If one was to examine a rifle someone was carrying they would probably say something about the model, the craftsmanship, ammunition it could carry.
None of that would be relevant as she smashed a monster over the head with one, breaking it in the process. She ran out of ammo when she was fighting a group of monsters and that was the last one left.
'I still need to figure out what's going on.' Rei took a second to incinerate a random monster. 'These monsters are a bit stronger than your normal fare as well.'
To her own surprise she was doing rather well against them. Though, 'well' depends on how much you think about it. Consuming a lot of S.P and using up all your ammo, plus breaking the gun counts… kind of.
She would try to fire off another basic spell, but a small sizzle came out of her hand, indicating she ran out of mana. And there were still monsters surrounding her…
She clutched onto her heart, a large amount of fear clearly residing inside it. She had no weapons and was out of magic. What could she do? Was this the end of the line?
She suddenly felt as though she was hit by a truck and was sent flying into the air. She landed roughly on the ground, a trail of dirt indicated that she was pulling parts of the ground with her. The creature that sent her flying was one of those giant turtle thing. It now towered over her.
It made a growl unlike a turtle and used its claws to grab ahold of one of her legs and lifted her bruised body up by it. In a quick motion it opened its mouth and bit the leg it was holding.
If one were to look at Rei's emotion for a second, one didn't need an explanation as she let out a scream, feeling the turtle quickly nibble to the bone that was in her leg. This was the end of the line for her… this couldn't just be a normal prison day, could it?
She blocked out the world around her. Her thoughts were the only things that she could feel and hear in her inner mind.
'It had to happen sooner or later.' She thought, 'I mean I'm an enemy to the public, they'll probably rejoice once they find my body.'
She could feel her own heart make a beat, 'What was wrong with Purple Heart? She wasn't like that when we last fought.'
Her heart beated a bit faster, 'She said something about despair..? She doesn't know anything about despair! That bitch didn't have a nation fail!'
It would appear that her inner thoughts still housed the 'crazy version' of herself. The self that manifested in her CPU form. Sure she technically didn't have a nation in this dimension, but having memories implanted into from another counterpart is jarring, to say the least. She's quelled it down over the years, but a thought or two escaped here and there.
Her heart beated even faster and a small realization occurred, 'Why am I so adamant on giving up? I fought the CPUs before and gave it my all, even if I was a little power hungry… and tried to destroy the world…'
A little faster, 'And.. here I am.. losing to a bunch of monsters...and being eaten by one. I guess I want to live.'
Her heartbeat increased at an alarming rate, 'My enemies spared me, showed me mercy… They allowed me to live. And all I want to do is die?' She still had things to do, one of them finding out what's wrong the Planeptune CPU.
Indeed her heart couldn't beat any faster as she came back to reality, the turtle still nibbling on her leg. It would appear that she was ignoring the pain. Monsters still surrounded her as well.
"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die!"
Rei lifted her upper body up to the leg eating turtle's head. Her hands grabbed onto the mouth of the turtle and forced it open.
"You-" Using her newfound strength she forced the mouth to spread further than intended, she could hear an almost satisfactory crunch as the turtle dropped her. Not out of instinct or fear, but due to the fact that it suddenly filed a divorce with life.
She ignored the pain that was her partially eaten leg and got up on her feet. She had an obvious limp as she lurched forward.. yep there were still monsters surrounding her.
"You'll all be the ones to die!" In a fuel of rage she lifted each of her hands in front of her. Small spheres of darkness appearing on her hands.
She slowly brought her hands together, merging the tiny spheres of darkness, "Black Hole Cluster!"
As the name suggested a black hole appeared along Rei's hands, sucking in everything around her. Monsters were quickly sucked into the black hole, along with the ground and the trees. After a few seconds of the monster and everything in the general vicinity being sucked it, Rei simply made it stop.
What was once a road and a forest was now just a giant hole of dirt. Rei shook her head and came to her senses. What just happened? Did she go crazy again? She didn't transform, that much she could tell… no that was of her own doing she can't convince herself otherwise. After all she just created a black hole and made it stop.
She didn't have any more time to think of anything else as the pain of her partly eaten leg caught up to her. She's pretty sure that she was losing a lot of blood and the fact that her vision was quickly fading our kind of strengthened that fact.
Hopefully this was all just a dream and she would wake up in her cell. Hopefully. Truthfully, no.
