Chapter 11: Memento Moment

"I see…Feels like theEND doesn't it" Omega said.

"Not really, it looks like theEND but it doesn't feel like it" Anemone said.

"I guess you're right about that" Omega said as he continued on his project.

"What do you know about it" Anemone knew something. Renton and Eureka wasn't far behind, they wanted to ask a few questions themselves about Omega.

"That child is in pain" he said slowly.

"I guess you could call that child theEND's brother" he said.

"Why would it be, theEND never mentioned anything about a brother" Anemone protested.

"The typeEX is yet another archetype that evolved" Omega said.

"But not in the way theEND and Nirvash did" he added.

"Omega… We wanted to ask you something" Renton and Eureka said as they walked up to him.

"I guess you should hear this too" he said.

"There are four known Archetypes that evolved, those are; the typeZERO, the typetheEND, the typeWAVE and the typeEX" he said as he took out a picture.

"You all know about the Nirvash and theEND and even the typeWAVE but it's the typeEX that is trouble" he said as he moved to the picture of the black KLF.

"The typeEX wasn't always evil, in fact, it was once like the typeWAVE" Omega said with a small smile.

"How did it evolve" Renton asked.

"That's the thing; it was already evolved when we found it. For one the compact glow on the body weren't green, they were blue. Not only that, the archetype's arms could stretch and it was a curious design" Omega said as he took out a picture of the archetype.

"It looks gentle doesn't it" Omega said as he showed the picture. The picture showed the archetype in a hanger, no weapons were near it and it had an innocent aura around it. It didn't feel like the KLF that attack with such rage and anger.

"They put me in charge of designing the armor, of course they never told me about the weapons so I didn't design any" he said as his smile faded.

"But then they said that they needed new weapons for the other KLFs and so like a sucker I designed it for them" Omega's voice was changing again.

"By the time I finished the last weapon design, I realized that it was for the typeEX. When I went to the hanger to stop it, it was too late. I was so caught up in the typeEX's design I forgot to check up on it. They did something and the archetype turned black" Omega said as he took out another picture of the archetype; it was pure black and the blue compact glows became red the once innocent aura was now a sinister field. This was the feeling of the KLF that attacked them.

"How horrible" Eureka said as she placed her hand on the picture.

"The military broke up not long after that, they took that child with them" Omega's voice sounded sad. Anemone, Eureka and Renton left after hearing Omega's story about the typeEX; it was a child that was in pain.

"Renton can you wait here for a minute, I have to get Mitsuki" Eureka said as she ran off.

"Who's Mitsuki" Anemone asked.

"Our daughter" Renton said.

"Really?" Anemone was surprised.

"Yeah, say where's Dominic" Renton said with pride.

"Behind you" Dominic said from behind Renton, this startled him a lot.

"How long have you been there" Renton said as he recovered from the shock.

"Long enough to hear that you and Eureka have a daughter" Dominic said. Eureka by now had come back with a blue bundle in her arms.

"Hi Dominic" Eureka said as she walked up to them.

"Hi Eureka, is that your daughter" Dominic said as he pointed to the bundle in her arms.

"Yeah, this is Mitsuki" Eureka said as she showed Dominic and Anemone.

"She's so cute" Anemone said.

"She looks a lot like you Eureka" Dominic added. The baby was still sleeping and they decided to head for Stoner's room to check the news of the FAC. Eureka didn't want to wake Mitsuki up so she brought her to their room and placed her in the crib. They were watching the news when the black KLF came to attack. Renton and Eureka quickly ran to the hanger and took the typeWAVE. Their minds began to merge again.

"WaveRider launching" they said together. Just as before there were a lot of KLF squads that attacked but Holland's side was only the Gekko-Go, they had to launch everything they had. But the Devilfish remained because there was no one who could pilot it, and no one wanted to. The black KLF went straight for Renton and Eureka; it launched its arms at them and tried to cut them. Renton and Eureka could take this KLF on; it wasn't too big of a threat now that it was alone. They were wrong, for some reason the black KLF's fighting abilities were much higher than the last time they fought it. It was like a different pilot was in there, little did they know; the pilot was a familiar face. As the battle continued the Gekko-Go was hit a few times and had to make a landing, it slowly descended to a forested area. The battle followed the Gekko-Go as everyone began to get closer to the Gekko-Go, a few KLFs fell. Omega was using the counter-unit device, this help protect the Gekko-Go from close ranged attacks. What was left was for the 606, 808, 909 and WaveRider to block the long ranged attackers. The battle between the typeWAVE and typeEX had gone to a whole new level; Renton and Eureka were doing their best. Even going into full sync, but the black KLF was still too much trouble; they were soon hit. WaveRider was falling and the board was too far away to reach, just when the typeEX was about to attack; the Devilfish came to their rescue.

"Are you two alright?" Omega said over the intercom.

"We're fine now" they said in unison. The Devilfish retrieved WaveRider's board and they attacked the typeEX together. The battle continued and Renton, Eureka and Omega were taking more and more damage, the same could not be said for the typeEX. It was still untouched; the only thing that could be called damage on it was the bumps on it from hitting the Devilfish and WaveRider. Soon after the Devilfish took a vital hit.

"Omega you should leave this to us" Renton and Eureka said in unison. But Omega didn't want to hear this; he grabbed the arm of the typeEX and let it retract so they were face to face.

"Unit seven huh?" Omega said as he looked into the blank eyes of the KLF.

"Unit seven?" Renton and Eureka said.

"Renton Thurston, Eureka Thurston, did you believe that I could be destroyed so easily" the voice said.

"I will take back the body and kill you both" Unit seven was talking about Renton's body and it found away to kill his mind.

"Why do you need a body, don't you have one now" Renton yelled.

"I can't stay like this forever, but I can take back the body and destroy the Military that is under Holland's command" Unit seven said coldly.

"First I am to kill this resistance" he said as he looked toward Omega. Omega took the chance to grab WaveRider and placed its chest in front of the typeEX, himself and Unit seven.

"Eureka, Renton fire now!" Omega yelled.

"We can't you're in the line of fire" they yelled back in unison.

"If you don't then I'll die here anyways, fire now while I have him" Omega yelled desperately. Renton and Eureka couldn't bring themselves to do it, Omega was in the line of fire and they couldn't kill him.

"Renton, Eureka, it's alright. You can kill me here, I owe my friends my life" he said.

"What, why?" they asked in unison.

"I used to have two friends named Stella and Akira, they were lovers too" he said with a small chuckle.

"They were going to have a child together and because he often kicked Stella, they wanted to name the child Kicker" Omega said with tears n his eyes.

"But because of an experiment, they both died. And I wanted to join them but not before I helped you two, now hurry!" Omega said as he struggled to get a grip on the typeEX. WaveRider heard this and began charging the trappar cannon, Eureka and Renton tried to stop it but the gage had hit the max point. WaveRider opened fire; this destroyed the Devilfish along with Omega and seriously damaging the typeEX. It fell to the ground, Renton and Eureka broke up their minds and realized Omega had just been killed. As they landed on the Gekko-Go, Renton felt his head hurt. Unit seven had gotten into him. Renton opened the cockpit and pushed Eureka out and jumped off in the other direction, Eureka who was confused followed him.

"Eureka, please stay back" Renton said as he took out the pistol and tossed it to Eureka.

"Get out!" Renton was screaming. Eureka wanted to get closer but Renton won't let her.

"Eureka please… Leave before he takes over" Renton was struggling to get the words out.

"But Renton, Omega said if I'm with you, you could fight it back" Eureka yelled as she ran toward him.

"It's different this time!" Renton let out a short scream then clasped on the ground. Eureka ran to him but when she looked into his eyes she could see; three rings forming in his eyes. Eureka backed off and Renton who was shaking at the time slowly stopped. Renton closed his eyes and took a small breath and got up, it wasn't Renton anymore; it was Unit seven.

"Eureka Thurston, after I kill you. Renton will die, and I will kill everyone on the Gekko-Go" he said emotionlessly.

"Stay back Eureka!" Holland said as he pointed a gun to Unit seven.

"Go ahead, fire Holland Novak" Unit seven said calmly.

"Can't kill Renton can you" Unit seven said mockingly. He slowly walked up to Eureka who was frozen on the spot, she couldn't feel Renton anymore. She stood there watching Unit seven, in Renton's face come up to her.

"I don't have a weapon, so I'll take that gun" Unit seven said as he reached out to the gun. Eureka had pointed the gun at him but couldn't press the trigger, she wanted Renton be in there; but to her horror, Renton might be gone. Unit seven got closer and closer until he was right in front of Eureka, his eyes were evil and the sweetness that Renton had shown her was gone. Unit seven blinked and hugged Eureka; with his eyes still closed he kissed Eureka. Holland couldn't stand it, but there wasn't anything he could do. Eureka was terrified but for some reason the kiss felt like Renton, Unit seven reached for the gun and Holland realized he was going to kill Eureka. Unit seven was holding Eureka's hand with the gun and everyone heard the gun go off. Everyone thought Eureka opened fire, but they were wrong; the gun kept firing into Renton. Holland realized Renton took control now, he was firing into himself; the only way he could stop Unit seven was to kill himself. Eureka was crying, she could see Renton's eyes were what they used to be; but he killing himself. As the gun ran out of bullets, blood came from Renton's mouth and he clasped to the ground once again.

"Get…out…of…me!!!" Renton yelled to the heavens. As he did a green image came from behind him, it looked like Renton but everyone knew it was Unit seven. It scattered into the Trappar.

"Renton!" Eureka dropped to the ground began crying over Renton.

"I'm back…" Renton said just before he started to lose consciousness. Holland brought Renton to the infirmary but there was bad news, from all the injuries and lack of resupplying there weren't any blood units left and Holland wasn't in a condition to give blood. From his battle he was also injured and was in a bad state, Holland had just enough blood to survive. Eureka couldn't ask him to give up his life for Renton, she couldn't ask anyone but herself to give their life for Renton. Mischa came out and told the injured Holland about Renton's condition. She gave him one hour to live and with the Gekko-Go's damages there was little they could do. Eureka heard this and beg for them to let her see him, Holland agreed. Eureka entered the room and Renton was there barely alive.

"Renton…" Eureka wanted to cry.

"Eureka… Mischa said I was going to die" Renton said slowly and weakly. Eureka couldn't speak but she wanted to rip her heart out, it hurt so much.

"Why did you shoot yourself when you could have pushed him out like that" Eureka finally said.

"I couldn't, I had to injure myself to do that" Renton said.

"Why did you shoot yourself so many times" Eureka's voice was breaking up.

"I wanted to make sure he wouldn't hurt you" Renton spoke softly.

"Renton…" Eureka was crying again. Renton gently wiped the tears off Eureka's face. Eureka could feel her heart missing, Renton just shoot himself times to save her; now he was going to die. Everything around Eureka dulled, all she could do was stay there and cry; she knew Renton was dying and there was nothing she could do. But she wanted to do something, anything. She looked over to the blood transfer machine and got the idea she might be able to save him after all. She took it and found the vain in her arm; she stabbed in the needle and went to the other needle. She found Renton's vain and stabbed the other needle into Renton. For a moment Eureka was happy that Renton would live, Renton knew what she was doing but he still couldn't move. He finally gathered his strength to speak.

"Eureka, please… We both know your blood type doesn't match mine" Renton said.

"If I don't do anything you'll die" Eureka said as she began to cry again.

"I don't want you to die, I won't let you!" Eureka was screaming.

"I don't want to die either but there are things in this world that we can't do" Renton said softly. His strength was growing weaker and weaker.

"Renton, I can't live with out you. You heard Omega, he said you have be with me for me to think normally" Eureka's voice turned to desperation, she leaned over him.

"I don't want you to die because of me" Eureka said with her head down.

"It's okay" Renton said weakly.

"It's not okay Renton! It's not" Eureka was yelling.

"Renton I need you to be with me, I need to be beside you" she said with a softer tone.

"Eureka, I'll always be with you no matter what" Renton said.

"Don't say that, you know if you die then I'll never see you again!" Eureka raised her voice again.

"I remember when you ran away, I didn't know what love was and I was scared" Eureka began saying.

"Eureka…" Renton said softly.

"But later, I realized I need you to be with me and it turned from wanting to need for me" Eureka said. She hadn't realized Renton shut off the blood transfer machine.

"When I first met you, you were always there and I had a feeling I wanted to be near you" she said.

"Then when you ran away, I needed you. Nirvash needed you and without you, Nirvash won't talk or move for me" Eureka said as she rested her head on Renton's arm.

"And I'm scared, I'm scare that I'll go back to how I was" Eureka said as tears soaked into Renton's sleeve.

"Please don't leave me…You promised Renton, you promised me!" Eureka could feel a bit of anger.

"You can't break a promise to me Renton! You can't, you shouldn't and you haven't" Eureka's voice got higher then lower. Renton's heartbeat became slower and Eureka knew he didn't have much time left.

"Please Renton…You can't leave me…" Eureka said softly. Eureka was crying softly when she saw a small knife in the corner; it was for operating. Eureka reached for it and went back to Renton's side; she slowly got on the bed and lay down beside him.

"Renton when you die, I want to come too" Eureka said with a small smile, she held the knife in both her hands.

"Eureka please…" Renton spoke ever so softly.

"No Renton, when you die, you can't protect me anymore" Eureka said as she got closer to him.

"When you can't protect me, then I'll come along too" Eureka said as she rested her head beside Renton's.

"What about Mitsuki and the kids" Renton said weakly.

"Maurice will take care of them, he's mature enough and seems to know what I want" Eureka said.

"And I want to be with you" Eureka said smiling again.

"As long as I don't die you won't die" Renton asked with a whisper.

"Yep, because as long as you're here, you're going to protect me" Eureka said. Renton tried his best to stay awake but he was just too tired. He knew if he fell asleep he might die and Eureka would kill herself, to try and keep himself awake; Renton tried to speak to Eureka.

"Eureka, why do you want to die with me so much?" Renton asked trying to stay awake.

"Because you are sharing your life with me, a person who didn't have anything before" Eureka said, she was now holding Renton she let her wings spread and it covered them both.

"When you shared your life with me, you gave me everything. So if you die then I have to come along don't I?" Eureka replied and kissed him on the cheek. Renton by now couldn't hold it, he fell asleep. Renton was dreaming but he wasn't sure if he was dead or was he still alive. Nothing felt real, the only thing that he felt that was real was Eureka who was next to him sleeping. He could see nothing else but darkness, but he could see a green light slowly getting bigger; inside he saw Nirvash and 7 orbs scatter with the rainbow ring around the earth. Renton couldn't move his body, Eureka no longer was holding the knife; the thought shot through his mind. Were he and Eureka dead?
