UC 0079, December 30 5:30 PM The artificial sun was setting beyond a horizon, finally this day have come, the day that the officials of CRADLE feared the most, but is also the day the Federation anticipated the most. Receiving the message that Granada has fallen, Carissa immediately gathered the Supreme Council for meetings, but what she was was disappointing. In the wide and dark room with only a round table of around 20 seats, and a large screen, Carissa was sitting in one of those seats, the room had less than 5 officials. Some were killed in the battle of Granada, some have threw their responsibility down and fled from the colonies, and some have just not attend. Seeing the poor attendance, Carissa had nothing more to speak. There was nothing to speak about politics at a time like this, she quickly dismissed the council and stormed back into her office. As she swung the door open in anger, she saw several generals already there waiting for her command. Sitting down on her rolling chair, she gave a deep sigh. The enemy is already approaching Elisard City, the capital of Side 3. There were even reports that several outer colonies of Side 3 has began to surrender to the Federation as well. One of the generals was brave enough to open his mouth and speak, knowing that it is the worst possible time to even talk to the enraged tyrant. "Admiral, please evacuate to a bunker, this place is far too dangerous..." he suggested, Carissa did not speak a word. Another general decided to risk his life making a different suggestion. "Admiral, please surrender. There is no way our forces can over come that number..." before he finished his words, Carissa grabbed the pistol next to her hand and pulled the trigger without a second thought. The bullet soared through the air and blasted through the general's hat as he slumped to the floor in panic, no one thought Carissa would actually pull the trigger against her own men, but she really did, even if it was for a bluff. "As long as I am alive CRADLE will never be destroyed, how dare you suggest to me to surrender you scum! If you have time to think about such pointless acts why dont you put some effort into thinking how to solve this situation!" she raged and threw her pistol down onto the table again. Swiping her arms across her desk, she knocked off piles of paper and stationary onto the ground and spread a map open. "I am not leaving, you guys can go hide your ass into a bunker if you want! Those of you that are willing to fight with me to the end gather around and lets think of a plan!" she shouted, slowly the generals looked at each other and then collectively decided to continue following this leader, even the person that was just an inch from death joined. The talks were long, and it lasted almost two hours, but somehow the formation is set, the generals quickly scrambled off to mobilize their troops. Standing up from the couch, a pale youngster that came into the room in the middle of the meeting took a few steps up towards Carissa's desk and unplugged his headphones. "Looks like its decided. And then? What should I do?" he questioned with no respect, he did not fear Carissa like the other generals, he was only a teenager, but very arrogant and saw people as nothing but fragile glass that will shatter upon his touch. Scratching his white hair, he slowly wrapped his headphones around his ipod and slipped it in his pocket. "Accelerator, I will need you to take out the entire Federation fleet thats coming from the east. I'll give you a MS suitable for this job, you can do it right?" Carissa threw a USB at the white teenager as Accelerator caught it in his hands, apparently it contains the data about the Psycommu system collected from both the Elmeth and Zeong. Looking at it in disgust, he just crushed it in his hands and threw the shards of it behind his shoulder. Without a second word, he turned and left the room, but when he got to the door he turned around again. "Hmph, who do you think youre talking to. Watch yourself, Carissa Elisard...I will turn you inside out the day you cant entertain me anymore..." he spit out a sentence of rudeness and walked out of the room. From birth Carissa has never been spoken to with such impudence before, but there was nothing she could do against this person, and she also needs to rely on his power. As the strongest person ever to exist, he will without fail destroy everything that stands in his way. |

In a far and desolated colony of Side 3, filled with nature and far from Elisard city, a colony with no strategical importance was chosen to be developed into a tourist site. The beautiful nature here attracts not only tourists, but also rich politicians, aristocrats in particular to purchase land in this area. Amongst such people, the Kanda household have purchased almost 1/3 of the colony just for their villa. But such a beautiful villa is reduced to the role as the last place the Kanda family could run to. The Kanda villa was placed in the middle of a fancily decorated forest with low trees inside a huge fence that at least went for several kilometers. Even the road that leads to the house itself is far enough to tire a person out from walking. Nightfall of this colony is usually shrouded in darkness, there were very little light pollution that covered the starry sky, the entire Kanda villa did not even have any lights turned in. After putting her daughter to sleep, Tokiomi walked over to his desk and looked out the window. There was only a dark sky that appeared in front of his eyes, although he was still lamenting after his wife's death, there were more important things for him to think about. "Sorry for the wait, my deepest apologies, your majesty." he bowed with his respect, very unusual for a person with much pride like Tokiomi to put his head down. BGM A golden figure was leaning against the wall, eying the red politician in annoyance and sneered at him. "Hmph, fine with me. What do you want to discuss, calling me out so late at night? You better have a damn good reason otherwise the crime of you making me come here for no reason is heavy...Tokiomi..." Gilgamesh stood up straight, deciding to hear what this person had to say. Gilgamesh always though Tokiomi was a boring person, nonetheless he maintains his contract with this politician just for the sake of his own nation flourishing. "The war is difficult, we might have difficulty to continue purchasing helium-3 at a time like this. I am wondering if we can negotiate a price drop to some extent." Tokiomi asked, Gilgamesh eyed him with no interest and waved his hand in dismissal, stating he does not care and will take effective measures when HE thinks is necessary. There was a brief pause, then Tokiomi spoke again, still without raising his head, not daring to look at Gilgamesh without his permission. "And one more thing, may your majesty please lead parts of your glorious army in aid of our war?" Upon hearing that Gilgamesh's eyes widened and stomped on the ground in rage. Slamming his fist onto the hard wall he was enraged at how Tokiomi even made him think of participating in this war. "Youre telling me to use my prized army against mongrels like the Federation? Your mouth has grown fat these few days havent it? Huh? For a low servant like you, how dare you even make me have the thought of joining your war. Your impudence is punishable by ten thousand deaths, dog!" Gilgamesh insulted, the beads on his golden bracelets clanged against each other, his authority is unmatched, but so was his ego. Hearing this, Tokiomi immediately kneeled down to show apology. He did not dare to look up, but he knows Gilgamesh was enraged by what he just said, just that he couldnt believe that the golden king would be so angry with him. "My deepest apologies, your majesty! You are indeed right, I do not have such right to even say such words, please forgive me. The King of Kings, King of Heroes!" Tokiomi apologized and praised his king. Gilgamesh clicked his tongue and stormed out of the room, slamming the door so hard that it almost broke. Slowly Tokiomi got back up onto his feet and relaxed on the couch, tired of all the things that happened. "My my...why did you have to return from Axis at the worst timing possible..." he cursed behind the king's back. |

December 31, 0:00 AM Kotomine Kirei's family has had close ties with the Kanda family for the past few generations, whenever the Kanda has a house, there is a small church as well. On the outside, the church is the embodiment of faith from the old Roman Catholic religion, but deep in the inside dwells a lost soul. The small church's design is very similar to the one in Granada, all the churches were built by the previous head of the Kanda household as a symbol of friendship with the Kotomine family, just like Kirei every generation of his family worked for the Holy Church since the old ages before humans were up at space. Following the death of his father, Kirei became the sole successor to the large amounts of structures left behind with little to no visit every month. Although there is a thick population of Catholics in the Colonies, most people visit larger and more formal churches. Despite Kirei's proficiency as a priest, he is often beside Tokiomi and his recognition amongst his peers have been reduced to nothing but a political mirage. Swinging the wooden door rudely open, Gilgamesh stumbled into Kirei's chamber again. After raging at Tokiomi, he directly came to see how this lost soul was doing. Kirei's room was no different from the church in Granada, very simple as the priest did not know what joy was. Of course there were several bottles of valuable wine put on display in one of the shelves, Gilgamesh ignored those for now as he threw himself down on the soft and comfortable couch. "Hmm? Kirei, where are you going?" the golden king asked, seeing Kirei packing a small suitcase, filling it up with some files and several changes of clothes. Slamming the cover shut he locked it and picked it up. "Wrong timing Gilgamesh, I was ordered to support Rimea-sama back at Side 3, I am going to leave now. Forgive me but I will listen to your complaints some other day. Drink anything you want here but keep the place tidy..." he told Gilgamesh as he turned his back against the king. Unlike Tokiomi he only showed the amount of respect he thinks Gilgamesh deserved, though Kirei still did not dare to speak up against the golden king. Also unlike how Gilgamesh was enraged against the smallest disrespect from Tokiomi, he seems to allow Kirei to talk with him like a normal person. Just when Kirei was about to take a step forward, the old fashioned telephone on his table rang. Picking it up he did not even say hello, but waited for the other side to speak. "...ok, thank you" Kirei gave a cold reply, but there was a smirk on his face. Taking note of the rare sign of emotions the priest displayed, Gilgamesh walked over and put his arms on Kirei's shoulder like how the boss of the mafia would. "Seems like you just got good news..." Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes, whispering like a snake next to the priest's ears. Brushing his arm off and pulling up his suitcase, he blankly stared at his "companion's" blood red eyes. The faint smirk on his face somehow did not disappear, but Kirei did not notice it. "The assassination of a certain politician has been complete, nothing more, nothing less..." Kirei replied without wiping that unconscious smirk off. "Now then, I am going to go now...what would you do Gilgamesh?" the priest tempted the king, much to Gilgamesh's surprise, it seems like Kirei has found something in the battle of Granada. Of course, Gilgamesh himself was nearby watching his every action much to his own amusement. "Hahahahahaha! You never cease to surprise me! Very well, I will go to Side 3 with you. Quickly prepare the shuttle!" Gilgamesh ordered, he did not need to pack anything. Whatever he needed he would just buy on the spot and throw it away when he sees no use of it anymore. There is nothing he cannot buy with his immense wealth. But before Kirei walked out of the room, Gilgamesh stopped him. "Kirei, seems like you finally understand what joy is. Now if I ask you what do you desire, how would you reply?" Stopping for a moment, Kirei turned around. He was thinking, but also doubting. He did not feel joy at all from what he was doing. Although he did feel satisfaction for a brief moment, everything he did seems to be like some kind of a fruitless effort to him. "I dont know, I cannot see what I desire.." he gave his honest thoughts and walked out of his room. For some reasons he heard Gilgamesh burst out in laughter again, ignoring it he slowly climbed up the stairs and headed towards the Kanda villa where there was a shuttle waiting. "Well well, it seems like its going to be up god himself to decide when you will discover your desires. But those assassinations, heh...you think I didnt see that stack of paper you stuffed into your suitcase? Interesting man, Kotomine Kirei..." Gilgamesh mumbled to himself, recognizing the faces on the photos listed down on Kirei's assassination list. They were Tokiomi's political allies, but also several generals in the military ranks. The show is far from over, Gilgamesh thought. Edited by Sunrise, Sep 11 2012, 04:14 PM.

December 31, 7:55 AM After the destruction of the Federation's symbolic Argama at the battle of A Baoa Qu, most of its crew members were no longer used on the frontlines, with the exception of two. Allen and Sayla were immediately transferred to the front lines once again. While Allen is obviously displaying Newtype abilities valuable for the Federation, Sayla also has faint signs of being a Newtype as well. The two are stationed on a Salamis ship in the 7th fleet of the Federation. The intended target of this fleet is to attack Elisard City from the east and hold captive of the royals, Carissa and Rimea. It is the first time Allen noticed how small he was. The Argama was like paradise compared to the new environment. It has only been a day since he was transferred onto a new ship, and he was already hated for being arrogant, and punched just being the fact that he was a Spacenoid. Luckily Sayla was not harmed in any way, but Allen has suffered several physical beatings from the ordinary soldiers on board. Even if he himself had no intention of being arrogant, his attitude just felt like that. In exchange of his transfer, he was given a new unit of the Gundam. Since he managed to recover the Core Fighter of his old Gundam, the data was immediately used and Allen was able to quickly adjust the new unit back to he same feeling he had with his old one. "Perfect Gundam...it has the complete version of magnetic coating and sports higher firepower compared to before. I will end this war with it...!" Allen muttered to himself, even though the Gundam appeared the same as before, it was the insides that was important. The operation will begin within 5 minutes, Allen is the vanguard for the first wave of MS team. Sayla floated up behind him, she did not change yet. The first wave of MS team consists of rather small numbers of skilled pilots to open up path for the others. The second wave and third wave will swarm CRADLE in numbers, this is the last fight and CRADLE has nowhere to retreat anymore. The Federation does not have to hold anything back. Sayla held Allen's hand from behind and looked him in the eye. "Allen, thank you for accepting my brother. And thank you for accepting me...I would of given up if it was not because of you back then in A Baoa Qu. When I stayed with you for the last moments, I felt your heart..." she blushed a bit. "Sayla, I have been holding these words in my chest for all these years. I was afraid I was not fit for you, thats why I never wanted to let these words out. But now, when I felt your heart back then...I am confident I can say it to you..." Allen grabbed her hand too as she embraced him. The two floated in the air, somehow the hanger was empty of people. Sayla was pushed onto a wall, Allen slowly put his face close to hers. They can feel each other breath. I love you It was a first experience for both of them, but Sayla was glad her first kiss was with him. Waving good bye as it was almost time for Allen to launch, she had a smile. "Fight hard Allen, it will be over if we win this...and, we can do the continue it after you come back..." she blushed, Allen waved good bye as well and floated into the Gundam's cockpit. "Yes, I will finish this, and take back the daily lives with her!" Allen encouraged himself, slipping his helmet on and turning the system of his MS on as well. He was ready for the last battle, hoping it to be the last time he has to step on the battlefield as well. The screen displayed RX-78-PF Perfect Gundam. Spoiler: click to toggle

BGM "Lets go, for our future! Allen Ray, Perfect Gundam...launch!!" Allen shouted over the radio, the lights turned green as the catapult sling the Gundam out into space. The void he has saw so many times, the colony wall that he witness so many times, it was all the same, no different than before. While it appeared to be no different, Allen had a confidence under his heart without much reason. It appears that everything will go well, seeing from a far the battle has already begun and the same flashes of death appeared from time to time, he got himself ready to fight as well. Holding two bazookas the Perfect Gundam charged forward into the enemy lines. Seeing ally GMs and Moebius units get into formation, Allen was alone without a formation. He was not told anything about how he should act, but he will act like like how he always did. Basically the only formation Allen had on board the Argama was he charging up in front with artillery suits such as the Guncannon fire from behind while he distracts the enemy. "Hayate is no longer alive, I have to work hard for him too. I cant rely on Mu-san forever too, but im not alone. As long as you will watch my back, Sayla!" thinking back. He felt a huge pressure from in front, but it still had some distance, Allen decided to focus on what is coming in front of him. Shells of ships turrets and main cannons were flying all across the area, it was impossible to tell what which sparkle was a star and which one was a shell. The Gundam zoomed down and circled around a CRADLE Musai ship, giving one shot with a bazooka into the bridge to destroy it. Keep on moving, Allen kicked off the side of the destroyed ship and kept on gaining acceleration without an increase in thruster output, shooting down several Zakus and Doms in the process. Other than the bazookas, the Perfect Gundam had more hard points on its backpack compared to the original, while it could utilize many of the GM variation optional equipments such as missile launchers or a 280 mm back cannon, but it would reduce the speed of his unit, Allen did not do so. Carrying only the equipments he was use to carrying, the Gundam flew across the battlefield with two bazookas, a beam rifle and shield. Exactly the same equipments he went and fought at A Baoa Qu. However something caught his attention. Allen felt the presence that he felt earlier get closer, and there was an explosion from the Federation lines. "This feeling...Frontal? No, its different...who is it...who is there?" he muttered to himself. While he was caught off guard, a Gelgoog's beam rifle destroyed one of his bazookas. "Hmm? Damn, I need to focus!" Allen cursed and took distance, but the enemy chased after him. Sliding to avoid a Rick Dom's heat saber from behind and the Gelgoog's shot simultaneously, Allen fired the bazooka at the Gelgoog, smashing it right into the cockpit, then threw the empty bazooka at the Dom behind, quickly pulling his beam rifle out and delivering the finishing blow. "Whats this? This...unusual pressure. While similar to Frontal, it is something completely different. Yes, its a huge...black aura. Where is it coming from?" Allen looked around, there was another explosion from the Federation lines. Allen was getting worried, did CRADLE attack their lines from behind or what. Upon normal circumstances, it would almost be impossible for CRADLE to have broken past the offense of the Federation and initiate a counter attack, now that the second wave has launched the chances of this is even slimmer. But Allen cannot get this thought off his mind, a power foe is waiting for him. Firing his beam rifle and destroying a Zaku, Allen decided to see it for his own eyes. He could not believe what he saw from a distance, another Federation Salamis ship snapped in half. There were beams appearing out of nowhere, Allen immediately recognized the attack. Remote weapons called bits, the same way the Elmeth attacked. The feeling Allen was getting was the resonance between Newtypes, the same kind of people call for each other subconsciously. Allen was able to easily detect where his enemy was attacking from. Seeing several GMs have already flew towards that direction, Allen decided to go as well but something stopped him in his paths. The GMs that boosted over to the area that appeared to have nothing was quickly gunned down by the bits. Seeing the lifeless debris of his allies, Allen proceeded with caution. The enemy still cannot be seen, so Allen assumed it is not a MA like the Elmeth. What appeared to him eventually was a white Rick Dom. Although it looked similar to the ordinary Rick Dom, it was completely white. So white like the snow, not a scratch on its pure white armor. Only its head was painted with the red lining and the mono eye system that made it a CRADLE MS. One thing Allen noticed was its huge backpacks that folded out like wings. Seeing the bits launched from the the Dom return to the huge wing carriers, Allen assumed the bits were carried in there. Instead of a huge psycommu system designed for MA installed, the white Dom used two large Bit Carriers that doubled as extra boosters. Noticing the Dom was empty handed, Allen was fairly confident that its only way of attack were the bits and its large size of the bit carrier will hinder its agility. "This guy, I cannot see anything from him...what is he..." Allen narrowed his eyes, not being able to read any movements from his white enemy. "Huh? Whats this? This guy approached without me knowing. Interesting, I will play with you..." Accelerator was lying back in his seat, not even his seat belts were fastened. Pulling out the headphones from his ear, he paused the music and let it float around in the air without gravity. The pale youngster did not even wear a normal suit, just a helmet that had wires running through it and connecting to different devices in his cockpit. |

This person is dangerous! I have to kill him here or he will bring disaster to the world! Allen's instincts told him, the pilot of the Psycommu Rick Dom, also known as Schnee Weiss meaning Snow White is a dangerous existence. Villian told him Newtypes are born to understand each other, not as tools for killing, Allen believed this and will believe it to the day he die. However he felt no means for the enemy in front to even try understanding, he knows that words will not do any good against this enemy. There was nothing but madness, chaos, destruction and negative emotions oozing out from the black aura of the Schnee Weiss. Allen raised his beam rifle and fired a shot, but one of the bits flew from above and intercepted the beam rifle's blast with its own blast of beam, canceling each other out. Allen has never seen such movements, unlike last time when fighting with the Elmeth, he cannot read the enemy's movements at all. "So youre the rumored Gundam. Hmph, thats all the strongest Newtype can do, you gotta be fucking kidding me!" Accelerator tapped his cheeks in boredom, he did not even have his hands on the controls, not finding a reason to move at all. Only focusing his mind in controlling the bits, the remote weapons quickly surrounded the Gundam and began to fire thin beams, spearing at it from all directions. Allen clenched his teeth and focused on evasion, the bits were moving too quick for him to focus and counter attack. Forming a circle, the bits fired all at once, Allen quickly slide out of the way. Then the bits formed a spiral firing one after another, rotating around the Gundam. Allen only narrowly avoided them but eventually a blast of beam caught the Gundam on the foot. Losing balance, the Dom's bits immediately surrounded the Gundam. Its thin beams began to chip at the white MS' armor at great speed. "I cant understand people that throw their own lives. I value my own life more than anything, thats why no matter how many hundreds, thousands, millions of people die I wont do anything but give laugh." Allen heard this voice, he knew its pilot was taunting him, but he also know it was not a joke. This person kills for fun, a person like this should not be allowed to live. "You will only bring misfortune to people! Disappear!!" Allen screamed back, as if repelling the powerful pressure Accelerator was emitting. Taking a last push, the Gundam blasted past the bits that was surrounding it. Allen threw his beam rifle at one of the bits, sacrificing his weapon to block an attack, he pushed his controls up hard as the Gundam drew its beam saber and slashed down at the Schnee Weiss. Only now, did Allen notice what a foolish mistake he has made, from the beginning he never stood a chance against this enemy. The beam saber that should of cut its target in half stopped half way, the light was refracted at an impossible angle upon contact of the Schnee Weiss. It was not a barrier or any kind of defensive measure, it was just as if the blade that was pointed at the enemy suddenly turned around and stabbed himself in the arm. Allen could not believe what he just saw, he doubted whether this was even physically possible to do, but the assumed impossible was indeed happening before his very eyes. "What...?" he glared dumbfounded at his screen as the Gundam's arm went flying into destruction the very moment he slashed down. Accelerator sneered, finally sitting up and cracking his knuckles. Putting his hands on the controls he decided to give a push as well. The Schnee Weiss did not even need to draw a weapon, it simply grabbed the Gundam's face with one hand and pulled its entire head off without any effort, just like how one would unscrew a bottle cap. Black oil spurted out of the "neck" as if a person was splattering blood after being beheaded. Allen's screens went blank as he gritted his jaws from the impact, the Schnee Weiss gave the Gundam a push as it went crashing into Elisard City through the colony wall. "Heh, not bad. So this helmet is an amplifier that transfers my ability to the entire MS...I'm not done with you yet, make me have more fun!" Accelerator madly laughed, still holding onto the Gundam's head that he ripped off, the large bit carriers of his MS was unlocked, as the Schnee Weiss purged the heavy luggage it was carrying. Putting his foot on the flaps, the white MS flew towards Elisard City as well. It was as if a spear pierced Sayla's heart when she felt something. She cannot feel Allen's presence on the battlefield, her heartbeat raced faster and faster with fear. Although faint, she felt that Allen has entered the colony. Seeing some of the Federation MS already have infiltrated the colony, Sayla thought she should confirm Allen's safety. She was uncomfortable... |

The artificial sun of Elisard City has been destroyed, Federation MS began to charge into the Colony through harbors and transport ducts. While no Federation MS have intentionally tried to open a hole in the colony walls, it will be just a matter of time before the Earthnoid soldiers begin to unleash their wrath against CRADLE, this day they have been waiting for so long. The holographic sky of the colony was deactivated and the entire colony was like night time, even though it was not even afternoon. Battle began in every corner of the colony, everyone was aiming for the palace where Carissa Elisard sat. Despite how in general the Federation outnumbered CRADLE, the number of CRADLE's reserved forces inside the Colony still stood at a formidable number. At least the final defense lines were holding well against their enemies. Carissa understood that they cannot possible pull out new soldiers overnight, but they definitely can grab people and give them the most basic training and put them in a MS overnight. Most of the CRADLE MS were piloted by novice or even rookie pilots that knew nothing of war since a week ago. Even the old model MS such as Zaku I were fighting to their deaths to defend against the Federation's heavy assault. BGM From each and every screen of Side 3's colonies, there was Carissa's live speech to encourage the majority of emotionally unstable teenagers to fight to the very brink of their lives. One of the Federation's GM drilled its beam saber into the cockpit of a Zaku and pushed it down. The "dead" MS crashed into one of the buildings destroying a screen that was broadcasting the speech. However that GM was quickly gunned down by several other CRADLE MS. Despite how there were still many people escaping towards the shelters, the battle did not stop. Stray bullets went flying into the hordes of people that were desperately trying to escape, killing civilians in units of 10s every shot and explosion. Fire blazed through the city following the explosion of a MS, almost blowing a hole in the colony wall. The dark starless sky of the colony was set a blaze in orange by the scoring flames of hell. Some morally correct soldiers were slightly reluctant to fire in a colony and preferred to fight at close quarters, others were did not. Most of the CRADLE novices did not have such a choice, they were only able to blindly fire their weapons and hope it hits the right target. Amongst the people that were going in an out of the palace, Rimea was lurking around the corner with her only bodyguard, Kirei. Unlike normally how she would wear her dark blue dress, she wore an ordinary CRADLE uniform with a short black leather skirt, high black knee socks and a pair of sneakers. After being rejected to enter at the gate despite being the royal family, Rimea is clear that Carissa has completely taken over CRADLE as a dictator and overrides the rules of the council at her own will. Peaking around the corner with the priest, she waited for the line of soldiers to run out before dashing into the palace. "Kirei! Escort me to Carissa's command room!" she shouted. The priest only gave a heartless reply and ran in front of her in case they encounter anyone in the process. Unlike how normally the palace would be full of guards and servants, the hallways were surprisingly empty. The beautifully decorated marble walls with shattered vases on the ground from the impact of explosion. High quality paintings were shaken down onto the floor, covered in the dust of the ceiling that could collapse any second. Dust and small pieces of rocks were falling down from above as the two rushed through the dark hallways. Half the lights were either broken or just simply not turned on, most soldiers were all out to combat, leaving the palace very empty. The elevators were too dangerous to ride at a time like this, Carissa's office was up on the fourth floor. Rimea stopped a moment to catch her breath, she lacked the exercise of a normal person, it was her limit to run up to the third floor. Grabbing onto the handrails she fell onto the ground and was down on her knees. Coughing out some blood, she immediately grabbed her handkerchief and wiped her mouth from her own red. "...ha...ha...I'm running out of time..." she panted. "Rimea-sama! Are you ok?" Kirei hurried back down and offered her a hand, but Rimea did not take it. Slowly pulling herself back up, she took in a deep breath. The dusty air made her want to spit blood out again, but somehow she managed to hold it in and pull herself back together. "I'm fine, lets hurry. The more time we waste here, more lives will be meaninglessly lost. Those poor souls mislead by the tyranny of Carissa, I must stop her and end everything..." she started to walk slowly back up the stairs. Kirei eyed the fallen princess in dissatisfaction. He did not understand, why she was so desperately trying to stop the war. Even if she done nothing and watch from the back, the war would eventually end and Carissa will be bound to lose. If thats the case then why is she do so desperately to end the war? I came here with her to find an answer, along with everything I seeked in life. Then, why am I so unimpressed by her actions? It is suppose to be rightful, and follows the path of our Father. Rimea-sama is trying to stop the tragedy, and save innocent souls. But why, do I feel so dissatisfied...? Kirei hesitated, he was worried that when he finds the answer, he will go crazy as a person. But there was a darkness, so dark that everything seems too bright to be gazed upon. The silent voices from the depths of the blazing purgatory is slowly tempting him to step forward. The priest, continued to march forward, curious at what awaits ahead. "Kirei! What are you doing, hurry up!" Rimea shouted from above, Kirei came to his senses as he began to run. The command room was poorly guarded, only two soldiers with semi-automatic rifles. "What are you guys?!" one of them shouted in confusion. Rimea signaled to her "servant" to clear the path, the priest zoomed at the CRADLE soldier like a rocket. By the time he has arrived at CQC range, the soldier was still hesitating whether to shoot or not. All was too late when Kirei knocked his rifle out of his hands and rammed his elbow into his foe's ribs, shattering his rib cage. The impact was so strong that it immediately knocked out a trained soldier without even giving him time to react. The other soldier alerted to this abnormal person's approach, he did not hesitate to point his rifle at Kirei, but the priest was one step ahead. Giving a high kick, he kicked the rifle out of his enemy's hands. The CRADLE soldier instantly backed away and pulled out a pistol. Kirei narrowed his eyes upon the pulling of a trigger, firing his fist like a cannon, there was only the sound of a gun barrel and a small spark that looked like a small cracker. The deformed bullet fell onto the ground, Kirei stepped on the metal and rubbed his hands, while there was no blood, not even a scar, it did leave a slight bruise on his hand. "He...punched a bullet?!" "HMPH!" Kirei relaxed his body to put all his force and weigh onto his right foot, he stomped down onto the soldier's ankles with the left side of his foot, crushing the bones in his enemy's legs. This immediately made the soldier fall down onto his knees, the angle was perfect for the finishing blow. Without even a second of hesitation, Kirei inhaled oxygen preparing the next strike. The enemy was immobile, he had time to prepare the attack that would surely kill. "Smash!" Lifting his left leg up, the priest hurled down an axe kick that hit the soldier right on the back of his neck. The impact was so strong that there were cracks on the stone floor, just a person lying there in a puddle of blood. Rimea walked up to Kirei and handed him a memory drive. "From this point on I am going alone, Kirei, youre free to do what you want now. I have nothing more to teach you, not like I had anything in the beginning. I want you to broadcast this to all of Side 3, this is my last order." she commanded, after Kirei took the drive from her, Rimea turned and faced the door. Her enemy is inside. |

Carissa's command room was full of high tech screens and computers, there were no operators or anyone else inside the room. Carissa sat in the middle eying all the screens, the situation was not good, but it is far from despair. Schnee Weiss pilot not replying, it has entered the colony without permission! one of the reports called, Carissa clicked her tongue upon hearing that. She wanted the white Dom to crush the entire Federation fleet, but nonetheless the east fleet was almost completely wiped out single handed by Accelerator, just that would be enough to hinder the Federation to a certain extent. "Fine, let him be. East fleet gather around and assault the Federation from behind! Get Mansfield's team to lead the assault!" she called. Looking around, seeing nothing but destruction, Carissa was very calm and really believed CRADLE can still win this war. "Damn, where the hell is Ogus when I need him...why is Accelerator not following orders?!" she then cursed and kicked the wall. "Thats because you only treated people like machines, and never considered how they felt. Though the latter never had any loyalty for you in the first place..." a voice startled Carissa, she knew who this person was. Turning around in her chair she stood up and eyed her sister in spite and annoyance. "Hmph, I see. So thats your answer, I was wondering where you went after the battle at A Baoa Qu. To be honest I really hoped you'd die there, leaving me the only one that will be crowned queen next" Carissa replied with a sneer. Rimea was unimpressed, but also uninterested into becoming queen at all. She just wanted to confirm one thing, and in the worst case finish off what her family began. "Fine, I will let you become queen. Only if you answer one question." Rimea gave a blunt reply, Carissa sighed and sat back down. The silence signaled to Rimea to continued, rolling her eyes to see if there were any other guards she was cautious. Walking up but keeping several meters between the two, Rimea put her hands behind her back. "I was wondering one thing after A Baoa Qu, I havent heard anything from mother these few days. Where is she? I dont think anyone but me should know the Royal Elisard have launched..." Rimea expected the answer already, but she just wanted to hear Carissa's reason, or even an excuse will do. Carissa's eyebrows twitched a bit, but Rimea did not know the slight change in her facial expressions. Without standing up she spun a full circle on her office chair and then burst out in laughter. "I dont know? Maybe she went too far ahead and got shot down." the red princess let out the last words Rimea wanted to hear, the act of playing dumb. You matricidal bitch...! At the same time, Kirei was running along the burning roads trying to fulfill his last mission. Debris was falling down from shattering buildings from above. Evading the crashing shards of buildings, he headed towards the broadcasting station. Even the priest himself was unsure why he was so worked up after hearing Rimea tell him its his last task. Maybe the thought of this being the final has made Kirei work a bit more than usual, but also think a bit more. Far away upon a tall building a golden figure stood there and put a pair of binoculars down. His silky golden hair washed by the highest quality shampoo gleamed in the reflection of the fire from below. "Go the way and do the things you wish Kirei, if so then your voice will definitely be heard by the heavens. And you will find your answer..." he closed his eyes and felt his surroundings, hearing the screams of people and destruction. |

BGM This probably was the biggest mistake in my life. I felt Allen's presence nearby so I got off my MS, why did I do that. I thought I could find him easier if I was running on foot, at least I want to be with him even if anything will happen. The worst I feared happened, what this this person thats following me...?! Random thoughts began to run through Sayla's mind as she ran, completely running away by her own instinct. Animals have instincts to run immediately when they encounter a being more powerful, Sayla was running away judging her enemy purely based on instinct. That person was not someone to even think about challenging, Sayla did not know who or what he was, was he even a person at all was the next thing that came across her mind. Just that the moment her eyes met with that monster's blood red eyes Sayla knew to run for her life. She held a machine rifle in her hand in case anything happens, but that would do no good. She turned around the corner and accidentally knocked a rubbish bin down. Rotten meat and discarded waste flowed out but she did not care, she just kept on running in the narrow and dark alley. It was surprisingly quiet in this part of the city, the area where the poorer people lived in Elisard City. While the battle was still far away, explosions can still be head from afar, though it was quiet enough to hear footsteps that echoed around the corner. "Ha...ha...why is he coming after me? Why cant I get away..." Sayla was tired of running, the footsteps were getting louder and louder. Without much of a choice, she turned around and unlocked the safety to her machine rifle, putting her fingers on the rifle and took aim at the other side of the alley, she waited until the moment someone appeared. A cold sweat broke from her spine, Sayla saw the shadow from the narrow light already coming into her sight range. Without even thinking she pulled the trigger several times, shells flew towards her target that just turned around. The nimble bullets soared across thin air and accurately hit their target, Sayla was relieved to see her machine rifle actually working. Of course a rifle works, guns were made to kill people, Sayla thought as the empty shells dropped to the ground making their distinctive klink klang sound. Seeing the pale boy falling back, Sayla was wondering why she ran from him the first place, but her eyes widened when the shells that were fired came right back at her. "Nga...!! AH!!!" one of the shells pierced her on the shoulder as she went tumbling down onto the floor like a piece of trash. Blood was flowing out from her normal suit and seeping onto the cold stone floor, before she noticed the pale white youngster was standing above her. She tried to get up but he leaned forward and glared at her like a snake. Snow white hair, pale white skin, blood red eyes, none of these were traits of a normal human being, his age was the same as Sayla, Accelerator eyed his prey in amusement as he licked his lips in joy. "Whats with that running pose? Happily shaking your ass...you trying to seduce me?" Accelerator laughed, Sayla endured the pain and reached for her rifle, firing one shot at point blank range right at the "monster's" face. But the shell stopped in mid air between his eyes and was pushed back by an unseen force. Sayla's eyes widened as she quickly blocked the bullet that came back with her rifle, the shot snapped the firearm in half as she threw the broken gun right at his face. Before it hit him, the broken parts of the machine rifle shattered into the parts that made it as if being thrown into a wall. Taking this chance Sayla quickly crawled up and continue to run. Accelerator did not even blink at the fact he was almost killed, because it was unthinkable that he can be killed in anyway. Panting from the loss of blood, Sayla held her shoulders tightly as she ran out of the alley and arrived at some kind of abandoned cargo storage. Seeing the main urban areas of Elisard City ablaze, she assumed she was quite far from where the others were. But she felt something creeping up on her from behind, seeing Accelerator walking casually up to her with his hands in his pocket, she was about to cry from fear. Without even thinking she grabbed a grenade, pulling out the pin and threw it at him. The explosive landed next to Accelerator, rolling on the pebble grounds. A huge explosion kicked up a thick layer of dust as Sayla covered her eyes. No human would survive an explosion like that, pebbles were kicked up high as they battered her for a slight moment. Or so she thought, but there was one question that remain. Was he even a human at all? Sayla got her answer as a pale arm extended through the smoke and grabbed her by the neck. She felt a shock wave tear through her normal suit, stripping her almost naked with only her bra and underwear. Blood dripped down from her shoulder onto the ground as she was lifted into the air with one hand. She tried to pull the arm that had superpower away but something repelled her hands when she tried to touch him. "Ugh...le.....t.....go....." her eyes was turning white, slowly suffocating. Throwing her onto the ground, her skin scraped against the pebbles on the floor as she landed next to a train track. Catching her breath from the near death experience, she could not even get up now. Her body was bruised with scars, her white skin was scarred by the friction of the land, her hair messed by the violent impact, she lied there like a broken doll. Accelerator walked up and sneered in joy, like a bad child that is about to break snap his toy in half. "Its a bit poor to be killed without even knowing what killed you. I'll tell you, the answer is Vector Redirection! Heat, momentum, electrons...all types of energy have certain vectors, and I can redirect those vectors the moment they come into contact with me. But right now I have them set to default as reflection...now then..." Accelerator laughed and kicked Sayla in the stomach without warning. She spit out some blood from the violent impact, the white monster only laughed in happiness as he repeating kicked, stomped her again and again. His brown leather shoes hid hard against Sayla's naked body, but suddenly he stopped. "Get away from her..." Accelerator did not turn around, someone was standing behind him, panting like he just rushed here. His messy brown hair and black eyes were the same as how he imagined him to be the moment Accelerator first saw him on Earth. There was nothing but a sneer on his face. |

"Didnt you hear me? I said get away from her you thug!" No you cant, run away...Allen...! Sayla thought, but she was too weak to say it out. It was like she was chocking on her own blood. Allen did not back down a bit as Accelerator turned around, that sneer disappeared as the white monster blankly stared at Allen with his red eyes. He then broke out in a maniacal laugh and his entire body slumped down like a puddle of jelly. Standing back up straight he put his hands in his pockets and took a few steps up towards Allen. There was just a mere 3 meters between the two, the insane grin on his face appeared again. "What kind of god are you acting like? There are only 7 Rank S pilots within CRADLE and amongst the 7 I am called the pinnacle of all, and youre calling me a thug? This joke is not funny..." Accelerator bluffed and lightly kicked a small piece of rock under his foot. The small rock blasted through the air like a cannonball, swiftly passing Allen's face missing him slightly. There was an explosion near the command tower from a far upon impact as the entire tower was destroyed just by a little piece of rock launched at over 700 mph. Allen can still smell the molten charred stench from the air friction. But he did not even flinch against that, bravely standing up against his enemy. Allen knew his enemy is not someone normal, he did not know what power Accelerator had, but only one thing he was sure. This person is the pilot of that white Dom and he sensed Newtype powers from him, just that Accelerator was giving off so much pressure that it completely overshadowed Allen's presence right now. "Ho...? Youre an interesting guy..." Accelerator was a bit surprised at how Allen managed to not even blink upon his attack, though he never considered it to be an attack but just showing off his ability. Allen gritted his teeth and charged up, he was unarmed but probably firearms will not do much good against Accelerator. He lifted his arm back and was about to throw a punch. "Too slow, like that youre a century too slow to even reach me!" the wild grin came back on his face, Accelerator stomped on the ground lightly with one foot, immediately a huge shock wave blasted Allen back and high up into the air as he tumbled 5 meters back. With just 1 step rocks were kicked up from underground as cracks were left on the ground, like this it was perfectly possible for Accelerator to destroy the colony in the blink of an eye. Screaming in pain, Allen tried to get up, his normal suit was battered and ripped from the impact, he is not facing against a human. Accelerator is a monster in human appearance, its just physically impossible to do something like that, or so Allen thought. It feels like he has gotten himself into some kind of superpower movie, but even in the movies Accelerator would of been considered too overpowered that it would just be foolish to even think of challenging him in a fight. Though to the white monster, there was no such thing called a fight, there was just a one sided face off which he butchered his targets in the most brutal ways possible. "Hey hey, dont just sit there...Run rabbit! Run!!" Accelerator laughed and put his foot on the train track rails, super hard steel that can withstand weight from the heaviest trains bent like they were soft candy bars and snapped into short fragments of 2 or 3 meters like a match stick, floating in the air carried by powerful wind pressure, Accelerator only lightly pushed one with his knuckles as the heavy steel fragment blasted at Allen. Widening his eyes, the poor pilot quickly jumped to his feet and began to run, he knew any person would die immediately if they were hit by something like that. The rail stamped onto the pebble ground and stood up straight, kicking up a huge cloud of dust every shot, rocks were crushed into smaller pebbles to signal how deadly each hit could be, every hit had more power than a machine gun from a Zaku, easily snapping trees and blasting through buildings. The attack was not finished, Accelerator punched and kicked the rail fragments, every time it emitted a melody like a triangle but every hit was fatal. Allen kept on running and hoping no attacks would hit, his eyes cannot even catch up to the huge speed of each rail that flew at him like javelins. Accelerator got bored and wiped his hand across all the rail fragments as they flew towards Allen all at once. There was a large dust cloud that covered the area, but Allen panted as he slowly got up. Scars covered his face as his entire body was bruised by the brutal shock wave each attack that landed, it was almost a miracle that he came out alive. Seeing several rails standing upright 3 or 4 meters high, he grabbed onto the side of one to support himself. "How boring. If you want to enjoy playing hunting then try to flee like a fox. Dont stop there like a pig thats waiting to be eaten you thug!" Accelerator harshly insulted as he stood at the top of one of the rails that was erected on the ground, then jumped down as if 4 meters was nothing. Spoiler: click to toggle I have run! Run! Run! Run! My body is telling me to run but I cannot move! I cant leave Sayla here, but shes not moving...run! Run! Run otherwise I will die...! Move...! Allen squealed in horror as he quickly turned his back and ran as fast as he could, there was no chance to even think of winning. Allen decided to give up everything and just hope for the slim chance he could come out here alive. Without looking back he just ran, he never ran so fast before, it was another animal instinct. People can easily break their limit and run at unimaginable speed when they were in great fear, Accelerator was the lion that can chase after Allen anytime. Taking two steps forward, Accelerator kicked off the ground and leaned forward, there was a blast of wind under his feet as he launched himself like a rocket towards Allen. Faster than any sports car in existence, Accelerator caught up with Allen in a split second, lowering his speed he was gliding next to him, still with his hands in his pockets, his foot did not touch the ground as if he was sliding on air. Slowing down, he matched Allen's running speed and looked at him with the corner of his eyes. "What is there to be surprised about? I just changed the momentum vectors under my foot..." he taunted and gave Allen an upper cut. Even if the pilot guarded the attack, the impact was so strong that it threw him 5 meters into the air and landed onto the ground with a thud, rolling on the pebble ground like a ball. "Do you know the way to hit someone without hurting your own hand? Just change and turn the momentum vectors upon impact towards the enemy, thanks to that you receive double the damage!" Accelerator laughed and swiped his hand in air, a blast of wind speared Allen as he was trying to get up and hurled him back 10 meters, smashing himself onto a steel container. Spitting out blood, Allen could not even think properly from the constant impacts. But he can still faintly sense Accelerator's presence, quickly crawling away like a weakened animal, Allen rolled out of the way as another attack was coming. Crashing down from the night sky like a comet, Accelerator gave a flying kick from over 10 meters away, Allen only barely managed to crawl out of it. The kick was so powerful that it left a crater in the steel container as it knocked the bottom one away, the ones on top crumbled down pushing other containers down as well like dominoes. The contents filled the air as it blurred Allen's sight away, but Accelerator seems impressed and interested about whats in it. "Hmm? So it was wheat flour inside these. Oh, now you mention it there isnt any wind right now, this might be quite a dangerous situation, eh? Since its all powdery right now, what if it caught on fire? Oxygen will burn crazily fast! Hey, I think you must have heard of something called dust explosion, right?" Accelerator gave a rhetoric question, Allen did not even think, he just began to run again. This was more than one sided, it was a complete question of the hunter and the hunted. Running from the monster, he only heard wild laughs from inside the powdery area... |
