Chapter 13: Finding one
"Omega died for nothing" Renton said.
"No, he did it for us" Eureka said comforting him.
"Thank you Renton" Eureka suddenly said.
"Huh? Why?" Renton asked.
"Thank you for sharing your childhood with me" Eureka said looking down.
"Thank you for letting me see your pain, I can understand now" Renton said smiling.
"But-" Eureka was cut off.
"Now you can't say I don't understand" he said.
"And I love what you wrote in my book" she said.
"I love what you named it" Renton said. Eureka and Renton were walking in the capital and waiting while the Gekko-Go made its repairs. They knew what they had to do, but how were they going to find the fragments that Omega spoke of? They were missing for 2 years and no one turned up anything about these things. Renton thought a bit more about it and came up with nothing; they decided to look through Omega's stuff to see if he left anything that could help. They returned to the Gekko-Go and went to Renton's old room; the place was littered with papers and laptops. They slowly walked and looked at everything on his laptop, all of them showed mental, physical, stats of everyone and the condition of the LFOs. They looked a bit further and found something; it was a letter or rather a note.
The energy signature of the green orb can be picked up by a compact drive, but it's very difficult to get a lock on it. However, after experimenting a little, I figured out how to track them more easily.
They looked more closely and found a compact drive attached to a weird looking machine, they held up the green orb they left in the room and the compact glowed bright red. The orb they got was the red part of the Seven Swell, and they needed to know more. Eureka and Renton looked at one of the Laptops and found more data on it.
The green orb or fragment holds a massive amount of energy but it remains dormant. When brought near a compact drive with a person giving out emotions the fragment glowed red and began releasing energy. The amount of energy stored and unknown but it can be said to be massive. The fragment locator had a range of 500 miles and as the color in the display increases in brightness, the closer to the fragment you are.
The data ended there and they couldn't find anything after that. They spent the whole day looking through his files and papers and then they found another piece of data.
Further study reveals that this fragment is from non other then the Nirvash typeZERO itself. Apparently when it had taken the other half of life on the planet, it scattered itself across the planet in; whether this was intentional or by accident, I have discovered if you gathered all the fragments together then this will create a rift in space; thus causing a portal to appear. I believe that this portal will lead to the world or space the Nirvash had taken the other half of the world. On a side note, the other half of the world that was taken away, were people that had a large connection to the zone. From despair sickness victims to Voderak priests, they all disappeared along with the Nirvash.
"So Omega did find a way to find the fragments" Renton said.
"Omega really is an amazing person" Eureka said.
"I wish he didn't die…" Renton said sadly. Slowly they found yet another piece of data, they began to print the sheets out and put the data together to show Holland.
This is the final thing I discovered about these fragments; they can be destroyed. Under high pressure or high energy the fragments could break, however, if dropping it the fragment won't break only under extreme conditions will these fragments break.
Eureka and Renton couldn't find anymore data about this from Omega's computers but they showed Holland who was impressed by how they found Omega's work under all that stuff. This information was only kept within the Gekko-Go, Omega also left behind a container for the fragments that was very difficult to make. He needed to do this because the fragments would cause interference to the fragment locator. The Gekko-Go's mission mow was to find these fragments, and fast; the FAC is planning something and they were serious about this threat. The Gekko-Go launched to find the fragments, they switched on the locator and like that it slowly started to glow; it was the yellow fragment. The Gekko-Go and the Super Izumo circled around to see which direction it was. Omega might have made a device that could detect a fragment, but he didn't make it so it would show them which way it was.
"This might take a while" Holland said looking annoyed.
"I wish Omega made this so it could tell directions" he added.
"Well at least he left us something Holland, without him we would have a lot more trouble" Talho said coming from behind.
"Couldn't he make it easier to use?" Holland was very irritated.
"Well, a few more tries and we might find a better way to use it" Renton said jokingly. Eureka was looking at the orb, if what the version showed was true; Renton would pass a wall and something bad would happen to him. Eureka was very troubled with the fact that Renton might die finding the fragments.
"Hey, Holland look at this" Renton said as he pointed to the compact screen.
"What is it?" Holland asked.
"I think when the ship faces the fragment, the glow changes shape slightly" Renton said. Holland ordered the Gekko-Go to move around a bit and circle an area; to his surprise when the ship was pointed at the fragment the light would have a sharp top other wise it would be round.
"We got direction now!" Holland said loudly. He got the Gekko-Go to keep turning until the light was sharp and they headed in the direction, the light got brighter and brighter until they were sure they were near it. They landed in the area and brought the fragment locator with them, they found a spot where the light glowed the brightest. They needed to dig for it, but then slowly a light appeared from the ground and came up to Renton and Eureka. The fragments reacted to them.
"It seems we just have to get near it to get the fragment" Renton said holding the large orb.
"Well still have to travel the planet to look for the other 5" Holland said.
"I hope the FAC doesn't find out" Eureka said, she still seemed troubled.
"What's the matter Eureka?" Renton asked.
"I'm just worried about the FAC" Eureka lied again. Eureka tried to find the meaning of why Renton would die, but nothing really came to mind. Thinking harder she recalled the large wall in the second image, the image of a large wall that was gray; the wall itself she recalled had weird writing and resembled the Scab she once tried to return to. The thought occurred to Eureka; if Renton goes into the wall he will die.
"We have two, but I'm not sure how long it would take to travel the world again and again" Holland said.
"Omega said he filmed the Command cluster's destruction and also the direction of the some of the fragments" Renton said. They retreated back into the Gekko-Go and began searching through his files and papers; anything that would give anymore information. Soon enough they found the footage. It was crude but it was something, the footage showed the fragments heading is different directions and they set the Gekko-Go to the last location of the Command cluster.
"This helps a lot" Eureka said. Deep down she knew, one of those fragments would be Renton's death; in her mind she called it: The death fragment.
"Well from here we can tell which ones we found" Holland said studying the footage.
"I'd say these two are the ones that we have so we just have to follow the general locations of it" Talho said. The Gekko-Go settled and looked for the land marks that the footage had shown, after finding one the Gekko-Go roared its engines and headed out. While the ship was in flight they needed watch the fragment locator at all times, the footage might have given them the general locations but they could still miss it. It took 5 hours before they found it.
"It's near here" Renton said as he pointed to the compact screen. The light on the compact was glowing a faint blue but it got a bit brighter. Holland ordered the Gekko-Go to circle around a bit so they could find the direction of it. As they landed they yet again searched for the fragment, this time the fragment was inside a large tree. As Renton and Eureka near it, the tree glowed blue and the fragment came out without harming the tree. Just as they placed the blue fragment in the container the fragment locator began to glow purple, they knew that another one was near by. Unknown to the Gekko-Go crew was the FAC was watching them; the FAC had few cameras installed into the forest area. The FAC knew about the fragments but didn't know how to get them; they knew that the fragments each held a great deal of energy.
"Looks like Omega didn't plan for this" said Reina as she watched the monitor.
"Kids, get the plan ready" Reina said drinking a glass of wine.
"The Coronal's plans will finally be reached" one of the kids said. It was Dewey's kids, Jurgens never tried to get them to like him; but all the same he just wanted them to accept life. The kids however, were burned by the words of Dewey; they knew about his plans and the fragments. Dewey had actually planned about the fragments, he knew something like that would happen; but he didn't plan on it being the Nirvash's. The plans slowly reveal themselves.
"With the plans and ambition that the Coronal set for us, we will build the foundation of the new world" Reina said commandingly.
"It's a shame Dewey isn't around to see his new world and new order" one of the kids said.
"The Coralians will never have this planet and we won't share it with a bunch of invaders" they added.
"Good, Dewey would be proud of you" Reina said with a smirk.
"Now the time draws near, we just need one of the fragments and his plans will be completed" Reina said raising her glass.
"For Coronal Dewey!" they said together.
"Eureka, I think it's over here" Renton said as he waved over to Eureka. It took them another 4 hours to locate the next one; the purple fragment was in a crack of the Scab. When the fragment landed, it hit the side of the crack and embedded itself into it. With the jagged rocks it took them a while to get it. They now had 4 fragments; it was fast if you compare the fact that it only took them 2 days to find them. They had to return to the start point again to find the others, for days they continued to search. The FAC were waiting for them to find at least one that would be easy to get, all they needed was one. They couldn't attack the Gekko-Go because the typeEX would be no match against the typeWAVE, also they couldn't because the Gekko-Go was surrounded by the UF military (Military under Holland's command). While they were on the ship and waiting for the locator to light up again, Renton remembered that Omega left them the Amita drive. He didn't install it yet and didn't really need to. He thought more about the Amita drive and why it was left here; the thought came in. If the orbs were part of Nirvash then the Amita drive is what is needed to activate them to bring Nirvash and the other half of the world back. He had to ask Eureka and see what she thought, he began looking for her. He soon found her, she was in their room sleeping; she seemed so tired so Renton left the room and went to look through Omega's files again. He went to his old room which was now littered with Omega's computers and papers he began looking through some files.
"TA 101 Nirvash typeEX design" Renton was reading the title.
"The black LFO's design, and here are the weapon's manual" Renton said as he stared at the computer. The computer displayed 5 weapon systems, but from what Renton knew; the black LFO only used 2, he read the other three.
"I know the one it was using was the arm stretcher and the other one was the trappar cannon but if those two are that powerful then what of the other three" Renton thought. One of the other three weapons were ten homing laser slots positioned on the arms of the LFO, one of the ones was a leg blade; it was in two halves but you can put them together. The leg blades were meant to be put together into a sword or an axe, the blades were short if they are separate; the way the sword was put together was you make the handles connect one side locks the cutting ability and the LFO uses that for gripping it. The last weapon system was a long ranged attacker; it was activated when the enemy is moving too fast to get a lock on. Large leg plates would appear and would collect trappar, the collect trappar would then be stored in a compression chamber; the trappar would be released at high pressure in the chest so it would travel at amazing speeds.
"Why didn't it use it…?" Renton thought.
"The new design for WaveRider must be from this one" he said. It was true, the typeEX was discovered first then the typeWAVE was discovered later.
"If it had used those other systems against us we would have lost for sure…but why?" Renton continued thinking. Renton went through the file even more; Omega had saved everything about the typeEX's design here. This was a good chance to find a weakness.
"The typeEX's design is amazing, and there isn't much of a weakness" Renton said to himself.
"The only weakness it has is to an over powering force" Renton continued. The typeEX's design was so well thought out that the stresses on some parts of the body are almost zero. Everything on the LFO's body fit together perfectly and even under huge damage the LFO could still fight. Renton reviewed the design over and over again, he could see why Omega didn't want them to fight with it in the first place; the typeEX's overall design wipes the floor with the typeWAVE's.
"The archetype is a special one too" Renton said.
"Let's see, it can stretch to great lengths and it's hard to cut" Renton continued.
"No wonder the Trappar cannon didn't peel off the armor" Renton said in amazement.
"The armor is designed to deflect trappar for better speed" he said as he looked at the specs of the typeEX. This LFO was designed to be the most powerful one, but without an Amita drive it still couldn't compare with the Nirvash.
"I wonder if Eureka is up yet" Renton said as he looked at the clock; it was 4:00pm, Renton was in Omega's room for 2 hours and lost track of time. He got of the room and headed to their room, when he got there; Eureka was gone.
"I wonder where Eureka is." Renton asked himself. He went to the bridge to ask Holland but Holland was all over the place trying to track something.
"Holland, do you know where Eureka is?" Renton asked.
"Renton…Eureka left with the typeWAVE and the fragment locator, she took the four fragments we had too" he replied.
"What? Why?" Renton asked in confusion.
"I don't know, but Eureka left with it" Holland said.
"When did she leave?" Renton asked in shock.
"About two hours ago" Holland replied.
"Damn it-" Renton said he punched the wall.
"Where are you Eureka?" Renton said.
"I'm sorry Renton…" Eureka said as she followed the locator's instructions, she could now feel where the fragments are; but she needed to get them alone. She needed to get the death fragment before she could return; she hoped Renton would forgive her.
"Renton, I won't let you sacrifice yourself" Eureka said.
