Chapter 1: A Myth That Holds an End – Forbidden Union – The Appearance of a Nephilim
Andrew Sevelt was a seventeen year old nephilim, a half angel, standing he would be nearly six feet tall with spikey brown hair and icy blue eyes. He was currently wearing a crimson hoodie under a black leather car coat with a pair of dark gray cargo pants and a pair of black combat boots. He was known by many names across the world, the hero Paradox, the leader of the Renegades, the Herald of Chaos, the Harbinger of Order, the Monster of God, Hathiyāra, and that winged bastard.
Currently he was residing within the void after being sucked in by an attack from the Devil himself. He chuckled hollowly as he thought about it. He had lost most of his friends in that battle due to falling in the void.
"How long have I been in here?" he thought to himself as he stared once more into the darkness, he had lost count of how long he had been in here. Strangely the only thing he could see was his body within the darkness.
"Andrew, I think we figured out how to get out of here." A rumbling voice echoed from his mind. The voice belonged to Arcafinr, the embodiment of the chaos of creation and Andrew's father figure despite being a massive tiger with gold and crimson hemochromatic eyes.
"Yeah partner we should be able to get you out of here. It should only take a few moments." Another voice rang out through his head. This voice belonged to Atzalan, the embodiment of the order of creation. He took the form of a massive golden lion with blue eyes.
"Alright" Andrew said out loud before cutting off the connection, really who was going to be listening to him in the void.
Within a few moments the gauntlets that acted as their manifestation through Andrew appeared on his arms and began to glow. Before him a circle of kaleidoscopic light appeared and he felt a pulling sensation from it before he was sucked in leaving the void once again dark as the portal closed.
๑ஜ۩۞۩ஜ๑
Andrew fell out of the kaleidoscopic colored portal coming face to face with an expanse of azure blue sky. Free falling through the air currents he closed his eyes blissfully and began taking giant gulps of air savoring the taste of it. He fell through a layer of clouds reveling in the freedom from the void.
He rolled in the air angling his body down as he opened his eyes. Only to panic as he saw the roof of a building coming dangerously close to hitting it. In a vain attempt to stop himself from crashing he spread a pair of ethereal wings before they became solid.
Unfortunately this didn't help at all because the second his wings became solid he broke through the roof of the building before crashing into what seemed to be a concrete stage and smacking his head off it.
All he saw before the world went black were two figures rushing towards him.
๑ஜ۩۞۩ஜ๑
Andrew awoke with a pained groan as he looked around at his surroundings. He was in a movie theatre from what he could tell from the seats and the massive screen. With a grunt he sat up and felt his forehead and pulled off a bandage that someone had wrapped around his head. Whatever wounds he had were now gone and replaced with smooth skin.
Now having feeling in his body once again he shoved his body off the stage only to look up and see two people, a boy and a girl both looking near his age, looking at him wide eyed. Andrew blinked and glanced at where they were looking and saw his gold tinted wings were still out and present.
"Shit." He swore as he looked at the two in front of him. "Can you please tell me where I am exactly?" He looked up and saw the hole he created and grimaced.
"N-Neo Venice." The boy said still starring at Andrew's wings. The boy was about his height with tan hair and violet red eyes; he wore a red military vest, black shirt, a thick belt and cargo shorts with a pair of combat boots.
Andrew grumbled before rubbing his head to stave off the headache he felt coming on. "The year maybe?" The girl answered this time.
"It's XXXX." She was around the same height as the boy with her violet hair in a bun and cyan eyes. She wore a dress shirt, a waistcoat with dress strap shoulders, a pink ribbon around her neck, and a two layer pleated mini-skirt. She also wore a pair of violet-red thigh-high shoes.
At that statement Andrew let out a sigh before making his wings ethereal and retracting them. Before giving the two teens a sheepish look. "Would you mind showing me around? I think I'm very lost and I have no clue how I got here."
"Sure." The boy said looking a bit disappointed. "I was going to show-" he paused a second before looking at the girl who answered.
"Mikono." She said timidly with a bow. The boy nodded before continuing.
"Since I was going to show her around you can come as well if you want to." Andrew nodded his head in thanks.
"I'm Andrew by the way, Andrew Sevelt," He held out his hand to the two. The boy shook his hand.
"Amata, Amata Sora." He said with a smile before looking at the ceiling. Andrew followed his gaze before wincing.
"Give me a second to fix that." Andrew sheepishly said before reaching into his inner energy and focusing on the wreckage before it lifted back up into the ceiling and melded back into place. "That should do it," He said with a nod. "Now shall we be going?"
Amata nodded dumbly before slowly walking up the stair of the theater with Andrew and Mikono following him.
๑ஜ۩۞۩ஜ๑
"This is really nice." Andrew thought looking at the sky as he sat up from his spot in the gondola. Amata and Mikono were chatting about something with a radio playing and to be honest at the moment he didn't really care. For the first time in what he felt was forever he was free of the void and was out in the beautiful world.
"I hate it when they talk about Abductors." Mikono said, a small frown made its way onto her face.
"Yeah, no kidding there wasn't any good news to begin with," Amata replied. "But with everybody being taken there's not much else to talk about. The worst parts' gotta be not knowing where they're going to strike."
This peaked Andrew's interest. "Mind explaining what you're talking about?" he tried to ask as politely as possible. If the shocked faces they gave him were anything to go by, then it might have been the wrong question to ask.
Amata looked at him incredulously before answering. "It started over sixteen years ago when these beings from another dimension, they say, began to abduct the women of the population. Hence the name Abductors."
Andrew nodded his head. "Wouldn't they have come up with something to fight them by now?" he asked the two in front of him.
"Aquaria." Mikono said before the gondola was bumped by another boat sending Mikono tumbling into Amata. He looked at the two blushing before chuckling internally.
"Lovebirds, they always make life more interesting." At that moment what he thought was a bow in Mikono's hair jumped out of her bun revealing a small white creature that proceeded to latch onto Amata's finger and bite the hell out of it, him screaming the entire time, before flying off his finger and landing on Mikono's shoulder.
"Sorry I should have warned you about ShuShu." She scratched the now dubbed Shu's head. "Seriously what is it about kitties and hair?"
Andrew's eyebrows rose at that. "That's a cat?" both him and Amata shouted at the same time.
"Yeah, what else?"
"Did something happen to it?" Amata asked her. Andrew just sat there staring at the thing.
"I found him when I took cover from an Abductor." She smiled looking at it. "Poor little guy."
And with that the group of three made their way once more down the river in the gondola.
๑ஜ۩۞۩ஜ๑
A little while after they had gotten off the gondola the group of Andrew had followed Amata to a pavilion on top of a tower in the center upon a pillar was a statue that was portraying a male angel and a human woman in a tender embrace.
"Who are they?" Andrew asked the two looking at the statue.
"Apollon and Sylvie," Amata answered looking at the same statue his voice was distant. "They're a part of an old story of how twelve thousand years ago they stopped these beings called Shadow Angels from harvesting the people of the planet for something."
Andrew looked at him puzzled when he said the name Shadow Angels. It sounded like it could be another name for fallen angels but he wasn't going to question it at the moment.
"In the story," Amata continued "After they had defeated the Shadow Angels however something happened to the earth causing it to break apart and Apollon used his machine angel Aquaria to pull the earth back together at the cost of his life."
"It's just a little kid's story that parents tell their children to get them to go to bed." Mikono said more to Amata than to Andrew.
"More than often stories have slivers of truth buried within them." Andrew said softly still starring at the statue before turning to look at his two current companions. Amata was blushing furiously because of something Mikono probably said and for a split second Amata seemed to float for a second before he forced himself down by holding the side of the pavilion.
"Ah, gotta make a pit stop. " He chuckled. "Be back in a few.' And with that he awkwardly made his way down the flight of stairs leaving Andrew and Mikono alone by the statue.
"So," Mikono started. "You have wings."
Andrew chuckled softly at her question and he gave her a smile. "Yes I do have wings."
Her answer to his response was a single question. "How?"
"To put it simply," he started. "I'm a Nephilim." The confused look she gave him caused another smile to form on his face. "I'm half human, half angel." At this he saw a look of realization cross her face. She looked like she was going to say something before her 'cat' started acting up pointing at something in the sky.
Andrew narrowed his eyes looking at the sky in the direction ShuShu was pointing with its ears and saw small sparkling specks coming towards them. Within seconds massive pods began to descend upon the city before opening up revealing a crab-like mech that began to capture people throughout the city in orange balls.
The tower that the pavilion was on shook knocking down Mikono and sending the other people on the pavilion running for their lives while screaming their heads off. Andrew was the least effected being used to situations like this before.
"Mikono!" He heard and turned around to see Amata sprinting towards their spot on the pavilion. He got there in a few seconds just in time for one of the crab-like mechs to land near the tower and begin blinking.
Andrew cursed under his breath before he flared his power and made his wings visible; he reached into his inner world ready to materialize a particular weapon before the sound of gunfire harshly brought him back into reality to see the mech was now knocked back. He looked in the direction that his two current companions were looking and saw it.
Before the three of them was a massive robot carrying what seemed to be a handheld gatling gun with one hand firing at the other crab mechs around them before it was knocked back by another mech. This one was humanoid with crimson plate-like wings and was wielding an axe weapon.
Andrew grit his teeth before standing straighter and made up his mind. He wasn't going to let people suffer if he had the power to change it. "You might want to close your eyes." He said to Amata and Mikono. "Please don't freak out when you see this." And with that he lifted up his arm and spoke one phrase.
"Awaken, Apocalyptic Genesis." With that a pillar of crimson and golden flames consumed him.
"Andrew!" Amata shouted seeing the person who had been traveling around with seemingly burst into flames. Next to him Mikono looked on the verge of tears.
"I told you not to freak out." A voice said from the fire before it faded. When the fire dissipated Andrew stood there now in a different outfit. His brown hair was now longer and looked like giant feathers, sitting on his forehead was a golden circlet that had a small sapphire as its center. Around his neck was a golden amulet that extended down to his chest and over his shoulder and a red sash. Across his torso were black tattoos, around his waist were red and black sashes trimmed with gold held in place by a black sash with a gold medallion holding it together. On his arms and legs were golden bracelets decorated with rubies sprouting out of his shoulder blades was a pair of massive gold tinted wings. (1)
"Give me a moment." He said before he shot off toward the two fighting mechs with a flap of his wings.
With Apocalyptic Genesis augmenting his already supernatural strength he slammed into the red mech at Mach 3 sending it flying off the other one before it was hit was fit from another round of bullets from a another mech similar to the one that had just been being beat up.
Seeing that the one mech was being handled he shot off with another flap of wings shot off towards the nearest mech that was capturing people. He reached within his mind and found the weapon he needed before reciting his aria.
"My Soul was Born of Steel"
"Thou art I and I art Thou"
"Tempered and Forged from Heaven's Hands"
Then in his hands a pair of chains with blade-like heads (2) materialized in his hands. He began coating the chains in fire before sending them flying at the mechs causing them to break, focusing on the chains he sent them after as many that he could see without endangering the lives of the people within them.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Andrew heard a scream from where he had left Amata and Mikono. Fearing for his new friend's lives he shot off towards where he left them. Within a minute he reached the now destroyed pavilion to find the two of them trapped underneath the broken statue with Amata using his body to keep Mikono from being crushed by the wing of the stone angel.
"Give me a second," he said getting down next to the two of them and putting his hands under the cracked wing and began lifting. "I'll get you out of here in no time." The sound of giant feet impacting, pistons moving, an explosion, and finally a scream of "MIKONO!" drew his attention away from freeing the two to turning his head to look behind him only to see the same mech he hit earlier crawling towards them.
"Shit." He cursed seeing how close it was to them. Glancing behind the massive robot he saw that the two that he had helped earlier had broken into a half dozen of futuristic looking spaceships. A golden glow and a scream of "Hang On!" was all it took for him to look back to the people he had been trying to save were now flying into the sky towards one of the ships.
It took a second before Andrew felt something pulling him towards another one of the ships. Seriously he wasn't able to move something was pulling him into one of the ships now. He saw a flash of blinding light before an image of a galaxy appeared and faded leaving him in what seemed to be a cockpit with an admittedly beautiful green haired teenage girl about his age.
"Ah," He started off awkwardly "Hello there." She stared at him for a second before a screen appeared with a scowling teen with spikey navy hair who shouted.
"Alright, Move In!" a look of concentration crossed the girls face as he realized off handedly that his wings had retracted and Apocalyptic Genesis was still activated.
"Yeah I gathered that!" She replied sarcastically back. A smile appeared on Andrew's face. Oh yes, he was already taking a liking to her.
Andrew grabbed onto the back of her seat as she made the ship dive towards the red axe wielding mech. He heard a voice in his head that wasn't Arcafinr or Atzalan.
'Shatter the false idol. As it crumbles to dust speak truth to power. Speak the name and inherit a legend.'
After he heard those words Andrew felt a huge surge of power from the ship he had seen Amata and Mikono enter it was on the level of Arcafinr and Atzalan both of which were opposite sides of the aspect of creation.
The ship he was in with the girl was suddenly coated in a blue aura before it was dragged along by the ship that had given off the huge power surge. Within the ship a huge amount of electricity jumped from the controls and shocked both him and the girl in front of him.
He felt the cockpit shutter for a second before a world of kaleidoscopic light exploded around him and an immense amount of emotions flooded his consciousness and he began to hear the thoughts of four other people that included the one he was currently in a cockpit with.
Something about this felt right. The thoughts began to get louder and louder but they were still muffled. Andrew felt something trying to block the connection and scowled. This didn't seem to be something you should block. He sent out a pulse of his own angelic energy before he felt another surge of power from above him before whatever was trying to block the connection shattered, all he felt after that was flurry of passionate emotions and Amata shout out.
"AQUARION EVOL!"
With that statement the world shifted back from the kaleidoscopic light and he found himself once more in the cockpit of the same ship he had been in. Only this time the beautiful woman was no longer in front of him but she was on his lap. This made him blush atomically at the woman in front of him. Andrew opened his mouth to say something only to be cut off by a screen that opened up on the wall next two the two of them and all he heard was an angry conversation between Amata and Mikono and the spikey navy haired teen.
The greenette shouted at the man on the screen. "Someone explain to me how a couple civilians are in here and operating the head!?"
This went on for several seconds while the cockpit was being rocked by the impacts from the other mech and finally Andrew got tired of the bickering.
"Shut Up!" he roared startling the people currently in the robot to stop talking. "I don't care what the hell your problems with eachother but right at the moment we're attached to eachother and being attacked. So shut up and get to work."
He turned to the screen that was showing Amata and Mikono. "You know how to work this thing?"
"Uh," He sheepishly said. "I think I do."
Andrew nodded his head. "Then follow your instincts and let them guide you." He got a nod from Amata in response before the link closed. He looked at the greenette in his lap. "So, what part of this robot's body are we?"
She looked at him strangely. "Uh, the torso I think." Andrew nodded his head that that before the cockpit rumbled again and he saw the red mech was being restrained by three others that he assumed were reinforcements. After the girl started talking to Amata, he was focused on the scene before him and wasn't paying attention to their conversation, a massive orange palm shout out of the robot's hand and slammed two of the mechs restraining the red one into the nearby mountain creating an palm shaped crater in it.
"Damn." He whistled, "That was pretty impressive." The girl's face lit up an atomic red before it turned serious when the red mech tore off one off one of the mechs that was holding it; well that thought of them being comrades went out the window pretty quick.
The mech charged into them slamming into Aquarion's body before a flash of kaleidoscopic light once more overtook his vision and he saw a dark bleak hill littered with triangle crosses and a cloaked precession climbing up it each holding a candle.
"Ah what is it now." He heard the girl complain "Really!"
"It's the vision I keep having," The navy haired teen said. "No, not now!" This peaked his interest what could be so bad other than the depressing atmosphere.
Then he saw who was on the top of the hill. A man and a woman both dressed in black wedding clothes "That's not creepy at all." He thought the sarcasm from it could have killed a whale. Then he saw the bride's face.
It was a paler version of Mikono who had sad, empty, downcast eyes.
"Show Me The Groom Damn You!" The navy haired teen shouted and the vision closed in on the man standing next to the gothic Mikono. The man turned and Andrew saw a head of red hair with golden eyes and a tan face. Sitting on the face was an arrogant smirk that made him want to deck the guy in the face. There was a flash of gold above the couple and before Andrew could see what caused it the vision exploded into weird kaleidoscopic cruciform showing the red mech from before was now charging at them on all fours.
Apparently Amata figured out how to pilot the robot because the mech was intercepted by a punch and began firing pink lasers. "Seriously pink? Why are they pink!" he thought
The mech used one of the ones that had been holding it back as a shield to take the brunt of the laser's force before sending its wings towards them as U-shaped projectiles that knocked them down. They then shot into the sky before coming back down and pinning them to the ground electrocuting Aquarion.
Andrew growled as he felt the electricity flood his boy and heard the screams of the other people in the mech. Ignoring the pain as much as he could he delved into his inner world and pulled on the one object that would stop it, materializing it without the use of his aria.
"Rho Aias!" he shouted.
But instead of materializing outside the mech it materialized along the mech's body and forced the U-shaped projectiles off of Aquarion the entire time screaming his head off as his healing factor fought to keep his body from becoming crispy. That was the downside of Rio Aias whatever damage the shield took it would be transferred to the wielder's body. The greenette was giving him a worried look as electricity began arcing along his body. "Don't worry," He grunted out. "I'll be fine."
The electricity stopped long enough for the systems to come back on line showing the red mech was now on top of them ready to throw another punch. Unfortunately for Andrew Rho Aias was also still active causing him to take the damage for Aquarion keeping the other people inside safe. The first punch hit.
The first petal fell.
The second punch came and another after that one. And one by one each punch felled a petal of Rho Aias until they were all gone and Andrew was bleeding from the spots that Aquarion had been hit when the shield was up. The worst was healing quickly but it still hurt like hell.
Andrew felt another sure of power before he saw that the red mech had been thrown off them. And he felt the mech shift signaling it lifted off the ground before flying towards the red mech before grabbing it and flying into the sky. Each second they flew Andrew felt the power becoming stronger and stronger until it was nearly as strong as his own.
The power finally stopped rising when they reached orbit and slammed the red mech into an asteroid outside of the earth's orbit creating a crater. That made him pause a second while he ran that through his head a couple time before he thought. "Where's the moon?"
Aquarion backed off of the mech seeing the condition it was. That didn't stop the mech from pulling itself out of the crater with its mangled limbs and coming towards them. It stopped as a rainbow circle appeared out of nowhere.
"Dimension gate two o' clock." The voice belonging to the navy haired kid said
"A dimensional gate?" Andrew thought as he saw the mech pulled into the circle. He sighed in relief, but only for a second due to the mech he was in breaking into three and began tumbling through the atmosphere. "Shit."
๑ஜ۩۞۩ஜ๑
Andrew was now standing on top of the ship that held Amata and Mikono, with Apocalyptic Genesis deactivated, with the two other pilots. The greenette had introduced herself as Zessica Wong after their ship had hit the ground. The navy haired teen introduced himself gruffly as Cayenne Suzushiro who was apparently Mikono's older brother. That surprised him because the two didn't look the same at all but he really couldn't say anything his father figure was a massive talking tiger that was the manifestation of the chaos of creation.
The top opened revealing the two and Mikono said her brother's name before he bent down and offered his hand Amata. The teen went to take the hand only to be grabbed by the wrist, yanked up and punched in the stomach before he could do anything.
"Stay away from Mikono." Cayenne growled out to the unconscious teen
"What the hell was that for?!" Andrew shouted at him only to be ignored in favor of listening to instructions from their higher ups telling him to bring the three of them in. He looked towards Zessica only to see her looking exasperated at her fellow pilot's actions.
๑ஜ۩۞۩ஜ๑
(1). Think Sinbad's Focalor Djinn Equip from Magi. But instead of feathers on his arms and legs there are braclets.
(2). The chain Enkidu from Fate/Stay Night or at least a version of the chain.
