Acceptance

Inside of the facility is in ruins. Rubbles are falling from the ceiling, electricity goes out on the wires, and because of Dr. Burdock's explotion, the lab was visible from the outside.

Saber woke up. He looks to his surroundings and realizes that he is in the sewers, the lowest part of the lab. He's near on a giant hole where the flow of the water ends.

Saber's circuits are on haywire. It could be the cause of the wave that Dr. Burdock caused. He looks closely into his programs to spot the problem...

"NOOOOO!!!"

Because of his voice, Alpha woke up.

"My powers... My abilities..." Alpha heard him and looks to his programs. Three genes that was supposed to be in them are gone. The other one was still on them but on the verge of disappearing.

"Saber, that's enough. Your pursuit for power is at end. Let's just forget about this and go home." Alpha tries to give him a second chance. Deep inside, he just wants to help him from his evil ways. He still thinks that... he might change.

"I'm not done yet! We still have a score to settle." Saber unsheathes his swords.

"We're brothers, Saber. We're supposed to have the same opinion."

"Unfortunately, our opinions are at odds, Brother,"

"I Need More Power."

Alpha then realized something. There's no hope for Saber now. His mind is filled with pride and will not stop until he gets what he wants.

Alpha changed his mind. He will not think Saber as a Brother, but as a foe. A threat to the Land of Dawn.

"I guess there's no point to negotiate then." Alpha puts out his spear. "Indeed. After all, one of us has to die." Saber readies his swords.

Rain pours down to the facility. It was so heavy that the water from the sewers is rising up. They don't mind.

No one will interfere with their battle. Alpha's companions are in Rooney's house and the only Scientist in the lab is dead. The victor... will be decided by their twisted fate.

...

...

...

Saber combines his 'Charge' and Argus' 'Meteoric Sword' and attacks Alpha. Before his sword even hit him, he lifts him over his back with his long spear and hits Saber furiously by Zilong's 'Dragon Flurry'.

Saber knocks him off the ground and hits him three times before he come down and puts out his Flying Swords. Alpha tries to heal himself by his own skill and uses Beta to strafe Saber. He slash his spear forward and Beta strafes Saber again. Beta continuously shoots Saber after that.

He uses Argus' 'Demonic Grip' to stop Alpha for a while and attacks him. With Argus' ability 'Warmonger', his attacks are even faster then before because of his wounds.

While they're fighting, the laboratory is on fire, even rain can't put it out. Because of this, it is causing some of the electronic equipment to explode. The lab is slowly turning to ruins.

"SABER!!!!!" Alpha use his spear to stun him and uses Zilong's 'Supreme Warrior' to make his attacks even faster. He charges to Saber and attacks him even faster.

"RAAHHH!!!!!!!!" Saber turns to a fallen angel and attacks Alpha with all of his might. He tries to get away from him as far as possible.

It's too late...

Saber uses his combination skill again and charges to Alpha with his powerful stab. Saber finally stabs him. His sword goes through his stomach, Alpha is unable to survive this kind of attack.

"g...guh..!..cough...." Alpha is gushing out blood. His internal organs have been severely damaged.

"haa...haa... I..am the strongest cyborg..." Saber barely survived that. If it weren't for Argus' skill, he would've been died. But because Alpha starts to get further to him, he isn't regained his full health. But that doesn't matter, he won. He finally killed his brother to prove him he's the strongest.

"no...n..no.." Saber gets his sword out of Alpha's chest and aims for the head. "Don't worry, Alpha. I'll make sure to never let your friends behind. They'll be next." Saber slashes to his brother's neck.

"No...Not Yet!"

Alpha is gone. He is nowhere to be seen. The only thing Saber sees is smoke. Did he self-destruct? Saber thought of that. He looks around to find him.

"What? A cat?" He sees a cat in the sewers. He thought of it as strange at first. He gets closer to the cat.

"No... Wait... It's..!!!"

It's Molina!! Saber knows what's going to happened but it is too late. Molina chases Saber and turns him into a cat spirit. Alpha then appeared behind him. He uses Nana's spell and attacks Saber with his magic.

He tries to get away but because of his reckless decision, he's hit twice and stunned him.

Alpha charges him and stabs him through his chest.

"You're strong, Saber. I would've died if I weren't so lucky. Thankfully, I can handle five heroes so I can have the remaining two."

"Why?... Why is my swords....Broken?..." "Saber..."

An explosion occurred. From that, they already know their current situation.

"Alpha... You have to get out now. The lab is going to be destroyed."

Alpha is shocked that Saber actually said that. To think that after all of that, Saber tries to save own brother whom he tries to kill.

Saber tries to stand up and goes to the hole while looking at his brother.

Alpha tries to chase him but when he's near, Saber's sword points to him.

"Leave me and go. If you don't want to be trapped in this place."

"How about you, Saber? With your wounds, I don't think you can make it."

"I can't go, Alpha.

This place... is special for me. It is where we're born. It is our home."

Saber falls down to the pit.

Alpha understands his choice. He doesn't want to make his brother live with his sins crawling on his back. He just want to let it end. Without a second thought, he hurries back out the lab.

...

"Hey! Alpha, you're back." He enters to the house with his allies waiting for him.

"So... is Saber..." "He's gone. He destroyed himself and fell deep into the lab. Now that he's gone, the Land of Dawn will regain balance once more."

Alpha goes back to his room. Angela looks at Alpha notices something about him.

"Alpha? Are you crying?" Alpha stops. "Angela... you do know that I don't cry much, right? It's just the rain."

Alpha looks at her with a smile and goes to his room.

The rain already stopped a few hours ago.

It's sensible that he mourns to his brother. Even if they're robots, they still feel emotion. No one will never cry over their brother.

Now that Saber is gone, the Land of Dawn is at peace. Alpha and his allies continues to fight with other heroes of the land. Alpha's modifications are gone so he can fight fairly to his opponents.

He still wish that he saved Saber back then. But no matter the regrets he has, he tries to forget the past and always think to his future.

He finally accepted his grief.
