Chapter 10: Dark Rendezvous

After some minor bickering between Jr. and Ziggy regarding MOMO, the group decided to board the Song of Nephilim with Elsa. They met Alexander inside the cruiser on the bridge.

Shion gasped upon seeing her friend's outfit. "Alex..."

"Hm? What's wrong, Chief? Ah, must be the robe, eh? This is a formal Jedi robe."

"That is...rather simple."

The Jedi shrugged. "Well, we prefer simpler things. The protection might not be much but the mobility factor is more than make up for it."

"I see. But I'm still worried though..."

"There's no need for that. I have a backup plan should things turned bad." he assured.

"Enough chatter, guys!" Jr. interrupted. "Matthews!"

Matthews nodded. "Going to the Song of Nephilim, right? Just so you know, I don't intend to leave the Song of Nephilim until we've rescued MOMO. You better get ready!"

"Well, we're ready, right?" chaos said, glancing at the others.

Alexander gave a nod.

Shion smiled. "Yep. We are. Right, KOS-MOS?"

"I am ready." the battle android replied.

Ziggy twisted his hand before he replied. "There's nothing to lose. Let's go!"

Jr. nodded. "Alright. Let's rock n' roll!"

Matthews sighed and leaned back in his seat. "Man, I can't believe I'm stuck doing this. You better fork over a lot of hazard pay!"

The Elsa slipped through the thick of battle towards the towering structure.

"Captain! There's an opening to the side where we can dock!" Tony informed.

Matthews nodded approvingly. "All right! Bring us in, Tony. Be careful."

"Roger! Closing in and approaching the…"

Before Tony could hauled the ship in, Shion let a shout. "Wait!"

"Huh?"

"Tony, can you show me the top…?"

Tony raised his brows upon the odd request. "What? You want me to go around the top?"

"Please, just circle around the top!"

Tony gave a thought before eventually gave in. "All right… But one round is all you're getting. Who knows what's up there?"

"Thank you."

Tony moved the Elsa upwards and circled around the top. Shion gasped. "That's it. That's…the place I saw through the hospital window…"

Alexander simply grinned. "So, she might have saw it years ago. This means that thing was constructed long ago. Interesting..." he thought.

After a round at the top, the Elsa returned to the dock on the side of the structure. As the group stepped outside and made their way along the corridor, Alexander felt a sudden chill down his spine. KOS-MOS noticed this.

"Are you alright?" she inquired. Her cold, red eyes focused intensely at him.

Alexander gave a nod. "I'm fine, KOS-MOS. Just had a feeling that this matter will get ugly real soon."

After a short walk along the corridor, they reached the opened entrance and entered. Inside, they saw the uconscious MOMO lying on the floor not far from another entrance. Without hesitant, Jr. approached her and woke her up.

"MOMO! MOMO! MOMO!"

MOMO slowly opened her eyes with a blank expression on her face. Alexander sensed something odd about the Observational Realian but decided not to spoil the mood.

"MOMO! Are you alright?" Jr. said again. MOMO stared at him without indicating any facial expression. Jr. realized something and punched his fist on the floor.

"Don't tell me…we're too late…? Damn…that bastard! He's taken her consciousness! I'm gonna make him pay for this! Hold on, MOMO! I'll make you whole again!"

Shion attended to MOMO and gasped. "Jr.! What happened to MOMO?"

"Her...soul had been stolen. Or so I think..." Alexander interjected.

Jr. nodded. "That monster Albedo's gone and reversed the spiritual link…"

"Reversed the spiritual link?" Ziggy asked, confused.

"It's the opposite of what Gaignun and I do when we communicate telepathically. But by seizing someone's consciousness, you can delve inside the other person's mind and drag out whatever memories you feel like taking." he elaborated.

Shion looked at Jr. in shock. "You can't be serious! That means MOMO's mind is…"

"...Empty." Alexander finished. Jr. nodded again.

"Yeah… It's best for you all to go back. I'll handle this on my own."

"Wait! It's too dangerous to go alone!" chaos warned.

"Surely you won't leave us high and dry here, right?" Alexander added.

Jr. paused and thought of any possible solution. "Sorry. This is between me and him… All right?"

"But still..."

MOMO approached Jr. and tugged his coat. Jr. looked at her expressionless eyes.

"MOMO… You…wanna come with me?" MOMO nodded silently.

Shion stepped up. "I'm going, too."

"Shion..."

"Hey, hey. The same goes to the rest of us." Alexander added.

"Don't you remember what you told me? This song…it's responsible for destroying Miltia and bringing the Gnosis into this world… If this has anything to do with that place that I know of, then…this involves me as well…" Shion continued.

"Besides, I have a feeling that we'll run into Malice real soon." Alexander said as his hand strayed not far from his lightsaber.

"You sure?" chaos asked.

The Jedi Knight nodded. "Very. When that time comes, leave me be."

The group moved in deeper. They encountered numerous combat Realians and were forced to dispatched them. Alexander felt Shion's pain as she mowed down a horde of them.

"Chief, you can leave the rest to us."

Shion smiled at him. "Thanks Alex. I can still fight."

He shrugged. "If you say so. Just don't push it, okay?"

"Don't worry. I won't."

Alexander turned to KOS-MOS. "KOS-MOS."

"Yes?"

"How about you and I go ahead and take care of them?"

KOS-MOS nodded. "That is a good plan."

"Great." Alexander turned to the rest. "So, how about it?"

"That's fine, I guess..." Jr. replied.

"Nice suggestion, Alex. We had almost all of our Ether powers dried up. It'll be a good way of recovering them." chaos agreed.

Alexander smiled. "That settles it, then." he returned his gaze at KOS-MOS. "Let's go."

"Affirmative."

With that, the two moved forward at the same speed. Alexander then accelerated further by the use of the Force. KOS-MOS then followed suit by increasing her speed. Alexander simply grinned at the battle android. Jr. raised his brows while Shion chuckled at their antiques.

"Is there something between them? Or is it just me?"

In the large, throne-like room, Darth Malice continued to stare at Albedo as the maniac laughed to no end.

"HEHEHEHAHAHA! Come to me, Rubedo. I just can't wait to see the expression on your face. GYAHAHAHA!"

The Sith Lord had enough of it left for the door. Albedo noticed it.

"Leaving already?"

"Our objectives are coming here. I'll take the pleasure in greeting them."

"Whatever suits you, Malice. But be sure not to be so rough on Rubedo. Hehehehe."

Malice glared at him. "You don't have to worry. I won't land a scratch on him."

With perfect coordination and understanding, Alexander and KOS-MOS took short work on the combat Realians. After ascending upwards and fought more Realians, they now reached a section where they will need to go downwards. To top it all off, it was infested with Gnosis.

"Another field day at work. With full of Gnosis and an insane madman to take down." Alexander sarcastically remarked.

KOS-MOS glanced at him, blinking. Alexander chuckled.

"You don't get it, huh? Nevermind that. Oh, look. A Gnosis."

A quadruped Gnosis jumped down from a ledge above and pounced. KOS-MOS signaled Alexander not to engage it.

"Please let me take care of it."

Alexander shrugged upon the request. "Well, I do need a short rest. Go on ahead."

"Thank you."

KOS-MOS made short work of the Gnosis. "There."

Alexander sighed. "Do you have to be this efficient?"

"We will progress ahead faster if we eliminate them quickly." she replied in a predictable manner.

"Damn tactical AI..." he muttered. He then scratched his head. "Ah, well. Lead the way then, KOS-MOS."

With that, they continued with KOS-MOS in the lead. Her red eyes suddenly turned blue and a small smile formed on her face.

Shion, Jr., chaos, Ziggy and MOMO made their way across the corridor numerous bodies of Realians and security robots were strewn about. Jr. checked out one of the Realian.

"Wow, they really made short work of them indeed." he said.

"Obviously, these machines were destroyed by KOS-MOS." Shion remarked upon examining the extent of the damage. "Only she is capable of this."

chaos nodded. "You're probably right. But I don't see any damage dealt by Alex. I assume he used the Force in taking the Realians down.

"Try examining the right side of the neck." Ziggy said. "There's a scratch on it."

Jr. gasped. "Well I'll be. He cut the arterial veins that connects the brain and the heart."

"But to be this accurate in the heat of the battle..."

"Maybe he was protecting Shion..." chaos suggested.

Shion's eyes widened. "Protect...me?"

"Because he know your feelings for Realians. Therefore, he tried not to kill them in the worst possible way. Well, that's my view."

"Alex..."

Alexander and KOS-MOS eventually arrived at the area where there were three bridges connected to a central area.

"Now what do we have to do?"

"There is a way down." KOS-MOS then pointed at a blue circle elevator.

Alexander nodded. "Let's try it."

With the elevator, they descended and from there, they blowed up two generators and caused the barrier at the center to disappear. The Jedi felt a new presence within the area.

"Sensors, KOS-MOS." he said.

"I have detected a large Gnosis appeared in the central area where the barrier was taken down." she informed.

"I see. Any suggestions?"

"If it was up to me, I will engage it. But I will act upon your judgment regardless."

He smiled and walked towards the center. "I trust yours. Come, we'll engage it."

KOS-MOS stared at him as cold wind blowed his Jedi cloak, giving him a more regal look. "Very well." she finally said.

Shion and the rest of the group arrived at the scene and various sounds of battle echoed from the central area. It was then followed by a loud roar.

"What was that sound? Gnosis?" Shion asked, trying to make sure.

chaos nodded. "Most likely."

"And both Alex and KOS-MOS are in danger." Ziggy added.

MOMO nodded silently.

Shion equipped her MWS. "Right. Let's not waste any more time."

Jr. pulled out his Makarov and reloaded the ammo. "This will be a good warm up battle against Albedo. Let's go!"

Alexander and KOS-MOS attacked the Gnosis known as Rianon from both sides. The alien knocked the Jedi away, leaving itself open to powerful blows from KOS-MOS. Rianon reeled back and KOS-MOS took a position beside Alexander.

"Are you alright?" she inquired.

Alexander slowly stood up. "Ah, pretty much alive. But I'm afraid I can't use the Force for a while. That thing casted some sort of status ailment when I got hit."

Her eyes stared deep into his. "I see."

"But no worries though. I'll support you from the back while I try to knock out this ailment."

"Very well."

With that, KOS-MOS attacked as Alexander tried to use of what was left of the Force to eliminate the effect. To his dismay, it had little effect.

"Damn! Looks like I have to use that thing after all..."

He pulled out his cellphone and dialed 333. Few moments later, a small briefcase appeared by his side. He opened it to reveal a belt and a set of phone and a mover. The belt was made of metal with the stripes of black and white around it. On its buckle, a logo representing a lightsaber adorned its head. Alexander took out the belt and put it around his waist.

"They will probably laugh at me for this ridiculous design..."

He took the phone and held it close to the side of his face. "ENGAGE."

Then, a robotic reply came from the speaker. "VOICE COMMAND AKCNOWLEDGED. STANDING BY."

Before, he could go further, Rianon let out a roar and knocked KOS-MOS away, sending her into his path.

"Curses!" Alexander muttered and braced for the impact. He caught the battle android but her sheer weight knocked him further behind and the two sprawled on the floor.

"Ouch. Now that's quite a landing, KOS-MOS." he said as he hauled her up.

"Thank you. Are you alright? From my sensors, you're injured."

"Uh, yeah. But nothing for you to worry about..."

"BLAZE!"

He turned to see Jr. and the others. He smiled. "Good timing. We could use some help here."

chaos called up his ether powers. "Unleash some of my powers."

Moments later, Alexander could feel his power returned. He then force-pulled the phone into his hand.

"Thanks chaos."

"Don't mention it."

Ziggy stepped out to face Rianon. "Now that everything is in order..."

"What are we waiting for?" Jr. finished the sentence.

Shion nodded. "Okay. Be careful guys. If anything happens, MOMO and I will back you up."

Ziggy nodded. "Sure thing."

With that, KOS-MOS, Ziggy, chaos and Jr. attacked the Gnosis together. Shion turned to Alexander who was muttering and mumbling with the phone in hand.

"Alex, what is that?" she asked, pointing to the belt.

"Oh, this? Just another one of my...inventions. But I'm having second thoughts on using it..."

"You're worried that it might cause you harm?"

"Err...yeah. You can say that. I prefer not to resort to this but that Gnosis isn't any normal types we faced before. So, I have to..."

Another roar from Rianon was heard and it knocked all of its opponents away. Jr. slowly stood up. "Damn, this one is tough..."

chaos applied his healing skills onto himself. "You can say that."

Ziggy held his cybernetic arm. Sparks were flying about but he managed to put a temporary fix. "This Gnosis is unlike any others. It is too powerful for us."

KOS-MOS blinked her eyes and engaged it again. "Hey!" Jr. called to her.

Seeing this, Alexander turned to Shion. "Chief, MOMO. Please take care of them."

"Alex, you don't mean..."

"I AM not planning on dying yet, mind you."

Shion heaved a sigh of relief. "Phew. You almost got me there..."

"Heh. Very well then, let's do it."

With a sigh, he slowly put the phone down into its mover where it was attached on the side of the belt. "COMPLETE." the voice said. Then, streams of white photon came from the buckle as they surrounded his body to form a set of black armour and a bug-like masked helmet.

Shion looked at the transformation in awe. "Alex...that's..."

"Yeah. This is the same prototype Delta Armor that I've shown you before. Now if you excuse me..."

He ignited both lightsabers and jumped high at Rianon. The Gnosis shot out a gush of jelly-like liquid but Alexander easily disposed it with his weapons.

"KOS-MOS!" he called out.

KOS-MOS nodded silently and her gloved arm changed into R-BLADE. Within moments, both of them took out the tentacles. After putting away his sabers, Alexander pulled out his blaster which was formed by the phone and the mover.

"Fire." he uttered.

"BURST MODE."

"Little Master!"

Jr. turned and nodded. "You got it!"

Alexander launched multible beam attacks from the blaster while Jr. unleashed various tech moves to dish out maximum damage to Rianon.

"Last Rhapsody! Mystic Nocturne! Angelic Requiem!"

These attacks weakened the Gnosis greatly. Seizing the oppurtunity, Ziggy jumped high into the air and launched a flying kick to the temple. Seeing this, Alexander held his blaster close to his masked face. He input the voice command;

"Lucifer's Hammer."

"EXCEED CHARGE."

Acknowledging the command, another photon stream appeared from the buckle along the white photon stripe towards the blaster.

"Let's end this, you monster." he said before he fired a shot at the Gnosis. The shot stunned Rianon and the blast then turned into a drill-like shot. He then jumped and delivered a flying kick that went through that drill shot. Rianon roared in pain as Alexander warped out to the other side. But despite the double blow, it still refused to give in and chaos finished it with his Heaven's Wrath tech attack.

Alexander canceled the transformation and the armor disappeared. "Not bad at all. For a prototype."

"Wow man. What was that suit?" Jr. asked with amazement.

"A power armor I've been working on. Ridiculous design, I'd say." the Jedi replied, smiling.

"As long as its functional, no one cares about the appearance." Ziggy said.

"You looked like a masked super hero in that outfit." Shion remarked.

Alexander sighed. "I knew you'd say that, Chief."

The group reached an elevator that will transport them down to the lowest area. Jr. stopped in his tracks.

"I can feel it. Albedo. He's down there..."

"Let's go then." Ziggy said as he was about to press the elevator's activation button.

This time, Alexander paused just outside the elevator. "Hold on, Zig."

Shion looked at him. "What's wrong, Alex?"

"Malice." he replied short.

"Then..."

Alexander took out his lightsabers. "Go on, guys. Let me face this one alone."

chaos nodded. "Understood. We'll see you later then."

Alexander glanced at him, smiling. "A drink back at the Foundation. My treat."

Jr. showed a thumb up. "We'll hold on to that."

"Be careful, Alex." Shion told him as the elevator descended.

He waved. "I will, Chief."

Alexander watched his friends until they faded deeper into the darkness before turning around.

"Malice, come out. Or do you prefer your old title, Master Karas?"

Without waiting, Darth Malice appeared from the far corridor. The Sith Lord then removed the mask to reveal a pale yet beautiful face of a female. She then pulled down the cape, showing her long, blonde hair.

"Erina Karas died the moment Darth Malice exist, Jedi."

"I don't know how Exodus turned you, Sith. But by the Force I won't let the fact that you were my master cloud my judgment."

Malice activated her lightsaber. "Good. I always wanted to see the full potential of you, boy."

Alexander narrowed his eyes and went into his Jar'kai stance. "Well then, shall we?"

With a roar, Malice leapt at him with her weapon poised to strike him down.

Notes:
Meh. Another late update. Sorry guys. A lot has been happening. Just to clear things up, the Delta Armor for Alex was taken directly from the series Kamen Rider 555. You have to watch that if you wanna know more about Kamen Rider Delta.

Matrix Kage, thanx loads for the comments and the PM. Those gave me that motivation I need to keep on typing this piece.
