Heaven…
…The home of God's angels, so radiant and bright with its white clouds and golden rays bathing those people who ended up in this paradise.
Now... a paradise for those who had the power.
Large ships, which were a titanic size, almost similar to cities, crossed the blue skies of this world, all with a single specific direction. Go forward.
Arks that housed millions of lives inside, people who, with the power and fortune in their possession, were able to pay for their stay in these important flying arks.
The place of definitive difference between those who have the power and those who do not have it.
A paradise chosen only for a few others.
…
…
A paradise that lasted very little.
From the depths of the ground, where the hellish contaminated desert wastelands emerged.
…
…the Beast
A being with enormous dark wings and crimson eyes emerged from the depths of this abyss, roaring in complete anger and pain against the enormous citadels that moved without stopping.
His first victim was one of the many cities of heaven, which was destroyed by his infinite fury and rage. Killing a million souls in the process.
The screams of despair and terror hit the ears and hearts of those people who lived next to those poor victims. Many will die on this day.
This was just one of many other cities that burned.
This is just the warm-up.
Let the killing continue.

"-lint?...Glint?…Black Glint? "Black Glint, do you receive me?"
My eyes slowly opened, catching a glimpse of the booth I was in that projected an image of the outside.
Which showed nothing more than another work of mine from this war that I just joined.
A field that previously had many trees, which are now destroyed by the continuous use of missiles, bullets, and grenades that were fired by Black Glint.
The fire that was created by the explosion burned less intensely than before, consuming the emerald green grasses and trees that lay dead on the ground.
But that's not the most remarkable thing of all. Most notable were the dozens of Knightmares that were destroyed. All with varying degrees of destruction and brutality inflicted on my part.
Several of the Knightmares in the area were destroyed to brutal levels of destruction and deformation, many with gaping holes caused by my bullets passing through them, chunks of melted metal caused by my sword flying them, and missiles leaving nothing but burnt metal. They spread around the place and the explosives that disintegrated the bodies of said machines killed them.
None of them could give me a challenge, they tried to give me some sort of final fight. Trying to destroy me and Black Glint in the process, if I had to describe his fighting intent. I would call it pathetic.
…Silly even.
But at the end of the day it didn't matter at all, his efforts were completely useless at the end of it all. But leaving that aside, I have to focus on what is happening right now.
And that is protecting this group of trucks and soldiers who are beginning to rescue everything they can from the ruins of the NORMALS that I destroyed not long ago.
"What's up, Ayre?" I finally responded to the radio I had inside my Black Glint, looking at the soldiers as they collected pieces, parts, and equipment from each of the NORMALS. I guess they will try to reverse the technology of those pathetic machines for their purposes.
… It was finally time for them to start doing something, I was tired of having to take care of children who could barely fight properly on the battlefield.
If they want to save their nation then they must start adapting to the changes in this world... and it seems they are starting to learn that lesson.
"Colonel Tohdoh wants to see you at the CCP (Center Commando Point) to discuss a new operation that will be carried out" Tohdoh.
…
…heh why I'm not surprised by that thing about Tohdoh.
…Well, if he so wants to play the warrior leader that their people need, then go ahead. Let him do it, I just hope he doesn't regret his decisions in the future.
"…Okay, tell him I'll see him in 6 minutes… I'll see you at the CCP" I say as I command Black Glint to go to the place where Tohdoh is currently.
Everyone who was starting to load the Knightmares pieces into the trucks stopped when they saw the black knight, that warrior who drives the imposing black machine with crimson eyes, rise into the air.
The burners set fire to the little grass that was still on the ground, lifting the dirt from its place and expelling hot air that passed through the few trees, bushes, and the Knightmares that were in the area.
The soldiers who saw this coming quickly crouched down, to avoid being thrown into the air by the sudden gust of air, the hot winds from the burners passing over their heads, and the helmets of these soldiers flying off their heads.
And Black Glint once in the air, turned towards where Tohdoh and his group were and with a simple blink. He propelled himself at maximum speed, breaking through the sound barrier. Leaving the soldiers perplexed who could do nothing but stare open-mouthed at the speed at which that machine was moving away from them.
…
…
…
I can say with complete certainty that I will never get tired of seeing that great Knightmare, that great black machine with crimson eyes is terrifying of course, but… there is something about it that makes me look at this great war machine with fascination. almost childish.
As if I were seeing some kind of monument created and modified in honor of someone very important. A kind of hero or savior warrior in the form of this great Knightmare.
The structure of this machine is simply exceptional. Whoever was the creative mind of this type of machine must have been a great genius.
But…
…
How did a big machine with that kind of power go unnoticed by everyone?
"You can stop seeing my Knightmare… it's uncomfortable that you see him that way," Black Glint tells me, snapping me out of my reverie and thoughts. I look to my right side.
Seeing Black Glint with dark circles in his eyes tells me that he hasn't slept much in these times of war. I also have dark circles in my eyes, so you could say that we are both tired and just want to rest for a while in our beds.
"I-I'm sorry, it's just that... seeing a machine like the one you pilot, it's... it's"
"Magnificent," Black Glint finished suddenly for me.
I nod at his word and say "Yes… magnificent" He stole the words from my mouth.
Black Glint then touches me on the shoulder and tells me "Come on… we have to go see what Todo wants… I want to finish this so I can at least have a few hours of rest" I nod at his words.
And I have to agree, the previous two weeks of continuous operations and back-to-back combat is already starting to take its toll on my body.
A little sleep wouldn't hurt... but...
…
…I also can't say that it wasn't a very bad experience these past two weeks. I mean of course we were tiring as hell but I've been able to hang out with Black Glint a lot more and get to know him a little more.
He has been closed of course... but from what I was able to discover at the moment, he is a person who has suffered a lot, is very close, and does not reveal any emotion, other than just anger, apathy, and disinterest in human life.
He usually makes one or another dark joke... very dark, but...
…
…sometimes… he shows a little of that human side that he tries so hard to hide.
This leads me to wonder...
…
…what kind of life he had before arriving in Japan.
"Will you just stand there or should I drag you to come with me to this meeting?" Black Glint's voice shook me out of my ideas about his past.
"S-Sorry I´ll go!" I say as I walk quickly and stand next to him, accompanying him to the place where the most important meeting in the history of all of Japan is taking place.
…
…
…
"Black Glint, Operator Ayre, it's good to see you here," Tohdoh says as he looks at the two newcomers to discuss the future of Japan. All the important people within the Japanese army were also here, all with faces full of fatigue and lack of sleep... but still ready to continue fighting until the very end.
Black Glint, as always apathetic, just nodded his head while Ayre said, "You're welcome, sir... but... Why we're here, shouldn't we be moving north to deal with the last invasion force of Britannia?"
"That's what I want to talk to everyone about," he said as he unrolled a tactical map of the place, showing the important positions of the Japanese forces and where Britannia is currently stationed.
…
…The city of Sapporo.
The last bastion that Britannia has in Japan.
"As you can see, Sapporo is the last place where the little that remains of Britannia's invasion forces reside. Intelligence says 2 battalions are in place, which gives us a total of 200 Knightmares defending the city, with planes, armored vehicles, and helicopters. and a fleet that is supporting the evacuation of its armed forces."
"We already know that Tohdoh, what you want to achieve with all this" says Black Glint, tired of playing around with the tricks of Tohdoh and Genbu, who constantly try to get the data from his Black Glint.
And he doesn't forget Kirihara, who secretly tries to recreate something similar to Black Glint with the parts of the Knightmares that he destroyed.
It's not that he's worried that they'll be able to create a machine just as big as Black Glint. Even if they manage to create a machine just like mine, it won't work because it requires a lot of energy.
Energy comes in the form of Kojima particles.
…something they will never be able to recreate or create.
…
…wait.
Tohdoh looks at Black Glint with narrowed eyes, annoyed by his attitude. "What I want, Black Glint… is for you to send a message."
…
…
"… That?" Black Glint asks, confused by Tohdoh's words.
" What you heard Black Glint, I want you to send them a message" Tohdoh repeated to Black Glint, who now seemed incredulous about what Tohdoh is asking for.
"...Tohdoh I think that the previous victories are more than a message for Britannia" Black Glint tells him, annoyed at having to listen to Tohdoh's words.
Tohdoh shakes his head and says "No… these are not victories, we have done nothing but slow down Britannia's advance. In the eyes of the world we have done nothing more than stop the inevitable… but now, we want the world to listen… we want the world to know… that you" he said pointing to Black Glint "are our most powerful weapon… a weapon which cannot be contained and we will not be afraid to unleash it against the world if we wish, a weapon that everyone will see... and that they will learn to fear us... to fear you too"
…
Ayre could only turn to look at Black Glint in complete concern, knowing what this could mean for the mercenary he is working with. Knowing that this may put Black Glint on bad terms with the rest of Japan.
Ayre could only feel upset and angry at this decision... Black Glint is supposed to be here to help them... and instead because of his help, we are antagonizing him. Making it a target for Britannia and the rest of the world's other powers.
…What the fuck.
What complete shit Ayre thinks.
She may have only interacted with him in these two weeks… but in these two weeks, she is the only person who has gotten close to him and the Black Glint. And he supports him as one friend would support another.
… but.
…
...I can see why they do it... a way to leave Black Glint with no way out... and prevent him from rebelling against us. A control method to monitor each of your movements and actions.
In addition to my constant reports based on what I analyze of Black Glint's Knightmare, it means that they must want me even close to him and maintain more active surveillance. Most likely, at some point, they will ask me to extract data from the machine so they can manufacture them.
…a method that I do not approve of at all… but that I will have to reluctantly accept.
While Ayre began to analyze each of the consequences of this decision, Black Glint only had one thing to say in his head. A thing that bounced with anger inside his head.
…
…
…Fool.
….Tohdoh is a complete fool.
Revealing the existence of the Black Glint to everyone…making me a target for everyone.
Revealing my existence to everyone!
Fools. Damn fools, I curse Genbu, Kirihara, and Tohdoh.
Making me a target for everyone, forcing me to choose to ally with them to avoid dying for one of the others. I curse them, I curse each one of them for having led me to this result.
…
…but it is the most logical action to take right now… if they want to show the world that they can survive the largest empire in this world… then they must show that they have the weapons…. And monsters to confront the titan of the Empire that is invading them.
…
…and it turns out that I am the kind of monster they need.
…
…screw it…let's do it then
"…Well…let's do it then, but I want a reward if I'm going to become public enemy number 1 of the Britannian Empire," says Black Glint, with a tone as cold as ice and with a look that would pierce the soul of anyone who was in it. his sights.
Tohdoh, who felt Black Glint's gaze, did not flinch at all and showed a stoic posture in the face of Black Glint's sudden aura of hostility. All the officers and people who were in this room felt chills running down their spines and great uneasiness squeezing their hearts.
But not Tohdoh... Tohdoh will not show weakness before the soldiers who see him as a hero, Tohdoh will show his strength of will to defend his nation and will remain stoic before this reaper in the form of a man.
" Whatever you want, then we will reward you appropriately, but as long as you demonstrate your full power to Britannia," said Tohdoh. With a face carved in stone.
"…well, then wait until you fulfill my demands"
"I have an army to kill"

But that doesn't mean that I will stop writing, I will continue writing and publishing what I do...
But unfortunately not that often.
