-1Chapter 17

Hey everyone, I haven't updated this for a while, so I thought that I would for everyone who likes this story. One thing I want everyone to know, im in 7th grade and Im no where near mastering Grammar and such, so if you see a mistake, dismiss it please and ill fix it as soon as I see it.

Face…my….past? I thought I would never, ever, hear those words.

"Are you ready?" Feb asked. Jr was already walking to the door, but Shion and I remained where we were standing. Me because of fright and shock, and Shion the same as me.

"I can't do it Mae," Shion muttered to me. I turned to her, my trance broken.

"We should try, everyone here is facing something in their past, its going to be hard. Not just for us, but for everyone." Shion nodded, and we caught up with everyone else. When Feb and Nephiliam opened the door, I saw that Familiar Hallway.

"This is inside the Chief and Mae's mind?" Allen asked. Again, I was surprised that he hadn't been killed off earlier, which I was sure he had been.

"You two know this hallway very well, do you not?" Nephiliam asked.

"Yea, but I don't see how this relates to everything," I said.

"Before you go in, I will explain. You both have witnessed something horrible happen to people dear to you, more than once am I correct?"

"Correct," Shion and I said in unison. From my peripheral vision, I could see a worried look on Momo's face. For someone as young as her, should she see these things unfold? The murder, the bloodshed, its to much for a young girl.

"And on both occasions, it has happened in the same place, and you two were together, correct?"

"Wait, I wasn't with Shion when my parents died, I was in their room, then when they died, I found Shion, the same fate as me, in her room," I protested. Nephiliam nodded.

"However the events had occurred, you two where in the same place, is that not a little odd?' I nodded.

"Then, let it begin," Nephiliam opened the door to Shion's Mother's Room. I saw a man on the floor, a nurse sprawled out unconscious, and her Mother, dead on the bed. A Realian was on the floor, infected units digesting its skin. I looked at the Realian, then at Feb. They were exactly the same! I saw Shion quivering with fear, seeing this must scare her. I looked at Jr, then at Ziggy, who were both moving around strangely. They were seeing their own pasts, sweet Momo, nothing as worse as bloodshed had happened to her, at least not yet. But her eyes were saying something different.

"Mae, are you ready?' Nephiliam asked. I cautiously nodded. I then took into account how cold chaos had seemed since we arrived in this Past Dream World. I looked at him, and he returned an icy glare, which I dismissed for nothing. The scene turned from Shion's room, to the one I was familiar with. My Father's, or foster Father, was jarred up against the window, a piece of shrapnel maybe, stuck into his chest, right at the exact coordinates of his heart. My Mother was in her bed, her face covered in blood, the regularly white sheets were stained, and when I walked over to her, I saw that her face had been burned off. I let off a yelp and covered my mouth. This couldn't be happening, it was so real like. Her face was the exact same as I last saw it long ago.

"Mae, are you okay?' Shion asked. She had already recovered from her shock, but I noticed that my hand was still over my mouth. I felt hands on my shoulders and I turned around and cried into chaos' chest. Momo must have been coming over to see her, because I heard Shion yell, "Momo no!" I looked up to find a panic stricken Momo, her face had turned an unnatural white and she wasn't moving. Jr turned out of his past dream and saw Momo.

"Yo everyone!" Jr said casually, then it slowly dawned on him that something wasnt right. I glanced at the ceiling, an unknown presence had just entered the room, everyone else had noticed to because they began to look around. Nephiliam and Feb backed away, telling me that this was going to be big.

"Move!" Jr yelled. He pushed Momo away and jumped, just as something fell right where Momo had been just seconds ago. The Monster was an Infected Realian. It moved about in a ghost like way, then more and more began to form, walking over to each other, pushing and stabbing themselves into each other. I felt like I was going to puke, but form mine and everyone's sake, I didn't. The Monster grew at an alarming rate, then it ran for us. Shion readied her M.W.S, then I called forth mine, energy surging through its core.

"Lets go!" Shion yelled running to the Monster.

"Energy Blast!" Shion shot three short range beams at the Monster, then she hit it twice with the fist function. I went in next and did the exact same thing, except I did 3 short range beams and 1 punch.

"Lunar Seal!" chaos yelled. He unleashed its raw power and the Monster moved about frantically.

"Heart Beam!" I yelled. I shot a beam at the Monster's Heart and it fell back, Shion taking the advantage by hitting it with her Spell Ray. The Monster stood up and jumped into the air, making an earthquake. My Health almost reached it uttermost end. Pain shot through my veins and I couldn't take it anymore, but as soon as the feeling began, it quit. I looked at Shion and she was smiling, giving us a thumbs up. We went in for the kill again, throwing punches, beams, chi, everything we had, we threw it at the monster.

"Mae, its almost dead! Take it out before it heals himself!" Shion yelled to me. I nodded and punched the monster, but he evaded, I punched again, but he evaded, so I used my most powerful attack. Unfortunately for me, he guarded and he was drawing energy to himself.

"Either he's about to heal himself, or kill us, just hurry Mae!" chaos yelled. I was about to punch again but the Monster was being shot at! I turned around and Jr was frantically shooting the monster.

"Hurry, I don't have unlimited bullets you know!" Jr yelled. The three of us nodded and we did a triple attack.

"Lunar,"

"Spell,"

"BEAM!" We shot a huge energy beam at the Monster, and it finally died, wait!

"What is it doing?" Shion screamed. The Monster was glowing red, and it stood up again. I looked back at Jr, and then I saw a flash and he was on the floor, clutching his bleeding stomach.

"Crap, its under one heavy quick spell!" chaos yelled throwing up his fists for defense.

"Quick 2!" Shion yelled. She threw up her hands and I felt the energy surge through me, then my breath quickened and my movements to.

"Whatdidyoujustdo?" I asked Shion, letting the quick spell take over my speech.

"Itsafasterquickspell!Useittoyouradvantage!" Shion ran fast to the Monster and threw ten punches and two beams. I charged my M.W.S, and followed Shion with the attack, then chaos unleashed what he had.

"Maeyouneedtouseyournecklace!" chaos yelled throwing a volley of chi energy.

"Idontknowhowtousethatstupidthing!" I yelled returning some fire at the Monster who had just punched me. The Monster jumped high in the air and landed, taking lots of damage, and then he repeated, and repeated. When he was finally finished, I was holding on to the last strand of life I had. Shion was already out, and chaos was a little better than I was. Momo walked into the battlefield, replacing Shion. I wasn't sure she could help, no offense for her, but she isn't that strong.

"Medica All!" Momo yelled. She threw up her arms and the healing began. As soon as she finished, I went in for the kill again, throwing everything I had at the Monster, chaos following me. The Monster hit Momo ten times, killing her in the process; she didn't even get to fight. Then he went for chaos. He punched him, and he evaded some, but for the most part, he was hit. He fell to the floor and he looked up at me, and then fell over. Only me remaining.

"You just killed chaos!" I yelled, anger raging up inside of me. The necklace glowed bright and floated into the air and I felt the power surge through me like electricity.

"And for that, you must be eliminated!" I threw up my hands and thousands of beams erupted from my slender body, like I did to defeat the gnosis. I couldn't see what was going on, just the bright light from the attack, but when I finally finished my fury fight, the Monster was down for the count.

"You never, ever mess with me!" I yelled. I used the dropped Med Kits from the Monster to revive Shion and Momo, who then revived and healed the rest of us. The room went black, and we were transported to a transparent room. I looked around, we were floating in space!

"You must see this, in order to save the Universe," Nephiliam said.

"Is that…KOS-MOS!" Shion screamed pointing to the object coming to us. KOS-MOS stopped in front of us with weaponry I had never seen before. A planet appeared, it looked like Miltia.

"Is that Milita?" Momo asked Nephiliam, thinking the same thing I was.

"Yes, it has overcome by U-DO, watch," KOS-MOS started up the weaponry and shot out some amazingly powerful beam. The Beam from the Weaponry collided with the red energy and KOS-MOS destroyed the Planet.

"Is that U-DO?" Jr asked surprised.

"Yes, that is the wave existence know as U-DO. It was important that you all saw this. As you know, Feb and I can only exist in this world, and we can only contact the Living for a short time. Here, we could talk to all of you, that's why I pulled you all into the Dive."

"Wait, I saw you on the Dammerung, and the Woglinde and a bunch of other places!" Mae exclaimed. Nephiliam ignored the statement she just answered.

"Is that…the Zohar?" Shion asked pointing to the object floating.

"Yes, that is the Original that is Sealed on Old Miltia, and I will show you something of Grave Importance in a minuet, follow me." A door Appeared and we followed Nephiliam up the invisible steps, which I almost tripped on. When we all went through the door, we were taken to a Sunny Area with a tree, two little girls playing, and Feb under the tree.

"This is the World that Cecily and Cathe are put under. The Girls are linked to the Zohar Control System where they keep the Zohar contained and unharmed."

"It isn't that bad," Allen muttered.

"But, this is what it really is." The screen switched from a beautiful sky and lush green grass, to a red sky and a dying tree. The sight scared me.

"This is what the girls are really in. The Illusion keeps them happy, but this is the truth. Shion, Mae, I need you to free my sisters from this."

"You want us to go to Old Miltia?" Shion asked surprised.

"The Opportunity will appear soon. Do not dismiss it and go. I need you to free my sisters."

"Go. You have to do other things." We were transported to a rocky looking room, candle like lights covered the side of the walls. Ahead of us was a Coffin and a cross. KOS-MOS was tied to the Cross with wires. She was glowing a bluish color. I was tempted to open the Coffin, but I had a pretty good idea what was in there, and I didn't need to do that. Not now anyways.

"Mae, come here and help. Allen come to." Shion said motioning for us to come.

"Im turning off the Encephalon Dive Protection. Were using the Password to do this remember, we did this in training one day."

"I remember, way good," I replied. Why was she explaining this? We knew this, it was one of the most important things, her password.

"Good, Mae, do the honors." Shion insisted. I stood in front of KOS-MOS and stuck out my hand.

"Password- Ye shall be as gods." I swayed my hand in a Z formation and KOS-MOS glowed brighter.

"Shutting off Enchepalon Dive Protection." She said. The room grew bright, then I felt myself getting dizzy, and I woke up on the seat on the Elsa.

"We got the Data, lets take it to the Authorities and make sure that Second Miltia and the Kukai Foundation isn't blamed anymore for this!"
