*Sapphire's back in his old room. His Glyph goes off and materializes in his hand, a live video plays of an all out war being waged over at the Source Gate. He puts on his gear, hangs Avalon on his arm with Caliburn sheathed inside the shield and opens the door as he was ready to leave. Until he's sees Raurua standing at the door with her arms crossed.*
Where do you think you're heading off to good Sir?
*She asked with a smirk and Sapphire let's out a embarrassed chuckle.*
Oh, you know getting some fresh air. I was absolutely not gonna head straight into a war zone on my own, that would be crazy!
Indeed, going on your own would be absurd. Shall we then, Darling?
Give me minute. *Sapphire asked as he turns back to see Cavall sitting behind him. After a month in Scahatch domain he's nearly fully grown. Sapphire kneels down and rustles the dogs cheeks.*
Sorry, Buddy Don't want to see you get hurt so you're staying here. Be good boy Ok!? We'll be back tonight, I guarantee it!
*Sapphire said with a smile making the dog whine as he gently closed the door. The dog runs to a window to see the two take off together and so did Salomon who reported it to Scarlet and Ezekiel.*
Never change, Selestine. Salomon let's go after him.
The ships on its way now, My Lord. I'm surprised you're so willing to lay down your lives twice.
We'll do it again if it means our bro stays safe! It's what friends do!
*Ezekiel proudly proclaims as he does maintenance on his new suit.*
I-I want to help to!
Sis, you can help ounce your trainings done. So far you're still in your training wheels. But we're gonna get your there, just not yet.
*Scarlet reassured Kivaara, they've been training her for a couple days now she has the potential to be a great fighter but she's just not there yet but soon she will be. Sapphire and Raurua look to see the entire Zodiac Fleet, all 12 of its factions in the skies! There's so many of them that they basically block out the sun.*
*Each fleet separately numbering by the billions alone! 100's of there ships even being the size of several continents!*
*But the Kingdom of Fragment numbers equals Theres and between them lies the Source Barrier itself! This a history book battle but Sapphire shows no sign of fear or hesitation from the mind boggling sight which reassures Raurua.*
I'm ready when ever you are kids!
Thanks, Merlin. Raurua?
Like you even need to ask, Darling! What's our plan of attack?
We make sure people stay safe though! Come on!
*Sapphire says as they blast off towards a ship that's bombarding the city below! Sapphire tosses several Raurua and together they my destroy several unarmed Zodiac air fighters as they there down to the surface!*
*Raurua destroys the jets engines with swift palm strikes, while Sapphire slices them to ash with a slice of his Caliburn and his flames! They approach a broken 5 street bridge that still has civilians trapped on it! Astera forces are trying to evacuate them but they can only do so much when they're pin down by artillery fire From the ship!*
*Sapphire grabs on to Raurua and together they fly up to the ship to stop it! With a swing of his blade and one of Raurua's devastating palm strikes they destroy its shields!*
Sire! Are shields are down! It's Esperanza!
*One of the ships officers warns the captain!*
What an honor to be in the company of the Heir of Hope. Pull us out, at light speed preferably.
*As the captain ordered the ship take of at light speed in the planets atmosphere triggering an explosion that threatens to level the entire city! But Sapphire flys into the explosion spreads out his limbs and takes the energy to his own body absorbing it!*
*Everyone in the city looked on as the energy explosion rapidly shrinks in size! They see it turn from bright yellow to brightest blue as Sapphire successfully absorbs into himself! He floats downward to Raurua who gives him hug to congratulate him but immediately pulls back as he's still hotter than the hells!*
*She brushes the flames off her with relative ease, thanks to her divinity. Like dusting off dirt from her cloths. Still stung a bit though.*
Oho, hot stuff, hot stuff! M-My mistake, Darling!
*She chuckles to herself and Sapphire laughs a bit with her. Relieved that she won't be harm when they're together. Then the Astera slowly gather around them and kneel to him.*
Lord Esperanza, Lady Raurua, thank you for the assistant.
Y-Your welcome but knows not the time for this, there's a war to win and we're here to help win it! We need to get the civilians to the emergency shelters!
Back on your feet Astera! Your heard our Lord, resume your duties!
*Order out the Astera Combat Superior. The man hangs his power hammer on his shoulder. With his frame made even more hulking with his Goliath Power Armor. This was the same man that got them both to safety back when they were injured from the Zodiacs. The man bows his head in respect and relief that his lord and lady are still alive.*
You may leave this section of the city to us, My Lord Heir. With reinforcements on the way we shall hold or own.
You're the Combat Superior that saved us aren't you? Thank you for that, can I have your name?
*Sapphire asked with a curious smile.*
If it is an order from my lord, I am Gabriel Angelous. I'm But a humble soldier who saved his Lord and Lady. Now go, there are lives yet to be saved.
*The two smiled and Sapphire flied them off into the skies. Gabriel smiled as he watches them disembark, he then puts his futuristic helmet. With his Astera standing besides him he looked on to see there reinforcements arrive and begin to fortify this position. From titanic mechs, to 4 air air warships.*
*He starts a speech to further bolster troop morale. His voice being amplified by his suits technology.*
My Battle Brothers and Sisters, we hold this ground in the name of our kingsmen and our Holly Lord! We are the guardians of our Universal Kingdom for more then several dozen millennia! Let these treacherous Zealots feel the wrath and hammer of ANCIENT VENGEANCE!
*He raised his power hammer up and his legion of battle Brothers and Sisters let out a valiant booming war cry that echoes across the ruin city! Then portals open before them, and out came the Zodiac. Evenly matched with there's as there general Zodiac, man man with four horse legs, 4 mechanical arms adding to 6 with his real arms. He leaped to the frontlines prepare to lead his troops to battle.*
*Using the rocket thrusters in there suits Gabriel and his brothers and sisters leaped to the front line in kind!*
2nd company, Shining Shields, TO ETERNAL WAR!
*Gabriel cry's out as both armies charged at one another! The Zodiac General activates his six energy beam axes And motioned his army to charge! Two Armies of Super Soldiers, Gabriel and the Zodiac leap at one other, Gabriel preparing a swing with his hammer and the General the same with his energy axes!*
*This battle will only end ounce the Zodiacs successfully extracted their loved ones from the other side of the Source Barrier! So Sapphire hurry's by making his way to it, unaware that Scarlet and Ezekiel are covering their blind spots from the shadows! They see a massive burst of electricity, so massive that it drained the power of all ships and mechs except Zodiacs!*
*Sapphire look forward to were the blast came from and saw the silhouette of a Titan of a Zodiac ship Standing guard of the Source Barrier! Shaped like a winged leviathan it's designed like it's made out dozens catholic churches! A universal design shared in all Zodiac military! Behind the leviathan ship several other ships enter and cross the Source Barrier!*
*Instead of laying siege upon the Zodiac Leviathan ship Sapphire instead focuses saving Astera ships from crashing into the city!*
That Zodiac ship can wait! If we don't stop those Astera ships from falling countless of innocent people will die!
I agree darling but how!? Not even your constructs can stop so many!
Watch me! Not a single other person will die! Not on my watch!
*Countless of construct tendrils burst out Sapphires cape! The tendrils spread out to Form a Net that stands ready to catch the equally numerous Astera ships! Sapphire lets Out a strained growl as he feels the combined weight of the ships!*
I-I won't give up!
I'll lend you my power Darling-! *Raurua reassured him as she was about to give him some of her Exousia! Until Zodiac's ambushed them and she was to preoccupied defending Sapphire!*
Damn craven Zodiacs!
*Raurua cursed the zealots as she tried her utmost to defend Sapphire!*
They're getting jumped! Ezekiel let's back them up!
Finally! I was getting sick of this incognito bullshit!
*But before Scarlet and Ezekiel could move to their rescue dozens of white and red figures appeared and save Sapphire and Raurua! They brownish skin and eye veils similar to Ruarua's!*
Son in law, daughter these rapscallions being a bother?
*Raurua's father says as with a single movement of his hand he easily dispatched the Zodiacs by his lonesome! Raurua let's out a relieved chuckle as she embraced her father who embraced his daughter in kind.*
When I saw the house was empty save expect the adorable dog I just know you children would be in the thick of all this. You two have the worst habits I swear!
*Rasputin let's out a hearty laugh, he motions to his forces and they set up devices around the city that form a gravitational field that stops the countless of ships from falling and keeps them in the air. Seeing that the city isn't in any danger anymore Sapphire retracts his constructs. The thousands of tendrils go back into his cape.*
Thank you so much for the assist Mr Rasputin. Sorry, Dad in Law.
Haha, Father in Law shall suffice then. Both of you press onward, we shall tend to the city. *Rasputin urge the children with a understanding nod.*
Go on then, before I change my mind, haha!
*Rasputin chuckles as the two nod in response, Sapphire grabs on to Raurua and flys off to face the leviathan ship! But then 5 figures fly besides him, it's was Valiant, Aria and the Gears!*
Don't worry about that big ass eyesore my Lord! Well turn it to scrap! Keep going!
*Valiant reassured them with a thumbs up and the Gears fly to the ship ahead of them. Sapphire waves awkwardly at them as he has no idea who they are.*
U-Uh, thanks?
Acquaintances of yours darling?
I guess so? No we can't just let those people take that thing by themselves! Who knows what kind soldiers and power it's capable of! Let's-!
*Sapphire looks to the side and sees two figures ride on top of a missile the width of a large building! Those two figures were Scarlet and Ezekiel and the missile hits the leviathan ship! Moments earlier as they saw the Ditee Gears fly to the ship.*
Can't let those strangers show us up Ezekiel! Let's turn that thing to scrap!
More like molten scrap!
*As they leap to building to building the two barely just dodged a Zodiac fired there way, then Ezekiel just a awesome idea! He grabbed onto Scarlet with one hand, with the other he punched the missile and grabbed onto it! He redirected its course to the Leviathan ship!*
EZEKIEL YOUR CRAZY!
YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT BRO!
*Ezekiel cackles to himself as they hang for dear life! Sapphire and Ruarua watch dumbfounded from the sight of such an extreme stunt!*
I do believe they're properly reinforced darling.
No short of nut jobs in this beautiful world of ours.
*Sapphire said with a loving smile as he flys towards the Source Barrier! Meanwhile back Scarlet and Ezekiel the missile lands on Leviathan! The round barely penetrated it's hull so Scarlet and Ezekiel swung there weapons in the missile! It explodes and they are finally inside the ship!*
*They look back to see that it's hull is already repairing and sealing the hole they made! To the Titanic ship such a massive round was no more then a tic to it, easily repaired.*
We're in the thick of it now, let's tear this thing apart from the inside!
*Scarlet says as he ignites his Zulfigar's beam blades as armed Zodiac soldiers and a few dozen mechs surround them both!*
And get back to Selestine!
*Ezekiel says while revs up his weapon on his back, the two go back to back as the Zodiacs began to close in.*
Slaughter the Human intruders brothers and sisters!
Your the ones that are gonna die here you races psychopaths!
*Ezekiel proclaims as the two start to crave there way through the army of super soldiers! Blood from blood, limb from limb, intestines from intestines they killed the Zodiacs with out a sliver of remorse or hesitation! For Scarlet and Ezekiel are killers, not heroes like Sapphire.*
*Long ago, when they were enslaved black knights they killed a lot people that didn't bend the knee to there Enslavers. If they didn't follow orders, follow there political narrative, Scarlet and Ezekiel were sent to kill them and they're family's. One of Many, that hunts them the most because Sapphire was close to the targets. One of the targets especially.*
*A beautiful girl, with long Snow White hair, With piercing bright blue eyes with one eye having a small scar over it. Scarlet slowly descends on to her with blade in hand. Sapphire was above behind him, his face desperate. His red eye filled With fear for the girls life! The girl eyes was filled with the same fear, the same helplessness. Yet Scarlets brutally cuts her down.*
*Ounce again Scarlet is drenched in blood like a dozen times before. This time the feel of it feels unimaginably more then before. He looks as Sapphire cradles the dead girl in his arm. Her blue eyes ounce filled with life have gone cold and horrifically empty as they gaze at Scarlet.*
*As if judging him, even in death. Sapphire cry's out her name, he begs her to come back to him. No response… Sapphire's tells the girl like many many times before that he loves her. No response… For how could she when her torso is torn open, her heart destroyed and her remaining organs on the ground?*
*For how could she is when she is gone? Like her family, her father, mother, older sister and younger brother. Brutally cut down like her but far earlier. Dead by Scarlets and Ezekiels hands.*
*That horrid painful death is engraved in stone in Sapphires memories. He failed The girl in white , he failed Ruby but he vows that he will keep Her safe. Even if he has to say good bye to her forever as he and Raurua fly into the Source Barrier.*
*Solomon reaches out to Scarlet telepathically while he and Ezekiel are wreaking havoc in the ship.*
My lord, Sapphire most have entered the Source Barrier for I can no longer detect his Exousia.
Thanks for letting us know Solomon!
*Scarlet thanked him as he and Ezekiel sent a massive mech crashing into one of the engines of the leviathan ship! It triggered a chain reaction of dozens of explosions that is carrying them to the upper levels! As they rocket up, they see gigantic shadows form all around them! As quick as lightning Massive mantis like mechs emerge from the puddles of black and attack the two!*
*Each armed with 8 blade arms and advanced Zodiac Shadow Clan tech making them almost faster then them despite there massive size! Yet Scarlet and Ezekiel don't flinch at the new challenge as they clashed with the mechs! Becoming a rising hurricane of blades, punches and corrupted yellow flames!*
*The mechs then started using a power that allowed them to teleport and become shadows that made them nigh untouchable as they slowly out pace the two!*
Adapted.
*Ezekiels body and Scarlets Zuligar's say gaining surprised looks from both there faces. They were quickly informed them of the new abilities they learned and instructed them in how to use them. Ezekiel got the ability to switch places with anyone and anything as long as he clasp his fist together as he did just that. He switched places with two of the mechs and they ended up destroying one another.*
*Scarlet got the ability to accelerate himself by grinding his blades together. Using these abilities in tandem they overwhelm the mechs. The massive mechs begin tumble around the walls uncontrollably and together they crashed through ceiling!*
*They both landed on floor and saw the Ditee Gears battling out with the Zodiac's that pilot the Leviathan Ship! Aria aimed her arm cannon at the two after she dealt with a Zodiac.*
Who the hell are you two!? Explain yourselves!
Yo ease up, We're here to help against the Zodiac's just like you.
If they're here to help then let's let them, Initiate! Come on let's finish this!
*Savant Valiant said as he battles the Zodiac General of the ship! Aria complied and together with Scarlet and Ezekiel they charged in the fray! With their combined might they managed to destroy the Leviathan ship!*
Thanks for the hand! Now if you excuse us!
*Scarlet thanks them with a smile as grabs on to Ezekiel who leaps into the Source Barrier. Now where finally back were we started as Sapphire is squaring off against Tony, Laiya and their Father! Sapphire was holding his ground against their combined attacks yet he still can figure out how to get hostages free and out of the Source Barrier! Luckily Scarlet, Ezekiel and Raurua arrived to back him up!*
Me and my Bro were hired to help you out, Lord Selestine. Just tell us what to do and we'll follow your lead!
*Scarlet reassured Sapphire with his helmet on hiding his identity from him.*
T-Thanks! I'm glad you're ok, Raurua! I got worried when we got separated.
*Sapphire said as he embraced Raurua who smiled warmly and returns the gesture. Scarlet and Ezekiel chuckle quietly to Themselves, happy for them both.*
I'm beyond relieved to see your well to, Beloved. What's the plan?
*They both broke the hug as Sapphire looks up to Zodiac vassal who still has the hostages.*
We gotta free these people and get them out of the Source Barrier!
Tch, I think I got just the thing to do that! Watch this little Buddy! Switch!
*Ezekiel said with cocky tone as he clasp his fist together switching places with the hostages! He revs up his weapon, transformed and dealt a devastating blow to Qin Shi and his construct ship! Ezekiel then switch places with empty space right beside Scarlet.*
GG, EZ! Let's get these people out of here!
*Ezekiel says as he transform back to his base form. He then picks up the hostages and starts to moves to the exit point of the Source Barrier! But Tony and Laia try to attack him but Scarlet, Sapphire and Raurua defended him. Meanwhile the smoke subsides in the air to reveal that Qin Shi is alive and well. Just mildly scorched.*
Brother, Genesis. How much longer tell we successfully extracted our people?
*Qin Shi asked calmly as he talks to his helms communicator. He can hear the sounds of battle on his side.*
Not much longer! Apologies, Lord Nero is proving to be more than I can handle! Hold fast! I will give the signal to retreat soon, Brother!
*Genesis cuts the transmission short as he narrowly dodged a swing from Nero's chainsaw broadsword! He retaliates with thrust and swings of his halberd! They battle right edge of the source barrier that leads to The other side! There weapons collided with another sending titanic shock waves as iron strikes Iron!*
You would be so selfish that you would endanger them further by bringing them here, Genesis!
*Nero scowled Genesis with a fierce snarl, his red eyes shining bright with righteous rage!*
I would do it again for my loved ones are the center of my universe! The center of my heart and soul! How are they not for you!?
*Genesis sent Nero flying away, leaped after him and slams his halberd on Nero yet he blocks and quickly retaliates!*
They are! Which is why I will forfeit my privilege to be with them if it means keeping them safe from HIS horrors! I will not risk losing them for eternity! The likes of you must be stopped!
You're welcome to try, Nero!
It would be my pleasure!
*Meanwhile on Genesis own flag ship his own daughter sees Fafnirs silhouette and someone's else's as the ships teleporter over heats itself to bring him here!*
Dad, I can see him! I can see big brother! We almost got him through!
*She sees with a smile on her face! Yet the Source Barrier radiates ethereal aura as the time reset is nearing completion! Back with Sapphire and the others they successfully managed to evacuate the hostages as Ezekiel leaps out of the barrier! Not before he saw a platinum light race into it above him!*
Ah, Shit, Yin's here! This shit is as good as won!
*Ezekiel said as for inside the source barrier Qin Shi opens his eyes wide in fear as Yin was mere seconds away from decapitating him with just a swipe of his hand! If Qin Shi didn't turn himself and his ship into a shade narrowly escaping death!*
Fuck off Zodiac cause next time I won't miss!
*Yin swears as he races off back to Sapphire! He also brought Yo along as she Closed distance between her and Laia and gave them woman a devastating punch to her gut! Sending her crashing into a wall!
Sup Bro! Next time warn us when you plan on doing something stupid, K~!
*Yo quipped with a playful and joking wink! She leans on Yin shoulder as he stops besides her.*
I second that, let's get moving little brother. We don't have much time for left you to say your goodbyes to her.
That's for understanding, Bro!
*After a lengthy battle they managed to push Qin Shi and his children to regroup with Genesis who is still locked in combat against Nero. Yet even with two Zodiac Vassal's fighting side by side Nero still proves to indomitable. Especially when Sapphire and Yin reinforced him, as they stand besides Nero with the others standing close behind.*
The three of us together like this is a little overkill even for them don't you think, Unc?
*Yin said with a confident Smirk as cracks his knuckles, Nero's eyes glimpse down besides Sapphire.*
Your well now, I'm relieved. Is Your mind is up?
Yeah, I'm with you.
*Sapphire said with a fiery zeal in his Amber and red eyes making Nero's face beam with a smile of pride he turns his attention to the Zodiacs, his expressions shift to a more dire and commanding tone.*
Genesis, Qin Shi this is your last warning! Leave now! I will not ask again!
Our answer will be the same, Lord Nero! For our loved ones we won't take a single step back!
*Genesis responded, his voice and conviction adamant, unwavering, unmoving as Zodiac steel!*
We won't let you threaten their new and safe future Zodiacs! For them We will stop you and your madness!
*Both sides Clashed in an instant! Nero, Sapphire and Yin becoming a typhoon of divine power that batters the Zodiacs with relentless precision and ferocity! Made even viscous with everyone's support, yet the Zodiacs met the onslaught with equal ferocity and defiance!*
*Weirdly Ezekiel's and Scarlets new abilities didn't work on neither Nero or Yin so they devise any new tactics with them but it worked for everyone else! Switching everyone to further confuse, befuddle and overwhelm the Zodiacs! The ethereal battlefield of myriad of hues erupts and combust into mayhem constantly! What's more befuddling is that Nero, Yin and especially Genesis are holding themselves back!*
*If Nero were to bare his full anti creational power so close besides the Source Barrier would compromise it! Genesis being the ancestor of grand founder Zodiac vassal makes the most powerful of all the Vassal as he can use and summon the power of all the Zodiac vassals relics! He can unite them into one at his beck and call but he chooses not to!*
*For the same reason as Nero. For a full 15 minutes the battle raged and the heroes almost reign victorious as Sapphire, Yin and Nero assailed both Genesis and Qin Shi as one! Qin Shi long since sent his children out as they had reached there limit as they're wounded!*
!Souls synced as one!
*Said Sapphire, Yin and Nero at the same time as they entered the same state that Scarlet, Ezekiel, and Fafnir entered!*
!Child of the Hopeful Blue Star!
*Sapphire says in his ascension form as he radiates such overwhelming amount of radiant blue that he becomes a full sized blue sun! The Star flowing violet petals!*
!Child of the Destructive platinum Moon!
*Yin said in his own ascension form as he assembles an energy construct equal to the size of Sapphire sun! Surging with platinum lightning and flowing the energy's of erasure!*
!All Father of the fabric of creation!
*Nero becomes a gigantic platinum and gold giant construct of himself between the two! Sapphire and Yin fire a beam off their combined powers at the Vassal's! Genesis attempts defend against with the combined power of the relics to shield them! The blast incase them both in a vortex of erasure energy, and blue inferno!*
*Nero then assembles his chainsaw sword in a giant construct and charges, the red eyes of his giant form leaving a trail of light behind him! His slices at the construct, twice and winds up on final 3rd swing!*
!TRINITY!
*Nero then slices through them, and the vortex explodes behind him, In explosion of divine cosmic energy!*
!DIVINE GRAND FINALLY!
*Genesis and Qin Shi let out battle cry as they try amplify their relics might with their faith, in the aftermath they pant from exhaustion, their armors pummeled and worn from the long battle. Genesis reaches to his comm device. His daughters voice muffled but he smiles.*
We may have lost this battle, but we got what we came for!
*He types on his gauntlet to signal the retreat on all ships inside the barrier and the outside.*
Even after all this we still believe in you my heirs. May we never cross blades again!
*Genesis says as Qin Shi assembles his ship and disappear in a flash of darkness! Sapphire seeing the battle is decided then flys off to Source Barriers edge and the two followed! He runs to the ripples of that lead to the thousands of realities that the Heirs will soon say goodbye forever. Wanting to only look at one, he looks to Nero.*
Only a live image of her, nothing more. Understood?
*Nero asked, and Sapphire nods in understanding.*
That is more than enough.
*Nero then waves his hand at the Barrier. Ripples twist and turn, and he sees the sight of Ruby. Her half melted face looks up to him yet she can't see him for she looks up to the stars. With the blue rose she gave in the palm of her hand. She gasp to see it glow faintly in her hands. A sign that he is close.*
Sa-? Sapphire!? Where are you!? Please come out! I-I'm sorry!
*She said with tears streaming down in her still intact one eye. Making Sapphire tear up, clenched his teeth bitterly as the sight of her still searching for him gladdens and hurts him. Everyone stays silent. Waiting for him.*
Y-You don't have to sorry for a-anything R-Ruby! I-!
*Sapphire struggles to say the words, it took ages to form these words back in his Aunts Realm. A full month. But the pain and sorrow, that he feels it's bottomless, as the bottomless Void of Fragments biggest ocean. Yet he musters the strength to say it, even if she can't possibly hear him. He must say it to be at peace.*
I-! I-! I Love you! Always will! I'll always be with you! For when you wake up each morning! For when you think of what to do each day! For when you get hurt and get up! For when you despair! That is Hope! That is me, Esperanza! The Heir of Hope will be there for you, always! Ill-! Always be there for you!
Goodbye , Ruby. Everyone. I Love you!
*With a teary smile he watches her timeline be reset. As she was enveloped in temporal light, he sees her no longer half melted. Her pale white, skin shines against the sun, she smile wide up to the sky, her short black and red hair flows with the wind. Sapphire turns and Nero teleports them all out of the Source Barrier.*
*Yet Sapphire didn't see Ruby well up with tears, the blue rose that he gave her somehow still intact? She rubs her eyes with her hands, she drops to her knees. Why-? Why is she so sad? Who is-? She crying for? The ripple closes, she will be safe forever from them, from him as Sapphire wanted.
*Later Sapphire, looks over the destroyed city. Yin, Raurua, Yo, standing besides him. He wipes away his own tears. Scarlet and Ezekiel seeing that Sapphire is safe leave by the shadows. Nero approaches who turns to him. The giant heirs kneels down to Sapphire.*
Will you be at peace now, Son?
Y-Yeah, I got no regrets, Dad.
*Sapphire thanks his father with a small smile as he looks up at him. Nero happy beyond words smiles with him.*
When you are ready, we will began your 12 labors to retrace your mothers footsteps. For now let us head back home. It has Been a harrowing day.
*Nero offers as he gestures to the ship meant to ferry them home. They all walk inside it. Meanwhile with the Zodiacs, Genesis gazes at Fafnir who was asleep in his bed. Andrea his daughter sitting besides her surrogate brothers bed. He looks to another bed, one besides Fafnir's and the person sleeping soundly on it is Cleo.*
*Meanwhile on a planet light years away from Fragment. Alaric looks upon holographic screens as he formulates his plans, experiments. With several clicks of some buttons, he switches the screens of an image of Sapphire, Scarlet and Ezekiel. He cups his chin, turns and half of his alien face becomes humanoid. His skin obsidian, his white hair combed back neatly, Amber eyes shaped as a mosquito's Amber fossil just like Scars and Kivaara.*
*Alaric, smirks eager to see what the future brings. To enact his plan for vengeance, restore his home and most importantly rebirth his own people. Meanwhile with Inanna she kicks her legs like a school girl, revealing in the slaughter of the human's and fantasizes how will she will reunite with Sapphire.*
*What will the future have in store for Sapphire's tale? Find out in the next book 2! Colored Mythos: 12 labors! Have Hope!*
*Have hope! Cause I'll guarantee it come out!*
