Toya and Anemone rushed along with everyone back to the battle ships. They were under attack from the remaining rebels of Santo Modesto. Just thinking the name of the city made Anemone uneasy, especially after what she had seen. She looked ahead at Toya at this thought. He had been such a kind and nice person, how could he have been that cruel? How did he change so damn suddenly in less than a night?
Her thoughts were interrupted when she collided with someone. She fell to the ground to look up at a man she had never seen before in military uniform. He looked down at her and smirked. "You're coming with us girlie!" He said loudly and grabbed Anemone by the hair while another man grabbed her legs. "LET GO OF ME! GET YOUR FILTHY DAMN HANDS OFF ME" Anemone yelled. It happened so fast that she didn't even know what had happened.
One second the two men were grabbing her and dragging her away screaming, and the next the man holding her legs had fallen to the ground lifeless. The other man had released her and tried to draw his weapon, only to fall to the same force that had killed the first. Blood sprayed from his head wound as he fell to his knees next to Anemone. She looked over at him and noticed he was looking back, the last emotion of horror still etched on his face as his eyes dulled to lifeless gray orbs.
"Anemone! There is no time to just stay here and goof around" Came Toya's voice and the reloading of a gun following after it. Anemone looked up to see Toya turning away from her and walking towards the hanger bay. It was a precaution, but it seemed that moving his LFO to the hanger bay had been the right thing to do. He turned back towards Anemone to see her standing still, her eyes wide in shock towards him.
"What? They were the enemy….Now get a move on!" Toya nearly yelled at her. It brought Anemone out of her state of shock and made her glare at him. She quickly walked up to him and slapped her hand right across his face. For a moment, the world seemed to stand still as the two of them stayed in their positions. Toya slowly tilted his head towards Anemone and raised his hand to touch the spot that she had hit. Before he could even utter a word, she had stormed off towards the Battleships and to its hanger.
Toya stayed like that, until he remembered where he was going. He turned into the hanger and practically raced himself into its cockpit. He jumped in and shut the cockpit door behind him as he kicked it. "Miriku wake up! We got a job to do" Toya yelled, his hand raised to the nerve sensor ring above him. He heard the familiar grinding of the gears and felt the tightening of the ring around his hands. After the entire black ring had covered his body, leaving the black suit, he charged for the hanger door. Once near it, he was about to open it when it was dented by the impact of something hitting it.
He decided that just opening it wouldn't help much so instead he pulled his blade from its sheath at the side of his LFO and cut right through the door. He charged through the door and decided to assess the situation. It seemed that the body that had hit the hanger door was in fact a rebel LFO, with its body nearly ripped asunder by the looks of the claw marks. Toya smirked to himself and looked out into the sky.
He could see the gun and laser fire from the rebel and military LFOs. He nodded to himself and took the board from the downed LFO beside him. He dashed forward and jumped atop it, taking nearly no time to jet into the air. When he was airborne, he already knew he had it coming. A few gun blasts and some missiles barely missed him as he zoomed farther and farther into the sky.
Through the eyes of his LFO, he looked over the battlefield and shook his head. Three of the five carriers were destroyed, and it seemed that the guests that were running out of the building were starting to be fired on. He couldn't have that now could he? Just as fast as he had zoomed into the air, he made a dive for where the LFOs that were attacking the civilians were. They noticed him before he was near enough to attack and launched a barrage of gunshots at him.
He yielded the board upwards so that it blocked most of the shots, making them ricochet off of it. A few scraped the arm of his LFO which sent a jolt straight through his body. He gripped the board harder and pulled it around in a short arc. The bullets had not yet stopped and continued to scrape the LFO. A few stray bullets scrapped across the face of his LFO before he finally did what he was planning. With all his strength behind it, he launched the board like it was a boomerang right at the rebel LFOs. One of them managed to jump out of the way in time, while the other was ripped in half when the board sliced through its mid-section, causing it to explode.
The explosion and debris shot in all direction and knocked the other LFO even further away. Before it could regain its footing, Toya's LFO punched its hand through its head and ripped it off. He looked over towards the escaping crowd and nodded to himself. They looked like they would be just fine now, so time to get back to the fight above. But that's when it hit him, how exactly was he going to get back up there now that the board he was using was smashed.
He was mid-way through thinking when he saw in the corner of his eye something glowing and pointed in his direction. That glow looked so familiar to him, but where had he seen it before? His eyes widened as he turned and started to run from the light. Now he remembered where he had seen that light before. It was the light of a particle cannon being charged to fire. He looked over his shoulder and right into the glare of the cannon being fired. It cut right through the trees behind him as it headed his way.
There was just no way that he was going to be able to outrun the particle beam aimed at him, so he turned slowly to stare right at it. Yet right when it seemed that he was going to be hit, he was tackled out of the way at the right second by a red and white blur. He looked over to see none other than that of the Nirvash, standing tall over him. "Uhhh…. Thanks?" Toya muttered to himself, earning him a giggle from behind him.
"Oh so now you show up? What the hell have you been doing" Toya snapped, looking over his shoulder at Miriku. "Well…. I was visiting a few different dimensions…. And reading a few things on you humans" She said nonchalantly. Toya growled and turned back to face the Nirvash as he got to his feet. He saw the cockpit of the Nirvash open and saw a figure stand out of it. He thought of his brother and did the same, stepping out of the cockpit of his LFO.
He smiled softly as he looked over to the Nirvash, expecting to see his brother smiling back at him. Yet, all he received was the sound of a gun being cocked and blue hair. The words slowly left his mouth as his eyes widened. "E-Eureka? Wha- What are you doing?". "Doing what I was told to do, which was to kill you" Eureka said softly, her eyes fixed on Toya and her face emotionless. Before he could utter another word, he heard the sound like that of thunder and felt a sharp pain in his arm.
He looked over at his left arm and noticed the hole and the crimson blood flowing freely from it. He quickly jumped back into his LFO and shut the cockpit. So many things didn't make sense at that moment. If she wanted him dead, then why did she save him from the particle cannon? And why did she miss when she was only at that distance? Every time he tried to move it, his left arm sent an intense jolt of electricity through his body.
He quickly turned to run from the Nirvash, knowing that Eureka would probably try to kill him if he stuck around. As he turned to run, he heard the clicking of her cockpit closing, making him run even harder to put more distance between them both. He took in his surroundings and checked around to see where he could hide, but found near to nothing. The only thing that even remotely looked like he could hide in it was a cave, wait that's it! If he ducked into the cave, then he would be able to lose her in the darkness, that's if he got deep enough.
He heard a shot go off and then the sound of it scraping against metal. His skin burned where the bullet had hit and all doubts of running into that cave disappeared. He bolted there with his LFO as fast as he could, ignoring the constant gunshots and the burns of the bullets that managed to hit. But he was so close; he only needed to run for no more than a few more seconds before he reached the cave. But in those few seconds, something that was fatal happened.
Caught in the mud, his left foot gave out and he fell hard against the ground. It was over, he was going to die! He turned around and stared face to face with the barrel of the Nirvash's gun. "The chase and the game are over Toya" Came Eureka's voice from her LFO's loudspeaker. Lightning flashed in the background and illuminated the Nirvash and the barrel of the gun, but it also illuminated something that not even Toya had seen before.
And by the time Eureka was ready to shoot, one of the battleships that had been trailing fire and smoking, made a crash landing behind her. She turned quickly as it skidded across the ground, knocking both the Nirvash and the Demon into the cave before exploding itself. Said explosion caused the two LFOs to fly even deeper into the dark cave and caused a landslide that managed to seal the exit of the cave. Well he had made it into the cave, but with the addition of the Nirvash laying beside him, face to the floor and the gun laying away from it.
Wait, The GUN! Just as quick as he could, he hoisted his LFO up and tried to make his way toward the weapon. But, he discovered something at that moment; the explosion must have damaged his LFO because the power went out. He dropped back to the ground to lay next to the Nirvash, both of their eyes staring right into the other. Toya groaned as he pulled himself from the connection and made his way to the cockpit, hopefully the LFO still had enough power to open the door, and lucky him it did. As soon as it was open, he dragged himself out of his LFO and looked around, only to see the cockpit of Eureka's LFO opening.
He cursed his luck and quickly got down from his LFO, making sure to close the door to make it appear as though he was still inside. But as soon as he saw her get out, he came out of hiding. She was struggling just to get out, and he guessed that her left arm was either broken or just sprained because she was only moving her right. He quickly but cautiously made his way over to her, making sure to keep his eyes on her good arm. He thought maybe he could get to her before she could even notice him,that was a bad choice. With the reflexes of an injured cat, Eureka whirled around to look right into his eyes, if he were superstitious, right into his soul.
She looked over towards the head of her LFO and noticed that the gun had fallen out and now layed beside it. Eye contacted broken, she charged as fast as she could for the gun, but Toya wasn't just going to stand there and let her get it first! Since he was uninjured, he had no problem running and grabbing the gun, just as Eureka herself reached a hand out for it. When she looked up, she was looking down the exact same barrel that Toya had looked down earlier.
"Ironic isn't it Eureka" Toya said coldly, the lightning outside giving a thunderous boom as Eureka looked up at him. He had the gun and she was his hostage, but now what was he to do now that they were stuck in a cave?
