispatch and eliminate intruders. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill."
Chaos struck at the NESTS headquarters. Almost in an instant, all the NESTS Kusanagi appeared from nowhere and ambushed the group. Robo Ky and Elde led the all-out attack against the HQ, gallantly fighting the marauding cloned soldiers. Potemkin, Zero and Millia supported from far, shooting F.D.B. and Emerald Rain and Spiral Shot at the attacking enemy. The Ikari Team, on the other hand, was assigned to infiltrate the base from the inside, purposely paralyzing all means of logistics and communications possible.
"THEY'RE TOO MANY!" Robo Ky exclaimed as he parried a Moon Harp Positive.
"Don't randomly attack," Elde calmly told the PWAB knight as he Mister Finer-ed NESTS Kusanagi. "Focus and attack the enemy nearest to you."
"HOW THE HECK SHOULD I FOCUS IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS CHAOS?" Robo Ky demanded and jumped over a Dark Sweeper tossed by another NESTS Kusanagi. "THAT'S IT! GENKY LOVER MODE ON!" Robo Ky got charged up and madly charged at the hordes, slashing and counterattacking every NESTS Kusanagi he met. Elde looked at the newborn iaijitsu master and could only shake his head.
"What a strange robot," he whispered with a chuckle and executed SEED Mode. "Zero! Potemkin! Millia! We need backup!" he yelled and dashed toward Robo Ky.
"Got it!" Millia shouted back and dashed into the chaotic battlefield. "Zero! Potemkin! Support me!"
"We heard that!" Zero exclaimed and withdrew his Zero Sabre, and dashed into the battlefield. "Potemkin, you better lend us some hands!"
"Okay!" Potemkin replied and jumped upward and crash-landed on several NESTS Kusanagi. "By the name of Zepp, I, Potemkin, declare my challenge against you all!" Potemkin roared and smashed the soldiers with Hammer Fall.
x-x-x-x-x
"Nests-sama! The base has been infiltrated! The soldiers can't deal with the intruders!"
"Hmm? Intruders?"
"Yes, Nests-sama! There are five of them, and they're fighting the Kusanagi soldiers right now."
"Hmm, for those who dare to challenge the will of NESTS, I'm very interested with them. Perhaps I should greet them, at least. Prepare an arena, I want it to be ready in 12 minutes."
"Wakarimashita."
x-x-x-x-x
"How is he, doc?"
"Well, according to my examination, his internal body is badly damaged. Also, his cardiovascular activity has become unstable."
"Are you sure, doc? I think you better go and examine him again."
"Never underestimate me, Miss Yuuki, for I am the greatest doctor the world has ever seen! Hah! Fear me!"
"Ceh, whatever you're babbling about, I don't know. But is he going to be alright?"
"I'm afraid he's not. He's been using his inner force too much, and his body has to sustain massive stress. One more action from him, and he's history."
"Eh? So that means he can't be cured? But I thought you have cures for every illness!"
"WHATA SAIKO! Of course I am but… this is by far the most difficult case I've ever had. I must say-"
"Alright, alright. The point is, Hikki should be rested for a long period of time. He must not be allowed to fight or accept challenge from anyone at any cost. Is that it, doctor?"
"AHA! Yes, that's what I'm trying to say! Well, you'll just take care of him. I have appointment with my patient after this. Sayonara!"
Amazed, the crews and passengers of Mayship watched up, as Faust gracefully flew in the blue yonder with his Mary Poppins-wannabe umbrella, shouting "VIVA WATASNE!" and "WHATA SAIKO!" all the way. Yuuki just corrected her eyeglasses.
"And so it brings us to one conclusion," Yuuki spoke as she, together with Johnny, Bridget, April, Athena and Justine, was having a peaceful evening tea at the ship's deck. "That Hikki has to be detained until he's fully healed off all injuries."
"I agree with Yuuki," John uttered as he took a sip of tea. "Since Hikki's in pretty bad shape, we have to keep an eye on him for a while."
"Is he going to be alright?" worriedly Athena asked.
"I don't know," Yuuki spoke and sipped the tea, "and besides, I'm very concerned of the word he spoke before he fainted."
.
"…evil blood… must resist…"
.
Yuuki scratched her chin and pondered, "Strange. I thought that I'd be able to investigate the background of Chrono magic via Hikki, but things seem to be more complicated. Huh, if only Lone Wolf's still here…" She breathed out and proceeded to drink another cup of Chinese Tea made and served by Bonne Jennet.
"But we owe him for defeating Sana," she spoke again and corrected her eyeglasses. "If he weren't here, we would've been crisped into oblivion. That NESTS warrior was so damn tough. Plus, he's got some nasty tactics out there."
"Speaking of which," John uttered, "I think we have ourselves a visitor." The impersonation of That Man looked down the deck and saw the sights of two husband/wife couples (plus a Japanese 'siblings' couple) walking down the street of Kiev, not noticing the presence of Mayship at the city park.
"Well, look at that," Yuuki spoke and shouted at the couples, waving to get their attention. "Hey, John, care to invite them onboard?"
"Of course," gratefully John replied.
The reunion was simple, yet it did bring the air of joy and gladness among the people. May, especially, was the happiest; being reunited with her beloved Bridget was the most unforgettable event she ever had. The news of Kusanagi #102796's defeat to Hikki also brought relief to them, though they were worried of Hikki's condition. Yet it didn't stop them from celebrating their victory.
"I don't know whether I can ask you this or not," Athena spoke, "but are you forgetting something, Yuuki?"
Yuuki was silent, staring at the Greek goddess in wonder. Then she let out a short gasp and groaned in dismay. "Oh, my. I almost forgot the attacking force."
"Waaa!?" Almost on an instant, the people looked at the direction of the cry. Goku of Gensoumaden Saiyuki utterly pouted in dismay, probably because he wasn't invited to the party.
"Goku? What are you doing here?" Ky asked.
There was a silent from the monkey boy. Then…
"Haraheta…"
x-x-x-x-x
The battle at NESTS headquarters became more intense, as more reinforcements in terms of NESTS Kusanagi soldiers were sent in. The paladins of iaijitsu, the Wanderer a.k.a. Swordsman Elde Talonn and the PWAB knight with free will Robo Ky, gallantly cut their way through the endless ocean of the cloned Kyo. The silent assassin Millia Rage, the Maverick Hunter Zero and the loyal soldier of Zepp Potemkin, aided backup from the behind. One can expect a lot of bloodshed and gore scenes in this kind of situation, except that the victims were mostly constructed of steel nerves and metal bones.
"ERROR! BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH!" Robo Ky screamed and landed a Hasshu Suki Shinki Nari on NESTS Kusanagi lined up. "YOU SICKENED REPLICATED! I SHALL CRUSH YOU ALL TODAY!" he exclaimed and charged at the arriving reinforcement. Elde tried to stop Robo Ky from raiding the reinforcement, yet the PWAB knight was already inside the human ocean, cutting and slashing every Kusanagi he could get.
"Robo Ky!" Zero shouted and dashed into the chaotic mass. The other three were about to follow, before Elde forbid.
"But they need our help!" Millia insisted. "Don't you see how many of the clones they have to face?"
"Calm down, Millia," Elde assured. "As soon as the Ikari Team manages to disrupt the main control panel unit, the replicated will be helpless. Without commands from their highest leader, defeating them should be an easy task."
"But still…" Millia's word was cut off when a Kusanagi charged at the three. She looked at the attacker and groaned in dismay. "That's it… LUST SHAKER!" The NESTS soldier got hit by Millia's strangling hair and was destroyed into pieces.
Elde could only breathe out in amazement. "Whatever." He spoke and re-executed his SEED Mode.
.
"Yikes! They're everywhere!" Leona cried in dismay as she jumped over an attacking Kusanagi.
"That's why we should follow them instead of being sent here!" Ralf shouted and blasted a Kusanagi with a Vulcan Punch.
"Whatever it is, we should rendezvous with them as quick as we can!" Clark insisted as he landed an Argentine Backbreaker on another Kusanagi. "Quick! To the entrance door! Elde has told us to meet him down at the main hall should anything happens to our task!"
"Roger!"
.
The mass attacks of the Kusanagi stopped as sudden as it started. All the daredevils were caught in confusion, watching warily as the NESTS soldiers slowly retreated in unison. "I wonder what happens now," Millia uttered as all of them grouped.
"I don't know, but I've got a bad feeling about this," Zero spoke.
Later, the Ikari team teamed up with them. "Hey! What's up?" Clark asked.
"Don't ask me, but seems the cloned soldiers are retreating," Elde spoke.
"Greetings, everyone." All of them looked at the direction of the voice and saw a man in robe walking down the aisle toward them. "Well, what a surprise. I never expect such lowlifes to be daring enough to infiltrate this base and practically mess up everything inside."
"Who are you? Are you the chief-in-order here?" Ralf demanded.
The man broke out in laughter. "You can say that, mister Ralf. However, it would be more appropriate if you just call me the Great Master NESTS, for that is the highest ranking I own."
The Ikari Team was startled. "Masaka…!" The man grinned and revealed himself under the cloak, much to the elite commandoes' surprises' "YOU!? We thought you were dead!" Clark exclaimed.
"Fate has spoken," the man by the name of Krizalid spoke, "that I am to take the position of Master Igniz as the new leader of the NESTS. As a matter of fact, I'm the one who conducted the assault on the PWAB research laboratory. Though it didn't go as planned, we managed to steal some of their research materials for our purpose. And remember the assault on the Guilty Gear Sol Badguy? I was the mastermind behind the brilliant plan, until that cursed warrior of the Yagami clan ruined everything."
Robo Ky's eyes shone in anger. "YOU HAD DESTROYED THE LAB!?" angrily he demanded. "THEN WHAT HAPPENED TO MASTER? WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!?"
Krizalid mockingly looked down at the robot. "Oh? Why should I consider answering a question asked from a piece of metallic crap?" He was silent for a while, staring at Robo Ky in interest and intrigue. Then, "Aha, I remember you. You're the one I assigned my men to capture you back at the Himalaya Mountains."
[flashback]
Robo Ky: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TWO? I DO NOT KNOW WHO YOU ARE, SO LEAVE ME ALONE.
Whip: (shouted) we are from the Syndicate Group. Our Master Krizalid has sent us to meet you.
Robo Ky: SYNDICATE GROUP? (Stared at Whip. Then he laughed) HA-HA-HA. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THAT NAME BEFORE. HA-HA-HA. WHY WOULD A SYNDICATE SEND THEIR AGENTS TO MEET ME? HA-HA-HA. HA-HA-HA.
Whip: (shouted) that's because Master Krizalid is very impressed with your performance. And you're replaceable, too.
Robo Ky: I AM REPLACEABLE? (Snapped) HOW THE HELL DID HE KNOW?! I AM THE ONE AND ONLY ROBO KY IN THIS WORLD! THERE IS NO ONE BUT ME!
[/flashback]
"KISAMA…!" Robo Ky growled under his electronic voice and stepped forward, as to challenge the NESTS boss in a duel. He was, however, stopped by the Ikari Team. "WHY ARE YOU STOPPING ME? LET ME BATTLE HIM!"
"You stand no chance against him!" Leona insisted. "The last time we challenged him, he PWNED us so badly and got our back tossed into the sewage. Do you think we'll allow that to happen to you? NO!"
Robo Ky glowered at the Amazon warrior. "AND WHO ARE YOU TO COMMAND ME!? I AM THE ONE AND ONLY FREE-WILLED ROBO KY! NOBODY DARES TO GIVES ME ORDER!" he blatantly declared.
Leona tried to convince the robot that challenging anyone related to NESTS was a bad idea, especially when that anyone happens to be the boss, when Elde signalled a headshake to her. "Let him in, Leona. It's been a while since someone from PWAB actually takes action."
"Now someone's speaking," Millia uttered, "why don't YOU go and challenge Krizalid?"
Elde merely shrugged and pointed at Robo Ky. "You have yet seen the true force this fellow possesses."
"Enough with this lame dialogue," Krizalid spoke and undid his robe, revealing his technologically advanced battlesuit, and opened his battle stance. "Whether it's one-on-one or one-on-all, I don't mind. But you all shall never surpass the will of-"
"THE WILL TO FUCKING HELL WITH IT!" Robo Ky screamed and charged toward Krizalid. Krizalid briefly blocked the robot's kamae, only to encounter a lightning-fast Beckoning Slash. He barely managed to dodge, and watched at the robotic impersonation of Ky Kiske who had returned into his iaijitsu stance. "I SHALL NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO STAND IN MY WAY, NOT EVEN YOU AND YOUR DAMNED WILL OF NESTS!"
Krizalid breathed out in disgust. "A robot claiming himself to be free-willed dares to challenge me? Very well, I shall give you a duel you'll never forget. Have at thee."
x-x-x-x-x
"Hikki-san, are you sure you have to go?"
"Gomen, but… my intuition keeps telling me to. Look, Hibiki. I know it isn't a good idea of dealing with the NESTS warrior, but…"
"But what?"
"I can't stand it when he's around, playing with Lone Wolf's name, like he has defeated him. Curse, I know something has to be done about him…!"
"Demou…"
"Please, Hibiki. The way you're saying it… it will force my heart into listening to pleads. I know you've been worrying of me this much, but… please, just let me go. I promise I'll come back as soon as I finish this matter."
"Will you promise me, Hikki-san?"
"Of all people, I will promise to you. Only you."
.
Hikki slowly opened his eyes. It was such an insignificant sleep, except for the portion of the dream he managed to remember. Slowly he lifted his hand to the ceiling and stared at it. "Only you… uh, I guess I couldn't keep the promise," he whispered and put the hand back on his body.
"Good morning, Mister Hikki." Hikki looked at his left and saw the sight of a woman so familiar that everybody would immediately recognize only by the sweet-sounding, if not innocent, voice. "Oh, I'm sorry for waking you up, but I was asked by Miss Yuuki to bring you breakfast. Well, I asked Mister Ky whether it was okay with him, and he just said 'yes'."
Hikki snarled and turned aside. "Damn, now everybody plays nice at me…" he grumbled, not looking at Dizzy who was already standing beside the bed, holding breakfast tray in her hands.
"What's wrong, Mister Hikki? You look so messed up today," Dizzy asked and arranged the cutlery set. "Oh, you know what, Mister Hikki? Everybody onboard Mayship talks about you defeating the NESTS… umm, what is it named again? Oh, Sana, yes. Miss Yuuki told me that you had saved us from the wrath of Sana, and… Mister Hikki?"
Hikki slowly stood up from the bed and approached the window. There was no reaction from the Korean boy, until he screamed in annoyance and punched the stainless steel wall of the room. "As if they're celebrating the victory, without even thinking of me?!" he exclaimed and, again, punched the wall. "Who gives a fucking damn about that?! I was badly injured after the battle, and they simply have a good time on the victory?! I couldn't fulfil the promise with Hibiki to come home unharmed, and they just ignore that?! WHAT KIND OF THIS SICKENED PEOPLE ARE THEY!?" Madly he punched the wall until it formed a bump that one could notice from outside the ship. Startled, Dizzy tried to approach Hikki before he screamed and fired everything inside the room with Reppuken. Like an injured tiger goes to rampage an unfortunate village, Hikki went amok, destroying and disaggregated everything in his line of sight. Dizzy managed to avoid from being hit by his attacks, considering that he was still recovering from injuries.
"ARGH! I'm getting sick of this people! Pretending that they'd treat me, but stabbing my back when I least expect it!" Hikki cried out and kept trashing the room. "If they want to ignore me, they why don't they do so?! They could've done that without having to make me suffer! THEY COULD HAVE DONE SO!" Then he fell onto his knees and broke into tears. "Why this has got to happen to me? Why? Why? Why is everyone always toying with my feeling?"
(Background music: My Immortal, Evanescence)
He felt a pair of radiant palms touching his battered face. He looked upward and saw a pair of tranquillity ruby eyes stared down at him in the most sympathetic sight she could muster. "What's wrong with you, Mister Hikki?" softly Dizzy asked.
"Dizzy…" It was all he could speak before he threw himself into her arms and cried. Bitter, angst, full of emotion, if not mentioning lots of tears, Hikki clung onto the innocent Gear and cried from the very depth of his broken and torn heart. "Do I… do I have to bear this pain all the time? Seeing this people enjoying their happiness… only leaves a scar inside my heart…" he half-whispered between his sobs. "I can't afford to bear it any longer… I just can't…"
A moment later, all the people onboard Mayship rushed to the room after noticing the sudden rumbling and loud bangs coming from the room. Ky was the first one to enter, realizing that his wife was inside with Hikki. "Dizzy! Are you…" he exclaimed before he saw Dizzy soothing Hikki. "Alright?"
The human/Gear hybrid placed a finger on her lips, signalling them to keep quiet. Then, she looked at Hikki who still cried. "He's… how should I say about him?"
"Depressed?" Yuuki suggested. "Come to think about it, he's been upset since the battle. He might be too exhausted, I think."
Dizzy merely breathed out as she placed a lithe palm on his scalp. "I don't know. Maybe he is. But…"
x-x-x-x-x
The battle between the renowned PWAB knight with free will, Robo Ky, against the feared KOFF'99 boss which is indeed a boss character while retaining his 'not-that-damned-cheap' feature, Krizalid, had commenced for hours. Elde and the rest of the group just watched, while still paid attention of the NESTS soldiers who made barricades around the fighting arena.
"DAMN YOU, KRIZALID!" the powered-up Robo Ky cried as he tried to land an endless stream of Hasshu Suki Shinki at Krizalid. "STOP DODGING LIKE A SISSY AND FIGHT LIKE A REAL MAN!"
"Me? To fight against a feeble robot?" Krizalid demanded and pulled out a Tornado Ring. The tornado ring kick (hence, its name) cancelled the overdrive and knocked Robo Ky off his course. "For an artificial intelligence who dares to challenge me, you are PATHETIC! DESPERATE OPPRESSION RAGE!" Krizalid caught Robo Ky and pinned him onto a corner, and gave out a total of 34 ultra-fast battering arms, each landed precisely on the robot's limb and joint.
WARNING! WARNING! BODY DAMAGE EXCEEDING 75% AND RISING!
"Robo Ky!" Millia, Potemkin and Zero cried in fear. They tried to rush into the battlefield as to interrupt the NESTS' boss' overdrive, yet Elde again forbad them. "Are you nuts! He could be destroyed if nobody helps him!" Millia demanded. Elde was silent, thoughtfully staring at Robo Ky who was badly beaten by Krizalid. "Well?"
"Now."
In a sudden, Robo Ky's automated battle system unleashed Psych Burst Counter and knocked Krizalid off his Overdrive motion. The usual square eyes now shone bright crimson red, and steams came out from all release vents. Robo Ky trembled violently, as if he was out of control due to the burst.
Then he halted.
Standing upright again, he held the hilt of the Thunderseal-katana tightly and retreated the blade into its sheath. Then…
"ERROR! BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH! FEAR THE BLUE SCREEN! FEAR THE DEATH! FOR I AM ROBO KY, THE OFFICIAL KNIGHT OF THE PWAB! FEAR ME!"
With the announcement declared, Robo Ky pounced at Krizalid and executed the best iaijitsu combo he could do. So blindingly, so fatally accurate, so menacingly deadly it was, that Krizalid was forced to parry all the attacks. Robo Ky didn't stop there; he jumped to the air as soon as Krizalid parried the last attack with Air Whirl Uppercut, and sheathed the blade in a blinding speed.
"ERROR! ORE WA ROBO KY!"
The Unchou no Iai-lookalike overdrive made contact with Krizalid. The first slash utterly lifted the boss to the air, and Robo Ky proceeded with three separate slashes onto his body. Altogether, the slashes made a huge capital "R" and exploded as Robo Ky landed on the ground.
Yet it still wasn't enough.
Robo Ky went into a bracing stance and executed the IK duration. He was determined to bring the glory of the NESTS to an absolute end.
Krizalid broke off the R sign and landed back on the floor. Breathing heavily, he stared at the robot warrior and hissed disapprovingly. "Such a total brat. Trying to defeat me… you shall never stop the will of the NESTS," he insisted between his breaths.
"Forget it, Krizalid," Elde spoke. "Even if NESTS manages to survive, it will be targeted as a priced bounty and subject of everyone's fear. And before you could mention the name of Kusanagi #102796, forget it. He's been defeated already."
Krizalid groaned in anger. The most trustworthy warrior the NESTS had ever had, and on top of all, the only hope of continuing the legacy of NESTS. There's no way Sana would lose! He insisted. There is NO way!
"So, Krizalid? Thinking of admitting a defeat?" Elde asked.
"Huh, you think I will submit and bow down before you?" Krizalid spoke. "NEVER! I shall never admit my defeat to you human! EVER!"
Elde merely breathed out. "So be it." He, then, signalled to Robo Ky, in which the robot acknowledged with a nod. Robo Ky opened an iai stance and slowly pulled the blade out of its sheath, while his eyes sharply stared at Krizalid.
"THIS IS FOR MY MASTER," Robo Ky declared and dashed past Krizalid's body. Before the NESTS boss could speak a word, a tense electric current flowed through his blood veins and nerve vessel, damaging each and every part of his internal organ. A moment later, his outer body was enveloped by electrified veil, and before long Krizalid was caught in an agonizing pain resulted from the electricity.
"FEAR THE BLUE SCREEN."
Subsequent to that, the electricity merged and combined to form an immense explosion. Krizalid cried in total pain. His body could not sustain the punishing amount of electric energy unleashed inside of his body. The pain was more agonizing, as the energy purposely attacked the very source of the power he had been obtaining and analyzing from the very first day he became the NESTS officer. The NESTS soldiers watched in shock; they did not and could not know what to be done to help their master.
"SELF-DESTRUCTION MODE ACTIVATED. THIS BASE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN 10 MINUTES. ALL PERSONNEL ARE REQUIRED TO PROCEED TO THE DESIGNATED ESCAPE POD. THIS IS NOT A DRILL, I REPEAT, THIS IS NOT A DRILL."
"Damn, not at this time!" Ralf mumbled.
"Quick, everybody! To the exit door!" Elde told them. "Robo Ky! We must get hurry! This base is going to be destroyed!" There was no response from Robo Ky. The robot merely stood on his feet, ignoring the call. "Robo Ky?! Are you not listening!"
"YOU GO FIRST," Robo Ky told him. "I… I HAVE THINGS TO BE SETTLED HERE FIRST."
"What? Have you gone mad?!" Elde demanded.
"A ROBOT WITH FREE-WILL LISTEN TO NO ONE'S ORDER," Robo Ky answered. "HE LISTENS TO ONLY HIS INTUITION. YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME OF THAT, HVE YOU NOT?"
"But still…!"
Robo Ky turned around and gave him an assuring glance. "DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME. I WON'T GET STUCK IN THIS PLACE EASILY."
Elde tried to say more before he gave up. "Just… be careful, okay?" he insisted before he left Robo Ky in the midst of the chaos. "Good luck, on… whatever your quest is, Robo Ky."
"THIS BASE WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.
FOUR.
THREE.
TWO.
ONE."

"I have no one to trust on this world… not even a single person can win my heart. I have totally shut my heart off from the outside world, and not allow anyone to enter the forbidden domain. I have completely lost trust of all people, and I cannot now put my trust on them anymore."
"Then all I have said to her for a long time is a lie. Yes. I have lied to her, and I have lied to myself. I'm such a sinner for telling a lie. But I don't care. Why should I speak the truth, when the outcome is still the same as it used to be?"
"My heart is broken. My heart is deeply torn. My heart hurts so much, it aches so much inside of me. It's so cold inside, no warmth could penetrate even its protective barrier. But then, I don't care. Why should I whine over this matter, when my tears are noticed by no one?"
"But…"
"Why am I… so desperate… to be loved? Why am I… crying so much… for someone who will accept me? Why am I… hopelessly wishing… for the only one I can trust in? Why do I… keep on waiting… for desire these hands could not reach?"
"Who do I really need? Who do I really look into? Who do I really wish to be with? Who?"
"Somebody… please… save this worthless one… please… I beg of anyone…"
