Light grasp

*BOOM!!*

I managed to dodge another one of her attacks, "Damn it, I'm getting tired."

"Sek! It'd be much better for us both to die!!", she lauched her limbs at full speed.

"She isn't giving me time to recover at all", I rolled out of harms way. "Fraisia!! Just because I don't have the same feelings for you, doesn't mean I can't stay around you!!!"

"Liar!! You're obviously bent on getting back with that person who hurt you!!", she summoned her holographic panels. "And once you get together with her, you'll forget me!!! Why!? Why was I born in such an era!!?"

Two mecha bots were fabricated through her command.

"She just doesn't want to understand!", I thought to myself as I evaded an attack from one of the bots. "Damn, I don't have offensive gear!"

The other bot appeared and landed a surprise attack that sent me flying. I crashed into the wall, finding it difficult to move due to my weakened state.

"My parents sold me, gave me away to some dying alien race just to save their lives", the mecha bots moved back and gave way for Fraisia to walk towards me. "These aliens wanted to use my body as a vessel, so they could replenish their dying empire. Of course, I killed them all once I got lost in my own rage."

"You had no one close to you, no one to comfort you or at least show you that you had a purpose to live", I slowly stood up. "I understand how you feel."

She shook her head, "I doubt that. The only thing people saw in me was weakness, vulnerability."

"You aren't the only one suffering in this era and you know that. I'm the last of my species but I only survived because I wanted to."

"Why Seksulfur? Why can't you be with me? why can't you give me all your love?"

"No one said I couldn't. Love doesn't fall under one blanket. It's something that sprouts when two or even more people come to understand each other", I offered my hand. "Even if I may not have the kind of love that falls under intimacy, that doesn't mean I can't love you any other way."

She looked at my hand, "I- I don't know."

"From now on, you'll be travelling with me. Help me get Shyza back", my hand reached closer.

Her hand slowly moved towards mine, "I think... I think I understand you."

"Foolish"

"ACK!!"

Fraisia began to scream in pain as she held her head, moving from side to side.

"Fraisia!!"

"Stay back!!", her eyes began to switch from spider to human over and over, "It's- It's taking over!!"

"Did you really think you managed to get rid of my empire!?", a dark voice began to go on a rage. "I've waited a long time for this!!"

"Ack! N-No!! I won't let you!!!"

"SILENCE!!"

A huge shock knocked Fraisia unconscious as purple gases began to escape from her body, taking the form of a giant spider and leaving Fraisia on the ground.

"Tch!"

"I don't think so!", the spider blocked my path, laughing evily. "You have a large amount of power! I'll make you my next vessel instead."

"If I have to tear through you with my bare hands, I'll do it", my glare cut through the monster. "Ugly faces annoy me."

"Hmph", the beast showed anger. "I'll kill you and absorb your energy then."

"Tsk, I'm basically weak right now", I thought to myself as I prepared to evade any attack.

"DIE!!"

"-Firing anti-matter explosives-"

"What?", the spider turned to its right.

A moving object broke the wall down and fired two missiles at the beast.

"Where did-"

*BOOM!*

It was blown to pieces before it could even complete its sentence. Purple ooze splattered all over along with parts of its flesh.

"Dz-Dzilaiza?"

"-Danger detected 2 minutes ago -> Immediate action completed-"

"Did it blast through the walls to get here?", the thought crossed my mind as my car moved closer.

"-Dzilaiza multi-gear user: Selsulfur -> protected-"

"T-Thanks Dzilaiza!", I ran towards Fraisia, holding her in my arms. "H-Hey! Are you alright!?"

She coughed out blood and smiled, "H-Hi, Sek. Seems like I won't be able to help you find Shyza or get back with the one you truly love."

"What are you saying!? Of course you will", I held her closer.

One of her holographic panels suddenly lit up, "-Fraisia -> brain damage: 90%-"

"N-No, that's impossible. Storage cube! Medical equipment!!", the cube appeared in a red colour.

"-No medical equipment available-"

"... No way ..."

"Sek, it doesn't matter. It's what I deserve for killing so many people", she placed her hand on my cheek. "In the end, I die with no one to love me."

"Would you stop saying that!", I held back my tears. "You've succeeded in becoming someone extremely close to me. You're one of the people I love now, get it!?"

A surprised look came up on her face, "There's no need to force it out, we just met."

"You're the only person who hasn't come close to me just for my rare power. With this, I can boldly say that you're my best friend."

Tears welled up in her eyes, "I never had any friends. Thank you, Sek." She closed her eyes, allowing her held up tears to flow down her cheeks as her heart gave a final beat.

"-User Fraisia -> Expired. Shut down procedure initiated-", the two mechs went into permanent power down along with her gear.

"There you go doing it again, Seksulfur", a forced smile appeared on my face. "No matter what I do or where I go, I always end up hurting those I choose to have close relations with."

"-Auto maintenance completed-", Dzilaiza moved beside me.

"What do I do now? Go to Shyza? Bring back Lykana or Dzinu?", I carried Fraisia's body. "Embalming pod"

A portion behind the car opened, revealing a light blue pod. I gently placed her body into it and closed it.

"I might as well isolate myself, just like the monster I am", I sat in the control seat and focused my attention on the storage cube. Thus, setting my eyes on the darkening Dzinu that floated in the cube's vacuum.
