Chapter 30: A New Wave of Beginning

MOMO slowly opens her eyes and sees nothing but blurs. Everything around her seemed like a kaleidoscope, shapes were dancing in her vision and colors were blending together. Her sight repairing mechanism suddenly kicked in. Soon, everything around her became clearer and clearer as time went by until the nanobots completed their task. She was lying down on the ground a couple of feet away from Jr. However, Albedo was not anywhere in sight.

She slowly gets up and goes over to Jr. who was unconscious from the explosion. She analyzes him and was relieved that he hadn't died from the explosion. She starts shaking him slowly to wake him up. "Jr.! Are you alright?"

After awhile, he slowly starts coming to and looks up right at her. A bright light is shone from behind making MOMO seem like a divine figure. "What a beautiful angel…" He moves his hand across MOMO's cheek causing her to blush. She wanted to move back but was too entranced by Jr.'s actions. "I really am in Heaven, aren't I…?" He smiles peacefully. "Such a lovely place…"

"Um, Jr…" MOMO began, interrupting his divine reverie. "You're not dead yet."

It took awhile until it clicked for the red-headed URTV. "WHAT?!?!" He shoots up and then turns away from MOMO, his face completely crimsoned with embarrassment. His heart was racing faster than when he was anxious and gung-ho for battle. He slowly starts to look around, as if something were missing, trying to not think about what had just happened. "Sorry about that MOMO…" He then takes another look at what's missing. "Wait…where's Albedo?"

MOMO shakes her head. "I don't know…I woke up a little before you did." She looks towards the door. "Do you think he escaped?"

Jr. holds his hands and looks at them mournfully. Flashbacks from the U-DO distortion return to Jr.'s mind: the mirrored hallway, Sakura's appearance, and Albedo's transformation. "Did I…kill him again?"

He suddenly darts up from something as if he was shocked by a million volts. He looks around frantically. "Who was that? Albedo?"

"Who was what? I don't see him around…" MOMO looks at her scanners several times but doesn't find out anything. "He isn't showing up on my scanners."

"Wait, say what?"

"What are you saying?" MOMO asks.

"Hang on, I think Albedo's inside of me…" Jr. says, holding his head. "How the hell did you…?!" Jr. starts pacing back and forth and starts shaking his head occasionally as one does in a conversation. "Uh huh…oh…MO…hey!"

"What's he saying?" MOMO asks.

Jr. looks at her and for a second, MOMO catches a flash of white in his eyes. "Uhh, nothing you need to be worried about!" He quickly averts his attention to something else and notices a door starting to form. "Hey, look! A door's appearing!" He quickly runs to it as the Zohar-shaped door emerges.

MOMO quickly follows. "Wait up, Jr.!"

The light envelops the two of them as they enter.

-------

Slow, metallic steps echo through the room as they approach. chaos suddenly feels a tremendous presence approaching the room and it causes him to stop struggling against Wilhelm's power.

"Ah, she's here," Wilhelm looks at chaos who was entranced by the steps. He was slightly amused that such a divine being such as Yeshua could be so infatuated with a mechanical creation. "Are you scared, Yeshua? Or are you relieved that you will be to see your heart's desires again…?"

chaos tries again to move but fails. He closes his eyes in defeat. (Forgive me, Father…for I have failed…)

The blue-haired android walks into the room with two children in hand. Her familiar crimson eyes were replaced with sapphire ones, like a calm ocean. She seemed to be unaffected by Wilhelm's attack as did the children.

Wilhelm smiles passively as he welcomed his guest. "Welcome, Maria. How long has it been…?"

She pats both Abel and Nephilim on the head and urges them to help the others. She walks towards Wilhelm. "Stop this madness. What you're doing is completely intolerable."

Wilhelm shows no expression of surprise but closes his eyes. "Don't tell me that you too have been swept away by the useless notions of continuing on, have you?"

"It isn't useless." She turns her head to look at everyone who stood up looking at her. Abel and Nephilim's power had canceled out Wilhelm's power. They were finishing up with chaos and Heinlein. "Don't you see? The only way for a better future is to move towards it…not destroy the road and create another one. There will never be an easy path to reach the end, no matter what the circumstances are. We must learn to push forward no matter how hopeless it may seem."

Wilhelm dissipates his attack knowing that Abel and Nephilim would just cancel it out later even if he did use it. He had one opportunity to make his plan work; he wasn't going to miss his chance. "It's all useless conjecture. Only a select few will actually be able to reach the end because there are those who give up when all seems lost. It seems so cruel to let those who have given up nothing."

"That may be true…but they have lost faith in themselves. Those who do not believe cannot hope to see the finish…like you, Wilhelm. You have lost all faith in humans because of their altering nature between good and evil, isn't that right?"

"You could say that."

chaos takes a step forward in front of Maria. "Now is not the time for talk. We have to finish this now, before he tries to follow through with his plan." He turns to Heinlein.

Heinlein holds his hand up. "I already know what you want me to do. I don't care as long as that bastard goes down. I could care less of the fate of the universe." He flaps his one wing and flies towards Wilhelm with incredible speed.

"What can we do?" Jin asks as Heinlein collides with Wilhelm's barrier.

"The Gnosis…" Nephilim says. "They are coming."

"They're starting to feel the resonance of the divines," Abel looks up at the ceiling. "Soon, they will come to appease their fears by immersing themselves in that power."

"So…you're saying that Wilhelm, chaos, and that other person will be absorbed by the Gnosis?" Shion wonders.

"No…Wilhelm, chaos, and Heinlein will absorb the Gnosis…" Nephilim states. "But by doing this, it will create a paradox which will suck in everything around them, including us."

"Then we've got to stop them before that happens!" Shion materializes her M.W.S.

"No. There is nothing you can do."

Shion looks confused.

"The dawn of a new era or the twilight of this era is what is being fought for." Nephilim looks at the battle enraging between Wilhelm, Heinlein, and chaos. Flashing lights zoom left and right and destroy the walls of the room. KOS-MOS activates her Tertiary Weapons System and starts charging it. "If Zarathustra is opened, it will destroy the foundations of this omniverse causing it to be a blank slate."

"Then everything would end?" Jin asks.

"No…everything will begin again. It's similar to stopping a fire and then starting it up again." Nephilim says. "That is what this universe is like, a fire. It is burning until it will eventually burn out. Zarathustra is like the water to cool the fire. And Wilhelm is the one who will start the fire again by using new materials to create another one."

"What about chaos and Heinlein?"

"I do not know. They will most likely oppose Wilhelm's actions but can do nothing about it because of Wilhelm's position as 'god.'"

"Position?"

"In the realm of a higher plane, there is no such thing as good and evil…only creator and destroyer, the Sovereigns. And then there are the Seraphim, the rest of Heaven's people or as you call them angels…candidates for the role as Sovereign." Nephilim continues. "According to the Decree, the highest rank, Grand Sovereign has the power to do anything that he or she wants with the realms of the lower planes, namely this universe. That Grand Sovereign is Wilhelm." Nephilim closes her eyes. "chaos is also a Sovereign. He is the Destroyer."

"What about Heinlein?"

Nephilim watches him being repelled by Wilhelm's barrier. He flies upward to dodge Wilhelm's barrage of light beams. "Heinlein is actually Wilhelm's clone. You see, he is an experiment devised by the Seraphim so that they could use Wilhelm's power to create. They succeeded and were able to create a new world for them with a guardian."

"U-DO?" Jin asks. "So they made this universe?"

"Yes, everything that you see before you. Light and darkness are always combating for complete control for this universe."

"Wow, this is some higher level thinking…" Allen scratches his head. "My head's spinning just from hearing everything!"

Gnosis suddenly materialize from the walls all around the group. Hordes of them are drawn to the immense power created from the three way battle between the Sovereigns. chaos notices this and fires a couple of energy rays to ward some of them off.

"The Gnosis!" Shion says. "KOS-MOS! Activate Hilbert effect!"

"She can't." Abel says. "She's charging up her power to seal Zarathustra."

Shion looks up at the horde. "Then the Gnosis will…"

"Leave the Hilbert effect to me!" A voice says from behind. A blue wave suddenly bathes the entire room, materializing all of the Gnosis and stopping the outside advances. However, the ones on the inside continued to fly towards the battle.

Gunshots are fired and its targets die from the bullets.

"MOMO! Jr.!" Jin exclaims.

"I don't know what's going on. But if the Gnosis are here, this can't be good." Jr. runs forward and continues to fire more shots, taking down more Gnosis. MOMO helps him out by using enchanted arrows to bring them down.

"I'm not going to stand here and do nothing to help chaos and KOS-MOS!" Shion runs forward and jabs her M.W.S. Blade into a gargantuan Gnosis. She discharges a high voltage of electricity to finish it off. Out of the corner of her eye, she sees a sword flying straight towards her giving no time for her to react.

Metal strikes metal as Jin knocks the sword Gnosis' weapon away. "Keep your guard up, Shion!"

"Thanks!" She runs ahead to help MOMO and Jr. while Jin finished off the sword Gnosis with a few swings of his blade. The Gnosis slowly merged into a big group that couldn't be taken down by Jr. and MOMO alone. Shion released a flaming shot at the big group, scorching them all into a crisp.

Jin was about to help Shion, MOMO, and Jr. destroy the Gnosis but a familiar voice stops him. "Uzuki!"

Jin slowly turns around and sees Margulis charging at him. He barely manages to ward off Margulis' attack. Jin then quickly jumps back to maintain his distance.

Margulis engages in an offensive sword stance. "It's been far too long, Uzuki."

"There are more important things going on right now, Colonel." Jin glances behind him and sees the trio advancing towards KOS-MOS. Abel and Nephilim moved to a different location so that the Gnosis wouldn't get them. "So I'll have to decline your duel."

Jin runs towards KOS-MOS with Margulis trailing behind. "Don't think you will get away from me!"

Heinlein shields himself with his one wing from Wilhelm's Rain of Light then flies to the side. (Why can't I touch him?!)

chaos is flying all around the room, dodging homing beams. He quickly flies up and watches the beams explode behind him. He looks over to Heinlein and Wilhelm who were in an intense battle of beam fighting.

(At this rate, the Gnosis will create the paradox…) chaos quickly releases a dazzling array of light beams at the Gnosis that were able to get past MOMO and the others. (Jr. and the others won't be able to hold them off for long…)

"Margulis!" Wilhelm shouts.

Margulis stops and looks at Wilhelm. "Master Heinlein?"

Heinlein is about to say something but he is kept away by Wilhelm's energy shower. "Kill the group that are destroying the Gnosis. That is a direct order from me."

Margulis hesitates but nods. "Yes, Your Grace!" He continues his charge and jumps into the air. "Uzuki!"

Jin blocks the blow from behind and then kicks Margulis away. They both square each other off while the Jr., MOMO, and Shion continue warding off the Gnosis. Jr. throws a bunch of coins up into the air and fires ricochet shots at the Gnosis. MOMO uses her Gold Crown attack to power the trio up while Shion locked onto several targets and unleashed a scattershot.

Jin and Margulis both charge forward and start fighting wildly. Jin spins around with his sword while Margulis ducks. Margulis follows through with a low sweep while Jin jumps up and brings his sword down. Margulis moves to the side to dodge it and then tries to cut Jin from behind. Jin quickly rolls forward to dodge.

Margulis tries to bring his sword down on Jin while he's rolling but it gets deflected. Jin immediately jumps up into the air when he stops his roll and then turns around to face Margulis. He fires his Frost Nova at Margulis which is cut in half by Margulis' defensive stance. Margulis charges forward with his sword in the ground creating sparks which danced around the blade towards Jin's landing point. Jin throws his sword straight down and lands on it. At the same time, Margulis brings his sword upwards which is blocked by the thrown blade. The sparks crackle but none of it hits Jin.

Jin kicks Margulis in the face and backflips, grabbing his sword and then charging forward when he lands on his feet. Margulis knocks away Jin's attack and then they engage in a close range combat fight like they did when they fought at Labyrinthos. Sword slashes upon sword slashes are thrown; each one being blocked or dodged by spinning or ducking. Any wrong move by either one of them could cost them the duel.

Margulis does a backflip over Jin's backhand sweep and brings his sword down from behind. Jin barely blocks it and kicks Margulis back. They both assume a fighting stance and eye their opponent.

Jin breathes heavily. (I don't know how much longer I can last…that fight with Elli really wore me out…)

"It's over, Uzuki. I can already see that you've been exhausted before we fought."

"What you say may be true, Colonel, but…you still haven't been able to land a hit on me, as exhausted as I am."

Margulis' eye twitches. "Then I will finish this here and now!" He charges forward and starts chanting an incantation. A shadow double appears behind him and jumps on Margulis' back. He jumps into the air while the other charges forward.

Jin pulls his sword in front of him and waits. As soon as both Margulis' converged on Jin, he unleashes several consecutive lightning fast attacks which blocks both of the Margulis' attacks as well as blow both of them away with cuts all over their bodies.

The shadow Margulis dissipates while the real Margulis lies on the ground with blood coming out of his wound.

Margulis stares up in the ceiling, making no movement to try and continue the fight. His head was starting to feel light and his vision was fading away. "So…" Margulis began slowly. "This is the end…" He coughs and starts to close his eyes for good. "I can't believe…that…you defeated me…"

Jin falls down on one knee and catches himself by stabbing his sword into the ground. (I guess I've pushed myself to far this time…) Everything around Jin starts to become hazy. (At least…you won't go alone…Colonel…)

Jin starts to see a silhouette of a blonde woman approaching him. (So…this is what it's like to die. Seeing visions from the past…and the silence of tranquility…) He closes his eyes. (I'm sorry…for not being able to…realize your true feelings…Pellegri…)

"Jin!" chaos flies towards Jin and sees Gnosis getting ready to eat both the bodies of Margulis and Jin. A spear impales a Gnosis and is then thrown into a flying Gnosis destroying them both. "Pellegri?"

Pellegri's hands are shaking uncontrollably after seeing Jin and Margulis. "You Gnosis scum!" She charges forward and starts fighting with a two-sword Gnosis. She keeps thrusting forward until she finally finds an open spot and pierces the Gnosis. She swings it around and slams it into a Gnosis behind her. More Gnosis begin swarming the room and fly towards Wilhelm and Heinlein.

(There's too many for everyone to hold off…) chaos thinks.

"Yeshua!" Maria calls out. "I don't have enough power to seal Zarathustra!"

(Then so be it.) chaos flies above Maria and holds his arms out. "All the lost wills that gather before us…" A cross starts to form around chaos and shines with a brilliant light. "May you find the way when we become one."

The light emanating from chaos' cross starts to suck all of the Gnosis that were coming far and wide using a vortex of divine power. Both Heinlein and Wilhelm stop fighting and look at what chaos is doing.

Heinlein floats down to the ground and becomes angry. "What the heck is that fool thinking?! If he keeps this up, then he'll…"

"It seems that now is the time." Wilhelm raises one of his hands into the air and starts moving it in a circle. In the air, faint traces of objects start to slowly appear until they completely materialize into spheres of light.

Jr. stops fighting and notices the 12 objects in the air. He couldn't help but feel he had seen them before. "Are those… the Vessels of Anima?! How did he…?"

Both Shion and MOMO stop fighting and look at what Jr. is looking at. The Vessels are spinning in a circle around a small sphere of energy which continues to grow as the Vessels spin around it.

Shion lowers her M.W.S. "What's Wilhelm going to do with them?"

"He will use the Vessels to stop chaos' Sacrifice." Nephilim answers. She and Abel are standing right in front of the trio.

"How can that happen?" MOMO asks. "Aren't the Vessels just power sources for the E.S.s.?"

"That is one of their many purposes." Abel points a finger at chaos. "The Vessels of Anima actually have the power to suppress chaos' power."

Jr. scratches his head in confusion. "What?"

"The Seraphim knew that the Sovereigns would somehow or later get involved with this universe that they created…so they created a program that could easily suppress the powers of the Sovereigns using U-DO's power."

"Then how is Wilhelm able to use the Vessels?" Shion asks. "He's a Sovereign as well, isn't he?"

"Unfortunately, the Seraphim did not have the foresight to create it so that they were the only ones who could use it. They probably never would've thought that Wilhelm knew how to unleash its powers."

A woman's voice says from behind, "Is there any way to stop it then?"

"Pellegri?!" Jr. points his guns at her but she holds a hand up for a symbol of peace.

"I'm not here to fight you." Pellegri looks over to Jin and Margulis. "I'm here for them."

"Jin!" Shion runs over to her deceased brother but is stopped by Pellegri. "It's too late. They're both gone."

"No!" Tears begin to stream down Shion's face as she falls down to her knees. MOMO pats Shion's shoulders gently to comfort her.

Heinlein turns around and sees Wilhelm getting ready to unleash the Vessels power. He then looks over to chaos and Maria; both are sitting ducks.

"I said that I would take you down…" Heinlein flies towards Wilhelm who is also unguarded. "And I will!" He nails Wilhelm hard in the gut and takes him up into the air where the sphere had grown as big as the circle that the Vessels created. "I will not let this sphere stop Yeshua!"

"You wouldn't…" Wilhelm says.

Heinlein doesn't say anything and charges straight into the sphere.

As soon as both of them burst into the sphere, mystic symbols begin to envelop the sphere and the Vessels start slowing down. A burst of energy erupts from the sphere blowing everyone except chaos, Maria, Abel, and Nephilim backwards a couple of feet. The sphere then slowly shrinks into nothing is left and the Sovereigns aren't seen.

"Heinlein sacrificed himself to stop Wilhelm…" Nephilim says. Her voice is wavering a little bit. "May your soul rest in peace."

A scream pierces the anomaly that chaos created with his Sacrifice.

Maria looks up and sees that absorbing the Gnosis was too much for Yeshua. Their numbers were far too great. "Yeshua!"

"I can't take anymore!" chaos cuts off his transfer leaving a handful of Gnosis flying around. The Gnosis start moving towards Maria, wanting to be absorbed. "Shion! You have to stop them or they will disrupt KOS-MOS's system!"

"Alright!" Shion fires a flaming missile towards a bird Gnosis and takes it down. The other Gnosis turn to the group and start converging on them. Jr. and MOMO start firing bullets and arrows at the Gnosis but aren't enough to take them down.

"Shit!" Jr. stops firing and quickly reloads.

"Charge time sucks." Shion mutters and activates the M.W.S. close range combat system. "Pellegri! Back me up!"

Both of them start slicing through the Gnosis with ease. A sword Gnosis sneaks around Shion and Pellegri's circle of defense and throws one of its swords.

"Look out behind you, Shion!" MOMO shouts.

Shion hears the sword penetrate a body but it's not hers. She turns around and sees a sword coming out of Pellegri's back.

"Pellegri!"

Blood is trickling down Pellegri's mouth as she grins. "Don't worry…it's nothing…" She throws her spear at the sword Gnosis and nails it in the head. It falls over and dissipates.

Pellegri takes out the sword and then tosses it aside. She falls forward and crashes into the ground.

"MOMO! Heal her up quick!" Jr. says as he holsters his guns.

"On it!" MOMO puts away her bow and starts trying to close up Pellegri's wound.

"Don't…" Pellegri moans.

"C'mon! You can live!" MOMO keep trying to nurse Pellegri back to full health.

Jin and Margulis' bodies are the last things she sees before closing her eyes. "I want to…go to where they are…"

Tears start to fall down MOMO's cheek. "Pellegri…"

Jr. holds her as Shion stands in shock.

"Do not worry about your brother. He will be able to live in peace now." Nephilim reassures her.

A tear streaks down Shion's cheek.

chaos starts to convert the lost human souls into spiritual energy Maria could use since there was no more threat.

"Maria…the rest…is up to you…" His cross splits into millions of beams of energy that fly into Maria. She starts to emit a golden glow and the power of her phase cannons shoots up to an unprecedented level. She releases all of her power at once at Zarathustra and creates a supernova which engulfs the entire planet. It soon becomes a chain reaction causing nearby planets to blow up and asteroids to shoot to other locations.

-------

Maria is walking through the light. She is looking around for someone. "Yeshua? Yeshua! Where are you?" She continues further but ahead is no different, nothing but light. "I want to be with you!"

She searches for a little awhile longer but he doesn't show up. Just as she was about to give up, warm arms wrap around her and she feels his soothing presence. "I'm right here. Are you sure that you want to go with me? Won't Shion be worried about you?"

"It's fine...now that the Gnosis are gone and any threat to destroy that place is gone. I know that Shion will carve out a new future."

"If that is what you wish…" chaos takes Maria's hand and disappears in the never-ending light.

-------

The light shines down, waking up a sleeping URTV from his slumber. Jr. stretches his arms out wide and looks around. Somehow, that explosion had sent him to the beach. He looked around for the others.

"MOMO! Shion! chaos! Is anybody out there?!"

His voice echoes through the landscape and fades away with distance.

"Am I the only survivor?"

Albedo started to stir up in Jr.'s head.

You still have me.

Jr. sighs. "You're just freeloading off of me."

And what difference does that make? At least you have company!

"Jr.! Over here!" MOMO calls.

Jr. turns to see MOMO running towards him. She tackles him into the sand and starts to laugh. Jr. is confused at first and starts to laugh with her.

The tide comes in and bathes the couple with refreshing waters. "What happened? Where is everyone?"

"Shion and Allen are looking for a place for us to live." MOMO gets off of Jr. and sits down in the sand. She stares out at the horizon as the tide recedes. "KOS-MOS and chaos are gone…and so is Ziggy…"

Jr. gets up and moves his finger through the sand making a number eight. "I was wondering why the old man didn't show up."

MOMO's hair blew in the wind and ruffled Jr.'s hair. The silence between the couple was filled in with the coming of the tides. The seagulls flew into the expanse of the ocean, not knowing when they would find land again.

"There's no way back." MOMO says.

"So, we're stuck here?" Jr. leans back with his arms behind his head. "That sucks. I was kinda hoping I would play with Alby when we got back."

MOMO looks at Jr. "Maybe you will if you live for another hundred years."

Jr. waved off the notion. "Guess we'll just have to get to work, huh?"

MOMO nods, thinking about what chaos and KOS-MOS had done back at Zarathustra. They both sacrificed everything they had in order to keep the universe that Shion, Allen, Jr. and herself lived in safe. They gave them a second chance.

MOMO looks in the sky and sees two children playing. She smiles knowing that they would finally be at peace. She sees two more figures watching over the children, faces that were familiar to her. Faces that she would always remember. The memories of her friends that had departed burned strongly in her heart. She knew that they would not want her to live a life of depression; they had worked hard to achieve goals which would affect everyone, not just themselves.

Her mother and all of her other friends may have been thousands of light years away, but she knew that she had their support all the way, from beginning to finish. She knew that she would be able to see them again. Maybe tomorrow, maybe some other day, but definitely sometime in the near future. That's what she wished for.

But now was not the time to be wishing and grieving. Now was the time to shape chaos and KOS-MOS' gift and bring their gifts to fruition with the help of Jr. and Shion and Allen. Together, there was nothing that she couldn't do.

"Yep...we need to get started."
