Ch7. Remain/Death Pt 2

[information and story narrative]

The four walked through the halls being escorted by suits like always, being allowed to eat and talk for a short time in which Hideo was made fun of by his friends. Not long after mother would come hugging and laughing with her 'children' asking to see there designs for the project she had tasked them with.

Praising them for there Group achievements pointing out V as she was the one who helped with functionality, augmented movement, elasticities, coding, organic tissues splicing, personality and memory uplink etc. that each of the kids did on there own but asked for her help.

A while passed before being taking to a room to go over political, tactical in general understanding. After done getting straight into work, all pulled up their cybernetic designs going to work. Mother had a smile as she thought of a new age of humans never knowing that the V linked the bodies to of each respective friend. Knowing that these would be used for the future of this woman's goal in cybernetics. Also planting ghost in the shells to help if the worse came to happen.

Unknown to the 3 of them excluding V the designs were in not just designs, far below the warehouse giant machinery and pods by dc.cross designed were at work, growing, organic and in organic materials. Making shells, there designs were different in nature but only under the surface could it be seen. After find out V tampered with the machinery so it only relayed what she wanted them to see back to mother and cross. Out of all the shells V was the most dangerous, muscles fibers finely mixed with cabin fiber and other thin woven metal that were put together by her to create metals of a harder and well pass durable metals that she deleted not wanting it to be used for any others, highly advanced up to light reflecting camouflage, organic bone structure mixed with stone and concrete like substances and Carbon fiber interlinings at all major structures of bones. Finely put together to create a monsters, while still keeping some organic material as well as not opting for a fully cybernetic brain. There was no need for that the implant was improved by her helping to regrown failing brain cells and tissue effectively masking the brain immortal. Putting Heavy and light denser plate on parts of the body to control weight not to crush any lover she might have. While she made adjustments to others especially motoko but let them freely creat well mostly as a lot came from her thoughts.

(Cybernetic body images here)

After they were finished, they spoke as mother sat with them asking what the quote meant in the corner of the designs.

"Wake up to reality" Vasha said looking at the quote while leaning.

"Oh I know this one" Luke said wanting to say it until motoko spoke.

"Wake up to reality, Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world. The longer you live, the more you realize that the only things that truly exist in this reality are merely pain. suffering and futility. Listen, everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light, there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there is a concept of victors, the vanquished will also exist. The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, initiates war. and hatred is born in order to protect love." Motoko smooth voice said as she closed her eyes thinking of the quote the first time Vasha had told it to them.

"Where is it from?" Mother asked curious at the words spoken.

"From me, it is the truth is it not mother" Vasha looked at mother with a smile that shook mothers heart slightly.

"That's enough for today let's go it's time for you to train again" mother looked away standing and walking away.

'Hatred is born in order to protect love' mother thought as she had memories of a man.

[a few hours in to training]

V and the rest trained as V noticed the suits leaving after they sat and talked waiting for mother to come back but then it all went down from here. Alarms were heard as the training room looked itself down and in the next second a explosion happen.

*Boom Xf*

The two boys were flung away as there bodies hit the wall being strong and knowing what to do they tried to get out only to be crushed by beams and fire burned them alive, v rushed to motoko jumping on her as a beam like pole came down stabbing her through the back going through her chest and into motoko stomach.

"V! Why?!" Motoko said crying as he looked at V face who smiled.

"I said I would protect you..stop don't look. Just look at my face. Do you remember what I said about if anything happens?" V said while blood ran down the sides of her mouth.

"Y-yes.. fol-low the ghost" motoko cried trying to pull them closer being scared.

"Good, Listen, everywhere you look in this world, wherever there is light" V said pulling herself down putting her forehead on motoko and taking of a bracelet putting it in Motoko's hand.

"there will always be shadows to be found as well." Motoko cried more saying the other part and gripped the bracelet.

"It turns out you guys are my light.. especially you motoko" v said as the roof crashed down killing the both of them as they still held hands even in death.

'Death is only the beginning, I gave you your chance to find a better way but this is how you wish to do it. No matter what happens I will kill you with my own two hands.'

Thoughts flashed as the fire burned four bodies with life's ahead of them were here but they did not know just what kind of lives they would have once death was not something to be scared of again.
