Chapter 39: How Can I Do This Without You? (episode 46)

"Onii-chan!!!" Tsurugi screamed in anguish as Onyx went limp in his arms.

Tears were flowing down his face as he stared at Onyx. They were gone. Dead. Never going to come back. All because of him. If he hadn't run off on his own then maybe... maybe Onyx would still be with them...

It was all his fault...

"Such a shame. I would've liked to kill them a bit more personally than that." Cuervo taunted his anguish.

"Cuervo!!" Tsurugi placed Onyx on the ground and then rushed at Cuervo.

The two clashed hard. Tsurugi was fueled on by his anger. Cuervo was unable to block him well. He was too aggressive to be dodged.

Lucky joined him in the attack, seeming equally as pissed off. Neither were holding back at all. Cuervo was getting overwhelmed by their combined forces. Nothing was going to stop them from getting revenge for Onyx. They had promised them to save the galaxy. They were not about to break that promise.

The two of them sent Cuervo flying out of the moraimars with two very brutal attacks. They both were panting. That had been an intense fight. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning. They had yet to actually take Cuervo down.

"Guys!" Stinger and Naga had arrived at last.

"Are you guys okay?" Stinger asked them.

"Where's Onyx?" Naga questioned.

Tsurugi felt the numbness rising in him again. Tears were forming in the corners of his eyes once more. The pain of remembering what had happened would haunt him for a long time. He felt so numb inside. This pain hurt even worse than anything he had gone through before.

"Onyx is..." Lucky trailed off, seeming unable to tell them either.

Tsurugi undid his transformation and walked over to where Onyx's body laid on the ground. He knelt down and picked them up, cradling them close in his arms. They were growing colder by the minute. There was no life left in them. They were gone...

"No..."

"It can't be..."

Stinger and Naga were shocked. Tsurugi looked back over at them. There was sorrow in their eyes. Sorrow and sympathy.

"Let's get out of here. We need to blow this place up before the bomb explodes." Lucky said.

The four of them made their way out of the moraimars. When they had thrown Cuervo out, it had broken the defense. The moraimars was able to be destroyed now. They just needed to get away from it.

Once outside, Lucky gave the mecha the clear to attack. In no time at all, the moraimars was hit and taken down. The galaxy was saved. All that was left was to get rid of Cuervo. Tsurugi no longer faltered in his resolve. He had no desire to save Cuervo anymore. Not when he had killed Onyx and laughed about it. Onyx had been right that this Cuervo was not the one they knew from the past at all.

The groups gathered together. Tsurugi fell behind as the four of them walked to the meeting area. How was he going to handle everyone seeing this? Would they blame him if they knew what had happened?

"Stinger! Naga!" The rest noticed the first two of their group.

"How did everything go?" The commander asked.

Neither replied. The heaviness was starting to get suffocating once more.

"Guys?" Champ prompted them for a response. "Did something happen?"

"Yeah..." Naga nodded.

Tsurugi held back. He wanted them to say what had happened before he walked over with Onyx. He didn't want them to get the news by seeing their dead body. Lucky remained by his side, trying his best to offer support. There was not much he was able to do. Nothing could make this better. Nothing could bring back Onyx.
