Chapter 9: Silent Revelation

The group made their way up to the bridge of Durandal and Shion presented to Lapis the disc that will surely save them from their current situation.

"I present to you the memory bank data from the Anti-Gnosis Humanoid Weapon System KP-X, KOS-MOS. Protection Level AAA, with no possibility of alteration."

Lapis took the disc gratefully. "Memory bank data accepted. Please remain within the Miltian star system until you're cleared of all charges."

After a while, they finally cleared from all charges and the Federation soldiers had withdrawn from the Foundation.

"Phew, well I am sure glad that escapade's over and done with!" Mary sighed.

Shelley glanced at Alexander, who was staring blankly at the open space before turning to Jr. "You don't look very happy. Did something happen?"

Jr. was knocked out of his stupor. "Huh? Yeah. You could say that… I still can't believe it…"

"We've got another friend of yours to release, too." Lapis' voice echoed from behind. Everyone turned to see Gaignun beside her.

Shelley was the first to react. "Oh…! Master Gaignun!"

Mary followed suit. "Master Gaignun…!"

Both women ran and hugged Gaignun. Alexander looked at the scene and silently nodded.

"Hey." Jr. greeted the Director.

"You've done well…"

"Ahh, no big deal… But…it sure brought back a lot of bad memories… " Jr. then turned to Shion. "Hey, Shion… That girl… She called herself Nephilim, right?"

Shion nodded. "Uh, yeah..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, but..."

"Hmm..."

"What's wrong?"

"Well… If that girl is somehow connected to what I'm thinking of… Then things are gonna get real busy, real soon…"

Shion looked at Jr. puzzled. Alexander stared at the space outside.

(Indeed it will. Something sinister and dark is approaching. They have finally make their move...)

Alexander already back in his room. He decided to wear the protoype battle suit he's been working on. The suit was skin tight but he made it elastic enough to fit virtually any size. He then put on a utility belt to keep his lightsabers in sight before putting on a light breastplate as additional protection. He flexed his arms and stretched his body.

"Alright. Feels good."

He then Force-pulled the sword he upgraded and unsheathed it. The hilt was a work of art and was inscribed in ancient Sith language literally meant 'The Strong Will Rule' while the blade was made of pure force crystal. It was half-transparent but after he held the grip, the blade turned blue. He smiled.

"From now, I call you Heart of The Force."

Later, Alexander was in his room on the Elsa, meditating to calm himself after what had happened in the Encephalon. Suddenly, he opened his eyes. He felt a strong aura of evil approaching. Then, he heard a song. A tune that was gentle but was in fact a wave that drove anyone who were sensitive enough to turn mad. Alexander stopped his meditation and left the room towards the bridge. chaos turned to him the moment he entered.

"You heard it too, yes?" the white-haired youth asked.

"Yeah. The Song of Nephilim. That means...oh, Force! Gnosis!"

Alexander arrived at the elevator to the bridge only to see KOS-MOS already boarded it. Using the Force, he ran faster and managed to make it in time. The android stared at him. He smiled.

"You felt it too, huh?"

KOS-MOS blinked. "Yes. I woke up the moment I detected their presence."

The elevator went up and the situation got from bad to worse. The Gnosis already entered the Federation.

"Where's KOS-MOS! If we activate the Hilbert Effect, it could buy us some time for the evacuation!" Shion shouted.

KOS-MOS approached her. "Shion, did you call for me?"

Shion turned and sighed in relief. "KOS-MOS, are you ready?"

"Reports of Gnosis sighted in colony precinct 32! They've also penetrated precincts 18 and 27!" one of the 100-Series informed.

"What?" Jr. exclaimed.

"The Hilbert Effect!" Shion demanded.

"Affirmative. Activating Hilbert Effect."

With that, KOS-MOS activated the Hilbert Effect and massive aura of blue waves washed over the Gnosis, dragging them from their plane and prevented a lot of them from appearing inside the Federation.

"This should keep them from materializing inside the colony." Shion stated.

"In any case, we have to hurry up and get everyone onboard. If we don't do something, the Gnosis are going to take over the entire Metropolis." chaos said.

"I'll help with the evacuation!" MOMO voluteered.

"I'll go as well." Ziggy added.

Shion stared at KOS-MOS for a moment. "KOS-MOS… We're counting on you." she finally said.

"I am happy to be of service."

"Good."

"Well, let's get going, shall we?" Alexander said as he ignored the glance from Shelley. Mary noticed it and grinned. "We're counting on you, Blaze!" she then said to him.

Alexander nodded. "Yeah. We'll take care of things there. You just worry things here."

With that, the elevator went down as the group descended. Mary approached her sister.

"Are you sure about this, sis?"

Shelley stared at her and nodded. "Yes. It is what he wanted. I know he wants to love. And to be loved in return. But he had his own reason not to."

"But sis, surely..."

"Don't worry, Mary. He will eventually found someone. And that someone isn't me."

The group reached Sector 27 and proceeded to save as many civilian as possible. With the others went on ahead, Alexander entered the Ironman bar, looking for the bartender. He saw the muscled man lying on the floor as fire quickly spread. Alexander picked him up.

"Dammit, old man! Hang in there!"

The bartender smiled weakly. "I'm okay, son. Just help the others."

"Stop being tough once in a while. You can barely walk in that condition. I'm getting you out."

He brought him outside where the surviving civilians helped the bald man.

"Make your way to the Durandal. On the double." Alexander said.

"We will." one of them said.

Alexander nodded and looked up and saw a little girl at the window, crying for help. He Forced-jumped his way to the roof and pulled the girl out before the fire engulfed the area. As he landed on the ground, the girl was still crying, holding him close.

"It's alright, little girl. You're safe now."

"I'm scared...so SCARED!"

"There, there. Be strong, okay?"

After doing what he could on Sector 27, Alexander made his way to Sector 26 and felt a presence. A being sensitive to the Force. But it was of the dark side.

(A Sith...)

He followed the traces and arrived at the fountain area. Darth Malice was waiting.

"So, you are the Jedi Alexander Darkblaze."

"And I assume you're Darth Malice?"

"Indeed I am."

"I sense something is not right with you. You're not what you're supposed to be..."

"Silence!" Malice shouted as he ignited his green lightsaber. "On behalf of Lord Exodus, I will eliminate the Jedi once and for all!"

Alexander switched on his cyan lightsaber. "Very well. Let's do it."

Shion and the others already evacuated all the civilians and were about to left Sector 26 when KOS-MOS suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"KOS-MOS?"

Her red eyes blinked before turning to Shion. "I detected his signal."

"Signal? Alex?"

"That is correct. I also detected another presence. From the waves I had received, it is hostile in nature."

"Alex could be in danger!" Shion stated.

"Yes, we need to check on him." Ziggy suggested.

chaos nodded. "Yeah. I don't want to lose a good friend."

The duel was even as far as both were concerned with Alexander matched Malice in every attacks. Cyan and green clashed again.

"Very good, Jedi. You are indeed powerful as my master had said." Malice growled behind his mask.

"Shut up!" Alexander shot back and attacked Malice with flurries of saber feints. "Where's Exodus?"

Malice dodged effortlessly. "You don't have to worry of that. He WILL find you."

The Sith Lord then increased his speed and his attacks intensified. Alexander had to block each of them and didn't had the time to use the Force for aid.

(Dammit. At this rate...)

"Alex!"

Alexander turned and saw Shion and the others just arrived. "Get back!" he warned.

Seizing the chance, Malice knocked his opponent's weapon away and pushed him to the floor. He then leapt as Alexander was sprawled on the ground.

"DIE!"

Alexander waited until the last moment before activating another lightsaber. Blinding yellow light flashed. In an instance, both duelist stopped as Alexander paused with his weapon turned on. Then, Malice's mask split in two. Alexander turned around and a look of astonishment appeared across his face as Malice covered half of his face with his hand.

"You...no...it can't be..." he stammered.

Malice cursed in ancient Sith tounge. "Curse you, Jedi! I won't forget this!"

With that, black shadow engulfed him and he disappeared. Alexander was still in shock of the face he saw beneath the mask. "No..."

The group gathered around him. "Are you alright, Alex?" Shion asked.

It took a while for him to respond. "Yeah. But...dammit! I don't want to believe it..."

The group of five were on their way out of Sector 27 when a massive steed-like Gnosis called Gigas appeared from the top, blocking the archway.

"Looks like we have no choice..." chaos said.

"It seems so." Ziggy added as he flexed his robotic arm.

"Do we even have one?" Alexander remarked sarcastically before igniting both of lightsabers.

"We have to be quick about it." Shion warned as she put on her MWS.

"By the power of the Force!" Alexander shouted before closing in at the gigantic Gnosis.

Gigas thrusted its lance-like arm at the approaching Jedi. Alexander saw it coming and used the Force to jumped again in mid-air. He then spun around and swung his orange saber at the back of its head. The beam singed its target and Gigas howled in pain. However, it also had to worry with the incoming attacks from Ziggy, chaos, KOS-MOS and Shion. Ziggy jumped high in the air and launched a powerful electric flying kick on its chest. The kick stunned the creature for a moment and chaos seized the chance by launching holy light attacks that rained down from the sky. Shion formed a pentgram on the floor and beams of light shot up from the sky before raining down on Gigas. KOS-MOS chose to attack from distance by using her vulcan and R-CANNON. Standing on top of the archway, Alexander turned off his cyan saber and held the grip of the remaining saber using both hands. He turned a switch and the yellow saber grew longer by one feet.

"Everyone, back off!" he yelled.

His friends nodded and rolled out of the way as Alexander zoomed in towards Gigas like a rocket. With one massive swing, the lightsaber sliced through the Gnosis effortlessly. There was a pause before the lower body of Gigas seperated from its chest. Not taking any chance, KOS-MOS efficiently took out of what was left with R-BLADE. Smiling, Alexander turned off the blade.

"Good job, KOS-MOS." he said.

"I am happy to be of service." she replied.

"The lightsaber grew longer, Alex? How did you that?" Shion asked as the others approached him.

"Nothing special, Chief. Just putting in my knowledge of Dual Phase Lightsaber to good use."

"That was some capability." chaos said.

"From what I've seen, you have to possess considerable strength to swing that kind of weapon." Ziggy remarked.

Alexander nodded. "Indeed, Zig. But of course I used the Force for aid."

At the launchpad, the group were the last to board the tram.

"MOMO! Hurry and get in!" Shion shouted amidst the chaos.

MOMO turned to her. "I'm okay! I've got to help treat these injured people. This person's bleeding heavily…"

"All right! We'll come back for you soon!"

"I'm staying back to help." Alexander suddenly said as he stepped out. "You guys better check things from the bridge."

Shion nodded. "Alright Alex. Please take care of MOMO."

Alexander simply waved and started to attend to the injured by applying his Jedi healing skills. Later, more and more civilians filled the area, in need of medical assistance.

"Oh, man. This is endless. Hey MOMO, a little hand...here?"

Alexander looked at the place where MOMO was but she wasn't there.

MOMO opened her eyes to see the gloomy environment surrounding her.

"Where…am…I…? It's so cold… What happened…?"

She suddenly recalled of the events happened at the Federation...

MOMO was busy attending to the injured when she saw a figure of a man passed her by. She recognized him immediately.

"Daddy! Daddyyyy!"

She then followed him back to Sector 27. She entered an alley to see no one. Suddenly, a dark cloaked figure appeared. MOMO widened her eyes in fear but before she could do anything, she suddenly fell asleep. As the figure was about to leave with his objective, a voice called out;

"MALICE! Let her go!"

Darth Malice, with his new mask on, looked at Alexander. "I have no time for you at the moment, Jedi. Now that I have what I want, I'm leaving."

Carrying MOMO in one arm, the Sith Lord activated a black portal and stepped in. The Realian barely opened her eyes before falling asleep again. "Alex..."

The portal disappeared almost instantly. Alexander punched his fist on the brick wall repeatedly until it bled. "DAMN IT! I failed. MOMO..."

Alexander went up the bridge only to hear the situation had gone from bad to worse.

"The pattern of the Gnosis gate-outs are near the center of the Foundation." Shelley informed.

"What about the Zohars in the hangars!" inquired Gaignun.

"They're in stasis! Attract Inhibitor output is normal!" replied Mary.

"So if the Zohars in the Durandal aren't calling the Gnosis, then..." Gaignun left his words off as Alexander felt streams of mental communication from both him and Jr.

"Hey, do you guys hear something? It sounds...like a song?" Shion suddenly said.

Everyone but Gaignun, Jr. and Alexander were puzzled.

"A...song?" Allen repeated. "I don't hear anything. You sure you aren't imagining things?"

Ignoring his surroundings, Alexander narrowed his eyes as he searched for the source of the Song of Nephilim. "Ahah. Found you." he said to himself.

"Blaze, where's MOMO?" Jr. asked.

"She was...kidnapped. Forgive me." Alexander replied reluctantly. Jr. and the others gasped.

"What? Who?" Shion asked.

"Darth Malice." he replied, grimly. "But I'm sure MOMO is not far from here. I can feel it."

Several minutes passed. The Federation fleet was unable to be of any help as more and more Gnosis appeared.

"Dammit! Is there any other way? At this rate..." Jr. cursed aloud.

Suddenly, a beam was fired to the Gnosis. Shion, Alexander and Allen gasped for they recognized the new arrival on screen. Moments later, it fired several more shots at the Gnosis.

"The Dammerung…!"

"Just in time..." Allen said, relieved.

"The Rhine Maiden… So she's operational now…" Shion muttered.

Suddenly, a cheery voice echoed from the speakers. "Chief!"

Alexander stuttered as Miyuki appeared on screen.

Shion stared at her without blinking. "Miyuki? Where are you calling in from…?"

"Woo hoo! Pretty cool, huh? Did you see the Rhine Maiden? I am soooo glad I requested that transfer to Second Division! If I didn't, I never would've seen this beauty in action."

"Why does that hardly surprised me?" Alexander remarked.

Miyuki looked at him. "Hey Alex! How are you doing?"

He shrugged. "Pretty much alive."

"That's great to hear. Hey, about our date..."

"Hey! You're not suppose to say that in public!" Alexander shouted, causing laughter from his friends.

"You joined Second Division? What're you…" Shion said after the brief respite.

"I'll tell ya later." She quickly cut her off. "Is KOS-MOS there with you?"

"Huh? Yeah, but…"

"Okay, I'll send it over then."

A case appeared on the floor out of nowhere. Shion opened it to see a a set of cartridge in it. She gasped. "Miyuki? Isn't this..."

"There's some type of force field concentrated near here. There's a very high probability that it's what's attracting the Gnosis." she explained.

"A force field?"

"Right. The observational guys said whatever it is, it's definitely something man-made. Anyway, we can find the origin of this field if we link up the Dammerung's mainframe with KOS-MOS' D.S.S.S. sensor. It appears as though the enemy's using some kind of cloaking device to conceal itself right now, but there should be a wrinkle or two in the surrounding space, though. We figured that if we can tear those open, we'll be able to find out what we're dealing with."

Alexander, Gaignun and Jr. looked at each other. "So, it really is that thing..." the Jedi silently said.

"Is that why you gave me this PT cartridge? I mean...Do you have any idea what this thing is?" Shion continued.

"Of course! Or so I'd like to claim, but I actually just transferred in, so I'm not really sure."

"Look, Miyuki. This cartridge is a weapon! It sets off a phase transfer that destroys everything in the area. It may be localized, but you could vaporize an entire star with this thing if you wanted to. You'd have to be insane to try using this in a populated area."

"Shion." KOS-MOS suddenly said.

"What is it, KOS-MOS?" her creator asked.

"By limiting the phase transfer mass, I can activate the device without impacting either the Federation fleet or the Kukai Foundation."

"You can do that?"

"Affirmative. This is one of my many functions."

"Even the Rhine Maiden's got a limitation to how much she can fire." Miyuki informed. "Let's take out the source before the Gnosis overwhelm us!"

"But..."

Jr. approached her. "Shion… This is the Song of Nephilim. There's no question about it."

"The Song of Nephilim? What is it?"

"The single worst creation that ever resulted from Joachim Mizrahi's research. It was the Song that destroyed Miltia and summoned the Gnosis. We've gotta stop it before everything goes out of control."

"Out of control?"

"And we still haven't found MOMO yet. We've gotta move!"

"I know, but…"

"Any sign of MOMO yet?" Ziggy asked to one of 100-Series.

"We're still scanning, but we haven't located her yet." one of them replied.

"I see…" Ziggy then turned to Shion. "We've got to make a decision, Shion. We can't hold out against another Gnosis attack."

After a brief moment, she sighed and nodded. "…All right. Let's see what we can do."

KOS-MOS floated in space and arrived at the position to fire the Phase transfer Cannon.

"Listen to me, KOS-MOS. Try to keep the phase transfer mass as low as possible. All we need is the locus of that force field." Shion reminded.

"Affirmative." the android replied. "Setting transfer mass to 0.11 MPT. Transfer time set to 4.8 times ten to the negative thirty-eight. Loading cartridge."

KOS-MOS loaded the cartridge into her pistol. It then transformed into an oversized cannon.

"Bypass between D.S.S.S. and mainframe secured. Opening multidirectional scan." Miyuki informed.

"Distortion detected at direction 8-0-1-8, near the U.M.N. structure. It is currently emitting a weak column pulse." KOS-MOS said after using her sensors.

"That's it! And your line of fire?" Shion inquired.

"Line of fire, clear. Awaiting orders."

Shion turned to Shelley. "Shelley, are the anti-electromagnetic shields ready?"

Shelley glanced at Alexander for a moment. He was looking outside at KOS-MOS before shifting his view at an empty space not far from her. She then turned to Shion. "Preparations are complete. You may fire at will."

Shion nodded and waved her arm forward. "Roger. KOS-MOS, fire the phase transfer cannon!"

KOS-MOS silently acknowledged and fired the cannon at the coordinate. Upon impact, a giant, tower-like structure was revealed. Alexander, Gaignun and Jr. recognized it instantly.

"I knew it." the director said.

"It's exactly the same. Nothing's change at all..." Jr. stated.

"An instrument of destruction. A tool that should have never exist..." Alexander muttered.

Shion looked at the structure in awe. "So that's the Song of Nephilim..."

Alexander suddenly shivered and felt evil presence from the Song of Nephilim. "This sensation...Malice..."

"MOMO!" Jr. suddenly shouted. "MOMO is inside that thing!"

Ziggy turned to him. "Are you certain?"

"Scanners!" Mary yelled to the 100-Series.

"100-Series Observational Unit prototype MOMO tracked and located! She's in the middle of the distortion caused by the phase transfer."

"MOMO... What is she doing in there?" Allen muttered.

"Damn it! It's him! Albedo! I felt him the moment I heard MOMO's voice..." Jr. cursed.

However, Gaignun remained calm. "Ah... Albedo. That explains what that unsettling feeling was about. Not to mention why she's there."

"What do you mean?" Ziggy asked.

"That girl, MOMO. Not only is she a specialized Realian, but also the repository for the late Joachim Mizrahi's records. Albedo and the U-TIC Organization want that information. They wanted it for a long time..."

"Albedo..." Alexander thought. "So he is still alive..."

He then turned to Jr. "Little Master, I'm going."

Jr. raised his brows and nodded.

"Thanks. I will go and get ready. I have many questions needed answers over there." he said, glancing at the Song of Nephilim.

Notes:
Phew. Sorry for the late update. Caught up in a lot of stuff and need to take some time off. I'll post the next chap and FUTURE's next chap as soon as I'm done with Suikoden V. XD
