<ⅩⅫ>
Neruko had sensed a disturbance in Kai and the other children held hostage by Skylord.
Skylord have manufactured her, with his unorthodox technologies, a body of a little girl to stay with the children, to spy on them as his eyes. Yet to Neruko, who still deep in her heart wishes best for the welfare of the children that had once treated her well before, seeks to keep the children safe si as not let them defy Caesar Skylord at this critical moment.
But Neruko suspects Kai be doing things under her nose, commanding the children to defy Caesar Skylord behind her back which will only anger the now powerful Caesar Skyman and bring no good, So Neruko sneaked behind Kai to a corner to stop him.
But then saw Tricia, blocking her way.
" Tricia....What the.....？？"
Neruko felt suspicious ! And Lo, Kai came up behind the cat eared loli And hit her head hard with a metal plate !!
And together all the children hiding as per Kai's plans, rushed out from their hiding and apprehended Neruko in haste !
It was Kai and Tricia's plan all along !
" STOP ! The Skylord will have your Light sucked away !"
Neruko cried being tied up by the boys
" Don't do it ! Don't defy him just yet ! You will only bring doom onto yourselves !!"
But then Tricia, Old Castiel Bradson's hidden Homunculus child with secret techonologies not far lesser than the Skyworld Princess Sora herself, showed Neruko a vision through a touch at Neruko's temples and there Neruko saw the way as Bradson Castiel planned to join Yuri in far away Herunis Carna, a plan to escape Caesar Skyman's grasp.
" Now is the time...! Caesar Skyman had now lost all his spying sky pods !" Neruko excalimed after seeing Tricia's vision. Tricia so nodded in silence, for voice was not given to her at the last moment of Castiel Bradson's creation, so to hide Tricia the secret strategy to save the children, her identity from Caesar Skyman.
" Now is time."
The children listened to Kai who speaks to them through Tricia, the mouth of Old Castiel Bradson, protecting the children even under Caesar Skyman's mind control
" The Evil Skylord has sent all his spying skypods and armies to seize Yuri ! We must escape also to the Core where true light goes which Sensei saids will be safe for us !"
So Kai and Tricia led the children onto an Airship and escaped, bringing Neruko with them.
" But how about Lucky ??"
Some children asked Kai
" Lucky is still under Skylord's captivity !"
And Kai shook his head reluctantly
" We can't defeat the Skylord now. We need to find somewhere safe first, and reinforce ourselves to fight back again.."
And without answering Kai had news of the next step which Tricia showed Kai, which is to seek Neo, and the Starchilds. With their newly found powers do they stand a chance before the nefarious Skylord !
...
.......
Yuri quickly summoned a Herunis elevator to take her to the top of the facility which was built engraved inside a tall mountain.
She was scared. All her sisters of the Alter Worlds have lost and failed before her, and now The Way to save Humanity depends on her now alone.
The weight of Humanity,
Is upon her.
But she is not alone.
" Yuri ! ! !"
Yuri immediately found her friend Lima, already waiting for her on the mountain top, of the mountain above the barren lands.
Lima and Yuri hugged intimately
" I am sorry..... Lima, for leaving you behind... While we should have played Hide and Seek together...."
Yuri apologized for her death, and everyone's death long long before
" I will not leave you behind ever again. We will stay together, Hand In Hand, To the New World.
To our Future !"
" Okay....！"
Lima hugged back, relieved and with tears of joy.
" Uhh...okay, stop being all sappy now, guys."
Varium warned, pointing at the skies
" 'That' is Coming....!!!!"
And lo, it is the Crown Flag Airship of Caesar Skylord,
The one and only Black Airship,
The Arphamaegedon.
Coming to snatch the Core of the Earth, the Herunis Carna from them.
With her Exaltedness, Caerlia Lansara Suprima on deck, standing at the tip of the sharp Airship,
Her six crooked Lance rifles floating ominously around her.

Author's note : this video above contains the Caerlia soundtrack for this fight scene. Feel free to listen while reading onwards.
" I'll stop her."
Yuri stepped forward
" Varium, stay back."
" Huh ?!?! Why me stay back ?!"
The Dark Unerva asked indignantly
But Yuri summoned high tech energy Herunis pillar cannons from behind her and fired two of them towards the Black Airship, which greatly damaged the Crown Airship with but two strikes.
" Wow...okay. I'll stay back."
Varium stayed back and let Yuri do her thing.
Lima rolled her eyes.
Caerlia on the other hand smiled with glee.
" Finally....A Worthy Opponent !!
Our Battle will be Legendary ! ! ! !"
And Caerlia shot out first Two rifles, Ag·Likan and Fe · Pilias towards the mountaintop, the two photon Beams zigzagging and sprouting to many more beams as it came closer and closer.
Yuri quickly summoned an array of Herunis Sky pods, catching all the beams before they touched the Earth, and transported them back at Caerlia, sending all the photon beams back at the crown airship and the Arphamaegedon exploded entirely.
Such a battle, The Starchilds of Neo below the mountain watched in awe.
A Battle of the Gods.
" Hey !"
Ashoka one of the twins cried out to the others
" This tunnel is not blocked now !"
Indeed, the tunnel into the Herunis Carna, once blocked away by rubble,now opened, for the facility has returned to reality plane. And the StarChildren hurried inside, in seek of Yuri.
" Not bad.... Not Bad !!"
Caerlia Lansara Suprima laughed, stabbing her lance rifle Fe·Pilias to the shattering deck of the Arphamaegedon and Lo behold, Metal from the Earth below came surging up from the ground like hot springs and gathered to the Black Airship, rebuilding it and becoming a huge instant fortress in the air.
Yuri fired several Herunis beams but could no longer penetrate its new metallic walls.
Yuri knew she must go forth, and confront Caerlia herself, to protect the Herunis Carna, the Last Hope For Humanity.
" I'll go with you ! !"
Lima cried eagerly.
" But Lima."
Yuri looked at her best friend
" You need to help me activate the Herunis pillars from here, when the time is right to strike her down.
Can you help me ?"
Lima bit her lips reluctantly, but agreed.
" Hoh wait !! Take me too !!"
Varium laughed mightily
" I can slay StarBreakers too !"
But Yuri with a backflip kick, kicked Varium off the mountaintop, letting the Dark Unerva roll while screaming to the foot of the mount.
" She can't go. That Starbreaker champion is special to her."
Yuri shortly explained to Lima
" Wait for the Right Moment, Lima !"
" I got this ! GO！"
And Yuri with her mighty bow shot her grappling hook towards the Alphamaegedon, grabbing the soaring grappiling hook by the tail and dashed forth with it towards the Black crown Airship.
Caerlia immediately greeted Yuri with rays of Light beams shooting down with many zigzagging stacks.
" YURI ! ! ! ! ! YOU TRAITOR ! ! ! ! !"
Caerlia Lansara Suprima cried with sheer malice
" You were like my Sister, Yuri ! ! ! I loved you, like I love all my siblings of Light ! !"
" You are misguided, by False Memories, Senpai !"
Yuri tried to reason with the Lansara Suprima, dodging the gradually increasing stakes of light bursting all over the skies above her
" The Skylord is Evil !! STOP ! Let me show you the Truth ! ! !"
" No... No no no ! !"
Caerlia refused, shooting down more beams of light
" You, And your Demon lot are Evil ! ! !"
But then, from the Herunis facility Mountaintop a flash, and a Demonic force shot right towards the deck of the black Airship where Caerlia stood, And it gave Caerlia a Dark Punch ! ! !
" Haha !! Me Varium on Board ! ! !"
Varium ! ! Found her way up the Alphamaegedon through Herunia pillar cannons.
The rays of Light stopped abruptly for a short second and Yuri too safely came up aboard.
" Varium ! ! You shouldn't Be Here !"
Yuri shouted angrily, worried so.
" Shiish ! I saved you !"
Varium barked incredulously
" And Not even You or that Herunis Carna thingy can stop my Vengeance towards the StarBreakers that took my sister ! ! ! Yaaaah ! ! !"
And Varium went forth to fight the raged Lansara Suprima, fighting a fight she should have avoided but still went full in.
It was like Fate, Yuri saw.
What is destined to be.
No.
Yuri shook off the idea of failure,
She had found the way of the Herunis Carna,
She Can Change Destiny ! ! ! ! !
" DAMN YOU.....! ! ! ! ! Damn you DAmn you Damn youuuuu ! ! ! ! !! ! ! ! ! !"
Caerlia Lansara Suprima shrieked with full rage as Varium's Dark Hand punch thrusted down to her face, which Caerlia caught in mid air, and ripped Varium's hand off with raw Exalted strength.
" HA HA !!You Think ! ! !"
And Varium's Demon hands respawned with a blink of an eye and she sank a punch towards Caerlia's other side of her helmet, which The Lancer Goddess caught again with her other hand, steaming with hot rage, StarBreaking Energy bursting out of the gaps of her armor.
" You Dare ! ! ! !"
Caerlia cried a shout and instantly summoned a million stakes of light bursting out of her Armor, piercing through Varium's every piece of dark flesh.
Yuri quickly bumped Varium out of the Way, and let the Light lances run through her activated midst of evasion instead, letting the Evade Midst miss it's targets fully.
Varium was saved, once.
Caerlia slammed her crooked rifle onto Yuri's face, and smashed Yuri's helmet whole, exposing Yuri's unprotected face.
And quickly Caerlia pointed the tip of her rifle at Yuri's face and fired without sentiment, as Yuri grabbed the zigzagging light beams in her hands, holding it an inch away from her face.
The Light beams, burning her hands and face with extreme Light.
But Yuri still wistood that blow.
Seeing Yuri in great peril, Lima fired a strong jet stream Beam out of a Herunis Pillar cannon, but Now is not the time yet, and the Herunis beam crashed through the ship, still saving Yuri from instant demise, but Missed Caerlia the Lansara Suprima entirely.
Caerlia raised her rifle again, aiming at Yuri's face once more, but Lo, Varium regained her regrowing full Dark Hand and grabbed the Starbreaking rifle upwards, shooting through the Airship wings and engines above which exploded in a ball of immense flame and destruction.
Lo, with a agile backflip kick, Caerlia kicked Varium off board, sending Varium screaming and falling off, again.
Yuri was relieved at first, for at least now Varium is safer.
But The Lancer Goddess loomed upon Yuri, with her Six Lance rifles all pointing at Yuri's face.
" I was wrong....."
Caerlia chuckled menacingly
" I really should have brought my Star Saber armor with me... No matter..... Soon you will rest and bask under the Light of Paradise, Yuri ! ! !"
The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
And Caerlia pierced all the rifle lances down at Yuri, but Yuri quickly leapt away, and with her Sword rifle Yuri fought against the many rifles, swinging to cut her head off at the same time shooting death beams close to her face.
Yuri has the lower hand, Caerlia is too strong.
Suddenly, the lands below the Alphamaegedon erupted into a sea of Fire !
And sheer flames as strong as the strength of the roaring storm waves of the greatest tempest rose up to the Black Airship's deck and Lo, a new comer in a huge red mobile equipped with three sharp set of pincers of fire spraying crash landed onto the deck.
" Stop, Senpai !!"
Cried this New Comer Red StarBreaker
" Wait.....! Please......"
Yuri looked up.
" .....Firren Commander !!"
Yuri cried out and Lo it was Firren.
But not just Firren, But Firren Alenia Custom Armor.
Firren had achieved legendary armor through honest work, and surely it was honestly paid.
" Move !!"
Caerlia ordered Firren but the young man won't budge, protecting Yuri.
" You have already won, Senpai. What else do you want ??"
" I Want All Demons Destroyed ! ! All Traitors paying the Price ! ! !
For all Of us, For All My siblings ! ! For The Land Of Light ! !"
Caerlia shouted with justice rage
" What do you Fight for, Firren ?!?! Aren't you supposed to Fight demons invading from the North ?! What do you want from here ?!?!?!"
" I want Yuri to be safe."
Firren finally spoke, what he thinks, what he feels of Yuri
" I came here, as soon as I heard Yuri was alive out there after all of Skylord's persecutions.
I want to tell her, I love her.
And I want to protect What Yuri wants to Protect !!
I am Sorry, for being too late, Yuri.
And sorry to you, Caerlia senpai,
I won't Back down."
" Then Die."
Caerlia spake coldly and struck down light beams which Firren parried and began punching Caerlia with flame bursting lava punches, and with one backflip fist bash onto the deck, the Alphamaegedon erupted to flames and separating them from Caerlia's grasp.
" Firren......"
" It's alright, Yuri."
Firren spake comfortingly, shielding Yuri backwards
" You don't need to say anything or answer my requests.
Just be you.... That is enough for me. But now........"
Lo, Now Caerlia floated in the skies, burning a strange new glow, her eyes full of Light and her crooked Lance rifles outstretched around her, like rays of the Sun and Caerlia the center.
There Caerlia floated, gathering energy from all the metal and powers from the Earth, with huge crooked lances of the sheer metal of earth rising up all over the burning plains under the Sky,
Such a scene,
煉獄昇平
Of the Living Hell.
" What is she doing ???"
Yuri asked Firren quickly.
" Senpai.... She is beginning her Grand Summoning. Of the Everlasting Last Lance....The Tree of Everlasring Light. "
Firren seemed to be cowed by what transpired before his eyes
" It's coming.... The Seventh Lance, The Yggdmillenia..... We must retreat before it's too late !!"
Yuri was struck with fear also by the Powers and Incantations Caerlia Lansara Suprima chanted as the Ancient powers of Nature is about to implode and grow into a mushroom smoke Catastrophe that could wipe off everything in the face of Earth.
Yggdmillenia · Kundara
The Everlasting Tree of Light.
The World is like an Everlasting Tree,
When cut off, a branch,
It grows again, in a different Form.
" With that Power.... Senpai will break the common orders of this current World and blast entropy back before all this has ever begun.
It is too strong a Strike, Not meant to be struck onto this World ! ! !"
Firren cried and took Yuri by the hand, ready to pull her to safety.
But Yuri stood her ground.
Not turning back.
" I can't turn back anymore."
Yuri told Firren
" This is the path I chose. Firren, commander.
Thank you for trusting me..... Trusting the World not of light, But Of Hope.
Thank you, Firren."
And Yuri went towards the Grand powers before her, not turning back.
...
........
Kai with the other children, stealing a small escape jet under Caesar Skyman's busy nose, finally arrived into the Herunis base where Neo and the others were also waiting for them.
" Neo."
" Kai."
The two boys, two leaders of different groups of children, after intense days of strife finally meet again.
" We have found the Core. The Core of the earth."
Neo showed the children and Kai the Herunis Carna
" It is as Sensei so said, a power of Miracles. With this, The Skylord will return Nia, Kiro, and Lucky to us."
" No, he won't."
Kai spake fiercely
" Tell them, Neruko."
Kai then had the boys bring the tied up cat eared loli Neruko to Neo
" Tell them, what will Skylord do with this Core ?"
Neruko reluctantly answered Kai
" He... He will take the Core, and with everyone's Light as energy... He will go to somewhere else, far away....."
Neo and the Starchilds were spooked and shocked, exchanging looks of disbelief
" There's.... No Land of Light...??!!"
Feira asked Neruko angrily with tears, but still came to free Neruko from her binds.
" No...."
Neruko admitted with guilt ans despair.
" Then.... Yuri！She's right !"
Neliya cried in realization
" Skylord is Evil !! He used us to find the Core ! Now the World is doomed, because of us !!"
" Not. Yet !"
All the children looked aside, and gasped !
It's Finnir ! ! ! !
Carrying Princess Sora on his back !
" Sora !!"
Rio cried out and came to his Love, but Sora wake up not !
" What have you done to her, Finnir !!"
Rio shouted with rage, grabbing Finnir the weak boy up by the collar. Feira came hurriedly to stop them.
" I broke her."
Finnir admitted
" Now she is disconnected from the Skylord. She is Ours now. Our hostage."
Rio wanted to punch Finnir but Neo stopped Rio.
" Finnir, you mean, we can use the Sky Princess to get Lucky and Kiro.... And Even Nia back ?!"
Neo asked with hope.
" That is so."
Finnir bowed weakly.
Kai looked at Tricia, who looked at the situation with unease. For this was out of the plan Castiel Bradson had for the children to stay safe.
And at that exact moment,
Neo received a Call,
From Caesar Skylord himself.
With the children gasping and forgetting to breath for a couple of seconds
Neo answered from his Starchld helmet
" Ahh, Neo. Truly well done."
" Yes."
Neo agreed
" Now, as Promised. You must return Lucky, Kiro, and Nia back to us !"
" Certainly."
Caesar Skylord smiled
" But, First, Return Sora to me."
" NO !!"
Neo negotiated angrily
" You return my friends first !! Or.... Or we'll destroy Sora !!!"
" What ?!?!!!"
Rio raged and went to take Sora back but Thoka and Ashoka came and trapped Rio in their grasp, as Finnir so commands secretly, for Finnir knew his want for the princess might endanger their plan.
" You can't do this ! ! Leave Sora alone !!!"
Rio cried angrily But Neo didn't care of what Rio shouts
" Oya oya oya.... Destroying Sora will bring you no good, Neo."
Caesar Skylord chuckled
" Nani ?!"
" You see ? Sora is my container. Everyone's Light, All The Light of this world, is inside her.
Including Kiro, and Nia's.
If you destroy Sora, you destroy Nia.
Now. Bring Sora back, so I can take their light out for you.
And also, if you don't obey, Lucky will die. Painfully."
And from the other side of the comunnications, Neo could hear the tormented screams of Lucky !
Caesar Skylord is electrocuting Lucky !!!
Neliya burst into tears and the children all in anguish and terror.
Even Neruko wept, for all the children's efforts are now in vain.
Skylord continued
" It's alright. Neo. You have done well enough. Stay there.vSecure my Princess and the Core that is the Heruis Carna,
I will come to you.
Remember Secure the Herunis Carna's safety.
Your friends depend on it."
And Skylord out.
" You should have saved Lucky... Kai ! ! ! !"
Neo came to his old friend angrily.
" And you should have saved US ! ! !
With your powers now !!! From Skylord ! ! ! !"
Kai Shouted back
" Don't blame this all on Me, Neo !!! You led us all into this in the First Hand !!!!"
As the two leaders of children argued with grave intensity,
Tricia thought hard for ways to help the children right now.
Finnir also sank to deep thought.
" I know now what to do..."
Neo then carried The unconscious body of Sora to a platform of Herunis Carna
" I will open her, and get all those Light the Skylord has snatched, back to us !!!"
Rio couldn't believe his ears.
None of the children could.
" No.... No Neo... Don't !!"
Neliya sobbed and rushed to stop Neo by grabbing his arm
" Think of Lucky... Please....!!"
Neo shook Neliya off him with such anger and guilt
" Lucky is a lost cause. But...Kiro.....And Nia.... !!!
Everyone's stolen Light !!!! Right before Our Eyes ! ! ! ! ! !"
" We can still save Lucky ! There must be a Way !!"
Kai Shouted with reason
" Please !! Don't do it Neo !!!"
" Now. Then Never."
Neo had been Had by the Skylord for too long. This is his Revenge on Skylord.
Neo, his impulse, telling him he must hurt this Princess,
For hurting them !! For hurting the Children !!
" Skylord is too Evil !! He must pay !"
Neo shouted and was about to tear the Sky Princess with his Starchild Sword with Starbreaking strength.
" But Lucky !!!"
Kai Shouted, trying to stop Neo.
" I already said."
Neo spake determinedly, holding up his Star Sword and pointed the tip at Kai's neck, halting Kai at the spot
" Lucky is a lost cause."
" NOOOOOOOOO ! ! ! ! ! !"
Rio finally broke free from his restraints and rushed up and punched Neo in the face, snatching back unconscious Princess Sora back into his grasp
" NO ONE TOUCH HER ! ! ! !"
Rio shouted with his huge Star Great sword waving at everyone
" Sora is my Love....and All !!
And Together we will leave !"
And Rio was about to take Sora away to somewhere safe and away from everyone.
" Wait, Rio !!"
Kai again tried to reason with Rio, such a negotiator
" At least... Think of Lucky....."
" Lucky is annoying and selfish and only thinks of Kiro ! That's what got her caught in the first place !!"
Rio argued and some kids agreed silently behind Kai's back
" All my life, I have been living under the shadow and oppression of Neo ! Now Neo is oppressed by someone stronger than him, and I say Serves Him Right !!!
I Deserve Sora ! ! !"
And Rio triumphantly took Sora to exit the Herunis base.
" DON'T ! ! !"
Neliya grabbed onto Rio desperately
" This is wrong..... Please..... We must stay together..... We are torn apart by Skylord's Evil Plans ! ! !"
" HUMPH !!!!"
Rio cried indignantly, shoving Neliya away from him
" You only Love Neo ! Away !!"
And Rio, couldn't contain his anger no more, slapped Neliya to the floor.
And seeing Rio do such a act, Neo was awakened by the fires of rage, and came to Rio, punching Rio to the ground.
The children came to stop them, and Alas !!
It became a all oout Battle Of children ! ! !
Neo wants Sora.
Rio wants Sora.
Kai wants Sora.
And Thus started the Children War, battling in Herunis Carna.
Historians, suspect this as the first ever true battle that led to the division of the Children, separating the tribes in this One iconic fight.
Tricia looked at the children in sheer terror, and sent all she saw back to Old Bradson Captain, who stood up from his seat of Captain in shock and despair.
He was being Caesar Skyman's captive for too long, and the scene of children hurting each other awakened his heart as a Man.
Old Castiel Bradson stood up, and marched his way out of his cell, towards the Androids that stood guards at his jail cell, fists clentching with rage !!!
...
..........
Meanwhile, As Yuri went to stop Caerlia, She heard a scream !
It's Lima !! Attacked on the mountaintop by many Demons, a Sea of Demons !! All hungry for Herunis Carna and found their way up the mountain top !!
" Go, Yuri !!"
Firren cried and suited up his Alenia armor with a burning flash
" I got this !!"
And Firren in his upgraded Alenia Custom Armor sped down to Lima and helped guard the gates of Herunis Carna from the seas and seas of Demons raging frenzily to corrupt the Herunis Carna for themselves.
While Yuri went up, up to the unstoppable Caerlia in the sky.
" There is no Land of Light, Carrie Senpai !"
Yuri cried out to stop her
" The Skylord is deceiving you with memory Manipulations !"
" There is !"
Caerlia spake with hope and firm unbending determination
" Not on this Earth. But in the Stars Beyond !"
Caerlia pointed at the Skies and her Seventh Last Grand Lance appeared, pointing straight into the skies like a sky holding pillar, its excellence like a blazing Star brought down with her fingertips
" Caesar Skyman has a plan. The Light in us all will help him ascend, and he will lead us there.
That, Is The Real Land Of Light and Love, And Paradise ! ! ! !"
" And with your one great strike.... You will destroy this Earth ?"
Yuri asked sadly.
" Yes. For All the Demon kind to Perish."
" But The Demons ! ! !
They are People Too ! ! !"
Yuri argued back.
" But They Took My Sister ! ! !"
Caerlia shouted back even angrier
" There's no place for discussion. The Demons shall pay !"
Yuri was tremendously saddened
" ..... You aren't willing to talk with the Demons.... And without understanding each other, you are destroying what you swore to Protect ! ! !"
But Caerlia Lansara Suprima couldn't care less and focused on summoning her Grand weapon, as her other crooked Lance rifles flew down by themselves, as if Caerlia were wielding them herself, hitting Yuri on their own with great precision and accuracy.
Yuri was beaten up and fell, but quickly she summoned and pulled a huge Herunis pillar up from the Earth as her footing and fought the Six Mighty rifles alone.
Finally,
Caerlia, with her chanting like singing eventually finished, the Summoning now complete, held up a thin branch of sheer Star light in her hand.
The Yggdmillenia Lance.
Caerlia walked in the sky, coming towards the Herunis Carna, which Lima so the chance fired a Herunis beam towards Caerlia,
Who with a single wave of her Yggdmillenia Lance it swept the huge thick coming striking blazing photon beam of the Herunis cannon flipping to a side,so slapped the beam away, hitting a side with great explosion.
While Demons came more and more and Firren fought like an unstoppable super sayan.
Yuri was too beaten to stand, and the lances flying around hit her from all sides and she fell.
One Lance came down to penetrate her !!!
" Not that fast ! ! !"
Varium !!! Punching the Lance away with her Dark Hand, rescued Yuri from certain demise.
" Now We're even !"
Varium humphed, grabbing Yuri up to her feet
" Looka !! That crazy Bitch StarBreaker is going to destroy your Herunis Carna and Your best friend !!
Wake up !!
Surely you can do more than just sword and rifle !"
Yuri was enlightened by Varium's words, and with a wave, the whole metallic Lance filled barren land began to erupt with the Whole of Herunis Carna platform rising like a huge plateau ! Surging up to Caerlia's level.
Yuri quickly drank some Water from her water bottle and regained strength and vitality from The Herunis Carna networks around her that rose to support her.
" Ho ho. Are you approaching me ?"
Caerlia Lansara Suprima, seeing all this happen, chuckled menacingly, her Lance of pure Light shimmering in her grasp.
" Yes. So that I can stop you from taking away the Herunis Carna !"
Yuri called out.
" Yeah ! And I can't punch you if I don't get close enough !"
Varium mocked angrily along side Yuri.
" Ho. Then come as close as you wish."
Caerlia smirked and came to Yuri and Varium in the skies, and Lo with her Rifles shooting down light beams from above, Caerlia fought the two with her new Everlasting Lance, and such a drastic change of speed and force, all exceeding how Caerlia fought minutes ago, with one smash, Yuri's hand armor burst apart, her hand destroyed and unable to hold anything anymore.
And that was just the first Strike.
And with double speed, Caerlia dashed forth again bashing her Lance at Yuri's stomach, but Varium grabbed Caerlia back but Lo ! Caerlia slashed her Lance back with a flash of a milli-secind and Varium's Dark Hand burst into smithereens of Dark.
Caerlia can't be beaten.
" DAMN....!!!"
Varium made a great determination, and with her Respawned Dark Hand, Varium pulled off her only good hand !!!
Such pain !! Varium cried out in agony !!
And from where the good hand was, a New Dark Hand burst out with Dark pus.
Varium no longer has only one Dark Hand, But Varium has now Two Dark Hands !!
And Caerlia suddenly faltered in shock,
Hearing Varium's painful screams of agony as she grew tow Dark Hands,
Reminding Caerlia of something, someone she had long forgotten.
But Caerlia quickly put that wonder aside and went forth, clashing with the Two Dark Hands Varium with such speed and power.
No.... Yuri called but her voice couldn't come out, due to the immense pain of her stomach.
Is this... Fate ?
No..... She can still stop them ! She must stop them from hurting each other !!!!
...... Varium..... Carrie senpai.....! ! ! !
Stop ! ! ! !
At that moment
The world moved in slowed pace
Lima fired another Herunis cannon beam,
Caerlia parried the coming beam with her Everlasting Lance.
And Yuri, with all her last strength, with her sword in her remaining good hand, striking forth while Caerlia was parrying.
That moment,
That split second,
Caerlia already knew Yuri was coming,
And grabbed Yuri by the throat,
With the other hand, Her Lance holding hand, her Grand Yggdmillenia bulged into a huge skyline Spear with a blazing force, crashing Heaven and Earth, about to run Yuri through to the beyond.
The seconds turned to hours,
Light, moving so slow,
And Varium,
Dashing forward with all her remaining strength,
Caught the Lance with her Two Dark Hands.
Light and Dark both erupted in the skies.
And Lo, after the explosion sunsided,
Did Yuri realize, With all her efforts, she still failed.
Yuri lay on the Herunis plateau, broken and burnt.
And lying not far away, among burnt scorched Dark Nano particles, was Varium.
Both her Dark Hands were gone, and a huge hole, so huge that her chest was barely left was burst open, penetrated by That One Everlastung Strike.
Author's note : the video above contains the soundtrack for this scene. Feel free to listen while reading onwards.
" no.... No......"
Yuri crawled to Varium's side as the dying Dark Unerva slided her face towards Yuri's direction weakly
" Varium..... I am sorry....... I AM SORRY.... VARIUM...... ! ! ! !
I shouldn't have let you come here.... I wasn't strong enough....."
" Shut up...."
Varium croaked, dark blood running out of herlips and severed lips
" Have you forgot..... ?? You've got a Child... Remember........? And I...... I got nothing........"
" No..!! Varium.... You're Wrong ! You are All Wrong ! ! !"
Yuri shouted in agony at both Varium and Caerlia, Caerlia standing by rather strangely quiet.
But....
Nothing would change even if Yuri told Varium the truth. Nothing will.
Everything will be the same....
Thus is the Fate, of the StarBreaker and Demon.
And Yuri decided to remain silent, and stay with Varium.
Varium looked at Yuri's sobbing and she too began to tear up
" Damn it...... What are you crying for.... You damned StarBreaker..... damn it......!!!..........
.......... damn........... What to do...............
........I am scared...Yuri...............
...... I don't want to die..........
..... I Don't want to Leave yet.....!!! My sister......where...is she......!!!
............MY SISTER............!!!!!!!"
And like all perishing armor, The Dark Unerva armor scattered into Dark Ash, into dust in the wind, but after all the dark ash swept clean, something remained.
The body of a pure , lifeless country girl.
Varium's purest form.
Dead.
But not gone,
For a small speck of light blossomed where Varium's Heart should have been, and that small light like petals of a fluttered flower, floated its way to Caerlia, who stood holding her Light Lance Yggdmillenia, watching all this happen in silence.
The petal of Light landed onto Caerlia's palm, and faded.
Tears, even Her Exaltedness didn't realize, began streaming down her cheeks
" ..... Vaerlia........?"
She staggered, closer and closer, frenzier after each step made,
Her knees crashed onto the Herunis platform, kneeling next to the motionless Varium's body.
So did her Grand weapon, sinking through the platform due to grand heat and energy, sinking down and down to oblivion.
" Get your hands off her..... LEAVE HER ALONE ! ! ! ! !"
This Caerlia shouted at Yuri frantically, throwing her helmet away, the fierce menacing stance all gone,
But a devastated desperate sister hugging her long lost sibling close to her trembling arms.
Memories of Long before, of a pair of loving sisters in Solar industries, living side by side before the Industry's fall.
All returned to Caerlia, at long, long last.
" Vaerlia....... No.... No no no..... My sweet sister....... No...... .......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!"
And the grief, the despair, disconnected her from all her weapons and StarBreaking powers, sending her rifles of unique abilities, different sources of metal, soaring down to all directions, different places, struck deep into the mountains and earth far of man's reach.
The Alphamaegedon fortress began to crumble and shatter, crashing down onto the barren broken earth.
Everything collapsed.
Firren, with his ever blazing fire strength dashed in to the crumbling platforms and grabbed Yuri out to safety, just before a metal pillar crashed down onto where she sat in deep melancholy.
The Alphamaegedon was ended.
And So was Caerlia Lansara Suprima,
Never will the world face another Noble Miracle such as the Yggdmillenia Kundara Lance.
And Varium, sleeping tight with her sister's warm embrace, at long last, to everlasting rest.
Caesar Skyman stood up from his seat.
He never would have anticipated such an outcome.
He thought Caerlia would be strong enough to erase the Demons, and hand over Herunis Carna alongside Yuri's head on a platter.
Caesar Skyman had never felt so beaten in a long long while.
" Feeling Lame, Caesar ?"
Caesar Skyman turned around,
Staring face to face with Old Castiel Bradson, escaped from his manipulations and arrest,
carrying the fainted, wounded Lucky in the old man's arms.
" Lame....... That word brings memories. Bad ones especially."
Caesar Skyman chuckled angrily, having been said lame for the first time in ages
" But why.... Have my Celestes Helm lost Power ? No no no.... It must be...."
" Caesar."
Bradson spake sternly and with well contained anger
" Your cruelty and devilish ways towards the Children, and those you revived, are Too unbearable for the Human conscious to stay aloof."
" Really...?!"
Caesar Skyman gnashed his teeth
" That's not even scientifically explainable !!"
" Doesn't have to."
Bradson replied calmly
" you will fail, Caesar. For you have become an animal without a Heart, a failure of Beings."
Caesar Skyman chuckled, turning to sarcastic jeer and later laughed demonically
" You don't understand, Do you, Cas ?!
Those people...the Children you so cared about ?!?!?!
They Are Not Humans ! ! ! !
They Are Already Dead !! DEAD ! ! ! ! !
They are but moving puppets !!
I MADE THEM ! ! ! !
..... And I'll destroy them,
And harvest their Light, for My Sky World to Transcend towards the Universe, and Find Claudia ! ! ! ! WHO IS ALIVE AND WAITING FOR ME ! ! OUT THERE ! ! ! UNLIKE MINDLESS PUPPETS ! ! ! ! GO ON ! ! LEAVE, CAS, LEAVE !! Soon.... Soon you'll see how I Ascend, While All of You Fall and BURN IN HELL THAT IS CALLED EARTH ! ! ! ! ! !"
And Old Castiel Bradson held Lucky close to his arms and walked out of The Sky Throne,
Out of Sky World.
Out of Caesar Skyman's delusions,
Or, foresight, maybe.
" I recommend you leave, Solo."
Bradson Captain spake to the StarBreaking General standing guard as he walked out of the Sky World gates
" Your Skylord stands no chance before the next struggle of New Life that will surely prosper on this Earth."
Solo smiled sadly, looking at the skies and the fallen Alphamaegedon not far away
" My apologies, Captain."
Solo sighed a long sigh, of the times
" We, Bradinn, are born to serve. Serve Human. The struggle of New Life still has to pass through Me to eradicate The old Rulers of Earth, Man.
That is Fate, the System Order of the World, old friend.
May you find a safe spot and wait,
For your New World to come."
And Solo finally put on His iconic alien Helm, The Helm of the once Saviors of Earth, The Bradinn.
He, Solo, the last remaning upgraded Human Being to wield the Bradinn Weaponry,
the End Of Star.
So the System programmed.
His Fate
Of Bradinn.
