I glared at the group who suddenly appeared on my monitor, impeding me from my target. These filthy Bionis pests were enough to make me mad. How dare they defend the right hand of my sword adversary? Whether they realized the true enemy was beyond them or not was irrelevant--I would begin uprooting Zanza's control by stealing away his subordinates.
"Step aside," I directed sharply. "I have no time to squander on weaklings."
"Absolutely not!" snapped a female Homs holding a familiar rifle. "We won't allow you to condemn anyone else to your mental slavery!"
I gritted my teeth, recognizing that this pathetic group was already aware of my secret. "That matter is irrelevant, for now I have pinpointed the scum among us," I stated, gesturing at the winged lady beyond them. "It is she that helps
him cultivate power just so that he might unleash further devastation. For that reason, I absolutely must avenge what he has done to Mechonis. The cries of my people resounded in agony for an eternity; thus I will not back away from this opportunity."
"And what if you're wrong?" the female Homs queried. "How can you be so sure that she had anything to do with the Bionis attacking Mechonis? What makes subjecting her just in your eyes?"
Tch, such a stubborn woman. With but one step I could crush her with Yaldabaoth, my vessel, yet her friends guarded her too well. Nonetheless, my quarry was just within reach. I took a step forward. "So you would doubt my convictions, my reasons. In order to avenge my people, I've risked everything. Can you say the same?"
"Of course we can," the female Homs said, calmly raising her rifle. "We've journeyed this far, fought together, and
grieved at the loss of important companions. My companions and I have lost much, yet gained just as many experiences while together. These memories will remain with us, even unto death."
Her words rankled my skin. "Wrong!" I retorted lividly. "You are just bugs intended to feed the life of the Bionis. Do not speak to me of your foolish unity!" Willing Yaldabaoth's tail to swing out, I knocked the ragdolls aside and reached down towards my prey, who remained completely still.
However, right as my hand was about to close around her, a radiant light filled the air and refracted off of Yaldabaoth's gilded plates. Inside the cabin, I threw an arm in front of my eyes, though the glare still left me dazed. Even in this state, I was confident that nothing would penetrate my vessel's armor, not even the Monado without a proper wield--
My eyes widened as the chestplate was cleaved open, and a figure peered through the gap. An aura of golden light surrounded him, and an enormous, intricate halo whirled leisurely around his head. "Stubborn mortal," he said caustically. "So desperate to cling to your pathetic life. Even when there is no hope for you!"
The being stabbed a Monado prototype through my chest and pulled it free. "Zanza!" I gasped, reaching out toward him. But as I did, darkness framed my vision and slowly the life seeped from me until I could feel only the cold dread of my failure.
