Being a Trailblazer is.... [HSR FF/ Selfinsert]

5. ...go fight against your fate!

A/N: The chapter got so long that I had to split it up. So here is part 2. 
I squeezed a 5 hour video into 2 chapters. I hope it turned out well. 

~Yuki POV~

Things seemed to be going really well so far. We had made it past the Fragmentum monsters. However, Serval stayed behind to support her brother. The only thing that was annoying was that the Fragmentum had some kind of weird effect on me. My head hurt and I heard a muffled voice. ,,Yuki, are you okay?" March asked as I was struggling to stay on my feet. ,,It's okay, my head just hurts a bit.'' ,,Maybe it's the Fragmentum. Compared to this, the corrosion we saw in Backwater Pass pales into insignificance." Dan Heng said. I shook my head briefly to get rid of the pain and straightened up completely. ,,How can we pinpoint the Stellaron?'' asked Stelle. ,,Serval said that the Stellaron was very likely hidden in the Snow Plains north of Belobog. If we want to get there, I'm afraid we'll have to find the exit to this Fragmentum maze first.'' he replied. March seemed a little uneasy, just as I was. ,,Guys... does this place feel weird to you? It feels like... like there are loads of eyes staring at us.'' Seele nodded. ,,...This place makes my flesh crawl... like there are insects under my skin.'' ,,We have no guide and no way of detecting the Stellaron. We'll just have to advance gradually... and cautiously. Don't be disheartened. The stronger the Fragmentum contamination, the closer we are to the source.'' Den Heng said. 

And so we made our way through the Fragmentum. 

Serval really wasn't lying, the further we moved the colder it got. The whole time we were in the Fragmentum, I had a very unsettling feeling. To think that people had once lived here was unbelievable. And the fact that there were echoes of the past didn't make it any better. Sure, it was helpful that these echoes showed the path Bronya had taken with her mother, but it was still creepy. The final echo we found, which attacked us in the form of Bronya's mother, was the icing on the cake. 

,,We're out at last," I said, relieved that the pain and the voice in my head had finally subsided. ,,How's your head?" asked Seele. ,,Better. It stopped after we left the Fragmentum.''  ,,It's f-freezing here - the blizzard's so fierce! The power from the Trailblaze Path isn't enough to stop the cold...'' March whined. ,,It means that we're getting closer to the Stellaron... and the heart of the Eternal Freeze.'' stated Dan Heng. So I will get to see this Stellaron thing for the first time. As we followed the path, I kept seeing frozen statues or whatever it was. They seemed to be frozen in mid-motion. And a giant robotic hand seemed to be resting on the steps. ,,Did the Architects build this...?'' asked Seele. ,,Does it... look like the palm of a huge Hand to you?'' March asked. I nodded. ,,It does....'' When we arrived on the hill we immediately saw Bronya and Cocolia standing in front of something. 

,,...N-No...'' Bronya cried. Something seemed to be happening to her. ,,Do not resist, Bronya.... Accept the common will!'' said Cocolia. ,,No... I... I don't want this...'' ,,Look upon their promised future, Bronya! A world without poverty, without cold, without suffering... A world where people no longer have to pray like prisoners for survival... A world that we can guard for all eternity.'' Seele decided to step in. ,,Your brainwashing ends here, you witch!'' Bronya seemed to come back to herself. ,,...Seele?'' ,,...You came. I though the blizzards had entombed you...'' Cocolia said unhappily. Her eyes seemed to linger on me for a moment, but then she looked at the others again. ,,You wish! We're not going down before you do!'' Seele replied before turning to Bronya. ,,Bronya! I don't know what happened between you and them. Even if you explained it to me, I probably wouldn't  understand all the crazy details. But there war two things I do know... One: These guys have come through hell to get here- to seal this Stellaron thing. And two: Do you remember what I said? If anything happened to you, I'd save you. Do you understand? Even if the damage is done- even if you're completely forgotten our promise, then... then I'm just gonna have to knock you out and bring you back myself!''
