Meanwhile, Jeno was currently surfing on a meteor that he had encountered while in the upper atmosphere. He wasnāt able to fully dodge the attack, so he wasted more time than he had hoped too. He could have totally teleported, but itād been awhile since he surfed on a flaming rock from outer space and he wasnāt going to miss the chance.
āUni is probably going to be a mess.ā He said as he crossed his arms, the sky rushing past him.Ā āBut Iām not worthy of helping her. That task falls to someone else.ā He jumped off the meteor and rocketed off through the sky.Ā āIāll leave her to you, Blanc.ā And then he was gone, having vanished into the horizon.
āSheās out like a light. Not that I can blame her though, sheās been through a lot.ā He went to help the young candidate only to be blocked by an arm. Standing in front of him was Blanc, still in her White Heart form.Ā
āI thank youā¦ for saving us. But pleaseā¦ let me take care of Uni. She needs a friend more than anything right now.ā She limped over to the other and picked her up, almost buckling under the weight.Ā āGive us some time.ā She said as she carried the other bridal style, toward the medical bay. Ā
Upon arriving, she gently set Uni down on the bed and fell to her knees beside it.Ā
Her transformation undid itself as her hands gripped at her skirt.
And only after all that, did Blanc finally allow herself to cry. She buried her face into the side the bed and sobbed. Cursing herself for her weakness. Cursing herself for not being able to protect Noire. Cursing herself for allowing Uni to experience such pain.Ā
She was always so confident in her combat skills. Always quick to get angry and kick someoneās ass.
Yet all that confidence and anger did jack all here. She was completely useless. She was nothing more than dead weight.Ā āDammitā¦ !ā She yelled, muffled by the sheets of the bed.Ā āDammit! Dammit! Dammit!ā Soon her curses were drowned out by her crying as she gave into the strength of her sadness. All the anger she had felt at herself melted away as she wailed. Ā
Today was a dark day for GamindustriĀ
But even during the darkest days, there is still a small shimmer of light. A small flicker of hope. And that hope came in the form of Sail.Ā
He stood on the other side of the door to the infirmary, not wanting to interfere. But he heard Blancās cries. He heard her desperation and it only made him angry.Ā āI promise you.ā He said softly.Ā āI wonāt let any of you be hurt again.āĀ
Hours passed before Uni began to stir, which should have been a good thing, had it not been accompanied by a cold sweat. She was tossing and turning, flinging her arms and legs like she was trying to fight something off.
She had been completely exhausted when she passed out, but now, sitting on the brink of consciousness, the events before played themselves out in the worst possible way. She saw Noire die in front of her, she saw Jeno explode into dust before her, and she saw him choke the life out of Blanc. She couldnāt move. She couldnāt do anything but watch the people she cared about die over and over and over and over. And she was powerless to help.
She awoke with a start, doused in sweat and breathing heavily, brain steeped with adrenaline and mind steeped with utter panic.
