Bang, Brave Bang Bravern

Bravern & Female Ex-S/O.

"BETRAYAL! The truth is revealed. "

Rated T for swearing.

“Arial….!” Bravern exclaimed, shutting off his communication as he realized Arial standing in the corner of his optics; he stood up from his chair, the force from his sudden jolt sending it crashing to the ground.

“You’re a part of this…?” Arial whispered, her voice breaking softly, “Your actual friends are responsible for destroying Tokyo and the other world capitals…?”

“Arial…” Bravern struggled with his words; Arial took another step back from him, and he sighed, rubbing his metallic hand across his face, “I knew the truth would come out eventually. So, yes…I am a part of the invasion of Earth.”

Arial felt her heart beating faster and faster in her chest; she had trusted Bravern.

She befriended him.

Agreed to be his pilot!

But…Everything was a lie from the beginning….

“Tell me, what the actual hell is going on?!” Arial demanded, her anger overpowering her gear.

“Fine…Fine…” Bravern grumbled, gesturing to his computer, “It’s a television show for everyone back home on my world….”

“I get it now,” Arial realized, “While your friends invade and kill innocent humans, you come along and play the damn hero…”

Bravern’s face twisted in pain as he listened to Arial’s words. He hated himself for deceiving her, for betraying the trust she had placed in him.

“Arial, it’s okay…After it’s all over, you’ll survive. I can keep you.” He coaxed. Arial grimaced at his words as they sent disgusting shivers down her spine.

“No…I’m not your pet!” Arial spat, her eyes filled with hatred and regret.

Arial’s words struck Bravern like a thunderbolt. He had never considered Arial a pet, but her accusation cut him deeply. He knew he had done wrong and was ashamed of his actions.

“Arial, I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I never meant to hurt you. I just wanted to protect you.”

Arial shook her head.

“You didn’t protect me,” she said. “You put me in danger. You used me. Like a prop...”

Bravern hung his head in shame. He knew that she was right. He had used her, and he had betrayed her trust.

“I’m sorry,” he said again. “I don’t know what else to say….Arial-”

Deep down, Bravern had developed caring feelings for Arial; he wanted to protect her from the dangers of the invasion by keeping her inside his chest cavity.

“Save it, Bravern,” Arial turns around, her back facing her now former friend, “Next time we meet…I will kill you…”

“Arial…!” Bravern reached out desperately, pleading with Arial to understand. But she was already walking away, her words hanging heavy in the air. The weight of his betrayal seeped into his core, fueling his own self-hatred.

He couldn’t blame Arial for her rage. He had deceived her, manipulated her emotions, and drawn her into a dangerous situation. All for the sake of a television show from his world. The reality of his actions hit him like a punch to the gut.

"Arial, I'm sorry...." he whispered, his voice turing into heavy sobs, knowing she would never forgive him.
