Muv Luv Alternative Chronicles Earth The Final Conflict
PHASE 00 Prelude
Point of view of ?
Inside the restaurant where the waiters and waitresses were serving their customers, two persons were sitting at a table located at the corner. One of them are thirty to forty years old and he is dressed in white business suit while the other one seemed to be a teenage who is not older than twenty. However, if someone has even focused on their conversion, he or she would only discover that their conversion is nothing but strange or nonsense.
"I would like to have your assistance in order to assist someone to accomplish his ultimate objective." The elder man spoke to the younger teenage after he finished his cup of tea. From his action, he seemed to be a traditional British gentleman with a warm smile on his face. However, the teenage in front of him had no intention to take his request.
"My assistance to help someone to accomplish his objective? Do you have other better people to take the job instead of me?"
"Earth from the eighteenth dimensions had been invaded by BETA and the human species there is facing nothing but absolute extinction. Someone has to do something about it."
"If I am not mistaken, Shirogane Takeru known as the Silver Savior is the one who entrusted the destiny to ensure humanity's ultimate victory and survival from the threat of BETA." The teenager replied. "After the loop resulted as the implement of Alternative Five, he did accomplish the objective of Alternative Four and destroyed target 00 or better known as Original Hive, the first and largest BETA hive located at Earth; although he had to sacrifice all those who he held dear for the result."
"Yes, he did and instead of going to the loop without the existence of BETA, he chose to restart his loop again but this this time he had intended to protect the mankind and defeat the BETA as well as protecting those he held dear. Furthermore, this time he is not going to accomplish the task alone."
"In other words, he had additional assistance this time so why are we sitting in here?"
The teenager spoke to the man in front of him. "Since he had additional help, there is no need for further assistance as long as he could prevent the implement of Alternative Five and maybe, maybe this time he can get a better result than his last loop!"
"The term of assistance in your species means more assistance is always welcome than just enough."
"In short, overkill is better than lesser kill in human's words."
"It is the reason for you being here", the man replied calmly. "No one know better about the ultimate fate to humanity after the implement of so-called Alternative Five and no one would do anything more than you to prevent such possibility to become reality."
"Then why don't you and your species had done something about it if you are ready care about the well-being of humanity?" The teenager said angrily but still in low voice that never caught anyone attention. "Just talk to the Creator and told them to leave the Solar System alone and take its mining machines elsewhere, since there are more than enough dimensions or galaxies for its mining operation!"
"We are being restricted by the absolute law of universe that we cannot directly interfere with other civilizations that did not reach our level yet. Think about the reason for the Creator to create the BETA to do the mining operations, since the Creator can do it personally and even more effectively without the existence of BETA."
"As a result, your species call upon Shirogane Takeru to do the task for you, even this time it is actually his own will to become the hero that could protect those he hold dear, am I correct?"
"Then what is your decision, my friend?"
Instead of answered the man's request immediately, the teenager took out a USB scan disk from his pocket and put it on the table.
"I will take the assignment only if you agree my requests", the teenager said. "You can either provide what I need or find someone else to do it. No further discussion!"
The elder man touched the USB scan disk and a calm smile occurred from his face.
He then spoke to the teenager again.
"I see, you are ready to take the job even before I talk to you about the situation here; since you have already planned how to do and what is going to be required."
"A soldier only can kill a few men, no matter how well equipped he is. On the other hand, tactics can slay an army. I required an army to enforce the tactics I plan so at least I can remove the existence of BETA from the Solar System."
"I see, I can provide what you require from the beginning but you will need to get the resources and technologies by yourself in order to grow the size of your force. More than that would catch the attention from the Creator."
"Don't worry; I have no intention to restart the Great War since the last one. Besides, this is the matter of humanity and BETA so there is no need to involve the Creator. I have to say at least for the currently situation."
"I see, so when will you travel to the eighteenth dimension?"
"I am going to there as soon as possible. Send me the resources I request once I reached there. I need to setup the shop before our Silver Savior restarted his loop again." After his words, the teenager left his seat and left the restaurant through the front door. Before he left the table, he spoke to the elder man again. "Shirogane Takeru will become the true hero this time and able to protect those he hold dear; I am going to ensure that."
"How about you? You don't have intention to become a hero yourself?"
"Don't you forget something that is very important? I am a warlock that would sacrificed the entire world in order to protect those I hold dear instead of sacrificed their lives to save the entire world and protect it from ultimate destruction. No, I would never become a hero like Shirogane Takeru but it is also the major reason for me to take and suitable for this job. This time I would protect those I hold dear and no one, either BETA, Creator or even human that being brave ( or foolish ) enough to stand on my way is able to stop what I am going to do!"
"In short, you are willing to become a greater evil in order to fight against the evil and protect those you hold dear?"
"Despite human's intelligence, my species feud over small things and would fight for their last breath to protect those they hold dear, even the chance of accomplished such objective is below zero and we are going to fight ever harder for survival." The teenager spoke to the elder man as his final words before left the restaurant. However, he never appeared in the street and just disappeared from nowhere.
"In order to be no regret for the choice you make that leads to the path which only you can walk upon. You take the path of being an anti-hero and counter guardian for the infinity cycle; even means to sacrifice anything you had, even your life, to ensure those you hold dear are being protected. However, have you considered the feeling from those you left behind after you sacrificed yourself for so-called greater good?" The elder man put down his cup after he finished the tea. He disappeared from his position within the golden light and all the people in the restaurant as well as the restaurant itself disappeared; leaving the ruin of a dying world that no more life is even existed.
The world is once known as Earth, the Earth after the implemented of Alternative Five where the remaining humanity fight to the dead against the BETA invasion and eventually being eliminated. After no more resource is able to gain by BETA, the Creator recalled them and they left the drying world for another planetary mining operation. Only one person would remember the tales of brave men and women who fought for their last breath and sacrificed their lives of fire to ensure the survival of mankind. He clearly realized that there is no way to turn back the clock and save the lives of those he hold dear from the dying world. However, this time he is going to do whatever he can to protect and to ensure the well-being of those he hold dear; at no matter the cost!
