Mobile Suit Gundam: Blood Price

The Princess and the Beast

Claudia's POV

A soundless war cry erupted from the newly freed Beast.

It was no knight or Armor.

It was a monstrosity akin to a Manic Beast filled with Bloodlust.

It stood tall, towering even the largest ogres and orcs. It's legs are thick and powerful. It's single arm thick and powerful, ending with a wicked clawed hand that's looks capable enough to eviscerate a knight with a single slice. It's head was designed with kin likeness to Mika's armor.

A V-like horn.

Curiously, it's left arm is missing from its shoulder.

"Alicia, get Celestine out of here!" I screamed at the dumbstruck girl, snapping her into action.

My scream also alerted the Beast, it's baleful red eyes locking on Celestine.

Oh no you don't.

The floor caves in with its movement, the sheer power in it's legs are undeniable. It threw itself to Celestine, claws reaching out for the Goddess.

Fortunately, I was already on the move.

"Urgh!" I grunted as I smashed my shoulder on its torso, stopping it on its track.

Surprisingly light for its bulk.

A kick to the torso give me some space before it can retaliate, allowing me turn at Alicia.

She already has Celestine in her arms.

"Alicia! Is that you?!" Celestine yelped in her arms.

"Yes, Celestine-sama."

Good.

"Alicia, take her out of here now!" I ordered her.

"But what about you, Lady Claudia?! We can take it down together!"

"No!" Goddess damnit, listen to me girl, "Celestine comes first, leave! That's an order!"

Just go foolish girl!

I watched with baited breath as the beast crawled up before standing tall.

It's entire attention on me.

That's right, eyes on me.

"Lady Claudia!" I turned to catch a shield thrown at me.

"Please come back." My dear student said before leaving with the Goddess in tow.

I can't promise that.

But I can try.

For now, I need to fight this Beast.

Strapping the shield and drawing my Beam Saber, I took a stance.

"Come at thee!"

Let's see how do I stack up against a Beast of Old.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

It cried out before launching itself to me.

Mika's POV

Screams filled the entire forest as I hunted down men and monster a like. No one can escape or hide. Those who tried to exit the forest will find themselves speared by the DRAGOONS and those who tries to fight back will themselves bisected, shot and crushes in my hands.

It was a slaughter with no challenge.

Heck, even Prim started to help me.

The girl has natural instincts in piloting the Murasame, dipping low in the tree canopies, spooking out anyone who tries hiding from me.
