Chapter 20: Omega's Departure and Magician's Fortune
Everything was going normal. Days has passed and there was a disturbance within space.
"Commander Prairie, we have a disturbance. It is coming from space," said one of the navigators.
"In space? That is impossible no disturbance comes from space since 700 years," said Prairie. Everyone was getting worried of the message that is was presuming.
"Chances we might find Sigma Virus up there. That is what I found when I rescue the legions," said Magician.
"Well if so then Sigma is not really gone then?" asked Prairie. Magician looks at her and sighs.
"As long the virus exist Sigma will exist as well," said X. The other people look at X.
"Send me up there," said Zero. Iris looks at Zero with worry eyes as if she is pleading him not to.
"Zero," said Iris. Zero made up his mind and want to go. Not even Iris could convince him.
"It was my fault in the begin with and I must handle it," said Zero. Magician sneak out of the argument that Zero has with Iris. Magician went to go to the ship and the ship was ready but Omega already climbed in and secure the door.
"Omega what are you doing?" asked Magician. Omega sighs as he hears Magician from the other side.
"I am going to right all things that I have done wrong," said Omega. Magician looks at the door shock.
"Omega please," said Magician. Omega heard her plea and just ignore it he touch few controls.
"Magician, I know you were saying it was your fault for going up on space that you created Model S. Well I do not want this virus hurting you again. I go up and save not everyone else but also you," said Omega.
"Omega you can't do this to me. Please don't go. I love you," said Magician. Omega heard that and want to go more.
"Gwen, do not cry I will come back. Please help me and the world now. Launch me," said Omega. Magician looks down and runs back. She grab a mic and does everything for a countdown. Soon she it was to hit the switch she open a link to Omega.
"I will wait for you. I promise that. Wherever you land I will find you," said Magician as she blows a kiss to Omega and hit the button.
"Countdown in 5...4...3...2...1... Blastoff," said Magician as the only space ship left. Meanwhile... Zero and Iris stop arguing and heard the space ship took off.
"Look one of our ship took off. I think that is the last ship," said Navigator. Zero was now looking and counting heads.
"Where is Magician?" asked Zero. He did not like the fact that a human going up there not in best protection going into space.
"I am here," said Magician as she put a screen up at the control room. Zero is somewhat surprise.
"Wait if you are here then who is flying the space craft," said Axl. Magician still has her sad face.
"Wait do not tell me that Omega went flying solo," said Fate. Magician did not answer and her face gave it out more.
"He did. I did not stop him in time. He was already strapped in and wanted to take off," said Magician in a sad tone.
"Hey Omega can you hear me?" asked Zero. Omega open a transmission and his picture shows.
"Yes. I am here," said Omega. Zero has a rage look in his face. Iris knows this look real well.
"What the hell you were thinking?" snapped Zero. Omega know this will happen somewhat.
"Look I know you have some unfinished business up here. So do I. I do feel that it doesn't matter who gets up here alternate. We are still one and the same. The only difference is our personalities and hearts. I still feel like I am doing something wrong when I almost strike Magician. I want to redeem from that. If destroying all the colonies is going to do so. Then so be it. Sigma Virus will be stopped for everyone sake," said Omega. Zero did not like the fact but now this mission was out of his hands.
"Very well then, go through this mission on your own," said Zero. Omega cut transmission as the only picture was there is Magician. Iris runs out of the room and tries to head to the control room. She got to where Magician sitting down and crying her heart out.
"Magician, are you alright?" asked Iris. Magician looks at Iris still in tears. She did not answer.
"It is ok. Both of you will be fine. Just wait and see. And besides he will come back to you I just know it," said Iris.
"Iris. What would happen if Zero went instead of Omega?" asked Magician, "What would you do and feel?"
"Probably the same as you. I probably could not handle myself very well. I probably broke in tears more than once," said Iris.
"I think I probably am going to do the same if I do not freeze myself," said Magician.
"Don't do that. You have wonderful friends here and we will help you out. I am in the same building as you so you can always walk in to my room if you need to talk to me," said Iris, "Rider is not far as well. You can always talk to her if you feel uncomfortable talking to me."
"Yes you are right. I just have to cheer up. I may not know when he is coming back but something tells me that he will," said Magician as she got up. Iris smiled and looks at Magician.
"Come on. Lets go back to the others. We still have Reaper, and Model W to worry about," said Iris.
"Yeah I know," said Magician as Iris took off to the main bridge. Magician looks at the launch area and sighs.
"I will keep my promise Omega. I will wait for you and I will find you when you landed. As long we both have love in our hearts. We will surpass the wait and anything that is thrown at us," Magician thought. She shut off the lights and walk with Iris to where the others are at. Laura and Girouette were arguing like siblings. Athena and Fefnir were at his room. Leviathan keep Harpuia have little breaks now and then. Sometimes she help out. Phantom and Strider were doing ninja stuff. Though one can wonder if they are a couple. They both act secretive to the group and both now a days hide in the shadows somewhere away from people. Axl again tries his hardest to ask a girl out and get turned down. Magician sighs as she went to the transporter and set the coordinates to her home. She just stayed in her room sealed. Fate and Destiny followed her. The two came in and knock on her door.
"Magician can we talk to you?" asked Fate. Magician opens her door looking sad still.
"Want us do a fortune reading on you?" asked Destiny. Magician sit down in the living room and Destiny pulled out a deck of cards and started to shuffle it. Later Destiny put the deck in front of Magician.
"Now cut the cards," said Destiny in a serious tone. Magician did so. Destiny set the cards in a specific order in a diamond shape with four cards. One by one she finishes her setting. The first card she flipped was a heart. Then was a clock. Then rain. Last one was a ring.
"Now this is interesting. Your love one will return to you when you are feeling your worst. Both of you have kept your promise," said Destiny same tone.
"So he will come back to me," said Magician. Destiny look at her with a serious look while Fate is the one with a smile.
"Yes he would. You can count on that and just remember that when you both promise something it will be kept for the both of you. What I cannot tell is when he is coming back. It could be months or years. All I know that fortunes are not straight paths. Even my sister knows that for a fact even though she dwells on her own," said Destiny still in her serious tone.
"I do not dwell. I just want to avoid hurting anyone," said Fate. Magician sighs and get up.
"I know he will come back. I can feel it in my heart. If something happens I would be the first one to know," said Magician.
"I can tell you what I can read," said Fate. Magician sit again and Destiny put her cards away and Fate pulled her cards out and shuffle them. When she is done shuffling she placed it in front of Magician.
"Cut it anyway you like," said Fate as she sound serious. Magician did. Fate did her nine way diamond shape in specific order. She flipped the first the top and bottom tips. The first one reveals a pencil the other one reveals a flower.
"You are struggling of starting to go to work or be with friends in your harsh time," said Fate. She reveals the three middle ones. One is a chain, the other is a rainbow, the last one is a book.
"Your three friends who will help you more will be in the middle with you. Those three also live in this very house with you," said Fate. She still has that serious look like Destiny has before.
"So my problems will go through with Rider, Iris, and Athena," said Magician. Fate looks at her serious.
"Yes those three will aid you with your dilemma and point you to the direction you wanted to go. Though the pathways is up to you. I can't choose where you are going or what you should do. All I know is that what is your future dilemma. It can be close as in few minutes to far as years. All I do read is what dilemma is the current one that is going to happen," said Fate.
"Well right now I do not want to think about work. All I want is alone time in my room," said Magician.
"Well, Magician we let you be in your room. We just want you take our advices of the fortune we read to you," said Fate and Destiny in unison. Fate picks up her cards and put them away.
"What are you two are going to do? Since the only witch hunters are just the two of you," said Magician.
"That is true but we are planning to work with the Guardians as investigators and mystery solvers," said Destiny.
"Also we might start our psychic hotline and fortune telling within innerspace. Depends on what they want to hear. If they want to hear their fate and dilemma's that might comes up. I will read," said Fate.
"I will read the regular fortune. We both wanted to start something like this for a while," said Destiny.
"So both of you are planning to start something that was part of your dream," said Magician.
"It is something we both were planning for a long time. You can say it is our dream," said Fate.
"Well then have fun making a reality," said Magician. Fate and Destiny just saw her face as gloomy as ever.
"Hey if you want any help we will help you. We do not go against any body only when the guardians call us but we do this as a sideline. We will keep in touch with you when you need that extra person to talk to. Well two people if you consider myself," said Fate.
"I will. Thanks you two for trying to cheer me up," said Magician. Fate and Destiny look with their glances as Magician walks into her room.
