Seventeen rematerialized outside the depths of the fortress?his eyes attentive and his muscles tense as he sought to locate the unit he had sent ahead as an invasion force. His little infiltration of the structure to attain medical attention had undoubtedly left his men without a suitable leader, and it was nigh time that the android returned to the duties at hand. With a grin, the machine-hybrid sauntered down the hallway in an effort to reach his men the quickest.
Along the way, Seventeen encountered pockets of resistance, but with the utmost elegance, the cyborg managed to dispatch the few hurdles that stood between him and a reunion with his beloved soldiers. Throwing his hands forward, the android obliterated the wall before him with a diminutive ki blast. As the cloud of dust dissipated, the cybernetic warrior was gifted with a rather unimpaired view of the battle unfolding before the east gate.
The panorama was one speckled with bursts of flame, energy, and gore, and without even so much as a second glance, Seventeen leaped through his makeshift exit. The android twirled and pivoted as he descended into the sea of soldiers?his body bursting into an amalgamation of light particles mere moments before the culmination of his plunge. The Commander of the Outcasts reappeared alongside the love of his life near the posterior end of his troops.
?It?s about time!? Paige decreed, dashing forward and embracing the man as if they had been apart for months. Seventeen closed his eyes as a smile spread across his wearied features?the realities of war numbed by the warmth the woman?s touch brought him. The cyborg relished in the sensation, but before he was even able to indulge in the paradise, it was torn asunder in a heartbeat.
The sound of the bullet was lost among the lovers, but its arrival would trigger a profound schism between them. Paige?s knees buckled?triggering the machine-hybrid to be torn violently from his state of relaxation back into the cold, harsh realities of war. Seventeen opened his eyes in enough time to dash forward and grab the woman as she fell away from him.
?No?? Seventeen muttered?his hand trembling as he softly rested one of his pallid hands on the woman?s ruptured chest. A bullet from a lucky marksman had torn through Paige?s right side and decimated the contents of her ribcage before exiting the opposite side of her thoracic cavity. Turning his attention in the direction of the shot, the cybernetic warrior spotted the sniper a few yards away.
The man wore a smug grin on his face as he lifted his scope back to his visage and aimed his rifle at the android. With a hateful scream, Seventeen summoned up a compacted sphere of energy and hurled it toward the killer. The dense projectile rocketed through the sky at a rate too fast for the marksman to keep an eye on. A moment later, his visor shattered as his skull was obliterated by the attack.
?It?s going to be all right,? Seventeen,? the soft voice was that of a dying woman. The android turned his attention back to his dying girlfriend and let out a soft whimper as she reached one of her jade hands up to cradle the side of his face. ?I love?? Paige was silenced by a burst of ki that left her face a defiled shell of its former beauty. The man who fired the shot was overwhelmed by a heap of soldiers, but the damage had already been dealt.
Resting the woman?s corpse on the ground, the android crossed her arms over her chest and turned to the conflict at hand. It took only a split-second for the frustration and hate swelling within him to trigger him to ascend to the next tier. Unfortunately for the situation, Seventeen?s default ascension wasn?t enough to quell his rage?he needed more.
?Commander Seventeen!? The words were foreign to the android, but whoever was behind them most certainly had chosen the incorrect time to assail the onyx-haired warrior. ?These warriors are nothing! Fight with me!? Seventeen cocked his head to the side the moment he heard the arrogant challenge issued unto him. A saiya-jin was stampeding through the deluge of soldiers in a mad dash to intercept the motionless android. It was one of Dante?s illustrious commanders?the saiya-jin prodigy Broli, and behind the officer, King Vejita trailed by only a slim margin.
Seventeen understood that the commanders were not rushing forth for a little moment of parley?they wanted to single out the machine-hybrid and murder him. The android twitched slightly at the proposition as the first of the commander reached his position. The cyborg?s vision was blurred by shades of crimson rage as he attempted to get a coherent view of the saiya-jin perched a few feet from him.
?We've solidified our mark upon this world?the possibility of failure is only faded with unimportance through our accomplishments. Whether the blood of either of us fall upon this ground, the name Dante will forever rest upon your lips and the wounds we give will forever be existent,? King Vejita?s declaration fell on ears numbed by hatred. Seventeen took a step forward, but a sudden impulse throughout his meager form brought him to his knees.
Seventeen?s mind was wrought by a variety of disturbing sensations, and after a while, he completely zoned out to the conversation that the two commanders were having just a few feet away. It was then that the android detected something with his infantile ki sense?a something that did not settle well within the depths of his stomach.
?Idiots think you can deceive me,? Seventeen screamed, swallowing down his emotions and vaulting to his feet. ?Your lack of honor disgusts me. If you wanted to fight me so badly then show some damn pride in your tactics. You two sadden me greatly,? the android remarked, glancing over his shoulder in the direction of the ki signatures. ?We?ll meet again soon, but for now, I implore you to revel in your strategy.? With that, Seventeen vanished in a swirl of white and blue lights.
Although the android reappeared but a few dozen yards, he relished in his lack of an energy signature. With a final smile, he vanished once more and continued on his merry way.
OOC: I see how it is guys =) I <3 you all.
