OMG, this is ItWasTheVoices with the second to last chapter of 'Angels and Bloodties'. The Xeno crew had defeated the corrupted knights in their Gnosis form. Now let's find out what happens in chapter 30. :D

My Dear Failsafe

-Unknown-

'It's quiet...' chaos's thoughts echoed like his words were traveling through a tunnel.

He found himself surrounded by an intense white light, his body glowing a bright gold. It felt so surreal, chaos could barely think in the stillness, failing to formulate reasons for why he was there. He tried to fight it, this empty numb feeling covering him like a warm blanket. 'Where...where is...everyone?'

He floated in a empty space of time, almost overwhelmed by the white void around him. No sound could be heard as he calls out to them, the glowing golden boy floats around the void feeling lost in zero gravity.

'I need to... I to find..think Yeshua think! You need to focus! Don't let the void lull you. I need to find everyone. Jin! Shion! Liddy! Any...one?'

The boy starts searching for his friends looking around as he floats. He looked like he was swimming with how he floated around the unsettling void. As he moved on, he could see floating in the imaginary space the charred girl. 'Liddy!' The silver haired teen shouts happy, but as he floats closer, he notices the girl's body looking stiff. The poor girl floated aimlessly like a lifeless doll.

What was left of her was glowing a bright pink, but no longer being consumed by the energy around her. He mutely calls out to her flailing his arms to get closer to the girl. When he gets close enough to the charred girl, a burst of energy leaves her, and the pink auras form into an older man. His white hair was short, his eyes a piercing red. He was handsome, but his face looked so dejected when looking at chaos. He smiles melancholy at chaos and starts speaking to him, but much like chaos, no words come out from his lips. 'Anshelm?' chaos eyes were wide watching the glowing man.

'I have waited, I have waited so long to be to find peace again,' the ghostly man echoed.

chaos looked at Anshelm with awe, the silver haired teen turning his attention to the lifeless looking girl next to the apparition. 'Why, why did you? How did you even do this?' asked chaos. Anshelm glances behind him to look down at the girl with sadness.

'I knew I cannot be. My existence, were it to ever come again, would never bring happiness to those I care for. You...you must know what that is like. To live knowing your existence may one day bring despair.' Anshelm darts his gaze at chaos appearing solemn. chaos's face began to match the ghostly man's demeanor.

'She knew what mother wanted. I only did what I thought was right to maintain order in this domain. Despite that...I couldn't let you go...your smile.' Anshelm lets a tear fall from his face smiling. 'She has your smile...priestess...'

chaos's eyes water watching the man look up with ghostly eyes trying to be joyful again. The apparition sighs in the unknown void until he starts to speak Latin to the young looking man. The teen could only see the man's words be mouthed off as he speaks. The stoic man kisses chaos's cheek, and looks back at the girl with a serene face. 'Thank you...my dear Failsafe...'

'No...'

'Thank you...Yeshua.'

He forms an aura in front of him, letting it float towards Lydia. The pink aura starts to float rapidly around the young girl again as the man evaporates into nothingness. He closes his eyes again, smiling as he fades away. The girl's eyes shoot open as if coming back to life.

The world comes back around them.

-Return-

He imagined the worst.

The poor strawberry haired boy imagined the worst had fallen on his dear friend. He couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe chaos would do something so fucking stupid. Jr. held back his tears praying he didn't watch his friend die.

He was afraid to look, glancing at Jin who kept his eyes shut worried. Everyone with exception to KOSMOS, was still blinded by the intense light from earlier. Jr. could peek out his eyes to see KOSMOS stare up at something floating in the air before shutting his eyes tight barely recovering his eyesight. Jin and Jr. silently agree to look and wait for the expected outcome. Jr. slowly looks up first, the strawberry haired boy focusing his eyes. The light begins to dim enough for the others to see.

In the dying light was chaos emerging from the ball of pink and golden auras; his wings enveloped them with pure white feathers. Jr. gradually smiles and shouts when he sees his friend and the girl alive. The rest of the group smiles and shouts with surprised shock.

The Testaments and Melvina were amazed to see chaos emerge from the destruction saving the catalyst that caused it. Lydia was now awake and confused leaning back in chaos's embrace, her clothes tattered from the metamorphosis burning them. The confused girl looks within her grasps to see herself clutching the light blue pendant in her right hand. Her hair was like pure snow flowing down to her shoulders again. chaos looks outward at the now calm landscape, the sun about to rise from the mountain side. He sets the white haired Lydia down on the ground, the red eyed girl looking up at him with amazement, "C-chaos?" He smiles angelically at her, looking even more like a seraph in her eyes.

"Welcome back, Lydia..." The tattered young man sways slowly over his slender frame, and collapses to the ground. His wings disappear with the thud of the pavement, his skin turning pale. The world around him becomes surrounded in darkness as his friends and the girl call his name.

Shion: Has anyone seen ITWV around? I thought she would have stuck around for that final part of the chapter.

Ziggy: I recall seeing the author running off the moment KOSMOS saw chaos play dead that last scene.

Jr.: Huh, that explains KOSMOS going terminator on us after that.

Lydia: So um, is anyone going to stop the android from murdering that writer chick, or...

chaos: Nah, I think she will be fine. Stay tuned for the final chapter of 'Angels and Bloodties' :)
