Torment of Love

Part 1

[So, hey guys, if your new to me Hi I am Mikhail, if not welcome back and yes my IzuOcha story is still going just editing the next chapter for a weekend release. Anyway, about this story, it is Set in Legend of Heroes Trials of Cold Steel 2 and has spoilers for the game, so if you don't want to be spoiled stop here. But it is a slightly different take on the whole story, adding my little bits of Fluff and hurt and comfort in there, new style of writing too so please tell me if you like or dislike it. It's a ReanxAlisa story, hopefully you like my takes on the characters. But the focus shifts through out Class seven. So, all our favorites have their moments of shine. Please Read and enjoy!]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

How did it end up like this, how did it end up the Ashen knight was defeated? Its pilot bleeding out with wounds not even hell could inflict. The rest of class seven had to watch on in horror, in utter shock, powerless to save their leader, their centre. Why did it all have to go so wrong?

December 25th, 1204. Courageous Bridge.

"Alright, so we are going in to arrest Duke Albarea. For the crimes against the Empire and the people of Celdic," Rean states standing in front of class seven. It was a good plan pincer attack from the north and south while class seven arrests the leadership forcing a surrender.

Jusis was blank as far as Rean could read, but at times he would see a fire burn behind his eyes. Instructor Sara was tired, a million miles away. "Alright Rean, you can use the new reinforced sword, should be able to cut through Soldats no problems," George would say as doors to the bridge would open to reveal a larger man dressed in a yellow jumpsuit, which almost looked poker dots with all the black smudge marks covering it.

"Alright, let's do this," Rean would say, wandering past his fellow classmates and into the lift. Rean would not notice the worry in the eyes of a certain blonde whose heart had started to grow heavy since the announcement of the operation and the intel from Rufus. She still hadn't told him what was in her heart and she wanted to. The tides of emotions were getting too much to bear.

Every time they would land, she would see a new hole in his armour, fresh wound whenever he returned. When she would go, he would defend her, cover her back, take the hit when she is to be hit. Even if it meant using his own body to take the hit. Her heart could not take it, she just wanted to protect him, from the world and himself at times.

Many of the others, had similar thoughts and worried about what he might do, what lengths he would go to. Emma knew all so well, the wounds the new scars just from this month of travel, the spear he took for her in the Terra temple. Straight through his shoulder before he killed the stone beast wielding it. She could sense his mind was in turmoil at war again but said nothing, a choice she would regret for months if not years in the future.

Class Seven, went their separate ways through the ship, Alisa grabbing her bow and extra healing supplies and arts. Elliot was in the hold playing on his violin his orbal staff resting to the side of him. It was a familiar place, especially before an operation. Rean was sharpening his blade, enjoying the sound even if he wasn't focusing since his mind was a warzone. Laura, Gaius and Jusis would join him. Sharpening their blades before Gaius went to meditate in the corner.

Laura was confused, she could sense Rean was not ok. But didn't ask why but tried to support him by being there with him, sharpening their blades, even though she could tell his sword was as sharp as it ever could get. A decision she would later regret. Fie, was the next to join them, sitting in front of Elliot as he played before closing her eyes and curling up like a cat, typical Fie whenever Elliot played. She had become protective over him since running away with Machias and him, a fact that had not escaped anyone in class seven.
