Chapter 20 - Crash landing, A lone survivor

Not much excuses just been busy and sometimes i'm to tired to really get inspiration to write. 

_______________

Vincent looked at the controls and found how to pilot at least a bit of it. As the aircraft started to float. The engine roared and the deathwatch were unable to see it happening being trapped in an illusion still. Prelati smiled, as she helped Vincent figure out the controls. 

Koyanskaya had all types of rifles shooting at the flying Xeno. Who tried to target their ship, Artoria clenched her sword as she wasn't able to do much here. Prelati and Koyanskaya did the work, Artoria stood by his side. Offering protection to her king and lover. 

"Ryu..."

Vincent was controlling the ship smoothly now after a bit of rough handling. He looked at the destruction, he wasn't a savior. He would die like a bug if he stayed to be a hero. Even though he helped those kids and people to escape.

It was mostly because his parents life was on the line. Flying Xeno screeched some shot down, wings chipped and some fought each other thinking they were enemies. But both women were running out of mana. Vincent felt a drain as he grimanced.

In no time they were out of his world. In space and Vincent eyes marveled at the scene. It was shocking and Vincent grasped how little his world seem. Because he saw not far ships, hundreds of Xeno ships invading all around. Vincent face hardened, as the situation was not something so small.

'The end of my world....'

He couldn't believe it, his very world that he lived in and had fond and bad memories will be conquered.

"At least we're out of that dump."

Koyanskaya commented as Prelati huffed and went to Vincent. Hugging him from behind, as he was startled a bit.

"Dear~ Reward me~"

"Um...I'm kind of busy here Prelati."

She pouted as Artoria eyes locked on to them but put a hand on Prelati shoulder. 

"Don't bother him to much."

Prelati eyes narrowed seeing Artoria who would probably want to hog Vincent for herself.

"Nope."

Then all of a sudden before they would argue their bodies glowed. Soon they vanished in an instant, Vincent stopped feeling Prelati's hug and their sudden argument about to commence just go silent. He turned and they weren't there.

He felt this happen for the first time.

"W-Where did they go!?"

He didn't see them and it may have drawn conclusions.

'If they just left like that, then Mordred and Nightingale have left the same way....'

He connected the dots, as he wondered will this happen more frequently.

"Will more people be somehow appear by my side?"

As he murmured, suddenly he felt the ship shake. As he then felt a huge blast that rattled him as he tightly holds the handles. 

What he saw next made him dread a little. 

"Tch!"

He quickly maneuvered the ship as Xeno ships were shooting at him. He kept invading their blast as he saw another planet not far as he went to it. Quickly they saw him go away but kept on chasing. Some energy beams scratched the wings. As fire and smoke started to show, Vincent concentrated as he felt another huge blast.

"Shit!"

The control panel screamed warning noises as he had lost a wing. It was unstable, as he was now in an atmosphere of another planet. Vincent felt another blast as he was unable to control the ship. 

"COme on!"

He then pulled the handles up to force it to land. As he crashed onto the ground, screaming of metal breaking.

"Don't do me like this!...Argh!"

He crashed into a tree, as the ship stopped. He shook his head to regain his senses. He kicked the broken door open. As he saw five Xeno ships appear only that they were shot down.

Vincent looked around and saw different variant ships. As they were landing near him. Vincent didn't think of them as friendly's or any sort of people who come here to support him. 

'They must either be some other enemies or people affiliated with this ship.'

He was being smart as he quickly grabbed a rifle and his sword. It was heavy but not for him, he felt the weight natural in his hands. He hid behind a few trees and watched them come out of the ship.

"Search now and commence a rescue."

A man shouted orders showing his face as dozens of soldiers in blue armor searched the ship. Finding nothing and Vincent eyes widened.

"Not Astartes?"

In a low voice, he didn't want to be involved with them until he saw how they look. As he saw all of them wearing crimson armor with a helmet with two giant metal horns. Where their mouth is the helmet design had sharp teeth from ear to ear. Then he saw one fully black out with stripes of faded gold.

 They then surrounded someone with a more imposing design in their armor. As the black armored one looked around while listening to seeing where Vincent was hidden. 

Vincent grunted as he was found. He tried to remember on who they were. Guardsmen have mentioned how their was once a war probably still ongoing where legions under the emperor had become traitors. 

'Black something.....the other I can't remember.'

The black armored man pointed with his gun at Vincent direction as he shouted a command. SHooting at his direction, Vincent quickly fled as he was being hunted down.
