Chapter 7:The moment she returned
This chapter will be a turning point.
No more hiding.
Aria is back.
📖 Omega Reawakens
Rain slammed against the windows.
Nova's back was pressed to the wall, her breath sharp and shallow as the man stepped forward — weapon raised, aim steady.
You don't know what you are,he said.
That's why this is mercy.
You're just a leftover. A glitch. You were never supposed to wake up.
Nova's hands trembled.
The air felt electric. The lights flickered.
And then—
He pulled the trigger.
---
⚡ It happened in one breath.
Nova didn't die.
She reacted.
The pulse blast stopped mid-air — frozen like time had bent around it.
Her body lifted off the ground by an inch. Hair weightless. Eyes wide.
The glow in her veins returned — brighter, gold and blue, racing like lightning under her skin.
And from somewhere deep inside her…
A voice.
No.
Not Nova's.
Aria's.

💥 The Takeover
The lights exploded. The glass shattered.
Nova opened her mouth to scream, but what came out was a command — spoken in a voice that wasn't hers.
Omega override: active.
Defense protocol: engage.
The man flew across the room and crashed into the far wall, gun spinning from his hand.
Nova stepped forward — no longer trembling. Her expression unreadable.
Her posture… different. Confident. Controlled.
Agent Kell, the voice said.
Still cleaning up Helix's mistakes, I see.
He gasped. That voice… no. No. You're gone.
Nova tilted her head.
Wrong.
I became the system.

🧠 Inside the Mind – Nova & Aria
In the midst of the chaos, Nova stood inside her own consciousness — a blank space filled with light and data.
And there, beside her, stood Aria.
Not a memory. Not a glitch.
Real. Solid. Herself.
What are you? Nova asked.
Aria smiled gently.
You're the echo they tried to bury
I'm the fire they failed to kill
And now... we're one.

Meanwhile – Liam's
He watched the power grid spike from a rooftop across the city.
The readings were unmistakable.
Omega energy. Level 03.
Aria…he whispered.
He knew she was alive.
And she was coming back.

Nova/Aria Hybrid
Kell crawled toward the door.
Nova stepped on his weapon.
Tell Helix, the voice said the ghost they buried just woke up.
And next time… I won't stop at defense.
She turned and walked into the rain.
Unshaken. Unafraid.
Not just Nova.
Not just Aria.
Something new.
Something they couldn't control.
