A/N: Well, I'm back. whoo-pee...I've gotta say, ya'll the toughest crowd to please yet. Ya'll giving me the silent treatment here. It's a bit unnerving.
From now on, I will be responding personally to reviews in the author's notes. Here are the ones I've gotten so far for the last chapter.
From Noble787: Great story so far can't wait for next update. I look forward for more interactions with bete, echo, death, Life and the harpies. Also I like it how you've made it that Lucas becomes a symbol of synapse like master chief or any heror. I've got a few questions too.
:You're wait is over. For the next few chapters, it will be kinda boring cuz it's mainly character development and exploring Synapse. I sweltered with pride when my character was compared to Master Chief. That's like the highest honor I can think of, AND THIS IS ONLY THE SIXTH CHAPTER!
1. Will Lucas loose himself as a human when the power gets to his head (example start thinking of humans as nothing but pest to him?)
:Yes and no. He will not completely lose himself. He will always remember his time as a human, but seeing as his newer life is so much better, he will attempt to forget/replace those memories with better, newer ones in Synapse. As for the power getting to his head, as the now contradictory saying goes, "he's only human." He won't lose himself to the power, but he will make some mistakes. After all, he's a 19yr old with super-advanced angeloid technology and oober-powerful weapons, of course things will be crazy.
2. Will Lucas turn on Synapse say after a shattering event that changes his views?
:I have no intentions on making him turning his back on Synapse in the forseeable future, which is pretty far at the moment. The option for him to revolt has crossed my mind and I have thought about it, but unsurprisingly for me, my imagination went out of control with ideas about world wars and revolutions and space battles and etc., so I stopped thinking about it.
3. Will the harpys be more involved with Lucas and will he help them chase Sugata around Synapse that would be one funny scene if he always gets away?
:Yes, the three will get to know each other well. I didn't want to give any big spoilers, but if not on a mission, he will be assigned to help the Harpies capture Sugata. I have considered them eligible for the harem.
4. Will Sugato infaltrate and get away with information?
:Yes, BUT I will not make it a walk in the park for him. He will have his good days and his off days.
5. Will The master of synaps betray Lucas at a latter date?
:I do not plan on Reikoku/Master of Synapse betraying Lucas at any point, but there will be a few things that will cause the two to butt heads with. They will develop an informal attitude/friendship that, while Omega/Lucas will follow Reikoku's orders if authorized by his actual Master, Solara, you can still expect them to literally butt heads on sometimes controversial matters.
No answers are needed if you don't want to give information. So yea keep it up this is probaly the best sora no otamshi story so far. And yes Im not a good speller."
:It's alright. Thank you for your support and be sure to spread the word to any Sora no Otoshimono fans out there. This story will definitely be the largest fic for this anime/manga. Expect atleast twenty to thirty chapters, MINIMUM.
Wingman48: Awesome story man you'v got a talent here. I was on the edge of my seat in the fighting scene the whole time. It was also good of you to have shown another side of synapse and the other charcters of the manga. Very funny at the end could'nt stop laughing. Keep it up man you've done one hell of a job.
:Thank you, Wingman48. I'm glad I was able to be somewhat funny at the end, especially since it's usually not my cup of tea. And thanks for the compliment on the battle scene. The weird part is that the battle scene was like 8000words, the majority of the chapter, yet the part that took the longest were the post fight scenes. I hope you continue reading and reviewing. I love to hear all ya'lls' thoughts.
Wingman48's second review: Hey Im just wondering are angeloids organic machines and will they have female temptations. I mean put Lucas near a few for a while and see what happens. I nkow between life, death, echo, bete and harpies there will be bitch fights which would make a good comedy section of your story. Like all herems they will fight for the main character etc Lucas. Also can you give a back story to Synaps you said in the testing of Lucas against the drones that there were ruins can you give a background for your story. You can make it up it's always good to nkow the characters and the enviourments history. Also will Melon ikarous go for Lucas as well man damn feel sorry for Lucas already.
Still a awesome story dude update soon.
:Hey, thanks for the second review. I believe the angeloids are organic machines, but their bodies/skin/hair are all made up of a different material then humans for obvious reasons. I will go more in depth on that later. As for their temptations, well 2nd generations under Solara's design have 75-90 out of 100 points across the board in terms of battle, emotional, and processing power, so Lucas is more likely to get a reaction from them instead of the other models. I'll answer more in the future. As for the ruins, I'm actually shocked you caught that so soon. I will develop a large history of Synapse, don't worry. As for Ikaros Melan going for Lucas...yeah, I feel sorry for him too. XD You'll have to wait and see.
Disclaimer: I'm sick of these. I don't own anything canon of Sora no Otoshimono, but if the creator would like to use any of my characters, I would gladly give him Omega/Solara/Beta-Echo, etc. in exchange for a percentage of any profits the anime/manga makes, as well as authority in how said characters are developed and used. THIS DEFINITELY INCLUDES VOICE ACTORS! I WILL NOT HAVE OMEGA SOUNDING LIKE AN 18YEAR OLD JUSTIN BEIBER, OR A 12YR JAPANESE BOY WHO ACTUALLY SOUNDS LIKE A GIRL!
The door to a dark room flew open before two figures came in and closed it as quickly as possible. The sounds of heavy breathing and panting filled the room. If one didn't know better, they think a couple were doing the dirty. As the lights came on, they revealed 'that' to not be the case.
Omega and Beta were breathing deeply with their hands pressed against the door. Omega slowly pressed his ear against the door to listen for anybody.
"I think he went this way!"
"Omega, where are you?"
"We're not going to hurt you!"
"He's gonna be mine, tramp!"
That last statement peeked his curiosity as a brow rosed. Beta saw the wondering look in his eyes and shook her head. "No. We just got done flying from them and I will not let all that effort go to waste because you want to see some angels fighting over you," she commanded.
"You wanna say that to my face!" The sounds of girls yelling and punches landing was too enticing.
"Please! Just a peek," he begged.
"No! If you are that amazed by girls fighting, then you should've jus-" she immediately stopped herself, leaving Omega to dwell on what she tried to say.
"I should've just what?" His curiosity was getting the better of him, but Beta refused to say anyting else. She walked further into the room so he wouldn't see her slight blush. "You know I'm going to keep bugging you until you tell me?"
That sounded more like a statement then a question. However, she still wouldn't answer.
"Fine, let me ask you this then. Why'd ya help me?" Her body stiffened but he didn't notice it, thankfully.
Why did she help him? Maybe from just some sense of comarderie?
"I felt bad for you. That's all," she claimed, making the guy frown. But he didn't stay mad; in fact, he just gave her an embarrassed smile.
"Well, thanks anyway. I'm okay with a woman, but when it comes to women, I have no defense or experience in." She saw the sheepish expression on him and knew he was telling the truth. Afterall, she and Echo had had alot of information about him uploaded to their minds by their Master.
Omega pressed his ears against the door again and was able to hear the remaining bits of the fight. Unfortunately, that meant that he and Beta were trapped. He glanced at her and saw the angeloid looking around the low-lit room, inspecting everything for the sake of curiosity. In truth, she was just trying to busy her mind. She kept thinking back to what she was about to say, wondering why she would say that.
Omega took a seat against the wall and let out a deep sigh. "If undetected we want to be, then we're gonna be here for a little bit. You wanna come sit down?"
She wanted to ask why but she saw how comfortable he looked. "For a little bit." He patted the spot next to him and she gracefully walked over and took it. She laid back against his out-stretched, left wing, his wings unfurled because it was annoying to lie against the wall with them folded.
Though she couldn't see it, Omega had gained a small blush from the contact. It wasn't often he was in close-contact with a woman like this. Sure, he's been close to plenty of girls, but he never blushed or anything since they were just talking. It must be the darkness of the room.
He glanced from his peripheral to see Beta just sitting there, unconcerned and unaware of his feelings. She looked to be thinking right now, given the faraway look in her eyes. He tried to imagine what but figured out that he knew almost NOTHING about her, her master, the Sky Master, or Synapse!
'Perhaps a conversation is needed. Dang, I was never the conversation type.' It was true. The only way Lucas could carry on a conversation was if he was asked plenty of questions about a subject he knew of. If he was just a socializing chat, he wouldn't last three minutes before he'd run out of things to say, inevitably leading to the dreaded, awkward silent moment.
Meanwhile, Beta was thinking about Omega. Though she knew very close to everything about him, there were still some things to be found out. And...she won't admit it, but his wing is really comfortable. She couldn't even feel the wall behind them and her body sanked into the wing, more or less.
"Hey, if it's alright, I was kinda wondering if we could get to know each other better." She looked at him quizically, not understanding the point of it.
"It's just that, while you and the others probably know my whole life story, I don't know hardly anything about you all. It would help me to understand more of what I'm fighting for." He had kept his eyes on her the entire time he spoke. She didn't know if he was doing it on purpose, but she felt small under his gaze, like he was a giant predator and she his prey. His eyes seemed to watch her body like an eagle.
Obviously, it made her nervous, yet it made her feel something else as well. She felt her face and body heat up a little but now was not the time to check her system. As she thought over his response, she saw much sense into it.
"Alright. I'll give you the basic run-through of Synapse's history. The beginning of Synapse is said to have been back just after your species' creation. Not much is known of the angels' race back then, but they have always presided on this world since its creation. The angels had their own kingdom, far away from the reaches of the Downers, and outside most of existing ones' knowledge. This was before the creation of the angeloids, during Professor Daidalos' young years as well.
The kingdom thrived and grew, yet like the humans, there was some division amongst the angels. There were many more males at the time. I have not learned the details, but eventually only one male remained."
"The Sky Master?" Omega guessed. She confirmed it with a nod. So far, he was stunned at how old this race of angels was. Dating back to the beginning of humanity.
"When the Sky Master came into power, he began exploring more into the field of science. After several hundred years, their technology became thousands of years ahead of the humans. He began to see them as insignificant while he saw himself as just a few steps under God compared to them. To further prove the angels' superiority to the humans, he had a work force of thousands of humans who believed him to be a God or one of their God's angels, and he made them construct the palaces and islands you have seen now.
While they worked with building the structures, his scientists began a secret project to modify the islands. Using the magnetism of the earth to repell the cities, it made them fly. And when the palaces and islands were finished, the new floating city of Synapse was created. The Sky Master, impressed with how efficient the humans' labor force was when joined under a single cause, felt compelled to tell them just that. The humans, led by a man named Nimrod, felt they were cheated though when they weren't allowed to join the angels in Synapse. Though Nimrod used this as an excuse, he was just a power-hungry tyrant. He convinced the humans that they could achieve something just as great as Synapse. At this point time, Synapse was still visible to the humans.
Under his order, the humans came together on the plains of Shinar and began building a massive tower, one they claimed would reach higher then Synapse. The Sky Master felt this as an insult and would have ordered their destruction immediately, but decided to wait. While the humans were building their tower high into the sky, Daidalos had finished her greatest creation. First Generation, Tactical-Battle Class Angeloid, Type: Alpha, Ikaros. He ordered Ikaros to destroy the tower, along with all the humans.
She did so with ruthless efficiency. Knowing that the humans were stubborn and could come together again, he had Daidalos make another angeloid, one that could influence humans. What she created was Electronic-Warfare Class Angeloid, Type: Beta, Nymph. He ordered her to rewrite the languages of all the humans on the planet. She did so by hacking into their brains and twisting their own languages into something completely indecipherable and foreign to them.
With the humans' one language now split into thousands, they could not understand each other and eventually split apart to inhabit numerous various spots throughout the globe. It was after that event that the humans were given the name 'Downers' and that the general public opinion of them amongst the angels became condescending and untrustful. From then on, more angeloids were created to match the technological progess that the humans were making, always making sure that the humans would never reach their level.
Only thing was that Ikaros was ordered to only be used incase of emergencies since her firepower was deemed overkill and the Sky Master didn't like seeing the world underneath him quake whenever she destroyed a country. That was when the other first generation angeloids found their true purpose. The Close-Combat Class Angeloid, Type: Delta, Astraea, and the Oregano medical class angeloids were built to maintain Synapse and guard it, and the Interceptor-Ambush Class Angeloids, Type: Gamma, Harpy were created to watch over Synapse and keep the other angeloids in line.
Eventually, Daidalos and her science teams were able to develop cloaking devices for all of Synapse. It didn't make their kingdom just invisible, but rather in a parallel dimension; one so close that we can see the world but they can't see us. Since then, Synapse has floated around the world, keeping watch over the Downers. We've seen them grow and form hundreds of nations. We've seen them fight battles and worlds that would sometimes need our intervention to prevent humanity's extinction. We've been humanity's guardians as well as their judges whenever necessary, even until now."
When she'd finished, the two's facial expressions were practically as opposite as night and day. Beta's was neutral while Omega was doing his best goldfish impersonation. She saw the face and suddenly laughed, but didn't know why. Maybe because the amazing Omega wasn't suppose to be making flabbergasted faces. It took him a while, but Omega eventually got control of his facial muscles again and was able to shut his jaw.
"Is that why the Sky Master is so bent on taking out that Tomoki boy and getting rid of the rogue angeloids?"
"Yes. Those humans have little knowledge of the angeloids they harbor. If they were to fall into the wrong hands, such as a splinter-group or corrupt government, or even if Tomoki-teme ordered Ikaros-san to attack some country, then it would definitely upset the balance of the world," she explained.
Though abit harsh towards Tomoki, it made perfect sense from the angels' point of view. He knew all to well that humanity was not ready for the angels and their angeloids. They were still so very immature. Normally, someone would ask him what gave him the right to decide that...well, he was chosen by the angels themselves over 7billion people to join them, so yeah, go figure.
"Thanks for telling me all this, Beta." He furled his wing against her body in a comforting gesture. "So, now that we got the history out of the way, what kind of culture does Synapse have?"
Trying to ignore the warm feeling of his wing, she gathered all of her knowledge on some of the more specific things.
"Well, there are a few festivals held each year," she stated.
"Really? What kind?" he asked. He may not have been flowing with the river as a human, but he'd decided that he'd try to be open during his new life. Atleast these people had parties. He never got invited to many, so maybe this time things will be different. Afterall, he does have a couple hundred hormonal women looking for him.
"Well, there is one to celebrate Synapse's ascension into the skies, which is just a month away." A month away? Why does that sound so familiar?
"What day?" he asked suddenly, almost like he was alarmed by the news. She didn't know what was with the change in attitude, but answered the question.
"Well, Synapse goes by a different calendar then the humans have, but for you, it would be the 3rd of June...eh-are you okay, Omega?" When she said that date, Omega looked like he just saw her naked or something. It showed complete shock, in other words.
His expression soon changed to soft laughing as he laid back against the wall. "June 3...that's my birthday," he said, disbelievingly. "What are the odds?"
However, since Beta wasn't human, she didn't know what the big deal was. "The day of your birth is the same day we celebrate Ascension? A personal honor, I suppose."
"Who don't know, do you?" he asked. Her clueless, silent response was his answer. *sighs* "Us humans, we would celebrate our birthdays, sorta like the angels do on Synapse's Ascension. To us, it signals the end of another year that we've lived. Most of the time, everyone would just have a party with their friends coming over, who would give gifts to celebrate with you."
He was looking down at the ground with a sad smile. "And you celebrated like this?" Beta assumed. That sad smile slowly twisted itself into a frown.
"No. You've got my lifestory. Read it. My dad was away. My mom had custody over me, my little sister, and my two older brothers. I was the least favorite, because my mom had been wanting a girl the entire time. I was the object of her anger...and the victim of it. She never threw me a party. She spent all her time drinking with her friends. And before you ask if I had any friends, you should know that I didn't have any."
He eyes had shut closed and his fists clenching white. His arms were shaking from the anger pent up inside him. "My..my brothers weren't even my friends either. They helped all the other kids pick on me. I was backed into a corner for so long, betrayed by everyone I knew. So..I became a hellchild. I vented my anger out of everyone, boy or girl, my grade or a senior. It didn't matter. I showed them everyday just what they'd created."
Beta knew of just the bare details, but hearing it all from the victim of it all...it made a much more impact on her. She didn't want to imagine what it would be like to have everyone, even her own sister and mother, turn against her. The abuse and mockery...how on earth did he handle it?
She noticed he had started shaking badly. So much emotion was fighting to get out. The amount was probably inexplicable.
"Omega.." she called softly. She placed a hand on the back of his neck when she crawled closer. She found she couldn't even keep it firm against him from all the trembling. His face, one that was a source of a warm, happy smile just earlier, was now contorted into a venomous snarl.
"I was on my own...for fourteen years. I had to teach myself everything by watching and listening, as well as trial and error. I taught myself to read, to write, to count numbers, to use the toilet correctly, and to make my own food. While all the other kids had families and friends, I had my loneliness and my collie, Sam. Everday was survival for me. If it wasn't getting through the day at school, then it was the beatings and isolation at home that picked away at my soul. It caused me to see humanity for what it truly was. These things of happiness and family and companionship...these things were just a sugar-coated disguise, masking away the real face of life."
Beta started growing more nervous. "Please, Omega...If you are this troubled by it, then do not tell me anymore."
Her soft plea was answered by the sound of a pained roar from Omega that rattled every bone in her body.
The roar was so loud and violent, it shook everything around them and was heard from everyone within a mile. And it was so sad...like a wolf howling at the moon after its cub died. The sound, so sorrowful, so full of pain..it was as if he was trying to manifest his feelings into an omnipresent form. The howl was suddenly ended with a large smash.
*BOOM*
Beta fell back as Omega pounded his fist into the floor, shattering the ground underneath him. The fist was completely in the ground, yet he pulled it out with ease and went back to punching.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM* *BOOM*
"RRRAAAAAGGHHHHHHHHH!"
*BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM* *BOOM*BOOM*BOOM*BOOM*BOOM*BOOM*
With each punch, the ground shattered more and punch til by the last couple of punches, there was a decent size crater underneath him. He finally stopped punching and was just down on all fours, panting heavily, yet he failed to hide the tears that flowed down his face. Suddenly, all of the pain and exertion from the battle began catching up to him.
His breathing slowed down to deep, greedy breaths and then..he passed out. Beta watched him for a couple of minutes, not wanting to get too close if he wasn't really out. With cautious steps, she went by his side and ran a hand through the short hair he had. She looked down at him with a pitying look.
'Omega...'
A/N: And that's a wrap for this chapter. I'm sorry it was so short *dodges any items thrown at him*, but I had to cut this chapter short. I'm working my butt off in college right now and I'm almost falling behind in some classes because of my fanaticism with fanfiction. Maybe I oughta make an anime/manga club here.
Anyway, I've gotta go now, so please review for me or send a message. Also, I'll lend my ears to any ideas for filler chapters of you have any. Expect the next chapter no later then 10days. I know, it sucks, but I need you to work with me here.
Till then, siyanara.
p.s. If I just butchered the Japanese language, then I'm terribly sorry.
