Megaman ZX Advent: Relive

Disk 13: Troubles with Rafflesia

"Heh. Not strong enough, little girl." He mocked before delivering a straight punch to her gut. She felt everything below twist and a horrible pain erupted from her body. Cielle cried out in agony. Not only was that a punch, there were protruding spikes from his knuckles. Just when she thought she already got over fighting for a day, there was this man about to kill her.

"Taste this, bitch. Dark Skill: Vortex." Black tornadoes surrounded her. It cut her skin and blood poured out profusely. Quickly, she chipped in a barrier and it helped protect her bloody body. Ionis gave her a new chip to use and she equipped it. Her sword glowed blue and a new power surge through her veins.

"Flame Skill: Howling Octave!" Five high speed continuous slashes were given to Glacé. It surprised him, but he was not one to give up. He roared in anger before trashing around. Cielle was hit by his spiked knuckles. It worsened the pain in her abdomen. She cried out and tried to cut out his hand. It was far too painful.

"Argh! F-Flame Skill: Howling Flames!" It cut his hand and cauterized it. Glacé shouted in pain.

"How dare you cut my hand, bitch!?" Cielle heaved out a painful sigh before jumping up to escape his hold. Her abdomen continued to bled. Ionis could only give her so. He was able to heal it a little, but she would still have to bandage it up.

"Cielle, Glace is not an easy opponent. You have to get out of this place. We can get the disk when we got the power to do so. Come on. Here, this chip will help." She looked conflicted. The disk was really important to her, this was the continuation of the disks in her hands.

"I... I... Fine. I will go. Escape." Her body de-materialized into thin air. Glacé roared in anger. He glared at her and Cielle felt his disdain. However, there was nothing she could do. Either she live or she die, those were the only choices.

Cielle arrived outside a quaint town. Her body felt too heavy to move. Just when she was about to lose consciousness, a blur of white appeared in front of her. It was a child with snow hair and blue eyes. She was talking in a strange language.

"Niang! Niang! Wǒmen yǒu yīgè shòushāng de rén!" It was all that Cielle could hear.

Two Days Later

Cielle groggily opened her eyes only to meet the glaring sun rays on her face. It hurt her eyes, but she forced her self to study the area. It was a neat room with purple walls and few decorative. The door opened and in view, was the little she saw before her consciousness disappeared.

"Nǐ xǐngle! Oh, wait. You don't understand my language. I am Xiao Lu. You were unconscious for three days with cuts and bruises on your body. I tried to fix it as much as I could." She said. Cielle was in awe and felt a little guilty for being a burden.

"Thank you for saving me. I would have died if it wasn't for you. I am Cielle, and I was doing my mission when I got attacked. May I know where I am now?" She asked. Xiao Lu told her that she was in the Wellspring Village owned by their ancestors. Despite it being their property, it was still influenced by the government.

"I'm just glad that even though you're under them, it's like you don't mind it at all." Cielle voiced out. Xiao Lu narrated a short history of how they got their land back. It was not easy to pacify the villagers but they did.

After the small talk, Xiao Lu left her to rest. Cielle checked her stand to see her belongings and her biometal. She turned to her side and before she c hold even get out of bed, pain erupted from her side rendering her useless. She called for Ionis and he immediately responded. He floated in front of her and asked how she was handling her injuries. She could only say that she would not like to repeat the same battle with such a crazy person.
