Chapter 4
The master's dying wish
After many months of construction, and many scoldings from Sera, Elysium and it's master system Edin were finally complete. In the master's bedroom, Trigger sat with the master as he looked at his video screen watching the perfect world he had created. Elysium was a world like no other, a world devoid of sickness, pain, or even death. However the master became skeptical about the world he had created. He began to have second thoughts about life for the Elysian's and so, he decided to conduct an experiment.
He found a planet devoid of life and made it flourish into a wonderful world. On this planet he created life forms called carbons who are referred to today as humans. He left this world with it's imperfections and observed the carbons for a short time. The carbons had flourished, and for a reason unclear to the master, had happier lives then the Elysian's. One day after Sera's usual scolding, Trigger returned to the master's bedroom to find that the master was preparing to leave.
" master, where are you going? ", asked Trigger worried " it is not where I am going " replied the master " but, where we are going young Trigger ". The master took a remote off the table and turned his monitor to the camera that watched terra the planet the master was using for his experiment . " that is where we are going Trigger or at least that is where I would like to go, but I need someone to accompany me, would you mind?" asked the master coupling his hands together as if he were pleading to Trigger.
Trigger thought for a moment " I guess it's ok master and I shall accompany you ". Meanwhile in the shadow the presents were deep in conversation. " Yuna? " said Sera " isn't this about the time when the master…. " she paused. " yes " replied Yuna " it is, and if all goes like it did the last time, then Trigger is about to experience pain that he has only gone through once before ". Tron stood up and spoke " isn't there anything we can do to prevent this from happening? " she asked.
Yuna, Sera and X only stared at her then X spoke " i'm sorry but history must run it's course ". He said in a depressed voice. Back in the past Trigger and the master had just arrived on terra. "shall we visit a town? " asked the master " as you wish master " replied Trigger. The two ventured for an hour or two before they finally reached a town. " can you smell that? " asked the master sniffing the air in the night sky. " it's the smell of the carbons baking their bread and preparing their evening meals, it is like the smell of pure happiness and the taste of a simple meal upon ones taste buds ".
Trigger stood in aw at the master and at the city the carbons had created. The master turned to Trigger with a caring look on his face. " Trigger, there is a favor I would like to ask of you, if that's all right " said the master. " of course " replied Trigger " anything for you master ". " as you know " began the master " I cannot exist for too long outside of Elysium, and so I have one final wish my young Trigger ". Megaman gasped " please don't talk like that master, there is still time for us to return to Elysium, you may yet live".
The master shook his head " no I have already been outside of Elysium's boundaries for too long ". Megamans eye's began to tear " pleas don't cry young one I will die happy among the carbons that I created and love, but please grant me my last request ". Pleaded the master. " of course master…sniff" said trigger about to burst into tears. " for my last wish and my dying command to you my dear Megaman Trigger, I want you to destroy Edin ".
Trigger was shocked " but why master? " he asked. " I realize now " began the master " that building Edin and Elysium was a big mistake, I realize now that people need their imperfections and their hardships because that is what makes them different from each other, that is what makes life worth living, it's not just living, it's how you live that makes you who you are ". The master reached into his garbs and pulled out a small brown box and attached it to the back of Trigger's armor. " what is this? " asked Trigger " it's….. a good luck charm " replied the master " as long as you hold it, none within the bounds of the system can ever harm you ".
The master's hand began to disappear " I see my time has run out " he said looking at his fading hand. " master please don't leave me " pleaded trigger now crying his eye's out. " my dear Trigger " uttered the master " as long as you hold that lucky charm, I will always be with you ". " please don't go master " pleaded Trigger once more. " I'm sorry my dear Trigger but time here is over, please fulfill my dying wish and destroy Edin ". The master faded away into a ball of light and then vanished completely.
Trigger began to cry his heart and soul out, the masters last words still ringing in his ears " please fulfill my dying wish and destroy Edin " " I will master " shouted Trigger to himself " I will fulfill you're last request, in you're name, I will destroy Edin ". Trigger sat on the outskirts of the town crying all night. His friend came out of the shadows to try and cheer him up but to no avail. They went back into hiding and let Trigger be alone.
The next morning, Trigger was ready to confront the system. "in you're name master " he said to himself " I will destroy Edin ".
