Chapter 11: Seven flying colors
"Renton/Eureka watch out!" Both Holland and Adrock said at the same time. The four Exiellenias were coming in to attack Eureka again.
"Damn it, I need a bit more concentration…" Renton said. He knew that as the power of the cross-over point increased his density in Eureka's side would become greater and he could do so much more. For now, the KLFs on his side were his worries, however, Renton was worried about Eureka and how she will defend against four Exiellenias.
"Renton… When I can see him clearly, when I get him, I won't let him go" Eureka said to herself. Eureka readied herself for the four Exiellenia's perfectly synced attack but to her surprise and everyone's they attacked each other. They were fighting amongst themselves to attack Eureka but this was good news for her because this would mean she didn't have to fight them all at once. The power of the cross-over was reaching a point where Renton could see trappar shaping into other KLFs. From the confusion of the appearances from the other sides both KLF sides began attacking each other and because the energy levels of the cross-over were strong enough they could damage each other.
"Eureka!? Can you hear me?!" Renton yelled desperately into the intercom. The Gekko-Go began picking up on Renton's intercom signals and tried to send some back, all efforts were in vain as the trappar that formed their bodies kept breaking up. Even though Renton had sliced a KLF's arm side that was on Eureka's side, it remained because his arm had broken up in Eureka's world. Attacks were chanced, even if it was a dead shot, there was a large chance that the person would escape unharmed.
"Renton… The cross-over point's about to reach the limit, soon it'll over load and stop!" Omega yelled to him through the intercom.
"I did some calculations; we can't get dense enough before the cross-over over loads!" Omega's voice ran through Renton's spine.
"No, if we abandon Eureka now she might not make it, I have to try something!" Renton yelled back. Omega was right the density that he was at plateau and he knew that he couldn't get any denser in Eureka's world. Even so, he managed to intervene with a few attacks from the Exiellenias but this victory was going to be short lived as he couldn't intervene with all of them. Somehow, Eureka had a feeling that she had to pick one of the Exiellenias to help; she had a feeling that they wanted her to pick one of them as her ally. Eureka franticly tried to pick one but all of them seemed equal in power and she knew some else that no one else knew. When the cross-over would over load then the four Exiellenias would stop their fight with each other and turn their attention to Eureka. As the time limit was getting closer the four Exiellenias made more attacks on Eureka them on themselves and just before they launched a combination attack Eureka wanted to choose the typeWill. It seemed too late as they locked on to her and readied an attack.
"Renton, please…help me" Eureka called out. A blue light lit from Eureka's jewel.
"I promise I'll protect you from the four Exiellenias!" Renton's voice ran through Eureka.
"I won't let Eureka die, not in a place like this!" Renton yelled. He felt Eureka call to him and he felt as though she was there with him; it was a long shot but it was all he had. He pulled the Amita drive's column.
"Eureka, retreat now!" Holland yelled. Something happened, everyone from both side turned their heads to a small pink orb that solidified; it began to sparkle and a large pink light burst from it. Everyone heard a voice and it ran through to everyone.
"EUREKA!" The voice was fierce and protective. A large column of light shot up to where the pink orb was and in the middle of it all everyone saw a LFO become clear. The pillar of light bent down and seven rings shot down and it spread out throughout the area and when it passed the KLFs and ships, both sides merged and were in one area. Everyone saw the source of the phenomenon; Renton had just unleashed the Seven Swell and his resolve to protect Eureka was great. The four Exiellenias' attack was almost charged up when the Nirvash at a super high speed rammed right in the typeSlasher. The Nirvash held the typeSlasher by the neck and quickly turned to the typeCross where it threw the typeSlasher to. He bolted to the typeFlyer and flipped it off its board and slammed into the typeWill which tried to hit him. He smashed the board of the typeWill and tossed it to the ground and Renton turned to the other KLFs and charged at them with such speed that they were knocked off or had a piece of armor torn off.
"Renton did survive…" Holland muttered. Everyone watched as the Nirvash tore its way through the entire enemy KLF forces before the effects started to wear off.
"Renton!" Eureka yelled as the speed that the Nirvash has acquired disappeared.
"Eureka!" Renton yelled as he reached out the Nirvash's hand. Before the two hands met Eureka saw the Nirvash's arm disappear into the trappar again.
"No! Renton!" Eureka yelled as hard as she could and Renton heard this.
"Please, just a little longer!" Renton yelled as he saw Eureka's image break up. The two sides passed each other but they had scattered already and the cross-over point was burnt out.
"Damn it… I failed Eureka… But at least I know you're safe…" Renton said as he stared at his hands.
"I should've grabbed Renton when I had the chance… But I'll rest more easily because I know he's still alive…" Eureka said as she placed her hand on her chest.
"When he comes back… I want to be his…" Eureka said as she turned back to the Gekko-Go.
"Eureka, next time we meet I swear I will return to our world" Renton said with determination. He returned to the Dango-Go and stepped out of the Nirvash and quietly walked to the door where Adrock stopped him.
"You really did use the Seven Swell didn't you?" Adrock asked as he walked by.
"Only because Eureka was in danger" he said bitterly.
"Please… leave me alone for a while…" he said quietly. He returned to his room and fell on the bed.
"I will keep my promise to you Eureka, I will return to you…" he said even more determination.
"Eureka… I guess we know for sure that Renton is alive now" Holland said trying to cheer Eureka up.
"Holland… When we see each other in the next cross-over point, Renton will come back to us" Eureka said coldly. Everyone backed away from Eureka she seemed really upset that Renton was only able to save her. He returned to her room and found herself lying down on the bed. She let out a small smile.
"Renton always keeps his promises… Even if it needs to be a miracle, Renton always keeps it…" Eureka whispered her self.
"Even if I can't keep my promise… Renton will keep it for me…" she was really proud to call Renton her's. She placed her hands on her face and imagined Renton again and how he slammed into the typeSlasher she could see that he used the Nirvash to punch it. She recalled everything that happened. First Renton smashed into the typeSlasher, and then he threw the typeSlasher at the typeCross. Then he charged at the typeFlyer and used it to stop the typeWill's attack. She could clearly see that Renton used the Nirvash to step on the ref board to break it in half. She was aware that the four Exiellenias had escaped and would try to torment her in her dreams but after what Renton did to them, they can't even get her to flinch.
"He's so cool" Eureka said as she turned over to her stomach. She started wave her legs back and forth and she was looking at a picture of Renton from when he got "cooked" in the washroom with Holland.
"My Renton…" Eureka said as she kissed the picture.
"Eureka's really upset now…" Dominic said sighing.
"Yeah… I guess I know how she feels, Renton disappeared in front of her again…" Anemone said sadly.
"Holland said that Dr. Bear repaired the last piece of the message from Raymond's disk" Dominic said.
"We'll let Eureka recover a bit before we tell her…" he added.
"Renton… You want to have lunch with me?" Helen asked nervously from outside his door. Renton's thoughts of Eureka burst when he heard Helen's voice.
"I guess so…" he said quietly and weakly. He was pretending to be depressed even though he was happy to see Eureka and the Exiellenia again. He knew that he, at the very least showed her that he would keep his promise and that he was still alive. He got out and looked down for most of the way to the cafeteria. Renton felt that Helen was really nervous around him but he brushed the thought off and ate quietly.
"Hey Renton, you're really amazing with mechanics…" she said softly. Renton looked up and saw that Helen was smiling.
"I've done a lot of maintenance on the Nirvash before so I know which parts are better then others" he said as he placed the fork down. The cafeteria was large square room and there were four tables that were lined up parallel to each other. Norbu and Sakuya were eating on the table next to them.
"You're feeling better" Sakuya said cheerfully. Renton turned around and looked at the couple.
"Yeah… I guess so" Renton replied. He had already felt better when he returned to his room after the battle in the cross-over point. The thoughts of the Eureka always seemed to make him happy.
"So that was the Seven Swell wasn't it?" Adrock asked as he entered the room.
"I assume that you're feeling better now?" he added.
"Yeah… Now that I know the four Exiellenias won't bother her now" he said.
"Renton… I need to ask you this… How could you use the Amita drive by yourself?" Adrock had a lot of questions for him.
"I didn't, Eureka was close enough to me so I was able to use it" Renton said as he took another bite at his meal.
"How many times have you used the Amita drive?" he was getting ready for another question.
"I guess I've lost count…" Renton said turning to his father. For most of lunch Adrock questioned Renton about his connection with the Seven Swell and how it works. Renton even explained that when Eureka was taken by the Command Cluster he managed to transform the Nirvash to save her.
"As too why the Nirvash reverted back into this form I still don't know" Renton finished off.
"So you and Eureka simply pull on the Amita drive's column and the Nirvash reacts?" Adrock asked curiously.
"Yeah… When Tresor upgraded it, Dr. Bear said the Nirvash wanted it that way" Renton replied.
"Amazing…To think the Nirvash evolved two times" Adrock was amazed at the story.
"I'm going to my room now" Renton said as he got up and left the cafeteria. When he returned to his room he took a deep breath and slowly let it out. Acting depressed was harder that it looks when he has the greatest hope that he'll be with Eureka again. He knew that he shouldn't look happy after he just lost Eureka again but at least he gave Eureka hope that he'll be there again.
"Mama, are you still unhappy?" Maeter and Linck asked.
"Mama's just tired right now" Eureka said gently. Eureka kept up her unhappy face but pretended to pretend to be happy. It was fake smile to hide a real smile but she just wanted to play around a bit.
"Mama, you should get some sleep" Maurice said.
"Yeah…" she said slowly. When Eureka made sure that everyone was gone she took a long breath and let it out quickly. She found herself chuckling at the thought of tricking everyone to think she was depressed. It seemed fun to Eureka because she suffered so much already and she wanted to let her dark side have a little fun.
"If only I could keep his gentle face with me all the time" Eureka said as she took off her hairclip and stared at it for while.
"Eureka… Are you alright?" Holland asked through the door. Eureka jumped up and dropped the clip and quickly ran to the door open a little crack.
"I'm fine, Holland…" Eureka said depressingly.
"Talho said she wanted to teach you a few things about taking care of a baby" Holland thought that this might cheer Eureka up, even if it's a little.
"Thanks, Holland…" Eureka said slowly. She walked to Holland's and Talho's room and saw Talho waiting for her. Eureka remembered that she learned the Sex-Ed course and Talho must've found out. She remembered what she asked Gidget for when she wanted to "seduce" Renton.
Flash back
"Hey Gidget… How do you get Doggie to like you a lot?" Eureka asked as she whispered half way into her ear.
End of flashback.
"Hi Talho" Eureka said nervously. She found it difficult to keep herself from laughing because she still hasn't told anyone about her plans for Renton.
"Eureka, I thought this would be a good time to teach you about the responsibility of being a mother" Talho quietly.
"But Maurice, Maeter and Linck already taught me" Eureka said in surprise.
"I mean a real baby, your own child that you gave birth to" Talho replied.
"And I know who you want the father to be" Talho added slyly. Eureka's cheeks turned red; and as we all know she's been trying to "seduce" Renton before. Talho started to teach Eureka about taking care of a baby for that day.
"Renton… I think you're amazing" Helen said when Renton walked by the Nirvash.
"Thanks… But Nirvash is what amazes me, she's a nice child" Renton scratching his head.
"I want to know something… You keep referring to the Nirvash as a "her"" Helen asked curiously.
"Eureka and I heard her speak and besides… She's really a gentle person" Renton added.
"Hey we're going to land for some refueling and to pick up some water supplies, you want to check out the city there?" Helen asked nervously.
"Sure, hey you think they have a 5th edition cannon camera there?" Renton replied.
"I'm not sure but I think they do" Helen said.
"Tell me when the ship lands" Renton said. He then left for his room.
"Hey Akira, Stella, Adrock said we could go out when we land" Omega said as he entered a small room. When he opened the door he stopped in his tracks.
"Am I interrupting something?" Omega asked with a blank stare.
"Yes!" Akira and Stella said loudly.
"I'll leave you two alone now" he said as he turned around and walked away; he face was bright red. Omega walked by Adrock in the hall.
"What's wrong with you?" Adrock asked.
"I've seen something I shouldn't have…" he said as he walked away. Adrock scratched his head and walked on and went to the room where Akira and Stella were.
"Hey, what wrong with-" Adrock stopped when he opened the door.
"Can't a couple get some alone time!" Akira said. His arms were around Stella and they were half dressed.
"Put…a…"Do not disturb sign…next…time" Adrock said nervously. Adrock by now had just walked by Renton who needed to get some supplies from the supply closest. Which was where Akira and Stella were; Renton was going there with Helen.
"Hey Dad" Rentons aid as he walked by.
"Hi Renton…" Adrock walked by. Renton turned to the supply closest and opened it; both he and Helen saw Akira and Stella.
"It this a public place?!" Stella said angrily.
"Yes, yes it is" Renton said calmly.
"Can you leave now?" Akira asked.
"If you want to do it, please do it in your room" Renton's face was super bright red.
"And you're on the tool box… I needed that" he added. The couple looked down to see they were on the only tool box in the room. Renton got the box and left; Helen looked at him nervously and she asked a question.
"What were they doing in there?" she asked quietly.
"Something that I shouldn't explain… I'm not the person to do so" he said. Helen kept looking at him until she finally broke her true feeling out. They headed for the hanger.
"Renton, I like you!" Helen closed her eyes. She opened her eyes to find that Renton had hit his face on a pole that came from the 707.
"Ow… Sorry, did you say something?" Renton asked covering his nose.
