[color=00ced1][h3][b][u]CIEL, [i]The Stargazer[/i] [/u] [sup][i]KC-00032: The Angel's Fortress[/i][/sup][/b][/h3][/color] [color=00ced1]"That feels quite overdone, I think,"[/color] [url=http://i.imgur.com/gtiEpcd.jpg][b]Ciel[/b][/url] said to no one in particular as she looked over the ramparts of the Heaven's fortress. The nature of such an exaggerated fort, built within sight range of the even more exaggerated industrial complex belonging to the Machina was typical of the Nexus, indeed. Ciel was far too used to seeing these things come and go, [color=00ced1]"Though, the stars seem to have shifted these days. I wonder what that means?"[/color] [color=00ced1]"Well, it's no use overthinking things. I'm sure that everything will be revealed once the time is ripe,"[/color] the Stargazer sighed a weary sigh. Sure that's just how everything always was, isn't it? For now she could at least enjoy her time in a rare chance to join a battle. [color=00ced1]"Come on, I'm sure you are eager to spread your wings as well, right, Aquila!"[/color] Ciel exclaimed as she traced the moved her hand through the air, leaving a glowing path of light that took the shape of the constellation which she called forth. One moment later, the battlefield would be swept by a violent wind as Aquila emerged from the portal created by her master, summoning forth the power of the Goddess she was contracted with to blow away Machina and Demons alike. [color=de3163][h3][b][u]EOS, [i]The High Queen[/i] [/u] [sup][i]KC-00032: The Control Room[/i][/sup][/b][/h3][/color] None but the High Queen of the Machina herself observed the battle unroll from within KC-00032's control room, which looked very much like the concert hall that she left behind in Hyperion, surrounded by a pool of liquid metal. This time Eos was going to face the dangers of the frontline by herself. That was the only way she could be sure that her Machina would be inspired enough to fight to their best. Eos observed as the chaos of war broke before her eyes. Angels, Demons, and Machina, all of them fighting for the final destruction or the defense of the resources poached from under the fangs of the great Leviathan of Ruthria. [color=de3163]"It's about time join it as well,"[/color] the High Queen said as her eyes flashed, taking a brilliant silvery hue. A moment later the metal sprung to life, coating Eos in a majestic looking armor as the High Queen took on her newest [url=http://i.imgur.com/NyqD6qF.jpg][b]battle form[/b][/url]. [color=de3163]"All troops loyal to the Machina, this is your High Queen speaking,"[/color] Eos said, her voice reaching all of the battlefield through KC-00032's sound system loud and clear enough to cut through even the storm summoned by the Angels. [color=de3163]"I'll be fighting by your side this time. KC-00032 cannot be allowed to fall under our foes' control. Destroy any who opposes us, that's my decree! Beginning by you..."[/color] Eos said as shoot a beam of light toward the sky, a moment later a veritable rain of lasers fell over KC-00032, bombarding the possessed Machina who dared fight against their Queen's commands.
