Kronii: What time is it?

In case that you confused when did this story connect with other stories. This story happen parallel with event from HoloX.

Sydney Opera House: Australia

Airani Iofifeen

Iofi look at her sketchbook again and sighed. Her drawing could not capture the whole idea and beauty of this place. Especially, now that she is sitting inside it.

Everybody keeps moaning about '7 wonders' thingy and look at this opera house from the outside. And then forget about what was inside.

The big hall and great stage where people sing and perform other things. That should be the reason why people come in and enjoy opera house. Not because it's cool design,

and Iofi plan to capture that image on her sketchbook. No matter how hard it will be.

'Thinking something nonsense again?' A voice suddenly appears in Iofi head as Ayunda Risu start talking to her through telepathy.

'Not nonsense!' Iofi thinks angrily. The point of artist is to share their skills and opinions, through their work. As a princess from (Fallen) painter aliens planet, it is her duty to

express this. Even if human forget about it.

Risu laughing nonstop even though she is not even sitting near Iofi.

Now that humanity already aware about alien among them.

It seems to be a smart choice not to interact with other aliens too much. So, Iofi decided to just talking with Risu via telepathy during their meeting, which is nothing more

than a chitchat between two alien that hiding in human society for thousands years. Just to make sure that both are still alive.

Risu come from a place call 'magic forest' which nobody was sure where it is. The place (by Risu description) seem to be a giant forest where Magician. A group of sentients

being, regard of what race you are. Living and practicing art of magic which is some ancient power to bend the reality as user please.

Both Iofifeen and Risu migrated to earth during the war with council. Like many aliens who decided to start over again on some primitive planet, living of grind.

Maybe this is the reason why some primitives ape on this planet evolve so quick and start their civilizations in less than 10,000 years. There are too many outside influences

from many kinds of civilizations on the planet. Making them grow up on steroids.

Thanks to attack of star people 200 years ago. Human has reached interstellar era and start colonizing planet in their solar systems.

Mars is their second colony now, and they are debating about whether to colonize gas planet or simply built space station, because other planet like Venus or Mercury aren't

suitable for human that much.

As Iofifeen exchange information with Risu, she is nearly finish drawing pictures of Opera performances groups. The mood is always hardest parts…

" It isn't that bad, but I am rock music enjoyer." Pink hair woman that sit beside Iofifeen start talking, getting her attention.

Iofifeen didn't remembered how long she has been there, in facts, she thinks the seat next to her is empty.

" Everyone has their own tastes." Iofifeen force herself to smile.

" Like alien who pretends to listening opera and drawing a picture instead ? Totally understandable." Mori Calliope said, smilingly.

Iofifeen quickly get up and running toward the exit, but calliope grab her shoulder and then both suddenly teleported to the dark fire escape route inside the building instead.

" I mean no harm." Calliope said, blocking the sketchbook Iofifeen throwing at her face.

" My boss just want to talk. About situation and all."

" What situation?" Risu said after jumping out of the portal, throwing Takanashi Kiara at Calliope feet.

" This girl keep following me for a while." Risu explained.

Kiara quickly gets up, her eyes sparkling.

" Calli, you won't believe this! She just touching my hand and then Bam! I am being here. She is 100% Magician."

" I guess so." Calliope hesitated.

" So, what do you want to talk about? If it is boring, me and Iofi will out." Risu charging her magic power as she speaks.

" Calm down buddy. First, do you know this?" Calliope showing her 'cover' crystal with one hand. It is shining blue light, accept her as a star people descendant.

Risu frowned. " Yes, I thinks we have one of those crystal in magic forest. But nobody could make it shine, aren't those who can will be regarded as hero or something?

It's long time ago."

" You are far from home for too long." Calliope explained.

" 200 years ago. Magician name Murasaki Shion can make it shine. She made a mistake by trying to use portal magic and fall on this planet.

She used to befriends with my boss ancestor, Minato Aqua."

" Thanks for clarifying. But what do you want from us?" Risu questions.

" I think I get the idea." Iofifeen open her bag and showing 'cover' crystal. This one belongs to her family's treasure.

Only thing she could pick up before the council destroyed her whole planets and everything insides, except for those who can barely escape.

Like Iofifeen and her Praetorian guards.

The crystal is shining in Iofifeen as she spoke. " You guys are collecting this crystal, or those who can make it shine."

" That is it." Kiara concluded.

Why? I must ask." Risu said sharply. There are not enough information of star people to answer, what exactly is the meaning of hero and how could crystal chose any person

to become one. So, it become a guessing game.

Some thinks that those who can have this crystal will have enough power to overcome rule of science, become a miracle maker, or even rules entire universes.

She don't like the idea of earth's inhabitants start collecting it, not at all.

" The council is coming." Calli said flatly. " Or at least we're sure they will come. Sooner or later. After their first attack failed."

" On this planet?" Iofifeen exclaimed. Surely, they have send them off since like 10,000 years ago. Despite heavily loss for Galactic Empire, but nobody thinks that council will

come back this quick.

Kiara nodded grimly. " We managed to stop Hachama attack, but five of us see with our eyes. The council is still alive, and they're ready."

" Aren't holo fantasies manage to sealed them?" Iofifeen frowned.

" I join that war and see it happens."

" With Houshou Marine and Uruhu Rushia is gone. While Usada Pekora running away as a war criminal.

There are only Shiranui Flare and Shirogane Noel left. Fantasies are no more." Kiara shook her head.

" That's why we need every armed man we can get." Calliope explains. " Gawr Gura, daughter of Atlantean king who join the council war is now traveling back to Atlantis,

trying to convinced them that our only surviving chances are to fights together."

" That's sound ideal, but what do you expects us to do?" Risu snorted.

" Join us." Calliope snapped. " And shows those f**ker that they cannot destroyed this planet that easily."

" We don't have enough manpower to build second Galactic Empire." Iofifeen warned. " We have been divided for thousands of years. Just look at what happened to Undead

planet!" She yelled.

" If council actually attack this time. There will be full scale war. Space, Time, Chaos, Nature and Civilizations. There will attack this planet at once. This is not like the last

time. I suggest that we should run from this planet first. It is too small and too close. Maybe it's time for us to run to different realms altogether." Risu said to Iofifeen.

" I will not leave this planet!" Iofifeen insists. " I am sick of running. If the council want to destroy earth, then they have to face me first!"

Calli nodded in agreement. " I thinks we are clear now. Please signed on this contract and become a member of cover Corp." Reaper quickly hands over a paper toward angry

princess.

Iofi almost signed on it, but Risu snatched the paper first. " Iofi! How many times I have to warned you about signing a paper. Read first!"

" Tsk!" Calliope looks away.

" Take your time Mrs. There isn't anything weird about it." Kiara reassures her.

Before they could talk more, emergency alarming sound suddenly ring as people start flooding through the Fire Escape route.

Forcing four of them to running out of the building together.

" What happen?" Calliope asks some man who running pass them.

" Look like there is a spaceship falling in Sydney, not far from here. There is evacuation order for everyone in the city." The man said before running away.

" Council? They shouldn't come this quick." Iofifeen questioned.

" Only way to know." Kiara said, quickly running where people see the spaceship, Calli quickly follows.

" What about us?" Iofifeen asks, her eyes following their movements.

Risu sighed. " I guess we have to follows them. If the council actually attack. We should know as soon as possible."

Earth's Solar Systems: A few months ago

Moona Hoshinova

Moona swears as she is looking at her ship's controller. Her energy is running low, and parts of the ship system is failing, especially the warping device.

It's seemed to be the great idea back then, after hiding for millions of years in the star people's bunker (Her own people, Moona reminds herself.) and growing up with

remaining energy and M.A.M.A. AI.

She finally reaches adulthood, even if she is one of the weakest star people that ever existed. Moona smile bitterly, remembering the chart of strength and intelligence of her

own people. Moona is underdeveloped in both trait due to her weak genetic and poor conditions of the bunker.

If there aren't record from her parents Moona probably has no idea what her life is all about. Luckily that her computer is fills with history book and there aren't much for her

to learn after all. So, Moona read everything she can find.

Hoshinova family is one of the last surviving star people clans. After the great disaster that emerge throughout the universe and wiping their civilizations out.

Only official surviving star people clans are Hoshimachi family, and after a declaring a curfew that everyone except from them are outlaws and has to punished by death.

They simply running away on the best conditions cruiser ship that they can find, probably with the tail between their leg too. Leaving everyone else to suffer face inevitable

extinction.

Moona parents are scientists. They realized that there are no resources for everyone to survived, even if there are only two of them. On this small mining camp on some god

forsaken planet.

So, they decided to that only survivor shall be their daughter.

After gave birth to her. Moona papa and mama simply walk out and died. Leaving her to the mercy of babysitting A.I.

The story isn't particularly sobbing or filled with tragedy. And to be honest, Moona didn't think too much about it.

Sh*t happen. Just like everywhere else. She was only one days old when her parents commit a sacrifice. So, she has no real memory about them, except from a few pictures

message.

There is a time when she wonders why they don't just give up and dies, since their genetic aren't suit for creating a new star people colonies and Moona has almost nothing to

brag about. She is not scientist, since there isn't enough nuclear energy for her body to fully develop and she has almost have no power that star people enjoys. Moona never

trains how to fly or shooting energy beam out of her body. There aren't enough resources for that, and her body aren't that strong anyway.

Moona seems to just live days to days and wait for her ultimate demised.

Artificial sun is almost run out of power and when it's gone, she will dies for sure. There is no other way around.

Perhaps, there are. Moona can transfer energy to the refugee ship and travel around the universe until power running out, or find another sun for her ship to refuel.

But she couldn't Moona has been living inside this small, sunless planet for too long. She couldn't imagine herself just leaves everything behind and travel into unknown

territory.

One day, everything has changed.

Her signal detection activated, warned her that there's a S.O.S signal from star people ship, somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Moona quickly packed her things and started her ship.

Doesn't matter if it is only a false signal, or the sender will be long gone before she arrives that place. Moona needs to be doing something, instead of just rotten away in this

small bunker.

She just needs a little push, before start moving. The first days she leaves that planet is all blurred by Moona tears, after long years she finally leaves this planet. A chance of

talking with someone that is not A.l. at last make Moona heart almost jumping out of her chest.

….

After a while, the signal is gone. Moona never learns how to warped or creating a wormhole and need time to studying her ship manual, since this the first time she actually

drive a spaceship.

When she finally be able to do so, the signal is disappeared, and the universe has turn back into deep dark place again.

Moona panic but refuse to give up. She travels around with her spaceship, desperately trying to find the signal sender at all costs.

But universe is too big, there aren't anyone around her.

Only infinities darkness and empty planets are Moona companion. She finally understands now, it is her destiny to die alone and meaningless in this vast and uncaring space.

The signal is just a trick that there is anything that care about her, make everything brighter just because it can end with absolute darkness.

Moona screams, Laugh, shouting and crying. But there aren't anything happened. So, she decides to keep on travel. Until the energy is running out.

Universe has snatched everything away from her. But Moona will not let it have her spirits. Not after she goes this far.

200 years have passed but Moona keep on travels. Many parts of her ship has been damaged. But she still keeps going, refuse to acknowledge defeats.

Her ship signal told Moona that there is the sun not too far away. So, Moona decided to flying toward the direction, if she could refuel and repair the ship, maybe she could go

on a little.

….

Moona Hoshinova

Moona looking around with interests. Everything here seems to be, livelier than her usual routes.

There are gas planet floating around, but Moona don't have enough energy left to investigate it. An adventure has to be wait until she get more power, Moona chuckled.

There probably other lifeforms too, but Moona is not so sure. From the book in her bunker. Star people are only sentient beings in the universe. But that was like billions of

years ago.

So maybe there are other space faring creature lurking around. Moona just not yet to find them.

The thought makes her heart throbbing. What if she finds other lifeforms that intelligence enough to travel, but unable to understand her? Do they have to fight?

Since Moona never ever talking with even her own people, much less unknowns starfish aliens from other galaxies.

Before Moona could imagined about how to talk in alien languages. Her ship suddenly shook as the energy beam blasting almost through it.

" The hell?" Moona quickly looks at her radar screen and there it is. A spaceship with Hoshimachi Logo flying toward her. It's cannon charging.

Is it all a trap set for killing the surviving star people?

Moona is not sure. She only knows that her refugee ship has no cannon whatsoever. Sh*t!

Moona desperately controls her ship to moving in zigzags.

But Hoshimachi ship laser keep following her.

There are only choices left. She has to drive to some solid planets and hide there. Quick.

Moona links her destination with the first solid planet she could find and controlling her ship at it, but the following spaceship didn't give up that easily. It is flying right toward

her and start shooting its gun again.

Moona uses precious energy to creates a shield, blocking the attack in time. But her ship starts to give away as it is losing focus and fly aimlessly at the small rock that

floating near the planet instead.

Hoshimachi ship still following her so, Moona changes her strategy.

If she removes half of ship energy in the fuel tanks and crystallize it.

Maybe she could create homemade bomb.

It is not the most high-tech thing In the universe, but the bomb probably distract her attacker. Destroying their ship if she is lucky.

Moona suddenly moving her ship backward, forcing her nemesis to retreat back or risk clashing their ships.

When they are flying beside each other. Moona ejects barrel of energy at Hoshimachi ship and fly away as it exploded.

All seems going well until plasma cannon from enemy's ship shooting at her again, destroying Moona's ship engines.

Moona swears and trying her best to control her refugee ship. But it was impossible, and she is landing on the small rock near her plan-to-landing planet instead.

The good things are 1. Hoshimachi ship is disappearing right now.

2. The small rock is big enough to be a micro planet. There might be a resource to repair her damages ship after all.

Moona didn't know at that time. But the 'rock' her ship has fallen to is being called Moon by humanity.

….

Present Day

Cover Corp Headquarters: Tokyo

Harusaki Nodoka

Nodoka yawn for thousands time in this hour. She has been looking at the screen but there isn't anything suspicious. Hasn't been for three months.

This job requires her and coworkers to stare at 12 different monitors and looking in case of something unusual happens.

She learns about her work objectives really well. Looking for aliens. Call Subaru if she finds them, easy peasy.

But there are simply too many places to look. World is bigger that people always think. Even M Chan and her team still couldn't locate where Gawr Gura location was.

And that after they have pin down the searching ground to be just Atlantic Ocean. It sounds laughable that everyone couldn't find a big city of Atlantis under the sea.

Until your job is to find that said city.

At least there are some good news. Reaper and Phoenix are both still on the radars. In fact, they come in close contact with Cover Corp. Member.

A letter from Australia said that they just find new crystal holder, even though with a lot of help from corporation.

An alarming sound make Nodoka winces, she look at the radar screen and saw what she was hiring to finds.

A U.F.O flying from the moon, toward Earth with incredible speeds.

Nodoka punch the buttons of her phone, calling for Ozora Subaru.

…

Moona Hoshinova

Moona swears and look at the ship panel again, after falling on the moon. Moona has to searching the area.

Looking for any kind of energy in order to fixing her refugee ship.

But there aren't much. Everything on this planet seems to be just vast emptiness, nothing but rock.

After searching desperately for a very long time. Moona finally sees some sort of civilization trail on this rock.

Some sort of ship or vehicles. That is so low tech enough for Moona to just ignores most of them. The quality of metal is also very weak, e Moona can tear it with her hand.

Which is something she will never dream of during her time in star people bunker.

Experiment on the wasted of these aliens from their vehicles to dung tell Moona that these creatures are carbon-based lifeform. Which is really strange because such a thing

should exist only in some sci-fi novel.

That may explain why these being's creation are so soft and fragile. Every star people, even a lonely undereducated like Moona, knowing that carbon is too soft to be a good

material of life.

Information above didn't help Moona with her power situation in the least, so she keeps going. Looking for any kind of power that stronger than these toddler electricity toy

she found.

Just for education. Moona picks up some strips fabrics with long pole connect to it and carry the item toward her ship, in case that she can push more information on

computer databases.

Moona didn't know. But she just stealing American flags from where the NASA astronaut has been put them on the moon surface many years ago.

This planet seems to have lower gravity than what star people gets used to. So, Moona can just jump around and moves for miles with an ease.

When she finally reaches the back of the rock, the part where sun couldn't shine on, she found a lot more useful thing.

There are many big holes buried in the rock surface. Inside are filled with Barrels of Uranium wasted, which is mean whatever civilization that creates this already reaches

Nuclear Era.

Moona consumes parts of Uranium she finds since there isn't enough sunlight to sustain her body. Star people evolves enough to feed on radiation in order to receive energy,

instead of consuming food like lowly animal. But sometimes when there isn't enough radiation from natural sun or artificial one, anything with enough radiation would be

suffices.

This might lead to down fall of star people eventually, Moona amused as she is munching on nuclear wastes disposal tanks, filling her body with rich radiation.

Without radiation star people are nothing. And they simply couldn't live on normal consuming energy anymore, forcing them to rely on stars power, which is exhausted with

time and finally blows away, leading to her people extinction.

Moona brush aside her negative thoughts as she carries multiple disposal tanks back with her. She will need every one of them in order to fixing her refugee ship, Moona will

come back for more after this.

As Moona jumping back to her ship, she looks at the Logo that has been written on disposal tanks again. Since Moona have no way to learning English characters, she has no

idea that the word can be read as ' Moon Joints Operation: Usaken and US Government: Nuclear Wastes Disposal'.

Star people girl grunts with irritation as she has to open every tanks and fills it in her ship artificial sun. There might be enough for her to travel in short distances.

Moona checks on the blue planet that probably have some kind of civilizations inside.

It is the closest planet near this god forsaken rock. Her first landing target. Others candidates like that red planet (Mars) are too far to go with her energy dwindling

spaceship.

Since whoever who creates these nuclear wastes still haven't reach nuclear fusion Era yet. So, their energy producing are very low and Moona have to walking out every

morning and consuming radiation from the sun instead of just eating those wastes.

Couldn't efforts to lose precious Uranium for her ship's artificial sun. Moona has to live like a hermits for a while.

After preparing and repairing the ship for a few months, Moona finally ready to start her flying again. This will be the last time if she couldn't get some help from the blue

planet inhabitants.

Hoshimachi ship disappearance since their last encounter should be a good sign. They should go on with their life instead of hunting Moona who just wants to spend her live

with something meaningful.

Finally, Moona starts her engine and flys. Her ship running through the empty space like a bullet as she faces earth's atmospheres.

Her ship starts burning with something it ever met before.

Moona swears and look at her monitor. Information told her that everything should be fine, it didn't say a word about damaged jet propulsion systems that star blowing up left

sided of her ship.

Why would we have to trust ourselves to mere data instead of what our eyes see again?

Moona forgets whoever who writes those word, but hopefully that they will still believe that when their ship explodes from the impact that everybody can see with their eyes,

instead of looking from the data screen.

Moona punches the landing mode as the radar beeping an alarm, warning Moona that there's unidentified object is flying toward her. Moona opens her screen to check, but

the landing is too fast as she is crashing with some kind of building, she couldn't identify. Nice introduction for whoever lives on this planet.

Moona might laugh if panic isn't flood her mind, and then everything went dark.
