Season:2 EP:1
...-//10:48 PM - Location: sector-04 / Taiga forest - year: [cannot detected]//-...
Deep inside the forest, animals are asleep, the water stream song brings everything into a peaceful silence, and crickets play their harmony with the moonlight.
[Opening]
a fast swift slashed the air, in the middle of the forest, a portal cracked open, with a scream by a girl. inside, a dark figure of a lady ran through, she fired back at the portal 5 shots from an unknown weapon "Get away from me!" she yelled.
5 shots flew inside the portal, 4 sounds of them getting deflected by a blade went up, a figure dashed out of the portal when it was about to close, holding 2 red blades charging at the lady, the lady tries to fire her weapon again but got slashed away by a dark claw from the figure.
???: "Ahhhh!" the figure caught up to her, and he give her 2 slashes at the same time on the back, making her fall on the ground. the lady laying on her back, arms lifting herself up, she saw the figure in front of her, pointing his left blade at her, his red glowing eye with a red X as the iris staring at her soul. "crap.... guess you win... DC-404... or Jame as you like..." she said, seriously.
Jame stared down at the creator, the one who started this all. "I told you... i will find you... no matter what".
Jame take his left arm back, he was ready to shut down the creator, "Wait! wait! You have to understand, all I did was all to save my world, you have to understand!"
Jame: "Your world is already dead... you failed... and bring many timelines to an end, i can't let you continue with this sin. you must die!"
Creator: "NOO"
a fast cut right on the neck of the one who started it, her head fall onto the ground, blood flows, scream echoed through the forest, Jame put his blades back at his sheaths, he look down at the corpse of the person he has been chasing from timelines to timelines, universes to universes. finally, he can rest.
Jame: "damn... all those lives i took just to kill this b**ch, i need to go home..." he fly up in the sky, letting the wind move his tail, hair, and clothes, "I wonder if everyone here doing fine." [initializing... / 2563 km remaining] [accelerate: engaged]
he flies in the sky with his mechanical blade wings, looking at the places where he used to be with his friends, noticing everything has changed a lot. after some sightseeing, he speeds up to the location where he is heading to.
after a few seconds of fly time, he landed on a grassy field, walking to a peach tree, he clean the tall grass around it using his levitating claws, revealing a small grave beneath the leaves. Jame kneeled down next to it, and he wipe away the dust on the brimstone, "I'm home... Kirie", all the memory went through his head, he remember the one he loved, Jame sat down with Kirie, he look up the sky, looking at the night stars, he said: "hope you can hold my hand again..." the night wind passing by with the crickets song making the place feels alive somehow.
[11:00 PM]
After a good while, Jame says goodbye to his beloved, he continues his way back to his home sector, a quiet neighborhood near the forest where he meets his first friend. Jame landed down in the yard, his wings get put away, this is just a simple house, 2 floors and quite modern, Jame take the keypad to enter his home. the light went up, the home A.I welcome him back at home. Jame turns the speaker up to listen to his calm music.
Jame: "Jays, can you prepare a bath for me?"
-[Jays]- : "Of course" [preparing]
Jame: "The house seems lonely ever since we last played here. soo fast... yet soo short" Absolute solver takes off Jame's clothes and then put them in the cleaning machine, Jame went to bathe with the warm water touching his skin, even tho he can't feel anything no more.
playing with soap, watching his favorite show on the TV in the bathroom, Jame having a good life again, after the bath, he goes to the living room with the sleeping clothes, the TV there put on night shows, Jame lying on the couch, hand grabbing night snack, claws taking alcohol in the fridge, never tired, never sleep. living the night like a lazy vampire.
[Jays]: "Just to remind you, staying all night is bad for your healt-"
Jame: "I know Jays, no need to tell me, go to sleep mode"
[Jays]: "Very well owner, hope you have a good night" [sleep mode: on]
Jame: "Hmmp, funni"
the night went long from night to early morning, with the sun slowly rising up, the neighborhood begin to slowly wake up, except that house, Jame still stay laying on the couch watching youtube, enjoying his show, he didn't realize it was morning already, all his focus was still on the TV screen.
[Jays]: "Good morning"
Jame was kinda surprised: "Ooh, it's morning already? huh, i didn't use the time at my original world" Jame stand up, his claws cleaning the table and chair, he let out a stretch, "ahhh~ well, time to go see my friends. by the way, Jays, what day is this?"
[Jays]: "June 20th, 2217"
Jame was shocked: "What?! it's... how long have I gone?"
[Jays]: "About 70 years, since you leave the house, I have been keeping it in the best condition waiting for you to come back"
Jame: "70... you're the best AI i ever know, but have to go now"
Jame quickly takes his clothes and then ran out of the house, he flies up, many cores around see him, but they don't care much.
Jame: "Please tell me you are alright... CLARE!!!!" [accelerate: engaged]
he makes his way through the cybernetic city, dodging flying vehicles and tracking his signal, passing through every part of the city, reaching the street where he needs to get, Jame landed down on the road, and some of the cars almost hit him.
Stranger#1: "Hey idiot, know how to land!"
Stranger#2: "Is that a core?"
Jame: "Sorry! Sorry! No time!" he quickly runs to the sidewalk after fixing the ground, passing the people's sight, he finally gets to a neighborhood where his friends were staying. passing from house to house, he finally gets to Clare's house. he rang the bell, hoping she was still here, "c'mon c'mon" stroking his hair, and waiting in front of her house.
after a few seconds, the door finally opens, Jame expectation was beyond confusing when he see a Core with pink hair greet him. There was a name printed On her shoulder, "HC-7740-V / Vinny"
Vinny: "Hello sir?"
Jame: "Uh... OH uh, is Clare home? Clare Deammer?"
Vinny: "You must be Jame right?"
Jame: "How did you... never mind, can i see her?"
Vinny: "Unfortunately.. she's gone... passed from old age"
the truth slapped on Jame face like a Knife stabbed straight to his core, he was shocked, and feel something that isn't happy, rather traumatized. but he still keeps his tone, his tears together to listen to Vinny.
Vinny: "She told us a lot about you before she has gone, this house now belongs to her next generation, come inside"
in front of the invitation, Jame cannot deny, "Alright..." he entered the house. with Vinny. inside the house that once used to belong to Clare, he recognized the picture she has taken, from the party night to the beach party, in two years all the memory he had had with his best friends. on the way, He noticed there's a purple hair girl with a white long sleeves shirt, who is working on her desk, she turn to look at him for a split second before Jame pass by.
Jame: "Is that her... kid?"
Vinny: "Yes, her name is Minty Deammer, she is 19"
Jame: "damn... i even miss that moment..."
Vinny: "Clare's husband has passed before her, pretty sad to watch them go"
Jame: "Man... do you know Nathan? or Rose?"
Vinny: "Not much information Clare give me, but i think they are all gone"
Jame: "God... i can't... ugh.."
they get to a room, Vinny opens it with her key, it was an old door, once the door opens, the first thing he recognized, was his old clothes, it got framed on the wall. around the room, he sees many things that used to belong to him, even the pistol he created for her...
Jame: "She keeps all of this... all these long?"
Vinny: "She told me to show you this when you return, she said, she wants to look at your face one last time before gone"
Jame was completely broken down, his tears begin to run down his cheeks, he picked up the photo on the desk, in it, Clare, Nathan, Rose and he was inside.
Jame: "I'm sorry Clare..."
Vinny: "Do you want some paper?"
Jame: "No no, I'm fine"
Vinny: "Well, you can take your old suit back, she also told me to give it back to you wh-"
Jame: "No... you can keep it..."
Vinny: "Why?"
Jame: "Just an old memory" Jame turnaround, back at the frame, he walks out of the room to leave, Vinny also goes with him. On his way, the Girl named Minty stopped him, she asked him: "Wait! Are you really the one?"
Jame let out a sigh, he stroke his left hair covering his left eye, on the left side of his face, there was a black line running down from his forehead to his left eye, and inside the left eye, she saw the red X switched to a white cube.
Minty: "OH MY GAWD YOU REALLY IS HIM!"
Jame: "Yeah, you're a good kid"
Minty: "Can i have a picture with you?"
Jame: "Sure"
Minty takes out a camera to take some pictures with Jame, he created a highly advanced drawing pen to give her as a present "Here you go"
Minty: "Woah thank you soo much!"
Jame got a flashback about Clare when he looks at the joy on Minty's face, he knows he still can pay back what he lost after all this long.
after some time with Minty and Vinny, he has to go now.
Minty: "Will we can meet you again?"
Jame let out a warming smile: "Yes, I'll be around"
Minty: "Yay, Goodbye Jame the Death Core"
Jame: "Goodbye Minty, Vinny"
Vinny: "Goodbye sir"
Jame waved goodbye to them, his wings switched out and fly away, Minty and Vinny on the ground waved at him go.
Jame: "Still too early to go home, all the time i have gone, i wonder if they questioning where i had been, but maybe, i found a new purpose soo i can stay here, or maybe... i should try to go to work, yeah..."
he flies across the sky, and out of the sector to rest on a snowy mountain in a different country maybe, laying on his back, letting the snow falls on him, letting the animal rest on his side. Jame let out a relieving sigh, ever since he traveled through different dimensions his sleep mode has been disabled, now he can't even sleep, but that's alright, he can still close his eyes and pretend to sleep like his human self.
Jame: "Mari... what are you doing here?"
a tall girl from behind him staring down at his face, Jame gets up, and he turns around to look at Mari.
Mari's clipboard and pencil doing their work: "Hello :>" "You doing well?"
Jame: "i know you watched all this time, soo, no need to ask"
Mari: "Haha sorry. anyway, welcome home, sorry that your friends aren't here anymore"
Jame: "No need to tell, i expected to see Rose still here, but... *sigh* too long"
Mari: "You know it's pretty nice to watch this world stay in place after you almost destroyed it"
Jame sits on the snow again: "Eheh"
Mari makes the sky clear out the cloud with her power to let the sunshine on them, her pencil continues writing: "Hey, there's a problem by the way, ever since you left and kill the creator, I noticed many strange activities around the worlds"
Jame: "What do mean by that?"
Mari: "Well don't want to make you panic or anything but this world is about to experience some universe fusing together, other worlds, exactly 3 universes about to combine with this one... yeah"
Jame: "What the F**K?! when?"
suddenly a heavy eruption happens, and the sky and ground begin to glitch, crack, and break before fusing together.
Jame: "MAAARRRRIIIII!!!!!!"
Mari: "Sorry Jame" she vanished.
Jame: "GOD WHY ME AGAIN?!" he floats up to observe the damage that is occurring, every second he sees pieces from the sky fall down making a strong impact, then it got replaced by different pieces. everywhere in the world, the space, all getting chaotic. suddenly, he realized, "Minty..." Jame accelerated back to the old house.
back there, Minty and Vinny are outside, watching the assimilation of the timeline right in front of their eyes.
Vinny: "Minty, we need to get to the safe place"
Minty: "Wait i need to get some pictures" She takes out her camera, but then a piece of the sky falls down, it falls right on their spot.
Vinny: "Watch out!!"
Minty: "Oh cr- AAAHH"
Jame dashes in action, he takes out his blades, then quickly cut the sky piece into dust right before it hit on the two. afterward, he put the sword back into his sheath, "You two alright?"
Minty: "Jamie!!" she smiles like a kid, he runs to Jame and hugs him.
Jame: "Glad you okay kid"
Minty: "What is going on?"
Jame: "Hard to explain, but your safety is my priority duty. Vinny takes her back inside the house"
Vinny: "Got it"
Minty: "Wait who is that?" she pointed to a figure behind Jame, he looked back, he saw the humanoid figure from the distance quite close to them.
Jame: "What the" [warning: diverged entity detected: "I.C-372n"] Jame is quite flabbergasted, "Take Minty back inside now..."
Vinny quickly brings herself and Minty back inside the house, they look through the window to see what will happen.
Jame stand his ground, his halo and claws appeared, hands ready to take out his blades. the figure from there looks like a girl, it brings his head up, glowing X-Purple irises can be seen in her eyes, her black blond hair flying with the wind, she wearing very unusual clothing, like a long dress, but with a warning sign on the middle with the number that's glowing on her shoulder sides. there's blood all over her, even her face, she smiling a very creepy wide smile.
"Who are you?" Jame said, he doesn't know what type of AI or Core is she.
the girl: "I.C-404...."
Jame: "What?..."
the girl: "YOU WILL DIE HAHAHAHAHA" [matter construction: online] Many spikes form out from small particles around her, and they fly toward Jame with extreme speed.
Jame: "Woah!" he drew his blades, claws, and swords slicing and parrying all the income projectiles, he saw the girl run toward him, hand holding two large scythes, she slash at Jame, but he quickly dashes, but his tie got cut off. the girl let out a murderous laugh before she makes some debris around her to levitate up, with many spikes flying at Jame again. he use AS power to redirect all the stuff flying toward him, Jame dashes up to her, the girl swung her scythes at him, Jame turn on acceleration, his afterimage making her thought that she sliced him, but Jame from behind, his claws sliced off two of her arms, then his blade goes through her chest before the other blade cut off her head.
the girl falls down on the ground, black liquid flowing out of her body, and the glowing number on her shoulder sides stopped emitting the purple light. Jame put his blades back he goes and examines this strange entity named I.C-372n. "what is this?.. IC? What does it stand for?", his confusion is beyond explainable, but it's not the time, Jame disintegrated the body, then he run back to the house, and the eruption are getting more violent.
Minty: "Jamie!"
Vinny: "What is that? what is going on?"
Jame: "No time, stay close to me"
Minty and Vinny after he finished, both hold on to him. Jame then created a protection sphere around them, "are we going to die?" Minty said.
Jame: "I promise, we will survive"
Minty hug Jame tighter, and they all close their eyes except Jame. he stays firm in his mind and feet, ready for anything that will happen.
the timelines are getting more unstable, it has been damaged too much, but soon will all be complete. after some good 5 minutes of strong violent time, everything stopped. Jame when everything has gone silent, makes the sphere disappear, "is everything finally over?"-Minty
Jame: "The house seems intact, Vinny take this" Jame created for her a cybernetic pistol.
Vinny: "Woah, uh hehe, I don't..."
Jame: "Keep it, I need you to keep an eye out for Minty"
Minty: "Wait where are you going?"
Jame looked back at her: "Stay safe..." before teleporting out of the house.
Minty and Vinny looked at each other, they got out of the house, and they see everything was normal. like nothing has happened, but the differences that.
Vinny: [warning: detected 1000 unknown entity] "What when did i.."
Minty: "Hey Vinny, why does my phone keep receiving these messages" She shows her phone, the messages: "Warning: "weapon of mass destruction has escaped, seek shelter immediately"
Minty: "Let's go to my mom's safe house"
Vinny: "Agree"
they went back to their house, packing their stuff before getting in their car and driving far from there.
-----------------------------------(back to Jame)--------------------------------
Jame: "Mari... what have you done...?" he flew across the sky, checking the damage, before something stopped him, making him shut down and fall down. before hitting the ground, his teleport ability suddenly function and bring him to a strange place.
when he opened his eyes, he saw himself in the middle of the wasteland-like desert, there was nothing but rocks, cactuses, a road, and a diner from afar. "what the hell? where am I?" Jame stands up, he takes a moment to look around before deciding to go to the diner from afar.
Jame: "ahh why raining now?" Jame makes his blade sheaths, claws, wings, and halo disappear, he doesn't want to make much attention, so he put on himself a grey hoodie. then run to the Diner, before it starts to rain heavily.
