Chapter 26 - The Sliver of Hope Returns

???: Get up!

Ryker: What? Who-

???: Get up! Please get up!

Ryker: Hera?

HeraSP: Get up, they are almost there, just hold out for a minute or so. Please!

Ryker: Sorry but I can barely even breathe let alone stand up. Estrea's charging the final attack right now Hera, sorry but if you've got some crazy plan then you better start it now.

EmeliaSP: Seriously Ryker! You're gonna give up that easily! I refuse to believe that you of all people are about to just let someone kill you.

Ryker: I did all that I could and I lost, I can't even find the strength to move my he-

EmeliaSP: That's total bs! You've been alone for your whole life and even homeless at times. If you really expect me to believe that YOU are down to this clown then I'm almost offended at how dumb you think I am. GET THE HELL UP!

HeraSP: Come on Ryker please get up and fight just a little longer, Yasu and Kiyoshi are so close. Yurie will be crushed if you die, she may even snap again.

Ryker: If she does then she can buy time for the others. All I wanted was for you guys to-

Hera/Emelia: Enough!

YurieSp: If you want me to buy you time then I will.

EmeliaSP: What! How can she hear us?

Ryker: Don't Yurie, you can't, you we-

Yurie: Stop trying to play hero with me, you really suck at it. I'm perfectly fine now.

Ryker/Hera/Emelia: What!

Estrea: It still confuses me how both Humans and Helios can find hidden wells of power when they are so desperate, just give up there is no way you can defeat me now. I'll send you to meet a goddess and her angels now, If you see Gale or Sidra, please tell them that Lord Malice sends his regards. NOW DIE! FireBolt!

Ryker: Is this really ok? Do I really want to die here, like this, at the mercy of a monster who knows nothing but his own false virtue. Dammit when did I ever care about virtue, when did all of this sin vs. virtue shit ever matter to anyone.

Yurie: Barrier!

Officers: FireBall!

Estrea: What! How?

Appearing suddenly, Yurie and the 8 remaining officers are able to just barely stop Estrea's attack.

Yurie: Gotcha!

Ryker: Hey, w-what's up.

Yurie: Looks like I finally get to return the favor. Last time you were the one catching me.

Ryker: H-how did yo-

Yurie: Let's worry about that after I finish this punk.

Ryker: Thanks Yurie, I owe you another one.
