"Kill the leaders for me, mon cher. Kill Von."
He had constructed the plan from the ground up, devising this for months. Everyone would be relocated an hour after his departure and how Mabel was supposed to never know. They were to disappear to Neo Paris and join their branch of the Rebellion. If it was drastic; talk to Magdala about rooming and the Rebellion.
Everything led up to this moment and no one would stop him.
He glided over to the HQ, striking the big target first; Von. He snuck into the base, slitting a guard's throat and damn, he smelled like a pigsty. He took an eyeball and his prints and some DNA, just to be sure.
He finally got in and crept through the shadows, assassinating a few guards with his metal claw and slinking through the darkness. He got to the main duct and his body moved towards... towards the Main Ballroom? No, this can't be right.
It took him a moment but it occurred to him; Glitch! The little bastard had fucking hacked his software! He fell in a duct to the middle of the room. There they were, leaders all in all.
There was Zelia, his tutor, frowning at him and clutching her dagger so hard that it must've bled. Then, the recently promoted and star general Eryn Wakely, glaring at him and ready to slit his throat. Last but not least, the mistress of the AI, Glitch.
He felt the restraints loosen and his hand immediately turned into a claw. None of them made a sound and then, Zelia stepped forward. She looked like one of those old nuns, except like she was clothed in darkness and horrors.
"Tsk, tsk. You are a disappointment, Noir," She muttered, "And I thought you were going to be an astounding agent of our Lady. Guess I wasn't right at all. General, finish him."
She unsheathed her sword and smiled cruelly. "With pleasure, priestess." The restraints gave way, a small mercy, and he set the propulsion systems and fought, hacking and slashing at her. She was obviously more skilled and he couldn't hope to beat her.
So, he did the logical choice; he went for Glitch.
Zelia stepped in and blew some poison; extract of aurin leaf and blend of buzzflower. He instantly drew back and got his good arm impaled into the sword. He wrenched away as Glitch caught it all and looked on, snickering.
He flew up, but his jets failed, crashing him into the ground. The poison began to take effect, and everything dimmed. Damn, he thought sullenly, as he continued fighting with lackluster strength, getting hacked and slashed and he dropped at least half a liter of blood. I fucked this one up pretty bad. I hope the rest of them'll do fine.
Eryn stuck her sword in his gut, once... twice... and Zelia kneeled in front of him, sneering. "We'll make you an example, Betrayer. No one attempts anything on Von." He glared and then closed his eyes, waiting for death and tried to form a coherent thought.
He only had a few short thoughts left: "Please, let Mabel and everyone forgive me for my failure. Let Alessander lead them to safety."
((I AM SORRY THIS IS SO SUBPAR BUT IT IS 12:41 AND I HAVE LOW CREATIVITY RIGHT NOW. SORRY ZELLY AND ERYN. I USED YOUR OCS WITHOUT CONSENT OOPTH.))
