Chapter 16: Zeus Anger
Thor had never left Cassandra's side as he saw her in life support. Athena did not understand as he kept telling Athena and Priestess he will not leave a moment. Corona Space Colony had all of Orion's colonist now become Corona. Most people were glad of that but now the worried of two chosen ones and the shortened life span they had is the problem as well the others where they went.
"This is bizarre two people who are healthy looking humanoids are now in a coma like state with support systems on," said Athena as she cannot believe the readings.
"If there is more information we can get at the meantime we should start on it now," said Priestess.
"Yeah you are right. The more we look on it the better. We can see the data on those two. Hopefully, Alouette and the others can warn in the meantime," said Athena. Meanwhile… Alouette and Aile sighed as they were still in Corona Space Colony as they were wearing nothing but their outfits when they were performers for the troupe.
"Dad would love to see us in these outfits since it used to be mom," said Alouette. Aile sighed as she heard Alouette spoke.
"Yeah but we did promise that every year of the maverick attack on the troupe we would wear these outfits for the day and mourn for those we lost. Mom, Dad, Kyle. Mr. Garton. And Sharla," said Aile.
"Sharla did helped us many times to get out of Mr. Garton necks. He always tried to brutally assault you and since I came around and protect you he goes after me as well. Still I do not know what mom sees in him," said Alouette.
"Mom never really liked us since Dad did took care of us more than her. I think she was jealous," said Aile.
"Sharla did took care of us as if we were own children. She was the best prankster clown but still have a heart to hear us out and cared," said Alouette.
"Sharla did know that dad adopted you and that is how I found out that you are not my real sister. Nevertheless, I still cared you as one. Though she did hold secrets that we tend to find out," said Aile as she sighed.
"Like your real mom is unknown since she left the hospital with dad," said Alouette. Aile sighed in depression.
"Yeah those secrets. I wonder mom did not like me because I was not hers," said Aile.
"I think she did not like us in general. Though we still love her as a mother. We will keep all of them in our memories," said Alouette, "Even Vent."
"From what that lady told you he is still alive. Since now you are not being chased he will come to you," said Aile. As a guy stand far away looking at the two girls in white body suit. He has green jacket with pants and shirt to match. His hair is blue, light complex skin, and hazel eyes.
"Alouette… I did not know you would be here in Corona. Though I am sorry I have to keep you far away in a distance. What I am doing is far more dangerous than keeping you safe from snatchers," said the person as he saw the two left. Meanwhile… Alouette and Aile came back and the bases left Corona Space Colony. Though the two had found another space colony and know it belongs to Zeus Space Colony. Aile called her men and no one answered.
"Aile this is bad your men is not responding. You may need to go to Zeus Space Colony and find out what is going on," said Alouette.
"It is a bounty hunting grounds there. If there is a virus going on then I have to stop it," said Aile as she was about to leave as Zero stopped her as well as Phantom.
"Not without us. If anything we should help you out and warn the other chosen ones as well," said Zero.
"Ok. Well lets go then," said Aile as Zero and Phantom have followed her. Alouette looked at Phantom and find this odd. Meanwhile… Freya had her rifle with her and attack the Mavericks near by. Ceil was between Iris and Alia where Freya kept her distance with her armor.
"These guys are worse here," said Freya as she kept her cool and managed to keep the group moving until her armor was about to explode. Freya got out and just grabbed her rifle and sighed.
"Commander Freya be careful. This terrain is not like Earth at all," said Ceil. Freya sighed.
"I know. We might find some bounty hunters here. Since this place is known for bounties," said Freya.
"We got to keep our guard up," said Iris as she and Alia are in Dark Goddess Mode.
"This place in particular is the scrap yard. Do not ask anything about here we barely knew little about Zeus Scrapyard. Though like any scrap yard it is scary place to walk," said Freya.
"I hear too many voices. Many of them are cyber elves. They want us to go this way," said Iris. Ceil nodded. The group of females lead down as they were in a room of junk that looked like a stage. Lights were showing as a pseudoroid with a guitar stand in front of the group.
"Hey I have female audiences. Sorry to say that my concert will end quickly," said the pseudoroid.
"We do not came here for a concert we came here to stop the virus spread," said Ceil.
"Well that a shame. That is VIP passes. Though all of you can be vocals when I play the guitar. You all are going to scream your last song for me," said the pseudoroid, "I, Voltron, will make this your last performance."
"I handle him you three try to get to that virus stopped," said Alia. Ceil, Iris, and Freya nodded and left Alia with Voltron.
"Pretty brave of you. Though you still going to scream," said Voltron. Alia got her arm buster ready.
"Not as much as you," said Alia as she attacked Voltron. Meanwhile… Ceil and Iris went to work on the computer to put the program on. Few mavericks came and Freya handle them.
"Keep on working. I handle the mavericks," said Freya. Iris and Ceil nodded as they kept on typing on the computer. Meanwhile… Zero and Phantom followed Aile as they reached where Voltron was. Alia's buster was completely destroyed as Zero shockwave Voltron away from Alia. Freya took a last shot as she realized that she back track the room.
"Alia we have a problem. The computer has a timer and this place will be crawling with mavericks. Iris and Ceil cannot handle it by themselves," said Freya.
"I better go and help them," said Alia as she left. Aile looked at Freya with her rifle gun.
"Didn't you have your flight armor suit?" asked Aile. Freya sighed as she looked at Aile.
"Had it but got destroyed. It didn't last very long. I just grabbed my rifle and helped them as much as I can," said Freya.
"Oh. I see. Sorry about your suit then," said Aile. Freya smiled a tad and looked at Aile seriously.
"Well we have a bigger problem. We have to help Ceil and Iris out with the computers since Mavericks kept coming with no end," said Freya. The other two left Aile and Freya behind. Aile got a bit annoyed.
"They can just say we gone ahead of you," said Aile. Freya sighed as Aile and Freya followed the two reploids as they were slaughtering the mavericks. Freya and Aile got to the computer as Alia, Iris, and Ceil saw the counter going lower and lower by the second.
"This is no good this place will be a maverick colony like Eurasia. I cant stop it," said Alia.
"This is a worst predicament. People are going to suffer with Mavericks here," said Ceil. Iris put her mic down and head to a chamber.
"Iris where are you going," asked Alia. Iris looked at the two who is in front of her and saw Zero fighting.
"I have to stop it. If I cannot do it as Iris, then I must do it as Mother Elf," said Iris. Ceil has her eye wide open.
"Iris please don't we can think of a way," said Ceil. Iris looked at Ceil and handed her dark goddess chip that she had taken out.
"There is no time. Ceil, I promised I will watched over you and Zero. Please take care of him for me," said Iris as she saw Ceil cried a tear. Ceil want to stop her but didn't Iris got into the chamber and next thing everyone saw was a bright light. Iris body was destroyed within the chamber leaving Mother Elf as she hacked into the computer and stopped the virus from spreading. The virus stopped as Ceil only kept staring at the chamber she saw Iris went in. Tears kept pouring at Ceil's eyes. Zero caught a glimpse of the light as he saw Iris. He ran towards the capsule but was too late. She was gone.
"Iris," said Ceil softly. Zero screamed her name as he is now not the happy reploid. Phantom looked at Zero as he kept clearing the path. Freya notice that the scrap yard was not holding well.
"Ceil we need to get out of here. This place will not held any longer. Come on we need to go," said Freya. Ceil did not move. Freya sighed as she grabbed Ceil and carried her. Phantom provide cover fire from the back as Aile was there shock but left. The group left outside as Aile saw the place crumble. Ceil sat down and folded her legs as she could not stop crying. Zero tried not to show his emotions but only saw Ceil who cried.
"Aile to Guardians. Six to warp," said Aile. The six of them warped as Zero only went to his room and did not come out. Omega saw how Zero was and then looked at Ceil who is still sad and in tears.
"Ok can someone tell me what is going on?" asked Alouette as she saw Ceil in tears and Zero kind of mad.
"The day where mavericks have killed people. This day embark of the dealings and mourn for those who are died," said Aile.
"Aile??? Something happened," asked Alouette as Aile explained everything to her sister.
"Oh I see… Those two may have been hurt very hard. Especially Zero," said Alouette.
"I may not know how that feels but I know that it is the worst pain that he is going through," said Aile.
"I know. I have met a widow who is still mourn for her husband. I have thought that would have been me. Though I know Vent is still alive and I do not know where he is but there is a mere thought he could have been dead," said Alouette.
"Well then we can't disturb what happened. I would let them talk it over when they feel like it," said Aile, "I would be in my room if anyone needs me."
"Yeah. I would patch things up here and let you fall asleep. I may talk to Ceil when she is ok," said Alouette. Aile nodded as she went to her room. She lied down as she went to another world.
"Now I understand what the others pains are. I have seen it many of times but did not understand it. I seen fear and I see anguished. Though this type I rarely seen but when I seen it. The person lounge into me," said Black Knight as he looked at Aile. Aile looked at Black Knight.
"Many people lost someone they love or care about. Whether it be a friend, family member, or that significant person. Those feelings will never fade," said Aile.
"Ever since I have been here with you I have so many emotional feelings. Some are unknown to me while others I have seen familiar," said Black Knight.
"Now it proves that you are not only a war machine but you do have feelings like everybody else," said Aile.
"I guess with all the bitterness I had over the years and my master controlling me until I do want to kill him makes me no better than a killer," said Black Knight.
"However, you are not a killer anymore. If you feel what those people feel you have more than what you think you have," said Aile.
"If I can get out. I want to say sorry to both Omega and Zero. I may not know them but from seeing under your eyes. They have been through a lot," said Black Knight.
"They will be fine. I know they both would," said Aile as she still sleeping in body.
"Well this is interesting. Iris had went back to Mother Elf. However, this is not good. She put a dent on my plans. However, I need to make a back up plan. Chrono, I hope you are happy. One of my plans is about to crumble. However, my other plans are still being made. I will get your sister Athena. She and I are going to live together forever," said Vern as he watched what happened, "Soon Master Guess as he called himself that will be going to phase two of my plans. Sigma will be resurrected and we all are going to be at war again. Everything will be reset and I can start my reign with my sweet Athena." Chrono still did not move as she only can hear him but cannot do anything else.
