Cid - Atomic Recovery

“Queen Elisabeth!!”

She frantically stretches out her hand.

But…the blood feelers knock her away.

“I AM…”

Shadow’s heartless voice sounds out.

“Queen Elisabeth!!” Mary screams.

For a second, Elisabeth looks her way.

Her red eyes gaze gently at her.

“…ATOMIC. RECOVERY.”

The red claws and the black sword collide, and the world disappears into the bluish-purple light.

“Uhh…”

She must have passed out.

When Beta opens her eyes, she’s greeted by the Red Moon’s light shining down on a quiet night.

Everyone else is unconscious. She must have been the first one to wake up.

Her master is nowhere to be seen.

He’s probably already on his way to his next battle. How busy he is…and how kind.

“Thank you, Master Shadow…”

She vows never to forget the image of him putting his life on the line to protect her and the others.

When she suddenly notices that all her wounds are healed, a silent smile creeps across her face.

She looks and sees that Number 664’s wounds are healed, too, as are Number 665’s and Number 666’s.

Naturally, there isn’t a scratch on Mary or her master’s sister, either.

“Nothing gets by Master Shadow. It seems like Eta’s theory was right…”

“Wait, Shadow did all this…?”

“The man protected everyone all on his own…”

The Crimson Tower’s been annihilated. They all look up at the sky. As though trying to burn his existence into their very eyes…
