Serpico x Reader Part 3

Tears welled up in your eyes realizing Serpico was likely dead by now..

~~

The laws of reality seemed to shatter. People were dying everywhere from all sides. To further the confusion you looked up to see Father Mozgus in the air with...wings?

You had no words anymore. 
In his arms was the woman being worshipped from the cave. He planned to burn her at the stake as though that would somehow solve everything.

The people went along with it eagerly to your disgust.

The horrific blobs that were pouring in were suddenly shot but flames. You looked up to see it came from Father Mozgus.

..What the hell was happening? Was he always secretly like this?

"Just protect the people from the demons!" Azan shouted catching all yours and the others attention. He charged back into the crowd and it somehow kept you all sane. 

Fighting to distract yourselves from whatever was going on.

You felt completely lost. You hadn't felt any loyalty toward the holy chain knights since the arrival of this depressing place. You knew you couldn't escape either because you were bound by fear and blood. The only real way out was death..

Serpico was like some light in this dark world. Shimmering faintly yet importantly.
And now he was gone too..

Your eyes reddened as you fought to the death against these never ending monsters.

Azan noticed the flames which held back the gelatinous monsters dying out.

They soon came pouring over the mass crowd as screaming erupted. Their cries were quickly snuffed out leaving nothing but silence behind.

The people began flooding into the tower like it were their only hope. 

Glancing behind you realized the gelatinous monsters were closing in with an inescapable net. Azan ordered you all to keep fighting and head for the tower as it were the only escape.

All of a sudden the gate came down.

You all froze realizing you were trapped outside. You were all about to die.

You froze in your boots.

This was it.
You and the rest of the soldiers were going to die.

~~

Serpico was at the top of the tower fighting for the entirety of the night with the most unexpected company.

Not only had he and lady Farnese survived but given the life or death circumstances they allied with the black swordsman and a couple others to survive through the night. 

The sounds from the armies below had grown ever quiet..The more he tried not to think about it the more your image flashed through his mind. It chilled his bones with regret.. He hadn't felt this way since the passing of his mother.

Farnese noticed how unusual he behaved. Like he were distraught over something other than the nightmarish monsters?!

~~

As the group tiredly watched the peak of morning arrive the monstrosities seemed to fade with it.. 

All the people below had been swallowed by the hoards. It was so hauntingly quiet.. so many had died..

Serpico hardly looked at Farnese. Had he made the right decision in going with her? Could he have somehow gone back for you before this whole mess erupted? He started to go mad within.

Your death. It was on his hands..
The one thing he failed to do..

He glanced at the black swordsman as he removed and draped that Casca girl in his cape. He could see he loved her and only wished he could've done things like that for you.
But now you were gone.

Farnese couldn't stop looking at him. She had her suspicions of what was on his mind. She'd noticed Serpico saving you in that cave.. it struck her as strange but now she had started to think about it more and more.

As everyone regrouped and calmed down a pile of spears shot out landing around them all.

What now?!

Kushan?!

The group was pushed to fight even further despite pushing their limits all night long. Kushan soldiers lunged forward from all sides.

They rounded up the women with a rope when a new voice shouted out smashing the skull of the Kushan. He dropped the rope releasing the women as his body twitched hitting the ground.

Farnese looked over seeing Azan had made it out alive.

 
Serpico glanced over to see the faintest shadow lingering behind him..

His eyes widened as he saw you barely standing there on your feet. You were covered from head to toe in blood and were in an unrecognizable state.

You clenched your sword like it were now a part of you.

Your grim tired eyes slowly drifted toward the figure standing ahead. You thought it were an illusion and sadly looked away.

Azan smashed the skull of another soldier and Serpico's eyes widened when you suddenly spun around slicing your sword straight through a Kushan's skull.

She moved so quickly.. he was shocked to see you fight that way. Especially in your state.

Farnese noticed his mood immediately change just from seeing you alive.

He was a little frustrated how he couldn't go over and speak with you due to the never ending threats, however it bothered him a lot less now that he saw you made it.

The Kushan pushed you all into a circle when suddenly the ground erupted and a gigantic demon like monster emerged.

"Z-Zodd" you heard someone utter.

It had the black swordsman nervous.. that could only be bad news.

Zodd walked right past ignoring you all. It seemed to be focused on something more important. A bright light in the distance.

You all noticed something unusual as the blinding light revealed a man..

Everyone fell silent as an unearthly feeling settled in.
The bright man reached for the beast as though taming it.

You felt something grab your hand and looked over realizing Serpico had come to your side protectively.

...Wait he was real? Before you could react the beast roared attacking at the Kushan soldiers.

Fear ignited in the group as everyone quickly went in different directions. You had no time to think as you were yanked with Serpico as he decidedly kept his hold on you this time.
