-1Chapter 4- Return of the nirvash
A month later at a rebel military base several hundred miles away from Bellforest, news of the wedding had been somehow leaked to the senior official on the base..
"WHAT!!??" he yelled. "When did this supposedly happen?"
"About a month ago sir!!" said the information officer. "The two had somehow sneaked in without us knowing about it, sir!"
"Dammit!!" yelled the senior official. "Where the hell are the two of them now?"
"With the Gekkostate, sir. They have been flying around with them ever since the wedding."
"What about the grandfather and the kids? Are they still at home? If they are we can bring them in and use them as bait to lure them out."
"Negative sir! They went with them. Before they left, they loaded what looked like some sort of LFO unit. The informant couldn't tell at the moment because it was covered up at the time of loading."
"Damn." said the senior official. "Alright then, lets get into contact with all of our military bases and units so we can alert them of the situation. Also, get Dewey's 6 brats out of basic training so we can get them into actual LFO training right away. I'm sure they'll love getting revenge for him since the Gekkostate caused his death." He chuckled a evil laugh after he said this.
"Aye sir!!" replied the information officer. He then ran out the door to follow his orders.
Meanwhile on the Gekkostate, Axel had finally made the final adjustments on the LFO that he had been secretly working on. The form of it was quite similar to the Nirvash, but was more advanced in his opinion. The cockpit was strangely enough able to also hold two people, though the enclosure lid was one piece instead of two. It was an odd set-up the way it looked, but it worked well. Axel had also painted it the same colors as the Nirvash. He thought it would be a great remembrance of it. The name he gave it was for Holland, who watched over Renton and Eureka for so long. He carefully named it the "Novack" in thanks. After all the final adjustments were done, he put the cover back on it and called the crew down to the hangar. Once everyone had arrived, Axel had Holland, Renton, and Eureka stand in front of the group.
"Everyone," Said Axel, " This has been a project that took a lot of time a patience. It also took a lot of love, mainly because I've been working on it since Renton and Eureka unfortunately came up missing, but now are home with us and happily married. It's also named after Holland, who watched over the two for so long. This machine has to be piloted by two people, and you two know who you are. So without further ado, Renton, Eureka, and Holland- I give you the NOVACK!" and with that said, Axel pulled the cover off of the LFO. A chorus of ooh's and ahh's and various other comments echoed in the hangar. For a moment the crew thought they were looking at the Nirvash once again until they noticed how different it was.
"It's the same colors as the Nirvash was!!" said Eureka.. "It's amazing!"
"Yes it is dear." said Renton. "It's so different though."
"Its more advanced than the Nirvash was," said Axel. "But it should operate the same as it did."
"Thank you Axel." said Holland. "You didn't have to name it after me though."
"Yes I did." replied Axel. "After what you did for the kids, I figured you deserved it." The reply Axel gave him put a smile on his face.
"It's pretty mama!" said Maeter.
"It's cool!!" yelled Linck.
"Very cool!" replied Maurice.
"Yes it is." said Eureka Softly.
"It's way more advanced than anything I've ever seen!" said Renton as he sat in the cockpit. "Yet the controls are pretty much the same as the Nirvash."
"Yes they are." said Eureka. "Even the compact drive is the same!!" It was then that she saw that an Amita Drive had somehow been installed into the LFO. "Axel!" yelled Eureka. "Is that what I think it is on the compact drive unit?"
"Yes it is dear." said Axel. "It's an extra unit that the military had hidden away. I got it from captain Jerguens after the summer of love incident. I don't know if it works or not though. It doesn't seem to react to me. Hopefully it will with you two at the controls."
"I have a feeling it will grandpa." said Renton. "I can sense that this unit is connected to the Nirvash somehow."
"Me too." said Eureka. "It makes me wonder how well it works."
"Well lets find out." said Holland. "I'll go out in the 909 while Hilda and Matthieu go out in the 606 and the 808. Let's get moving and see what the Novack can do."
"Roger that!!" replied everyone as they headed to their stations.. Soon enough everyone was at their positions waiting for the test flight to begin..
"Gidget lower the catapult!" said Talho.
"Roger that!" she replied, and with the push of a button the catapult of the Gekkostate lowered.
"Novack you ready for this?"
"Roger!" said Renton "We're ready to go."
"Alright then." said Talho. "This is just a little war game to test the Novack so let's be careful ok?"
"Roger that!" they all replied.
"Alright then Novack taking off!" yelled Renton and with that they activated the catapult and flew off into the sky.
"Good thing that the weapons systems haven't been activated yet.." said Axel. "I didn't want anything to happen while they were out there. But if there are any malfunctions, it will still tell us."
"Roger that." said Talho. "Renton did you hear that?"
"Roger, that'll work." he replied.
"606, 808, 909 heading out!!" yelled Holland. "Let's see if these two still have what it takes!" and with that the three LFO's launched off the catapult.
"You'd be surprised Holland at what we can do." said Renton.
"Oh really?" he replied "Prove it." he said with a laugh.
"Ok my dearest Eureka, let's show them what we're still capable of! Said Renton.
"Yes let's go!!" said Eureka. And with that the exercises began.
"Amazing!!" said Talho as she watched them fly around. "It moves and maneuvers better than the Nirvash ever did!"
"It should with all the work I put into it." said Axel. The rest of the crew just sat there and stared as the Novack danced, twisted, and just plain out maneuvered the other three LFO's. Within a matter of a few minutes, Renton and Eureka had amazingly gotten confirmed hits and kills on all three of them without a single confirmed hit on them.
Later that evening after they all had docked in from a few more war games, Renton, Eureka, and the rest of the crew gathered in the lounge to discuss the exercises..
"That was amazing you two!!" said Holland.
"I can't believe you two beat us in all those war games in that short of amount of time!!" said Matthieu.
"No kidding!" said Hilda. "That was the best piloting I've ever seen!!"
"It was nothing." said Renton with a laugh.
"It was easy!" said Eureka. "All of the weapons and guidance systems worked fine as so did the controls. The compact drive functioned properly also with no problems even though we never tested out the amita drive yet."
"Maybe we can try to test that tomorrow on the next run" said Renton.
"That's fine." said Mishca. "I monitored all the flights and everything checks out fine. Axel, could you activate all the weapons systems please so that we can see how they react?"
"Yeah no problem." said Axel. "It should be ok now that I know that everything is in order."
"We never doubted you Axel." said Holland.
"Yeah grandpa you're the best mechanic around!" said Renton. And with that they all went through the rest of the reports before they retired for the night.
The next morning Renton and Eureka took the Novack out once more this time fully armed and ready for battle, even though it was only one last test run.
"Ok Eureka let's see what kind of power this thing really has." said Renton.
"Let's do it!" said Eureka.
"Amita drive activate!!" and with that command the couple pulled up on the compact drives lever and initiated it. When they did, the familiar green light that they knew all too well lit up the cockpit of the Novack, bringing the LFO to life.
"Amazing!!" said Mischa. "The readings here are off the charts! They're bigger than the Nirvash's ever were!"
"Impossible!!" said Holland. "The power levels can't be that high!! Not for a LFO!!"
"I know!!" Mischa replied. "Even the way it moves and reacts are totally different than yesterday! The reaction times are faster, quicker, and a lot more precise than before!! The way it moves is indescribable!"
"Are we sure this isn't the Nirvash reborn?" asked Talho nervously.
"It's hard to tell at this moment." said Mischa. "The probability of it is extremely low. But if it is it'll be hard to tell what happens next."
"Alright lets bring them in." said Holland "That's way more than enough for today."
"Roger that." said Gidget. "Novack, this is the Gekko.. Please return to the ship. All testing is now complete."
"Roger that." replied Eureka. "Novack heading for home.."
"That was amazing!!" said Renton while they were returning. "That was the most power I've ever seen out of an LFO!"
"Yes it was." said Eureka softly. "This child did well today."
"Yeah it did." replied Renton. "Very well indeed."
"It was almost like the Nirvash was back with us somehow."
"That's impossible!" said Renton. "We lost her after I rescued you from the command cluster!"
"I know!" replied Eureka. "But she said that she would return to us someday in the future."
"True Eureka, she did say that." said Renton. "But I don't think it's possible at all." What happened next stunned everyone.
"It is possible Renton if you believe."
"Who said that? Eureka did you hear that?"
"Yeah I did." she replied worryingly. "Where did it come from?"
"Renton, Eureka, who was that? What's going on out there?" said Holland from the radio.
"We don't know Holland! We're as confused as you are!" said Renton. Suddenly the voice came back again.
"Anything is possible if you two believe in each other."
"Believe in what?" said Renton.
"In becoming one with the world and with each other." replied the voice.
"Nirvash, is that you?" asked Eureka.
"Yes Renton and Eureka, it's me."
"But how? And why Nirvash?"
"I said that I would return to you two one day, and that day has finally come."
"For what, Nirvash?" asked Eureka.
"There are new forces out there getting ready to destroy all remaining coralian and scab coral life forms. It is now up to all of us and all of your friends and family to stop them all once and for all."
"But I thought we stopped them all already?" said Renton.
"No unfortunately we haven't." replied the Nirvash. "The danger is back and it's just as dangerous if not more than before.."
"But why?" asked Renton with a concerned tone.
"It's Dewey." Replied the Nirvash. "His spirit still lies within the six kids he took in when he was alive. Those children have joined with the rebel military forces to go against the coralian and scab coral life forms."
"DAMMIT!!" yelled Renton. "And after I promised you, Eureka, that we'd live a quiet, happy life together."
"And you will, Renton, I promise. No matter what happens, I'll always be by your side this time." said the Nirvash. "I also promise that I will keep Eureka safe along with you, no matter what the cost."
"Renton, I believe her." said Eureka. "I don't know if this will be the last time for us, but I'm willing to do it for us and our family. I trust what she's saying."
"Ok." said Renton with a worried tone. "For us and our family. I may not like the idea, but I'll do it for them." Eureka nodded yes with a warm smile on her face to his reply.
"Holland."
"N-Nirvash?" Holland replied.
"Please protect these two with all your might. They are the only ones who can help stop this war."
"Thanks Nirvash I will. I made that promise to them a long time ago, and I ain't about to break it now."
"Thank you, Holland." Nirvash replied. "This is probably the only time I'll be able to communicate with you. The rest of the time will be with Eureka and Renton only."
"I understand. Thank you, Nirvash."
"Thank you, Holland." she replied and the radio went silent.
"Holland, what do we do?" asked Talho nervously. "I had a feeling something like this was going to happen."
"I don't know." he replied. "All we can do is back them up and protect them now. If it's a war they want, it's a war they get."
"Are we prepared for that though?"
"We're going to have to be." he replied. "If what the Nirvash is saying is true, we're going to have our hands full for a while."
"I can't believe she's back with us." said Renton as they were flying back to the ship.
"I can." said Eureka. "I think we know what we have to do for us now. Not only us but the world we live in also."
Renton took her hand and said "So do I, Eureka, and we'll do it together."
"Right." replied Eureka. Shortly after the strange conversation, the Nirvash along with Renton and Eureka landed on the Gekko.
