HEY GUYS!
After writing days, I was confident enough to write more on Eureka 7. So here it is what has been running in my head.
Before we begin, I would like to tell you that I am writing this story with much understanding I had of this series as possible and to give a better ending to Ao.

In an empty void called space, a metal body was floating. His name was truth. Inside a boy was in his unconscious state. Returning from his unconscious state, he slowly opened his eyes. Right in front of him, there was a big hole in the space. And on the other side of that hole, there was a marvelous view of the moon with a big heart and his parents name etched on it. In front of that moon, there a white body floating in the space. Beside that moon, there was earth with a beautiful ring of colorful dust.
"What is this? This is so embarrassing. These are my parents?" The boys said. "But whoever they are, I am glad. They are finally home."
With these words, the boy closed his eyes and the metal body faded away.
The street was very busy. There were people running here and there. The children were jumping around all over the place. On the side of the street, there was a small tea stall. In front of the tea shop, a boy probably in his mid-teens was drinking his tea in peace. His hair was turquois blue and a strange board lay beside him.
"Excuse me, may I have some tea." He heard a voice.
Then a body sat beside him. The boy did not care to turn around.
"Cold day isn't it?" The person asked.
The boy finished drinking his tea and settled the cup down on the counter.
"Yes, a very nice weather for a tea." The boy said. "It makes your body very warm."
"Uhm! Excuse me, have we met somewhere?" The person asked. "It's strange, but I think we know each other."
The boy then raised his head up and looked at the person. He then gave a wide smile.
"Maybe, we just passed by in someplace." The boy said.
"Oh! Sorry about that. Are you from any school? Cause the clothes you wear… That is one strange uniform." The person said.
"Maybe cause you don't see these types of clothes very often." The boy said.
"Oh! I see. Anyways, my name is Naru." The person introduced herself. "What is yours?"
"Ao, Ao Fukai." The boy said.
"That's a nice name." The girl named Naru said.
The girl's attention was then caught by the board the boy named Ao had.
"Is that yours?" Naru asked.
"Huh! Oh Yeah! It is." Ao said.
"What is it?" Naru asked.
"It's… just a showpiece." Ao said.
"Oh! It's so strange looking that's why I asked." Naru said.
"I know it is strange, but it is the only thing left from my parents." Ao said.
"Oh! I…I… I'm sorry. I never realized that." Naru said.
"It's okay. I'm all over that now." Ao said.
"Hey! NARU" Suddenly a voice spoke up.
Both of the bodies turned around and found a woman waving at them.
"Oh! I should go now. It was nice meeting you." Naru said.
With these words, she ran off. Ao couldn't help but smile. He couldn't believe, that erasing himself from the world would have this much difference. After all, the last time he heard about Naru, she was hospitalized in an isolation unit because she was a Coral Carrier and they were hit by some strange disease.
"I hope you are happy… Naru." Ao said.
With these words, he stood up, picked up his board and moved through the crowd. At that moment, he realized that this was the world which used to treat him very badly. But now, he didn't care about all that because nobody remembers him anymore.
He erased himself from the world just so that his parents and everybody around him would have a happy life. At the time, he was fed up of the world suffering.
Now, his parents were in their world. Naru was no longer in a hospital, scubs didn't even exist in that world and the secrets were erased. This was the world he fought to protect because this is where he grew up. This was his home.
It had been two years since he used the quartz gun and erased himself from the whole world. After that, he and his IFO called the Truth, who once used to be a secret, travelled through different with him. There was a reason behind why he did that as well.
But since he had erased himself from the world, he wondered, what was he going to do now? Nobody remembers him.
Soon Ao who moved away from the crowd and then he moved into a more deserted area of the city. He never liked being among the crowd ever since that very first incident with the secret two years ago, the time when the bracelet his mother gave him activated the version of Nirvash she used and he used it to destroy the secret.
At that moment, Ao looked up to the moon which was shining very brightly. With a deep sigh, he settled down under a tree that was nearby and gazed at it.
"Heh! I can't believe, this was the very moon where mom and dad's names were written on. Now that I have sent them back, what am I going to do now? Naru doesn't know me, grandpa never saw my mom and Fleur and others from Bleu… they are perhaps not even here in Okinawa or even in Japan And I even said goodbye to Truth. Now I am all on my own now and I cannot even stay here for longer." Ao said.
There was a reason, why he chose to travel different time planes. When he decided that, there was a little discussion between truth and him. He told him at that time that he wanted to travel and he was curious. But the reality was something else and even truth didn't realize that.
At that moment, a memory from his recent past began barging into his head.
Ao was sitting in some open ground. He was looking at the sky all content that he finally freed their parents from their shackles.
"AO!" The voice said.
"Huh! Who's there?" Ao said as he immediately stood up and turned around in panic.
But there was nobody. The area was totally deserted and there was no on in sight.
"What the…" Ao said.
Then suddenly pain began coursing through his body. He never had this odd sensation. It was like something was burning inside him.
What was this sensation? Why was it happening? What did he do?
In amidst the pain, he raised his head. His eyes grew wide with what he was seeing. Soon the whole world around him began disassembling piece by piece.
Soon there was nothing other than a black void.
"What is happening?" Ao said.
Suddenly, a small light appeared right in front of him. Soon, it grew brighter and brighter and in the middle a black shadow figure appeared.
"Who are you?" Ao asked.
"Ao, you have made a grave mistake." The figure said.
"Huh! What do you mean?" Ao asked.
"You erased your origin of existence, Ao. You used the quartz gun and you erased yourself." The voice said.
"Why do you care? That was MY choice. IT's none of your concern." Ao said.
"It's your choice. But do you think that it doesn't come with consequences? Life is not easy as that where you just fire a gun and everything becomes okay all over again." The voice said.
"I knew the consequences and I still chose to do it. I knew that Ao Fukai would never even exist in any time plane and that nobody would remember him." Ao said.
"But did you look with a bit more broader vision?" The voice asked.
"Huh! What do you mean?" Ao asked.
"You erased your origin of existence. That means you are not allowed to exist in any time plane for very long or else you will fade away with time." The voice said.
Ao stood quiet. He had nothing to say at that moment.
"Come with me and I will make everything ease your pain." The voice said.
"You said, I can't stay in one time plane for a long time right?" Ao asked.
"Where are you trying to get to?" The voice asked.
"I see, then fine. I will keep on travelling. I WILL live for no matter what. I will travel different time planes until the day I die." Ao said.
"FINE THEN!" The voice said.
Suddenly, the pain returned to Ao's body. He dropped down and began thrashing left and right in pain.
"BE A FOOL LIKE YOU ALWAYS HAVE BEEN. YOU THINK YOU HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE BY TAKING THE EASY ROUTE? THINK AGAIN AO, YOU HAVE MADE NO DIFFERENCE. EVERYTHING YOU DID WAS NOTHING BUT A WASTE. YOU DIDN'T CHANGE ANYBODY'S LIFE." The voice said.
With these words, the light faded away and everything became dark again.
Ao was still thrashing in pain. Soon, his hands began glowing green then moments later, they began disintegrating into dust. At that moment, Ao just panicked until he gave a very loud scream.
After that, he woke up with a very loud gasp. Ao looked around to find the world still in one piece.
Thinking that it was probably a dream, he gave a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, he was wrongly mistaken. Ao for the moment gazed at his hands. His skin was glowing green. Everything whatever happened, was not a dream. It was real.
That was the memory that Ao remembered as he looked at the sky. At that moment, he saw a shooting star fall down from the sky. He remembered people making wishes from it. But he didn't care about all that. He was non-existent in any world. No matter where he went, there would be no place for him to stop. Not wanting to stay there any longer, Ao stood up and began walking in the random direction. He just wanted to explore the land before he is sent off to another world again.
However, he never realized that the shooting star he just saw would change his life for good. Just as he thought the star was just a star, at that moment Ao realized that something was wrong for the star was just too large.
He looked once again when the star landed down to the sea. Then a big streak of light ripped through the darkness. Then suddenly all of the street lamp exploded. Then everything was pitch black.
Ao was shocked. Something crashed on the sea. What was it? Was it a star?
With all the curiosity in his mind, Ao ran towards the direction where the star had fallen down to the ground.
