Zero Two and Hiro stood together, floating in a void of nothingness, heads pressed together. Blue and Red horns stuck intertwined.
"You are me..." Said Hiro, staring into his lover's eyes.
"... and you are me." Finished Zero Two.
"We'll probably vanish soon, to where I have no idea." Says Hiro. 'But the path we've walked won't ever fade, because others will take it even further."
Zero Two was accepting her fate, "It doesn't matter how long it takes." The void was beginning to brighten and it was harder and harder to see now. "If we have souls, I swear I'll meet you again on Earth."
The void was beginning to vanish from their eyes and soon they felt even their bodies disappear. Their very souls were all that was left. Their spirits spun through the cosmos, but something was wrong. The stars were dyed purple and the two spirits were in shock, they had won. They had earned this victory, why was the world fading?
Virm's voice echoed through the cosmos, and with the very ounce of strength they had left, they would not accept defeat. "You would willingly leave us to return to you pain and suffering?! We will not let you! We are the apex of evolution!" Screamed Virm, sacrificing every mind in their collective, every soul and spirit burned in the fury of Virm and they did something... The world spun, and Zero Two felt themselves being pulled apart.
"Darling!" Screamed Zero Two, hands stretched as far as they could, grasping for hiro's hand.
"Zero Two!" Cried Hiro, trying to grasp for his beloved's hands.
The world was spinning in their eyes now, and their spirits collapsed into mere balls of light, sucked back to Earth. Orange flashed past them and various voices could be heard, one's of the past.
The two balls of light fell back to Earth, back into their... bodies?
