Disclaimer: I don't own Eureka SeveN in any way. This fan fiction story will be written about what has happened after the series ends, about 2 months after the short time skip in episode 50. This also contains LOTS OF SPOILERS so don't read it if you don't want to know about the rest of the series. This is based off information from fan-subbed episodes found on which may not be what the actual show says. It's also based off my own understandings of the show, which may also be wrong. I also know that this will make a few people angry who want more of a "cute" ending as well as a story more focused on Eureka and Renton but its mostly focused on Holland, the rest of the Gekko state, the Super Izumo, Anemone/Dominic and Axel Thurston.
Chapter 1: Giving Up, Giving In
The buzz of the blank communicator of the Gekko-Go was the only sound that could possibility interrupt Holland's thoughts. He was sitting, half bent over, in the command chair, only wearing his orange underpants. He sat, one hand clenched tightly around the SOF tattoo on his arm, only six names escaped his mouth:
"Dewey Novak…Nii-San."
"Charles Beams…Bakka."
"Adrock Thurston…"
"Renton Thurston…Eureka…Thurston…comi"
A sudden bright flash from Holland's right side, from the catwalk ten feet above him, making him quickly looking up. Holland looked directly at a middle-aged man, wearing a green sweatshirt, holding a camera up to his eye. As he lowered it he began to speak in a calm voice, "That was for the cover of the next RayOut. I thought, since its been so long since the last issue, that the main article should be very important," A small script flew through the air from Stoner to Holland, who caught it in one hand before it hit the ground. He silently moved it to his lap and looking down at it, Stoner sighed, "Read it over, could you? Make sure you don't object to anything in there."
Holland nodded silently while looking strait down at the script. He finally realized the title of the article; "A Greater Hero Then His Father", Holland looked up but Stoner had already gone, leaving Holland alone in the quiet bridge again. Deciding that it would at least take his mind off the financial, political and moral problems of the Gekko State he flipped the script open to the first page.
A Greater Hero Then His Father
Written by: Observer
This issue of RayOut should first be printed just a few days after the 14 month anniversary of the event that will go down in text book as, "The New Age's Second Summer of Love." It should be described something like this, While the Second Summer of Love did no destroy all of man kind, it did kill half of the population of the world, as well as having large sections of the planet magically lifted into space and disappear.
Lies. From a last conversation with a ex-member of the Gekko-State, Gonzy, it seams as thought those people, who were mostly Vodarac and refugees from the Warusawa refuge camps, were taken away, to another place, and were not killed. Gonzy's last words aboard the Gekko-Go were, "There's no reason evolution has to stick to one path…" after that he revealed that he was another human-like Corallian according the our Leader Holland Novak and then left as mysteriously as he came aboard, which no one can seam to remember. This is what we know happened from our view aboard the Gekko-Go. Shortly after the self-instated leader of the military, Dewey Novak, committed suicide a device around the necks of the only other known human-like Corallians were activated. These devices were meant to kill the two girls when Dewey himself died. Both failed in different ways, the one attacked to the human-like Corallian that was trained as an LFO pilot of the military malfunctioned, leaving the girl alive. The other collar the was around the neck of the Gekko State member, Eureka (who was seen on the volume of RayOut entitled Pacific State) was stopped because as a Corallian she became the Command Cluster, which was the center of the planet which Colonel Dewey destroyed before killing himself. Eureka saved the world in exchange for her freedom, having to now stay inside the Command Cluster away from those she loved.
However she was alive and saved us all from the Limit of Life theory. Of course there was a problem with this, those that she loved and that loved her in return didn't want her to give this up. While it might seem selfish to the other observers in the world, this one thinks that it was the correct thing to do. The Gekko State's leader Holland Novak decided to go and attempt to save Eureka, however after embarking on this journey we realized that directly in our path were thousands of small form Corallians that proved near impossible to defeat. We decided to fight through them however and since I was always told that my safety was never guaranteed I expected as much from them. The Gekko probably killed thousands of them but didn't make a dent in their numbers, after all of our ammunition was gone the Nirvash, type zero LFO transformed into a form that had never been seen before and I, the observer, shall refer to as the Pure Form. I was unable to get a picture of the Pure Form as it moved to fast for me to keep up with and because of that I wouldn't be able to properly describe it. All I know for certain is that the pilot was son of the Great Hero Adrock Thurston; Renton Thurston.
Our little Renton who was just barely 15 years old at the time, left the Gekko without permission from leader, and went to save Eureka himself. What happened after that is very unclear to everyone. All that is known for sure is that soon after the giant tree like object that had Eureka in it was destroyed by a LFO marked as the Nirvash. Followed by the event that the textbooks will call the "New Age's Second Summer of Love." That is the event in which parts of the planet were lifted up, along with the people on those parts of the planet. After that some sort of beam hit the moon engraving Renton 3 Eureka on its surface. It also created a ring of a gold dust like substance that encircled the planet, which has yet to fall from the sky.
Since this time there was been a reorganizing of the military, and it was decided that there should be on one leader. This new military lost many of its airships to the cause of Commander Jurgens who is the leader of the Super Izumo that assisted in fighting against Dewey's attempts to destroy the planet. He has maintained friendly relations with the Gekko State but because of that is an enemy to the new military. It seams that as old enemies, like the Vodarac, disappear, that people decide that they need conflict and make new ones.
Since the appearance of the Pure Form and the Second Summer of Love the military has sent three spacecrafts out to discover what the effect on the moon was as well as what the gold dust orbiting our planet it. As soon as each ship moved through the golden dust radio contact was lost, then only moments later all contact was lost. This comes from a reliable source within the military that wishes to remain anonymous but is confirmed by the Gekko's own monitoring of the ships as each left the atmosphere. The first ship was launched just under 13 months ago and still hasn't sent any debris back down to earth. This leads us as well as ex-military scientist Dr. Bear to believe that they were not destroyed but taken to somewhere else, maybe like a black hole.
As for information on Renton and Eureka, we know next to nothing. All we know is that there is a 50 chance that they are alive and then a 50 chance that they are on this planet rather then on the other side of the golden dust, which may just be a new form of the Command Cluster. The Gekko wishes to attempt to go through the golden dust but is unable to because of personal reason of the members aboard as well as for the safety of the newly born child of Holland and Talho Novak.
Holland laid the article down, and stood up stretching his body as he did so. The article was all true, well as true as guesses and assumptions could be. But all of those parts were clearly pointed out in the article. This was the first RayOut to be published in 11 months so Holland knew that there was no way Stoner would wait to publish this article since they might not publish another volume for another few months, "I just want to have some good news be in it when people read it…that's all."
A small beep replaced the buzz of the communicator for a half second, Holland rushed over to it, knocking the article to the ground in the process. When he reached the communication panel that Gidget usually sat was had a message information bar that had popped up. Holland pressed the screen then was staring into the eyes of Commander Jurgens of the Super Izumo.
On board the Super Izumo Jurgens sat at the command chair of the bridge. There were still a number of people sitting on the bridge with him. To his right were two young girls. One had pale white skin and white blonde hair, the other had darker skin and black hair, both of their hair was cut short. As Jurgens looked at these two girls he remember the day when he asked them to come aboard the Super Izumo. It was just after their fearless, pure, perfect leader Colonel Dewey killed himself in a vain attempt to destroy the world. The blonde one, who was their unofficial leader and was called Terra had stood up, bowed to Jurgens and then sucker punched him in the side of the face saying that they would never join the ones who killed their Colonel. However after a few weeks onboard the Super Izumo with complete freedom they realized that they weren't being tricked as slowly appologized to Jurgens.
Now the commander sat facing a screen of constantally changing numbers which were readings of Trapar, windspeed, and humidity. He looked at the report in his hands. It was about that boy who had left the Gekko State over a year ago and saved the girl who he loved. However this was not a good report, someone had said they spoted the boy alone in the wilderness a week ago and the Super Izumo went to investigate, they found that it was just a lie from the Ref boarders to try and meet the Gekko State. This wasen't the first time they had received sightings of Renton Thurston or the Human-like Corallian Eureka, in fact this was the 35th in the last 14 months. It was amazing how many people had read that last issue of RayOut. It was a small volume that had unconfirmed facts that said that Renton and Eureka were probally somewhere in the wilderness and that there was an official serach party looking for them.
Jurgens almost laughed outloud but managed to hold it in. The official search party that they mentioned was Anemone and Dominic, who had decided to go on a long vacation in the north land before Anemone officially turned sixteen and then they could be legally married.
Terra quietly walked over to Jurgens, smiled and then said, "Sir, we are outside of the military's sensors. We can send a message to the Gekko-Go now."
"Very well, connect me right away." Jurgens down at the small camera and screen that would soon have Holland's face on it. On the other side of the bridge a man said into a microphone, "Gekko-Go, this is the Super Izumo requesting a direct audio and video communications channel with your ship…Right, Connecting Commander Jurgens."
On the screen Holland's face appeared as Jurgens looked into it he quickly began to ask questions, "Jurgens did you find them? Was it real this time?"
Jurgens felt pity for the man who lost everything he had tried to protect in his life, "No, I'm sorry my friend, it was just a ref boarder trying to meet you and the Gekko."
Holland sighed, "I expected as much there wasn't enough detail in the message they sent us. Too bad though-"
"Holland," Jurgens cut him off, "I know that you want to save Renton and Eureka, I know the feeling, but…well…I cannot have the Super Izumo traveling around the planet like this anymore, I have an army I need to run. There are now 28 airships under my command and I cannot be running around looking for them. You know I'd help if I wasn't being chased by the military all the time like this."
There was silence on the other end of the communication as well as in the bridge. Holland's head was hung low, as though ashamed of what he had done, "I know…Jurgens…I'd like to help you too but if…I died…no one would…"
"I know Holland," Said Jurgens, "you have a family, keep good care of them. However I do have a message for you. Its from Axel."
Holland's head quickly snapped up and was now looking directly in the screen, "From Axel Thurston? What is it?"
Jurgens' lip twitched with amusement, "He says to get back to Bellforest and visit your godchildren or he'll have to come and get you himself."
Holland grinned broadly, "Yeah, maybe I'll do that, a little off time never hurt. Gekko-Go out."
Jurgens nodded, "I'll keep in touch Holland. Super Izumo out."
