Chapter 19: Callisto on Orbit.
Malady had most of the military going on head force on the mavericks as she tried to keep her fortress holding down.
"Left flank protect the generators," said Malady as she tried to hack in the systems and see what type of security she can use to help her out.
"Malady we are going to lose the thrusters. We need back up," said one of the soldiers.
"I already send SOS signal. Either Rhea or a guardian base will pick it up. Right now we have to hold the fort as long as we can," said Malady as she tried to take command under pressure.
"Malady we have even bigger problem. Our canons are being launched heading toward earth," said another soldier.
"I am trying to over write that command from here it is not doing any miracles if you keep warning me about it," said Malady. Plasma shots can be heard in the background as Malady tried to do everything to hack the systems.
"Right Flank protect the people. Middle keep a hold on the fort," said another soldier.
"Commander Leila please I need help we haven't been in this bad of situation since well never. I really need your expertise right about now," thought Malady as she kept on hacking. Meanwhile… Leila had arrived with Lotus, Rider, and Strider. The three use shadow techniques to stealth around and managed to kill things along the way Leila followed them until they have reached the resistance base of Orbit.
"Commander Leila thank goodness you are here," said one of the soldiers. Leila saw the damage as the Mavericks kept coming.
"Back up already protecting the civilians and take them to Callisto Guardian Base. While the rest of us are going to held out here fighting," said Leila.
"We are waiting for your orders or you want us to continue Malady's orders," said one of the soldiers.
"If her orders are to protect the civilians then switched to protecting the generators. We do not need the place to explode on us. If it is other than that then continue her orders," said Leila.
"Rodger that. Everyone lets keep holding the fort," said the soldier. Strider sighed as she looked at these soldiers.
"I will help out," said Rider. Leila nodded as Rider use her scout abilities and helped the soldiers where to fire as well as she managed to destroy some of the mavericks that came.
"Commander Leila, all civilians are at Rhea and Callisto Space Colony. We still did not hear a word from Rhea," said the intercom of her soldiers.
"They must still be at Earth. Keep the civilians on Rhea until we can keep Orbit from being the virus place. Also help the flanks that is in the generator area. That place will be the first one that will be destroyed or even be the first to have the virus," said Leila.
"Roger that," said the person on the intercom. Leila sighed as Strider and Lotus look at her.
"How about we split up. One of us will stay with you while the other be on the generator area," said Strider.
"Ok then," said Leila as Strider left Lotus who is now Leila's body guard. Lotus and Leila keep following to a room where they found many mavericks and few soldiers fighting on the command center.
"Commander Leila you are here," said one of the soldiers as Lotus handle the mavericks that tried to come in.
"Status report," said Commander Leila. Malady sighed as she still try to hack into the systems.
"Generators are being attacked, the canon we had started to activate and aimed at Earth, the fort will be run down by mavericks as well as the civilians that are here," said Malady.
"Civilians are taken care of. Several back up have them already transported to Rhea Space Colony and Callisto Guardian Base. I have several men that are going to the generators. The fort is being held so far well. As for the canon, you need a special code to activate it you should know that Malady," said Leila.
"I know but someone overwrite that system. I do not know who but someone found out the special code. I know you told me and we split it up in three segments and we kept it within our memory. But somehow someone found it and rearrange the special code against me," said Malady. Leila got to the computer and start typing as well.
"Then lets get cracking," said Commander Leila. Meanwhile… Freya sat there with a gun she found that belongs to her beloved. She kept crying as Priestess had came to her room.
"The ceremony has been complete. People of Horace and the Guardians of Horace gave him respect," said Priestess.
"I know. I know that but why does he have to leave me again. This time I know he is not coming back. He is still going to be in a form that if he tried to help he will die," said Freya.
"It is ok Freya. We all have to deal with the pain of losing someone," said Priestess.
"It is better to know that he is alive as a cyber elf than to know he does not exist anymore," said a voice as Priestess and Freya turned to the voice as it was a floating blue cyber elf.
"Magician??" asked Priestess. Magician looked at Priestess with a smile and giggled.
"In a flash. I did not thought after a sacrificial state of my body will not take my soul there but turned me into a cyber elf. Oh well atleast I still can be around," said Magician.
"So you are really dead?" asked Freya. Magician sighed as she did not like that term.
"In a way I do not have a body like any other cyber elves. But I can still talk and speak to you all," said Magician.
"You know that Iris is back to Mother Elf," said Priestess. Magician sighs as she looked at Priestess.
"I know. I talked to her and Sardine. Though I know if Omega sees me like this he will be devastated as well as my daughter," said Magician.
"Omega… He have been devastated. Now I see why," said Freya. Magician noticed where everyone is near at.
"Hey I think Orbit needs help if anyone paid attention to the huge laser that is going to aim at Earth," said Magician. The three looked and sure enough a huge laser is charging.
"Lets go. We need to stop it," said Freya as she ran to the transerver and started to leave. Axl follow them as he was being curious where they are going. Priestess followed as well as Alouette, Aile, and Omega. Omega saw the cyber elf that float near Freya.
"Oh hello Omega," said the cyber elf. Omega looked at the cyber elf and was about to burst in tears.
"Gwen…" was all Omega said. The cyber elf looked at him as he turned back into his vengeful self.
"Yes it is me. Sorry for not telling you about it. I did not want you to be sorrow," said Magician.
"Too late for that. I have been sorrowful as no one understands my pain," said Omega.
"Not true. Yes you may lost her before I lost mine. And the pain is real. However, that does not mean that we should…" said Freya as she wants to cry. Omega looked at Freya.
"She is right. Just because I am a cyber elf does not mean that I am gone for good. Just means that I am going to watch you and Arwen now. Our son Angel has been watching over us as well as Chorus. They kept their eyes on us and kept doing so. I am going to join them as a cyber elf and watch over you and Arwen. Do not worry, I still be around," said Magician.
"Gwen… I am sorry for not being there for you," said Omega. Magician looked at Omega.
"Not true. You have been here for me. You have given me the love that I wanted and the hope I need," said Magician.
"We are here," said Priestess. Omega ran in first dealing them with piece of metal flying destroying mavericks in his path. Freya looked at Magician.
"Promise me this. Take care of Sardine as a cyber elf. I will try to take care of Omega if I can," said Freya.
"I will. He will need a support and if you can give that to him please do so," said Magician as she flew away. Freya got her gun. Meanwhile… Strider got to the generators and a reploid have made artificial plants mixture with data all over the place.
"I never thought I see a female trying to hide her beauty under that armor," said a reploid who looked like a flower.
"That is depends what type of beating you want," said Strider as she have her hand ready to draw her weapon.
"What you think you can handle me without showing me your beauty. Oh well I Axel the Red will find a way to bring it out," said Axel. Strider was waiting as Axel have started to split into two people. Strider went on attacking the first but found out it was a hologram. She then went to the other and attack at it. Axel got hit but his thorn ball had hit Strider cutting off her pants showing her legs and making it look like a bikini. Strider ducked down as she was ready. Axel whistled at Strider.
"Nice legs. You have beauty under there. I wonder what else is under that suit," said Axel.
"Beauty is within skin deep," said Strider. Axel again attacked and Strider counter attack and lost more of her clothing showing her suit into a bikini top and bottom with the exception of her gauntlets and mask.
"Wow you are even more beautiful under that suit. I wonder why you want to cover it up," said Axel, "Oh well uncover the rest and see what I am wasting." Strider again ready for his attack and counter but this time her mask was gone.
"Wow. I think I am in love here," thought Axel before he can say anything Strider went close range attack and knocked Axel off balance and deliver the final blow after slashing him millions of time. After that attack Axel the Red fell down and have a smile on his face. Strider picked up her mask and put it back on.
"You are an extreme beauty. It is a shame that I have to kill something that radiance," said Axel, "Especially a rose like that."
"I prefer lotus. Those flowers are more to the personality I am," said Strider as she left. Axel the Red had a heart up his head as it breaks and he looked down saw the huge gash mark and exploded.
"A rose by any other name still smell sweet," said Strider as the plants stopped growing. The rest of the military came in for back up as Strider hidden herself within the shadows and kept her self hidden. Meanwhile… Omega had finished his killing spree and people of the fort were moving out of his way.
"Omega… Please find a way for us to reach to your heart. You may not need a lover but a friend who went through the same thing," said Freya.
"Commander Freya?" asked some of the soldiers. Freya looked at the group of soldiers.
"Where is Commander Leila?" asked Freya. The soldiers pointed as Omega going towards that direction.
"Carry on," said Freya as the soldiers gave a confused look to each other as Axl, Priestess, Aile, and Alouette.
Meanwhile… Leila and Malady managed to stop the canon to fire and the virus was on Orbit has been eliminated. Mother Elf looked at the two females that is on Orbit with a smile.
"Earth is about to get infected again. I just realize that we need to stop it," said Malady.
"I know we stopped it from transferring even more but we cannot stop it when it is over there. We did shut our ports," said Commander Leila.
"Then we must go over there directly then," said Freya as Omega breathes heavily. A cyber elf of Magician looked at the group.
"I am here as a messenger. I am here to warn my daughter but so far she is not here," said Magician.
"She is at Earth. She ported there from Rhea not so long ago. Her and the three navigators are there," said Leila.
"Then we must go to Earth then," said Magician. Omega looked not so happy but he was also exhausted. Rider and Lotus looked at Omega.
"Wow… Can someone fill me in what is going on," asked Rider as she came out of her hiding spot. The group were sitting down and share stories as a shadow looked not so happy.
"Dang! Not only Mother Elf is foiling my plans but other elves as well. Oh well no matter the other elves will die and that is the end of them," said Vern as he again watching the group and Chrono started to show signs of motion when Vern is not noticing.
