Chapter 44 - CHAPTER 44: AFTERWARDS

Servants

So what can we do?! 😨

Hiko

slams the table "BANG!!"

Hmm… try to dig up the true history of Secterism.

We need to know not just the surface, but the inside truth.

Chapter 44: Afterwards

(Darkness fades. The vast control room glows with flickering blue lights as the Hikari battleship drifts through the void.)

Servant

Hmm… Sir Hiko, what exactly is Secterism?

Hiko

sighs heavily

Well… it's a historical time when the Ultimate War of Sectors' Annihilation began.

I only know fragments… but we need to go deeper.

No

we need to know every single thing. ⚡

("BOOOOM…" a low rumble shakes the room as holographic data appears in midair.)

Servant

B-but how, Sir Hiko?!

Hiko

Ugh… I know it's frustrating.

But there's only one option left.

We… need to call Kuro.

(A tense silence falls "Tchhhh…" static crackles around the room.)

Piko

Hey… dumbfuck! Are you seriously calling him?! 😨

Hiko

Do you have a better way?!

Piko

Ughhh… but you

Hiko

I know what you're thinking.

But we need him. So call him.

Servants

O-okay, sir…

("BEEP…BEEP…" the signal pulses through dark space, searching for Kuro's connection.)

Scene Shift White Holy Castle

(Golden clouds swirl above as divine light pierces through crystalline towers. Inside, the three Legends sit in a majestic hall.)

Vantres, lazily munching on glowing divine chips "Mum… mum…"

Vantres

So… you're thinking of giving power to him too? (chews)

White

Hmm… yeah. He's worthy too.

Vantres

(still chewing) But… are you sure?

White

Yep. Let's make him too.

(A loud "CRASH!!" echoes as Zygord slams open the door, frustration in his voice.)

Zygord

OI JACKASSES!

You two out of your minds?! 😤

White

What do you mean, BITCH? 😑

Zygord

What I mean, you dumbasses

I'm talking about that kid Flux and the power he showed!

You know what I mean, right?!

White

Hmm… yeah, we know.

But everyone also knows

if anyone tries to interrupt that evolution,

she kills everyone.

(Thunder crackles violently "KRRRRZZZTT!!")

Zygord

Tch… I know! But then tell me

why the hell did she suddenly use her power like that?!

It's almost impossible!

Even when we tried it in the past, nothing like this happened!

White

Hmm… I'm surprised too.

But I think it's because he lost control…

because of suffering Hikari.

(The room falls silent gentle divine wind flows between them.)

Zygord

Ugh… so you have any idea how we can control it?

If we can't… she could destroy all of us.

White

Already thought of that.

Zygord

raises brow What??

White

For him to control her,

he needs to become stronger.

That's why… I'm sending him into the Craptle Tower.

("SHHHHAAAA~" divine aura ripples through the hall.)

Zygord

And you think this'll work?!

White

Oh, don't worry.

Once he enters the tower, no matter who you are

you can't break the Laws of the Tower.

Zygord

And what happens if he… just kills every monster inside?

White

Still no problem.

Because no one not even us can break those laws.

But if someone too strong tries…

then it's up to Ixia,

because she is the Law of the Tower. ⚖️

Zygord

Hmm… fine.

But we better be careful.

White

I know.

Vantres

stretching arms Ahhh~ I'm full!

It was yummy, you know? 😋

White & Zygord

in unison Wow, a jackass finally speaks. 😑

(They all laugh lightly "Ha ha ha~" the air softens for a brief second.)

White

By the way, when you talked about "K,"

were you serious?

Vantres

Yep.

If he becomes stronger, I'll definitely call K.

By the way, what's that kid's name again… Mike, right?

White

Yeah.

Scene Shift Inside White Holy Castle (Guest Area)

(Flux and Alicia walk through glowing corridors lined with light crystals.)

Alicia

Hmm~ so, what are you going to do here in the White Holy Castle for a whole week? 😗

Flux

IDK…

(Flux yawns, stretching his arms"Haaah~")

Flux

Hmm, for now, I'm going to sleep.

I'm tired. 😴

Alicia

Hehe~ okay. Sweet dreams, sleepyhead. 💫

(Flux vanishes into his chamber as light curtains close "Shwooom~")

Scene Shift At Hidori's Training Ground

(A vibrant field of crimson and gold light. Hidori and Fruxiya stand facing Mike, the air dense with power.)

Mike

Hmm… so can you please train me?

I want to become stronger! 💥

Hidori

crosses arms Are you serious?

Mike

Yep. I won't back down.

Hidori

Hmm… what should we do, Fruxiya?

Fruxiya

Well… just train him.

He's Flux's friend, after all.

Hidori

Fine. We'll train you… but only for one week.

Not too hard, okay?

Mike

Why not too hard?!

I can handle it! 💪

Hidori

And can you tell me what happens after one week?

Mike

Huh?

Fruxiya

laughs softly What Hidori means is

if we train you too hard,

then how can you enter the Craptle Tower?

Mike

Ohh… hmm. Okay then.

(Camera pans up "FWOOSH!!" the sky glows red as their training begins…)
