As they began to make their way up the main elevator, everyone stood there in silence. To everyone, Elysium was in sight. Rex was finally fulfilling his promise to Pyra. Patroka had finally gotten used to her new heels, and she and Akhos fully adjusted to their new looks in the Flesh Eater forms.

However, Robyn was in rather painful silence himself. He just looked at Fan's Core Crystal and thought about Jin. To him, losing Jin took a major toll on him. In short, he kinda hated everyone that wouldn't listen to him. Lilika and Mòrag didn't try to talk to him about it as it would only deepen the wound.

Haruma approached him.

"My lord, if you wish to consult with me, I will be happy to lend an ear." He said to him.

"Thanks, Karuma, but this is personal. I do appreciate it though." Robyn said while scratching his head.

"Milady, you think he will recover from this soon?" Takiba asked Lilika with concern.

"I can't say for certain. When Robyn feels this level of guilt in any sense, it's difficult to snap him out of it. Even I struggle to cheer him up." Lilika answered while she looked at him.

"We did backstab him a bit. I'm feeling pretty guilty about this." Rex said.

"Tora feels uneasy too." Tora said. Just then, the elevator stopped. "It stop moving." He said.

"Perhaps we have reached the endpoint?" Dromarch asked.

"If we go outside, we find out." Poppi said.

"Good point. Let's have a look." Rex said.

After they exited the elevator, they were heading towards a large window in front of them.

They stopped just as they got to it.

"Whoa…" Robyn said while looking out into space.

"Look up!" Nia said.

"The stars…they're close enough to touch." Brighid said while they saw the stars billions of miles away.

"The other view is quite something as well. Look at the Cloud Sea all the way down there…" Zeke said while they all looked down.

"Whoa…the planet…it's blanketed by the clouds. I have never seen anything like it." Perun said.

"So this is the top of the World Tree…ah! That sound!" Rex said as they looked back when they heard the sound of a bell of sorts.

"Huh? What is that?" Nia asked with confusion.

"It's Elysium." Rex answered.

"Elysium?" Nia asked.

"It sounds just like…church bells. But it's haunting." Lilika said as she gained some goosebumps.

Before they proceeded, Galea appeared by them.

"Ah! I was beginning to think you lost your way after getting some reinforcements." She said.

"Galea…I fear what we might find. It just might be one terrible reminder after another that Robyn and I…" Lilika was trying to say.

"I wouldn't know. The Architect won't let me through to Elysium, let alone his chambers. If you are to meet him, you're on your own. Anyway! Onto a brighter subject." She said with a smile.

"The time has come, hasn't it?" Robyn asked.

"If you two will join me upstairs, I'll get you to the main control system to initiate Operation: Green Aura." She said.

"Good luck. Thank you for everything, Galea." Lilika said.

She met them at the top where she stood there waiting. Robyn and Lilika followed her until they met her by the biggest desk in the room.

"Insert the cards there." She said while pointing.

Lilika nodded and she inserted her keycard in the slot nearest to her.

"KEYCARD 1 ACCEPTED." The machine stated. Robyn inserted his keycard in the one opposite to hers. "KEYCARD 2 ACCEPTED." It stated again.

Just then, a large red lever emerged and handles popped out on each side.

"Ready Lilika? Ready to save the world?" Robyn asked with a confident smile.

She took a deep breath and looked at him.

"Yeah! Let' do it!" She yelled with a bigger smile.

They took the lever and they pulled down the lever hard. The monitors around showed them the World Tree activating the glyphs. The big monitor showed a countdown.

"OPERATION: GREEN AURA INITIATED. 15 MINUTES UNTIL AURA PULSE WAVE." The machine stated.

"WOOHOO!" Robyn shouted as he jumped happily.

"This plan better work!" Lilika said with a bit of worry.

"One way to find out! Now come on! Onto Elysium!" Robyn yelled.

"Oh, before you both go, General Sigma brought this up here not long before you all returned to the World Tree." Galea said as a compartment opened next to Lilika, and half of a Core Crystal popped out. "It's Fan la Norne's other half recovered." She added.

"What!? Galea…can't the Architect do something for Fan, and help her recall her true name? He's God!" Lilika asked her.

"It is a possibility. The Architect will know what to do." She said.

"And if all goes well, I know just the person to resonate with her." Robyn said.

"Who? Rex?" Lilika asked while looking at him.

"No…Lora." He answered.

"Lora? Well…she WAS Haze's Driver before Amalthus." Mythra said while looking at the pieces.

"Can she even be brought back to life? Not even us Healer Blades can do that!" Floren yelled.

"That's where doctors, neurotologists, and technicians come in. Don't worry. I'm confident that she'll make it." Robyn said to him.

As they marched their way through the long hallway, they reached a pair of metal doors. After they opened, a bit of dust flew in, but sunlight, clouds, and even stars were visible from above.

"It sure is bright." Nia said.

"Yeah…it's right through here. I'm sure of it. We've almost reached Elysium." Rex said.

"It is…incredible." Mayonaka said.

"Where exactly are we?" Lilika asked.

They made a run for a tree on a ledge. They were hoping that they'll see what Rex described as Elysium. However…

"What…?" Robyn asked as they were looking at what appeared to be badlands that stretched for miles with ruins everywhere.

"W-what is this place!?" Rex asked.

"Is this lonely place Elysium?" Floren asked while holding his beating heart. Perun knelt to him and held his shoulders.

"No…" Pyra whispered.

"…Can this place really be Elysium…? Where's the greenery? The water? Birdsong? There's nothing. Nothing here at all!" Rex yelled with sympathy.

"I can't believe this…what has happened?" Perun asked.

"What a wretched sight…I have not seen anything like this in all my years on Alrest." Azurda said.

"P-Pyra!?" Rex yelled while everyone looked at the Aegis.

"I don't understand…I don't get it! This…this is not how I remembered…" Pyra said while she was getting emotional. Robyn went to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. She looked back at him. "Robyn!" She yelled as she hugged him.

"That bell sound must be coming from somewhere. Is someone here?" Mòrag asked.

"Hopefully." Roc said.

"Hmm…" Brighid said to herself and thought.

"Over there. Poppi detect one big thing, kind of like building, over in that direction. Sound seem like it come from there." Poppi said while looking in the direction of a church.

"That building, eh? Then there is no point hanging around here." Zeke said.

"Yeah…only one way to find out. Let's go, Rex." Pandoria said.

"All right. It might still be okay. Maybe it's just this bit that's destroyed. There's bound to be something that way." Rex said while they looked towards the church.

"If there is someone there, I sure have a hunch who it is." Robyn said.

"God." Lilika said.

"Hey Floren, what's the matter? Cheer up!" Zeke said while looking at his Blade.

"The land is choked with sand…is this really Elysium? No flowers, no trees, no grass. Just a barren plain of rocks and sand. Look. I bet that was a beautiful lake once. But there isn't even a drop left." Floren said while looking at the dried-up lake.

"Can't imaging they get much rain here." Zeke said.

"Water is essential for life. But there isn't any here. This place is completely barren. Some places have a drought now and again, but they still have a little hope. This place…it's just…dead." Floren said while looking down.

"I wonder if there is some way to bring back the old greenery." Zeke said while thinking.

"No roots can take hold in sand like this. And nothing is going to grow without water. Wait! Maybe something CAN grow!" Floren said as the thought came to him.

"What do you mean, Floren?" Perun asked.

"Well, you know life is a powerful thing. It may be too dry for seeds here, but…" Floren was saying.

"We could get some seedlings from somewhere and plant them here?" Zeke asked.

"Yes! At first, they probably won't last very long. But as plants die, their remains fertilize the soil. They'll be giving their goodness back to the next generations. It'll take a while. But do it enough times…and eventually this dead land can be restored to life!" Floren yelled while swaying his body left and right.

"Hey! There we go! Back to your old self!" Zeke said happily.

"Yes! Thank you. I'm going to do it. I'm going to bring back the vegetation!" Floren yelled.

"Floren, it's amazing that you find positivity in moments like this. If anything, we could use that right now." Robyn said while rubbing his head.

"Alright!" Floren yelled while looking at him with a girlish face.

"Anyway. Let's head for the church." Mòrag said.

As they made their way down the hill, they walked along an abandoned road where they continued to see nothing but ruins.

"This place looks like it was once a big city, and quite an old one at that." Dromarch said.

"Wow. Dusty." Patroka said while covering her face to prevent sand from getting into her face.

"It's actually like the stuff we saw in Morytha." Zeke said.

"We saw a lot of Morytha from above on the Monoceros. Malos was right, it's nothing to write home about." Akhos said.

"Way more dusty, though. Maybe because it's so dry up here." Nia said.

Lilika then saw an old playground nearby and grew more upset.

"The swing set…the playground…so lonely…abandoned…so sad. Huh? A tricycle?" Lilika asked when she saw the toddler's bike by them.

Rex approached it and touched it. The tricycle faded away from the touch.

"It seems to have been a child's vehicle." Pyra said.

"A tricycle…like a toy…I don't know how to describe or explain it." Lilika began to choke in her words before bursting into tears, dropping to her knees, and covering her face. "Robyn…no…why…gracious why!?" She sobbed while feeling like she just lost her childhood.

"Lilika…" Akhos said while holding her.

"So that means…people lived here, once." Rex said.

"It must've been a grand old city. It stretches further than the eye can see. You could fit…the entire population of Alrest into this place, and with room to spare." Mòrag said.

"Huh…?" Robyn said to himself as he looked towards the playground area. He then looked towards a rock by the swing set…with something on it. He felt like that rock seemed very familiar somehow until it hit him. He gasped very loudly and ran to it, catching everyone's attention.

"Did you recognize something, Lord Robyn?" Mayonaka asked while they went after him.

He fell onto his knees and inspected the rock.

"Wait a minute. This rock looks very eerily familiar. I wonder…give me your blaster Jacu." Robyn said to his Blade.

She gave it to him and he fired a few shots at it. He removed his gloves and brushed off the dirt and mud from the rock. He then froze up for a moment and slowly looked back at everyone with a pale face like he saw the scariest moment in his life.

"Robyn? Sweetheart, are you alright!?" Mòrag asked.

He then looked at Lilika.

"Lilika…" He began as he presented the rock to her…with their initials. "Welcome home." He finished.

Everyone gasped at what he said.

"No…this…this can't be!" Lilika yelled as her heart began to beat faster.

She took a closer look, and to her horror, he was right. She remembered when they were very young, they carved their initials into this rock to show signs of their everlasting friendship.

"This place…is where…the ancient ones are from!?" Zeke yelled.

Robyn got up and ran off. He fell to his knees and finally snapped. He screamed and cried his eyes out, realizing that their home was ruined. His anger at Klaus and his goons grew so much more.

Patroka attempted to go to him, only for Mòrag and Akhos to block her.

"Ah uh!" Akhos said while shaking his head.

"Wait…I remember now. The Beanstalk was a research facility in outer space. Robyn and I were with other scientists trying to work towards a better world. Robyn developed cryogenic pods, but Professor Klaus used those against us." She said before she closed her eyes and cried more. "But he unknowingly saved us from whatever happened. Now I realize that Alrest has nothing like this play area…no swings…no slides or sports places…nothing for children to play on. Everything is gone. What and how did this happen?" Lilika asked.

"Maybe Amalthus wanted to stop us from seeing this ruined place. Maybe that's why he attacked." Floren said while thinking.

"The dude tried to kill us!" Zeke said.

Lilika began to think of a song she loved and through tears, began to recall the melody and words.

Here we are

Riding the sky

Painting the night with sun

You and I, mirrors of light

Twin flames of fire

Lit in another time and place

I knew your name

I knew your face

Your love and grace

Past and present now embrace

Worlds collide in inner space

Unstoppable, the song we play

Burn the page for me

I cannot erase the time of sleep

I cannot be loved so set me free

I cannot deliver your love

Or caress your soul so

Turn that page for me

I cannot embrace the touch that you give

I cannot find solace in your words

I cannot deliver you your love

Or caress your soul

Age to age

I feel the call

Memory of future dreams

You and I, riding the sky

Keeping the fire bright

From another time and place

I know your name

I know your face

Your touch and grace

All of time cannot erase

What our hearts remember stays

Forever on a song we play

Burn the page for me

I cannot erase the time of sleep

I cannot be loved so to set me free

I cannot deliver your love

Or caress your soul so

Turn that page for me

I cannot embrace the touch that you give

I cannot find solace in your words

I cannot deliver you your love

Or caress your soul

Robyn slowly looked back at Lilika while she sang. This was the first time he heard her sing…and she was pretty good.

Wow…never knew you had it in you." Corvin said.

"It was a song from long ago…it was one of my favorites." Lilika said.

(Touko here! The song is from Two Steps from Hell. It really is an amazing group specializing in trailer music, and the song 'Star Sky' is a favorite of mine! No bad piece yet! CHECK THEM OUT! Links in the description!)

(TheDrock900 and Sailor-Touko667 are not the owners of the group and song. They belong to Two Steps from Hell. Please support the official release.)

"Let's press on, everyone. It's time to meet the Architect." Lilika said.

The group continued, and they all did their best not to look back at the playground, especially Robyn and Lilika. They went up the hill and they saw the church in front of them.

"Is that it?" Rex asked.

After one last gong, everything went silent. When they approached the doorway, they swung open.

"A signal we should enter, perhaps?" Azurda asked.

"We probably should." Rex said before they entered.

"Lilika, what is this place? A church?" Zeke asked as he was curious about the place.

"This building was one of many once…a place for religious congregation and worship through prayer, word, and song. How can this get any worse?" Lilika asked

"Welcome home…my children." A voice spoke around them.

"Who's there!" Rex yelled while they looked around.

"Father…?" Pyra asked.

"What? You don't mean…?" Rex asked.

"The Architect is here…? But where?" Mòrag asked.

"I am always here. Come to me." The voice said before the altar before them opened up in front of them.

"Please look! Over there, is staircase!" Poppi yelled while pointing.

"I bet we gotta follow this path to reach the Architect." Lilika said. 'Why wasn't this behind the organ? This would've been more appropriate.' She thought.

"It seems to lead to a lower level." Mòrag said.

"Hmm…guess we have to." Rex said.

They went down the stairs and they were going all the way down. They saw an opening that led to a dark room where the doors closed behind them. Lights shined down on them from above.

(D-Rock here! We decided to skip the horrific scenes that lurk in their hearts mainly because I thought it was pointless in a way, and Touko thought it was disturbing.)

"Welcome…children." The voice said.

"That voice." Rex said. A small window opened, and the room lit up a bit. "You're…" He tried to say.

They saw a withered old man who was very skinny, pale, with long brown hair, green eyes and had technology attached to his body.

"My name is Klaus. The Architect of this world." The man spoke.

Lilika gasped and clapped her mouth.

"No…no way! KLAUS! How…could you…? But…you saved us in the end." Lilika said while processing all that was happening.

"YOU!" Robyn exploded at him and slowly went to him.

"NO! "Jacu shouted as she and the rest of his Blades grabbed him and held him back.

"BASTARD! YOU SENT COUNTLESS LIVES TO THEIR DEATHS!" Robyn screamed at the top of his lungs while struggling to break through. "LET ME GO!" He shouted to his Blades.

"ROBYN!" Lilika shouted and got in front of him. "Look at him! If he didn't do what he did…we wouldn't be here, or as us right now!" She yelled while cupping his cheeks.

He looked at her with anger. He then looked back at Klaus, the man that took everything away from them. It took a bit, but he restrained himself a bit.

"Lilika…I welcome his anger." Klaus said, gaining her attention.

"Klaus…where's Logos…or rather, where's Malos?" She asked him.

"He is up ahead…fulfilling his supposed 'role.' Now then, I have watched over you all this time. I have seen your thoughts. Your desires. The things you have achieved." Klaus said.

"Architect, sir…I came here because I met Pyra. Is this place really Elysium? Are you really…?" Rex asked.

"I will show you everything. Memories…mine, and those of this planet." Klaus said as his memories millennia ago began to present themselves.

"Klaus…you fool…what happened after Robyn and I were sealed away? What happened to create Alrest?" Lilika asked.

He began to explain when Robyn and Lilika were sealed away with Lilika a special amethyst pendant shaped like a cross, and all that had transpired after they were sealed away. He had lost hope for mankind and began to search for a conclusion.

"And one day, I found it. The Conduit. Why it chose to appear before us, I do not know. However, its existence presented a new possibility." Klaus explained.

"Possibility?" Rex asked.

"Our world was not the only one." Klaus said as he began to tell them about it. He then opened the forbidden pathway, despite Galea's protest. Everything went black and exploded from what he did. "You have seen the plain called Morytha, have you not?" He asked them.

"Yes, we did…it's so cold." Floren said while shivering a bit.

"That is what remains of my world…or rather our world. When I opened the Conduit, many people, and many things…disappeared into distant dimensions." He said just as the room got brighter and more technology began to show itself. "All that remained here were the ruins of Morytha…Robyn…Lilika…and half of my body." He finished as his other half looked like it had become a portal to another dimension.

Everyone gasped at the very sight of him. Robyn was shocked and he backed away, giving his Blades time to relax that he didn't try to go to him again.

"Your…body…" Rex said.

"What happened, Great Master?" Mayonaka asked.

"Half of me lives on in some other dimension. But…not for much longer." Klaus said.

"What do you mean?" Mòrag asked.

"The moment of my other self's demise draws near." He answered once more.

"So…does that mean…?" Praxis asked.

"When your other self perishes, you will too!" Mayonaka said.

"Do you know what your other half is doing?" Lilika asked.

"That…I know not, Lilika." He said while shaking his head.

"Father, you…" Pyra whimpered.

"I was a fool." He said.

"Klaus…since you act as Alrest's God…are you able to fix half of a Blade's Core Crystal? Amalthus awakened a woman Blade named Haze, stole half her core, and renamed her Fan la Norne without her remembering her name. He did it to use her powers as he did when he revealed his true self to us earlier. Please…can you help?" Lilika asked with the strength of her heart.

"Yes. Present it to me." He said.

Lilika and Robyn presented the pieces to him, although Jacu took his half for safety reasons. Klaus took the pieces and with his divine powers, he made them levitate into the air. The pieces emerged together, completing the Core Crystal. Suddenly, another Core Crystal materialized next to it.

"It is done…with interest. Treat them carefully." Klaus said as the two crystals went to Lilika.

"Thank you." Lilika said with a bow.

"But…aother Core Crystal?" Robyn asked. Klaus just simply nodded with no response, confusing him.

"What is your mindset, Klaus? I'm bewildered." Lilika wondered.

"To make amends…for my foolishness." Klaus said.

"Oh…" Lilika said.

"Because of my foolishness, I lost everything. Left here, alone and broken, I longed for oblivion. But even that eluded me. This is my punishment. Retribution from on high, for the sin I have committed." Klaus said while looking up at schematics from above them.

"But…if you hadn't done what you did, Robyn and I…might not even be here right now, talking to you." Lilika said.

"Even so…there were others that weren't so lucky. However, there was only one thing I can do. I had to atone for my sin. I swore to restore this world." Klaus said as everything went black again.

"Wha…?" Rex asked. Just then, they began to see his creations.

"The first thing I created was a special particular substance with the ability to restore deteriorated matter. You all know it as the Cloud Sea." Klaus said as the Cloud Sea appeared beneath them. He explained about its purpose was to help copy the images of the old world. Little by little, he could build a new world from the old world.

"So, it's purpose is to slowly restore your world?" Agate asked.

"That's right. Next, I began to recreate life." Klaus continued as he took a Core Crystal and dropped it and more memories were shown. "I gathered miniature vessels containing memories of all this planet's former lifeforms, and I scattered them across the Cloud Sea. There are the Core Crystals. The crystals bonded with the Cloud Sea's particulate reconstructors and formed the nuclei of new life. Soon, the Titans, who would over time grow larger and larger. Finally, the Titans gave birth to complex organisms based on the data in their Core Crystals. This was the beginning of mankind's new era." Klaus explained what they were seeing.

"Oooooohhhhh…." Finch said while watching.

"I think someone needs to translate for Finch." Nia said while pinching the bridge of her nose.

"This man played God." Robyn said.

"Finch understands now…wait!? Wha…?" Finch asked while tilting her head.

"So that's how we came to live in this world." Mòrag said.

"What might the other Core Crystal be for?" Mayonaka asked while looking at the other crystal Lilika had.

"One that could aide you for what the world will throw at you, if you choose to fight, and win against Malos." Klaus answered.

"But…people have figured out how to disrupt the cycle of a Blade's life o he or she doesn't become a Titan. I think your plan is coming undone.

"Perhaps. Not even super-beings are perfect. But I did not trust this world, born as it had been. What if it were to repeat our mistakes? What if someone like me…or Lilika and Robyn appeared? To stave off these doubts, I implemented one final measure. And so the Blades were born." Klaus said as everything went black again and showed more memories.

"What?" Robyn asked what he meant.

"You created Logos, who became Malos…and Pneuma, who became Mythra, to collect data on all knowledge the Blades accumulated, right?" Lilika asked.

"You see right through me Lilika. You had always been clever even after 2000 years. Ontos, Logos, and Pneuma…the three cores of the Trinity Processor formed their cornerstone. However, Ontos triggered a space-time transition event, and disappeared forever. I was left with Logos and Pneuma, entrusting them with managing the Blades. Malos and Pyra. Those are the names that you now know them under." Klaus explained.

"So, I am…Pneuma." Pyra said.

"'Managing?'" Dromarch asked.

"The Core Crystals at the heart of each Blade are tasked with relaying all kind of information to Logos and Pneuma. About the selection pressures of the outside world, and biological status of their bonded human, but also the experiences and emotions they share. As the data continually accrues, new evolutionary codes are sent back to the Core Crystals, and the code is used to create new, further evolved Blades. These Blades too become Titans, in time, and create new generations of lifeforms. This was the new circle of life I had created." Klaus explained more o what he meant.

"Whoa…this is all too much to take in." Agate said.

"A grand scheme. It boggles to the mind a tad." Azurda said.

"So we were all born from this endless life cycle. To replace the victims of the previous world." Rex said.

"That's right. But there were a handful of survivors. You are already acquainted with two of them." Klaus said.

"They found Galea…" Lilika whimpered while looking down.

"You saw them at Morytha. The unfortunate ones who clung to life." Klaus pointed out.

"It was awful, very awful. Mistress Lilika and Lord Robyn might have been among them if you had not sealed them away." Mayonaka pointed out to them.

"Core Crystals were first conceived as a replacement for human brain cells. A product of mankind's age-old quest for immortality." Klaus said.

"So in one sense, from what I am gathering, their sacrifice was not in vain. Though…not all may see it as such." Azurda said.

"Are we to take that as to mean that we Blades are meant to replace humankind from the destroyed world?" Mayonaka asked.

"In other words, in the end, did we develop as you had hoped?" Dromarch asked.

"What do you think?" Klaus asked.

"That is…a difficult question to answer." Mayonaka said while thinking about it.

"All of you…you were not in any way different from us, before. That's why I did not intervene. 500 years ago, when that man Amalthus finally arrived here. I did nothing when he took away Logos and Pneuma. I stood and watched as Logos, instantiated into Blade form, set out to purge this world." Klaus said.

"You don't make sense! Didn't you go to all that trouble to rebuild it!? Then why would you…?" Rex asked but stopped himself.

"It is fate. It is fated to happen. It cannot but happen. My atonement was doomed from the start." Klaus answered.

"That can't be-" Pyra whimpered while holding her chest.

"I had made peace with it. Once more, I longed for nothing but to disappear. However, something has now changed. And that is you, Rex. You and Pneuma." Klaus said.

"Me and…Pyra and Mythra…?" Rex asked.

"You reforged your bond in a way I had not thought possible. And the life you share. Moreover, the Conduit, which fell into a stubborn silence after the world's end, has begun stirring once more. Rex…the power you and Pneuma exercise is the Conduit's power. But with its help, the world may be about to change." Klaus explained while looking at the cores on their chest, and how they are similar.

"All of this…is too much to understand!" Agate yelled.

Just then, they felt a rumble under their feet.

"What's all this shaking!?" Rex yelled while maintaining his balance.

"It is Operation: Green Aura. It has finally begun." Klaus said.

"What do we do now?" Mayonaka asked.

"Logos…he is ahead. He may be attempting to interrupt the process. Observe." Klaus said as he showed them a visual of what was happening.

The World Tree had begun glowing and a large green aura waved away from the tree to the Titans around it. More followed shortly afterward.

"Whoa…!" Robyn said.

"That's amazing." Vale said while smiling.

"Wow…!" Praxis yelled as she too smiled.

"So it's working!?" Robyn yelled happily.

"YES! THIS IS INCREDIBLE!" Lilika shrieked happily as she hugged him, realizing that they were saving the world.

As they celebrated with the world restoring, a powerful tremor happened, causing them to fall.

"OUCHIES! BY BEAK!" Finch shouted as she held her face.

"What's going on!?" Mayonaka yelled.

"I don't think that's energy coming out of the tree! Something hit us!" Robyn yelled.

Klaus used his powers to see what was happening. He gasped and his eye widen at what he saw.

"Is it HIM!?" Lilika shouted as they stood up.

"No…Operation: Green Aura! It's working too well!" He answered.

"What went wrong!?" Lilika yelled.

"Observe." He said.

They continued to watch the visual that he created and saw several new lifeforms emerging from the Cloud Sea. One of them was Indo rising in front of the other Titans when Amalthus took over them.

"No way!" Zeke yelled while backing away.

"Impossible! Indol blown to pieces!" Tora yelled.

Suddenly, another Titan emerged from behind Indol, except this one was massive. It roared and expanded its wings. Pyra gasped and switched to Mythra.

"That's…no way…TORNA!?" Mythra screamed.

"THE TORNA!?" Zeke shouted.

"Astonishing! It appears that the aura is causing a powerful jumpstart to the Titan's Core Crystals! Some are from the Aegis War 500 years ago!" Azurda said in amazement.

"How is this possible!?" Pandoria yelled.

"I guess they weren't exaggerating when Galea said that Robyn and Lilika were gonna restore the world." Azurda said.

"Oh wow!" Pandoria yelled happily.

"So…is life being restored to Torna!?" Floren asked.

"Oh yeah!" Robyn yelled.

"Malos, he may be on the verge of destroying it. Remember, at heart he is nothing but an information processing unit. Neither good nor evil. He is driven by a certain impulse. The despair that man Amalthus felt." Klaus said.

"I see. So it was right. What I felt back then, I mean." Rex said before Mythra switched back to Pyra.

"Rex…" Pyra whispered.

"Robyn…Lilika…what if I told you…that you surfaced twice?" Klaus asked them.

"How is that possible? We have no memory of it!" Lilika asked.

"You're right. You were still frozen." Klaus said as everything went black again, this time showing them Torna's capital Auresco with their monarchs, along with someone who appeared to be Niall's ancestor with his Blades…Aegaeon and Brighid.

Brighid gasped before taking out her journal and rummaging through the pages.

"Emperor Niall looks almost exactly like my Driver at this time…he must have been Emperor Hugo Ardanach. How come I didn't write anything about this in my journal!?" Brighid yelled while still searching for that answer.

"You…and Aegaeon?" Mòrag asked.

"You were discovered by the first generation of salvagers. For three days, they tried everything to activate them. However, you were found at the hype of the Aegis War 500 years ago. You sank once again…by Mythra." Klaus said when a Siren blasted the capital in the flashback. The flashback ended.

'NO! DO NOT MAKE ME SEE THAT AGAIN!' Mythra screamed and begged Pyra to look away.

"Oh…maybe it was a good thing…who knows what might have happened to us back then." Lilika said while thinking about if they were awoken.

"Why couldn't Mor Ardain have just kept them so they could try to awaken the ones inside?" Praxis asked.

"They were unable to evacuate them in time." Klaus said.

"Great…so I guess…we are Tornan people." Robyn said.

"Pneuma. No, I should call you Pyra and Mythra." Klaus called for her.

"What is it?" Pyra asked.

"I want to apologize. For having burdened you with all this." Klaus said.

"Don't worry. We're actually grateful." Pyra said before walking to him. "Thanks to you, Father, we got to meet Rex and everyone else. Those are cherished memories." Pyra said while holding her heart.

Klaus smiled and slowly raised a hand to her. The crystals on her chest and crown glowed and she transformed into Pneuma.

"Father…" She said.

"I have transferred all of Elysium's data and authorizations to you. Make me proud." Klaus said.

"We will." She said.

"Rex." Klaus said.

"Yes?" He asked.

"I will disappear soon. When I do, the Conduit will likely disappear from this world. You will not be able to use your power forever." Klaus warned them.

"I understand. We'll make do somehow." Rex said.

"I'm counting on you. Lilika…Robyn…" Klaus said to them.

"We won't let you down…Klaus." Lilika said.

"I know that you can't forgive me for what I did, but I trust you to set things right…forevermore." Klaus said with a small smile.

"You saved us from what you did…thank you." Lilika said with a slight bow.

He slowly nodded. They then rushed out, only for Rex and Pneuma to stop.

"Klaus! Have you changed your mind about this world?" Rex asked him.

"Right now…I think…I am glad I met you all." He answered.

"Got it. Then our answers match! Thank you for giving us all life." Rex said.

After a bit of a pause, Robyn slowly approached him and stopped in front of him.

"I forgive you…" He said out of the blue.

"Robyn!?" Lilika yelled while going to him and held his hand, only to see his eyes closed. "Huh!?" She yelled again.

"Everything you did to us, everything that you did to our world, and how you fixed it…I forgive you." Robyn said while opening his eyes and looked at him.

"Good luck…Robyn." He said while looking up at him.

He nodded and they ran out and met up at a window where they saw the world visible underneath them.

"Pneuma, where's Malos?" Rex asked.

"If he is here, I know where he must have gone…the greatest of all Artifices. The Artifice that exist solely to destroy the world…Aion." Pneuma answered.

"Aion…? So that's what Malos meant!" Rex yelled.

Just then, Galea appeared once again by them. Robyn turned to her and approached her.

"Galea, pull up the ring for me please." Robyn said.

She did just that and showed the whole station. They saw the ring around Alrest.

"What is it you are searching for, Mr. Vice President?" Galea asked him.

"I'm…searching for answers. How long did the construction of the ring last and how did they get up here?" He asked her.

"Approximately 867 years, 9 months, 14 days. They used ion thrusters to blast them into orbit. A special connector is used to keep the Beanstalk standing." Galea said while showing schematics and blueprints in hologram forms that showed the ring's construction.

"Uh-huh!" Robyn said.

"What's going on?" Finch asked while jumping and getting a closer look at the holograms.

"I'm rediscovering something. Mostly seeing the connectors of the space station." Robyn answered.

"Come on! We got to keep going!" Rex yelled.

"Yeah!" Robyn said as he clapped his hands and the hologram disappeared.

They made their way down a hanger where the Colossi were being stashed. It was massive and they knew Aion was coming up. Just then, Robyn passed by a door that opened. He looked inside and froze up. He was in thought for a moment believe that something in there could come in handy in case things got ugly.

But then, he thought of something.

After he caught up with the others, they saw a massive hanger door. It was from there where the group will face off against their greatest challenge yet. How will it go? What's in the second Core Crystal? Find out next time as the story continues.
