Chapter 10: Flying High

Renton and Eureka found peace within the war time, but they knew the war hasn't ended; no it was still continuing.

"Renton, let's get some sleep" Eureka said as she retrieved Mitsuki.

"It's been a long day" Renton said as he walked with Eureka.

"I hope Mitsuki can sleep through everything" Eureka said as she looked down.

"A child should never see something like war" Renton said.

"Yeah…" Eureka said. They went to the room where Maurice, Maeter and Linck had gotten themselves to bed. Eureka carefully placed Mitsuki in the crib and Renton placed the cover over her. Renton bent down to kiss Mitsuki on the forehead, and said good night. Eureka got into her might gown, and Renton changed into his under shirt and boxers. They went to sleep together again, but this time there wasn't fighting. It was a pleasant dream, but it was more of a memory. Eureka could see herself with Renton when Renton first joined the Gekko-Go, she saw even though it was that long ago and Renton had just met her, he still wanted to protect her. Eureka felt her heart warming when she realized Renton wasn't near her, but she could feel he wasn't far away. Renton was wandering around when he realized he was in the mining cave, he remembered it well; Eureka tried to go back once. Renton could see the cave clearly and walked around to see if Eureka was already there; to his surprise she hasn't arrived yet. Eureka ran toward the feeling of Renton and as she did, she reached a familiar place. It was the cave where she tried to go back. Renton wandered around to see if he could see Eureka coming in the Nirvash, he never saw what happened to Eureka when she tried to go back but he walked around and saw nothing. Eureka had just arrived at the spot where she entered the Scab Coral, she saw herself get out of the Nirvash and walked over to the wall. She saw herself touch the wall and it light up, she remembered that she called for Renton when she entered it. Renton found Eureka now, both of them; the past and his Eureka. He moved over to her and set himself next to her. They watched as Eureka entered the Scab.

"I remember what I saw in there" Eureka said.

"I remember how horrified I was when I saw you like that" Renton said.

"I called out for you when I was in there" she said taking Renton's hand.

"I just wanted to save you no matter what" he said smiling.

"After that, you ran away, and I was so lonely" Eureka said.

"I'm sorry about that, but I thought that you hated me" Renton said with a sign of guilt.

"I was just scared, but then I realized; I needed you" Eureka said as she leaned over to him.

"And I needed you too" Renton said. Renton and Eureka had that light again, it was a purple glow and it matched their vital signals; they were one. For that night nothing out of the ordinary happened, it would be the next day that the worst was to happen. The next day, was when the FAC attacked; the Gekko-Go was some what ready for this.

"Leader! A few KLF squads are coming in quick" Woz said.

"How many?" Holland asked quickly.

"About 7 squads" Woz answered.

"Holland, Eureka and I are launching" Renton said over the intercom.

"What!?" Holland said.

"What are you doing?" Holland yelled over the intercom.

"We'll be fine Holland, if it's the two of us" Eureka said. Holland still didn't like the idea but he trusted them both.

"Launch the typeWAVE now" Holland ordered. The other ships had launched KLF units; the Gekko-Go launched the typeWAVE, 606, 808 and the 909. Just before Renton and Eureka launched they held hands, their minds began to merge. Though it didn't fully merge, they could tell what the other is thinking. As they approached the KLF units they could see not far from them was the floating FAC base, but what's more interesting is the three KLFs that were leading the attack. The first one was familiar to them, it was the black LFO in their dreams; however, it was different. The LFO's face plate was red with two eye holes, but nothing was in there. Just like theEND, it was shaped like the Nirvash; but its ref board didn't separate. Also, unlike theEND; the LFO didn't have two plates in its chest. They couldn't tell what weapons were on the LFO. The other two were identical to each other, except the fact they were different colors. They both had a sharply shaped Ref boards, the head was one eyed too. Renton and Eureka could see the two other KLFs had plates in their chests, which means they have a long range attack from that.

"This is the WaveRider; we're going to engage the three leading KLFs" Renton and Eureka said in unison.

"Wait, all by yourselves!" Holland said angrily.

"Please cover us" they said together. Renton and Eureka knew the three KLFs were going to attack them no matter what, but they couldn't put anyone else in further danger. Just as they began their fight with their fight with the three KLFs, Omega came over the intercom.

"Holland, Renton, Eureka!" Omega's voice came from the intercom.

"Get away from those KLFs now" he said loudly.

"We'll be fine, believe in us!" Renton and Eureka said in unison.

"It's not that, if it was just one of them I wouldn't be worried. It's the three of them together against you I'm worried about!" Omega said.

"Why?" they said in unison.

"That's the TA 101 Nirvash typeEX and the other two are the TB 202 twin Alpha and Beta!" Omega said in desperation.

"Please believe in us!" they said again. Renton and Eureka knew if they run now, that black LFO would haunt their dreams and come back for them later.

"Damn it!" Omega said. The three KLF began their attack on WaveRider, and just as Omega said; they were dangerous. It took them everything they got to dodge their attacks; they couldn't even get a chance to strike back. Renton activated the arm blades and slashed it, to their surprise the slash they made formed a wind current that could travel and cut. With this discovery, Renton and Eureka had a way to fight back. This little victory was short lived when the black KLF's face plate opened at the mouth, a jaw appeared and it charged up some energy. It fired on them; it was like their Trappar cannon only much more powerful. They knew that attack was the same as their trappar cannon at full power. Renton pressed the charge button for the trappar cannon, they could still move while it charged; they waited for the gage to hit the red zone. With the timing right they fired on the black KLF; a direct hit. But as the smoke clears only a piece of armor came off, then it slung out its arm and it divided into 3 pieces. The archetype was stretching and the claw at the end of the arm was coming at them. Just as they blocked the attack, one of the other KLF attacked them from behind and knocked them off the board. WaveRider was heading to the ground.

"Renton, Eureka!" Holland called out as he was fighting 5 KLFs at once. As they were falling, Renton and Eureka knew they had to go full sync. Everyone could see a blue and red glow, as they saw this WaveRider got its board and rode up for a counter attack. As the lights came into sync the better WaveRider's fighting ability seemed to be. Soon the lights were in perfect sync, and WaveRider was taking on the three KLFs with no problem. But no matter how well the fighting abilities are the timed attacks from the three KLFs were still dangerous, just as WaveRider was about to get hit the archetype grew a large plate out of its arm. The plate was used to block the laser, using this they mounted a counter attack and shot Beta in the leg; it fell to the ground. The Alpha dropped down to pick it up when WaveRider slashed out its board and took out an arm. WaveRider turned and saw the black KLF right in front of it ready for an attack. Just as it was about to strike it backed off and a laser came to where it was. The Devil fish was coming in fast; they didn't know who was piloting it.

"Renton, Eureka, get the Alpha and Beta and get out of here" Omega said.

"But that KLF-" they were cut off.

"It's almost out of power" Omega responded.

"It has to leave now" Omega added. Renton and Eureka caught the two KLFs and took them back to the Gekko-Go. When they got there, everyone was ready for the pilots; but everyone wasn't expecting this. The two KLF pilots were unconscious and they were Dominic and Anemone!

"What-Why are they in there?" Renton and Eureka said in shock.

"Move over" Omega said as he came through with a box. When he opened it, there were five compacts aligned in an X. Omega switched on something and a green light appeared from Dominic and Anemone, it scattered and flew out side the damaged Hanger door. Slowly they regained consciousness, but when Dominic saw Omega he was enraged and slammed him against the wall.

"Wait, what are you doing Dominic?" Renton asked.

"Ask this bastard that" Dominic replied bitterly.

"What do you mean?" Eureka said in confusion.

"He was with the FAC!" he as he slammed him in to the wall again.

"Omega is this true" Holland asked.

"Yeah, it is" Omega said calmly.

"Tell us, what are you doing here? Are you here to capture Renton and Eureka or are you here to destroy the Gekko-Go" Dominic said angrily. Anemone was behind him and was staring at Omega.

"No, I was held prisoner there" Omega replied.

"Don't lie!" Dominic yelled.

"Jeez, you think I care about my life when I was there. No, I didn't; it was because they got Renton" Omega said.

"They said if I don't help them, they'll kill him" Omega said bitterly. Dominic now loosens his grip.

"I guess I'll tell you now, I was the one who invented the Unit souls" he said with his head down. Everyone in the room was shocked.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Holland said angrily.

"I couldn't" he said.

"I guess I'll tell you how I got away from the FAC" he said.

"About a month before Renton was captured I was taken prisoner, my transport ship was attacked and I was captured. I didn't want to help them, and for a month they tortured me. But one day they brought in Renton and said they'd kill him if I didn't help them, I needed to save Renton" Omega said just as Renton was about to ask a question.

"Wait, are you that scientist?" he said surprised.

"The one that brought your meals, and took you back every time they finished experimenting on you. Yeah, that's me" he said.

"I wanted to thank that scientist for that" Renton said.

"I'm not done yet. They wanted to speed up the Unit project as much as possible, but I managed to slow them down. I slowly gathered data on the ship and where its locations would be and I made a message to the Gekko-Go" he said just as Holland cut him off.

"So the one that planed the attacked was you?" Holland said.

"Yeah, but I didn't expect the guard to be there, they were suppose to be at lunch. But he was sick and didn't want lunch. When he saw you coming he pressed the alarm and took Renton and I. When the ship began to separate, I grabbed a parachute and jumped out. I know they were going to kill me" Omega said.

"But I did do something before the attack, I took into account that the plan might fail. So I screwed up the data and they used a lower concentration of drug and Renton could break free from Unit seven's control more easily" he added.

"I see…" Dominic put Omega down now.

"Since I'm at it" Omega said.

"I might as well tell you how I invented the Unit souls" Omega said. Everyone came to hear this, Omega waited a bit for people to come but he didn't seem to be happy.

"Unit seven and the drugs originated from Eureka" Omega said coldly.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Renton said angrily.

"I was on the team with Adrock that studied Eureka" Omega said then paused.

"But I don't remember you" Eureka said confused.

"Of course you don't, I was the person that stayed behind the glass and studied your mental signals" he said.

"That's where I got the data to make a unit soul from" he said.

"Why Eureka" Holland asked.

"Eureka's mind at that stage could learn but we could use that and alter the personality as well, because what they told me was to use this method to cure despair sickness" Omega said.

"What they told you?" Eureka asked. She was curious now about this man.

"They wanted to use it for other purposes, but they told me that it was going to be used for the despair sickness patiences" Omega said.

"They lied to you?" Renton asked.

"You see, if I think it's not a good cause then I don't do it. But they wanted it bad enough so they tricked me into working on it" Omega replied.

"Was it ever finished" Holland asked.

"I did finish it, but I never gave the full report or the full research materials" Omega said.

"Was Unit seven complete" Renton asked.

"No, I never finished it. Even when they captured you I still didn't finish it" Omega said shaking his head.

"So what happened" Holland asked.

"When I first finished the project, I discovered what the military wanted to use them for" Omega began to explain.

"They were planning on making the perfect little soldiers, ones that will never go against an order and ones that will never disobey the higher ups" he said coldly.

"You want to know why Unit seven has a seven in it." Omega asked.

"I guess so…" everyone said.

"Unit seven's base personality was from Eureka" he started.

"Well, Eureka's seventh stage in mental development" he added.

"Huh?" Renton and Eureka said.

"Eureka's mental development went through stages of development and we were tracking it" he said.

"Aside from the Unit project I was also in charge of Eureka's mental signal records. When I couldn't seem to find the bug in the base personality instructions I saw how Eureka's personality at the stage fit the needs for a base one" Omega said.

"I was using the 6th one when they ordered me to use the 7th" Omega said bitterly.

"Why the 7th" Holland asked.

"I'll explain the stages: stage 1 was when Eureka was first discovered she had no memories or emotions just base human functions, stage 2 was when she began to learn, Eureka's brain began to learn to walk and have control over her body, stage 3 was when she developed more complex learning, such as walking, talking and understanding" Omega said slowly.

"Stage 4 was when she was introduced to the Nirvash for the first time, the people at Tresor wanted to see if Eureka could Pilot it, Stage 5 was when Eureka began talking to the Nirvash and that was yet another development. At stage 6, she could pilot the Nirvash and had basic human emotions and understanding; the personality I needed for a base. But I continued to monitor Eureka, when Adrock used the Amita Drive and Eureka learned to use weapons on the Nirvash; that's when the 7th development found" Omega said.

"This was the perfect personality for the perfect soldier, one who would follow orders and one who showed no emotions in battle" Omega continued.

"That's why when Holland took the Gekko-Go, I made sure most of the security was off, I wanted to come along; but I had to destroy the unit project" Omega said as he touched his laptop.

"So you knew Adrock?" Renton said suddenly.

"Yeah…I had to share my research with him, you know? You remind me of Adrock" Omega said as he looked towards Renton.

"What?" Renton asked.

"Adrock wouldn't stop talking about his son, saying how cute and energetic he was" Omega said smiling.

"He was very proud of you" Omega added.

"But why didn't he come home?" Renton was confused.

"Eureka was someone who needed full attention, he even said to me once; looks like I have another daughter now and he would go off laughing" Omega said with a chuckle.

"He thought of Eureka as his daughter and even so, he couldn't forget his real son now could he" Omega added.

"Dad, really said that" Renton asked.

"Not in front of Eureka, but always in my face" Omega said smiling.

"He was a good man, I'm sure if they didn't push him to use the Amita drive; he would be home eating a burger with you" Omega said.

"They pushed him to?" Renton wanted to know more.

"During our research we discovered that the Amita drive and the Nirvash held great power, the military was interested and pushed the project faster" Omega said.

"Because of certain speed requirements, we didn't fully research what would happen. But those bastards wanted power" Omega's voice turn sour.

"We couldn't find a way to stop it without taking Adrock out with it" Omega added.

"There wasn't enough time" he continued.

"Thank you for tell me" Renton said.

"Dominic, Anemone, come to the infirmary. I need to run a few tests on you two" Omega suddenly said.

"How can I trust you?" Dominic said.

"If I was really an evil person, wouldn't Renton and Eureka be with the FAC and the Gekko-Go destroyed by now?" Omega said with an annoyed tone.

"I guess…" Dominic said looking down.

"Well, I can't blame you; they probably told you I was in charge of the project when they injected you" Omega said.

"We have to take out the TA 101 Nirvash typeEX as fast as possible" Omega quickly added.

"And now" Omega said as he got up.

"Time for a few tests" he said as he grabbed Dominic and Anemone's arms. For 3 hours he tested them and when he came out, he gave them the clear. He said that the only thing wrong was the drug that's still in their system, but with rest it would be out.

"Omega, what do you know about that Nirvash?" Anemone asked.

"I see…It feels like theEND doesn't it?" Omega said.
