Curriculum 05: Angel
Rusai felt a new energy surge through him. He was still a bit unsure about the situation, but he trusted Arie and he didn't want to let her down. 'What is this feeling? Can it be? A new EX!' Rusai thought as he looked deep into Arie's eyes and saw their shifting colors; he never broke contact with Arie's eyes. Right then and there, Rusai knew that Arie was special, who knows, maybe she was the angel he was looking for all along...
"Yes..." she said to him. " 'Angel' is my ability..." and with that wings formed on the girl's backside, as they overshadowed all instances occurring around them. "My 'condition' is one that no other can understand. Not even I know it's true powers. But if you help me, I know we can protect this ship... together..." she said, moving closer to Rusai.
The Giseisha were becoming more and more numerous around the ship, as the crew was ordered to refrain from using the pods. The alarms were still blaring and the crowds of people were becoming restless and panicked. Time was running out for the transporter, everyone could sense it. Just then the intercom came on once more.
"Attention all personnel, due to the appearance of more Giseisha in the vicinity it has been deemed pure suicide to launch the pods in our current position. We have sent in a distress call to G.O.A. and they have assured us that they are in the process of getting the Five Goddess' to support us. Though, it is unconfirmed where the distances between us and the station lie. Please stay calm, help is coming..." and with that the captain ended his transmission.
"Rusai... please. Will you lend me your strength..?" her voice was troubled, but it's purity had been restored. 'This curse of mine... how much longer can I hold out..?' she thought as she awaited his final answer, the answer that would seal the fates of her and all of those around them.
This time, without hesitation, Rusai answered, but his time, his voice was strong, but yet, gentle at the same time.
"Yes Arie, I will." He gently replied. He firmly grasped Arie's hands. "I will stay here by your side, forever and always..." Rusai whispered, wanting to let Arie know that he wouldn't let her don't, wouldn't fail her expectations. While around them, the ship was being thrown into chaos as the Giseisha closed in. They were in their last moments, it was either save the ship now, or go down in a burning blaze of glory.
