Hope full of love

A large white room with a natural silence enveloped the place when Ariel and Lucia entered it. The white room is decorated with a circular portal above the ceiling glowing with bright blue lines.

"Huff... Huff... Maybe it's safe here for a while... Lucia, are you okay?"

"I'm fine ...."

"That's good... Can you secure the files that are in the pile on the table?"

"Okay... I'll take care of it right away."

"Yes. I'm asking for help." Ariel immediately went to the other side to get the gun that was on her table. While reloading bullets.

"I have to buy time... Looks like I have to run the system first" Put the weapon in his trouser pocket and moved towards the system monitor in the room. "Yosh... I have to arrange it immediately before they find this place" Tracking the system to immediately carry out maximum destruction.

(Maximum destruction will be carried out in 30 minutes)

(Enter access code)

(ARIEL)

(Maximum destruction time has been set)

(Do?)

Ariel looked at Lucia who was busy tidying up a pile of files. Looking at 1 cable and 1 CCTV camera above it.

Click!

Hit the monitor hard while shooting a CCTV that was above it.

*DAR! DAR!*

"Ariel, what are you doing..?"

Ariel immediately approached him. "No, I just destroyed the CCTV camera so they couldn't track us... Sorry, the system here has been damaged by all of them... We have to survive and escape from this place."

"I see. It's true that they have secured the main gate area. They should have controlled the central system freely."

"Exactly!... I will help you"

"Thank you... But, why do I have to clean up all these files?" Lucia asked while looking at him seriously.

"This file is very important... If they manage to find it. Then this world will not be good..."

"What do you mean?...You want to do something crazy, don't you?"

"Yeah, sometimes I get bored... So, I always deliberately research crazy things just for my own enjoyment... Don't worry, I never thought about being able to rule this world... If I remember, maybe I should have had this pile of files burn."

"But, why is this pile of files still there?... Is it because you forgot to throw them away and burn them?"

"Exactly right"

"It turns out that a genius like you can do everything, huh?"

"Ahahhha... You shouldn't think like that. Sometimes I'm really stupid if something makes me feel uncomfortable."

"Oh, I see."

All files have been collected and arranged neatly.

"Yosh... Time to—"

*BOMB!*

An explosion was heard booming from the door. The intruders managed to break into the entire room. Ash smoke filled the room as the troops walked in.

"It's bad... Looks like they've broken into the entire laboratory." Ariel and Lucia were hiding behind a high table on the far left.

"Search every corner of this place!. Don't be blind because you can't see it!"

The terrorists began to advance. Ariel and Lucia were busy whispering. Their worries were like blank sheets of paper that had no meaning to fear just because death would determine their path. Because basically, they are aware that humans will definitely die in time.

Anxiety and fear are like iron leaves that can keep them upright and cannot be destroyed.

Reload bullets. "6 people, huh?"

"You want to fight them? It's just the two of us, you know."

"What are you thinking?... I'm brave like this because there is a beautiful angel who will definitely protect me."

"I see. You're right... I shouldn't keep relying on you."

Sometimes wise, but stupid.

"It's just nothing... Your attitude always wants to make me laugh all the time," Ariel answered a little uneasy.

"What's so hard about laughing? You can do it, right?" Lucia answered in an innocent tone.

Sigh. "...How could I possibly want to do that now."

"So what's the plan?"

"Yes, that's right. It's better if you just act like that."

Lucia pouted.

"Did you bring your shield?"

Instantly a pentagon shield appeared in Lucia's left hand.

"Yes. I always have it with me whenever I want to summon it."

"Good. Are you ready?"

"Yes. Tell me the instructions...."

The terrorists continued to search every corner of the room while destroying several items and research that Ariel had carried out for decades.

A thin man walked slowly towards where Ariel and Lucia were hiding. The man was still unconscious because his eyes were always looking to the right and left. The man kept pointing his assault weapon in every direction just in case.

"I should just blow up this place instead of taking him alive... How annoying!"

So ....

Ariel immediately kicked the white table quickly so that it hit the man while giving Lucia a signal.

"Come on!"

"Yes!"

Ariel quickly jumped up and shot a thin man in front of her.

*DAR! DAR!*

"What?!"

With a quick movement, Ariel immediately shot the man on the far left which killed him before firing several bullets at him while being protected by Lucia who was on the right shoulder.

"Die all of you!!" 4 terrorists immediately shot at them simultaneously.

Lucia's shield managed to block all of this swiftly.

The barrage of bullets couldn't penetrate Lucia's mighty defense which could withstand it easily.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaa....." Lucia ran towards them while enduring a series of bullets, followed by Ariel right behind her for cover.

Instantly, their weapons ran out of bullets.

"You damn human!"

They were restless, they didn't understand why Lucia and Ariel suddenly wanted to approach them. They were spontaneously a little afraid and hurried when reloading their weapons.

Ariel immediately walked to the left and fired two bullets right at his head.

*DAR! DAR!*

4 terrorists have died.

Swiftly, Lucia immediately kicked and punched the fat man hard with her shield.

1 burly man managed to reload the bullet quickly.

"Dead!!!"

"Not that easy!!" Throws his shield quickly towards the front.

Simultaneously a series of bullets were fired quickly.

Lucia's shield danced while reflecting the bullets that hit her. Making his shield succeed in piercing the burly man's chest with a hard push that sent him crashing with the impression of destruction on the wall in the room.

"...."

"As I thought... You can really be relied on, Lucia." Walk over to him.

Lucia recalled the shield attached to the wall.

Sigh. "..... Well, this is still not much. Thank goodness we both managed to do it..."

"Yeah. Very good cooperation... Let's get out of this place."

"Okay"

So ....

"...?!!"

"Lucia!!"

The fat man managed to get back up while holding a gun and pointing it at Lucia from behind.

"Die you bastard!"

*BANG!*

Ariel immediately moved quickly, causing her left arm to be shot in the shoulder to protect Lucia. Swiftly, Ariel immediately pointed the gun at him, firing 3 bullets which quickly hit the fat man's hands and head. 

*DAR! DAR! DAR!*

"Gahhhhh...." Holding his left shoulder.

"Ariel, are you okay?!"

"I'm fine... It's just a small wound. I can endure it."

"Wait a minute! ...." Taking off his official clothes while tearing the white cloth on his clothes.

"Hey hey... Why are you opening it instead!" Ariel was embarrassed when she saw Lucia doing that in front of her.

"You can look at it if you want. I don't mind... After all, this is a special outfit that has magic crystal fragments covered in it. My appearance isn't too vulgar, right?"

"Eh...?!!. Not that vulgar, you say?!" Seeing the perfect curves of her body made Ariel unable to breathe regularly.

"Yeah. This black body suit doesn't stand out too much, right?" While showing it to Ariel innocently.

"I know what kind of person he is. But... Why do I have to see him too... I'm not ready to see such beautiful curves!!!" Ariel thought to herself.

"Why does your face look weird like that? You're thinking about dirty things, aren't you?!" The answer was sullen.

Sigh. "...N-no... it's too beautiful for me. You have to take care of it... Yes, the design of this body suit suits you. I like it...."

"Thank God if you like it..." Putting her two index fingers together with her face flushed with embarrassment.

"Why is this kid so happy when I say that!!... Could it be him..?" Ariel thought.

he continued. ".... Lu-lucia-san?"

"What is it?"

"When do you want to do it?"

"D-d-do what?... If you want... Now I'm ready." He answered while stammering because he thought he was thinking about what he wanted.

"What do you think?."

"Uh...?"

"I mean, when are you going to treat my wound?"

His face suddenly became irritated. ".... Ariel... You!..." Directly punched Ariel in the face.

".....!!"

".... Eh..? Why is your face so hard?" Lucia answered, suddenly stunned for a moment because she felt something strange about Ariel.

"That's bad..." Ariel thought.

he continued. "That's just your feeling... If you really had the intention of killing me, I should have jumped, right?"

"That is true."

"Yeah. Maybe because you still feel sorry for me. So that didn't happen...."

"Thank goodness it's not too much... Fine, I'll put this cloth on you right away."

Sigh. "Yes. I asked for his help."

Lucia immediately wrapped the white cloth around Ariel's shoulders.

"Yosh... Maybe this is enough to endure the pain"

"Yes. I thank you... Let's go"

"Yes."

Suddenly, a crystal dragon rushed in destroying the wall from the front.

"Cough... Cough... Now what?"

"Impossible!... Why is there suddenly a crystal dragon in this place?"

"Grahhhhhhhhh...."

The dragon quickly attacked Ariel and Lucia with its claws. Ariel immediately pushed Lucia in another direction to avoid them all together.

"...Hey! Look here ugly dragon!"

Fired several bullets at his eyeballs. Instead the dragon saw him. Instead, he turned around unconcerned and tried to attack Lucia who was lying down with his claws.

"I won't let it... I beg you!... Move quickly! Fast!!"

Ariel dashed quickly as lightning flashed from the soles of her feet, successfully protecting Lucia.

"....!!"

*JLEB!*

One of the crystal dragon's huge claws managed to pierce his chest from behind. Lucia who saw it glared in disbelief in silence.

Blood splattered out onto his face. His heart, mind and soul were shaken by the sight of his eyes shaking violently.

"..... Ariel...." The claws were pulled out, revealing a robot body that had been mixed and fused with a human body. "Why .....?!!"

Ariel's body fell in front of Lucia.

".... Why? ... What actually happened?"

Remembering memories of togetherness that will never be forgotten.

"How..? This rainbow crystal is beautiful, isn't it?"

"You're very cute when you talk like that." Chuckling softly.

"Can you help me for a moment?... I'll definitely treat you to a meal."

"Woahhhh... Great! A woman like you can really be relied on."

".... Believe me Lucia... The world is very beautiful if you can see it from above... Don't worry... I will never leave you. I promise... I want you to be able to continue living happily... Now , open your eyes... Lucia."

.

.

Shedding two tears filled with the light of hope from the corners of her eyes.

".... I'm too weak... No matter how hard I try to move forward... It will all be in vain if I do it alone... I'm useless... Now I have no one anymore. .. I myself ...."

Someone tapped his shoulders from behind.

"...?!!!"

"What are you thinking..? If you were alone, there's no way the two of us would believe you, right?"

"You two ...?"

"Yes. We all feel the same thing... There's nothing wrong with us fighting together."

"Exactly!... You are not alone... There are still us who feel the same way as you in this world. You must not give up... You still have a long way to go..."

"I see. Thank you... Looks like there are a lot of main characters in this world...."

Suddenly, someone walked in front of the two of them as the leader.

"No, no... You can't talk like that... I'm the real main character..."

"Who are you?" Lucia asked.

A man in a black robe wore a medium blue eye mask and 2 shooting guns in both hands.

"I am... The true demon king of the void... Shinka. An ordinary young man who will conquer all other worlds!"
