Juno now completely under the Influence of the Virus was only a bystander in her own body. The horrid feeling of telling yourself to act one way but have you act another was now a familiar nightmare for Koura. She could only watch as she walked into town after town casualy and wiped it out completely.There were parts where she would dismember the victim and other times where she would simply Blast the area and wipe out many people at once. The carnage and blood left a trail of Pain and suffering behind her and only made Koura hate herself more.
"how could I have been so stupid as to let this happen" she though. "Mabey this is my fault...and I'm the one responsible". She killed bystanders without second glance and let roads become rivers of death behind her. The guardians tried to Stop her at every point. But they would either be foiled by Neo Shade who was doing her best to make the destruction as complete as possible. Or Juno who's ability to Mimic fighting patterns was proving to be deadly. She had already mimiced both Harpuia and Leviathan's techqiues and was able to use them. Eventualy she came to a Small town called New Casa.
The town was Located in the desert and Neo Shade had worked hard to lead her precious tool there.
"Master Euquine is this the Town you wanted decimated?"
"yes" awnsered the voice of a Young french boy. " I want it off the face of the map. New Casa's destrution is the First part of Project END. See to it that it isn't ruined." Neo saluted the Screen she was useing to call before Jumping in front of Seraph Juno.
"This town dispises Reploids Deary" She said with a coy smile. "what are you going to do now?" Inside Koura was Shouting.
"Leave it be the Town is just another refugee camp Destroying it would be wrong" but Juno was laughing evily as she drew her weapons and began the slaughter. The guardians were tired of being beaten by now and this time they had devised a plan. Hans went into action. He drew his Massive sword and attacked Neo from behind getting a clean hit in on her, Cutting her in half. Red oil gushed out and coated the Sand in a crimson carpet and the spalters from Blitz Tigers sword painted the wall of the Hotel, where they were fighting near, A bright scarlet. Hans's eyes narrowed as he looked upon the face of the one who was causing Koura pain. He stood over the twitching reploid and Kicked the torso ontop of the waist so as not to make more of a mess. Coord began to form around the area on Neo's gash and she reformed and stood up ominously.
"why you sneaky little..." she was cut off as Harpuia Put both his swords to her throat and Fefnir Loaded his gun and aimed it at her.
"it's over now. Give up" Leivathan said aproacing her from the front. Neo began to send her Electrical cords at the Open guardian but she spun her staff and severed them.
"were not playing your games anymore Neo shade" Hans said "now let Ko..." a Blast rattled the building they were next to and it colapsed on them. Fefnir poined his gun up and blased them a hole through. Harpuia shoved Neo under the falling rubble and stood there emotionless.
Hans Sholved the debris away to confirm the destruction of Neo. all he found was her Black Mask that covered half of her face normaly. She was dead for all they knew or cared. With that Hans turned himself to the Only girl he had ever felt anything for. She needed his help though she was dealing with the guardians easily. Not even their armed Phenomenons could stop her. She was built too well. Watching ehr fight them gave him and Idea though. The way the guardians were going about it was only pissing off the Maverick in control more. With more agression came more control over Koura. They were only making it worse. Hans Dashed to the closest building to her and Took his armor off and stood in his human-like form. He stared at the dark visor of the Maverick without fear.
"stupid boy what do you think your doing she's going to kill you" Leviathan yelled from where she had landed after being hurled away by one of Juno's whips. Hans faced Juno and spoke in a calm voice.
"Koura..." he said looking at her with a careing expression. "I know you don't want to do this. You don't want to kill, You want to help people not harm them." Juno landed on the building next to Hans and collapsed her head in her hands her eyes reverting to purple then to red then to purple again. Koura was fighting. Hans Kneeled next to her and huged her tightly. "Your still in there don't let her win. Don't let Neo win over you" Koura's eyes turned purple and she Huged Hans back. kissing him on the cheek and letting a steam of tears flow.
"it's in my back" she said as she kicked away and her eyes turned back to red. Hans Knew what she wanted and what needed to be done. The guardians watched in awe from the distance as Juno flew backwards and Hand Leaped after her Sliding his finger along his striped in mid air. He Formed his sword in a boomerang shape and threw it. it cirrcled back and hit Juno right where the chip was. Hans fell down to the ground and landed on his back fracturing a part of his armor.
Juno fell from the sky droping like a rock only 6 yards from Hans. Red shards scatterd the area around her. Hans had broken the chip. He stumbled over and grabed his sowed from her back. the wound wasn't too deep so she would be fine. but the oil continued to spill from both her, who had reverted back to her human like form, and the fracture hans had recived upon landing. He picked up Koura and walked to the other guardians.
"where are the people?" he asked looking around.
"they evacuated ahead of time." Harpuia said calmly looking at the now stiring Koura. "did you get it out of her?"
"yes" Hans awnsered as Koura came too she busted into tears.
"I-I-I couldn't stop myself. It was like watching a bad horror film and not being able to turn it off." she clung to Hans tightly and he huged her back.
"it's over now."
"but all the people I killed. I have to make it right."
"Figure it out after we get repaied." Fefnir said as he but away his guns which had been snaped in half by Koura.
The resistance base was half rebuilt by the end of Koura's Maverick days and the repair ward was open. Both Hand and Koura were repaied as well as the guaridans. Koura sat on the roof and watched the sun set peacefuly in the Ruby red sky. She fiddled with her ribbon playfuly but did not activate it. Hans came up and Joined her.
"Why didn't you say it sooner" Koura asked subtley.
"Say what?" Hans responded blushing slightly.
"That you liked me." Koura said turning bright red. She placed her hand on the ground next to her and Hand placed his over hers and held her hand.
"Because I din't know if it was the real thing." he said, Koura stared at him confused
"Know if it's not the real thing?! what kind of response is that?" she said slightly annoyed
"The male kind" he said chuckling slightly and blushing a bit more as he put his arm around Koura.
"Thank you" Koura said softly as she leaned into Hans's shoulder and stared off into space. The first stars were starting to apear. Hans was temepted to ask why but he already knew. Not only was the thanks for saveing her. But a thanks for being her Sanctuary of Hope in the hard life she had lived so far. It was no secret in the resistance. Her parent's were dead. Her best friend was shot before her eyes, and She got to watch herself bleed out and die. The things she had seen the Nightmare she lived in. Her Maverick adventure didn't make her feel any better either. She had only made other's suffer like she did when she saw her friend killed and Harpuia showed her her parent's remains.
"I go this for you by the way." Hans said handing her a box with a peacock etched into the wood work. Koura opened it and it played a beautiful melody. The soft music was sad yet peaceful. She hummed to it and leaned into Hans more. He reached over and opened the bottom part of it. Inside was a glass heart with silver, gold, and Black glass work in it. it had a necklace loop and a chain with it too. Koura looked at him shocked.
"you didn't have t..." he pressed his finger to her lips and kissed her.
" I know but, You've been so sad recently and look at it. the outline is in silver. I always, Always want you to look at the silver lining in every situation. Life can be full of misery but Like pandora's box there's still Hope inside." he put the necklace on Koura and sat with her quietly.
"Hans?"
"yes?"
"I want to redeem myself. I know I've comitted horrible crimes and I can never be forgiven all the way for them"
"it wasn't your doi..." Koura cut him off.
"I't still feels like it. Can you help me? I want to go to each town I destroyed and rebuild it. also while I was a Maverick Neo mentioned somthing about Project 'END' I know it can't be good. I want to stop it." Hans nodded
"I'll follow you to the ends of the Earth if it means I get to see you smile again" he said. The cresent moos shone brightly on the roof now. Hans gave Koura a Tight hug before turing in for bed. Korua followed to her room. Holding the hear close to her's and humming the Music box's melody.
