Chapter 9- Ultimate Weapon or God?

Chise landed firm on the ground, her cold eyes staring at the priests. Studying them, she saw that many were missing an arm, leg, or both. Flying back up, Chise aimed her array gun at the monks. Energy spiraled around the opening, as a yellow ball formed in the barrel moving towards the bore of the gun. The priests, with legs, scattered trying to get away. Changing her target, Chise fired up towards the mountain. Huge rocks tumbled to the ground, dirt and dust flew up into the air. Creating a huge dust cloud, that hid the mountain form view.

"Chise!" Ehlen looked at her, happy to see that she came to find him. One of the priests saw this grabbing him by the arm, hurting him.

"You! You know this god?! The Angel of Death!?" He asked in pure horror. "The gods of the mountain-had spoken of her!"

"You're wrong!" Ehlen panicked, "Chise isn't the Angel of Death! She's the one and only Halvalla Anguard!"

"Halvalla- What?!" He growled "Ha! I've never heard of this being."

"The Other World Angel!" He growled, the priest let go as she approached them, "Chise is a good person, I know it!"

Chise watched the priest run off; lowering down to Ehlen's size, she smiled. Checking him over, her eyes were not as cold and the machine and cords returned inside of her body. Her clothes were completely torn, showing a lot of skin. "Are you hurt?" She asked as the other villagers came up to her.

"No, I'm fine thanks to you." Ehlen grinned as the others nodded, but the adults did not seem too pleased. They looked at her with cold glares, filled with disbelief and anger. Chise ignored them, keeping her attention on the small children, who both were very grateful. "Why did you decide to save me? I just want to know, not that I'm not grateful."

"Ehlen, I want to help you. Even though we just met not to long ago, I feel that I have to protect you." Chise put a hand on his forehead sliding his hair back out of his eyes. "I feel very protective of you. Ehlen I don't want anything to happen."

The small boy nodded, Chise returned the smile placing her hand on his head. She stood up looking at the adults, "What? Are you people mad? What's wrong with you people, Do you want to die for a mountain?!"

Ehlen saw that Chise was hurt, but could not figure out why. Her eyebrow twitched every so often as sweat rolled down her face. He looked at what was left of her white shirt, since she let him keep the jacket; blood was starting to show above her chest. Face full of anger she spat, "I surely wouldn't risk my life for a damn mountain. Yet . . ."she pulled a cross from her pocket that was on a silver chain, "if people only have faith to cling on to, because you have nothing else might be okay. All the sins in my world were put on me. I allowed and caused them, so the world had no background, no people, and no image."

The others looked at her when the older man spoke up, "You mean you destroyed your world?"

"No, I decided that the world was actually worth saving." Chise realized that she might be able to return home, "but it won't be the same. Now I understand, everyone sins but some repent for what they have done." She mingled in her thoughts, "Is there even anybody alive, back at home?"

They did not say anything, watching the young woman look down towards the ground. Ehlen grabbed her hand; she turned to look at him. Chise saw a young boy, who was full of life and hope. His face was blank looking up at her, "Do you like it here?"

"Yea, but I think this world could change. To make it a better place." She sighed, glancing up at the mountain looking at the damage she had caused. "But I don't think I'm suited for this world."

"What? Why?" Ehlen asked, with a hint of worry in his voice.

"Ehlen, I'm dangerous. I could obliterate a town here in the matter of minutes. I am a weapon." Chise turned back down in distraction, "If I wanted to, I can probably even take your king off his throne, but I won't try it is not mine to take."

The boy nodded at her statement. The villagers were walking back to the village. Chise sneered in disgust; she knew that some were upset. She just could not comprehend their religion, and why they would follow its cruel ways. Looking towards the mountain again, Chise heard foul noises. Coming from a distance, eerie hisses echoed in the air. In front of her, the cloaked creatures appeared. She backed off, keeping Ehlen behind her.

"A foolish girl," One uttered, "for you to come to our lair."

Chise growled, "You caught me off guard last time. This time I won't let you best me so easily!" She drew her sword, waiting patiently. The Ra'zac watched her under its hood; slowly one of them drew its sword. Walking forward, weapon pointed towards the ground. "More or less, I'm pretty much screwed... I don't know how to wield this thing!"

Standing her ground, Chise refused to budge. She watched her opponent carefully, "I have to be careful, but why don't I just use my weapon? It would be easier..." Thinking on it, she turned to Ehlen, "I want you all to run, run as fast as you possibly can, ok? I'm probably going to kill these things."

He nodded, following the other villagers away from the base of the mountain. Turning back towards the Ra'zac, Chise sheathed her sword. Her body was glowing a foul white color as the center of her eyes turned a solid darker red. One of the creatures backed down, leaving the scene, as the other stayed weapon drawn. As Ehlen was running, he turned back to see a small explosion near Helgrind. Chise was floating above the Ra'zac array gun pointing at it. Her wings were spread far apart. Fear struck her, since Chise has had no experience fighting with a sword or these creatures.

Moving slightly, the monster was coming towards her. Its speed quickened, sword pointed at Chise. Flying up, she evaded as the Ra'zac just barely missed her. Reaching out of arm length, she pointed the weapon towards the enemy. Energy formed in the barrel of the gun, slowly coming towards the end. Firing, the energy slammed into the ground right on the Ra'zac. Landing she drew her sword, watching to see if the Ra'zac was still alive.

Out of the dust, she could not really see anything, but her senses could tell there was something there.

As the dust finally cleared, high above her the Ra'zac was flying away on another creature. She watched the bird-like thing get farther away from her. Chise stared in silence, "Damn… It got away." She growled, "What are those things?" Walking back towards Dras-Leona, the sky started to darken. Flashes streaked a crossed the sky, lighting the black clouds. A few minutes later, the rain started to fall. It was slow and steady, but gradually began to pour.

Quietly, Chise walked in the rain as it soaked her clothes. Her eyes were dull, as she was lost in thought. "It's true; I am a threat to this world. I cannot believe this. . . . it's like I'm not in this world, but it's only a dream. I only wish." She looked up towards the sky, as the rain splashed across her face. Tears formed in the corners of her eyes, "I feel as if I'm not the same anymore. Back at home, I was the Ultimate Weapon and here I'm a god."

She was heading east, when she noticed something in the sky. It was high above her, but Chise knew that it was not a hawk or bird. Flying up, she noticed that it was the blue dragon. Ignoring it, she decided to fly back to the town instead of walking. Landing in front of the town's gate, Chise walked back in. Her mind was unsettled; she had no idea on what she was going to do. "Can I really trust the empire?"
