Chapter 7

Silence surrounded the sunny environment as Enid and Remila were still waiting on Avis to wake up from Remila's power. She already told Enid that she just have Avis's heart beating again in order to have the virus preventing it to take over his body, but if he died again, it would be the same. Enid felt the guilt on Avis by taking the virus that she had from her master, but it should happen to her if she ever die. She shook her head to even think that she should've never made contact with this man before, this would of never happen if only she had refused to take him ...

"Your story was really amazing Kaylenna." Remila turned to Enid and looked at her sad eyes, "it was sad, but it was still amazing to actually hear about it and to even visualize it. I'll never forget the story you told me, thank you."

"..."

"Now that you know who I am, I'll tell you a secret about the New World's Order."

"..."

"Are you listening Kaylenna?"

The grey clouds loomed around Enid, bits of raindrops hit her skin, she stare at Avis that was unconscious on the ground. She wanted to get up and leave him there, but she could not move her legs that were already healed by Remila's powers. The rain grew heavy, but Enid was not being hit by the raindrops when Remila used her powers to make a screen above all three people. Coldness spread around her body when goosebumps are starting to show on Enid's skin. She was used to the coldness from the cave she lived in with her master. It was always cold in there, her master never worn gloves and she would always see her master's hands that had red spots all over.

XV's virus will finally bring me down...

He never told her about this, how he possessed the left arm that had a dangerous virus on it. She clenched her gloved fists, she could not move, she could not think, all she can do is to wait for Avis to wake up.

"Kaylenna?"

"What I am going to do Remila?"

Remila looked at Enid and shrugged her shoulders.

"How could I be so... unaware of this, I knew I should've killed him, but ..."

She looked at his face, his eyes were still closed, and he was sleeping softly.

"I cannot! I can't kill him!"

Enid cried to herself with tears flowing down on her cheeks. It was warm and wet when the tears fell down on her legs, it was different than the raindrops. She would hear the splattering drops of water from outside, now it is so close that the sound of her crying was not heard from the rain.

"Kaylenna," Remila rubbed Enid's back.

Enid's heart was beating fast when looked down at Avis. He just gave her a smile before, she could not stop thinking about that when Avis was not giving her this expression again. Her heart tighten when she stare him and she took off her gloves to show her hands.

"It's my fault, I gave him the XV when I was near my master, now he will have to live with it until that virus bring him down."

"Kaylenna?" Remila stare at her hands that were full of red spots and Enid walked in the shower of rain.

"My name wasn't Kaylenna in the first place, that's just a codename my master gave me before he went in his demise. I was called Enid."

"Enid?" Remila cocked her head.

Enid heard a groan from behind and she saw Avis that was getting up from the ground. She walked towards him and offer her gloved hand.

"You knew huh?" Avis took her hand and got up, then Enid slapped him with one of her bare hand.

"Knew about what?! This?! Why would I not be like this?!" Enid yelled and turned around.

"Sorry..."

"Sorry is not going to count!" Enid cried softly to herself.

"..."

"It was because of me that gave you XV! Now you have to live with it until the day you die!"

Avis looked away from Enid and he lowered his eyes. The thunder roar above the clouds and the rain pour on top of him as well. He clenched his left fist many times and looked at Enid again.

"Kaylenna...perhaps you didn't pay attention from my story. This arm was made to infect me, it was not from you."

"Goodness! I was sure that the virus went towards me when my master died! However...I wasn't near enough to catch it." Enid's hands trembled as she stare at her red hands and she looked at Avis. "Who are you? Are you the monster that everyone spoke of?

"I...I am a cyborg that went through an experiment from a mysterious virus. They used your master's ashes to make the one that will make an XV that will take orders to capture you, but- "

"You son of a bitch!"

Enid punched Avis hard on his face. She panted in anger from the roaring thunder that was making the rain grew harder, than Avis got up from the muddy ground.

"Can you at least let me finish talking?!"

"You were working for them. Bastard! You tricked me!"

"Okay! I did lied to you! But I wasn't working for them in the first place! I only work for them just to find you Enid!"

Enid jumped when he said her real name for the first time. "How-"

"Like I said!" Avis interrupted by raising his voice. "We are the same! We're fulfilling our master's last quest! This virus was installed in me for a reason! This virus was growing inside me and each time I die, this thing will come back and beat the shit out of people! I'm here to save someone from a request and you're the only one that can help me!"

"...You're a liar and a thief." Enid shake her head when she was already listening to those nonsense that does not concern her. Enid shot her revolver multiple times at Avis. He raised his left arm that was sucking in the lead bullets and he gave her a stern look.

"You leave me no choice."

Avis changed into his own armor while Enid put on her cervical armor as well, then they charge at each other to make their hand to hand combat. They both have the same speed, moves, and strength when they were engaging themselves in their combat. Enid made aggressive moves due to anger, than their last punch send themselves flying behind. They both landed on their backs and Enid took out her double bladed sword to shoot out her green arrows at him.

Enid stopped shooting when smoke emitted Avis' surroundings. She thought she heard something, a rocket was coming towards her and she dodged the huge explosion that it caused on her spot. She looked at Avis' spot, a bazooka was held at his shoulder, then he got up to have his weapon changed into a special designed axe. He held his heavy weapon over his shoulder.

They charge at each other again to make their combat fight with their own weapons. They clashed and they slash at themselves, making scratches and cut wounds at themselves, they never stopped fighting.

It was nightfall, the crickets were chirping when the rain had stopped leaving the area wet and cold. Little Remila made a shield around herself and slept on the dry ground by herself. Behind her were two people fighting, the clashing never stopped, and finally Enid punched him on the face again. He rolled on the ground three times and he laid there with his face battered the ground. Enid walked towards him with her cold expression on her eyes.

"You were quite the fighter, but you know that your dismay has cause your downfall." Enid said.

"That's not true, I only wanted you to hear the truth." Avis said while he tried to get up, but Enid stomp on his back.

"Any last words...my comrade?"

Avis and Enid were panting from fatigue. They were sweating in their armors and their bodies grew weak after clashing their weapons for so long. Enid points her weapon at him again, but not one made a move. They were still panting under their masks, with their eyes reflecting in their lens, they stare at each other's eyes.

"Enid...I...I don't..." Avis said to her.

"Pick it up goddamn it!" Enid yelled when his weapon was right next him.

"No...I do not want to, I can't do it!" Avis finally got the strength to get up and he walked towards her.

"What are you doing?!" Avis got close enough to forced Enid to drop her weapon and he grabbed her arms.

"Enid, it's a nice name..." Avis lowered his eyes and his voice became soft.

"Shut up!" Enid slash part of his armor mask off with her claw and he looked at her right eye again.

"Enid...I seemed to understand your life and that person's life too. I think I'm falling for you."

"...!" Enid's heart beat rapidly when she heard that and she looked at his only human eye. He was serious, then her eye mask opened when tears fell out of her eyes.

"Oh, so that's the feeling, now I get it."

"No!" Enid stumbled back and she fell on the ground.

"Enid...cute name for a cute girl like you."

Enid was laying on the muddy ground with Avis' face that was suddenly getting closer. Then something warm pressed her small lips, Enid's hands were trembling and his right hand squeezed her right hand. She clenched the wet dirt with her claws, the feeling on her lips was unbearably hot. Enid's heart was beating rapidly, she felt something wet in her mouth. She had never felt this strange sensation before, then their lips came apart.

"Enid..." Avis repeated her name smoothly.

"You son of a bitch..." Enid said and looked away from his face.

"You're still mad huh?"

"You fucking traitor! First you did not send us the data and now you're in love with her?!" said a voice.

"Fuck." Avis got up and he looked at the two people that he did not want to see.

"Oh, it's you two," Enid said not surprised to see them again.

"Remila, you imbecile traitor!" she looks at the little girl, "I will take your head to show it to our master how much trouble you are in since you teamed up with them, now you shall pay!"

Remila's back was turned and she kept on sleeping from under her shield. Enid stood behind her to face the two sisters.

"You just ruined the good moment." said Avis holding his axe.

"Heh! The hell we are! We're just going to play with you for a bit to retrieve my useless brat's head!"

"Avis, do you know their moves?" Enid held her revolver.

"For a long fucking time."

"All right, then engaged them in close combat, I'll cover you."

"How are you going to- shit man! You can use a rifle?"

"Yes, do you not remember that I was trained by not only my master's skills? I was also trained by his skills from his leaders' as well."

"I see, well is this thrilling that we're finally joining hands?"

"Go to hell. When we're done with unto them, I'm going to cut your head off."

"Oh, did I made you mad? Sorry, but I didn't get to see everything."

"Considering you had me almost off guard."

"Oh really? I bet you'll enjoy-"

"Enough with the chit-chat and fight!" the woman yelled.

"Let's go!" Enid said and she readied her rifle.

The fight was intense from the women's powers that was the same as Enid. Avis handled them well with only an axe and he used his left arm to engage combat with the other person.

Enid made her shot that hit the chubby girl's leg and she fell on the ground.

"Switch!" Enid yelled and they made a high five to each other, then Enid took out her double swords to engage close combat with the other one. Enid and the woman was fast with their skills, however ...

"Enid!"

Enid smashed her head on the ground and a rocket hit the woman.

Smoke surrounded the two wounded woman, they were coughing from the smoke and they look at their opponents.

"Damn it! How did you get stronger than before? No matter, at least we got something that will make us stronger right sister?"

"Why yes."

The women took out a mask once they put it on, they made one breath, and then the ground began to shake.

Their hairs and their eyes glow on the color of their powers. Enid and Avis had to look at the sight of these women have gone to a level that was over 9000, but that is not going stop them from fighting some more.

"How are you doing?" Enid asked Avis.

"Tired as hell, but we got this right?"

"... As the matter of fact, of course." Enid had never felt so excited in a long time and she can not wait how this fight ends with a bang!

"These masks are used for their emergencies only," Avis said.

Remila paused for a bit and she made a smile. "Their masks will have them breathe in a gas that will make them stronger and all, but this mask will take away the clean oxygen that we breath in every day, it is like smoking a cigarette or a hookah on what humans like to breath on for its taste, but it is worse than tobacco and it very dangerous for humans to inhale, for these robots they can breath in it. As for me, it is the same, " Remila mumbles to herself while Enid and Avis was fighting them, then she smiled to herself. "Well, these two will not last long anyway, orders?"

The fight was long and intense by the two women that have their powers increased by their masks. Enid and Avis were fatigue as hell, but they have to keep on going until their opponents are at their limits.

"You think that you can achieve your goal with such little powers?" said the one with the dark green hair and green eyes glowing. "You're nothing but a human!"

"I may be a human, but I am still as strong as my master!"

"What can you achieve from this old man? He could of done this on his own and get that over with!"

"He was being hunted down and was training me!" Enid shoots out green arrow with amazing speed from her hands, but the android's shield was up to block every arrows that was coming to her.

"Tch! He wasted his whole life being chased by my master, if only he would of stay dead, this would have never happen and you would never exist so we won't have to deal with you!"

"Well you big dolt? What happens, happens, now fight you coward!"

"You bitch- Ack!"

Just when Enid was about to shoot her with her revolver, she dropped it right after she have seen a pair of small claws that was sticking out of the woman's chest.

"Do you ever shut up, dear sister?" Remi giggled at her.

"What?!" the woman screamed as her powers fade and her pupils revert back to normal.

"No!" said the chubby woman and she charges at Remi, but she was kick hard by a child's feet and the force made her dropped on the ground.

"I've been waiting for this for a very long time. Daddy finally said that your job is done.."

"You...human..." the woman did not finish her sentence and her head slumps down, then Remi slammed her bloody body on the floor and she floated toward the chubby sister.

"Me? Human? Don't make me laugh. I'm just like you failing synthesis."

"Remila..." Enid said to her, but Remila ignored Enid's terrified voice and she starts to smash her other sister's stomach off just because she hated her guts so much, then she slowly floated down on the ground and landed softly on her little feet to let her step down on the fresh blood that dripped down her gloves that had bloody claws attached to her fingers.

"What the fuck are you?" Avis said and Enid shot her bullets at her.

"Futile, futile efforts" Remila smiled when the bullets were hitting her shield around her.

"You are just like her, exactly like her." Enid shook her head.

"Sorry, but betrayers must pay the price."

"What?" Avis said.

"Watch out!"

Enid pushed Avis from Remila's range and a huge amount of energy power almost hit him.

"Why did you-?"

"Move!" Enid yelled when Remila held a gray bomb and dropped it on the ground to surround the place with dark smoke.

"I can't fucking see!" Avis said, then he saw a shadowy figure coming towards Enid. "Behind you!"

Enid looked behind her back and something hit her head then she lay unconscious on the ground. Avis tried to run to Enid, but he was hit by the guts and he laid on the ground as well.

Remila changed herself from a child to a slender woman in a black bodysuit. She grabbed the two unconscious people and her creepy smile was shown when she looked at her dead fake sisters on the ground.

"Mission complete father." she said in a mature voice. "Finally! I can transfer out of this awful body!"

"Good work, send them back to the headquarter immediately." said a deep voice from the radio.

"..." Remila stared at Enid and she made another sharp smile.

"Remila 09?"

"Yeah, yeah...copy that."
