Hello guys, here's a new chapter that I just finished. My exams are almost done which means I'll be able to concentrate more on this story, which is why I can't wait for it to be over.

Anyways take care and I'll see you next time !


2B was running along with her Yorha comrades, their pods had detected a unusual source of energy being recently released within the city ruins. The commander had told them to investigate these strange signals, she knew that the commander white was stressed by these recent events which is why she had volunteered to be in charge of this operation. There were only three of them currently walking in the city while many squadron were in their aircraft heading towards where they currently were going. For some reasons 2B was having flashbacks of Erebus again, every time she saw his twisted smile she couldn't help but to feel disgusted by him. While 2B wasn't the vengeful type she knew a part of her wanted to make him suffer just like he had done to her. Because of that monster she was mentally unstable for days, she couldn't even close her eyes without fearing for her life which made her feel more pathetic for thinking that way. These memories of him torturing her made 2B sick to her stomach, just like every machine he was responsible for their fate. And for that she would make him pay even if it's the last thing she would ever do.

''Hey ma'am, were you listening to what me and 11B just said?'' A scanner known as 4S said while running behind the white haired android, 2B turned her head around and give him a nonchalant look before looking back towards her.

''What's her problem? She's been acting weird for days now...'' A black haired women known as 11B said with a irritated voice while running beside 4S who only gave her a shrouds of his shoulder's. 2B honestly didn't care about what they were saying, the only thing that was currently on her mind was Erebus.

''Tsk, i bet if her little pet scanner was by her side she wouldn't be acting this way. It wouldn't surprise me if he got bored of her and decided to jump off a building.'' 11B said while snickering towards 4S who looked at her with wide eyes through his blindfold, but unfortunately for her 2B heard the remark and suddenly stop running which they did the same. 2B turned around and slowly walked up to 11B face which caused her to scowl at the white haired android who was merely inches away from her face.

''What...did you just say?'' 2B asked dangerously while glaring at 11B who still hadn't back down from her.

''You heard me well, it's because of your stuck up attitude that he's de-'' 11B words were interrupted by 2B fist connecting to her face which made her fall on the ground, 2B savagely grabbed her clothes before lifting her off the ground and got in her face.

''Say it again, I dare you to do so.'' 2B coldly said at black haired women while looking deep into her eyes but just as 11B was about to respond 4S positioned himself between them and separated the two women with his arm.

''Please stop fighting! The commander is counting on us to carry this mission out, as we speak there's a horde of machines coming towards the city. So instead of attacking each other's we should rather focus our attention on them.'' 4S exclaimed while looking at the two Yorha soldiers with pleading eyes who kept glaring at each other's, 2B looked down at him before looking back up to 11B who was dusting herself while muttering a curse under her breath. 2B knew it wasn't like her to lose control of herself so easily but the fact that she had the audacity to insult 9S while he still wasn't here didn't set well with her.

''Yeah whatever, let our captain lead the way.'' 11B motioned with her hand while speaking in a mocking manner which didn't go unnoticed by 2B who kept glaring at her before walking away from the duo.

''Recommendation: unit 2B should refrain herself from assaulting others yorha units in the future.'' 2B's pod said while hovering over her head, however he didn't get a response from her owner due to her ignoring him and kept silent while following behind.

4S watched her captain walking away from them before looking back towards 11B who had her arms crossed while looking at the ground, if he hadn't separated them when he did things could have gone wrong for all of them. They were at war against the machine life forms, the last thing they needed was for them to start killing each other's.

''Ma'am, why would you say something like that and especially to her...do you have something against 2B?'' 4S asked while eyeing the black haired women suspiciously however she still kept looking at her feet. The black haired women frowned as she looked up to the scanner who was awaiting for a response, 11B knew that she had crossed the line by saying these things however a part of her didn't feel guilty about what just happened. Deciding there wasn't anything more to talk about 11B started to walk towards their destination without looking back.

4S tilted his head while raising an eyebrow at her odd behaviour, he didn't know what made her say these words however there was something she wasn't telling him but he decided to not pry any further and quickly followed behind them while running a hand through his hair.


The sounds of swords colliding against each other's could be heard all over the streets of the city. A2 was starting to feel tired, she kept blocking and evading every hit that came towards her for quite a while now. The truth was that she didn't know how much longer she would last, this guy was unnaturally strong for a machine furthermore the wound that she managed to land of him had almost finished regenerating on it's own. But what was even more absurd was that he barely looked tired, A2 form started to falter as he kept striking her with more precise yet harder hits which made her start to feel despair. A feeling that she absolutely loathed with every fiber of her being, A2 grunted as she jumped back while avoiding Erebus kick but as her feet touched the ground he instantly reappeared behind her which she instinctively reacted by turning her body around to block his sword but the amount of raw force behind that hit was able to make her lose balance and send her flying towards the ground.

Erebus slightly panted while planting his greatsword into the ground, never he would've thought that a woman like her would be able to bring him so much excitement. While her swordsmanship was below his level, it was still anything but to take lightly. Erebus reached a hand towards his black blindfold covering his eye ripped it from his face. He looked at his reflection through his greasword in the ground and saw no traces of any injuries at his left eye which made him wonder why did he had a blindfold in the first place but perhaps the wound had already healed, Erebus looked back towards A2 who still hadn't move from from her spot.

''Get up...get up woman, or else I'll make you.'' he sternly ordered while taking back his sword from the ground and placed it on his shoulder. After some moments of silence Erebus squinted his eyes before walking towards A2 who still had her face buried into the ground, having enough of her silence he placed his foot under her stomach and used it to rotate her body and began looking at her appearance closer. She was bleeding from everywhere and especially from her face but he also noted that her body was barely covered by her black clothes or rather what's left of it, there was also something unnatural about her skin. It didn't look like humans skin which deeply confused him, he couldn't help to think that maybe this woman wasn't human but rather another android. Erebus had seen many kinds of being such as dragon, elves, faeries and many more but never had he seen androids up until recently. Sure they were apparently created by humans but that didn't explain why his kind would want to create an entire race of androids just to preserve them. He hadn't meet a single human since he awoken and that made him question where exactly were they.

After reflecting of what he knew Erebus looked down at the white haired women who still hadn't move and couldn't help to be be captivated by her stunning figure, he didn't know how but her body curves were truly captivating his eyes without him barely noticing. While her face was covered in blood that didn't deny the fact that under it all she had an attractive face which he couldn't help but to stare. Erebus had to admit that she was a beautiful woman however something wasn't right about her but he unfortunately couldn't tell what. He blankly kept looking at the white haired women face until a sword suddenly appeared from golden particles in her hand before quickly coming near his neck, Erebus eyes widened as he avoided her blade coming near his throat by jumping back.

A2 used her sword to support herself while getting up from the ground, her body kept screaming in agony from all the wounds she suffered however she ignored the pain. She refused to admit defeat to a machine or to anyone regardless of who they were. A2 had made a promise to herself...to her fallen friends, that she would fight until the very end no matter how badly damaged her body was. This may be her very last battle and she was going to give it her all. A2 still had one final card up her sleeve.

Her berserker mode

She started to focus the energy of her black box through her whole body until she was engulfed in a red glowing energy. Dread started to take over Erebus's body as he slowly stepped back, never had he seen something like that but what perturbed him the most was that there wasn't a single source of magic coming from her. So many questions began to plague his mind as he tried to figure out what was going on, A2 glared at him as some of her hair shadowed her face. Never would she have thought that her berserker mode might be the only possible way to kill him.

A2 knew exactly how dangerous it could be for her to use the berserker mode as a Yorha prototype however it didn't matter to her anymore because she had nothing to lose and she was willing to take the risk if it meant to kill this machine once and for all, it didn't matter anymore if she couldn't get answers out of him. If this battle could possibly mean the smallest progress in this forsaken war then it was worth it, it had to be worth it. A2 smiled at herself before slowly lowering her head towards the ground, after moments of silence Erebus tilted his head and began wondering why she hadn't moved from her spot yet. Maybe she had given up, if someone had told him that one day he'll meet a woman like her, he would probably have laughed at their face.

Slowly Erebus lifted his arm and began forming a red orb from his palm. Surprisingly this woman was the first decent challenge that he had faced since he had awoken from his slumber which made him quite disappointed that it had to come to an end so quickly. ''You should feel proud of yourself women, not many people can fight me like you did.'' Erebus said in his usual cold voice as his hand dangerously glowed red while aiming it at A2. However just as he was about to finish her off, a rush of wind suddenly came towards his face which caused him to lower his hand as red lightning erupted from the white haired women.

Erebus slowly lowered his sword while being absolutely stupified by what was currently happening at the moment, never would he have thought that she was hiding something this powerful from him. While being distracted by her form Erebus didn't even paid attention to A2 as she began walking towards him, for some reason her impassive expression that she had earlier was replaced by absolute hatred which made him grip his sword even harder then before.

Just as he was about to make the first move A2 suddenly appeared in front of him with her sword at her hand, Erebus eyes slowly widened before instantly bringing his sword towards her neck but to his surprise she dodged his strike with ease. Erebus kept gritting his teeth while trying to cut her from every angle possible but his efforts were useless as she kept evading every hit that came towards her. Erebus glared at her while noticing that she hadn't even tried to strike him back, to think that someone like her could suddenly become this powerful made him question who exactly this woman was. Having enough of being mocked by her Erebus gripped his Beastlord with two hands and went for powerful swing of his sword aimed at her head, A2 saw the sword coming her way and lazily parried it by moving her sword towards his and followed with a cut at his wrists. Erebus yelled in pain as he dropped his sword to the ground. A2 sword vanished into golden particles before crossing her arms without any emotions visible on her face. Erebus glared at her while going for a left hook at her face but was shocked to see his hand went through some sort of illusion of hers,'How is this possible?!' Erebus mentally screamed before hearing someone whispering close to him.

''...Behind you'' A2 calmly whispered in his ears while standing behind him, this caused Erebus to be startled before instantly turning his body around while delivering a right hook towards her face but to his frustration she once again evaded his punch.

''Stop fucking around and fight me woman!'' Erebus snarled at her face while trying to hit her, however A2 seemed to be unfazed by his anger and kept evading and blocked every hit. He didn't understand how it could be even possible to be this fast but just because this woman got stronger and faster didn't mean he was going to be humiliated by her.

Having enough of his futile attempts A2 countered his upcoming punch with a violent elbow hitting him across his face which made him stumble back. Unknown to her at that moment something inside her broke, A2 yelled as she let her anger take all over her body and started to repeatedly hit him across his face from left to right. Erebus tried to bring his arm up to cover his face but A2 didn't let him the chance to defend himself by following a kick to his hips which made him cried out in pain before instantly clenching his side, but as he did that she took that opportunity to instantly resume punching his faces. Her assault continued for what felt like hours until she decided to stop, Erebus body wobbled before he composed himself and tried to punch her again in a desperate attempt to hit her one last time but to his dismay A2 blocked his punch with her forearm which caused her to slightly hiss under her breath before quickly following with a direct punch at his stomach while he was exposed. Erebus desperately gasped for air as he fell to his knees. All of these years and grief and frustration that A2 had been forced to painfully endure were slowly getting out of her system.

''Not feeling so powerful now are we?'' A2 mockingly said while looking down at him, she was honestly expecting for him to reply back but to her surprise he kept clenching his stomach while being bend over on his knees. But unknown to her Erebus was shaking with rage beneath the white haired woman gaze, not so long ago he was dominating her and now here he was on his knees clenching his stomach with his arms, shame slowly took over him at the sudden realisation.

After some moments Erebus lifted his head, he awaited for another strike while he was vulnerable but was surprised to see her staring down at him with coldness in her eyes, after some moments of both staring at each other's A2 decided to end this fight while she still had the strength by lifting her arm and summoned her sword in her hand before quickly bringing down her blade towards his head. Erebus smirked as he instinctively reached for his smaller sword at his waist before quickly deflecting her strike which caused her to instantly drop her sword to the ground. Surprise could be seen in her eyes while realising she'd just been disarmed. However A2 wasn't going to give him the chance to fight back, wasting no time she delivered a kick towards his head while he still was standing on his knees but to her dismay he caught her leg under his arm before letting go of his sword fall to the ground and rapidly got up while still holding her leg. This made A2 stumble back for a bit, as she was about to punch him Erebus grabbed her throat by using his other free hand and lifted her body slightly off the ground before rotating his body and slammed her brutally into the ground.

A2 eyes bulged out of her socket as her body slammed onto the ground with force however she failed to notice that while being was stunned on the ground Erebus pressed his body weight on hers so that she wouldn't be able to escape. After some moments A2 came back to her senses before looking towards him and was slightly frightened by what she could describe to be the scariest glare she'd ever seen.

''Get off me you bastard!'' A2 snarled at him but got no answer from him. She savagely started punching his face from left to right but to her dismay he didn't seemed to be affected by her hits anymore. Having enough of white haired women beneath him punching his face repeatedly Erebus caught her left wrist and brutally hit her across her face, this caused A2 to froze before looking back towards him with a shocked expression visible on her bruised face. As she was about to hit him back Erebus grabbed her throat and began choking her, A2 hands instinctively reached for his arms as she tried to desperately remove them from her neck but it seemed to have no effect as he pressed harder on her neck, she could feel her berserker mode slowly draining away from her body. 'I should've killed him when i had the chance.' A2 meekly voiced in her head before letting her arms fall to the side, this where she would die. In a deserted road at the hands of a...monster, A2 felt pathetic that she couldn't even win this fight while being in her berserker mode. And on top of that she let her guard drop down at the very last moment, the white haired women looked towards Erebus for the last time and was surprised to see his usual twisted smirk replaced by a hard scowl, she wondered why he wasn't smirking. Wasn't this how he wanted things to end? But maybe that was exactly the problem.

Perhaps he didn't want to end things this way.

A small smile appeared on her lips as she slowly closed her eyes, Ironically A2 may not have won this fight but she had won this battle by not giving him the satisfaction of killing her how he attended to. A2 could now rejoice at the thought of joining her deceased friends, everything around her suddenly started to become quiet as her vision started to fade which meant that was close to dying...or so she thought when the pressure on her neck suddenly vanished. A2 slowly opened her eyes and was shocked to see Erebus standing up from her body and looking ahead of him, confusion began taking over her mind as she wondered why had he suddenly stopped strangling her? However her thoughts were abruptly stopped when she heard the voice of someone that sounded familiar to her.

''Erebus!'' A feminine voice said not so far from A2 which caused her to turn her head to the left and was was shocked to see someone that she wouldn't never thought seeing in a place like this.


2B couldn't believe that she was seeing, that heartless monster was standing above someone while choking them to death which caused her to remember what he had done to her long ago. She had waited for this moment for weeks now and she wouldn't let this opportunity to take her revenge slip between her hands. Having enough of watching him torturing whoever it was 2B decided to summon her spear in her hand and threw it towards Erebus while he was still distracted by her presence, but to her frustration he dodged it by jumping above it before landing on his feet.

''You know, it's quite rude to interrupt someone without letting your presence known. However It would seems like you still haven't learned your lesson since the last time we fought...But that's okay since I also missed our last meeting.'' Erebus said while smirking towards the white haired women and her two other companions, never would he have thought that she would have the courage to show herself since what he's done to her before.

''I don't think you quite understand the situation, i'm going to kill you for what you've done to us. Because of you, I nearly killed one of my own.'' 2B coldly said while glaring at him. She didn't know why she was so obsessed on hunting him down, it's not like she even had a plan to begin with but that didn't mean she would just sit back and watch him killing her own kind.

''I'm so sorry to hear that.'' Erebus sarcastically said while faking a hurt expression on his face, however this caused 2B to grit her teeth at after hearing this.

''You can shove your apo-''

''Woman...i was being sarcastic. I genuinely don't care about your miserable life.'' Erebus interrupted her while rubbing his temple, he wondered just how hopeless can this woman possibly be?

''You fu-'' 2B was about to lounge at him until she felt a pair of arms on her waist restraining her, she turned around and saw 11B holding her with a worried expression followed by 4S just behind her.

''Please control yourself 2B! I know what he has done to you but we've got to be smart about this or else we're all gonna get butchered!'' 11B shouted from behind 2B which made her pause. It was true, she had let her anger take over without even thinking about the consequences which made her feel ashamed of herself. But before 2B could lament herself further she saw 4S placing a hand on her shoulder while shaking his head before making his way past her. She wondered why would he want to go against him, he was a scanner model which meant that he wasn't the best suited for combat but before she could voice her opinion 4S began speaking towards Erebus.

''So you're the machine everyone keeps talking about...you've made quite the talk around the resistance camps and the bunker, but what exactly is your objective besides killing us?'' 4S eyeing with with a calculating gaze however unknown to all of them he was secretly revealing his position through his blindfold for the other Yorha squadron come at their location.

''Listen kid, you should probably run because as you can see things are about to get ugly and also because I don't feel like killing a child.'' Erebus said while inspecting the short Black haired Yorha soldier, sure he liked killing anyone who opposed him however he wasn't that far gone to start killing children.

''...I'm not a kid but it wouldn't surprise me that a machine wouldn't know the difference.'' 4S said with an irritated voice as he was visibly upset of being called a kid by a machine.

''Are all of you Yorha soldiers blind? Once again I'm a human but it doesn't matter for now, my only concern is that woman over there so get lost.'' Erebus said while pointing at 2B who was still being hold back by 11B.

''Don't you lie to us! You're not a human, you're a machine who was created to kill them without any mercy!'' 4S shouted at his face, he couldn't believe what this machine just said as if they were going to simply believe him. However after hearing this 2B was having a hard time to not call him out on his lies, humans were long gone which means that he's obliviously lying.

''Oh did I hurt your little feelings?'' Erebus smirked while placing a hand on his chest.

After some moments of silence 4S gritted his teeth before summoning his sword while glaring at Erebus, but before charging in he turned his head back towards his two superiors and motioned them to come by his side which they reluctantly did.

''How are we going to fight him?'' 11B worryingly asked while also summoning her sword.

''None of you are going to fight him, this fight is mine.'' 2B said while stepping in front of both of them. This caused them look at each other's before voicing their thoughts.

''Ma'am with all due respect this isn't a wise decision, don't you remember what he's done to you bef-'' 4S exclaimed however his words were interrupted by 2B glaring at him, after some moments of silence she looked back towards her.

''Don't worry I haven't forgotten however this is my fight, you just stand aside and try to get pass his programs while 11B you go and find the resistance members that are nearby and tell them we'll need all the help that we can get.'' 2B sternly ordered without looking back at them. After hearing this 11B couldn't help but to be baffled by 2B proposition before quickly standing in front of her.

''Are you fucking insane?! This is probably the most dangerous machine that any of us within Yorha has ever faced in years and you're asking us to just split up?'' 11B yelled at the white haired android face while having a hard time believing that she'd just heard.

''Don't you think I'm already aware of that? Do i also need to remind you that I wasn't the only one he fought in that forest? There were also other Yorha units, including some resistance members with us but that didn't change the fact that he almost slaughtered us all. But if you're so full of yourself to think that the three of us would even stand a chance against him then go on ahead and get yourself killed.'' 2B coldly replied back at her as her eyes remained on Erebus, it wasn't in her habits to speak to her comrades like this but she was starting to get sick and tired of these two always questioning her decision as a captain.

11B wanted to protest once again but she decided to held herself back. She had to face the reality of the situation, just because they were Yorha soldiers didn't mean that they could take him on easily. After some more reflection 11B took a deep breath and started running towards the opposite direction of where they came.

''Don't die until I come back okay?'' 11B said without looking back, things were starting to get dangerous which is why she needed to know that they could both handle this one their own.

''I won't die, besides 4S will be right behind me if things go wrong'' 2B said while motioning with her head at the black haired scanner who nodded right back at her. After seeing this 11B nodded and continued to sprint down towards the road without wasting any time.

''Oh, I don't think so.'' Erebus said while frowning before firing a red blast towards 11B who was oblivious to what was happening behind her as she kept running ahead of her.

''Pod activate shield!'' 2B shouted as her pod quickly flew between Erebus blast and 11B before blocking the blast with a transparent shield. This caused Erebus to glare at 2B with hatred however she didn't seemed effected by his glare and kept smirking towards him, if he wanted to play that game then so be it.

Erebus looked around for both of his sword and reappeared in front of them and picked them both, 2B was slightly shocked at what she had just seen. It almost like he suddenly vanished from existence before suddenly reappearing at a different spot.'is this some sort of teleportation?' She thought while inspecting him, however 4S was also having a hard time believing what he had seen. There were no reports of machines being able to teleport but maybe they were evolving way faster then they anticipated with each passing day. After inspecting his swords Erebus placed back his smaller sword back into in his sheath and placed it at his waist and took his Beastlord in his hand before sinisterly smiling at the Yorha duo which made them slightly scared before regaining their stance's, Erebus had been waiting for this moment for quite a while and now it was time to some fun with with them.

''Come and show me just how weak and fragile you are once again...2B'' Erebus mockingly said while taunted her with his finger, not even a moment after he just said these words 2B sword suddenly came in crashing against his. Erebus eyes slightly widened before looking towards her face and was pleased to see her looking at him with anger and hatred which is exactly what he wanted to see. 'This is going to be fun.' He thought while smirking.
