Why...why has this happened...why did it have to come to to this, i thought we could come to an understanding. I stand in the middle of vase ruined city surrounded by the people that i once fought side by side with for year's that i had considered allies.
Even...friends that was forged through the battle of war against the homunculus's to only have them turn on me and chase me for years to finally have cornered me her with lure of having my love one's in their hands.
As they threatened to kill them if i didn't come. With an katana in my hand as i stand facing the arm of people that i once called my brother's and sisters in arms.
With one of my arms dangling at my side disabled with blood trailing down it as my body is covered in wounds from gun shots, and slashes. As they have halved my power by having me drink an new steroid that was made off the bases of the orginal steroid that was made to stop an homunculus's from being able to transform to there enlarged size.
But the new one that was made off it has another effect on what they have come to call me.
...As they have also deemed it to be what they will call other's that they believe to come after me with the same powers as me, to be known as the Kulus. The steroid isn't truly meant to stop me from transforming but in fact it's want me to transforming so that it can attack my nervous system causing me to die an slow but agonizing death.
With me trying to protect not only my two wives but my mother, father, brother, and my little sister that are also wounded as their also exhausted i can't...afford to have the risk of the steroid effects that lay dormant to take it's affect.
Looking over my shoulder to see my two wives and the rest of my family looking at me with fear, guilt, sadness, and despair in their eye's i smile at them as i " everything is going to be ok just...stay behind me and i will get us out of here." Turn to look at my little sister that trying to pull away from our older brother as her face is covered in tears as she has one arm stretched out towards me "don't worry Lilly big sister is strong isn't she the strongest in the world...once we get somewhere safe why don't i make your favorite desert huh?"
Lily: "Cleo!...please just leave us...go run... we'll be ok!...they won't hut us as long as they know that we can be used against you!"
Gahan: Pulling Lily back as i look at Cleolani "she's right Cleo me, Elizabeth, and Skylar will take care of mom, dad, and Lili until you can save us after all as an big brother what else am i good for."
Seeing him smirk after he finishes as he tries to keep care free nature i giggle "is now really the best time for you to be so...aloof...big brother" as he just shrugs his shoulder that has me shake my head at his antics. Before finally laying my eye's on my wives after i had looked at my parents with my dad nodding his head gesturing for me to do what i must as my mother just smiled with tears that are threatening to leave her eye's.
With my eyes landing on Sky and Liza as my gaze had soften with an look all to familiar to them that caused Sky to shout "DON'T YOU DARE CLEO!...NOT...NOT AGAIN YOU'VE ALREADY LEFT US BEHIND ONCE! WITHOUT EVEN CONSULTING US! LET US CHOOSE OUR OWN PATH LET US FIGHT ALONG SIDE YOU LIKE WE'VE ALWAYS DONE."
Elizabeth: Trying to pull my'self up as i clench my arm while Sky loosened her grab from my shoulder while i have one eye closed "L-lani... p...please...i...i...can still fight...we can still... fight let me and Sky help you. Form another contract with us and we will turn the odds back in your favor just like we did all thoses years...ago so... please...let us."
Smiling at them as i shake my head "i-i can't do that to you...to the both of you again...or any comrades that we had or our family...i won't let anyone of you become outcasts or rogues due to having connections or bonds to me. You all have families to take care of... love one's that expect you to be in their lives and to come home to an warm dinner."
Lily: "SAME COULD BE SAID ABOUT YOU! CLEO! YOU! WITH YOU ALSO HAVING AN FAMILY THAT EXPECTS THE SAME! YOU HAVE WIVES THAT EXPECT YOU TO BE ABLE TO RETURN AND FAMILY THAT ALSO EXPECTS YOUR RETURN TO THEM AREN'T WE YOUR LOVE ONES THAT WAIT FOR YOU!"
Bitting my lip before giving an wary smile to Lili... but before i could respond theres movement from the front me that causes me to look back in front of me to where it the sound was coming from. Causing me to also change my expression as they spilt like an ocean wave showing someone walking through the path that opened.
Widening my eye's when i saw who it was my posture seemed to waver as my grip on my katana loosened as my resolve almost had succumbed to the urge to give in only to be stabilize by Skylar's howler.
Skylar:"SUZANNE! HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR FACE HERE! LIKE THIS IN THEIR UNIFORM! DON'T YOU LOVE CLEO JUST AS MUCH AS THE REST OF US HOW COULD YOU BETRAY HER LIKE THIS!"
Staring at Anne with disbelief as i can't... truly believe...that she's here and....and... in their uniform. Staring at her she adverts her gaze that has guilt in them before looking at me with longing and hope as she begins to speak.
"Cleo...please...just come back with me...to us. I got them to promise to not harm us as long as you rejoin the army and be under an supervision of the government by wearing this bracelet and they will pardon any of the offensive you have done and let you still have an free life. All you have to do surrender and come back with me now as all will be forgiven with this act."
Gahan: "Sue...do you hear yourself right now? You want Cleo to put on something that equivalent to an collar giving up her freedom after all that she has done for the entire world. You know what they truly want to due to her as i'm sure that's not the last of the demands that they want from her."
