Chapter four: Get control!!
See? Now look what happened....
This is why I said "don't assume anything" remember?
At the party, 9:31 PM, a hour and 31 min. into the party...
At last Jr. was out of bullets, and yet, his shots had no effect on his dark half. Luckily none of the guests were hurt (this in part to the fact that most of them had run away or were hacking away at the furniture with Jin's swords) As Albedo made his way up the stairs towards his "pech (peach)" and his "brother" Jr. quickly reloaded his guns and prepared to fire again. "Now, now Rubedo...surely you don't think that will help. Do you?" Albedo laughed as he came closer to his prey. M.O.M.O. hid behind Jr. as Albedo came closer, "Albedo! I swear if you come any closer..." Jr. was cut off, "Now Rubedo, don't jump to conclusions. All is not as it seems..." "What?" "Something is coming, something that may change the outcome of everything." "Change the course of everything? What the hell are you talking about!" Albedo laughed again, "I only came to tell you that...I just wanted to see how you'd react." Albedo turned around and went back down the stairs, he got to the door, "Albedo! You didn't answer my question, what's coming? U-DO?" Albedo looked back, "They're coming. They'll be here soon...it won't be much longer. Those with whom they're connected know as well..." And without another word he left. Jr. ran down the stairs after Albedo, "Who's they? And what do you mean 'those with whom they're connected?' Albedo?" Jr. ran outside, but he saw no one. What does he mean "They're coming" this...none of this makes any sense...and "With whom they're connected?" What does it all mean? I don't understand any of this!! WHAT THE HELLS GOING ON!!
...you must first think of the answer yourself...
In Wilhelm's office...
Xenos...but why now? Wilhelm thought as he stood looking out onto the vast space. He looked over to the compass of order, a small green light flickered in the middle. "It's not possible...she's dead, she's been dead. So why now?" The man in the red cloak walked in, "Master Wilhelm, Master Wilhelm!" The cloaked man repeated a little louder. "Ah, yes...what is it?" "Master Wilhelm, about that light in the compass..." "Yes?" "It is not being caused by the android, so, what IS causing it?" "Hmmmm....something with an extraordinary power, strange though, the light was about the size of a pinhead yesterday, but now it is the size of a large marble. Whatever this thing is it's getting closer, and it could change the course of things...for better or for worse I can not say." The cloaked man nodded as if to say he understood and left. She IS dead isn't she? I saw her die with my own eyes, but this light could only be caused by her...did our power somehow create her form again? Then...HE must be having reactions like this too...I wonder if he remembers...all he wanted to do was forget...all we wanted was to forget, so it wouldn't hurt anymore...
Promise....me....
Be...fore...I....go....
Prom...ise...me......you....won't......forget....
.......me.......
Inside the KOS-MOS maintenance lab, onboard the Elsa....
"Rise and shine KOS-MOS." Shion said as she walked in. The module did not open, "Hmm...I wonder what's keeping her. Oh well, I've got some time I guess I'll go check on the party." Shion said as she left the room.
Inside the Encephalon, area of endless white...
"It is not yet time for you to learn of her, KOS-MOS, for the day you do; you may have to sacrifice you're form to complete the chain. Then the current you will no longer exist, ultimately one of you will have to be sacrificed in order to complete the other. That decision, will be a hard one, but it's the only way. And...the other must also grow stronger before the decision can be made. That is why...I will not allow you to see or contact her. I am sorry." Although she could not be seen, Nephilem's voiced echoed through the room. KOS-MOS found herself standing alone in the endless white the only other thing was the vector insignia on the floor. "Xenos..." KOS-MOS said softly as she faded away, but the name itself seemed to echo through the room long after KOS-MOS faded away.
KOS-MOS maintenance lab, onboard the Elsa...
The module opened, KOS-MOS sat upright, "Shion?" she said as she looked around the now empty room.
Back at the Uzuki home...
"Jr. help me! We have to get these people under control! THEY'RE RECKING THE WHOLE HOUSE!!" M.O.M.O screamed back inside the house. Jr. ran back into the house, he looked around, he saw chips of wooden funiture laying everywhere. Jr. got up on a table that had not been chopped down yet, "EVERYONE STOP!!" He yelled, but they just went on hacking away at whatever they could. Soon Jr.'s fustration and anger became to much for him to control and then...BANG, BANG, BANG...the mob stopped and froze dead in they're tracks. The people gawked at the three bulletholes smoking in the ceiling. All was now silent, "THE PARTY IS OVER!! EVERYBODY OUT!! OUT!!" Jr. yelled, the people quickly ran out the door, and why not some red-haired maniac was trying to shoot them!
Outside the Uzuki home...
Shion watched confused as the people scrambled to get out of the house. "Huh? It's over already?" Shion said as walked up to the house; then a man running for the house bumped into her and said, "DON'T TURN YOU'RE BACK! DON'T LOOK AWAY! HE'S TRYING TO KILL US! HE'LL KILL US ALL! RUN!" Shion watched the man run off even more confused than she was before. Umm...ok...what's going on here? "He's trying to kill us!?" Does he mean Jr.? Now worried Shion ran up the house pushed past the people and...
....because, just when you think the worst is over the unspeakable happens....
Inside the Uzuki home...
...saw Jr. standing on a table, guns cocked; then she saw the condition of the house, "JR.!!" Shion yelled, the house seemed to tremble at the sound of her voice. This sound pierced Jr. like a thousand knifes, "Ummm...uh, Shion! What are ya doin back so um...soon!"Jr. asked in an extremely nervous voice. He knew what was going to happen now, CURRY!! M.O.M.O hid inside the closet to avoid being seen and punished too. There was no way Jr. could lie about what happened, and there was no way he could explain this to Shion either. "I CAME TO SEE HOW IT WAS ALL GOING!! YOU TOLD ME EVERYTHING WOULD BE ALL RIGHT! YOU PROMISED ME NOTHING WOULD GO WRONG!!" Shion yelled as she closed in on Jr. "Look Shion, everything'll be all right I can fix it! All we gotta do is replace the funiture!" This seemed to calm Shion's anger a little bit. Ziggy walked in, "I saw Albedo's craft fly by, is M.O.M.O all right?" he said in a slightly worried tone. When Ziggy saw the carnage this seemed to make him even more concerned. "...she's fine Ziggy, he just said something weird that's all." Jr. said, perhaps trying to change the subject to escape his prediciment; perhaps not. However, Shion would not allow the subject to change, "YOU BETTER HAVE ALL OF THIS FIXED UP BY THE TIME JIN GETS BACK OR ELSE!!" Jr. shuddered, he knew she was serious. "Ok, ok I'll try!" Jr. replied. Shion grabbed Jr. by the shirt and brought him down so his face was level with hers, "You don't TRY, you DO!" She said in an extremely stern voice. M.O.M.O finally gathered the courage to show herself and quietly came down stairs, "Ummm...hi Shion, hi Ziggy." She said trying not to sound nervous. They all stood there for a moment like they felt something malicious in the air, "Does anyone smell gas?" Ziggy said. They sniffed the air a bit and then in unison, "GAS!! AHHHH!!" in less than three seconds they were out the door and then....
Outside the Uzuki home...
....KA-BOOM!! A wall on the house blew with a flare of flames behind it. "THE KITCHEN!!" Shion yelled as she hyper-ventilated. The rest of them stared in awe, Jr. got up, "Pray! Pray only the kitchen was damaged or we may not be able to repair and replace everything!" Jr. looked to Shion, "Shion, how much time do we have before Jin comes back!" "Ummm....about 10 days I think." She answered. Jr. nodded, "M.O.M.O, Ziggy, go call the fire department. Shion and I'll try to get some of the neibors to help put out the fire." M.O.M.O and Ziggy ran to the closest neibors house and asked to use their phone. Shion got as many of the neibors, they brought there hoses, buckets, and whatever could hold water, and started throwing water on the flames. About fifteen minutes went by until the fire department arrived, since the fire wasn't very big it took one or two sprays to put out the fire. Shion and the others were fortunate, only the kitchen was damaged; the living room was partly smoke damaged but nothing a few repairs couldn't fix.
Walking home from the Elsa, chaos and KOS-MOS...
chaos and KOS-MOS walked back to the Uzuki home in silence. chaos stopped and looked up at the starry sky.

Boy # 2: Xenos? XENOS!?
Boy # 1: Xenos...?! NO COME BACK!!
chaos snapped out of his daze when he felt KOS-MOS hand on his shoulder. "chaos, we are wasting time here. We must get back." chaos looked her, "Yeah, you're right." Then he started to walk on, KOS-MOS stared at him for a moment and softly said, "Xenos..." This made chaos stop and look back at her. Did she just say Xenos!? KOS-MOS started to walk on again, as did chaos wondering how she knew the name Xenos.
