“This is the last one.”
After a fierce firefight, Ivan terminated the last automaton lying on the ground. His armour was shattered. He was completely outnumbered, but his ambush was a success. Aside from being lucky, it was his engineering skill that saved him. The grenade launcher that he made for fun, utilized the most advanced material science available on the Ark. Although every round cost something to make, but it was proved to be worth it.
Ivan walked out of the engine room, seeing Natasha and the Prefect on the floor, he turned around and walked away.
“Ivan!”
The cry stopped Ivan, he turned back and saw Yui wearing a battle uniform. But before he could speak, Yui pulled the trigger and hit his shoulder. Ivan returned fire at instinct, and hit the wall beside Yui, the explosion threw her to the floor, and her submachine gun dropped aside.
“Yui, why? Arg…” Ivan could not believe Yui shot her, but the pain in his should quickly reminded him.
“D-don’t kill me…” Yui fearfully plead for her life sitting on the ground.
“Why did you do this!” Ivan roared, but it was disappointment, not anger.
“I did nothing wrong. Everything was done for the New World!” Yui hysterically cried. “Don’t even come close!”
Ivan looked at Yui with a thousand-yard stare and pointed the gun at her.
“No!”
Ivan pulled the trigger, and the blast destroyed the submachine gun on the floor. Yui was exhausted and collapsed. She was shaking and crying.
“Don’t let me ever see you again.”
After Ivan spoke to her for one last time, he left without turning back.
