Chapter 17: Am I late?

"Welcome back" Renton said weakly.

"Renton…" the young woman said.

"It's good to see you again, Nirvash" Renton said smiling. The woman took off the sun glasses to reveal green-ish blue and pink eyes.

"Renton, Eureka …what happened?" Nirvash asked.

"I had to protect everyone…and to bring you back to our planet" Renton said slowly.

"Dad, sis, I'm so glad I'm able to see you two again…" Renton said as he looked to them. They couldn't say anything; the young boy that they had left behind was now laying there in front of them.

"Renton…What happened to you?" Diane asked as she got closer to Renton.

"A lot of things happened, but Eureka let me go through it all" Renton said slowly.

"I couldn't ask for someone else to fight our war, I had to win it myself; and I guess I did get rewarded" he said.

"Dad, thanks for telling me…I was able to believe in Eureka, Holland and the Gekko-Go crew…Everyone on this planet is important to me and…I want to protect it, both coralians and humans…" his voice was growing weaker.

"And guess what? You're a grandfather of four very pretty and handsome grandchildren" he said almost jokingly.

"And sis, you're their aunt; take good care of them" he said.

"Renton…" these were the first words Renton ever heard form his father.

"Thanks for taking care of Eureka along time ago…" Renton said.

"Norbu, Sakuya, I'm glad to see you can be together now" he said turning his head slowly.

"Sakuya can you heal Renton or do anything to save him please!" Eureka was thinking about ways to save him.

"Sorry Eureka, I used up everything when Norbu and I made the pororoca together" Sakuya said guiltily.

"The bus is almost leaving…" Renton broke the silence.

"Eureka…I know you have dinner set for Nirvash's return and…I'm really sorry I'm going to miss it…" Renton said has he raised his hand up to Eureka's face.

"I love you no matter what…" tears ran down Renton's face when he said this. The drugs just wore off and the pain surged through his body. Eureka held Renton close to her and just what he did for her; she tried to take the pain for him. She held him close and for a moment she could feel nothing, but she was wrong a huge an amount of pain surged through her and she knew Renton was feeling this too. Though this might not save him, this bought them some time. Adrock told Nirvash to got back into the portal to get some medical supplies Both Renton and Eureka were screaming but Eureka wanted to do this, Renton suffered enough by himself and Eureka made him suffer like this. The least she could do was this, just like he did for her before. Nirvash returned with pain killers and a few blood units, Mischa stopped them before they transplanted the blood.

"We shouldn't use this blood type" Mischa said.

"Why?" Adrock asked.

"Omega left behind his medical records of Renton and Eureka for me, I finally had time to go through them" she started.

"Renton's blood type changed, and we don't have a blood type in our medical existence that matches" she continued.

"Only one other person has that blood type and going by his medical records, Eureka has the type we need" Mischa said pointing at her.

"I'll-I'll do it, anything to save Renton!" Eureka said before she felt her own injuries.

"But we can't do that" Dr.Bear said coming up from behind.

"From the injuries Eureka got from the KLF attack, she barely has enough" he stated. Eureka looked at her shoulder where she was shot; there was a lot of blood that came out before and Renton bandaged her up. She took Renton's hand and turned around to everyone.

"Let's go back to the Gekko-Go; I think Omega left one last thing before he left" Mischa said.

"What?" Everyone asked.

"Omega left a small note saying if anything happens if any trouble occur, we might find it useful" she said.

"But we won't make it in time" Holland said.

"Yeah… The trappar here is completely gone and all the KLFs and LFOs are completely drained of their energies" Hap said looking at his trappar meter.

"No! Nirvash, theEND… Someone please help Renton!" Eureka yelled. Kicker heard this and woke up, he tried to get up but it used up everything taking out every LFO and KLF in the area. It didn't give up and either did Eureka, she ran to Kicker's hand and asked it to let her ride him. He agreed and raised them to his cockpit area; he extended his arm to Holland and Mischa too. They got on and Kicker grabbed its ref board, it didn't even try to ride the waves; it just wanted to get to an area with more trappar so it can fly there. But the damage to both the archetype and the armor was great; it fell before it could take its 6th step. Eureka begs him to try and move and everyone heard this, they all gathered around the fallen LFO and placed their hands on it.

"Eureka, we've been through all this as the Gekko State!" they yelled.

"Now, let's save Renton as Gekko-State" they said together. Holland turned to the KLF pilots that were following them.

"Stop us if you want, but know this; everything you've been fighting for was for them to take your families away. Beyond that portal is some of your families, the people taken away during the second summer of love" Holland yelled.

"Please everyone, just save Renton" Eureka yelled. Everyone walked to Kicker and placed their hands on him. Eureka, Holland and Mischa placed their hands on the compact drive that Omega left for them.

"Yeah! Everyone! Let's go! Let's save Renton!" they all yelled. The compact glowed and Kicker raised his head to the sky and opened his trappar cannon. Then a huge pink pillar appeared, as it hit the sky it scattered and Kicker reached for its ref board and flew. Its speed was quick everyone on the ground watched as Kicker roared to the Gekko-Go, Renton's last hope. The KLF pilots and everyone else began walking to the Super Izumo where the ship could take off, even though it was a ship designed for high speed and fighting; Kicker's speed kicked its butt. They headed for the Gekko-Go too.

"Renton, please hold on; I promise I won't leave you again" she said.

"I promise I won't run off on my own" she said desperately.

"If…you run away…I'll follow you…" Renton said weakly. Eureka knew this was the only way to keep him alive.

"Eureka, we're almost at the Gekko-Go!" Holland yelled.

"You saved me so many times before, now it's my turn Renton" Eureka said.

"I won't let you die!" Eureka yelled again. Kicker landed into the hanger and let them off, quickly Holland carried Renton to the infirmary and Mischa grabbed the box in the corner. It was the final thing Omega left behind, they opened the box and there was a small note and a large package. It was the thing they needed, the blood type Renton and Eureka had; the only one in the world. They quickly transfused it to Renton and his vital signs began to stabilize; Holland, Eureka and Mischa read the letter he left.

Renton and Eureka's new blood type doesn't exist in medical history, but when I took samples I knew I had to make some. From the blood sample I got from Renton, I was able to make a small amount, but if he's still alive and needs it; this should be more then enough. Under the sample I left is how and what I used to make it, but soon enough if humans and coralians unite then I guess this blood type will appear. This is the last project I'll be working on, maybe even the last in my life time. I hope that you use this wisely.

Yours truly, Omega Ken.

"Omega…Thank you…" Eureka said. She then realized that Kicker forced a lot from himself to bring them here. She ran to the hanger and found the LFO had dropped on the ground; she walked up to it and placed her hand on it. The child was alive and sleeping; she pulled the power cord from the Gekko-Go's recharger and placed it on Kicker. She then realized that WaveRider was missing. She wanted to ask but the child was sleeping so soundly. But before she left he woke up just for a bit to tell her.

"Eureka… if you were wondering what happened to WaveRider…He went down taking out that evil cannon they built" Kicker said.

"WaveRider… I'm sorry… if I hadn't-" she was cut off.

"No Eureka, WaveRider doesn't blame you for that. He finally found the thing it needed to destroy and he went down fulfilling what he needed to do" Kicker said.

"He said he'll be in the waves that you and Renton love" he said before his eyes turned dark and he fell asleep again.

"Thank you too, Kicker…" she said as she kissed his archetype.

"You fulfilled what you wanted to do too" she said as she left to see Renton. When she arrived Renton was still out cold but the machines and Mischa said he's alright. She stayed beside him talking to him about her memories with him.

"Hey…Renton… I wanted you to know, I didn't want you to die. I saw a vision and in it I saw the fragments, the wall and you dying in my arms" she said.

"I was so scared when I saw the fragment I didn't think that if I'm with you, you could do anything" she said holding his hand. She once again looked at the ring on his finger and the one on her's. She reached for the hair pin to make sure it was still there, and it was. She took off the ring and looked inside to the engraved words: E to R. She took off Renton's ring and looked inside and in it is said: R to E. She put the two halves together and looked at it; when it was whole it was so beautiful and it showed her that Renton wanted her to know something too. No matter what, when he's with her they shine much brighter. For a moment she remembered, she had at one point hated the world and Reina; she remembered seeing what Renton saw. She saw Reina try to take Renton away from her and she saw how the world was going to let him die like that. She realized one other thing, the world is so beautiful to her because Renton was there to guide her through the pain, he covered up her past with a pleasant one and opened her heart to great friends; he gave her a future and she wouldn't give up on that. She felt that every minute and every second she spent with him was precious and she wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Eureka needed Renton to be herself, she knew that along time ago but until Omega mentioned it to them she never really placed thought into it. The super Izumo caught up to them finally, Nirvash and the other five people that came from the portal followed.

"Eureka…How's Renton" Nirvash asked.

"Nirvash… Renton said he'll fulfill my wish…And I love him for that" Eureka said. Dominic and Anemone by now had entered the room.

"Eureka… is there anything we can do?" they asked.

"No… Renton's going to be alright; Omega saved us" she said.

"Omega? How?" Dominic asked.

"He's like a guardian angel to us, he left something that saved his life" Eureka said.

"I found some data on Omega, Eureka…" Dominic said handing Eureka a folder.

"This was about Omega, some of the data was written by Omega himself" he added.

"I know… One of Omega's projects killed two of his best friends and he failed to protect another" Eureka started.

"Omega didn't want that pain anymore so he did all this for us" she said.

"It was his only escape from the pain of losing one friend after another" she added.

"By the way, who are you?" Dominic asked the man next to Nirvash.

"Dominic, Anemone, don't you remember me?" he said.

"No…" Dominic said. Anemone looked into the eyes of the man and she looked shocked.

"You're theEND aren't you" Anemone finally said. The man nodded.

"Wait, that's impossible" Dominic sounded angry.

"TheEND was destroyed protecting us" Dominic said angrily.

"Nirvash saved me, but some how we get these bodies and we waited for the seven fragments to be collected again" he said.

"Nirvash knew when they are collected and activated than a portal would appear before us" theEND said.

"And well it did, at first we thought it was going to be great. But when we saw Renton like that we were shocked" he said.

"But it's good to see you two again" theEND said cheerfully.

"It's nice to meet you theEND…" Eureka said walking up to him.

"Thanks for helping Anemone" theEND said.

"No, we will help anyone who needs it" Eureka said. Maurice by now entered the room with Mitsuki in his arms, Maeter and Linck followed.

"Whose baby is it?" Nirvash asked.

"It's the future of this planet" she said.

"She's mine and Renton's future, she's our daughter" Eureka said smiling and taking the baby in her arms. When they all surrounded Renton, Mitsuki slowly opened her eyes to them. They were greenish-pink with a thin ring around it.

"She has both your eyes" Anemone said.

"She'll show the world that humans and coralians can be one" Nirvash added.

"Yeah…" Eureka sounded proud of her's and Renton's creation. Renton was out for 2 weeks Dominic and Anemone stayed on the Gekko-Go as they headed for the capital. Due to the large amounts of injured soldiers and the damages to the Gekko-Go they had to take it slow to get to the capital. They estimated that they needed 3 weeks before they reached the capital. After Renton regained his consciousness he could move around the ship as long as he didn't try to move around a lot. He took the time to catch up with Adrock. Eureka followed to see him too for the first time ever, Renton had all the time in the world to talk to his father who he thought abandoned him when he was just an infant. He found Adrock in the hanger helping with the injured FAC soldiers, Renton told Eureka to stay back because he wasn't sure if they would attack or not. Eureka persisted and they walked into the hanger together, at first the soldiers when they saw her they glared and looked away. But Renton held her hand and she felt like they didn't matter anymore. Renton finally got to Adrock.

"Dad…" Renton said. What could he say? He couldn't relate to him in anyway, he never knew his father so he didn't know what he was like.

"Renton…Uh… Look I don't know what to say to you" Adrock said scratching is head.

"For one you could tell me how you got into the Command cluster" Renton was showing a little anger.

"Uh…I remember when I pulled the Amita drive out of the socket I entered a weird tunnel and the next thing I know was that I was in a library" Adrock said recalling his memory.

"Dad…I…" Renton couldn't find the words.

"I always told Omega you were going to be a good kid" Adrock said.

"I'm aware he was here, but I haven't seen him this entire time" Adrock added.

"Omega… Isn't with us anymore" Renton said slowly.

"Do you know where he is?" Adrock asked.

"When Renton said Omega isn't with us…he means Omega died" Eureka said for him.

"What? Omega died? How?" Adrock couldn't believe one of his friends died.

"He was trying to help us… but he…" Renton said sadly.

"I see… I guess I should pay a little visit to Stella and Akira" Adrock said looking disappointed.

"That's the thing, Omega said they died too" Renton added.

"A lot has changed since I was gone hasn't it" Adrock said disappointingly.

"Dad… Let's have a big burger dinner when we get back" Renton said. Renton had wings now, but it didn't seem to matter. The Gekko-Go returned to the capital, Renton and his whole family returned to Bellforest; Axel could now work both Adrock and Renton to the bone. The Thurston family returned to Bellforest and everyone knew of their heroic efforts to protect the planet. With the FAC's leaders gone the FAC broke up and disappeared, many of them joined up with the UF military. Many of them realized who they were helping and what their mistakes were; with the other half of the planet connected once again many families were reunited. With the example of Renton and Eureka, the Scab coral changed the appearance of the coralians and set them on the planet. The new human formed coralians remembered who they were and what they are, but the difference between them and the humans were that they had coralian tissue somewhere on their bodies. With this everyone finally accepted coralians into their lives.

Ten years later

"Hey sis! Come surfing with me!" a young boy yelled.

"Watch out for large waves" yelled a woman's voice.

"I'm coming, hold your horses" a young girl's voice said.

"Hey wait for me!" said the little voice. A little boy and a little girl were surfing while two adults watched over them.

"You think this will last?" asked a male voice.

"If it's you and me… we can that all over again, Renton" a female voice said.

"We can bear through it together, Eureka" said the male voice.

The End
