The Heart Five

Chapter 7: Seriously, what's wrong with these Ladies?

"Being abandoned by the Supreme Being of Essence who created you, who else would you worship? Then out of nowhere, he came to us. He came, the Supreme Being that we worship now. He's given us new purpose as defects and new powers. What is his reason for saving us and reviving our Supremo? We look up above at the brightest star out there, the Essential Core. Defects, rejects, corrupted," a greenish colored essence being teaching a class of eighteen year-old recruits, "those beings think they are pure! They never knew what it means to be the lesser gods. They never felt the need to survive. Even some of our fellow defects rebel against us, that we were wrong all along! We follow a Supreme Being other than our own creator, they say. I tell them back that he saved us and he took us in and converted us! He made us stronger and more powerful than ever! Soon, after waiting for so many years, as one of the remaining survivors of the old war and given a longer lifespan that exceeds our normal life cycle and following beside the great Supremo! We-"

The alarm system goes off

"Take these new recruits back to the headquarters and give them our weapons of death," the grim look on his face while grinning suggests that he's not afraid. "Those pure-minded bastards are not prepared, THEY ARE NOT PREPARED!"

"What the hell?" Suxil (Justice) catches his boomerang and hides behind a rock. "I've never seen weapons and powers like those."

"True," Yxede (Leadership) goes over to Suxil's side. He prepares to charge his trident for the next blast. "How are you holding up, Kevin?"

"Even with all of us having the Razelli's (Luck) blessing, we are still losing soldiers."

"Don't die out there," Yxede heads out and aims at a group of defects, "Vapor Blade!"

The massive explosion takes out a lot of the defects in their spot. Meanwhile, Gazbleir is escorted by Saxpir Razma, captain of the Blue Eden Squad and god of empathy.

"Have you seen this?" he picks a weapon from one of the dead defects and shows it to Gazbleir, "It looks like they've been doing something."

"We're struggling even with both of my powers, their sheer number is making it difficult for me to attack and evade at the same time," The head captain holds his breath. "We take these weapons for study. I'll head further into the battle."

"I'll go back and assist Ziplev (Hatred)," he salutes the head captain and takes off, "Don't die, Gazbleir."

"Right back at you," Gazbleir summons his weapon, the Heart Five.

Zirack (Willpower) goes to his side as she hones her claw weapons, "Need help?"

"Captain Zirack," Gazbleir nods at him. "I never expected you'd come here.

"I was thinking the same thing," Semcaxa (Judgment), "but it looks like Capt. Zirack got to you first."

"Even you Capt. Dezlar?" the head captain becomes empowered. "Looks like you are getting used to that flail. Don't tell me..."

"Look at you ladies gathering here. Head Captain must be very lucky to have you women by his side," Zenphea (Beauty) catches up to them.

"What brings you here, Beauty?" Semcaxa raises her eyebrows.

"I was just thinking of assisting the head captain," she wipes the blood of from her ax. "I don't his kids to lose their beloved father figure, you know?"
