Chapter 2: Home sweet home?

"Anemone let's go back to Tresor" Dominic said as he got up. It was 6 months since they visited the peek where they saw the moon at its full glory. Anemone didn't move and he moved closer to her and a fist appeared and landed on his face.

"Damn alarm clock…" he heard Anemone say. Dominic put both his hands on his nose.

"Ow…" he said. Anemone finally opened her eyes and saw Dominic on the floor and his nose was bleeding.

"What happened?" Anemone asked as she laughed a bit.

"Did you normally punch your alarm clocks?" he asked.

"Only if I don't want to wake up…" Anemone said childishly. They were sleeping in a hotel room and they spent most of the night playing video games. They were on vacation and now they had to return to Tresor, Anemone was the new test pilot for KLFs and Dominic was the second Lieutenant. They were scheduled to return and they packed up and set off to Tresor. They were in a small flyer at the command tower; they took off and took about 2 hours to reach Tresor where Morita greeted them.

"Have fun on your vacation?" Morita asked.

"It was lovely" Anemone said holding Dominic's hand.

"Well, we have something special for you today, we finished the Meduke project" he said leaning to Dominic.

"Anemone you get to try out seven new ones" he said.

"But aren't they the same" she said.

"They're all new prototypes each one is different and have different designs" he said looking at his papers. Before they took a look at the new project they needed to check up on the Gekko-Go, it was here on a visit while they searched for Renton and Eureka.

"Hey, Holland!" Dominic yelled as he ran to the tall grey haired man.

"Oh, hey yourself Dominic" Holland replied.

"What happened now?" he said looking at the damages to the Gekko-Go.

"Peace treaty or not they still don't like us…" Holland said in disappointment.

"Did you find any trace of them?" Anemone asked from behind.

"Sorry, they disappeared without a trace" Holland replied.

"I'm sure that they'll be back though" Anemone said looking a bit happier.

"I hope that Renton is taking good care of Eureka" Holland said mockingly.

"Anyway, we have to get back to work" Dominic said.

"I get to try out seven new LFOs today" Anemone said happily.

"You better hurry before they find someone else to test them" Dominic said jokingly.

"If they do I'll give'em a good one in the face" she said laughing. Anemone loved to try out new LFOs now and what everyone was happy about was that she understand them so they she wouldn't push them past their limits. She said that some of them remind her of theEND; a friend that ended its life protecting them. Anemone's only friend was theEND before and now thanks to Dominic she finally got other people that was nice to her in life. She entered the familiar hanger that always held the new LFOs she would try out, but this time there was seven of them. She looked at each one and Morita explained the name of each one. The first one was white and blue, the chest had head lights and it had a vehicle mode. The ref boards would be displayed next to it and Anemone looked at the head of it, it had a proud look; the eyes were green and it had a hat like cover and a huge blade was on the top part of the head.

"This is the TB 101 Exiellenia type3EX, she's a good model; her abilities are lasers that are built into her arms, they are homing lasers. She also has two boomerang blades on her back on top of that this is the fastest of all seven of them" Morita explained. Anemone walked to the next one.

"This one is the TB 202 Ariel type52K, this one has claws and a cord just like theEND and she can also break the cord to the claws. If the energy meter is in the green area then you can use the special ability of this one, the ref board turns into a sword" he said as he took out a picture. It showed the green board and how it splits into a long sword. The LFO was painted blue and red with a green board and had a jet mode but she looked back at the Exiellenia one and needed to know.

"Can the Exiellenia transform into a jet too?" Anemone asked.

"Yeah… but its untested so was can't be sure if the jet mode works" he said.

"Why is that, aren't you sure of the design" Anemone knew Tresor normally was sure of their LFOs.

"Well this one we had some trouble with, for one the jet mode seems to be a bit unstable but other then that everything else is fine" Morita said.

"Now moving on, this is the TB 303 Devilfish typeChaos" he said. The LFO was painted white and black, though the name was scary nothing about it was. The LFO looked funny and happy, the board was painted black with some white and it had some blue on the bottom. Anemone looked down the line and saw that the other LFOs had jet modes too. Tresor was using the TA 101 Nirvash typeZERO's new designs for these new ones.

"And this one has two blades located near the leg, when you need you could put the blades together and they form a larger blade; it can be longer or wider or even thicker" Morita said as he moved to the fourth LFO a huge explosion was heard, Five KLF units came in a started attacking; they were after the LFOs but because they had a safety lock on them, they couldn't take them. These people had a back up plan, they placed bombs on the first LFO on the far end and Anemone watched at the poor child was blown up. Some had to be done, she got into the third one from her side and took it out then turned and threw a boomerang blade (all LFOs they made has this) at the intruder's KLF, quickly turning Anemone took out the blades from the legs. She placed the two ends together and she took that and threw it. The sword that she threw had a small rocket engine and it flew on the trappar and returned to her. She looked at the other weapon systems and found that Morita only mentioned the new types of weapons and not the older ones. She pressed a button and typeChaos's arm opened and a large cannon appeared; it sucked in energy and fired.

"Where's Dominic, he might be in danger" Anemone said. The KLF units were closing in and Dominic was in trouble, not only were the attackers everywhere they were experts and it seems like they were SOF agents. He ran to the hanger where he found five LFOs still there, he ran but one of the attackers opened the roof and a large ship came up. They were about to take the LFOs. Just as he unlocked the Exiellenia's lock two people ran towards it and jumped inside. One of them wore a long coat and had a hat and scarf, the other wore a black jacket and wore sun glasses; the person also wore a hat. They jumped inside the LFO and the next thing Dominic saw was it took off and started disabling the KLF units. Something about that fighting style felt familiar, Anemone landed beside him and looked up to the Exiellenia. It was fighting at an amazing rate and nothing seemed to stop it, unable to win the attackers started bombing the other LFOs. They took the Ariel LFO.

"These poor children" Anemone said dropping to her knees. The LFOs were mostly destroyed and the archetypes were breached and cut. The glow from them vanished. They looked to the Exiellenia which by now had run out of power and landed. They saw the two people jump out and made a run for it, Dominic and Anemone ran after them but they managed to get away. They wanted to thank them.

"Who were they… could they be…no…" Dominic said.

"If they were Eureka and Renton they wouldn't be hiding like that" Dominic concluded.

"At least they saved this child and stop them from getting the others" Anemone said.

"If they did get their hands on those other ones then we might have some trouble, they did get one though" he said. The two masked people ran and ran until they reached the forested area. They looked back to check if anyone had followed them, they checked carefully and took off their scarves and long coats.

"Eureka, are you alright?" Renton asked.

"A little warm, but I'm fine" Eureka said; they both laughed at that joke.

"You think we should go back…" she asked.

"Eureka… If we go back, we'll have to fight; and… I'll fight if we have to" Renton said trying to calm down Eureka.

"Let's wait… until this war is over…" Eureka said.

"If we borrow a ship we might be able to get to Bellforest" Renton concluded. He didn't want anyone to know he and Eureka were back, everyone would tell them to fight again; he and Eureka were afraid of fighting now so they tried to stay out of people they knew.

"Dominic and Anemone seem to get be getting along nicely" Renton said.

"It's nice to see them again, but we never got a chance to say hi" Eureka said with a hint of guilt.

"We'll come back when the time is right" Renton said. When Renton was in the city near by, he bought a few coats and hats to hide Eureka's wings and their faces. He figured that the world was probably still not ready for Eureka's wings, so he kept them hidden for now. He still hated hiding Eureka's beautiful wings but it was needed, if they didn't then they might get attention and that could lead to other troubles. They needed to get back to Tresor and steal a small flyer, but they didn't feel right about this. Soon they decided to take a flight from the nearest town; they had just enough money to buy two plane tickets to Bellforest. Eureka and Renton looked out the window and saw Tresor and the damages done to it. They felt bad but soon they saw the Gekko-Go taking flight.

"You think we can ever come back at this rate…" Renton whispered to Eureka.

"If it doesn't end then we'll have to fight" Eureka said with her head down. It was strange; two guys in long coats and hats whispering everybody took a small look at them. They stayed quiet for the reminder of the flight, and that was about 5 hours. They arrived at Bellforest, the plane landed on the tower that watched over the small quiet town. Renton and Eureka got off and walked to the elevator that would bring them down to street level.

"I guess we can take off the hats for now" Renton said smiling.

"Your hair's funny" Eureka laughed at Renton's hair which was messed from being in the hat too long. He used his hand to comb his hair a bit and they walked together outside to the streets of Bellforest.

"Hey grandpa can I get a picture of you and that ref board" Maurice said aiming his camera toward Axel.

"Sure, remember make me look a few years younger" Axel said, this made Maurice chuckle a bit.

"If that's even possible" he laughed. Maurice liked Axel a lot, he was a good adult to look up to; but maybe not so for Renton who Axel promised to work him hard. Maurice got used to the idea of calling Renton "papa" when he came home. He wanted to call him that because he was someone he could look up to now, he remembered during their time on earth he had given up hope and Eureka was upset. But Renton made her happy again and gave them hope that they could make it through, Renton was someone who could connect with everyone and seem to make everyone better. Maurice was getting good at taking photos and with tips and training from Stoner he learned to take many great pictures. Maurice however, would spend sometime in mechanics and help Axel with a few things even though he would yell and say he got the wrong tool. He went to his room which he shared with Maeter and Linck; he began thinking about his papa and mama.

"Holland said one year ago papa saved mama… but it's been one year and 6 months since then" he thought. He thought more about it and began thinking that Renton had given him a surname, something that not even Eureka had before. The thing about this surname is when it was mentioned around anyone they would think about Renton or Adrock, but mostly Renton who was deemed the hero of the world by Jurgens and Holland. The whole world accepted this too because he stopped the world from clasping and killing everyone. Looking at the cover of RayOut he saw the picture of when Renton was with Eureka on the long board. This was the picture that made everyone believe that humans and coralians could live together, it was the picture that showed it was possible and it was happening too. Maurice would love to say in his mind "This is my papa!" but he could never bring himself to say it out loud. With the second summer of love, the trappar lines or Ray lines shifted and Bellforest now got great waves. But because this town wasn't really big on reffing, no one was around to ref with and he would look stupid doing it alone. Maeter and Linck just came back to the room and they were playing with a toy that Axel made.

"Hey Maurice you want to play with us" they said from under him. He had the top bunk and he was always up there when he thought about things. He took out a small headset and placed it on his head and started listening to the music, something that Mathieu had left him with. He enjoyed the music that the Gekko State listened to and he was proud to go to Renton's school and say he was a member of the Gekko State. His life took a huge leap when he was given Renton's surname, not only could he have other friends besides just Maeter and Linck he could brag to them about everything cool that happened. Unlike Renton, he paid attention in class so his grades were a lot better then Renton's and on top of that Renton was embarrassed about his father but he was proud of what Renton did and he had proof, pictures and even pieces from the Nirvash. When the Nirvash changed again the archetype took a full form and busted out of the armor entirely so there were pieces everywhere for him to take. He took a piece for the head of Nirvash, he treasured it because it represented that the Nirvash even existed. The more he thought about it the more he thought how good life was for him now, but he thought it was worth it because he had suffered too. He nearly fell to the ground when he heard a door bell. He heard Axel's voice.

"Can you get that?!" Axel yelled from a far distance.

"Okay!" Maurice replied. Maeter and Linck followed because they love to see who would ring Axel's door bell, the only time you ever see that is when it was a customer or Holland. But when he opened the door he froze up and stood there, Maeter and Linck stood there too. Time stood still until Axel's voice broke the silence.

"Who is it?!" he yelled from the garage. Maurice couldn't speak. When Axel came from the back door he dropped the oiled screw driver and slowly walked up to door.

"We're home…" Renton said.

"Hi Maurice, Maeter and Linck" Eureka said smiling and waiting for them to run to her. They did just that and she embraced them but they still couldn't understand why they wore such warm clothes when the weather was so hot.

"Grandpa?" Renton asked. Axel started to recover from the shock of him standing there in front of him.

"Renton? Are you really back?" Axel asked. He was still in shock but he rubbed his eyes a few times and would touch Maurice on the shoulder.

"Yeah, and Eureka is with me too" he said moving a bit over to show Axel.

"Hello mister Thurston" Eureka said looking up to him.

"Uh…you don't have to call me that, just grandpa or Axel would do" Axel said. They both went into the house and Renton looked around and remembered his old house or rather room was destroyed when Eureka crashed Nirvash into it. When you first enter the house there was stairs that led to the upstairs and then to the left of it was a hall to the kitchen and then the backyard. He took off the heavy and sweaty coat that he used to hide his identity and when Eureka took off her's her wings popped up and Eureka felt relieved that she could move the wings again. Axel looked with surprise when he saw the wings but Renton didn't seem to notice them, Axel knew Renton got used to them.

"Here you go papa" Maurice said handing him a glass of water.

"Papa?" Renton asked in confusion.

"Grandpa, can you show him?" Maurice turned to Axel. He nodded and took out a small piece of paper from a drawer and gave it to Renton. Renton and Eureka took a look at it and looked at each other.

"Grandpa…we didn't …" he didn't know what to say.

"Holland took the liberty" Axel said taking the piece of paper back.

"So Eureka and I are married and have three fully adopted kids?" Renton asked in amazement.

"Yup" was the answer Axel gave them. Renton looked at Eureka again and they held hands.

"But Grandpa… Can you keep me and Eureka coming back a secret?" Renton asked.

"Why?" Axel asked confused.

"We-we have our reasons…" Eureka answered for Renton.

"Well, it's good that you're back" Axel said. After their talk Axel got Renton to help him with the work in the garage. By dinner time Eureka had made some hotdogs, pizza and orange juice, when Axel took a bite he was surprised at how good it was.

"Wow, this is quite good" Axel complemented.

"Thanks…" Eureka replied. Maeter and Linck were tearing apart the food already and Maurice was just there thinking.

"Maurice, if you don't eat now Maeter and Linck will take everything" Renton said as he took a zip of juice.

"Oh…Sorry, I was just thinking" Maurice said as Renton broke his thought.

"So… which schools are you enlisted in?" Eureka asked.

"I'm going to Renton's school. Or at least what Grandpa told me" Maurice answered. Renton nearly choked on his drink when he heard this.

"So everyone knows…" he asked recovering from the shock.

"Yeah…They all say you're so cool and they all wanted to see you again" Maurice said almost mockingly.

"Really…" Renton replied in disbelief.

"So how are your grades?" Eureka asked Maeter and Linck who were still tearing apart the food.

"Okay" they said with food in their mouths.

"And you Maurice?" Renton turned to Maurice.

"I have an average of about 79 right now" he replied.

"That's a lot better then me…" he said looking disappointed. They spent most of dinner talking about the year and a half that they were way, but when Axel asked them what they did Renton and Eureka made up that they were exploring around earth. After they finished eating and cleaned up the dished Renton and Eureka asked where they were going to sleep for the night. Axel had expected Renton to come back so he had an extra room built just for them. They went upstairs and Axel opened the room, there were two beds placed closely together.

"Here's where you sleep" Axel said as he got to his own room.

"Thanks Grandpa" Renton said as he left the room.

"Which side do you want?" Renton asked looking at her.

"Hm… I guess I like the left side (When you first enter the room's left)" Eureka said still thinking. They got ready for bed; Eureka realized they didn't have anything to change into and Maeter's clothes were too small for her. Renton didn't have anything either, his old room with all his clothes was crushed and burned. Renton solved this problem by "borrowing" some of Axel's stuff but even though it was itchy and smelled like and old lamp they still managed to fall asleep in them.

To be continued…
