'Zidet: Hey, Hey everyone! I am back!
Fefnir: yay...
Sage: (sigh)
Zidet: hey, what's wrong with you guys...?
Fefnir: hmm, we still don't think you have time..
Zidet: (thinks) oh.. about Zero and Ciel romance..unfortunately. I have thought it all over.. and I dont have the time to put it in..at this moment. If those of you who want that can understand. A lot is happening at the time... and well.. Romance would be somewhat..misplaced.
Ciel: (cries) no fair!
Zidet: (pats) sorry Ciel..anyways.Let's hurry and continue. Please continue reading. hope you all like it so far. And I pray you all aren't to terribly confused to where you won't enjoy this chapter.
To Korosa- I will be sure to let you know, Uncle Sake when this goes up..like..now! (IM's you)
To Rioni Riishu- five times of death 00? well..thats..normal.So... THANK YOU FOR STILL READING RI! (hugs tightly) yay for Biscuit Agents!
To Daidairo- Hmm.. yes that is correct. Ciel would be the Auntie, and (giggles) of course Levi and Ciel aren't related.Cammy just thinks of Levi as her mom easily since she cares so much for her. yup yup .so.. Thank you for reading (hugs)
To windwingxs- yes Poor Phantom. Is he in for a suprise. Wel,l read to find out, ok? And thank you for still reading again!
To BanbieBunny- Well I am glad you are amazed with my story. And the romance? no... no drippyness (smiles) But I do believe there is misunderstanding. The soldier thinking Cammy was a woman was a joke. Guess I didn't write it well enough. But when he said that he finally figured it out. Cammy was sure that they had been caught. so when he called her a woman afterwards, she just went along with it to avoid more questions. And yes. she is still a child.They aren't really super hero's. In a way...its just her childish imagination. yup yup. So no need to worry about her losing her childlike innocence. Her speech this round was influenced by Levi's interaction with guys.
To Sylvia- I am glad you like it! Hope you enjoy this next chapter!
To Shuinka- I am flattered! So glad you like it! And yes! I am continuing! go ahead and read now (smiles)
To starfighter48- Well I must say, I am glad you weren't dissapointed. I will try hard this chapter to make it even better. I hope. Thanks for reading still yup yup!
To Kriim- hm Poor Fefnir. No characters are having much luck in this story, eh? Such a sad biscuit. Well glad you are interested! Hope you like this chapter!
To Zero's Shadow- Oh I didn't take it personally. I understand. And very happy you still continue to read despite all the mistakes. A fanfic? Well I will be sure to read. Tell me when you get it up if you want me to read it , that is. Oh and thanks for the compliment on the plot twist!
To Firehedgehog- I am happy you like the fic.And as for team rocket. Yes, I have watched Pokemon before (laughs)
To Archaon- Yes, I love having fun with Fefnir. Poor Biscuit. Anyways...The Resistance Base. Yes. I do believe it was a junkyard. But surely if you walk farther away from it.. there might some scenery. I hope... if not (looks back and flails arms) use your imagination! yes! (runs away screaming) I am not crazy!
Zero continued on his way to Neo Arcadia,a sharp cold expression on his face. He gritted his teeth, attempting to go even faster then he had been, but seemed to already be at full speed. It would have been much faster if he could have just spoken to one of operators of the base and get a transfer. But Neo Arcadia would defiantely be prepared for something as simple as that. It was obvious they were expecting him.But there was no way he would turn his back on Ciel. Not after all she had done for him and the resistance base. She had always been there for everyone. Kept smiles on their faces and always lifted peoples spirits. But who would make her smile at Neo Arcadia? Nobody would be there to help her when she felt down. When she had done so much.
The crimson reploid closed his eyes, thinking as he sped farther down the path.
' I never liked that copy of X very much since the very beginning. But there is just something about him that keeps tearing at me. He isn't the same. He seems so unstable as time passes. It might be my imagination.. but... I highly doubt that. Everyone tells me that he is just confused. Maybe so.. But this confusion can turn into many things. And I don't want to see the results. They will surely be tragic. And I hope..I hope that those results have nothing to do with Cammy or Ciel'.
Zero decided it was time to stop thinking about such things and deal with them head on when he got there. With one quick dash, he was off even faster then he thought possible. He smirked and looked straight ahead.
"Ciel..don't worry.. I'm coming".
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Sniffling still echoed of the wall of Ciel's dim prison. Her blonde hair refused to cooperate, swinging over her eyes, and sticking to her face from all the tears.
"Sage..Harpuia.. I have never spoken of Brina until now. And I am so confused... I wish I had answers. I know someone like you know's more then what you lead on to.Why won't you tell me? If you just escorted her back to Neo Arcadia...why do you seem so reluctant to talk about anymore".
There was a choke from her tears, her hands shaking, still attached to the chains.
In the far corner, Harpuia leaned against the wall, eyes to the ground, and arms crossed. So many images passed through his mind at full speed. It was all going so fast. Like a blur. But..as the seconds passed, time seemed to slow down for his memories. They stopped.. and begin to play like a film without sound. Ciel's voice was heard, but not as well as he would have liked.
'Brina..'
His eyes closed letting the past go through him.
Sweet Brina.. she was crying. Sitting on the bed, her face buried in her hands. He could see the tears go pass her cheeks, reaching her chin and dripping to the floor. A baby was in a crib not to far from her.
'I didn't know what to say'.
Her face slowly moved away from her soft hands, gazing up at him. Her whole body shaking. So fragile and small.
'I didn't know what to do'.
She fell from the bed and onto to the floor staying on her knee's, wrapping her arms around her body for some comfort. She..is still shaking.
'I'm sorry...'
Her head lowered to her chest, falling forward, curling up on the floor. She continued to shake her head continously. Blonde hair let loose all down her back, smoothly in somewhat of a graceful fashion. Her eyes came back up to his, one tear going down her face once more. Those eyes asked so many questions. One's that he could not answer... Could anyone answer them for her?
'I am..so sorry'.
Into a kneeling position, his hand went to her side, before using his other hand to pull her up in a sitting position. There were words. Not many..But just enough to halt her shaking. Her body jerked forward grabbing onto him, hugging him tightly.
'I wish I would have taken the time..to do the same.'
His arms pulled her up to now keep her standing, keeping his hands on her shoulders. Brina's eyes stayed to the floor, one hand to her chest, nodding to his words. He then sat her on the bed, eyeing the child in the crib for a split second, before looking back to the teary eyed woman infront of him. He moved his lips to her ear and whispered gently to her. A very faint weak smile crossed Brina's lips. Her expression held a hint of relief, grabbing onto his hand and holding it tightly, before letting it slip away. He took a step back, turning and walking to the door of the room. His head turned slightly, looking to her once, before stepping out and closing the door.
'And that was the beginning. Yet.. I still found no way to really make her happy'.
"Sage.. was she a close friend of yours"? Ciel whispered, pulling the guardian back from the past.
His eyes opened, looking over to the blonde a few feet away from him. His hands went to his sides, quickly looking away, clearing his throat.
"I knew her well..yes.. I won't lie".
Ciel was not expecting to hear such a quick simple confession. Her eyes widened, looking down, a smile forming. Her eyes were still glassy from her tears,legs curled up in a feminine fashion.
"I see.. Well knowing how you are Sage.. I do not think you made her feel uncomfortable. I am..relieved to know she had somene like you to stand by if she ever needed help".
Silence passed through the air again, before words were found.
"I will always protect Neo Arcadia and all that do not go against Master X's wishes. I still cannot understand why you would continue your foolish ways of going against him. It will do no good. I am sure you of all people should know that. But then again.. You do seem to be one of those dreamer's who will go through life still trying till they pass away. Am I right"?
The sweet blonde sighed heavily, looking over to him with a sad yet determined expression.
"Its not foolish.. If I am a dreamer then.. I will make sure that dream will come true. Because its not just my dream. Its all of ours. Everyone who I stay with! And you nor that copy of X will ever be able to take that away. All I need to know.. to continue on with my dreams..is that. the real X would want this as well. And if he was here... None of this would be happening! Cause he would stop it all"! Ciel quickly looked away, holding back more tears that threatened to fall.
The guardian peered over at her, still leaning against the wall.
"Enough of your tears Ciel. They will not help you.. and they won't help what is meant to happen". He looked away, hearing her whimpering and sniffles. Seeing a human in such pain tore at him. He didn't like it very much at all. But there was nothing he could so about it. This was Master X's choice. Not his.
For the rest of the while, Sage watched over the young scientist, seeing her eyes closed. From her soft breathing and gentle movements, it was obvious she was in a light sleep. He said nothing, staying where he was. His eyes closed once again, to return to his thoughts. To return to Brina.
'I still wonder if I could have helped her. Was she ever truly happy?... after what happened? I know..she told me I did help her. But I feel as if I didn't do enough. I couldn't protect her, though I said I always would. I could not save her.'
He turned slightly, letting out a sigh.
But I will find a way to keep Cammy safe. Its the only thing I can do for Brina now. I just wish I could have done more. Please forgive me'.
Figuring he would go check around for a moment. Harpuia turned, letting the door open,walking out to go make sure everything else was working in proper order. He was sure Master X would not mind, since she was sleeping. And he would come right back as soon as possible.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The reploids of the Resistance Base ran through the halls in a panic. Screams of pain, fear, anger, and sadness rang out in every direction. Footsteps were heard from a distant silent hallway.
Fefnir, threw open every door that he passed by, looking for the small child. He just needed to get the little runt and get out of here. Unfortunately for him as he realized... He had to leave as soon as he found the girl. There would be no fighting for him today, which irritated him to no end.
'Cursed orders. I always get the dumb jobs. I am not a babysitter.'
Fefnir threw another door open, looking in, seeing a young female reploid. She was seemingly trying to hide, but let out a small scream of suprise, seeing him come in. He shook his head, taking a step toward her. She hid behind one of the beds, shaking. Her eyes were wide with fear seeing him come closer.
"Well now.. what do we have here? Are we one of the brighter one that reside here in this base, girly"? he moved his hand down yanking her up in a quick swift motion. The female reploid cried out once more, looking down, biting her lip. She mumbled lightly, tugging.
"Please...Please don't hurt me. I.. I..I just.." she continued, though the rest of her words were barely audible.
Fefnir tapped his foot still holding her wrist and let out a long dreaded sigh.
"You know miss.. if I weren't on a mission to get something, you wouldn't be so lucky. But of course, I would run and hide if I were you. I dont think the others will be as kind." he let go of her wrist and pushed her gently away, before going back out of the room and heading toward a different hallway.
Taking the lift he went down a floor and was suprised by what he saw. A janitor mopping up the floor,looking very irritated. The fairly old reploid mumbled and grumbled, mopping up more water that leaked all over the floor.
"darn kids these days..back in my day, kids weren't allowed to go around in soldiers uniform. They all think they are so smart. I could see past that crazy disguise".
Fefnir smirked hearing all the words the man was muttering to himself. Instead of going up and aiming at him, threatening to kill him. He would try a different more loose approach.
Reaching the reploid, he continued hearing the muttering. Fefnir grinned more walking past him, seeing his head down, busy working and complaining.
"yes..kids these days are such a pain aren't they...sir"? he called out, finally stopping and turning his head somewhat. It was amazing how some of the reploids here did not know about the attack that was above them and quickly moving down. But in that case he needed to hurry.
Just as he hoped, the janitor kept his head down and chuckled, not looking to see who it was that was talking.
"oh yeah, buddy. They just run past you..knock you over and say sorry for making such a mess. But..do they offer to clean it? No! I worry for them when they get to be teenagers".
The red guardian just continued smirking, while looking back at him.
"Oh well of course.Such a lazy generation. I would most definately make them come back and clean it all up. You, my good man, should not have to waste your life away cleaning such a terrible mess that you did not make. Especially if you catch them in the act".
The janitor chuckled again, holding the mop and leaning back against the wall, still not facing Fefnir.
"yes, yes. I agree. They should have to come here and clean it up. But.. I can't go get them now. I mean I saw them run off, talking about saving the world and some nonsense. But what are you gonna do? I can't get them. I am to old to play tag with these youngsters."
This seemed like the perfect chance for Fefnir to offer his...assistance. Clearing his throat and putting one hand to his side,he looked over at the reploid.
"Well sir.. I could always bring them back here and make them clean it all up. I just need to know where they went".
The old janitor lifted up his mop from the floor, giving a smile, though Fefnir could not see.
"Oh thank you, young man. We need more people like you. People like you could change the world".
Fefnir seemed a bit shocked by those words, chuckling and tapping his foot.
"Well, what can I say? I just like things to be fair..."
"Yes, very true. Well so do I young man. Well I won't keep you. And if you really were going to bring them back here. The youngsters... they ..eh.. they went outside. Still babbling on about saving the world. So you might find them around out there somewhere. Although they should all know better then to be outside. It's very dangerous for little squirts like them. Don't you agree, young man"?
It was silent for a few moments, Fefnir twitching and clenching his fists.
"What is this?..hide and seek?.. that little-" He quickly snapped out of his train of thought,taking a step back preparing to leave.
"Very true..You know they could get hurt..and you know..make my life miserable cause I will be the one getting in trouble.. and.. ugh..never mind! I will find those little kids and bring them right back"! He glared, dashing forward and going back up to the top, shouting orders to his men to continue with the attack. It was such a shame he didn't get to participate in on it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The attack of course did continue, ranging from Fefnir's specialized group and the Pantheons. Shortly after Fefnir had left, the assault had gone through the entire base. Some members had managed to get to a safe area inside the base, where none had really thought to look. The rest, were either killed, or had found another place to hide.
The resistance members had tried fighting when it had first started. It just seemed hopeless without Zero and Ciel here. They had not seen either of them. Where had they gone to? Did something happen?
One resistance soldier looked over to the other, holding his gun close to his chest, a shaken expression on his face.
"man..is this really the end now?Why are Zero and miss Ciel missing? You don't think..something has happened..do you"? he muttered with somewhat of a shaky voice.
The other looked over and lowered his eyes, hearing Pantheons walk by.He bit his lip and tried to stay perfectly still.
"I..I don't know. But don't you find it strange that they are both gone when the attack started. Maybe something did happen. And Neo Arcadia knew about it. So they decided to attack. X knew Miss Ciel was here... And now that she is gone... There is nothing stopping them. And come to mention it.. that new human girl.. I didn't see her either".
There were no words after that. Just the sounds of screaming coming from above. They all felt to ashamed to say anything more. Here they were listening to the ones they fought with scream in pain. It was agonizing. They all pretty much felt like cowards. But what would Ciel and Zero come back to if they didn't stay here? They would all be killed if they tried to help. But talking it over in their minds still made them feel no better. They felt hopeless and helpless.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Back in Neo Arcadia,down the halls and into a more secluded area. Leviathan resided in her quarters alone.Sitting on her bed, she stared out at the sky, observing all of which was Master X's. Her hand went to her forehead, tightning her grip.
"Why is Master X being so cruel? I never ask for anything. I always do whatever he asks. But just this once. Just this one time... I ask for something and everyone turns me down." her voice was low, holding so much pain.
"I..I don't want to fight anymore. I want to take care of her. I wanted nothing more. I never got to hold a child in my arms.And when I held Cammy. It was such a wonderful feeling. Nothing I could ever explain through words."
Leviathan sighed heavily, pushing herself back, stretching out over her bed. Her eyes traveled over to the Capsule. She remembered that thing used to be in the middle of her room. But as time passed, When she met Cammy.. she wanted the bed in the middle. She wanted to sleep in the bed like a human would all the time. But the effects were beginning to show. Although a reploid could last a few days and function normally with a bed to sleep in, they also occasionaly needed to take to the capsule.
Before all of this, Leviathan had actually preferred to stay in the capsule. It didn't bother her. But now... she didn't want to be near it. She did not want to touch it.
The blue guardians eyes closed, but quickly snapped open, hearing her door slide open. She didn't bother to turn to see who it was.
"Go away, Fefnir..Leave me alone. Haven't you already gotten your way? Why do you want to rub it in my face."?
When she didn't hear anything, she turned quickly ready to throw the nearest object at him that she could find. Since she could not find anything else, Leviathan picked up her pillow, hurling it forward and staring straight ahead.
"Fefnir! Are you deaf? Why don't you just go to-" she stopped short seeing the pillow hit the person in the face. There was a little huff of unhappiness from behind the pillow as it finally fell to the floor.
Leviathan's eyes widened and quickly bowed her head, still sitting on the bed.
"M-Master X? I.. I am so sorry. I t-thought it was Fefnir. And as you already know, I am not getting along with him very well right now".
The somewhat irritated copy of X, nodded, before picking up the pillow and tossing it back on the bed. He stayed where he was for a moment, before walking to the side of Leviathan, staring down at her.
"hmm I noticed. But Leviathan.. you must understand that I too have noticed that you are not staying on top of your duties. You spend all of your time with the girl. And I somewhat understand. Humans at the young of an age are rather cute. But... you have to take some time to do your job properly. If I am not mistaken, I do believe Sage was also caring for the little one. And yet..he still finds time to do his duties."
The room felt very empty, till a calm breeze blew through the open window hitting Leviathans face. She smiled slightly, looking down still.
"Master X.. I understand that. But you see..nobody else really has time. Phantom.. he is never around.. he is always out and about doing something of importance I suppose. And Fefnir.. I don't..I don't want him taking care of Cammy anyways. Sage is, like you said, always very very busy. More so then the rest of us. And you ..Master X.. I know you are far to busy to watch her, since you are making sure Neo Arcadia is.. well you know". Her eyes closed, seeing the face of Cammy pass by. It made her shiver a bit, curling up.
Copy X put one hand to his chin and smirked.
I find this to be very strange, Leviathan. I have never before seen this side of you. I don't know whether it is a good thing..or bad.. But in any case... Have you ever asked me to watch her"?
Once again silence reigned through the room. The breeze still continued to blow in, making Leviathan feel at ease.
"Well..No.. But that's because I was just-"
"Leviathan..."
"And I was just scared cause I thought you might be-
"Leviathan.."
"You might of been busy and I didn't want to bother you and-
"Leviathan"!
The blue guardian let out a small squeak, bowing her head down again. Biting her lip, she waited to hear what he had to say. She heard him sigh heavily and then clear his throat.
"As I was trying to say.. I am willing to give you one more chance. I had.. well I am having someone bring her back from the Resistance Base. But I expect you to keep up with what you are doing, understood"?
Leviathan couldn't hide the smile and joy she felt well up in her. Her arms stretched out , hugging him quickly.
"Oh thank you, Master X! I p-promise to do everything I am supposed to. You have made me so happy.I c-can't explain it. Thank you, thank you so much"! She looked over to the window as she hugged him, before closing her eyes, a rush of happiness going over her. She would be with Cammy again very soon. And that was all she wanted.
It was of course, a very strange moment for Copy X. He put his hands up slightly from suprise, chuckling a little. He waited till she was done hugging him, before stepping back.
"Yes, yes.. Now remember what I told you. I am only giving you one warning. I hope you understand that."
He waited, just seeing her nod again.
"Very good. Well from now on.. a little hint of advice for you.. Make sure you know who it is, before tossing a pillow at them, alright"? he crossed his arms, seeing his guardian nod again. Smirking a little, he turned, heading for the door to leave.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Outside of the walls of Levi's room,a silent figure stood by her door, listening to every word. He smiled and looked down, before walking down the hall, looking back once.
"Very good Leviathan.. you now have one wish that came true. And as for your other... Let the child cry for you..and maybe one day...you will be able to as well. Because..so many things can happen..When you dream..." Sage smiled and continued his walk down the hall, heading back to the lower area's of Neo Arcadia to watch Ciel once more. And perhaps..those memories of Brina would finally tell him what to do one day.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
