Love Far Beyond the Ashes

Owl and Dragon

Mumei pov: I knew I actually stood a chance due to my potential being unlocked when I was controlled, but I don't know how long I can keep this up. Aki-senpai was stopping Roboco-senpai from crossing a certain point, which was good.

Roboco-senpai went to closeline Selen, but I flew in and drop kicked her, managing to break off hair and part of her cranial structure, exposing the inside of her head.

Bzzt...Bzzt.. electricity began to fly out of her skull.

She grabbed a hold of me and began to shock me with electricity. Selen flew in and tore the whole right side of Roboco-senpai's face off, causing her to let go of me.

"Thanks..." I panted

"No problem!" Selen replied

"In-bzzt-Insolent worms..." Roboco-senpai glitched

Her body opened up, and she shot a bunch of missiles at us. Selena and I flew around them, making her angry.

"Worth-bzzt-less" She said

I flew at her and headbutted her stomach, denting it, but her stomach then opened up, and she shot another missile, this one hitting me head on.

I flew out of the explosion so fast that my body extinguished itself, and then I used my danger slashing to slash off her left leg. I thought it'd make her fall to the ground, but she was still able to fly perfectly.

"Fuck!" I yelled as she went to grab me.

I saw a fireball fly through the air that hit Roboco-senpai. I smiled knowing Kiara did that.

"That probably did nothing," Selen panted.

The smoke and fire cleared, revealing Roboco completely naked, and her body began to melt a bit.

Selen went in and batted Roboco-senpai away with her tail. She then clasped her hands together, caught up, and slammed them into her, sending her hurdling to the ground.

Roboco-senpai rocketed up and without warning shot a beam. It hit us directly. That's when I realized this was a special attack. It was made out of microbeams that slowly sliced at the victim. It wasn't a kill move persay, but it would leave us severely injured.

The two of us fell to the ground as my cloak fell off my body.

I stopped myself from falling, but when I went into an upright position, my skin began to peel and fall off.

"Damn it..." I wheezed

"Are you okay?" Selen coughed

I looked over and saw her dragon arm was torn to shreds.

Roboco-senpai flew over to us and grabbed us both by the head. She then flew down and dragged our heads through the ground before throwing us and blasting us again with a more traditional beam. She didn't let up as she kept shooting missiles at us while we were still recovering from that.

Selen and I flew forward, and together we slammed through the right side of her torso.

Bzzt...Bzzt.. she clearly had a lot of damage, but she wouldn't shut down. She was seemingly okay.

Wires came out of all her broken parts and shot out, wrapping themselves around our necks and choking us out.

"Y-bzzt-you two should really blame Sakura Miko for this." Roboco-senpai said

I figured it out: Miko-senpai did something that made her glitch out; neither of us could talk since we were being strangled.

"So have you both realized you can't win?" Roboco asked

We both knew that we just needed to buy time.

The wires began to pierce into our bodies and shoot out in a repeated manner.

"I'll find your heart eventually...." She said

I managed to move my right hand and slice the wires off, letting myself breathe again.

"Wrong decision..." She commented

Her left hand shot out and hit me with a rocket punch to the face, making me fall to the ground.

Selen tensed her body up and broke out of her restraints. Roboco-senpai began to laugh.

"A-a final plea from the peanut gallery, pathetic... She said

"You don't know that." Selen wheezed

"Oh, but I do. Next time I see Miko, I'll make sure to tell her she cost two innocent lives with her selfish obsession," Roboco said.

"I really wanted to see Elira and apologize for making things awkward between us." Selen said

"Well, you opted to fight." I commented

"That is true!" Selen laughed.

We both began to laugh confusing Roboco-senpai

"Even if you beat us you can't get pass Aki-senpai I'm kind of glad she isn't interfering" I laughed

"She only isn't fighting because she can't." Roboco-senpai hissed

"That may be true, but you don't want to hurt her!" I chuckled

"Why am I bothering with you?" Roboco-senpai asked as she slowly began to fly past us.

"Come on, you moron, face us or are you scared?" Selena and I screamed

"Why you...." Roboco-senpai yelled Her voice sounded corrupted and distorted, but at the same time normal.

"The two of us won't back down here!" I said

Roboco-senpai began to shake as she tried to fly away, but Selen and I grabbed her body, preventing her from leaving.

"You are wasting time; you've already stolen ten minutes!" Roboco-senpai yelled

"I'm happy that you are stuck here; eventually someone will come and beat you, then we'll be laughing!" I said

"Like I said, the only ones that can beat me are gone," Roboco said.

Her wires shot into our bodies and began to shock us, making us let go and fall limp.

I could sense seven more challengers approaching, one of them being Subaru. I smiled a tiny bit.

"We aren't as weak as you think..." I panted

"How are you?"

I interrupted her before she could finish speaking.

We will win no matter what. We just laid the ground. You are stoppable, and even if you aren't, you'll have to live knowing we pushed you this much," I said.

Subaru...Kiara...Reine...Lui... This is it, but as I shut my eyes, I smiled, knowing that they loved me.
