CH. 4

MOMO had finally left the park after her conversation with the 100-series. She was now heading back to the Elsa on the transporter. As she sat in the train, she thought about Jr. once again, hoping that he was all right. She sighed and got off at her stop. She made her way to the Elsa and went to her quarters.

"Please…come back. We still…have so much to do together…" MOMO said quietly as she sat down on her bed and eventually lie down and fell asleep.

Shion and everyone on the Durandal's Bridge were alarmed when the E.S. Asher took off once again into the anomaly in front of them. Mary and Shelley tried to make contact with whoever was piloting the craft before it went out of communication's reach. It was all ready too late as the E.S. vanished into the pink, webby substance.

"Sorry Shion, we couldn't get through to whoever it was." Mary apologized as she turned to her friend with an unpleased face. Shion didn't respond immediately.

"No…it's okay. I think I know who was piloting." Mary and Shelley turned to her in surprise. Shion only smiled at the sister's twin expression of confusion and shock. "I'm going to go to the Elsa for a little while, so just give me a call if anything important happens. Okay?" Mary and Shelley nodded. Shion turned and walked onto the elevator and went down to the Elsa. After she disappeared to the lower floor, Mary, Shelley and everyone else there stared back out the window, hoping to find any sign of hope.

Chaos had finally arrived at the huge mass of U-DO and waited for his cue. Once Nephilim appeared, he knew it was time to go in and 'rescue' Jr. He sighed as the E.S. landed on a patch of the fluffy webbing.

"I guess…I have a little while to think about things." He said as he leaned back in his seat a little bit.

Being emotionally tortured was definitely a tiring process. Jr. didn't know if he could go any further in his journey, but he knew no matter what happened, he had to protect everyone who was back on the Durandal…especially MOMO. Just the thought of the little realian gave him more courage than what had all ready been taken away by his past. He would just have to think of her and he would be fine…right?

He stood on the path and saw yet another warp hole at the end. He sighed before pacing himself into a regular walking pace.

'I just…have to make it to the end of this path. Let's hope Albedo's not here too…Shoot! I just jinxed myself…I'll be al right. I can handle anything!' Jr. thought as he continued. Amazingly, Albedo hadn't appeared as soon as he would've. Unfortunately, he did appear…right before Jr. could reach the portal.

"Don't think just because this is the last portal until you get to the real me that you can get through so easily. I still have one more thing to show you." Young Albedo smiled. Jr. scowled as the scene began to turn.

"Ah! This is…"

"So you remember then? This did only happen a year and a half ago." The room was dark and dingy. The walls were a dark grey as if they had once belonged to a dungeon and in the middle of the room was a chair that looked like a prisoner would've been held captive before being killed for a ritual.

"…This is the Song of Nephilim…where…he took MOMO's consciousness." Jr. could see Albedo sitting in that chair, basically sucking the life out of MOMO searching for the Y-Data. The picture was faint and the laugh could be heard echoing through the room along with the painful cries. He backed up and took out his guns out of reaction to the whole situation.

'Dammit! I can't let it get to me…I know she's safe!' Jr. thought as he tried to control his emotions. 'Oh, but is she really safe?' Albedo's voice rang through his head. Jr. shook his head, hoping that Albedo's voice would stop the laughing that had begun.

"Stop it!" Jr. yelled out of rage. "Get out of my head!" He demanded. Jr. let his guns drop to the floor so that he could put his hands on his head. He knelt down on the floor next to his fallen pistols.

'Yes! That's it Rubedo, become what you really are inside!' Albedo continued, hoping to release the seal of the power of the Red Dragon. Jr. wasn't about to give in so easily, but he was on the edge.

'I have to overcome it…I…have to ….' Jr. thought as he ignored the mocking laugh inside of his head. After a few minutes of dealing with his other half, Albedo decided to leave.

'Hurry up and find me. That way you can kill me and give me what I want.' Jr. looked up and saw the path of U-DO once more. He was panting out fear and rage, but managed to pick up his guns and stand up. Giving everything that he had, he ran into the last warp hole and warped to the final stage…where his other half was waiting in the presence of U-DO.

Chaos was interrupted from his thoughts when a small girl with bright orange hair appeared by the cockpit of the E.S. Asher. Chaos only smiled as the girl eventually materialized completely. She looked over at him and sighed. She disappeared and then reappeared in the cockpit with chaos.

"Is it all ready time Nephilim?" chaos asked the young girl. As she sat in the seat below him she shook her head.

"Not yet, but the time is coming. Be prepared…because this is only the beginning of things." Chaos merely responded with a nod that was not visible to Nephilim. He sighed and looked back out at the twisting paths. The plan the he and Nephilim had formed together was about to become a reality. Inside, chaos felt terrible for using Jr. like this, but what other choice did he have? Everything happened and gave him and Nephilim the opportunity to damage U-DO by having Jr. kill his other half. Albedo had been infected with the virus anyway, so it was a perfect opportunity. Yet, chaos still had his doubts about how this plan was going to turn out, knowing that one of his best friends was going to have to sacrifice his own brother, but it was for a good cause. Saving the universe was top priority right now and to do that Jr. had to be successful in his role. Taking one life was better than taking everyone's lives.

"Nephilim…How sure are you that this is going to work out?" chaos asked after the brief moment of silence.

Nephilim sighed. "I'm not sure, but there is something that keeps telling me that it'll all work out according to plans." She also felt the same way that chaos did. Of course, being related to the silver haired boy was part of it. Both being of the angelic race, they had a special connection that connected them in mind and spirit. They always thought the same way, whether it was coincidence or not.

Chaos sighed heavily and continued to stare out of the window that gave everything a tiny tint of blue. He closed his eyes as both he and Nephilim waited for this all to end and bring forth the beginning of their plan. The plan that they called Nephalium Chrystalis.
