Recap from Chapter 3

They quickly rushed to the bridge of the Elsa where the crew, Allen, Jr, chaos, and Ziggy waited as they looked ahead.

Shion gasped in horror as a large mass of abnormal shockwaves raced near them. "Gnosis!" she screamed.

Chapter 4

le Coeur pur dans un temps de Crise

( a pure heart in time of Crisis)

Eyes locked on the oncoming wave, the crew gasped in horror. The distortion began to take form and take shape, morphing itself into horrific shapes that were all to familiar to Shion's eyes. The Gnosis swam towards them at an alarming rate, their skin rippling and crawling, sending chills down Shion's spine.

"W- where did they come from?" the brunette asked.

Captain Mathews leered at her. "How should I know? More importantly, how are we going to get rid of them?"

Shion glanced back at the space that was now swarming with grotesque alien creatures. She hesitated a moment but made up her mind. "We need to get to the Fifth Jerusalem tower!"

"Why?" Allen questioned.

"To activate the Hilbert effect! There's no way our A.G.W.S. and E.S.'s will stand up to the Gnosis unless they've been effected by inverted Hilbert Waves." Shion snapped. "Honestly Allen you should know that."

Allen scratched his head. "What about Kos-Mos?"

Shion sighed and shook her head. "Ever since Kos-Mos' emotion module went out of whack, her Hilbert Effect capabilities have been reduced severely. I was going to try and fix it in the morning."

Momo swallowed hard. "My sensors indicate we have at most fifteen minutes before they are in attacking range.

Shion nodded and quickly made her way through the halls of the Elsa and into the Fifth Jerusalem tower. Quickly they sped past a group of Realian's who were running a frenzy trying to send out warnings to the tower.

Shion maneuvered through the panicked Realians holding one hand to Momo as she followed behind. Chaos, Ziggy and Jr. Followed close behind them.

Shion, who had been in the fifth Jerusalem tower before due to Vector company business, knew exactly where to go. The Hilbert Radar was at the top most level of the tower.

She led them to a pair of stairs that wound all the way up to what seemed like forever.

"There's seventy floor we have to climb." Shion announced.

"What!" Snapped Jr. "Why couldn't we just take the elevator?"

"When the Gnosis shockwave hit the tower it sapped all the power. My sensors indicate that we're powerless for another thirty minutes." Momo announced.

"And what about the Hilbert Radar?" Ziggy questioned as Shion ran up the stairs. "Won't that be ineffective until the power comes back on?"

Shion nodded. "Yes… but as the head of Vector first R and D Division I have an emergency override code. I can boot up the system on a temporary safe mode and keep it up long enough to send out the Hilbert effect."

"Clever." Ziggy admitted.

Shion smiled. "I've been saving the code for something like this."

They made their way about halfway up the steps before Jr. and Chaos had to take a rest. Momo had to stop to recharge her energy gauge as well.

"I will carry you Momo." Ziggy offered.

The realian girl shook her head. "No it's alright. I can take care of myself.

Ziggy nodded and began to climb once more.

Just as they began to journey once more the tower began to shake violently. The force of the impact sent Momo stumbling to the side. She hit the railing so hard she flipped over the side and found herself dangling over the edge of the spiral-like stairs.

Another crash shook through the tower and Momo lost her grip on the railing and began to fall. Shion who saw just in time screamed. "Ziggy!"

Ziggy reacted instantly and managed to grab Momo's arm before she was out of reach and fell forty floors to her death.

With ease he pulled the small realian girl over the railing in one pull and tossed her on his back.

They continued the tiresome trek up the stairs as countless rumbles sounded through the tower.

"They're in attack reach" Chaos announced.

Shion nodded. "Come on! We only have two floors to go."

Shion felt her legs pumping and her arms moving quickly at her sides. She couldn't let the tower fall after all the climbing she had done. She reached the top most doors and burst it open.

The room was filled with scientists who were franticly trying to reboot the system so they could get the Hilbert effect working. Juli Mizrahi was one of them.

Quickly Shion raced to the main computer and jammed her fingers on the keyboards. She quickly decoded the override drives and punched in her own emergency code.

The room lit up with the flashing buttons and bleeping noises of the computers.

"Quickly!" Shion screamed. "My code can only last for so long. I'm putting up the best firewall I know."

Juli nodded and accessed the Hilbert Radiator and jammed in countless codes and pushed a final button.

In a huge flash the Fifth Jerusalem tower let out a wave of blue light that spread in a perfect circle around them.

"Hilbert Waves activated." Juli announced.

The room went silent. Not even the sound of breathing could be heard. They waited for a result.

Just as they began to relax an alarm went off. "Warning! Warning Gnosis have been unaffected by the Hilbert effect. Evacuate immediately."

"What?" Shion mouthed. "Impossible.

"This has never happened before!" Juli screamed.

The entire room went into a panic.

"What are we going to do?" one scientist screamed.

"The Hilbert effect has never failed us before." Yelled another.

Shion sat there frozen. How could this be happening? There had to be some way to stop the Gnosis.

"Perhaps Shion I could be of service,"

Shion spun around to see Kos-Mos standing in the doorway. "Kos-Mos?"

"I have a 99.235 feeling that these gnosis have grown immune to the Hilbert effect."

"Immune?" Shion questioned.

"Yes Immune. These gnosis are not like the ones we have fought in the past Shion." The android replied.

"What do we do Kos-Mos" Shion questioned.

All eyes were on the android.

"I have an idea. I will need to borrow the one hundred series realian Momo for a moment." Kos-Mos replied.

Ziggy placed Momo on the ground.

"Momo you have taught me a new and valuable lesson when you spoke to me earlier. Please follow me."

Momo hesitated but followed Kos-Mos. Kos-Mos made her way to an emergency escape elevator. She loaded Momo and herself onto it and began to ascend.

"What are we doing Kos-Mos?" Momo questioned.

"Inverted Hilbert waves will not work against these gnosis."

Momo nodded. "What do we do?"

"All living things react to Hilbert waves. In the gnosis' case before inverted Hilbert affected them waves. These aren't… which means that there is a 90.2364 percent chance they are affected with regular Hilbert waves."

"How do we do that?" Momo questioned.

"We Un-invert them."

Momo raised her eyebrows.

The elevator came to a stop and the gravity was completely gone. Kos-Mos grabbed Momo and pulled her to the Hilbert radiation tower. "By law of physics, taking two different wave sources of inverted Hilbert waves we can cancel them out and create a natural Hilbert effect."

Momo nodded. "But…won't that effect…"

Kos-Mos nodded. "Yes it will affect some of the crew members. Humans cannot stand large amounts of natural Hilbert waves, but this won't be enough to kill anyone. I can assure you one hundred percent on that."

Momo hesitated but agreed. "Okay."

"Ready Multiple Observation Mimetic Organus?"

The little realian girl nodded and took Kos-Mos hands. The air around them began to glow a pale green. It enlarged more and more until it engulfed the entire Jerusalem tower.

"Cross-Hilbert" Kos-Mos and Momo cried at the same time.

A green light blazed from around the tower and filled the entire space.

A grumbling could be heard from the distance.

"Did we do it?" Momo questioned.

Kos-Mos nodded. "Affirmative. Gnosis materialization complete."

The blue haired android grabbed Momo and pulled her back towards the elevator and descended into the ship.

Shion was waiting for them. "Kos-Mos!"

"Everything will be alright Shion."

The tower rumbled again, this time harder.

"Shion! We have some problems on lower deck" Jr. screamed. "The gnosis that made their way into the ship is now completely materialized. We have to get into our E.S.'s!"

Shion nodded. "Ready Kos-Mos! Allen!"

Shion clicked a button on her wrist and yelled. "Transfer to E.S. Dinah!"

Before them stood a large mechanical machine. Shion, Allen and Kos-Mos all safely boarded.

Ziggy and Momo did the same. "Transfer to E.S. Zebulon!"

Jr. and Chaos followed. "Transfer to E.S. Asher!"

"Ready Everyone!" Shion cried. "Lets do this!"

Off into the distance the white E.S. known as Simeon watched intently as the battle before him raged.

"Lets see how act two goes. Will the hero's survive?" Albedo questioned. "Will you pull out of this one alive Rubedo? Or will you fail just like before?"

Albedo let out an ear splitting laugh. "Ma Peche….you make things so easy for me."
