Chapter 26
Light Up the Sky
The Thurstons awoke the next day feeling refreshed. Eureka and Renton were preparing breakfast for Axel and their children when Holland entered the kitchen followed by his wife Talho whom was feeding Dewey. "Good morning." said Talho to the couple. "Um. Hey Eureka and Renton I was wondering if..." Holland paused. Eureka was looking at Talho and her baby curiously. She turned to Renton and flashed her blue gem. Eureka was asking him a question. Whatever the question was it made Renton feel a little uneasy. Regardless of this he did his best to answer her with his red gem. "What's the matter? Is something bothering you?" Talho asked them. Eureka turned to Talho and asked, "What is breast feeding?"
"Ok then and on that note, I think that's my cue to exit this room...now." Holland said before leaving hastily. Renton wanted to follow but he knew he needed to stay by Eureka. Plus, he had to continue the cooking while Talho explained the subject to Eureka. Renton was sort of wishing he'd been somewhere else. Especially when a topic like this came up. It felt to him like being in school all over again! After Talho finished Eureka felt better knowing now what she'd seen. Renton felt better too but, this was because the subject was over. Then Talho told them Holland's reason for coming by. He wanted to ask if they could make extra breakfast meals for the rest of the crew. But, since Holland left the room so suddenly due to another subject he never got a chance. The young couple answered, "Sure, no problem." Talho thanked them before leaving to find her husband and relay the couple's response. While eating breakfast with the rest of the crew Eureka and Renton informed their friends about the fact they'd be having twins. Everyone was excited and happy for them. Talho realized she hadn't misheard Eureka yesterday. "She really did say babies." Talho thought to herself.
After every body finished their meal the Tresoir researchers and technicians announced it was time for the Nirvash typeHOPE and SS20 operators to begin the synchronization tests. "We need to see what kind of reaction, if any, will take place when the ex-Ageha Squad's..." Greg said before Eureka and Renton interrupted him. "Um excuse us but, if it's alright Renton and I were wondering if we could change the name ex-Ageha Squad to something else." said Eureka. "Alright then." replied Greg. "What name do you have in mind?" the Jurgens' kids inquired. "Well, how about 'Moonlight Shadow' instead?" suggested Renton. "Yeah. I like how it sounds." said Asia. "What about the rest of you?" she asked her siblings. Her bothers and sister nodded in agreement. "Alright then it's settled. From now on our unit shall be known as Moonlight Shadow!" stated Euro. "Very well." said Greg. "Now as I was saying. We'll need to see to see what reaction might happen when Moonlight Shadow's SS20s synchronize with your Nirvash typeHOPE." Dr. Egan said finishing him sentence. "Alright Dr. Bear we understand." Renton and Eureka replied.
The typeHOPE and SS20 pilots boarded their LFOs. "Good. Let's begin your LFOs' synchro test then." said Greg. The young pilots launched their LFOs into the skies. "Alright Moonlight Shadow we'll need you in Gagundora formation just like yesterday." he told the pilots. "Renton and Eureka be sure to keep Nirvash steady." "Roger that." responded typeHOPE and the SS20s. "Now this time I need Moonlight Shadow to activate their SS20's Seventh Swells before synchronizing with typeHOPE." Greg told them. "Understood." responded the SS20s' pilots. Giant pillars of rainbow trapar light burst forth the SS20s. The rainbow lights spiraled around the LFOs. "Now Eureka and Renton activate the Amita Drive." Greg told them. "Okay." the couple said. "Ready Eureka?" Renton asked her. "Yes. Let's do this." she answered. The two grabbed hold of the lever connected to the Amita Drive and lifted it unlocking the Satori program once more. The Nirvash's lavender and blue eyes lit up. A green mist of trapar surrounded typeHOPE, completely covering the LFO. This caused everyone to lose visual site of Eureka and Renton.
"Renton, Eureka! Please respond!" Greg yelled into the communicator. "Are you alright? We have lost visual site of your LFO! I repeat we've lost visual!" "What's happened?" Dominic and Anemone demanded. "That's it we're aborting the test now! I'm going to bring them back!" Holland about to get in his Terminus typeX202 "Angelfish". "No Holland wait." said a child's voice. "But Maurice..." Holland protested. "Mama and Papa are alright. Look!" Maurice said pointing up. Everyone stared in awe. They couldn't believe their eyes. As the green mist began to clear all of them saw Renton and Eureka's LFO. The couple were indeed alright just as Maurice had said. But Nirvash typeHOPE had changeed shape. Stoner began snapping pictures of the LFO with his camera. "I don't believe it!" he said still taking photos. "It's Spec-3." Above them in the rainbow colored skies was the Nirvash typeZERO in Spec-3 form. "I never thought we'd get to see it again." said Holland. "Reg...Greg...Dr. Greg do you copy? Is everyone alright?" a voice said over the communicator. The interference was clearing and they could hear Eureka and Renton's voice. The monitor image fixed itself. The couple was fine. But their voices sounded different. Eureka and Renton's voices were synchronized. In other words, they spoke as one. Also, the colors of eyes had changed.
