Disclaimer: I don't own Eureka seven, yada yada yada. But the new plot and characters and new LFOs are mine.
Chapter 7: Mind games
"Hi Omega what are you doing?" asked Renton as he walked up to Omega's work area.
"Working on a project" Omega said as he typed into his computer.
"Which one?" Renton wanted to know.
"I'm not going to lie, it's a device that's going to help you push Unit seven out" Omega answered in a serious tone.
"Why? Unit seven isn't doing anything now. I think he's gone" Renton said in surprise.
"From this point on, stay near Eureka" Omega said harshly.
"Why did you get so serious" Renton was confused.
"You can face down Unit seven because you want to protect Eureka with everything, and you love her a lot. But when you're away from her, you weaken and Unit seven will use that to take over." Omega replied.
"One other thing, Unit seven is planning something" Omega said before returning to a smile.
"Go make breakfast!" Omega said waving his arms in the air.
"Okay…" Renton said as he inched out of Omega's work area. On his was to the kitchen Renton met up with Eureka, who had changed to a new dress. The dress resembled the one she had worn when she came out of the command cluster sphere.
"Hi guys" Renton said to Eureka and the kids.
"Hi Renton" the kids said together.
"I was going to make breakfast, you want to come along" Renton said.
"It's been a while since we cooked together" Renton continued.
"The kids are excited about having a new brother or sister" Eureka said with a smile.
"So they've been keeping me from moving too much" Eureka continued.
"Holland said the Gekko-Go didn't eat healthy for a while so I guess we should make something healthy for everyone" Renton said rubbing his head.
"But mama won't have to do anything right" Linck said.
"If she doesn't want to" Renton replied. Renton and the kids began making breakfast, but Eureka felt a bit guilty about not helping. Even so, Renton reassured her that she needed to take extra care of her body. Eureka had been spending more time with Talho and learning more and more about being a mother. Omega, after talking to Renton about his medical findings seemed to be less focused on his work. Omega now wasn't always in the hanger so Renton got some time to be alone with WaveRider.
"So much like the Nirvash" Renton said as he explored the LFO's cockpit.
"The amita drive…" Renton said as he saw the empty socket that would fit the compact drive.
Renton…
"Huh? Who said that?" Renton said startled. Renton got out of the cockpit to look around but nothing was there. Just as Renton was about to brush off the thought he heard something else.
Beware my brother…
Renton heard the words and it didn't seem like it was from his mind, but rather, it was around him. The thought occurred to him, he was talking to the WaveRider.
"Are you talking to me, WaveRider" Renton asked.
You must push him out…
The voice was quiet and slow, what ever it was saying. It was hard for it to say it.
Beware the eye-less fighter…
The so quiet voice had faded away, but the words it said burned in his head.
"The eye-less fight?" Renton said in confusion. For that day Renton was trying to recall what the WaveRider had said, trying to understand what it meant but he could come up with nothing.
"Hey Renton! Eureka!" Omega said waving them over.
"Huh, what is it Omega?" Eureka asked.
"I forgot to tell you about the typeWAVE, while it wasn't meant for fighting it do have weapons" Omega said.
"But Nirvash's original design was mostly for the amita drive's actions" Renton said.
"That's true, but we added a few weapons because of the part of the military that broke off" Omega said.
"I thought you should be aware of that" Omega added. Renton and Eureka got into the pilot seat while Omega explained the new controls.
"Now the typeWAVE's controls are a fusion of the old controls, and as you can see, the controls on both sides are the same" Omega said.
"However, the controls have different control on the body. The left side controls the left side, except the left arm. The left controls have control over the right arm, and it's the same for the right side too" Omega added.
"But why is that?" Renton asked.
"With the controls like this, if the pilots are in good sync then the typeWAVE's performance will be great" Omega replied.
"Now look over here" Omega said as he pointed to 3 extra controls in the cockpit.
"What are those" Eureka asked.
"The controls for the weapon system" Omega replied.
"I'll explain what each one is and what it does" Omega said.
"Now this one here" Omega said as he pointed to Renton's side of the controls, there was a red button in front of the control column.
"This is the arm blade button, when you press in when the typeWAVE is in humanoid mode, two blades with come out of the arms" Omega said.
"Now the arm blades aren't that simple, the blades have the ability to cut trappar" Omega continued.
"What affect will that have" Renton asked.
"By doing that you can stop movement and this can cause winds at dangerous speeds" Omega answered.
"Now let's move on, this is the boomerang blade button. I'm sure you're familiar with this" Omega said was he moved his finger to the last button, in the middle of the cockpit above the slot of the compact socket.
"This is known as the wave cannon" Omega's voice became deeper.
"And what does it do" Eureka asked.
"There are slots on the sides of the armor, they suck in trappar and compress them in a camber" Omega said.
"When released, it will force the trappar out in a straight column. But don't worry; we took the time to test the amount of trappar force. If you keep the gauge in the green then it will peel off KLF armor" Omega said with a small smile now.
"A LFO that protects…" Eureka said as she moved her hand on the compact socket.
"This child wants to protect" Eureka added.
I want to protect you two…
Renton was surprised to hear the voice again, but Omega didn't seem to have heard.
"Thanks giving this to us, it's a happy child" Renton said. Soon after when Renton was with Eureka he told her about WaveRider.
"Eureka, I think I can hear WaveRider's voice" Renton said looking confused.
"Renton, that child told me about that already" Eureka said in a soft voice.
"But I don't think I can heard all of it" Renton said still looking confused.
"It's alright" Eureka said. Renton had begun to talk more and more with WaveRider, to try and be able to talk to archetype would be nice. But he couldn't do it well. Months went by and their child had gotten bigger, Eureka and Renton were waiting eagerly for their baby to be born into the world. But Omega seemed to work harder and harder on a project. Omega came to them one day.
"Renton, Eureka, I finished the project I was working on." He said firmly.
"See this?" Omega said as he took out a compact drive.
"That's a compact drive, what's so special about it" Renton asked.
"This is a modified compact drive" Omega replied.
"After Eureka has given birth to your child you need to use this" he said.
"When you use this compact drive it will force emotions and even a personality out" he said waving the compact drive around.
"I'm not sure what you will see but I want you to know this, you need Eureka in order for this to work" Omega continued. He then placed the compact drive into the socket of WaveRider. Just as he did, the Gekko-Go was attacked. A shot hit the hanger door, and the door to the halls of the Gekko-Go was cut off. Omega told Renton and Eureka to go into the typeWAVE, Omega himself ran to the Devilfish. The attacks continued on the hanger, the damage to the Gekko-Go was so bad that Renton and Eureka had to launch. One way or another, the child within Eureka was in danger. Renton was fully aware of this so he tried to move WaveRider more smoothly. Omega was fighting in the Devilfish; he was quite good but not as good as Renton. Renton tried to stay out of fighting but slowly a KLF unit came closer, as it did Renton could feel something. Hatred, anger, the need to kill filled his heart; he knew what it was. Unit seven was coming out; the KLF had something in it that caused this. Renton now desperate to save Eureka activates the compact drive. Renton could see himself entering the zone again, as the pink lights and tunnel continued; Renton found himself in a blue and red land. The colors mixed and in the middle was a huge compact drive. Renton wandered around and saw a figure in the distance, it got closer; it was Renton.
"Renton!" Eureka yelled at Renton who was unconscious.
"WaveRider, please! Help me save Renton!" Eureka yelled desperately. She grabbed Renton's hand on the compact drive and as she did, she also entered the zone.
"Renton?" Eureka asked as she walked through the blue and red land. But off in the distance she could see two people fighting. She got closer, it was two Rentons fighting.
"Renton!" Eureka yelled. They both turned and one yelled back.
"Eureka you have to get out of here"
"I won't leave you!" she yelled back. She couldn't move anymore, for some reason she couldn't move. Unit seven knocked down Renton and ran for Eureka; he took out a knife from his boots. Renton saw this and he could see Unit seven was trying to kill Eureka.
"Stop!" Renton yelled as he got up to run after Unit seven. Eureka closed her eyes, but when she opened them; she was in the arms if Renton.
"Eureka, I won't let him hurt you" he said bravely. He put her down and ran after Unit seven. As he did, Unit seven took the form of a black LFO. It looked a bit like theEND but it wasn't, this was a much eviler LFO. The fingers on the LFO were claws, and it didn't have a ref board. It flew by stepping on trappar. Eureka looked back at Renton, who was still running but when she blinked. The Nirvash spec-2 took his place, an air battle took place. The black LFO's arm broke off into 3 pieces, the fore arm, the hand and the fingers. They whipped in the air trying to strike down Nirvash, but no luck. Nirvash moved faster then the claws could, Nirvash stopped in the air and green lights went into the sides of it. The chest opened up and a huge green light fired, though it hit the black LFO and did some damage. They both continued to fight, as the battle entered the ground, and took on human bodies again. Renton with his will to protect Eureka out matched Unit seven, he slammed his head on the compact drive and Unit seven was sucked in. Renton and Eureka woke up in WaveRider, but the compact drive glowed black and shot out a figure. It was a black Devilfish, the battle was on. Holland and the other LFOs took flight and began a battle too, Omega was holding off the KLFs while WaveRider fought against the black Devilfish. Renton was fading in and out of consciousness, but then he heard Eureka.
"Renton…It hurts" she said as she held her stomach.
"Eureka, please bear with me for a little longer" he said weakly.
"Okay…" Eureka said in pain. Renton knew she couldn't keep this up, so he charged up the trappar cannon. It was out of the green zone, he fired at the black Devilfish; and it hit. As he watched the LFO drop down he turned WaveRider back and headed to the Gekko-Go. Eureka had lost consciousness while he was heading back.
"Eureka?" Renton asked.
"Eureka!" Renton was frantic now.
"Please say some thing!" Renton couldn't take it.
"EUREKA!" Renton yelled.
