On a side note. I know Chapter 2 had its fair share of mistakes and what not. This chapter should be edited much better.
Through the eyes of a Phantom
Chapter 3 - Extermination
Its been a month now since Copy X took command of the Neo Arcadian forces. We had some time to adjust to his some what questionable methods, but we were bound to follow his orders.
"You have your orders. Now, move out!" shouted Copy X.
Our orders were to exterminate a group of reploids that were supposedly mavericks. Copy X didn't give us any justifiable reasons why they were judged as mavericks, he just said exterminate them. I guess we are doomed to follow his orders.
"Phantom, is something wrong?"
I looked up to find Fairy Leviathan standing over me. "No…well maybe. Its just that Copy X has ordered us time and time again to eliminate maverick threats. Though I really don't think that the reploids we retired were actually maverick."
She looked at me rather sadly. " I know what you mean. I really don't know if they were or weren't. All I know is that my duty is to do as master X commands. We are his guardians."
"I know Fairy…X was my friend, and I would do anything for him. I am obligated to do the same for Copy X, but…" My thoughts wandered for a moment. "What if Copy X is wrong? What if the reploids weren't maverick at all?"
"Then I guess we are nothing but murderers… I know its hard to think about, but we do have our duty. Lets go out and do our job." Leviathan smiled at me then walked off.
"I guess she was right, we do have our duty." I said equipping myself , then heading to the trans server.
With in moments I was teleported to the front lines. I could tell the fighting had already begun. Harpuia and Fefnir were engaging the enemy head on. Fefnir's flaming shots could be seen trailing off in the distance. The hiss of Harpuia's beam daggers could be heard, and explosions would soon follow. Fairy Leviathan also ran into the heat of battle. She wasn't much of a fighter on land, but when she was on her own playing field, that was a different story. I drew my sword and entered the confusion.
"What took you two so long?" Harpuia shouted over explosions.
"Sorry, Phantom and I were discussing something while we were equipping ourselves." Leviathan told Harpuia.
"So the two of you have become secret lovers huh?!" Fefnir snorted.
"What?" I ask confused.
"Shut up Fefnir. If you don't knock it off Ill turn you into scrap and wear you as armor!" Leviathan yelled at Fefnir.
While firing at the enemy Fefnir couldn't help but laugh at Leviathan for being so flustered by his remark.
" Knock it off all of you. We have a mission to complete." Harpuia said with a firm tone.
I couldn't help but laugh on the inside. Leviathan was a beautiful reploid in my eyes. If things were different, and if I had time for that sort of thing, it might have been a different story. All that mattered right now was defeating the enemy.
I took a few hits from several reploids using busters. The shots didn't phase me at all. The busters they used were quite weak. I retaliated by throwing my kunai into each reploids chest. This paralyzed them, leaving them open to attack. I sliced through them as if it were nothing. What a waste…
The mavericks we were fighting against were from the resistance that had formed against Neo Arcadia. As I looked around I could see that the fighting was calming down. In the distance I could hear Fefnir taunting the enemy. I knew we were just about finished, and I was begging to head back when all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain.
"Ha ha! Just my luck to run into a guardian. Well then Guardian! How does it feel to experience pain like this?"
I looked at my side and found one of my own kunai sticking in my side. I looked up from my wound to find a resistance soldier that was unlike the rest.
"Your quite the cocky one aren't you?" I directed at the mysterious soldier.
"Why don't you just shut up and die!" he shouted as he kicked me in the jaw. "Tell ya what. I'll let ya know what my name is before I retire you and return home a hero. I am Alex, your worst nightmare!"
It was at that moment I realized how much I hated cocky people. "Your pretty confident, what makes you think you can beat me?"
"I'll tell you why. Your wounded and can't fight. That is what makes my life so much easier." Alex said mockingly.
That it, this kid is going down. I lunged at him with my sword, but he was quick to move away. He then drew his own sword which was also like mine. It wasn't a beam saber it was a traditional Japanese sword. He swung at me. I rolled out of the way. The sword then crashed into the ground. I used my sword to sweep the ground as I sprung to my feet. Nicking his ankle he fell to the ground.
"Do you yield?" I asked monotone.
"Never! I would never yield to someone like you! I will take you out, and X as well!" Alex screamed back at me.
"You think you can take out X?"
"Yes as a matter of fact I DO!" He shouted jumping into the air.
I dodged the initial blow from his sword, but he did manage to some damage to my armor. I lashed my sword at him catching his arm before be moved out of the way. A blood chilling scream filled the air, and blood began to gush from his open wound.
"Your…human?" I asked puzzled
"Yeah I am…" He said in a panicked voice.
"What have I done…"
"Tell X, that I am coming for him, you better watch your back…we have something in store for you." Alex laughed.
Grabbing his wound, he teleported away. Once he was gone I looked at the battlefield. The battle had stopped and everyone was gone. I teleported back to base as well. I needed to talk to Copy X.
"You what!!" Copy X screamed
"That's correct…"
"So you injured a human!"
"Sir I didn't know he was human. He attacked me and I defended myself. He was threatening you, so I retaliated." X didn't look to pleased with what I was saying.
"Fine under the situation you did whay had to do. This act would have been inexcusable otherwise. Make sure it never happens again. And for the record if this Alex does come to fight me, I will make sure that he is brought to justice." Copy X then stormed out of the room.
"Great, I managed to mess things up." I said to myself
"Things happen for a reason" It was Fairy again "Don't blame yourself. You were attacked. I know we aren't supposed to harm humans, but you didn't know, and you were defending yourself. What else could you have done?" She asked concerned
"I don't know…I want to defend Copy X, but this is the treatment I get for it. I just really don't know what to think right now."
"Well listen Phantom, if you ever need to talk I am always willing to listen. I think you need to do something to take your mind of everything. I know a certain red reploid who wants someone to spar with him."
"Leviathan, I think your right. I'll go spar with Fefnir. Thanks Leviathan. I think that's the advice I was looking for."
She smiled " Sure it was no problem at all"
Note - Leviathan and Phantom will not become a item. They are close but that's about it. I did that so Leviathan has more personality.
