Chapter 106 - A Worthless Life and A Life's Worth

[Abandoned Desert City - Sahara Desert]

(On the right side of the city Lt. Amari and his team were laying in wait for the last T-55, They also planted an IED in the middle of the road and were ready for the tank to pass by. Unfortunately things didn't go as planned since the last T-55 stopped right before it reached the IED. Then it fired a shot at the road and detonated the buried IED on purpose. The shockwave from the explosion knocked down Amari and his team)

"Amari to Huntress, the plan has failed! I repeat the plan failed, the IED was shot by the tank before it reached the trap!"

"Nana! Get out of there now! A tank is headed for your location!"

(Gero looked at the T-55 pointing its 100mm gun at them. He took the pistol given to him by Nana and started shooting the tank. The bullets from the pistol were like pebbles to the armor of the tank. He was down to the last bullet and when he fired the T-55 tanks suddenly burst into flames and blew up.)

"DARLING! EIJI-KUN! RO-CHAN! GERO-KUN!" voices were suddenly heard from Nana's radio

"Those voices.."

(Gero then looked on top of one of the sand dunes and saw a lone Olifant Mk2 MBT. It was equipped with a 105mm (L7) GT3B semi-automatic quick firing cannon equipped with a thermal gunner sight with laser rangefinder. The hatches on the tank slowly opened and four girls emerged from within. They were none other than Kay, Darjeeling, Mika, and Kaede.)

"You girls..why..why are you..here..?"

"We came as fast as we could..I'm sorry we're late, Eiji-kun.." Kaede said with a sad face

"Why..are you..apologizing? You just..saved..our lives…better late…than..never..right?"

"I knew it was you girls..even after I told you to stay back with the team.." Erika smiled

"But..but..we were so worried!" Kay continued to cry

"I know..thank you very much for saving them!" Erika bowed

(After the girls arrived with their Olifant tank the situation had calmed down and no more enemies appeared. The Boko Haram forces suffered 121 casualties and 17 surrendered including Abu Usaamah. The self proclaimed MI6 agents that kidnapped Gero also surrendered but only 5 survived including Bowe. On the other hand, RYOBU suffered no casualties and the African Special Forces incurred 12 wounded but were already treated by Nana)

"Everyone! If anyone's hungry or thirsty we brought along some food and drinks!" Kaede announced

"Eat up everyone! Thank you very much for your hard work and for saving Gero-kun!" Darjeeling said

(The girls then unloaded a duffle bag from the tank filled with onigiris and a cooler filled with ice cold drinks. Everyone was so happy for the food and accepted it with smiles on their faces. They started bonfires to keep warm from the cold night)

"Star-1 and 2 come down here and eat up! We have already set up the drone for surveillance to keep an eye out on our surroundings!" Erika radioed

"Roger!" both replied

"Oh! Amir! Long time no see!"

"It really has been a long time, commander Gero! I'm saddened that this is how we would meet and talk again."

"Same here, once we get out of this desert, let's have a drink with the rest of the team!"

"Haha, that sounds like a great idea!"

"Lt. Amir! Take some food and water then give it to the prisoners." Erika ordered

"Understood!"

"Where's the princess?"

"She is with the prisoners sir." Lt. Amari answered

"Please bring her here, it's not right for her to be with those people. But keep her restrained still!"

"Roger! Will be back shortly!"

(As Amir left the group, they had confused looks on their faces on why Gero wanted to let Charlotte join them even after all that she had done to him)

"I know what you guys are thinking..my answer is because she is also a victim here..and I think she didn't become Phantom's disciple knowing what he truly was.."

"I'm still going to kick her ass later.." Erika said

"Sure you will.."

(Amir then was back along with Charlotte as ordered. The princess had a very confused and irritated expression on her face)

"Why am I here?" she asked

"There she is! Come here and sit! Put some food in you!"

"No thank you, I'm not hungry.."

(Right after refusing, Charlotte's stomach grumbled loudly telling everyone she was indeed starving and she got really embarrassed and blushed)

"Your stomach says the opposite.."

"Ugh..I can't believe this is happening.."

(Charlotte then sat down with them and ate one of the onigiris silently. Gero then noticed that Kay was missing from the group and got worried about her)

"Where's Kay?"

"She's over there.." Naomi pointed at the last T-55 that was destroyed and was now burning bright and Kay was staring at it

"Kay was the gunner of the Olifant.." Kaede said

"She took the shot?"

"Yes, at first it was Mika that volunteered to be the gunner but Kay insisted." Darjeeling said

"She said she wanted to be of use to you this time, Ro-chan." Mika said

"Help me up.."

(The girls then helped Gero walk towards Kay and wanted to comfort her because he knew exactly what was on her mind. Kay was thinking about the lives of the crew inside the T-55 tank that she just destroyed. The fact that she killed them was finally settling in her mind. Gero then suddenly got in front of her and blocked her view of the burning tank. He hugged her as tight as he could with one arm since his right shoulder was injured.)

"I..I killed them.."

"I know..and I'm sorry that you had to experience this..because of me.."

"It's not like that..I don't blame you for what happened..I made the decision on my own and pulled the trigger.."

"Even so..this is something that you won't easily forget.."

"I was prepared for that..but I don't regret what I did..because if I hadn't done what I did then you would've been killed..and that would've broken me even more.." Kay started to cry softly on Gero's chest

"It's okay..everything is going to be fine..you're going to be okay..I'm here for you..everyone's here for you.."

"Was I..was I useful to you? Darling?"

"It's not about being useful or not!"

(Gero then leaned in and gave Kay a kiss on the lips. Kay was surprised because this is the first time that Gero showed any kind of affection to her. Gero did not do this because of the mood but because he has truly fallen in love with Kay.)

"Darling.."

"You saved my life and for that I'm forever thankful, Kay.."

"E-Ehem.."

(Gero and Kay's moment was interrupted by Mika, Darjeeling and Kaede who was getting jealous behind them)

"I'm truly happy for Kay but I think it's unfair that only Kay gets a reward right?" Darjeeling said

"We demand equality! We worked hard as well!" Kaede cutely protested

"That's right Ro-chan, where's our kiss? " Mika teased

"Ehh?"

"Darling, can you also give them rewards? It was Kaede's idea to steal a tank and go here, Mika was the loader and it was her idea to bring food and water, and Darjeeling was the one that drove the tank!" Kay said

"I see..wait, you stole that Olifant?"

"Ah…"

"..." it got silent suddenly

"Well anyways, you're right, I guess all of you worked together huh? I will be fair and give you rewards too but I will also be strict with them!"

"What do you mean by strict?" Darjeeling asked

"I shall give a reward befitting of how big your contribution was. Since Kay's contribution was a big deal, that was her reward."

"Then what about us?" Kaede asked

(Gero then gave Mika, Darjeeling, and Kaede each a kiss on the cheek. All three of them blushed and they saw that Gero was blushing like a tomato as well)

"I'm afraid you're going to have to be satisfied with this..since doing more than this would be too much for me now.."

"I'm very happy, thank you Ro-chan!" Mika blushed

"Well then, I guess I better step up my game to get better rewards!" Darjeeling blushed

"Eiji-kun..can I get another one on the other cheek?" Kaede asked

"Don't get carried away now..too much greed is bad.."

"O-Okay.."

"YOUNG MASTER!"

(A sudden loud voice was heard from behind and when looked it was Nana with a very scary and angry look on her face)

"N-Nana..what's wrong?"

"Don't "what's wrong" me! Do you have an idea of how badly injured you are!? You should not be walking around like this! Your stitches might tear and you'll bleed all over again!"

"S-Sorry..I was just with the girls here for a bit.."

"Girls? What girls?"

(Gero looked behind him and saw that the girls already left him and were already back at the campsite)

"Ehh? W-Where did.."

"ENOUGH EXCUSES! GO LAY DOWN AND REST RIGHT NOW!" Nana shouted

"I'M SO SORRY!"

(The girls were just ignoring Gero who was being carried on a stretcher while being brutally scolded by Nana)

"Wow..this is the first time I've seen Nana-senpai this mad!" Klara reacted

"Is she always like this?" Kay asked

"She is usually quiet even in action but when it comes to her patients and treatment she becomes like a devil drill sergeant." Sanada chuckled

"I remember the last time she got angry at us for not resting after getting wounded. It gave me nightmares even after recovering!" Sakurai said

(As they were having cheerful conversations, Charlotte on the other hand was getting irritated seeing them nonchalantly ignore the fact that a gruesome battle had just ended hours ago)

"How can you all smile and laugh like this? Even after killing so many people?" Charlotte asked

"Should we be crying for those dead terrorists then?" Erika asked

"Not only them but also the MI6 agents! Why did you have to kill them too!"

"You mean the self-proclaimed agents that betrayed you and were going to hand you over to Abu Usaamah? Those agents?" Alisa said

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news princess, but they were fake. Your British government told us that they didn't send any agents here under orders of the Queen."

"I don't believe you!"

"Does it look like I care if you believe me or not?"

"I'm not sure if this will be enough for you but I took photos of the face of the agents that were here and sent them to MI6 HQ to verify their identities." Assam said

(She then showed the response from MI6 Headquarters to Charlotte and she saw with her own eyes that the agents that were with her do not exist anywhere in the British government database. She was truly shocked of this and couldn't believe it)

"W-What is the meaning of this?!"

"This means princess, that you were fooled perfectly by a bunch of nobodies, got controlled like a puppet, then thrown away when you were no longer of use to them." Kal said

"If that's still not enough then ask Barret yourself since he will be here soon anyways. Or do you not trust Barrett as well?"

"..."

"That's the problem with you people, the moment you hear the word 'Queen' you all start to become mindless idiots that believe the most ridiculous lies. But since that Queen is your mother then it's her fault that her daughter has become like this." Erika said

"DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK ILL OF MY MOTHER! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?! YOU'RE JUST A KILLER!"

"And you're just a stupid, pathetic, and naïve princess who almost got Gero and yourself killed."

"Alright, everybody calm down, maybe we should let the princess know who we are first before calling each other nasty things." Sanada said

"It's a waste of time since she won't believe it anyways.."

"Even so, I'm sorry for the late introductions, Princess Charlotte, my name is Sanada and I'm a Second Lieutenant from the Japanese Special Forces Group. We are here because we were informed by Erika-sama that Gero-sama was abducted."

"What would the special forces of Japan take orders from her?"

"The reason we took orders from Erika-sama is because she is our commanding officer." Shun said

"What?! Commanding officer?!"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Itsumi Erika, First Lieutenant of the Japanese Special Forces Group."

"The Iron Rose of Berlin is a soldier?! How old are you?!" Charlotte reacted

"Does it matter? Well I'm definitely younger than you, that's for sure.."

"Are you all soldiers as well?"

(The rest of RYOBU then told her their names and ranks. She was very surprised that some of the tankers from the JNST are soldiers and it was even their first time killing a person even if they were terrorists)

"I don't understand, why are soldiers saving and protecting a murderer like Gero?!"

"HOW DARE YOU CALL GERO A MURDERER!" Ono shouted

"It's the truth ain't it?! He killed my teacher!"

"AND YOUR TEACHER KILLED-"

"Ono, that's enough!" Erika suddenly interrupted

"Erika-san.."

"Telling her that isn't going to make it any easier for her to change her mind, even if it did, I believe that Gero should be the one to tell her that, don't you think?"

(Ono agrees with what Erika had just said but his anger was still not quelled. So he stood up and decided to take a walk)

"Where are you going?" Kaito asked

"Going to sweep the city once more, senpai. Got to make sure no terrorists are hiding." Ono answered

"Kaito-san, Takashi, can you go with him and make sure he doesn't do anything stupid." Erika ordered

"Roger that.."

(Kal and Takashi then left as well and caught up to Ono leaving the others)

"Tell me Charlotte, what kind of man was your teacher to you?" Erika asked

"Why do you care?"

"I don't give a shit about your teacher, I'm asking because that part of his life is the only information that we don't know about him since it was kept a secret from your government and even from your mother, the Queen."

"Fine, I'll tell you what I know, if you tell me what you know."

"Deal.."

(Charlotte then told Erika and the others about the man named Bryan Williams. She told them about how he trained her and the stuff he learned from him. She told him all that she knew about him and all the things that she didn't know about him as well)

"That's..all I know..it might not mean anything to any of you but to me all those memories mean the world to me. So please..tell me the life about my teacher that I didn't know.."

"Damn it, the fact that everything you told us is true pisses me off even more.." Erika said

"You believe me?" Charlotte asked

"Erika-sama has the capability to detect if someone is lying based on the tone of their voice and their facial expression. So if she says you're not lying then it's true!" Sakurai said

"Assam, hand me the folder."

"Here.."

"What's that?" Charlotte asked

"When I found out from Victoria that you were Phantom's disciple, I asked Assam to compile every information that we have on him, all of these are from every country and nation that knows your teacher."

(Erika was about to give Charlotte the folder containing Phantom's information but just before handing it to her she hesitated)

"I know you're going to say yes but I'm going to ask you this anyways, are you sure you want to know that part of his life? The life of Phantom? Because it would turn your whole world upside down and you will look at everything and everyone very differently from now on."

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Alright then, you only get to read this once, so take your time and digest every single word in every sentence that you read."

"Understood."

(Erika then gave Charlotte the files containing the information of Phantom. She slowly read everything just as she was told and with every piece of information she found out her expression worsened. The more she found out about the other life of her teacher the deeper her heart sank. It was as if all the memories she had with him turned into lies. In the end Charlotte had an empty look on her face after reading through everything. Erika grabbed the files from her hands and tossed it on the fire. The princess stared at the burning files as it turns into ash)

"Judging by the dead look on your face I'm assuming that I don't have to convince you that everything you saw was not a lie." Erika said

"I saw my mother's signature at the end of the files. The only time her signature is on any kind of document is when it has been handed to her personally. I have no reason to not believe in this."

"Should we be thankful that you are not that much of an idiot? Or should we be worried that you believe everything as long as your mother is connected to it?" Kal asked

"I..don't.."

(Charlotte suddenly started to lose her balance and eventually passed out. Sakurai caught her head just in time before she fell)

"Oh dear, Kal made the princess faint!" Shun teased

"I just stated the truth!"

"She passed out from shock. All that info must've been too heavy for her." Sanada said

"Take her to Nana and let her rest but keep her restrained." Erika ordered

"Roger!"

"Is there a need to restrain her? Seeing her like this makes me pity her a little bit." Alisa asked

"I'm not taking any more chances. There's a big possibility that the whole Royal Family is compromised so the more hands we can play the better."

"Is that even possible?!" Klara asked

"If it is then we're all fucked.."

(An hour later General Nehanda arrives with reinforcements to relieve Lt. Amir and his men. Erika informed the General of the possible Boko Haram base located to their west where the T-55 tanks came from so the General sent his soldiers to investigate the location. The lockdown was still in effect at the Semisphere and the Royal Moroccan Army arrived to provide security. The Tank Meisters also arrived at the abandoned desert city after hearing what had happened)

"I'M VERY SORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING SIR GERO! I'LL ACCEPT ANY PUNISHMENT!" Barrett bowed as he apologized

"It's fine Barrett-san no punishment is necessary. You couldn't have known that this would happen, none of you could've. Let's actually grab a drink after I recover and preferably with drinks not spiked with drugs this time.."

"Yes sir Gero!"

"You really do have the Devil's luck, don't you?" Col. Alonso said

"More like the Devil's protection, if Erika-sama hadn't acted quickly then we would've been staring at a headless corpse right about now." Col. Bong-Cha said

"Ahaha, I can't deny that.."

"Since Boko Haram is involved in this then is it confirmed that Pandora is also involved?" Bryson asked

"We're about to find that out. Erika said she has a little demonstration for us. Let's have a good watch shall we?"

(Gero and the Tank Meisters then headed towards the center of the city where everyone was gathering. Meanwhile, Charlotte was just waking up after passing out and the first person she saw beside her was Victoria who had tagged along with Barrett because she was very worried for her.)

"Victoria?"

"Your majesty! Oh thank goodness you're alright! I was so worried!"

"Looks like you were right.."

"About what?"

"The decision I made, I regret it now. I really messed up big time."

"Oh it's alright, everyone makes mistakes! Everything is going to be fine! Don't worry!"

(The sun was about to rise when suddenly they heard the loud commotion outside. They went out to check what was happening and they saw a lot of soldiers had gathered. Erika was standing in the middle together with two prisoners who were Abu Usaamah and Bowe that were tied up and kneeling down in front of her.)

"Looks like everyone is here! To start things off, SALUTE TO THE SUPREME COMMANDER!" Erika ordered

(Erika then saluted Gero who was sitting down on a chair among the crowd. Every soldier then saluted him as well, including General Nehanda and the Tank Meisters. The only ones not saluting were Kay, Darjeeling, Mika, and Kaede since they were not soldiers but they too bowed their heads for Gero. The princess and Victoria also did not salute nor bow and were just surprised at the sight that was presented to them)

"At ease everyone.."

"W-Wait..supreme commander?!" Victoria reacted

"I thought that you were the commanding officer here, Iron Rose?" Charlotte asked

"I am the commanding officer of these soldiers, but Gero is my commanding officer, and I only take orders from him."

"What do you mean by that?! I thought that he was a terrorist!" Victoria said

(Everyone then started laughing after hearing what Victoria said. They laughed because someone actually thought that of all people, Gero would be a terrorist)

"Looks like this asshole here really was great in his acting huh?" Erika said pointing to Bowe

"Victoria, sir Gero is not a terrorist and I am willing to bet my life on that." Barret said

"Coach..then who are you?"

"My name is Nishizumi Gero, Heir to the Nishizumi Family, and Overall Commander of the Joint Task Force that I put together to destroy the Global Terrorist Organization Pandora."

"Pandora?" Charlotte asked

"They are the real terrorists, the real enemies, and your teacher, Bryan Williams, was part of that organization. That guy named Bowe is probably one of them as well."

(Charlotte once again was overflowing with thoughts and then she realized that what she did here was probably the worst thing she could have ever done if all of it were true. She just aided the bad guys to kidnap the commander of the good guys and almost got him killed)

"Do you now realize the severity of your actions, princess?" Erika asked

"I..I didn't know.."

"Of course you didn't fucking know! You're a naive princess who has spent her entire life turning a blind eye to reality! What you did tonight was nothing short of a crime itself."

"It's not the princess' fault! It's that guy's fault for deceiving us!" Victoria defended

"You are definitely wrong about that, in a situation where there is a deceiver and a deceived, the person that lets themselves get deceived is the one at fault. You, Victoria Tinsley, are also an accomplice to her crimes since you kept it a secret before I forced it out of you."

"I was trying to protect Charlotte!" Victoria shouted

"Protect her? You just made it a lot worse for her for letting her go through with this shit. With the power granted to me by her mother, the Queen, I could kill you here right now and nobody would bat an eye." Erika threatened

"Ha! In the end you're just a killer that's no different than other criminals!"

"Wrong again.."

(Erika then pulled out her pistol and shot Bowe on his head. Charlotte and Victoria were shocked at seeing a person getting killed right in front of them as easy as that.)

"I'm a soldier with a license to kill..and I only kill those that point their weapons at Gero and everyone I care about."

"P-Please, spare Victoria, it was all my fault! I'll do anything so please, stop killing anymore!" Charlotte said

"Your majesty! Stop saying that!"

"Not enough.."

(Erika then pointed her pistol at Abu Usaamah's head and was about to pull the trigger but was stopped by Charlotte)

"W-Wait! I heard what they were talking about last night just before you arrived! They were talking about Gero being traded for something. I think it was a boat somewhere and when Bowe asked him how many he answered a little over 3,000."

"Really now? Let's ask Bowe if that's true shall we? Hey, is what she said true? Hmm?"

"..."

"Oh right, your brains are splattered all over the sand, then that just leaves the rat."

(Erika then walked towards Abu Usaamah and kicked him on his back. She then heavily stepped on the hand with the dismembered fingers making Usaamah writhe in pain)

"So, is it true? Is there a boat? Where is it?"

"T-There is..in a port in Lagos, N-Nigeria.."

"What about the number? What's 3,000?"

(Abu Usaamah hesitated to answer which pissed Erika off more so she stomped on his injured hand and made him scream in pain)

"Agghhh! P-People! Those are people!" Usaamah screamed

"People?!" Victoria reacted

"So what you're trying to tell everyone here is, you started to kidnap people again and you wanted to trade those people to Pandora so that you could kill Alpha?" Erika asked

"T-That's right..it was the only way for us to be able to get a chance to kill him!"

"It was a good plan I have to say.."

"Darling, you shouldn't praise them.." Kay said

"General Nehanda, please contact whoever the fuck is in charge in Nigeria now and tell them to go look for that boat and to find it quickly."

"Yes, sir Gero!"

"Last question for the rat, where was the boat headed?" Erika asked

"America.." Usaamah answered

(Even though they knew that Pandora was still active in America they were still shocked that the boat filled with 5,000 kidnapped Africans was headed there.)

"Commander Bryson, explain." Erika said

"I have no excuses ma'am. I will accept any kind of punishment." Bryson bowed

"Stop that Bryson-san, looks like we have to finish all our business in America faster than expected, this will be your jurisdiction so work on it please."

"Yes sir Gero, I will see to it right away." Bryson saluted

"Very good, now then, how shall we proceed with Abu Usaamah?"

"I heard that the U.S. government has placed a bounty on his head." Assam said

"How much?" Takashi asked

"I believe it was 9 Million dollars to capture him alive."

"Phew! That's a lot of money!" Alisa said

"Why the hell would they want someone like him alive?" Naomi asked

"Everyone has their reasons just like we have our own. So what do we say about things like that, Erika?"

"This.."

(Erika then pointed her pistol again on Abu Usaamah's head and this time she pulled the trigger and blasted his brains all over the sand. It was the second time Charlotte and Victoria see a man killed before them and it made them sick to the point of puking)

"W-WHY DID YOU KILL HIM!? YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT!" Charlotte shouted

"To all of you that do not know the reason why I did that, just like the princess here, I shall tell you now. This animal is responsible for the kidnappings, rape, torture, and murder of hundreds of thousands of lives in Africa. This animal's life is not worth anything, not a single thing! The lives they ruined and the lives they took are worth more than nine fucking million dollars! So if we find out that any of you are getting paid to keep animals like these alive, I WILL KILL YOU MYSELF! DO YOU GET ME?!" Erika shouted

"WE GET YOU MA'AM!" everyone responded

"T-This is wrong..this isn't justice..it's murder.."

"Here we go again with your naïve thinking, tell me this princess, if Abu Usaamah kidnapped your good friend Victoria Tinesly, raped her endlessly every day, tortured her in ways you could never imagine, and killed her in the end by chopping of her head. Would you still be saying that?"

"I.."

"Didn't think so..wake up Charlotte..this is the real world we live in. A cruel and dark world where you could lose everything in an instant if you show the tiniest bit of weakness."

"I still think that what you did was wrong..there must've been another way for him to pay for his acts of evil.." Charlotte said

"Speaking of paying for acts of evil, how should you pay for yours? Grab her.." Erika ordered

(Sakurai and Nana then suddenly grabbed Victoria by force and held her down. Charlotte wanted to help her but they pointed their guns on Victoria's head which forced Charlotte to stop)

"What the hell are you doing?!"

"I told you a while ago, she is an accomplice to your crimes. I have the authority to kill her here right now so that all your crimes will be forgiven. What do you think princess?" Erika said

"Like hell I'm going to agree to that!"

"I'm fine with that.." Victoria suddenly said

"You don't need to listen to her!"

"She's right about me not being able to stop you from doing what you did. I was the one closest to you and yet I failed and put your life in danger as well as the life of the White Tiger and everyone else that saved the both of you. If giving my life will let you live on then I will gladly do so without hesitation."

"Victoria!"

"How admirable of you, looks like the princess has a loyal friend after all." Erika said

(Charlotte then had an idea of how both her and Victoria could survive in the situation they were in. She removed her glove and threw it at Erika challenging her to a duel)

"I, Charlotte Artura Georgina, hereby challenge you to a duel!"

"Your majesty!" Victoria shouted

"What is it with you and duels?" Erika asked

"If I win, you will let Victoria and me go."

"And if you lose?"

"Then do as you please with our lives."

"Hmm, alright then, if I win then I will kill Victoria and you will be my slave for the rest of your life. How about that?"

"I accept."

"Please don't do this Charlotte! Your life is far more important than mine!"

"I'm sorry Victoria, for everything, but this was all I could think of."

(Erika then picks up the glove thrown at her showing that she has accepted the challenge. She had a very evil smile on her face because this was what she wanted all along and the duel was all part of her plan.)

"I, Itsumi Erika, accept your challenge!"

Coming Up Next : Chapter 107 - Repentance

Author's Note :

Hi everyone! Here's the chapter! We get to see the aftermath of the battle and how Kay and the other girls worked together to save Gero. Justice has been served by Erika in a very dark and badass way! I didn't want to make the princess of Britain look bad but I do think that some higher up officials in our real world are like this. They are so naïve to the point that they don't know how dark and cruel the world is.

What do you think about Erika's character development throughout the story since the beginning? At first she was just a young high school girl that loved Senshado and hated the idea of boys joining, then she became a badass second in command of a Joint Task Force fighting against Pandora!

We'll have a duel between the princess and Erika in the next chapter so stay tuned! Stay safe everyone!
