"*SIGH* I've got nothin' to say, pal," Charlie snapped back. "But you really shouldn't look down on people so easily. Like you said: Maria Spencer was rightfully held responsible for the E-Pandora Project's failure; however, my behavior has NOTHING to do with her. I can't stand to fight alongside the E-Pandora. They're just too immature for my liking, and THAT is exactly why the project failed. Fortunately, the situation was uncovered by Chevalier and easily dealt with. It's still my opinion that those with power must follow orders and now act on their own! Ain't that the reason ya didn't side with the E-Pandoras, zombie punk! INSTEAD OF WONDERING WHAT IS RIGHT OR WRONG, YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ORDERS AND TURN ON YOUR COMRADES! THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A PANDORA! I CAN'T TRUST ANYONE WHO MAKES ARBITRARY DECISIONS BASED ON THEIR EMOTIONS AND THEN SIDE WITH THE ENEMY! Y'ALL DON'T HAVE MY TRUST...AND NEVER WILL. SO FUCK YOU ALL!"
The entirety of Team 13 looked surprised.
"Anyways, I'll see you at training later," Charlie said as he turned around and began to walk away, "but I won't be friends with any of you faggots."
"I understand how you feel..."
Charlie stopped at the words of Satellite.
"What I did in Alaska was an act of rebellion. We were just lucky that everything was solved in the end," said the Pandora punk. "But after that incident, I came to understand the meaning of real teamwork. I understand that you're not one to trust anyone, but I'm asking that trust ME...because I promise that I would NEVER betray my comrades! Everyone here is a member of Team 13, and I won't allow my emotions to cause them any trouble."
"Wow! Satellite sure surprised me~de arimasu..." thought Ra's.
"Fairchild-senpai, you really changed things around here..." thought Kazuha.
"...Hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm hmm...how COULD you betray me...if I never ever trust you?" Charlie asked Satellite.
"Hey, what the hell's wrong with you?!" yelled Rocky. "Satellite was just admitting to his mistakes."
"Oh, I understand perfectly, and I'm pretty sure he'll work hard on himself..."
"'Work hard on himself'! What do you mean by that?"
"Let me make this clear: I'm not stupid enough to forgot the Pandora's mission because of my personal feelings. Now, don't get me wrong, I STILL don't trust you, but since you look so determined, you'll have to show me how strong your determination is. Our mission is to defeat mankind and grant humanity a future! So, as long as our goals are the same, there's no reason for us to be friends! That being said, I can't trust any of you...for now...what happened in Alaska is still fresh in my memory. C'mon, Citrine" And so, Charlie walked away with Citrine, leaving Team 13 behind.
"Ugh, what happened to Arnold?" asked Alessandro later that night. "He seems to have changes since the E-Pandora disaster! I seemed to enjoy him better when he was the 'Mad Dog'."
"I kinda like him," said Mary. "He seems way nicer that before..."
"Are you shitting me?" the Architect of Evil whispered to himself. "He thinks he's replacing Elliot! Arnold is just Arnold and NOTHING else! He'll NEVER be anything like Elliot!" he blurted out loud. Just then, he noticed a Pandora and Limiter looking at him for a few seconds before they suddenly turned around and walked away. "Ah, if it isn't Charlie of Team 13...don't think I didn't notice you, pal."
"Relax. I'm just passing by," said Charlie. "Don't make a big deal out of it?"
"I'm NOT! Anyways, the dorms are that way!" Alessandro pointed to the direction of the dormitories. "And I think you were HEADING that way before you saw us. Does this mean that normal Pandora aren't worthy to cross paths with one of Team 13's elites? I mean, we both belong to West Genetics, so greeting each other should be a form of courtesy, right?"
"...Ugh...everywhere I go, there's always someone trying to get on my bad side. Is this really a habit at West Genetics? Or maybe the people who hang around Elliot Mably...are a bunch of morons who got no self-esteem?!"
"*GASP* You...You know Elliot Mably?!"
"As a matter of fact, I HATE Elliot Mably! Back in Alaska, he was the one blabbering about 'noblesse oblige' or some shit like that, only to stab his comrades in the back!"
"WHAT?! That's bullshit! How would you know that?"
"Unfortunately, the details are highly classified, so I can't talk too much; however, I need to warn you about something: you shouldn't put too much trust in that son-of-a-bitch! He's the kind of person who can betray anyone if he feels like it! But I guess it doesn't matter since he ain't a Pandora anymore."
"Take it back!" snarled Alessandro. "TAKE IT BACK RIGHT NOW! Elliot ain't no traitor! That's the worst accusation you can give to Team Elliot!"
"'Team Elliot'...? Is that some sort of stupid faction? I guess that validates what I've been saying, doesn't it?" But think about it: you're in this state because he abandoned y'all! In fact, he seemed to be acting that way when he fought against me. In order to win, he didn't hesitate sacrificing his own Limiter."
"So...the one Elliot fought in Alaska was...was...YOU: Charlie Bonaparte!"
"THAT'S RIGHT! Under Chevalier's orders, I tried to stop those wretched E-Pandoras when he distracted me! And to actually BEST me, Elliot Mably actually sacrificed his own Limiter! Fortunately, Chevalier's plans were discovered and everything turned out good in the end; otherwise, the crimes he committed would've be TOO severe for him to handle!"
"Sounds like something Elliot would do! He wasn't WRONG after all! I mean, I probably would've done the same if I was him!"
"*SCOFF* I guess the rumors were true: West Genetics is truly inhabited by idiots! And YOU might be the biggest one of all. Chevalier would've ben exposed even withOUT Elliot's interference! Elliot is a complete narcissist! And hid Limiter? Well, I think you get the idea! And in the end, he even ABANDONED her like a coward! So, how can you still believe—"
"It doesn't matter! You LOST in the end! One of the strongest Pandora in the world...GOT HIS ASS KICKED BY ELLIOT! Isn't that why you hate him so much? Hmm?"
"...Ugh! I'm done talkin' with a brat like you!" Charlie turned around to storm off. "Yes, I DID lose to those braindead friends of yours, but only because—"
"DON'T WALK WAY FROM ME! Not without an apology, ya little brat!"
"And what if I don't do it?"
"THEN I'LL TEAR YER JAW OFF!"
*KERCHINK*
Alessandro summoned his Elegant Glory Volt Weapon!"
"...You know what?" Charlie snapped back at him. "BRING IT ON, MOTHERFUCKER!"
*KERCHINK*
