Choices have Consequences.

"Can you walk?" I asked pulling Kayla up.

"I guess, so." Kayla said "Are they-"

"Dead? As much as I'd like to kill them, it isn't my decision to make." I said looking at seven unconscious bodies.

"I'm sorry for dragging you in all this, a-and thank you for saving me." she said looking embarrassed, I was surprised her cheeks didn't turn red.

"Not the heartless bitch anymore, huh?" I said playfully.

SMACK!

"OUCH! What was that for!" I asked caressing my right cheek.

"For opening your big mouth." She smirked. "It's already late, we better get going."

"And this time, I'll drop you off."

Kayla didn't say anything, she simply nodded, grabbed my hand and started walking. None of us utter a single word till we reached Kayla's house.

"Well, this is it. Thanks for helping me out. I don't even want to imagine what would've happened if you hadn't arrive." She finally said.

"No need to thank me, after all that's what friends are for right?"

"Guess so. See you later then." She said, and went inside. I went back to my own place.

I. WAS. EXHAUSTED. Who knew summoning all my monsters at once would be so tiresome. I went in my room, and crashed on the bed.

The next morning, someone was constantly banging my door. I thought it was Kayla, so as painful as it felt, I got up and unlocked the door.

"Kayla, I SWEAR-" I looked at the people standing at the door, there were at least 40 person. All dressed in their combat suits.

"Who are you people?"

"I'm Captain Neil, from the Global Intelligence Agency. I'm here by the order of Colonel Bismark, to arrest you on the charge of assaulting Minister Wong's private security force. Please come peacefully with us, we'd rather not use force against you until it's absolutely necessary." A guy wearing a black reflective helmet Said. "Deputy, give me the handcuffs."

"I refuse." I said.

"What do you mean?" The Captain asked.

"I have a right against being handcuffed, I'm not absconding now, am I? Since I'm not doing that, you can't put cuffs on me, not until the crime is proven." I was a law student two millenniums ago, maybe the right has been revoked but it's worth a shot.

"You mean, you're willing to come with us?" Captain asked again.

"Yes, because whatever I did, I did to protect a woman's honor."

"We are not here to judge you. You will face a trial, and if proven guilty, you'll be punished. Put him in the portal."

THUD.

All of a sudden, I was standing in what seemed to be a 'Court of law'. I looked around and nearly everyone I knew was there. Kayla, Leroy, Lawrence, and even President Niall. All of them looked at me and nodded.

"Let's proceed with the case." A man wearing black robes said. He was sitting on the high chair, that meant this guy was the one who'll be judging my 'crime'.

"Chief Warrant officer Zeroll, are you responsible for assaulting these 7 men?" The judge pointed to the people that tried to sexually abuse Kayla last night.

"Yes." I replied.

"What made you to beat them up so brutally?"

"Your honour, Most of those wounds are self inflicted. I didn't use any unnecessary force. My attacks were focused on knocking them out, rather than inflicting unnecessary damage."

"You haven't answered my question yet, Officer. Why did you assaulted them?"

I looked at Kayla, she nodded. Maybe she wanted me to tell the truth.

"If I hadn't stepped in, these cowards would have proceeded to do horrible things to a comrade."

"What are you taking about? Could you speak openly about it?" Judge asked.

"They were planning to sexually abuse, Warrant Officer Kayla Lee."

a wave of murmuring ran through the court room.

"SILENCE!" The judge roared. "Warrant Officer Kayla Lee, could you please come and verify what Officer Zeroll has said?"

Kayla got up from her seat and walked to the witness box, after she had taken the oath to be truthful, the judge asked her again.

"Officer Kayla, did anyone among Minister Wong's security personnel tried to force himself or themselves upon you?"

I looked at Kayla, she looked at me, and then said, "No."

What was she saying? I protected her honour, I did it all for her and yet I was betrayed again?

Everyone was shocked, Leroy, Lawrence, even The President.

"What are you saying Kayla!" I shouted.

"Keep your voice DOWN in my court." The judge roared.

"But your honour! She's-"

"Keep your MOUTH SHUT!" The judge bellowed. "Officer Kayla, were you there when Officer Zeroll had attacked Minister's security personnel."

"No your honor, after dropping Zeroll at his living quarters, I went to my quarters and I was there till the morning, before I was summoned here." Kayla said, no trace of regret or sympathy was in her voice.

My heart started pumping like crazy, why, why, WHY WAS I BETRAYED AGAIN AND AGAIN! I blacked out. The next thing I heard was the verdict given by the judge.

"After reviewing all evidence and witnesses, The court has come to the judgement that, Warrant Officer Zeroll, is to be immediately stripped of his rank, and it's banished from entering any settlement the people of Earth have, EVER AGAIN. The Court is adjourned."
