Before Light - Chapter 15

<ⅩⅤ>

" Yuri...."

Light, drifted slowly behind him,

The reflection of the glass, showed a figure,

Behind a million screens,

And one of Yuri, sobbing in her own room.

" Stay, Yuri. Stay... We need you."

Suddenly,

The thick metal doors behind him started to part slowly to a thousand pieces, like sharp ceramic shards presenting one honorable guest.

" Lord Father ? Are you there ?"

Sky Princess Sora inquired, coming to the room and stopped before a thin veil of light cloth sewed with golden runes of mystic technologies.

The figure swiped the screens away, and came out of the veil of light

" What is it, Sora ? Is everything fine ?"

Asked this SKylord Caesar Skyman, in Kingly white robes, golden linings, wires of his hidden schematic gears, floated circularly, drifting around as he in the center of all.

He haven't aged, since chapter 12, still the man in his early thirties. Yet his demeanor sallow and his human form bittered and skinly in unatural shape.

" Father, there is a favor I would like to ask."

the young Princess began politely

" My friends, Neliya, Lucky, and others more, they would like to use our Sky Kitchen to bake more cookies,

Can Father grant them permission to join me ?"

Caesar Skyman listened carefully, and smiled

" Of course, My Dear. Your friends can come and perform culinary services in the Royal Kitchen."

Caesar Skyman said kindly, raising his hands up slowly, dangerously.

" Really ? Thank you, Father ! You are the best !"

Sora hugged her Papa lovingly, genuine happiness in this young fragile little girl.

" It's fine."

Caesar Skyman hugged back lovingly, like a father would

" As long as Sora feels happy,

Father will always be happy."

Skylord Caesar Skyman spake with a genuine smile.

...

....

" Really ?? Then we must hurry ! There's no time to waste !!"

Lucky cried to all the children

" Everyone !! Princess Sora has got us permission to use the Sky Kitchen ! Let's go and bake cakes and cookies !"

The children agreed wholeheartedly.

" Sure sure ! I'll Lead the way !"

Rio came first to march to the Sky Kitchen

" Me and Princess Sora will cook our wedding Cake together !"

" You jest."

Lucky accused.

Feira on the other hand turned to her sick younger brother Finnir, who had been sick since he saw the face of King Caesar Skyman, the Sky Lord

" Finnir, you want to bake cookies ?"

" No. You go. I'll stay here and look after the younger children."

Finnir thanked his sister's care and sat down, watching the younger children play while he rest.

He had become thin and frail, and his looks seemed to exceed his age.

" Feira, are you joining us ?"

Neliya asked the worried sister, who shook her head.

" No, Neliya. I will stay with Finnir today. I'll join you next time. "

Thinking of the past days, Finnir has been taking care of her, serving pizza to them during pizza night and more occasions, her younger brother was almost always there behind to support her. Now, As the older sister, she can't leave her younger brother behind !

Neliya understood.

" Hey, Neliya ! Let's go !"

called Nassah, a tanned girl energttically among the others, and beside Nassah is Vena, a timid stronghearted girl Who Finnir has a secret crush on in secret.

Together, they Lollies all went to bake cakes and cookies.

" Baking cookies has always been our tradition, Neo."

Kai spake to Neo, suggesting him to join as the Leader of children.

" A tradition indeed, but this time Rio will lead the cooking in my place.

Neo decided and stood up. Neo thought of Kiro, whose unconscius body was kept safe close to their headquaters, but there is something else on his mind.

Now that they are here, at the SkyLord's great abode, where all the people's soul Light reside in his palace, he wished to once again meet with his young sister Nia's soul light, whose taken by Starbreakers before the children gathered and found a haven in the canyons. He missed Nia.

" I miss Nia." Neo spake to his noble friend Kai

" If there is a way to bring back Nia's light...."

" She must be at the throne room of the Skylord, among all the others whose Light souls they gathered."

Kai surmised

" But Neo, I heard from Finnir that this Skylord has all the Light but didn't help send the souls to the land of paradise as the Skylord so promised to the people he took those light souls from ! Sensei was right, the true resting grounds for all soul light should be at the Core of the World !'

" This Skylord is truly untrustworthy."

Neo agreed to Kai's assessments, and he stood up from his stool.

Kai nodded

" Neo, what will you do now ?"

Kai asked loyally.

" I will pay Finnir a visit."

Neo told Kai, his most loyal and trustworthy friend

" He is sick, for he had witnessed something of the Skylord that we haven't. I must ask of him of his Insight so that we may have more clues to plan."

So Neo and Kai walked forth, passing the younger children playing around as Sick Finnir sat, among the joyful younglings he herd like they were wild sheep.

" How are you feeling now, Finnir ?"

Neo asked, bending down and patted his old friend by the shoulder.

Finnir squeezed a smile, a weak smile

" Sick, Neo."

Finnir chuckled weakly

" Please, have a seat, My friends."

Neo and Kai both sat down on the soft floor, while Finnir sat, on a Sky World stool for children.

The same type of stool Neo killed some days ago in the crumbling tower.

" I hope we didn't disturb your rest, Finnir."

Kai spake cautiously

" But me and Kai wanted to ask of your insight."

" We want to know what you saw, in the grand Headquaters of Starbreakers, in the Gathering of Airships."

Neo straight forwardly asked.

Finnir nodded gravely.

It is harsh, to remember what caused his illness, but he needs to share them, to pass down Sky World secrets and knowledge to help his friends

" I see Airships of many kinds, twenty six and one, gathered at the tall wide stadium ."

Finnir began.

" Why twenty six and one, not Twenty Seven ??"

Asked Neo.

" Good ask. Because the twenty six Airships belonged to Twenty Six Captains, and Bradson Captain is one of them.

But there was One Ship, horrid to behold, lo the entire remaining world's weapons all piled to a mountain on its deck, wings of the Light but seemed darker than Demons, it's a Beast of its own, spewing Light and Sky Fire as it soars above. Though Bright it seemed, terror the same of Demon kind."

" Who be this One Airships' Captain ?"

Kai asked.

" Good ask."

Finnir shook his head

" It belonged to no Captain.

It Belonged to the Sky Lord himself,

The Arphamaegedon."

" Then, you have seen the Sky Lord's true form ?"

Neo asked seriously.

Finnir nearly fell from his stool

" Don't Ask."

Finnir nearly croaked

" I'll tell you myself."

" Finnir, here is your water."

Feira brought water for her younger brother and Finnir sipped the water like it was honey.

" This Sky Lord."

Finnir began

" His face is of man, but his expression Not, But Evil Machine.

He has eyes, two eyes, but Large and bulging and piercing through walls, the black of the eyes flooding all of the white, and Lo black pupils looking through you and your minds.

He has a nose, its shape like a beak of the eagle of mount Anmbar.

His lips and mouth, thin and curled always to a sneer, taunting everything, everyone that's beneath him, that is literally everything and everyone now.

He is tall, like the sun would perch on his head top at noon time.

He is a man, but inside that man is not man but beyond. We never saw him before, But We will recognize him any time you set eyes on The Sky Lord.

He is The Sky,

But silent and Bright."

" Isn't bright sky a better sky ?"

Kai asked.

" Great Ask."

Finnir shook his head

" But that Sky, is nothing but Light, Light and Sky Fire that will scorch the land and burn its Seas dry. No living could stand Such Heat.

Bright is good, but not Always to an extent."

" Then what do we do ??"

Neo asked angrily

" He is the Lord of Light ! He knows all light, he knows the Light that is of Nia !"

" Noble heart, Neo."

Finnir coughed and made to bow, but Neo made him not bow, but Finnir insisted he must bow.

So Feira watched as the two boys pushed each other in an awkward manner.

" Let me bow and apologize, Neo."

Finnir spake

" For my answer will not please any ears."

" You bow to no one."

Neo smiled to his friend

" Speak what you must, don't leave it there."

Then Finnir Spake

" At the end of the Gathering of Airships, The Sky Lord made his Princess Sora suck All the Light into her. I fear.... All the people's soul Light, and Nia's light and Kiro's Light also, are now stored inside the Princess Sora."

Kai gave a gasp of Fate.

Neo clenched his fists and turned his face to the skies, regretting letting Finnir speak, for he is as cursed as Finnir of this dastard knowledge, but he did not show

" I will speak to Rio tonight."

Neo spake, and walked away, passing the younger children that looked at Neo curiously.

" Kai, do you not want to leave ?"

Finnir asked Kai, who sat his ground

" Surely, you have heard the Fates of the Sky princess."

" I hereby seek my Fate."

Kai finally asked

" Neo shall surely face theSkylord in conflict sooner or later, but Finnir, this will pose us all in grave danger. Is following Neo on this perilous path the right path, the Fate of my path ??"

Finnir didn't look at Kai, but turned his eyeballs up and showed Kai the white of his eyes

" You already know the answer, Kai."

Finnir spake, still showing the white of his eyes

" But it is what you do that will change the course of Fate. Will you be Loyal to a Friend, or Loyal to the children's Survival ??"

" ... Your question means that Neo is the opposite of our Survival ?!?!"

Kai asked in shock.

" Neo loves Nia more than anyone else, Kai."

Finnir answered, still not looking straight at Kai

" And Kai, even I do not know,

What do you love ?"

" I love the feeling of Family."

Kai admitted

" I love to see all of us, embracing each other, in wide lands."

" That is what you will have."

Finnir bowed and asked for Feira's hand to take him to bed and rest.

Kai bowed low until Finnir and Feira left.

Kai is good,

Kai loves Neo, and his loyalty is unrivaled of any child existing now.

But Kai also loves the Family, the children too.

And Kai had heard voices of disapproving Neo's leadership because of Neo's rashness and strong armed rule that he many times risk the children's life to get to his goals.

The notion pains Kai, that choosing loyalty to Neo means the splitting of faith of Family.

And choosing the majority of Family, means to leave Kai on his perilous quest alone.

And Kai wept alone, for his loyalty and love at conflict.

...

.....

The Royal doors opened and the girls and lollies, one after another entered the Sky Kitchen at the lead of Sora Sky Princess.

Caesar Skyman, in his room of secrets and screens, sat back, listening to all their speech through his crown of jewels and wires.

" Hey〜Wake up, it's cookie time, wake up~~"

One of the screens in front of Caesar lit up.

...

...

" Oy~~~~ Neruko~ wake up ~~"

Neruko the cat eared loli opened her eyes slowly.

Lucky's face was close right in front of her.

" ...huh...?"

Neruko asked, lying on the soft floor.

" We are about to bake cookies ! Come, Let's go !"

And Lucky took Neruko's hand, together hand in hand following the other children.

...

......

Caesar Skyman frowned, and typed on his keyboard.

...

....

Neruko suddenly stopped.

" Neruko ? What's wrong ?"

The cat loli looked around her surroundings with those half opened eyes,

Checking at the children moving around her.

Neo is not present...

Neliya is heading to the kitchen with most of the others....

And.....

" Where is Lima ??"

Neruko asked, out of the blue, looking at Lucky in the eye with her pupils shrinking to thin black lines.

Lucky was stunned !

" I... Don't know. I haven't seen her yet..."

Lucky stammered

" Neliya !! Have you seen Lima ?"

Neliya turned around at Lucky's call, and also looked around

" Eh... Where's Lima ?!?!"

And the two girls began searching,

While Neruko stared at a pillar at the far end of the dorm.

Lima leaned her back to the pillar.

She knew someone has been watching them all this time,

She needs to be sure who it was.

Neruko, staring coldly at the pillar, came closer and closer, like a cat cornering its prey.

She knew someone's hiding.

She knew who.

With a dash !!

Neruko lunged and stopped by the pillar.

...

...

Caesar Skyman raised his eyebrows.

There's no one behind the pillar.

...

....

" Oh, Lima ! Where were you ?!"

Neliya cried, hugging Lima by the shoulder

" We thought you were not joining the cookie baking !"

" Yeah, where were you ??"

Lucky asked, her ornament crown of red shining rubies always on her red head.

" .....I was at the restroom."

Lima replied shortly, as her gaze moved slowly aside,

Straight at Neruko's cold cat eyed stare.

Lima turned away,

And they all walked to the Sky Kitchen.

...

....

Caesar Skyman frowned to himself.

Things about these children were always fishy, Caesar thought,

Have Castiel told them the truth ?? Before his mind is under my control... Perhaps.

He must look on,

So his plan may succeed in swell.

" My Lord. Your ride is ready."

A courier Android came to report.

" Ahh."

Caesar Skyman put on his StarBreaking Helmet, a helm so unique and primitive,

It's the Celestial Helm.

The one Starbreaking helmet that controls all Starbreakers through unseen waves and perform light magics Caesar has yet to unleash in situations called for. And Caesar Skyman in his mighty StarBreaking Celestial helm of Lord rode the royal Sky Pod to a meeting he should attend.

" Tell Caerlia,"

Caesar Skyman said to the courier Android

" She will take my place, till I return."

" Rest assured, my Lord."

The courier Android bowed.

...

......

Back in a room, with the lights off save natural lights beaming onto the floor a thick line from the outer world of Sky, Yuri sat leaning by her bedside, hugging her knees with much melancholy.

Her broken weapon in two pieces lay in front of her feet.

" So sad, such Melancholy."

Yuka said, peering out at the whole Skyworld from the window

" Come on, we've all got vacation. No missions ! I see it's an absolute win, right, puppy ?"

" Bark bark!" Elsa the puppy barked in Yuka's arms.

(But it's supposed to be house arrest, Yuka...）

Yun sighed sadly

( What can we do to encourage Yuri....?)

" That reminds me."

Yuka turned to the Yuno, still sipping water from her elegant tea set, sitting in the lounge

" Have you told her, Yuno ?"

Yuno chuckled, putting down her glass cup

" Mm, I think it is time."

And Yuno brought Yuri to the balcony of their dorm,

The scenery of the whole of Sky World before their eyes.

While Yun and Yuka took Yuri's weapon to the back and began fixing.

" Here."

Yuno gave Yuri a luxurious cup of water

" Drink some."

Yuri drank it

" This isn't water."

" It's tea."

" ......."

" Well ?"

".....it's ..not as I expected. "

Yuri replied, putting the cup back down gently.

" Really..."

Yuno chuckled.

They sat at a glass table by the edge of the balcony, watching the Sky pods and airships fly across the skies far away in silence.

" You... Yun, and Yuka..... I haven't really got to know all of you. Who are you, really ? And how do you all seem to know me so well ?"

Yuri asked, seriously and mildly annoyed, by how everything seemed to be hidden from her by them, especially Yuno.

" I checked the assignments and mission Infos the other day, and the three of you were not in any of them.

I didn't mind at first..... But, You three don't seem to exist."

Yuri looked at Yuno seriously

" Who are you ?"

Yuno sipped her tea calmly with a secretive smile.

" Have you heard of, the Herunis Carna, Yuri ?"

Yuno asked, and Yuri gave a sudden jolt at the name, staring at Yuno suspiciously.

Vitas knows.

The Skylord might know.

But, why does Yuno...?!

" Don't be scared, Yuri."

Yuno smiled

" The Herunis Carna, it is somehow kept in all four of us."

" Us ??"

Yuri asked.

" Yes, and it is what The Sky Lord seeks. To seek the Herunis Carna and use it at his will, to fulfill his final step of the grand plan."

" Can the Herunis Carna do that ??" Yuri asked in wonder.

Yuno looked at the skies, her thin eyes opened but seemed closed

" The Star Force of the Herunis Carna is a gateway many considered to be.... Miraculous.

It is powered by Memory, memory of the self, Memory of the Worlds, Memory of Memory.

Memory, is the Star Force,

The more we remember, the more power we have.

And through the Herunis Carna, one can achieve,

Miracles."

" What kind of miracles, Yuno ?"

Yuri asked, eager to know more.

" Miracles like how four of us are all here.

Me, Yuka, Yun, and you, Yuri,

We are The Same, the same existence, but in different version of worlds."

Yuri couldn't understand.

" There are many forms of Worlds, Yuri.

Many versions of memories, and multiple possibilities of one specific time.

We are you, but of our different forms of Worlds."

" Then why are you all here ? in my World ?"

Yuno looked afar with much melancholy

" Yuri, you and I, and Yuka and Yun, we have a purpose, a mission given to us to seek the Land of Light, the Herunis Carna by the same mother. All of us starts from there, and from there we try to find it and use it to save this dying Earth. The ultimate goal, is to save, Earth and Humanity."

" ...Earth and Humanity...?" Yuri rephrased in question.

" This big world we live in, was once a prospering civilization. But it's own powers consumed themselves and it has fallen, and this home falling apart. Demons rise, and the living at it's mercy. We all tried to prevent the world's full destruction, but all of us lost, against different forms of the enemy.

All Our World's Herunis Carna destroyed, and with our last power, we came here through it, for one last Stand."

" No way..."

Yuri felt sorry for their loss, lost of words by such an unbelievable, mind blowing revelation.

Which means, if what Yuno said was true, Yun, Yuno, and even Yuka has lost their worlds.

At least she still has a chance !

To fight, to save this world !

" But.... What if.. I lose... Too ?"

Yuri asked, now fearful of the Future

" What if I can't find the Herunis Carna ??"

" No worries, Yuri."

Yuno placed her hand on Yuri's comfortingly

" We will help you, and you need to just listen to me, then The Future will be safe."

" The Future...."

Yuri nodded, a concept full of hope within.

As Yuno seriously observed Yuri's reaction.

" Then.. What do I do now, that I'm under house arrest ?"

Yuri asked Yuno.

" No rush, we'll wait until the suspension is over. Next week."

Yuno advised

" Then we'll go in a search for Your Herunis Carna."

" Do you know where it is ?" Yuri asked excitedly.

But to Yuri's surprise, Yuno shook her head

" Only you will know, Yuri. It's connected to you alone Here."

...

.....

While the construction Androids continued building for the Grand Mssion, Caerlia, the champion of all Starbreakers, the Lansara Suprima, walked around the site, inspecting the work.

" Hearken."

Caerlia Lansara pointed at a burning wreck underneath the construction sight

" How do you explain this ??"

" Report : "

The Android began report

" The day before, there be a disturbance from above, and the Object was pushed down by a StarBreaker in cold Justice."

" Cold Justice, eh ?"

Caerlia smirked, checking the surveillance footage from the Android's memory files, and saw Yuri kicking the Android and causing the piano to fall.

" What futile struggle."

Caerlia shook her head in dismay

" What have become of this misguided Sibling of light ?"

Her Exaltedness so asks because of her birth rite. Caerlia is The second Prototype StarBreaker and so calls all the others her lesser brothers and sisters.

" The StarBreaker in question has been suspended for a week for violating the Captain's orders. Now in house arrest."

The Android replied.

Caerlia nodded, and looked at the footage of Yuri causing the Piano to fall over and over again

" Somehow...a cute struggle...din't you think ?"

Her Exaltedness asked out of the blue.

" Excuse me, Your Exaltedness ?"

The Android asked.

" None of your business !! Shoo !"

Caerlia waved the Android off and the Android quickly left, while Caerlia went on watching the footage of Yuri kicking off Android and piano, chucking secretly.

But then there's a hustle and dispute behind Caerlia, sounds of angry old men speaking angrily with raised voices.

" What's the meaning of this, General !"

The voice of the Bold Captain of the Delfalak Airship spake with old man rage

" Has the Captain destroyed my Ship ?!?!?"

General Solo StarBreaker was there also, trying to reason with the Captains, but angry Captain louder than reason

" Jargo Captain, it's not what you think..."

Solo tried to explain, but the Captain of the Delfalak Airship, with a mustache and a bald head, this Captain Delprim Jargo cut Solo off with a bothersome hother

" It's what I see !! With Me own eyes ! There ! There ! And There ! My prized engines and designs of me Airship, now torn to pieces !!"

Captain Delprim Jargo roared, pointing around the Grand Slam construction sight.

" Tis True~"

A blond handsome Captain of the Airship Hydrangea also crooned in dismay, joining the fray

" My beloved vessel, the flower of the skies, it's petals scattered more in this bloody fiery disgusting grave of forsaken Ships ! Alas~~! The lies and deciet of the Sky Lord !"

" No Deceit and no lies, Captain Valentine ! Let me explain, Captains ! Your suspicions are pointless and will only confuse !"

Solo General of StarBreakers calmed the crowd of Captains.

This angry Captain, captain Delprim Jargo has a StarBreaker under his league, a silent huge knight of no words, a StarBreaker that seldom speaks, but looms his presence as he appears.

They call him David, but that is but a little nickname name like Carrie for Caerlia. Some others call him, the Starbreaker hunter. As he now stood tall and looming behind his angry captain.

" General Solo speaks no truth and but sugarcoat the vile Schemes of the Sky Lord !"

Captain Delprim Jargo cried angrily

" I Hereby Declare a Distrust on You, Solo and Thee Sky Lord !! Come, David ! You will duel Solo and win my place as New King of Sky !!"

This Captain Jargo achieved two things while saying this line.

One, he is the first ever person to declare a Distrust. Which, implies his later fate.

Second, he is the first ever captain to coup on his King. His historic achievements are undoubted, we'll watch his career with great interest.

David moved forward, fully armed and clad in his Starbreaker Hunter armor and stood before Solo menacingly, without a word.

" Bruh !"

Solo looked at David with reluctance

" I don't want a Fight like this. You know the consequences to fight on Skyworld. Are you sure about that !?"

David, said nothing.

" Fight him down, David !! Make me King ! Of Sky !"

Captain Jargo roared triumphantly as other mistreated captains cheered and rallied behind him.

" This has become too ugly for my liking."

Captain Valentine turned away and put a hand to his face to block his sight at the scene captain Jargo is making

" I'll be no part of this."

" WHO DARES FIGHT IN MY PRESENCE ?!?!"

The Captains shuddered and stood back in fear, hoisting their backs straight to a still salute.

Both Solo and David stepped back from combat position.

Caerlia Lansara Suprima, her Exaltedness stepped forward to Captain Jargo's presence.

" So I've heard."

Caerlia hissed murderously, leaning down at the little bald man, now terrified and petty

" You want to be king."

" No, Your Exaltedness, I hold proper Suspicion of What the Sky Lord does to our Ships !! And this Grand Final Mission ! We seek explanations !!"

Captain Jargo spake, standing still like a lowly soldier reporting.

" Explanations....??"

Caerlia didn't understand, bending down to the little man's level and looking at his dumb face with utmost contempt.

Caerlia couldn't understand, because

" What kind of Explanations should the Gods make for You petty existences to understand ???"

Delprim Jargo Captain kept silent and looked down on his feet, to hide his anger and shame

" Now leave."

Caerlia ushered the courier Androids to push them all out of the construction sight

" All of you, House arrest. If I see you wandering down the Streets of our proud Sky World,

I Will Kill You."

The last four words were enough to send the displeased Captains back to their cabins to weep in fear.

" But, I am not part of this."

Captain Valentine tried to argue, but one glance of her Exaltedness sent him back to his cabin.

Captain Jargo, Shamed and Belittled, planned his scheme to overthrow the Sky Lord more thoroughly in the dark,for Hate towards Sky Lord brews stronger in weight !

" .... Is that not too harsh, Carrie ?"

Solo asked after the Captains were all gone.

" Are you forgiving Treason, General ??"

" No no cat, Your Exaltedness."

Solo hurriedly bowed apologetically

" I'll stay here and guard the Construction. you take a rest."

Caerlia humphed, turning away

" Guarding all night ?"

She asked Solo.

" No. I hope not."

Solo replied.

" Good."

And The Lansara Suprima turned slightly around, looking at Solo through the edge of her eyes

" After dinner, my room."

And she left, with courier Androids following her cautiously.

Solo paused for a moment

And grinned at himself.

...

......

" But... What does the Sky Lord want to achieve through the Herunis Carna ?"

Yuri asked Yuno, the sun setting before their eyes, their shadows sitting on the balcony growing taller

" That you need not worry, Yuri."

Yuno replied

" The Sky Lord's schemes can't hurt you, and he knows not where the Herunis Carna is. You need just find it first."

" Alright, I still have one question, Yuno."

" What is it ?"

" The memories here are Lies made up by the Sky Lord...

Then, my Mother.... my first memory of my mother, shielding me from the Light....It is real...is it ?"

Mom...

The blue Snow....

" It is, Yuri. "

Yuno replied slowly

" Memories before the light are real. The Skylord may produce fake new first memories to block the real ones, but the true memories are never destroyed, but inhibited to glow.

We all have the Mother that saved us, Yuri, that's how we are still here. Tha'ts how we are born."

" Born ??"

Yuno's tea cup dropped to the balcony table with a loud abrupt clatter.

" Are you serious.....fine, that's how Babies are made... Right ?"

Yuno stammered with a quivering smile.

" ..... Babies....?"

Yuri asked

" Yun mentioned that word before.... What can it mean...."

" YOU CAN'T NOT KNOW, YURI."

Yuno said aloud, trying to keep calm but the glass of the balcony table shook

" That's.... That's how we.. Reproduce....!"

Yuri stared at Yuno, dead serious

" Go on."

Yuri said, very concentrated.

" Listen carefully, Yuri."

Yuno came very very close to Yuri's face, sounding calm but not calm in the inside

" Everyone has a Mother, and Father. You have a Mother right ?"

" I have Papa Bradson !"

Yuri answered innocently.

" NO. Not that Father, it's..... gosh darn it...!!!!!!

Listen, when a mother and a father...they do some close intercourses with each other's bodies, and through this process, the father plants a seed in the mother and...the seed Will Grow, and Grow Up, and become a Baby !!! That's how babies are made. kind of."

Silence.

Yuri looked like she was enlightened.

" ...does it hurt ?"

Yuri asked after a very long pause.

" Possibly."

Yuno replied.

" ...okay...." Yuri sipped her cup of tea and said nothing more and stared at the now night time Skyworld, lights dazzling across the towers bridges and skypods, glistening among the vast blackness. Reminding Yuri of the night sky full of stars.

" ....Why is the sky Dark while the stars are all shining ....?"

Yuri asked, not particularly asking for a question, a question Lima once asked her at the first night they met on the Betelgeuse.

Yuno's cup holding hand twitched in slight shock, but hid it quickly with her other hand covering smoothly.

" Yuno ?"

Yuno's eyes were slightly wider than before, and this time, she didn't immediately reply.

" .....Because the Stars have forgotten their Mother's glow....."

" What ??"

Yuri didn't hear what Yuno had said in her quick whisper.

" Nothing. Let's have dinner, Yuri. I'll call Yun and Yuka."

and Yuno swiftly took care of the tea cups and headed back to Yuri's dorm, as Yuri stayed a few moments longer, letting the stars fill her eyes.

...

......

Caesar Skyman's flying air pod finally arrived at the barren lands of rocky canyons.

To a high plateau at the end of the canyon.

Caesar Skyman landed his sky pod on the plateau and got off, whispering incantations to reveal a Magic elevator of ancient technology which brought him down, down below, Inside the plateau that was once a military base,a mechanic weapons laboratory base full of broken down wires and engines and computer engines.

In the middle of all the torn down mechanic equipments, stood a mighty orb vessel opening slowly as Caesar Skyman approached, and inside that vessel, is a StarBreaker.

The thin prototypic armor unlike the ones of those that now roam and fight the Demons, but an armor curled up with circular claw like appendages, arched projectiles to open gateways, ways to other dimensions.

It was not just any common Starbreaker of combat.

It was a Bradinn armor of it's own kind.

And in that thin curled up Bradinn armor, suited a young woman.

A woman of dull golden short hair, pale and pure of appearances.

" Hearken, Bradinn."

Caesar Skyman greeted the one in the immobile Bradinn Armor, floating inside the vessel through energies unknown.

" Caesar Skyman..."

This woman in the Bradinn armor spoke in a thin breathing voice that had not spoken in eons

" ....Have you come to bid farewell ?"

" Very astute, Svela, Bradinn Das Noma. I have come to bid farewell."

Caesar Skyman nodded.

Das, as in Third, in ancient tongue.

Noma, as in numeral assortment, also of ancient tongue.

Third of the Bradaperegon, one of the Seven Bradinn units to Save and Restore Humanity of the Earth Century,

The Bradinn of Mind and Conscious.

To build worlds, through controlling the minds of living sentient Beings.

Caesar Skyman lied to the World through this Third Bradinn, through her powers of mind and conscious to manipulate memories and belief.

But that's not all of the Powers this Bradinn could achieve had it been in her full prime.

" So you have finally decided to forsake Earth. And be rid of Earth civilization, and Memories."

Svela, The Bradinn of the Mind spoke calmly

" For a scoundrel of the likes of you, I am not surprised."

" But I have left you with a choice, Bradinn."

Caesar Skyman smiled benignly, unlike his true intentions

" Will you join me, and continue to engineer the beliefs of the next Human society ? Or stay here and lay waste for eternity ?"

Svela chuckled, looking down at the fake Lord Caesar Skyman with such contempt

" Your inhuman ways to lie and Deceive will bring you nowhere, Caesar Skyman.

We Bradinn are created to save humanity, not let a vermin such as you play God.

My destruction will serve as redemption.

Be gone, Caesar Skyman, may your love befall a gruesome end."

Hearing this, Caesar Skyman howled with laughter, turned on his Celestial helm and downloaded the last datas of the Bradinn of the Mind and Concious in to his helm that tranmitted it all into his brain, comsuming the knowledges forbidden to mankind. And after Caesar has done stealing the secrets of the Earth saving unit, He turned off all the storage power sources left for the Bradinn inside the vessel, turning it off entirely, for it to fall into the dark silence to eternity.

" My love..."

Caesar Skyman laughed like a Mad Man

" Is beyond your understanding.... You mere Hormonculus !!!"

And as the Bradinn began to fall to eternal slumber,

Svela croaked

" If it's love.... You seek...... You've asked the wrong... Bradinn...."

And the Bradinn base started to crumble, on itself, burying all the secrets and once powers to save the human race deep into rubble.

After Caesar Skyman sucked all the powers of the Bradinn with his Celestes Helm in cold Justice, he left without turning back, flying away back to Sky World in his air jet.

" Solo, You seen this Footage before ?"

Caerlia asked, lying on bed under the bed sheets with Solo, and showed Solo a footage from a virtual screen above them, the exact footage of Yuri kicking the construction Android and let the Android drop the piano down.

" It's funny. And she's kinda cute. "

Caerlia giggled, every time she watched it.

Solo looked at the footage carefully

" ... I think I know this StarBreaker....."

Caerlia looked at Solo, eyes wide like saucers

" I want to meet her."

she said in a serious tone.

" What ???"
