Chapter 15
Return to terra, Zero's goodbye
The group ran through Edin's many hallways, searching for the way out. "Follow me" called Yuna "I marked the way out". They followed Yuna down a few hallways until, they found their ship docked by a big door. They all jumped in and buckled up.
"Hang on everyone" called Sera "here we go…….. lift off". The shuttle took off in a hurry, and sped away from Edin. As they sped away, they heard a loud explosion. They looked out the window, to see that Edin had finally been destroyed.
"Master" whispered Trigger to himself "it's over, you're wish has been granted". The entire group sat in the ship quietly, relishing their victory. The silence was soon broken by a crackling sound coming from Zero's chair.
"What's wrong Zero" asked Trigger as he stared. "I don't know" replied Zero "I guess it's time for me to go back, X must have dealt with Sigma already". Trigger took a deep breath "then, I guess this is good bye….. will I ever see you again, I mean it's because of you that the master's wish was granted and all". Zero took a spare Z-saber from his pocket and handed it to Trigger.
"What's this?" asked Trigger "it's one of my spare sabers" replied Zero "whenever you wield it you can think of me and X". Zero became more transparent and began to fade away "so long Trigger" whispered Zero "I'll see you in the future". With his last words spoken, Zero vanished into the breaches of time and space, returning to his own time.
A few days later……..
Life had returned to normal for Trigger and the gang. Trigger, Gatz and Geetz, were going on digs almost every day. Roll, Sera and Yuna, were inventing away in their lab. Of course, Roll took some time off to hang out with her mother and grandfather. Data spent a lot of time on the computer, trying to redesigned some of the old Elysian technology. The Bonnes had returned to their department store, with a little pirating on the side, though they promised never to attack Trigger again.
During his digs, Trigger faced many reverbots, and he took every one of them down with the Z-saber. He remembered his friends, every time he used it. For him, life was normal once more.
Meanwhile in the future……
X and Zero were walking down a corridor in the hunter base, all the while having a conversation. It almost seemed as though X were nagging Zero. "I just can't help but think that I pulled you away at a crucial moment Zero" nagged X continuously. "Don't worry" replied Zero "everything went fine, in fact, if they didn't know better……." he stopped and looked out the window.
"It's like I wasn't even there".
