Finally, we end here the story!

And not in a happy way...

Cue: In the Castle (Lufia II)

"So. You won, huh?" said Parsifal, walking in the workshop. Arthur wiped the sweat and finished fastening the bullet on Galahad's side. "A loss it was. He was simply too overwhelming. Man, i need a shower." he said. "Galahad, please bring a message to Sir Zedus. Tell him we aren't bragging about that win and we eagerly expect news about that Zenia."

"Will be done, Master." stated the robot, feeling his limbs. "What is this? I feel something... Unusual."

"I upgraded your scanning systems. You can now feel with your exoskeleton, much like a human's skin." replied the King. "I hope you'll be much more efficient with this system."

"I am grateful for that, Master." said Galahad. "Sir Parsifal. I hope you are well."

"Surely i am!" he bragged. "Don't worry for me! I will be alllllll fine." He turned to Arthur. "You have a meeting with Lady Viviane this evening. She asked me to give you this." He gave the King a chip. "It's a limitation chip. Put it on Excalibur, it will contrast the short circuit it had in unleashing Tera Flare."

That done, he exited, leaving Arthur and Galahad alone. The robot stiffened, then two rockets appeared from its back. "Master, open the roof, please."

"Done." replied Arthur, pressing a button and letting the sunlight in. "Godspeed, Galahad."

The robot nodded. "Godspeed, Master." That said, he activated the rockets and flew away.

Cue: Together, we Ride! (FE12: Heroes of Light and Shadow)

Scanning with his radar, Galahad noticed a group of ravens homing on his location. He modified his route to evade them, but they followed him. "They may be hostile... I will use my missiles if they get too close. Weapon System activated." He took out his rocket launcher, and further scanned the area. No immediate threats were found. I must be just tired. Wait, what? I am a robot, i can't get tired! And why my CPU is generating those disorganized thoughts? I must have a bug. His radar bleeped, signalling a hostile presence homing to him. Hm?

-SMAAAAASH!-

"Now, give me your secrets!" ordered Gazia, trying to rip Galahad's head off. "I'll use you to upgrade my techs! How did Viviane manage to make an armor this sturdy?!"

"REQUEST CANNOT BE PROCESSED!" replied the robot, shooting him in the side. Reactivating his rockets, Galahad went at full speed ahead, but noticed that Gazia was still faster. He then instantly activated the brakes, making Gazia surpass him, and then shooted the missiles straight at him. When the smoke dissolved, Galahad noticed that Gazia wasn't even fazed. "You thought i would be injured by that? Stupid robot, i'l send you to HELL! GENESIS: UNIVERSAL COLLIDE!"

"NO! Void Trigger: Stygian Cipher!"

Gazia was slashed at lightspeed, a big wound opening on his body. He hissed, clutching it and widening his eyes at the sight of his blood. "GAH! Y-you won this time! But the next... The next... You'll fall... And you'll be MINE!"

Then, the Mad Heretic disappeared and Zenia appeared, hovering in front of Galahad. "How do you fare, Galahad?" she asked. "Why are you here? Zenia thought he was after some animals to experiment on."

"I was tasked to give a message to Lord Zedus but i guess you'll do too." he replied, making her tilt her head. "Message? Why won't we deliver it together then...?"

"Error. Rockets temperature too high." replied the robot, gradually losing height. "That chase earlier must have overheated them. Landing procedure initiated."

"Zenia will help you get to Athen Sphere!" she said, smiling. "We are in a desert but you'll feel almost nothing."

"Actually, my systems are getting so damn HOT. Why must it be this hot in the desert?" complained Galahad, landing. "Guess Master Viviane didn't install a cooling system. Well. Let's go."

Cue: Footsteps of Fate (FE12: Heroes of Light and Shadow)

Walking in the scorching heat of the desert, the two saw a city far away. "Hmm? I scan no life forms in that city."

"This is the desert of Marmaroth, the Land of Death. You probably saw some high mountains getting here, right?" said Zenia. "This desert is nestled between that ring of mountains, making it impossible to reach-or escape. Bands of brigands roam this land... Zenia wouldn't be surprised if all the inhabitants were dead."

Walking up to the gate, Galahad activated his rocket launcher. "Stand back, Zenia. Attack Barrage Sequence!" With his might, the gate fell down in pieces and they entered.

Bones littered the street, with some rats escaping here and there. Zenia looked away. "They are all dead..." A tear fell from her face, which she wiped away. "All dead... Zenia feels sorry for them..."

"My scanning confirms that every single skeleton here is damaged by fire. They were burned alive." said Galahad. "I feel... Sadness. And i hope that Neo Avalon never ends up like this..."

"Athen Sphere neither..." added Zenia. "Ultor and the others helped Zenia... Made her feel... And now, Zenia wants to help them back."

"Hm? I got a message from Master Arthur." muttered the robot. "What? Neo Avalon was WHAT?!" He looked at Zenia. "I must immediately go back! Neo Avalon is in grave danger!"

"What happened? Zenia will come with you!" she said, bolting after him.

-At Neo Avalon-

Cue: Forlorn Princess (FE12: Heroes of Light and Shadow)

"Z-Zenia can't believe it..."

Mechanical parts and bodies were scattered everywhere. Neo Avalon was on fire, the castle crumbling under their very eyes. Galahad's eyes turned yellow. "MASTER ARTHUR! WHERE ARE YOU?!" He scanned the surroundings a bit, then headed for the central square. There, they saw three figures. One, sprawling on the floor with a hole in his chest, was clad in a metal armor, clutching a plasma lance. He had long purple hairs and a mask in his other hand. "Sir Knight..." said Galahad. He looked at the other two, then his eyes went white. "Master Viviane! Master Arthur!"

The woman was clutching the lifeless body of the King, crying silently. "G-Galahad. You came too late." She looked at him. "You failed Arthur... You failed me... You failed everyone..." The robot lowered his head. "I was delivering a message for Master Arthur, i would never calculate that Knight would kill him..."

"His name is Mordred." said Viviane. "Mordred Pendragon. He wasn't so dead as he was believed. We took him as one of us... Shared happiness and laughter with him... Why he would do something such as this? Why...?" She lowered her head again, tightly holding Arthur. "I built his robots, because he told me they were meant for defending Neo Avalon from Gazia... How could i be so stupid...?"

"Viviane... Zenia doesn't know what to say, but... She feels sorry as well..." said her, looking at the dead Mordred. "Where are the citizen?"

"Scattered and fleeing. Without a home, they will soon fall prey to the Desert of Marmaroth..." whispered Viviane. "I just hope our technology won't fall into the wrong hands... Besides..." Her eyes covered, she chuckled. "It's time to use the Technique."

"Master Viviane, no!" said Galahad. "Not on Master Arthur!"

"I have to!" she replied, her eyes red from crying. "I can't live without him... I cannot! Augh..." A blade was sporting from her chest, her white dress slowly staining red with blood. Zenia withdrew the blade, closing her own eyes. "Zenia hopes you will understand... Master Viviane. She doesn't want others to be subjected to this fate... Least of all, Lord Arthur."

"Heh... I would not be different than Gazia if i'd do it..." rasped Viviane. "Thanks, Zenia... But this way... All of Neo Avalon's technology will be lost... Never to be seen again... You are the last, Galahad..."

"The last..." he said, his eyes turning green. "Master Viviane... I feel... Happy... To have met you... I feel gratitude..."

"Don't worry for me, Galahad... I am a mortal, i was meant to die... Take care of what remains of the Excalibur for me..." she whispered, her eyes starting to lose their light. "Ar... thur... Finally... We'll be... To... ge... ther..."

Closing her eyes, Zenia shed another tear. "Why did it have to end like this?"

"The last technnology of Neo Avalon..." said Galahad. "This land... This land will be soon forgotten. I wonder where i can go to be forgotten for all eternity too."

"We can return to Athen Sphere... There, we can help the others to defend innocents from Gazia... And from this fate as well..."

"I guess that's an idea." Galahad walked away, followed by Zenia. He looked back at Arthur one last time. "Farewell... Father..." He then looked at Viviane. "Farewell... Mother..." He picked up the pieces of Excalibur, then activated his rockets. "Farewell... My homeland."

So ends Neo Avalon's story... But Athen Sphere's still continues... And i feel that Zenia and Galahad will have a story about their adventures... After all, they are in the Bad Lands...
