Operation: Bug Stomper. (For Indigo)

Lunar quickly readjusted herself as Cesba awoke in her grasp, this wasn't the first time the robot girl flew with a partner. Heck she carried Light and he weighed well over 230 pounds. She was built to be his partner after all, so she needed some strong materials behind that frame of hers. "Please do not struggle, I am extracting you out of harm's way. You will still be evacuated once our strike team takes the leader down." Lunar stated, one thing she always had was a polite and calm tone. Really helped with making sure people didn't panic.

The robot girl dropped Cesba next to Shomei, who quickly prepared himself for another shot. The SDF officer assessed the situation, drawing on his training from decades past. Just one shot could change the tide of the battle, Chon had wounded Reclusia there to where she nearly fell down. That was when Akatsuki had the idea, his bullet fired at the spider legs of the queen. It was a narrow shot sure, but the ageless soldier had pulled off harder shots in the past. Sho took a deep breath, readied the rifle and prepared to fire again. He was thankful for his gloves, otherwise his electricity manipulation powers might make the rifle explode. "Pull back!" Shomei shouted into his headset, to make sure Carlson and Chon got it.

In the room meanwhile Chon had gotten a good hit on Reclusia, he hadn't encountered an opponent quite like this one. For now he wanted to continue his attack, but Shomei's request was heard and Carlson promptly moved Jay away with him. If Reclusia got kneecapped that would make her less able to move about, the better for them.

The spider looks back at the castle. A large hole in it from where this robot apparently can in to extract Cesba. She holds tighter to the robot and nods slowly as her only response. Cesba is dropped next to the sniper. She looks in awe as Shomei took the shot. "What sort of rifle is that? There's no ball and cap or powder or ram rod..."

Jay was grabbed by Ryan and pulled back from around Reclusia. The Queen began to get up, but a bullet ripped apart one of her legs. She hissed loudly and fell onto her actual knees.

Cesba hears the hiss from here, even if Lunar and Shomei's ears could not hear it. She shivers a bit and groans. "Good...Good shot." Cesba sits down besides the sniper and marvels nor at the gun before her.

Lunar had managed to get Cesba to safety, that was the main point. And the robot girl would report this to Carlson with "Cesba has been taken to Shomei's location, and the turncoats have announced they are near the exit point. Please dispatch of the queen ASAP and prepare for an escape." as always Lunar kept on top of everything going on.

Meanwhile in the streets Light was crushing all before him, the streets were running with Arachniom blood. The man had been stabbed in countless places, even the head. But he was just laughing his head off as he proceeded to attack everything in sight, Light was a walking magically empowered WMD. He was bred for fighting, even if it was for justice Light decided to take joy in what he did.

Shomei gave an aside glance to Cesba as she admired his rifle, and from her words it was something she'd not seen before. He gave a smirk and prepared another round, this position was going to be compromised sooner or later. But Reclusia was crippled here more or less, this gun had parts that was outlawed even by the supernatural government. But it got results.

Carlson prepared his blade and placed it close to Reclusia's neck, the light reflecting off the blade. "This is your final hour, do you have any last words? Any pleas or statements of hatred?" he muttered. Carlson would afford this honour to her, though Chon stayed close and ready just in case of a trap.

Cesba made almost a child-like gaze at the sniper. Arachniom technology at this point was the equivalent to the 1900's in human technology. The Arachniom reaches a hand towards the sniper, but her other hand promptly slapped it down and away.

Reclusia was about to get up, until the blade was at her neck. She looked over to one side, to see her so if leg kn the floor a few feet away. Looking to the hoe Sid revealed Jay and Chon at the ready. Ryan asks her for any final words or requests. It really was the end for this Queen's era. "Bring me Cesba. Allow me to speak with the only confirmed traitor to the Queen...."

Carlson smirked at Reclusia's words, so that was what she wanted was it? To speak with Cesba? Despite the ruthlessness he could have when it came to giving last requests and words he had the honour to allow for it, still he was a bit concerned by what might happen. But still the odds were all in the favour of Team Starmage, Carlson nodded to Chon and then walked over to Reclusia. And went behind her, and he promptly removed his headset and stuck it on top of the queen.

"There you go, this is all you get. Your in no place to make more of this demand" Carlson muttered, with oddly enough respect in his voice. The leader of Team Starmage took a couple of steps to the left and readied his katana, ready to swing down on Reclusia's neck and lop her head off cleanly.

Chon meanwhile went onto his headset and said "Shomei Reclusia is speaking to Cesba, keep an eye on her and we'll watch the Queen. Just in case....."

In response to this the SDF officer turned to Cesba and lowered his rifle, and his right hand had bullets between his knuckles. He could use his electricity powers to discharge the bullet with an effect like that of a railgun, Shomei wasn't pointing his fist at Cesba though. It was more of a precaution than anything else.

"Get it off your chest, if there's an afterlife you'll have to wait till then to speak again. Look on the bright side though, there's that." Carlson muttered.

As Both Reclusia and Cesba got the headsets, the looked at them in awe. Neither had seen electronic communications. Only using sound pipes or letters to communicate. Reclusia and Cesba caught on pretty quickly to the technology though.

"Cesba, darling?"

"Reclusia..."

"Did you not tell them that I cannot die."

"Well yes, several times...But they dont get why. And I dont really either."

Reclusia's lips curl into an evil smile as she looked up to Ryan. "You may slay me. But do be careful of the aftermath. Be a darling and giveme to Cesba. No human should get to keep me."

"M-My Queen?" Cesba said sneakily. Reclusia did not reply, as she threww the headset off and awaited death.

Well that was quick, and it was shit that Carlson already knew. He was kinda hoping it would be something more like a love confession, or telling where the vault was. One time Carlson killed a psi user, and his last words were spoken in the mind of the young man. That was a pretty unique one, Chon's mind wasn't a good one to enter it seemed.

"For the record it doesn't matter how many times you come back, it's not only a possibility that you'll be killed. It's a certainty." Carlson muttered, and with that he lifted his blade. And brought it down, with one clean strike he'd sever the head of the Queen. It was quick and without pain.

After this Carlson would promptly take out a tissue and clean the blood off of Azura, he wrinkled his nose and looked at Chon. He simply nodded, but they weren't going just yet. Those words were cryptic, and they wanted to make sure.

Shomei meanwhile looked at Cesba and muttered softly to her "Are you okay?" while making sure to put those extra rounds away. Something told him that he might be needing them soon, based off of that conversation.

The body of the queen fell to the floor. A loud hissing sound would start. All of the Arachniom that Lightly was killing stopped and backed off, they too let out a loud hiss. Many of them retreated, dragging the bodies of the fallen with them.

Jay calms down. "Well, Im glad that's--"

Be for he could finish, a flash of blinding light would fill the room. It would be only for a second, however. After that, all that was left before the three men would be...An egg. A black and purple egg. Smoother than any gem could ever be.

Cesba looks down. "Yes...Because I watched all I've ever know come crashing down at the hands of humans....Or whatever you are. And my Queen has been killed. How do you think Im feeling about this?"

Shomei set down the rifle, it was over. The former SDF officer sighed and looked at Cesba, he could understand where she was coming from. The man glanced past the castle to see the carnage that had been caused by Light's rampage, things like this was nothing uncommon for Shomei. In response to this Sho removed the glove of his right hand, usually he used them as a part of his power to produce limitless electricity. He could use that power regardless of what he wore, but his suit and gloves were used to enhance it. Shomei gently placed his bare hand on Cesba's cheek and made eye contact with her.

"Listen to me. I know your pain, I may not look it but I'm far older than I appear. I outlived all those I cared for without knowing it, and in war there are no winners. Just those who survive, that is what I learned." Shomei was being rather different from his usual self, normally he was stoic and calm in most situations. Here though he was being kind and gentle, he felt that he could spare 30 seconds for some simple respect. Carlson was most certainly rubbing off on him.

After a brief flash the body was no more, Carlson wordlessly grabbed his headset and put it back on. Chon looked at the egg and walked to it, after a second of looking at this he stated "I say we crush this egg, we cannot trust it. The queen might be gone for good if we do."

Carlson rubbed his chin, his facial features showed that he was thinking. He then shook his head and said "Chon she stated to let Cesba have it, let's do so and monitor her. Besides if the egg releases the queen perhaps we can manipulate her into acting as our puppet, Jay what do you believe?" the young man turned to Mr Zokaro after saying that.

Cesba looks at Shomei with somewhat glassy eyes. She didn't know how he could relate. Then again, she doesnt know how he coil have outlived everyone he cared for like that and look so young. "I appreciate the kimd words you have for me. But..." She pauses and shakes her head. "I just have to move on."

In the Queen's chamber, Jay knelt down and looked closely at the egg. "My goal was to kill her. As far as I am concerned we did that. She cant cause trouble in this form, right?" He looks at the purple colored egg with black spider webs. "Give it to her. She may know what this is anyway."
