Introduction

The night falls over the city of Neo-Kadary. The People's City the ones
living there call it. It is a city much like the ones in the days of Mother
Brain. People walk to and from amongst the city and seem to have a happy
life. One such figure in particular runs down the streets quickly. Her hair
is dark, opaque lavender in color and she carries with her a bag of some
sorts. Her long slender and graceful legs lead up to perfectly formed hips
and a prefect figure. Her red armored jumpsuit clings to her as she dashes.
The city is decorated in a Christmas motive as she runs amongst the city.
She waves to those she sees as she runs while her long cat-like ears seem
to twitch with all the sounds.

"Lady Roki! Wait up!" Says a frantic voice as she turns around. A blue
haired figure runs up to her and breathes heavily. It's a young child
looking no older than 8 and dressed much finer than anyone on the surface
would be.

"Yes little one?" she echoes her soft and musical voice echoes to his ears.

"Lady Roki, Will you be at the temple later? We want to hear some more
stories of our savior..."

Lady Roki sighs and clutches a small necklace around her neck. She fingers
it and looks at the little boy.

"Yes I will! I am the High Priestess after all! And you are my people now.
I will tell you of him, so we don't forget him... My love." She sniffles
and wipes her eyes softly as she is suddenly hugged. The little boy looks
up at her and smiles.

"He'll come back! Just wait! He promised didn't he?" Roki smiles at him and
nods.

"Yes he did! Now run off, your mom is probably worried!" The little boy
nods and runs off as she sighs.

How long was it since he left them? It's been 4 years. 4 years since he
left to protect them. He was going to stop them from finding the entrance
to their home. Stop the hunters and that one renegade esper from destroying
the magic barrier leading to their world. He was going to fight! Be the
true evil. So they could beat him and be satisfied. They don't know if he
survived, but the opinion is he died. "My love." She softly whispers to the
wind. "Please, return to us someday! I know it's hard where you are. But
please." She then realizes she has to get home and runs quicker.

She arrives at a big house overlooking the city and she runs inside.
Another beautiful lady looking almost like her except with black armor and
red hair meets her at the door. "Roki! You made it back in time!" The woman
hugs her and stays hugged smiling saying the greeting in a happy way.

Roki sighs and looks to her friend. "Rika. I was asked about him again.
And, I almost cried!" She says looking at Rika with almost tears in her
eyes.

Rika hugs her and strokes her hair. "My sister, it'll be alright. Little
Zoe needs you now! You can't cry. She's having a nightmare, and Aunt Rika
she refuses to see." Roki smiles looking to Rika calmly

"You know, I am glad he rescued me from the sleeping chamber in Nurvus. And
rescued you, Rika Prototype, Because NM-2011 and you got to live instead of
being destroyed." Rika smiles and looks to Roki.

"Hurry! She needs you!" Roki nods and runs to the room.

Rika sighs and sits down. She too fingers a bracelet on her hand and begins
to think of him. And how much she misses the Evil Palman she fell in love
with. Will he ever return? She sips some coffee and then smiles to herself
in a memory.

She runs to small lavender painted room with a bed in it. A little girl
lies shaking covered by black sheets and animals. Her room is a little
girl's room with stuffed animals and posters of kittens and pictures
painted of her father.

"No. No. Get away!" Cries out the small little girl on the bed. Looking
only apparently age 4, she cries out shaking apparently having a nightmare.

Roki runs over and picks her up in her arms. "Shh, Little Zoe, it's
alright, Mommy is here!" Little Zoe's screams turn into a small whimper and
she opens her eyes.

She blinks and hugs Roki tightly. "Mommy! You're here!" She says and kisses
her mommy's cheek.

Roki looks down at her daughter and smiles. "Little Zoe, what dream were
you having?"

Zoe looks up at Roki and sighs. "It was about my Daddy. 5 people were
attacking him, and they nullified his power so he was being hurt. They were
calling him evil names and killing him! I couldn't help! I couldn't help my
daddy!" She says sadly as she clings.

Roki looks at little Zoe and strokes her hair. Little Zoe was her daughter
and the only thing to remember him by. The one treasure she treasures above
everything else. Her black hair reminds her so much of her love.

She strokes her hair and whispers. "Shh, it was just a nightmare. Daddy is
fine. He'll come back. Want me to read you a story?"

"Mommy, Please tell me some more of my daddy."

The mother sighs and strokes her daughter's cheek. "Zoe, you know it pains
me to speak of him!"

The little girl looks back at her mother and smiles. "Please? I wanna hear
about Daddy! I love hearing about my daddy. I wanna be like him!"

The mother smiles and opens a small book, one of the things she treasures
above everything. She begins to read to the little black haired girl. The
little girl smiles and cuddles to her mom listening intently to the story.
The mother looks down at the child. "Little Zoe, I am going to tell you
about the things he did in his church for his people."

The little girl grins. "Like the church we have here mommy?"

The woman shakes her head yes and smiles. "Your father was a great man and
this journal is all that remains... Here little Zoe, let me read." She
begins to read...
