Chapter 38: A tough battle.

Cracks spread through the black veil, starting from the giant eye which had been penetrated by the blast from Zero Five's Proton Canon. A moment later it shattered, pieces falling one after the other revealing the stars above.

[We won…] 

Zero Three's quiet whisper reached the ears of the other two causing their lips to curve into smiles.

"WE WON!!!"

The young Valkyrie shouted, her excitement exuding as she threw her weapons into the air causing them to return to the form of a case. 

"That was a tough battle." Nine said, placing a hand on her bosom and letting out a relieved sight. 

"You two did well." Zero Five said. 

With the Calamity destroyed there was no need for her to stay in the heavy armor. Unable to bear the heat anymore she released herself, put on her standard equipment then moved away from the canon allowing it to cool down. 

"Any injuries?" The ponytailed Valkyrie asked.
