A/N: I do not own SRMTHFG. Again, this is the sequel to "Warrior Down."

Nacreous

Previously…

"My dear Nova. Come to me…"

I sobbed and shed one last tear in my eyes when I heard him. Without letting Antauri, Sprx, Gibson and Otto hear me, I whispered back,

"Alchemist… I'm coming."

I gaze back at them through the mirror. Their worry turned into complete distress now.

"Nova?" I heard Sprx say my name.

Silence filled the room—until the time has come.

"Goodbye, Hyper Force.

I have my eyes closed. Finally—I point my gun into my mouth.

"NO!" Gibson, Antauri, Otto and Sprx all screamed out, trying to stop her.

But…

Nova already pulled the trigger… shooting herself.

The blast echoes throughout the entire room…

Blood splatters behind her on the walls, floor and some on the teammates themselves…

And she collapses face down.

She died in seconds with the gun still in her hand.

The only thing the rest of the Hyper Force can do is stop and stare in horror and agony… since they have lost their golden warrior to suicide.

~~X~~

"What happened?" Chiro exclaimed as he entered Nova's room. By the time he stood at the doorway, all he could see is blood on the walls. The Hyper Force is covered with blood. He's shocked as hell when he perceives the carmine everywhere in the yellow girl's bedroom. "Oh, my…"

He looks at the Hyper Force.

Sprx is seen on the floor, holding onto Nova's corpse into his arms, crying hysterically. Aside with him, Otto is crying along whilst Antauri and Gibson are trying to suppress their sobbing.

"Guys!" Chiro exclaims in horror. Antauri, Gibson, Otto and Sprx—who is still holding Nova in his arms—gaze at him back.

"Chiro!" Otto cries out, "Nova… She… She shot herself!"

Chiro is shocked. "What?!"

Antauri says with a breaking voice, "It's true."

Gibson adds, still suppressing his tears, "She committed suicide right before our eyes."

Chiro couldn't believe it. All this time, he thought that Nova is—was—the strongest warrior. Now, she has been fallen.

"But… why?"

"We don't know yet," Gibson answers.

Sprx finally stops his hysterically sobbing, "It's all my fault!" He's cuddling Nova, as if she's still alive.

Everyone else looks at him. Chiro asks, "What do you mean, Sprx?"

Sprx continues to sob, "It's all my fault! I broke up with her and then made her kill herself! If I haven't broken up with her, she'd still be alive! It's all my fault!"

Otto laments at him, "How could you do this to her!"

Sprx laments back, "I didn't even think she would do it! I didn't even know she owned a gun!"

Right at that moment, the four begins to dirge at one another over the source of Nova's death. All Chiro could hear are their loud lamentations that he can't even make out what they mean.

"Quiet!" Chiro exclaims again, silencing the Hyper Force from their lamentations. "I'm sure it's nobody's fault! What exactly did Nova say before she…"

There's silence. It's even hard for the leader to bring up Nova's suicide.

Antauri breaks the silence, "We don't know yet. However, she mentioned something about the Alchemist."

"Alchemist?" Chiro asks.

"I think that's what she said as well," Gibson says. "She said something about saying she's coming to him. The very last thing we heard from her is a goodbye… and then she… you know."

"Why would Nova kill herself over the Alchemist?" Otto asks.

There's another silence. Silence that can never be filled.

Chiro finally breaks it, "Guys… I'm afraid that we may never know. Come on, we better give her the proper burial."

Somewhere in their headquarters, the boys have already bandaged Nova's head and placed her standing upwards in one of those pods.

"We'll never forget you, Nova." Otto mourns.

"You've always been the strongest warrior we ever had in our life." Antauri says to her softly.

"It's too bad we'll never know why you did this," Gibson says sadly.

Sprx is the only one who is silent. Not only is he mourning, he's severely heartbroken that he has lost the love of his life.

Chiro places his hand on Sprx's shoulder. "It's okay, Sprx. It's never your fault."

Sprx gently takes Chiro's hand off his shoulder. He walks up to Nova's corpse in the pod. Touching her cheek one last time through the bloodied bandage—he gives her a kiss. Her final kiss ever. Then, Sprx backs off from the pod.

"I love you, Nova." Sprx says to her.

As soon as the boys gave their final goodbyes to their warrior Nova, Chiro closes the pod and then locks it.

One year later…

"Alright, Team," Chiro says, being a some kind of referee. The Hyper Force are playing skate hockey outside of the Super Robot with their skates matching their signature colors and holding hockey sticks. The Team is split into two, Antauri and Gibson versus Otto and Sprx. Chiro continues, "First one to score three points win."

"Whoo hoo!" Otto cheers, "Hockey!"

"Let's do this!" Sprx cheers along.

And so, the five huddle up into a circle. Chiro takes out the hockey puck and drops it on the ground. Antauri makes the first shot as he passes it to Gibson. However Otto caught the puck and he passes it to Sprx. Sprx makes the aim at the goal, only to be stopped by Gibson. He makes the shoot and he his goal.

Instead of high-fiving, Gibson and Antauri shake hands, knowing that they scored their first goal.

"Ha! You just got lucky!" Sprx says.

"Ok, round two!" Chiro says after grabbing the puck. After when everyone huddled in the circle, he drops the puck back on the ground.

This time, after a lot of passing and taking, Sprx and Otto made their first goal.

"Goal!" Otto cheers, holding his hockey stick up in the air with two hands. Sprx skates next to him as Otto places his hockey stick down. Unlike the other team, Sprx and Otto high five with one another.

"Alright, Team. It's the game is tied. Round three."

He drops the puck and round three begins. It was a tough round until…

Otto became too excited over the game… that he hit the hockey puck too hard. The puck flew miles away from the Team. Everyone is surprised at the shot, but disappointed that they have lost the only puck they have.

"Whoops, sorry, guys." Otto says.

Sprx sighs, "I'll get it."

Sprx skates towards to where the hockey puck landed. He skated about yards away from the Super Robot, where the game is playing. It took him several minutes to find the puck until he spotted it.

"There you are," Sprx says to himself. He skates towards the puck.

However, someone else have taken the puck.

"Hey, we were using that," Sprx says to the figure.

The figure shows herself. She's wearing a white dress and a white veil and she's completely barefoot. And—her fur is all yellow and her eyes are pink.

She's gazing at Sprx. There's so much shyness within her.

Sprx is stunned when he sees her. "Uh, hi, I believe that's—"

She quickly gives Sprx the hockey puck back. She then turns and then runs away, leaving Sprx all alone on the street.

Sprx couldn't help but to wonder something very strange about her. Suddenly—it hits him.

"Nova?"
