Chapter 10: Their goal is.
A hand carefully fixed a broken [OUR CAMERA]. With a slow hum of tech, it fired to life, revealing a man with a glowing blue heart standing before it.
"Finally, it's fucking fixed." He blurted out, then immediately jumped into the couch in a smooth motion and he's already laid back on his back. He began to doze off and closed his eyes for a moment. Then suddenly he felt a strong pain in his stomach.
"ARGH—!" he yelled as a lady jumped on his stomach. "You bump head, wake up! Teehee!" She then immediately ran off, He began to stand up slowly, in pain.
"I'm gunna kill you, you little brat—!" He let out a sigh and sat up. "Fucking hell man." He looked behind the couch to another individual.
"Hey man," he spoke to the other man. "Teach your stoopid sister a little bit. He's a pain in my arse. Like bro, I couldn't get any sleep after we all gathered together again, man…" He gestured towards where the girl had run off. "Fucking, hell." he muttered under his breath.
"Leave her be, it's not often we see her that happy, ever since you picked us off." A calm man voiced out. "We can't thank you enough for letting us join decades ago, but…" the calm man trailed off.
"You detected Nowa's signature again. I believe this time we will find him for sure." The voice layered with concern. "Chris, I believe our meeting together again as a group will allow us to finally reconcile with him. And—"
"Yeah, yeah, that fucking ugly mut ran away, blaming himself because Lancer and Bion died. I fucking despise him for running away." Chris paused, tapping his blue crystal heart in his chest. "It's time to find him once again after all these decades of searching."
The lady peaked out of its hiding spot. "Didn't we tried to find him more than we can recall?, everywhere we go is just another null he leaves behind, people he saved, don't remember him that much. Right aniki(Brother)?"
A wall covered in star maps, with certain regions crossed out in different colored inks (red for "null," blue for "checked," a single, uncrossed yellow path leading toward an unknown multiverse's general direction). The calm man who was sweeping his gaze onto the failed map, nodded.
"Yeah, it's his power. The voidflame and its effect, it erases not only the settings but also memories and stories once in contact with his black flames. A fascinating power for it to be existing on a human anomaly." the calm man taps his chin. "And also Kai, apologies to Chris."
Kai jumps out her spots, pouting and hands both on her hips. "Aniki! That's no fun!"
Chris smirked. "Hell yeah, hehe, listen to your brother Shin, our little frickin gremlin."
Kai pointed a dramatic finger to Chris. "I'm not little! And you're always like this! You swear and swear even when we first met! You have no control over your words, you bum head!"
Chris stifled a laugh. "It's goddamn built-in kiddo. And I'm freakin glad Nowa is even part of it, but with more control and more like Lancer's laid back comedy approach. Heh." He shrugged. "He's unlike before in our teenage era of him being a brooding, crying, anxious kid." A sobering pause. "Thanks to me and Lancer and for dragging him out of our hell hole world." A proud smile spread across his lips. "He's changed after it. But ever since they died, he…" Chris paused momentarily, letting the weight of it pass by. Then he turned to Shin now.
"We will give it another 1 year search, then if we still couldn't find him, we'll return to our normal lives in our own universe that that ugly mutt changed after getting rid of those Equilibrium bastard." He leaned forward. "We gathered again this time because this' my baby," He raised his right arm towards them and it slowly crystallized into a mechanical hyper advanced rune arm, then it hummed to life, showing holographic navigation pointing in a general direction. "Will now be able to track his general waypoint of his last Voidflame signature."
Shin nodded. "Yeah. Until then, if we still couldn't find him, we'll wait for another signature." he paused. "Just contact us like usual Chris, I know you're enjoying your time in your Universe with your.. uh 'girl-friend'."
Chris frowned. "What do you mean 'Uh girl-friend' she's real man!" He pouted.
Kai grinned devilishly. "Awww~ Too bad she's a robussy~ how can a human breed with Clankers~"
Chris pointed dramatically at Kai. "HEY—!" He shouted. "That's the neat part, I fucking loved it!"
Kai grins faltered. "Ugh, Boring." Chris smugly smirked and both arms laid back on the couch now. Kai sank into the floor like it was water and reappeared next to Shin and hugged him. "Aniki~ let's date!"
"No, you're my other soul Kai. That's not how it works." Kai pouted. "Hmmph!"
"....Right, as if you guys fucking each other isnt enough." he muttered the last under his breath. "Anyway, you two incest cambions," Chris stood up. "We need to enter hyper space now, take your seat, or not and enjoy being mushed like a pancake, like what Lancer and Nowa did when our first Spacecraft was created." He giggled at the ghost of the memories. "Shin, as usual, take the control surveillance station," Shin nodded. Chris turned to Kai. "and Kai," Kai gleamed. "Continue being cute as usual. And be seated nicely this time and don't destroy my fucking baby spacecraft's seat. Again."
Kai grinned. "Aye, aye, leader! no promises, teehee." Chris sighed. "Fuckin hell.." he muttered as he walked to the control panel. Near the pilot's seat, a two small, clean spots on a shelf where Bion's and Lancer's gear once sat, now holding simple, well-kept mementos, a glove and a joke book, as chris held his gaze on those relics with sober for a moment before focusing on the task. In a quiet moment, Kai's playful grin faltered when her eyes landed from a photo group of their full family, Kai, Shin, Chris, Lancer, Bion and Nowa from happier times. She quickly smiled again when she was noticed.
The scene zoomed out as Chris' new space aircraft a black sleek hyper advanced model tech floating in space, the engine fired as he issued a command. "We're entering hyper space, in 3—" an intense pause, then brokened. "What do you think I'm counting? Nah, fuck that we go blasting in space!"
He slammed the launch pad, then the engine roared to life. "Wait for us Nowa. Don't die yet, we still haven't talked about it yet." The word echoed in space as they became a light that traveled outside their multiverse towards their vague destination.
