《Crisis Zero》Ch. 19 The Pharaoh and The Conqueror
Advertisement
"Caeser, who would have thought we'd see this day."
Cold, hard steel penetrated through Cleopatra's stomach, she could feel her blood pouring down all over the sand below as she gripped onto Caeser's wrists tightly.
- 2 Years Ago-
"My Pharaoh, the Roman Empire have arrived."
A glorious, mightly army of soldiers who had spent countless nights marching across the deserts of Egypt had finally arrived at their destination. Amongst them was a man clad in beautiful crimson red armour with a golden chest plate shaped like a lion's head. This man stepped forward towards Cleopatra only to be stopped by two burly spearmen who raised their weapon towards the man's neck.
"One more move, and..."
Before the spearmen could finish, a swift strike so fast it was barely visible to Cleopatra, sliced through the air between the men, beheading the poor spearman as his body crashed towards the pavement. The man's eyes were cold, devoid of emotions, this instilled fear in the other spearman who's body began trembling, loosening the grip on his weapon.
"Lower your weapon!"
Cleopatra ordered, getting off her throne, advancing towards the man who had murdered her own in cold blood.
"What is your purpose here, Julius Caeser?"
Dropping down to one knee, the man sheathes his blade, bowing in respect to the mighty Pharaoh of Egypt.
"An alliance, against the evil that purges our land. I am sure you are aware of the power imbalance caused by these monsters. My belief is that the ancient Titans are being released from the bowels of the Underworld. However powerful the Roman Empire is, we alone cannot push back these forces of evil."
"An alliance? These Titans you claim to be so powerful have yet to enter Egyptian Territories. However, for a man as powerful as you to travel across the desert just to meet me and discuss an alliance for the sake of your people. You have my respect, Roman Emperor."

With that, an alliance between the Egyptian Empire and Roman Empire was forged as the Titans advanced towards the Eygptian Lands, destroying all they come across. Soon, even the mighty alliance was pushed back into a corner.
- Present Time -
"Something's changed, you aren't the Caeser I know."
Without holding back, Cleopatra swung her body sideways, causing the blade to cleanly slice through her side as she endured the excruciating pain. Raising arm towards Caeser, a myriad of flames formed over her body as the flames conjugated around her lifted arm. It began to form a shape of a bow as Cleopatra grabbed the flaming bowstring, pulling it back with all the strength she had left.
"Sahm Aleanqa'!"
Releasing the bowstring, a giant burst of flames engulfed Caeser, rising into the skies above. Screaming in agonizing pain, Caeser clung onto whatever life he had left as he fell onto his knees. Suddenly, a giant flaming Phoenix appeared from the sky above, it dove against the path of the flames, slamming itself against Caeser, devouring him in its eternal flames before vanishing, leaving a lifeless body clad in armor behind.
"Cae...CAESER!"
Cleopatra rushed to his side, resting his body onto her lap as her tears poured down onto Caeser's face.
"Cleo?"
Weakly, Caeser removed his left armored glove, resting his left hand onto Cleo's hand. The gold ring he had around his finger glistened brightly under the Eygptian sun as her husband's last breath escaped his body.
"Caeser...My husband..."
A red jewel within the mouth of the lion head chest plate cracked and released a tremendous amount of dark energy into the sky.
"Someone was controlling you this whole time...I knew it...my Caeser who loved the land, the people and me...would never..."

"Excuse my rudeness, your majesty."
A knight approached Cleopatra leaving a trail of dead Titans behind him.
"Who...dares approach me!"
In a fit of rage, Cleopatra raised her bow towards the knight. However, before she could release another shot, the knight swiftly pinned her down, placing his other hand over the Pharaoh's wounds. She could feel a sense of warmth enveloping her wounds as the knight performed healing magic to seal the damage she sustained.
"I am not the enemy, mighty Pharaoh of Egypt. I have come to seek aid against those who did this to your Husband."
Taken aback, Cleopatra calmed herself down as the knightly slowly released his grip on her.
"Who did this, you know?"
"An evil, the devil himself. William Van Astrea. He was mind-controlling your husband, causing him to turn against his own brethren, his own wife."
"Bring me to him...He will pay with his life! I swear on the god Ra who has granted me this power, I will eradicate this evil from the world. Tell me your name, Knight."
Opening a portal, the knight smirked looking away from the Pharaoh.
"Siegfred. Now follow me, I shall bring you to meet the rest."
