Chapter 9 - My Hero (part 3)

The Boss, tries to say something to Henry, shocked by the fact that only damaged robotic sounds come from his mouth.

Henry smiles, seeing the Boss damaged after all the pain he caused.

Henry: "Not so talkative anymore, I see"

He says to an angry Boss.

The Boss shouts in a robotic voice, rushing at Henry with his fist up in front.

Henry dodges the attack, swinging a punch of his own at the Boss.

The Boss goes to the ground after being hit by Henry.

He quickly stands up, attacking Henry with his bubble-slash attack.

Henry crosses his arms in front of him, enduring the pain, leaving a big cut on both of his arms.

The Boss, frustrated by the fact that Henrys arms where not cutted of completely from him and being unbothered by his efforts.

He then rushes at him desperately trying to land a punch, but Henry dodges his attacks again, punching him, and hitting him again, and again and many more times, leaving a completely dented endoskeleton.

The Boss then stands infront of Henry, using his last energy, charge up another beam, shooting it at Henry while he charges at him.

Henry dodges the beam, not seeing the Boss's fist that is about to hit him, when suddenly, Henry's whole body starts to be wrapped around in the shiny blue energy, leading to him being instantly transported behind the Boss, leaving a blue trail from where he was before to where he is now.

Henry had no idea what happened, but he instinctively knew that now is the chance to finish him off, punching the Boss down to the ground with his in blue energy wrapped fist, cracking up the whole street area around them.

Henry looks down to the ground, staring at the still alive Boss who's laughing in a robotic tone.

The Boss raises his upper body up from the ground, now sitting in front of Henry.

He then puts his finger in his endoskeleton throat, piercing through it and activating his voice again.

The Boss: "Truly wonderful, this feeling of hopelessness, truly wonderful"

He says to Henry, with a robotic voice.

Henry: "You want more?"

He replies to the Boss.

The Boss: "No no, I truly lost to you, I had no chance even with my upgrades and with

my bubble Awakening.

He replies to Henry, with his robotic voice.

The Boss: "I truly want to know something, why did my attack not cut trough you."

He asks, pointing out his bubble slash that should have cut of Henry's arms.

Henry: "I don't know, my endurance his pretty high I guess"

The Boss looks at Henry, trying to make up an answer for his own question.

The Boss: "I know the answer, I know it, it is truly wonderful, it truly is wonderful the answer"

He replies, standing on his feet and jumping up and down,

Henry: "What? What is it, tell me old man"

He asks, filled with curiosity,

The Boss: "The answer is easy when you think about it, it is because you a-…"

He says, before getting interrupted by a fog blade, piercing him from behind through his chest, destroying his core.

Henry is shocked by the sudden turn of events, watching the lights in the Boss eyes disappear and his lifeless, dented and damaged half body half endoskeleton, fall to the ground, revealing the wounded Emilia who had pierced him from behind.

Emilia: "I-I killed him"

She says, starring shocked at the Boss's corpse,

Henry: "Big sis, what have u done…"

He replies, also shocked by this sudden outcome.

Emilia: "I-I…"

She replies, before dropping to the ground, loosing consciousness from her wounds.

???: "Emilia"

A voice in the distance calls,

???: "Emilia"

It calls again.

Emilia opens her eyes, laying on the ground in an infinitely large foggy space.

Emilia: "Where…am i?"

She asks herself while getting up.

???: "Emilia"

The voice calls again from the distance,

Emilia: "Who is it? Who are you?"

She calls back into the distance.

???: "Emilia"

The voice calls again, coming closer, but Emilia can't see trough the thick fog.

Then, a shiluette she knows very well walks her, revealing himself.

???: "Emilia"

The voice says directly to her.

Emilia quickly takes some steps back, going into a defensive position,

Emilia: "Y-you"

She says to the person.

It is the Boss in his human form, smiling at her.

The Boss: "I know that you are scared, but don't be, after-all I lost to your brother and you killed me."

He replies to her,

Emilia: "Then what do you want old man. Hunting me in my dreams from now on?"

She asks,

The Boss: "Can't an old man say goodbye to his lovely niece?"

He says sarcastically,

Emilia: "Fuck off with your crap, we both know you never saw me as something as a niece"

The Boss: "But I did, I loved you like my own, that's why it broke my heart when I had to use violence against you.

Emilia: "You? Love? You don't know what that even is"

The Boss: "I know exactly what I am talking about, I took you in remember?"

Emilia: "Yeah and making a 15-year-old work in organize crimes"

The Boss: "I did that to strengthen you, and it worked"

Emilia: "Quit your crap old man, I don't have time for this, what is it truly what you want"

The Boss looks at her with a sad expression,

Emilia: "Whoa, I never seen you being sad old man, it breaks your heart that you have to go?"

The Boss: "I wasn't lying when I said I want to say goodbye"

Emilia: "Wait, what, where are we even, you are dead, does it mean im dead too?"

Emilia asks in fear,

The Boss: "No you are not dead, not yet, depends on the doctors, but I wanted to thank you, for releasing me from my corrupted self.

Now that Im dead I see that I truly was not human, one would never give up his humanity for some pity reasons like I did"

Emilia: "Whoa old man, that is really deep, I never knew you could be like that"

The Boss laughs, waving to her while going back into the fog,

The Boss: "You where truly my masterpiece Emilia, make me proud"

He says, disappearing into the fog,

Emilia: "Fuck you old man, rot in hell"

She replies, raising her middle finger to the direction he left.

???: "Emilia"

Another voice calls, this time from up

Emilia: "I know that stupid voice"

She says to herself,

???: "Emilia"

It calls again,

Emilia: "Henry?"

She shouts, before waking up in a hospital bed.
