Hey what's up ? So I know I haven't uploaded in a while since Christmas but these days I don't have much time with school and all that stuff BUT I'm definitely going to continue this story I'm nowhere done it it, it's just that I'm not gonna be able to upload more than once a week for the time being anyway enjoy and review !
Amelia and 21H have been walking for quite some time now, they were told that there was a yorha soldier waiting for them at the depths of the forest. That was great for Amelia after all, she needed for data to collect on the machines life form and some additional help wouldn't hurt to have.
Amelia was feeling quite happy, it was a good day to be out in the forest. Not many other resistance members took the time to appreciate nature like she did. She read some books about how humans took the time to study the plants and animals that lived in forest, it must have been fun to walk around in the forest back when humans were on earth.
Amelia then turned to 21H who still hasn't said a word for some reasons.'what is she thinking right now ?' Amelia thought while inspecting her friend's behaviour.
''21H are you with me or not ?''Amelia said while walking next to her friend.
21H turned to her with an unreadable expression before sighing. ''Yeah it's just that I'm thinking about that weird explosion that has been reported by some members of the resistance camp''21H said while looking at the ground.
''And what about it ?''Amelia said while lifting a brown.
''It's just that i have a really bad feeling about this, the machine have been evolving so rapidly that I'm afraid we are gonna meet something that we won't be able to defeat.'' 21H said while looking at her.
''You shouldn't be worri-''Amelia words were cut by a bright red explosion in the sky ahead of them.
Amelia and 21H looked at each other before looking back and the explosion, 21H had no idea of what to do. She just couldn't understand what was going on in this forest. There were on two of them against an unknown enemy however she then had a idea, 21H turned to Amelia with serious expression on her face.
''Amelia we are not the only androids here right ? You said before that there were many other resistance members that came here to collect data. So there must be camps in this forest correct ?'' 21H said while looking at Amelia with the same serious expression that she had earlier.
It took Amelia some time to process what her friend just implied before answering back.
''Yeah it's true but where are you going with this ?'' Amelia asked with uncertainty.
''Because we are going to need all the help that we can get if we hope to stand a chance against what's waiting for us ahead'' 21H said while placed a hand on Amelia shoulder.
Amelia just looked at her for some time, she was right after all. They were going to need help if they wanted to survive this.
''Ok let's go, I know the way'' Amelia said while smiling at her.
21H nodded at her while smiling before making their way towards some other resistance members nearby.
Erebus was feeling quite amused, it's been so long since he had to take anything seriously and he had to thank the women before him for that.
Erebus looked at her with a smirk and 2B got frustrated by that. She was getting tired of his game, he's just playing with her. She hated the fact that she couldn't really do anything against him.
2B barely had time to react when he suddenly appeared in front of her and dodged his punch by moving her head to the left, she then tried to punch him repeatedly but Erebus kept dodging the hits.'It's almost like if he can see my movements before i can make them' 2B thought while trying to punch him.
She then delivered a kick to his head but Erebus caught it with his hand, he then used his leg to knock her off her feet and make her fall to the ground. Erebus brought his foot up and sent it down to her throat, 2B was starting to struggle breathing.
she desersperatly tried to remove his foot from her neck but he kept pressing hard, 2B looked at him and saw him smirking and that was enough to send shivers down to her spine.'he is enjoying this ?' She thought while looking at him in the eyes.
2B looked around her while keeping both of her hands on his feet, she needed to get out of this situation and fast however something caught her eyes on her left. Next to him on the ground, It looked like a sharp piece of glass. She then used her one of her arms to reach it while keeping her other hand on his foot, she kept trying to reach it until she had it in her hands.
Erebus wasn't even really paying attention on what she was doing, he was to busy enjoying this moment. He was about to press harder in her throat her he suddenly felt something sharp has been planted in his leg.
''AARGH'' Erebus yelled while removing his foot from 2B neck.
2B took the opportunity to get back on her feet while keeping a hand on her neck,'that was close' 2B thought while inspecting her neck with her hands.
She then turned her head behind and saw his leg bleeding were the sharp object was planted. She saw Erebus placing his hand where she had stabbed him and took the object out of his skin by force. Erebus inspected the object before throwing it away in the river. What 2B saw after that made her froze.
Erebus was inspecting his leg while bleeding, however 2B looked at his leg and saw that his leg has suddenly stopped bleeding. The wound have closed on its own and the blood was now gone.'Did his leg just heal on its own?!' 2B thought while looking at him with wide eyes.
Erebus then slowly looked back at her and 2B saw that was was not smiling, he gave her the scariest glare she's ever seen. 2B took some couple steps back and before she knew it he had appeared in front of her, then a punch connected to her face sending her flying back. She slowly got to her feet and was about to take her stance but was only met by a kick to her stomach sending her crashing through a tree, 2B lifted her head only to see him in front of her with an hateful expression.
Erebus then punched her repeatedly, 2B could only brought her arms up to defend herself but that wasn't enough to ease the pain she felt before 2B collapsed on the ground once more, he then placed a hand on her neck and lifted her up to his level before sending 2B on the floor and kicked the side of her abdomen with force which made her grunt. She was bleeding from everywhere, she was not strong enough to take him on. She had been naïve to think otherwise, 2B was wondering if this was the end for her, if he was just going to kill her here and there. Little did she know that Erebus had another thing in mind first.
While 2B was laying on the floor Erebus went back to where he impaled his sword and took it in his hands then made his way back to 2B, she weakly lifted her head at him and Erebus couldn't help but to make a disturbing smile but before 2B could even think about it she felt a painful sensation in her hand.
''AAAAH!!'' 2B screamed as she saw that Erebus had planted his sword in her left hand. She looked at her hand with a mortified expression and Erebus couldn't help but to laugh at her.
2B felt never felt that scared in her life and she felt completely at his mercy, she couldn't believe that's how she would die, at the hands of a psychotic machine life form. She then saw him going back to where he took his sword and searched the ground before picking up another sword, it was her sword.
Before she could say anything he appeared before her and looked down at her body. 2B was trying to move but her body wouldn't respond to her, Erebus then inspected the blade before looking at her with a smirk before crouching down at her.
''Why are you doing th-AAARGH!'' 2B words were cut by Erebus stabbing her other hand on the ground.
Both of her hands were now pinned on the ground by each swords. 2B was in so much pain, she didn't know how long she could endure this torture. She slowly started to lost consciousness on the ground, Erebus looked down on her with a sinister smile before kicking her on the back. He enjoyed seeing her in pain and he's gonna make it last as much as he could.
Erebus was feeling more then satisfied with himself, he remembered back in the days were he used to go on adventure killing people or creatures, he suddenly remembered a certain dragon that he used to be familiar with him. Now that he thinks about it he hasn't felt any dragon presence since he has awoken from that pod, the only people that he saw were those two women at the forest and the one on the ground before him.
He was feeling quite uneasy about this, this world felt so empty compare to what he was used to.'I really need to find those twins after but I don't know where to start searching, they could be anywhere...' Erebus thought while looking at the sky.
While he was lost in his thoughts 2B slowly opened her eyes and saw that she was still pinned to the ground and she couldn't really do anything about it. She wished that 9S was there, he surely would have a plan like he always did. 2B wished that she was more open to 9S but she kept ignoring him at every chance that she got and now she really regretted her actions towards him.
Erebus came out of his thought and looked down on 2B, she still tried to move even though her body wouldn't allow it. She lifted her head and saw that he had his hand open directed at her and that his hand was glowing red, 2B then closed her eyes and waited for her finals moment to come. Erebus saw that she closed her eyes and smirked down at her.
''This is goodb-'' Erebus was interrupted by something that very quickly flew past him.
''Over here asshole !'' A voice said to his left, he turned his head and saw multiple people circling him.
Erebus looked at the people that surrounded him and was able to recognise the two women that he saw earlier in the forest, he looked around him and saw that there was four people that was surrounding him.
The other two had the same clothes except one of them.'are they also part of an order?' Erebus thought while inspecting them.
''Hands up you bastard!!'' One of them yelled, Erebus saw that she was a woman who was wearing a cape.
''21H look, it's a yorha soldier over there on the ground!'' Amelia said while pointing at 2B who hadn't move in a while.
''She's in a horrible condition, we need to treat her now. She's bleeding from everywhere!'' 21H said aloud for everyone to hear.
Erebus looked at everyone of them and saw that two of them were pointing their guns at him while the two other had draw their sword. He looked at the two who pointed their guns at him with a glare.
''Do you want me to put a bullet in your head ? She said hands up NOW!!'' The new voice said to his right. She had some sort of mask that covered her mouth.
Erebus inspected his surroundings before slowly raising his hands up. He was going to humour them for now and wait for the right moment to strike.
''Now move from the yorha soldier slowly or else I'll shoot you!'' The women with a cape said while pointing her gun at him, Erebus slowly stepped back before he was no longer over 2B.
21H and Amelia quickly rushed to 2B side and crouched, 21H checked to see if she was still alive and by some miracles she was. Amelia was besides 21H to help her treat the injured yorha soldier.
''Hey can you hear me, My name is 21H and don't worry I will treat your wounds'' 21H said while trying to remove both of the swords that was pinning 2B on the ground.
2B heard some voices and opened her eyes and saw two people crouching besides her, one of them was a yorha soldier like her and the other was wearing the resistance camp emblem on her clothes. But before she could think the one with white hair placed her hand behind her head and slowly lifted it.
''W-who are you ?'' 2B weakly asked her before looking at her body that was badly damaged.
''I'm 21H and like I said I'm here to help you'' she said while smiling at 2B.
''And I'm her friend Amelia.'' The voice said before 2B turned her head to the left and took a good look at the one who said that. She had red hair with dark blue clothes on her.
2B couldn't believe that she was still alive, if it wasn't for them she would already be dead by now. She nodded her head at them before closing her eyes while both of them healed her.
Erebus was watching them interact with an unreadable expression, for some reasons watching them talking to her reminded him of a piece of his past but before he could try to look more into it he was interrupted by the two women who pointed their guns at him.
''Who the hell are you ?!'' The android with the red cape asked him.
Erebus heard her and decided once again to not bother answering them.
''My friend just asked you a question so answer us, are you a machine, did the aliens created you?!!'' The women with the mask yelled while keeping her gun pointed at him.
They both looked at Erebus waiting for an answer but he just kept staring at the both of them with a emotionless face, and that was enough to make them angry. The android with the cape slowly approached him while keeping her gun pointed at him.
She then got in front of him and tried to knock him out by hitting him with the back of her assault gun but Erebus quickly reacted by grabbing it with one hand and used his free hand to put her on chock hold while taking the guns out of her hands. He quickly then made her body spin around so that her back was exposed to him and her front was facing her friend while keeping his arm wrapped around her neck and pointed the gun at the women with the mask before she could even fire.
''Damn it let her go you bastard!!'' The one with the bandana said while struggling to point her gun at him due to her friend body blocking the way.
Amelia looked up and couldn't believe what she saw, that machine had one of the resistance members in hostage while pointing the gun at the other one.
2B opened her eyes and lifted her head from 21 lap and was shock to see that he had the upper hand over them.
''We need to contact command, and ask for backup now !'' 2B said while looking at Erebus, 21H seemed to be panicking before understanding what 2B said. She nodded her head at 2B before turning back to face her pod.
''Pod contact command and ask for reinforcements, we don't have much time !'' 21H said to her pod.
Erebus heard what she said and decided what to do, he couldn't take the risk for more of those people to come here. While Erebus held the android in hostage he quickly inspected her clothes to see some sort of knife that was attached to her left leg.
Erebus quickly took it out behind the android he had in hostage and threw it at the android with the mask before them who was still pointing her gun at them, she barely had to time to react when the knife went through her hand and ding in her skin.
''ARGHH'' the android with the mask yelled before dropping her weapon and looked down at her hand trying take the knife out of her hand. After she managed to pull it out, she looked back at Erebus and her friend but what she saw petrified her. Blood dripped down from her friend stomach.
Erebus was quite surprised when he saw what just happened, unfortunately for her when she dropped her gun to the ground after being stabbed in her hand, the gun rifle fired a shock directly at them, Erebus had reacted instinctively while positioning himself right behind his hostage and pushed her towards him so that she would shield him right before the gun touched the ground and it worked.
She had taken the bullet while he didn't, Erebus couldn't help but to smirk at the android who he had just stabbed. He then saw her looking at him with petrified face and couldn't help but to chuckle wickedly at her while keeping his gun pointed at her. The women with the mask dropped to her knees as she started to sob.
''N-no I didn't m-mean to shoot at y-you, i-I'm s'-sorry!'' the android on her knees said while looking her her friend as she started to cry.
Erebus then let go of the women with a cape and pushed her forward with a kick and she dropped to the ground while bleeding to death. He let go of the gun and went to pick up his sword, Erebus made his way towards the women on her knees while he kept his sword in his hand. When she saw that he was coming towards her, she began backing away while still crying and fell on her back as he slowly approached her.
''Time for you to die'' Erebus whispered coldly to her while slowly raising his sword to finish her off. However just as he was about to give the final blow his sword was blocked by someone, Erebus looked at his left and saw it was one of the women he first saw in the forest with red hair. Her named was Amelia if he didn't mistaken however when he looked at her face he saw hatred and grief in her eyes. While they kept their swords locked on one each other Amelia turned her head to her friend who was still in the ground too shocked to move.
''Take your friend and take her to nearby camp NOW, My pod will assist you now go I got this !!'' Amelia practically yelled at her friends on the floor before she came to her senses and took her bleeding friend from the ground and started to run towards the camp with her pod behind them. Once Amelia saw them leave she turned her head back to Erebus who still was blocking her sword.
''You Bastard, I swear I'll make you pay for what you've done to them !'' Amelia yelled in front of him however the only response she was met was a fist that punched her in the face before she took some distance between them, she looked at him with a murderous glare however Erebus didn't look affected at all. Erebus looked at her in the eyes and smirked before making a moving motion with his finger to taunt which Amelia felt for it. She charged at Erebus with her sword between both of her hands ready to kill this machine that harmed her friends.
Erebus saw what was coming and lazily moved to the side while dodging her hit, when Amelia went past him she rotated her body to him and went for a direct strike to which Erebus parried her hit. She then started to put more pressure on him by striking him from every angle however Erebus kept parrying each strike that was coming at him, Amelia then gripped her sword in both of her hands and went for a direct cut while running at him and made her sword come down at him but once again he dodged to the side however she knew he would dodge so right after he dodge Amelia crouched and while spinning her leg to swipe him off his feet but to her surprise, Erebus jumped above her and landed behind her.
She instantly got back on up on her feet but before Amelia could do anything she felt a hand on her shoulder that forcefully made her body turned around however she barely had react when she saw him bringing his knees to her face with a brutal impact that made her lose grip of her sword and fell on the ground violently. Amelia tried to get back up but Erebus had placed his foot on her face and began crushing her head, she tried to remove his foot but he stomped on her face repeatedly which made her lose her grip on his foot.
2B and 21H watched in horror what they've just witnessed. He just had beaten Amelia without even trying. 21H was to shocked to even do anything, just what were they even supposed to do ?.
2B was horrified to see what that monster had done to her fellow android, he was to strong for any of them. She didn't know what to do, it was a matter of time before he killed all of them.
Erebus turned his head back and saw the look upon their faces and smirked when he saw the fear on their faces, it was a feeling that he could never get enough. He turned his head down and looked at the women on the ground beneath him and saw that she was staring to lose consciousness, he didn't want the fun to end so quickly so he began lifting his sword and was ready to stab her in the stomach. Erebus saw the horrified face that she was was making and titled his head with a grin, Erebus then placed the tip of his sword on the top of her stomach and lifted before bringing it down on her. He heard the pleading of both women behind him and ignored them however just his sword was about to pierce her abdomen, he heard some weird noise in the sky and then a lot of footsteps behind him while also hearing someone yelling at him.
''Drop your sword machine and come with us, you are under arrest by Yorha. If you refuse then we'll be under obligation to kill you, do you understand ?!''
