Chapter 144 vs [ Silver Gospel ] - IV Final

[Sir... you better finish quickly because your blood pressure is rising rapidly... the risk... risk... risk...]

". . ." -Cloud clenched his teeth as he destroyed the last remaining black Is around him, leaving only [Silver Gospel] as the last enemy- "Raiden...concentrate all your functions on infiltrating our silver friend's CPU"

[. . .]

Cloud again lunged at [Silver Gospel] as he felt like his entire body was about to break. He gritted his teeth furiously and increased his speed to the maximum as he watched as [Silver Gospel] backed away as fast as he could.

"You're not going to escape!" The blond roared as blood ran from his mouth because the damage was starting to spread.

". . ." -[Silver Gospel] quickly stopped and began to accumulate energy in his wings as he 'peered' at his opponent. It seems that it had come to the conclusion that it would not be able to escape from the blonde, so instead of continuing to waste energy, it decided to fight directly.

Cloud smiled when he saw this as a great pain began to rise in his chest but he decided to ignore it- "Come on. Raiden!"

[Amidamaru] began to glow with greater intensity but you could tell that Cloud didn't have much energy left as the white flames around her began to slowly fade.

"It's all up to you, friend..." Cloud thought as his weapon collided with [Silver Gospel's] energy sword.

* * * * *

"Not bad for a rookie," Autumn said as she looked at the exhausted raven-haired boy, "But it's time to get this over with."

She had received the information that Cloud was on his last legs and that he would most likely die from physical overexertion, so she decided that it was a good time to capture her target seeing that the other girls were still busy with the Auto- ES.

Ichika's eyes started to turn red as his energy consumption increased- "You're going to pay for what you did!"

"I'm sorry... but like I said, it's time for the games to end" - the Phantom Task pilot said while making a movement of her hands - "I guess it's time for me to show you the [Unique Ability] of my [Arachne ], [Hellish Thread]"

"Ack!" -Ichika felt how his body was tied by hundreds of fine invisible threads-"H-How?"

"As I dodged your attacks, I created threads of invisible energy" - Autumn said calmly - "These stuck to your IS and when I activated them again, they solidified and here we are"

". . ." Ichika fell silent as he felt his energy consumption steadily increasing.

"I see you noticed..." Autumn smiled as she looked at the boy "As long as you don't get rid of my strings, they will slowly absorb your energy."

"Ichika!" Rin exclaimed as she flew in her direction upon seeing her boyfriend's predicament.

"I see we have company" - said the Phantom Task pilot.

* * * * *

"Shit Rin!" Houki exclaimed in surprise seeing how her friend left them behind to help Ichika, although that wasn't the problem, she left her enemies with them as well.

". . ." - The girls clenched their teeth as they resisted the urge to curse the girl but they couldn't blame her. Ichika was her boyfriend, so it was obvious that she would care about him, but they also loved Cloud, even two of them were in a relationship with the blonde and right now he was fighting to the point of being on the edge.

"Houki...go help Cloud!" - exclaimed Charlotte - "Help him end his fight and get him out of here!"

"Ok..."-muttered the girl as she began to use more energy in her weapons so she could finish off her enemies.

* * * * *

[S-Sir... t-t-t-t-time limit... 30... seconds...]

Cloud ignored his partner's message as his weapon collided with his enemy's again.

"Cloud!" Houki exclaimed as she flew towards her but Cloud didn't care because she knew that the moment she lost sight of her enemy, it would be the end of her.

Houki quickly increased the energy usage on her right Katana to launch an energy attack, only to see [Silver Gospel] back up again.

[20... seconds...]

Cloud gritted his teeth and flew after his enemy because he knew he didn't have much time left before he fell unconscious.

[10 seconds..]

*crack crack*

Cloud widened his eyes as he noticed how [Amidamaru] started to slowly break but still he continued to attack because he knew he didn't have much time left.

Houki moved quickly to help him, only to notice a slight detail. [Silver Gospel] seemed to be moving more and more strangely.

[5 seconds...]

". . ." -Cloud felt how his gaze became blurred while his body was paralyzed for a few seconds, only to feel how a large number of energy bullets began to impact against his armor.

"Cloud!" - Houki exclaimed as he watched in terror as the blonde fell into the sea, only to notice how [Silver Gospel] was behind him - "Don't even think about it, bitch!"

Houki flew with an angry look behind her enemy because it was obvious that she wanted to finish the job, but she was surprised when she noticed how an unknown female voice sounded in her communicator-"I know you think it's a trap but I don't plan to hurt you! !"

"Who are you?!" Houki exclaimed as he flew after the blond boy.

"My name is Natasha Fairs, United States Representative cadet and [Silver Gospel] pilot" - answered the unknown woman.

"!" -Houki's eyes snapped open as she looked at the silver IS because she had received the information that the woman was unconscious- "Were you awake?!"

"Not exactly" - Natasha sighed - "I was in an Induced Coma state but my mind was conscious and connected to the AI ​​of [Silver Gospel], so despite not being able to perform any commands, I could see everything it was doing ... I'm sorry..."

"You can talk later, just save Cloud!" Houki exclaimed. She didn't care that the woman regained control of the IS from her, nor that she felt guilty for her actions, all she cared about was the fact that her boyfriend was safe.

Natasha quickly increased her speed and carefully picked up the blond boy who was in such bad shape that her biosignals were almost non-existent-"I'm sorry..."

Houki appeared at the woman's side as she stopped, only to grab her boyfriend and check his condition, only to let out a terrified scream after seeing the results made by her IS scan. .

The girl couldn't stop her tears, further increasing Natasha's guilt, who had taken off her helmet, showing her beautiful face.

"Big Sis!" Tina exclaimed excitedly but her expression changed from her seeing the blond boy's state-"Cloud!"

"Houki, get him out of here!" - shouted Charlotte who was still fighting against the black IS - "Take him to where Chifuyu-san is!"

Houki didn't think twice, she grabbed her boyfriend and sped out of the place, leaving some furious girls and a guilty Natasha.

"Then you can continue to feel guilty... for now help us stop that bitch" - Charlotte said coldly. She knew that the woman in front of her wasn't to blame for what had happened, but that didn't mean she wasn't furious with her.

Cloud had sacrificed too much to help her, to the point that her life was currently in danger.

"Ok…" Natasha nodded as she coldly glared at the [Arachne] pilot. Both she and the damned terrorist organization that was behind her had been to blame for the situation that had happened... and it was time to pay them back for all the trouble they caused her.

"Hmm...things aren't looking too good for me," Autumn said as she frowned under her helmet.

In front of her were Ichika and Rin tied together thanks to her energy threads.

The girls were about to launch themselves at them but fell silent when they noticed how two unknown IS appeared in front of them.

One of them was immediately recognized because it was none other than [Silent Zephyrs] while the other an imposing gold and red colored IS with a slight Phoenix appearance.

"M-chan! Darling~!" - Autumn said with a big smile - "I see you came to join the party"

"No..." - the golden IS woman denied - "We came to help you with the withdrawal... the US Reinforcements are about to arrive"

"But what about the goal!" Autumn exclaimed in a childish tone.

"Autumn..." - said the woman in golden armor seriously.

"Ok... let's go..." Autumn sighed as she looked at those present- "I guess they were saved... although this is not the last time we will see each other..."

The girls watched seriously as the three women retreated because they felt the gold IS woman was dangerous, too dangerous.

"I hope you get better... Orimura Ichika..." - said the girl who piloted [Silent Zephyrs] - "Because as you are, you are a disgrace to the Orimura surname..."

"!" -Ichika widened his eyes when he heard the girl's voice because she was familiar, too familiar.

"I hope that the next time we see each other, you will be a challenge..." - the girl said before disappearing.

". . ." Ichika was silent as he felt like shit.

"We better go back... we have to check on Cloud's status" - Charlotte said with concern as they all returned to the mobile base of operation in Tabane.
