Chapter 12:Intertwine
Fefnir, Chrono, and Alana looked at Athena hoping she will be awake. Then they heard something Fefnir got his fire buster as he was ready to attack. What he saw was the vine reploid female along with the wind reploid female and Aile.
"AILE! You are ok? Though why are you here?" asked Fefnir. Aile looked at the black armor reploid.
"He brought me here," said Aile, "Though he wanted to be out but cannot." Chrono and Alana looked at Aile.
"How can he even speak to you if you are out here suga," said Alana. Aile looked at Alana.
"He speak to me through my head. I can hear his voice in there. Black Knight, wanted to take his vengeance at Vern," said Aile.
"Black Knight? The black knight," said Chrono. Aile looked at Chrono and nodded. Chrono looked at Aile.
"Suga, stay away from him. He is going to kill you if you are not too careful," said Alana as she was ready her gun.
"Alana. He is trapped remember. We cannot harm him in that orb. However he can find a way to free himself," said Chrono.
"He can't. Vern told us that the only way that Black Knight will ever be free is if someone loved him and he loved that person back," said Aile.
"Then it is impossible for him to leave then. Then again. There might be a reason Black Knight brought you here. Only Chrono and I know this place Suga," said Alana.
"I am not sure about it either but I know that he kept calling both of you pests," said Aile.
"Heh! He must not like company however it is not the entire reason he brought you here," said Chrono.
"It must deal with the powerful energy signature he sensed and want it to be destroyed," said Priestess.
"Powerful energy signature?" asked Chrono and Alana. Aile walked up to Athena as she put her hands on the data that is encircling her. The data flow out of her went to Aile and then went to Black Knight. Athena fell to the ground as well as Aile. Fefnir looked at the two as he do not know what happened.
"What is going on?" asked Chrono to Priestess. Priestess sighed as she looked at Chrono and Alana.
"Remember when you talked to me telepathy. Aile and Black Knight are the same of that category," said Priestess as she revert to her regular form. Alana and Chrono looked at the pink hair reploid.
"Oh yeah, but that shadow devil fella is really nasty to be with as well," said Alana. Chrono sighed.
"Shadow Devil is the same way. All of you can speak through me as I can hear all of you," said Priestess.
"True. She was the only one who can hear us as we use her as a vessel to come out since we are trapped in a time orb that was her two bells," said Chrono.
"I have my bells but they are not as big and they are in a different location," said Priestess.
"So Aile is the vessel while Black Knight gave her power to use for the time being. Then why is she out cold now," said Alana. Priestess looked at Black Knight and found data streams circle inside the orb.
"I may not know but this is odd," said Priestess. Meanwhile… Aile was back into the room where Black Knight was at. She saw him as he looked at Aile.
"What do you want now?" asked Black Knight. Aile looked at Black Knight as he turned to Athena who stood there nothing. He picked up his sword and tried to attack Athena. Athena had every element protecting her. Athena looked at Black Knight as she sighed.
"I remember you. You were that reploid who killed Sigma and people looked at you as their savior," said Athena. Black Knight looked at her.
"Savior. Bah! I was meant for war," said Black Knight as Athena looked at Black Knight.
"Heh! Most reploids may think that at that time but we were build more than that. We were build to be an image like a human," said Athena.
"Humans, bah they are weak they need protection all the time," said Black Knight as Aile felt offended.
"HEY, I am human here. I would watch what you are saying," said Aile. Black Knight looked at Aile.
"Heh! You may be the first human I encounter that would stand up against me," said Black Knight.
"Humans have the potential like a reploid have just they could not carry more than one weapon while we could carry more than one," said Athena, "However, those times have been gone. We are looking at peace once again."
"What is the use of peace? That never really happened. People always will bicker and fight," said Black Knight as Athena's data shows him peace. Black Knight looked around her memories even saw her raising her daughter. He stepped back and pulled his weapon out.
"I won't be tricked witch," said Black Knight to Athena. Athena sighed as she looked at Black Knight.
"I am not a witch. I am a reploid goddess," said Athena. Black Knight looked at Athena and stood there shocked.
"When you find your partner you want to be with then not only your heart will be open but you will be open to that person," said Athena as she left. Aile looked at Athena as she left. Aile turned back to Black Knight who stood there motionless. Vern's voice can be heard as Aile was being attacked Black Knight went to her and saved her from that attack. The force field had covered them both as Black Knight looked at Aile. Aile looked like she is shaken up.
"You are pathetic. Listening to the words of a-" said Vern as Black Knight interrupted him with a shockwave.
"Heh! I am tired being your weapon of war. From the beginning you have been used me since you created me. You trapped me because you want me to be your blade of destruction. Until know I understand what the world around me really is. I am not your blade anymore. You I will kill and when I do. You will be the one seeing death," said Black Knight. He turned to Aile who is still shaken.
"I see how it is. You have not learned anything well then you will take the punishment," said Vern as he got Black Knight and hurt him. Aile saw this and fired at Vern. Vern turned around and saw Aile with her laser gun.
"You hurt my sister, you hurt my friends, and now you hurt him. I am going to take back the pain you gave them and bring forth the light that the darkness you gave them," said Aile. Black Knight looked at Aile as she fired again at Vern.
"You still did not receive my punishment but you will soon," said Vern as Black Knight attacked randomly as he tried to kill Vern. Vern looked and saw death in Black Knights eyes. Vern smiled.
"Aw. Pooh! I have to go. I still have to find Athena and show her that I am all hers," said Vern as he left. Aile ran up to Black Knight as he looked at her.
"Thank you for showing me what I supposed to do not what I was doing all this time," said Black Knight, "Your memories and data showed me what you have been fighting for and I saw how strong you are compare to me."
"Black Knight I…" said Aile as she felt horrible. Black Knight looked at Aile with a smile.
"In here this area years can go by while in the outside it is merely few seconds. Aile, the time you spent here it was mere few hours in your world. It has been years here we talked and try to get an understanding. But we are more intertwined in many ways. If anything you started to show me what values I have miss and why I am stuck here. The goddess reploid did show that there can be peace if I looked for it. I want that peace now. I want that peace and see you happy," said Black Knight. Aile looked at the reploid and saw something she started to have but did not say anything.
"Black Knight," said Aile as he looked at her with a smile. She only looked at Black Knight.
"There is a time when we will meet again Aile. Maybe when Vern is gone for good and I can see you in person," said Black Knight as Aile woken up. She shot up as she looked around. Fefnir, Alouette, Priestess, Chrono, and Alana were waiting for Athena to get up as Fefnir holding her in his lap.
"We need to get out of here," said Aile. Fefnir, Alouette, Priestess, Chrono, and Alana looked at Aile.
"Why what happened?" asked Chrono as Aile showed the screen what happened. Sigma lead an army and the group of Rhea were fighting hard to stop all the signals from happening. The major ones were in Cephalic Space Colony, Adromeda Space Colony, Zeus Space Colony, Orion Space Colony, Corona Space Colony, Aura Space Colony, Orbit Space Colony and Earth. The final signal also hit the Moon but it is fainted.
"What too many signals we are going to be lost in sea of signals," said Fefnir as he looked at Athena.
"Not only that but Vern will find us. He is coming," said Aile. The others looked at Aile as she turned to the shadow. Chrono barrier the group as Fefnir took off with Athena and Alana.
"You think that will save you Chrono," said Vern as he appeared. Priestess revert herself to the bionic suit as Aile looked at Black Knight.
"Black Knight please help us get us out of here," said Aile as a portal open taking Priestess, Alouette, and Aile to another place. Chrono smiled as she looked at the portal as it closed.
"The others will stop you," said Chrono as the two are now trapped in a fight. Meanwhile… Aile looked at Black Knight in a different area again.
"Come back whenever you can. I know the world is endanger. I will give you my powers to help you. If you find a way to get me out, please tell me," said Black Knight as Aile looked tearful.
"Thank you Black Knight I will come back with hope to get you out," said Aile. Black Knight looked at Aile.
"We are intertwined by fate. Let us see what fate has given both of us," said Black Knight as Aile vision is back to the surrounding where she saw everything that is floating. Alouette looked at Aile who is floating.
"We are at Zeus Space Colony. Everything is ant gravitational. The air is also thin so we have to be careful," said Alouette. Aile felt the air was thin and use Black Knights power to survive as she transformed into a black armor.
"If we find Alana and Fefnir, we can find Athena as well," said Priestess. Aile smiled as she looked at the other two.
"I know how to find them. I use Black Knight's abilities," said Aile as she did and start taking off.
"Hey sis wait for me," said Alouette. Priestess followed the two as they ran into mavericks. Soon they found an underground cave where the gravity was normal. The group fought out several mavericks until they ran into Alana, Fefnir, and Athena.
"Huh? This is odd I never seen an armor like that," said Fefnir as he held his gun. Aile looked at Fefnir.
"Whoah it is me Aile. I am using Black Knight's armor that is all," said Aile. Fefnir looked at Aile.
"Well Suga, you look good as a female knight. But Athena hasn't woken up yet," said Alana. Aile touched her head as Athena started to move.
"Wha? Where am I?" asked Athena as she shot up thinking that Vern have her as she looked at Alana.
"Suga you are safe. We are at Orion Space Colony," said Alana as Athena was about to pull her weapon and saw Fefnir's face smiling at her.
"I am glad you are ok," said Fefnir. Athena open her arms and hugged Fefnir as she started to cry.
"I thought that man would have taken me away from you," said Athena as she is in tears. Fefnir looked at Alana and the others.
"It will be a matter of time when Vern will find us. If we kept moving and foil his virus plans we may stop him for good," said Aile. Athena nodded as Fefnir sweep her off and carried her. The group start leaving hoping to find out the signal of the virus and stop it.
