=UNIVERSE=
When the lights faded Morgana blinked a number of times as she worked to regain her vision from the sudden burst of light. When she did regain it she was amazed at where she suddenly was. She was on a small boat out in the middle of the sea, and in front of her she saw many of the different things from the videos she saw of Cray. It had been like it hadn't been destroyed in the first place from the war with the Link Joker Armada.
"Wow...it's beautiful." She muttered to herself, but she also wondered why she was on this alternate Cray in the first place. She began rowing her boat heading for shore, and hopeful that she didn't run into any trouble along the way.
Landing on the shore she had no clue where she was near as she glanced around "Okay...now where should I..." She started, but then had to duck behind a large boulder as stray flames nearly hit her to which she realized their was a fight going on.
"Keep pushing them back! Don't give them an inch!" A female knight says shooting a foe with energy arrows from a bow.
"Easier said than done Arrow!" A small blue armored female sylph says on a large gold beetle as rammed into a armored humanoid lizard knocking him away.
"Break through them! Show the United Sanctuary scum we mean business!" A human dragon hybrid shouts as a man in dark armor on the back of a wyvern flew in trying to female referred to as Arrow.
Before he could hit though a dark skinned female elf in brawler like gear intercepted the attack grabbing the spear and punched the man off the dragon "Not happening on my watch!"
Arrow let's out a sigh of relief "Thanks Iseult." she said.
"Not a problem. Besides someone is on their way with the rest of the Blaster Corps so just got to delay a bit Arrow." Iseult replied.
Morgana watched this battle happen "Okay...I should hang back here. No need to get myself involved in this..." She muttered.
The fight continued neither side showing an inch as then a howl is heard as a group of five other knights clad in armor similar to Arrow, and a small blue dog with pink tuffs of fur and large ears had arrived.
"Arrow fall back to the rest!" A female voice spoke coming from the center figure.
Morgana glanced out to get a look as the central figure of the five stepped out as the dog like creature followed her "Attention Kagero of the Dragon Empire. You have been warned on multiple occasions now stay away from the United Sanctuary. This is your last chance. Leave now or face the consequences." She spoke evenly her voice having a bit of a dangerous edge to it.
"Oh yeah! Why should we listen to..." One of the lizard soldiers started as the female pointed a blade at the solider which it separated, and quickly gathered electricity.
"Burst Buster..." She muttered and electrical energy surged from the blade striking the soldier as he fell to the ground.
When the blade reconnected Morgana recognized it instantly "Blaster Blade?" She muttered as the woman tapped her foot.
"So what will it be? Will you leave? Or do me and the rest here have to force you? Fair warning though as we speak his majesty Alfred is on his way here as we speak." The female knight spoke.
This fact was enough to unnerve the Kagero fighters. They could fight on even ground with the regular soldiers of the Royal Paladin army, yet the moment the specialized Blaster Corps arrived they knew they were in trouble, but if the king of knights himself were to fight...
The wyvern rider looked to the rest gritting his teeth "Full retreat! I repeat full retreat!" He says and they all took off headed back for the Dragon Empire.
The female let out a sigh as the dog creature barked and rubbed his head against her leg "Thanks for the support Wingal." She whispered before looking towards her fellow knights.
"Good job everyone! I'm sure if Ahmes was here he'd be just as proud of you as I am now. Well then let's head home, and feast to celebrate our grand victory!" She declared as their was cheers of agreement.
What none noticed was Wingal had sniffed the air, and started heading towards a new smell he smelled. Coming to the boulder and seeing someone new he started barking drawing everyone including Morgana's attention who tried to shush the dog.
"What is it boy? Find something?" The female knight asked and then hears the shushing. Drawing Blaster Blade the female swung cutting right through it revealing a surprised Morgana.
"A earthling!" Several of the knights and others spoke in surprise while the knight holding Blaster Blade sucked in a breath.
Morgana a bit nervous waves "Uhh...H-Hi there?" She says giving a nervous chuckle. The rest let out a groan.
Wingal looked to the Blaster Blade wielding knight as if asking what they should do and she sighs "Bring her with us...it'll be safer for her." The woman spoke and turned away.
"Well...could have been worse." Morgana thought as she was forcefully having to follow the group as they surrounded her.
=UNIVERSE=
It had taken a few days walk from the border of the Dragon Empire to arrive at their destination, but they were now in the capital city of the United Sanctuary nation.
Going through the capital city of the United Sanctuary it was felt like a mix of culture as their was a large amount of medieval aesthetics, but buildings looked inspired by a couple of era's from other countries on Earth. The palace was large and could be seen in the background as they entered.
"Wow..." She muttered.
"Yes it is certainly something." A young woman beside her spoke wearing similar blaster armor to the rest, but was much slimmer, and designed to resemble a dress while a rapier was sheathed on her side. Silver gray hair came out from her helmet. Her name is Blaster Rapier, but she is simply called Rapier as not many know her true name.
"Uhh...yeah. I mean..." Morgana started as Rapier looked her over and hummed.
"Umm...is something wrong?" Morgana then asked.
Rapier glanced up towards the one leading them as she got close "I'm simply wondering what about you caused such a reaction from mi'lady Blaster Blade. She's normally one to hide her emotions you see. Though she's normally not seen around when the foreign royalty of Amour visits." Rapier whispered and Morgana sucked in a breath.
"Amour! That's Charles and Minerva's home planet! It was destroyed by the Link Joker Armada though." Morgana thought wondering to herself how a purged planet could be revitalized.
Soon enough they got to the palace and Blade sighed "Blaster Corps keep an eye on our guest, the rest of you are dismissed while I go discuss what has occurred with King Alfred." Blade ordered her voice leaving no room for argument as the four other creatures clad in the blaster armor stayed with Morgana while the rest dispersed heading to feast to celebrate their victory.
"Uh oh. I know that tone in her voice. Ugh...so much for having a day without much training." The tallest male blaster spoke his voice annoyed his javelin at his side.
"Hmph. A simpleton like you would of course jump to that conclusion Javelin." A younger male clad in blaster armor says looking over his dagger.
"Oh you picking a fight Dagger?" Javelin says annoyed.
"It's not picking a fight when it's fairly obvious who will win." Dagger retorts as the two female's sigh and Rapier looks at them annoyed.
"That's enough you two." Rapier says her voice cold as ice her tone warning them something bad will happen if they don't stop.
"Y-Yes Miss Rapier." Both males said and Morgana chuckled.
Arrow glanced at Morgana "She did tell us to keep an eye on you, but she didn't say we had to stay right here. I believe we have plenty of time to show you around." Arrow told Morgana deciding to try and break the ice with the human.
"Umm...sure. I think that would be good." Morgana replied to her, and thus they started to show Morgana around various parts of the palace.
As they went though Morgana had several questions on her mind and glanced at the rest of the Blaster Corps wondering if they'd even be willing to answer them.
Javelin noticed this as he saw her look "Hey if you got something on your mind then ask already kid." He said to her.
Morgana while surprised sighed "About Blade umm...she's the second person to wield the sword Blaster Blade right? I mean Ahmes was the original Blaster Blade wasn't he?" She asked.
"Indeed. Though Ahmes soul..." Dagger started before glancing around making sure Blade wasn't around to hear them.
"Ahmes soul and many others were lost in The Great Battle 15 years ago. It also broke Blade emotionally to the point she left her home." Dagger continued on.
Rapier nods "She never talks about what happened, but m'lady Blade was deeply hurt by the war and it's final battle. She arrived on Cray when she was still a child taking on the name of the sword she wields now full time. We don't even know what she used to be called." Rapier added on as each understood and sighs.
"Even though each of us are close friends and allies to her we don't even really know her. She keeps to herself." Javelin told her.
Morgana listened and looked down "It's sounding like Blade is wanting to be with them, but she's afraid to." she thought.
Dagger thought a moment "Hmm...she'll probably be going to see the memorial today." Dagger added on.
"Memorial?" Morgana asked them curious.
"It's for the heroes who were lost in the war, and for those who will never return to Cray." Arrow told her as Rapier nods.
"The Memorial is one of the only neutral grounds where no fighting is allowed. It's a respected place here on Cray since it was rebuilt." Rapier added on.
Morgana nods listening as the group headed for the memorial which wasn't that far.
=UNIVERSE=
Arriving they saw the memorial which was a large tablet like object inscribed with various symbols representing every clan on Cray. Names were engraved on it, and there was an additional symbol engraved that made Morgana stop and gasp.
It was the symbol of her ranger team, and the names of all her teammates herself included were among them.
After having reported to King Alfred now standing there was Blade who ran her hand over the names a tear running down a cheek.
"I miss you all." Blade whispered then turned hearing them all coming, and her face went stoic like earlier and she seemed to be glaring at Morgana.
"I thought I told you all to stay at the palace." Blade says flatly.
"S-Sorry Miss Blade, but the girl was curious. She isn't under threat here in neutral territory." Dagger spoke as Blade huffed before looking to Morgana.
"I don't trust you, but his majesty seems to think your appearance is a blessing in disguise." Blade says to her with a huff.
As they were about to leave there was a shout towards Blade as someone familiar came running up to them "Macha?" Morgana muttered surprised.
Blade smiles a bit "Macha. Is there a problem need assistance with?" she asked the former Shadow Paladin strategist.
Macha nods "W-We spotted a few of them. It's Glueball, and Reverse Cradle." Macha said as Blade frowns and Morgana felt herself go pale.
"Glueball and Reverse Cradle! Were they both rebuilt?" Morgana thought as Macha finally took notice of Morgana and her eyes widen and she gasped.
"Morgana?" Macha asked as Blade turned to the rest of the Blaster corps.
"Head towards the battle. I'll be back as soon as I can with help." Blade spoke and took off before anyone could object as Macha approached Morgana and touched her as if checking to see if she was a ghost or something else.
Macha eyes widen after she was sure Morgana was real "T-That's impossible. You...you died." Macha then says as Morgana hugged her mentor to stop her from possibly starting crying.
The blasters looked at one another, but Macha gave a nod encouraging them to leave while she takes care of Morgana.
Soon enough Morgana broke the hug "Umm...Macha I can probably explain as can you." She said, and soon enough she finished her explanation and Macha looked down sighing.
"I see. I should have predicated this may happen." Macha said before looking to Morgana.
"You see traveling through a Stride Force Gate you arrive at one of many possible future's Morgana." She started as Morgana nods letting her continue.
"Here well...while we won their was a great cost." She continued as both looked to the monument and Morgana winces.
"Many of you died in the final battle, but a great deal of damage was done to the Earth. So when we left many joined us, and some left with Queen Minerva to rebuild her home." Macha continued.
"So Minerva rebuilt her home? Did she and Kathy ever..." Morgana started to ask, but stopped when saw the pained look on Macha's face, but then thinks about what she just said.
"You said many of us died. The monument has all of our names on it though Macha." She then says and Macha realized her mistake and bit her lip as Morgana's next possible question lingered in the air as both knew what would be asked.
"Morgana...Ahmes was the last one to wield the Blaster Blade. Who had it back on Earth?" Macha asked as Morgana's eyes widen.
"So Blade is..." Morgana started and Macha nodded and sighs.
"After that last battle your sister had absolutely nothing Morgana. Minerva refused to talk to her, and even blamed her for Charles death, the news of your death caused a fatal heart attack to your mother, and hours later your step father hung himself." Macha said as Morgana sat down on the ground feeling herself about to faint.
Macha sat down next to her and started to recount what had happened after Kathy had left her home when she saw her father's lifeless body.
[Flashback]
Macha, Ahsha, and the rest of the survivors of Cray were preparing to leave with a handful of travelers who they managed to get into the various rooms of Moonrunner, and were even using the former training room and simulation room to take the various people with them to Cray.
The door opened and a crying 13 year old Kathy came running in and rushed to Ramiel sobbing. While it surprised them all Ramiel worked to calm her as she ran her hand through her hair, and hummed to her. Soon enough Kathy was only sniffling as she told them what had she had seen when she got home.
"I...I have nothing! Nothing left for me here on Earth! I lost my friends, my sister, the girl I...I may have loved despises me, and I just lost my family!" She said as they looked at one another.
"Kathy...do you want to come to Cray with us?" Ahsha asked and she turned to them.
"Y-You'd let me come with you?" She asked and Ramiel nods.
"Earth is causing you so much pain Kathy. The Link Joker's ship is filled with people wanting to go with Minerva to her home." Ramiel told her and glances to the others.
Kathy winced "I...I want to go. I can't stay here. Not with all those memories haunting me." Kathy said.
"Alright Kathy we'll..." Macha started as said girl glared at her.
"I'm tired of being called that. Katharine Ravens is dead as is the Universe Yellow ranger." She started as she handed her morpher to Macha.
Kathy then focused and summoned the Blaster Blade to her and stared at it "...Blade. That is my name now, and the only name I will go by." She told them, and they all nodded in understanding.
[Flashback End]
Morgana was stunned to learn this and looked down to which Macha noticed and put a hand on her knee "Morgana. As I told you this is one of many possible future's." She said.
"Yeah, but it still stings. So much hurt, and so much pain because of our deaths." Morgana says to her as Macha pats her back.
"Well then perhaps there is something you can do to ensure this future isn't an outcome." Macha told her.
Morgana looked to her "How?" she asked Macha.
"As I said this is one possible future. Until it actually happens all futures are in a flux, and all of them are happening at once until one is set." Macha told her as Morgana nods.
"Though what happened? How did...everything end up like this?" Morgana asked and Macha sighed shaking her head.
"I can't tell you that Morgana. If I did well...I don't know what will happen." Macha tells her, and Morgana looks down.
Macha then gets up "I suggest you perhaps go help them out Morgana." She told Morgana who gets up with her.
"Do you think they'll need it?" She asked and Macha looked to her.
"You've battle Reverse Cradle, and Glueball. They could all only benefit as I believe that even with King Alfred's help they will need more." Macha said and Morgana nods stepping forward grabbing the Rebirth Morpher from her side.
++READY!++
++SET!+
"Rebirth Change!" Morgana called out changing into the Rebirth Red Battlizer. She took off as the boosters on the back of the wings on the suit flared to life as she took off at high speed.
That's the end of Episode 49, and Part 2 which we finally got to see a rebuilt Cray years into the future as well as met a handful of the United Sanctuary's first normal army the Royal Paladins. We also met the Blaster Corps, and yes this is one of many different future's I had envisioned for worst case scenario endings. The other's I might explore later as part of a set of Extra (EX) Episode chapters I may have in the making. Anyways I hope you enjoyed this as next chapter may just be the final part of this section before we conclude this arc with my adaption of an event from Ginger's story. So until the next time this has been your friendly fanfiction author decode9!
