Chapter 26: Axle

Rosé walked in and looked around. She thought about freeing Axle when next she saw him... Well it was either that or kick the crap out of him for lying to her. She suspected it was him but the fact that he lied to her face truly made her angry.

She was quickly pulled out of her thoughts when a lean armored user approached her.

"So you're the newbie that Lancelot sent here? Just because you got his approval doesn't mean I should be impressed." The user told her.

"Excuse me... who are you?" Rosé asked the armored user before said user answered, "I'm Percival. But you can call me your superior."

"So do I call you sir or ma'am?" Rosé mockingly asked before Percival looked down on her and said, "My gender doesn't matter to you, all that matters is that I'm gonna be the one training you since we only have a week before going after Black Cyber."

"A week? Isn't that a little soon?"

"We needed Lancelot to go get his armor and a lot of weapons and supplies."

"Look for me outside in four hours... training begins then."

She wasn't gonna lie. Percival intimidated her a lot. Skipping out on training would have been a stupid move.

"Damn, new girl's gonna get it." "Holy shit, commander Percival really scares the crap out of me." "Hope she survives." The others murmured.

She heard the murmurs and the fear she had for Percival only intensified. The murmurs however ended when people gathered by the door and formed two lines at both sides of the door. It opened and it revealed someone in blue and grey armor. This user had the handle, $irGawain.

The next to enter was King Arthur and the last one was someone who she recognised. It was Lancelot... except that he was different. When Kobald had the armour it glowed crimson, but now since Axle was using it the armour glowed in a colour of cobalt blue.

"The knights have gathered." One of the subordinates whispered. "Yeah but where's sir Galahad?" Another whispered.

Rosé felt ridiculous because of these people. A group based on the Knights of the Round Table. This screamed nerd but she was too deep in this to point that out. She needs help taking on Bernstein, since he's the guy who hacked the system, so she had to tolerate this.

She waited for a while before catching Lancelot on his own. She got him to go outside with her before he was told to take the armor off, which he did with no hesitation.

After he was out of his armor, Rosé slapped him hard across the face. "That was for lying to me!" She slapped him again, "That was for leaving me alone for five months and trying to push me back!" She hugged him this time. "This is for staying alive."

"What's going on?" Lancelot asked since he was confused. "I know it's you Axle. I know because I know the handle on your primary account."

"How?" "Rebecca told me after your little match with Kobald. Look I get that you wanted me safe but remember that I can take care of myself."

"In the real world maybe. But here in CyberSpace, you need training or you're dead. That's why you're training with Percival. Look, you're not a CyberHuman in here... just a plain old consciousness living in CyberSpace. Why'd you log in here in the first place?"

"To get you out."

"And you have one key. Look, save it for Black Cyber because we believe his Cyberband is keeping everyone locked here."

"Fine." She said before Lancelot hugged her. "Rest for a few hours, training with Percival will be intense and you need to be at full strength." "Okay, I'll be back."

"I'll see you later, Carly."
