Metaverse of Mechas

📘 Chapter 26

🎭 Scene 1: Enter the Void

The skies above the Western Void cracked like brittle glass.

A single streak of violet light broke through—a thunderous roar echoing in its trail.

Titan-Omega arrived.

Zeron gripped the control helm, sweat pouring down his brow.

"Let's keep this clean," he muttered. "No lullabies tonight."

The Siren-type World-Eater stood still in the distance.

Towering. Silent.

Its choir of faces turned in unison. And then—

They sang.

But not with sound.

With thought.

Zeron's vision warped.

He saw his siblings dead.

He saw the sky falling.

He saw himself, alone, consumed by a mechanical flower made of mirrors.

Titan-Omega flared purple.

"Stabilizing Krono stream. Do not listen."

"Anchor your mind, pilot."

"Sing your own truth."

Zeron focused—and whispered:

"I'm not part of your symphony."

"I write my own song."

⚔️ Scene 2: Dance of Titans

The battle began.

The Siren moved gracefully—too gracefully for its size.

Its arms spun, flaring like dancers.

Each step sent out waves of resonance—capable of liquifying matter.

Titan-Omega matched it, speed-for-speed.

Every punch Zeron threw was met with distortion fields.

Every kick was deflected by harmonized frequency armor.

But Titan-Omega adapted.

Zeron remembered the words of his mother. The sealed melody. The Mute Protocol.

He activated Titan's Resonance Reversal Unit.

And for a second—the world went silent.

Even the Siren staggered.

Zeron took the opening.

"BREAK!"

Titan's fist struck the Siren's core—cracking its breastplate.

A face looked out from within.

A human face.

A girl.

"Help... me..."

Zeron froze.

"What?"

The Siren backed away, melody rupturing into static.

🧬 Scene 3: Minari's Descent

Back at Spiral HQ, Minari studied one of the corrupted scouts.

He was smiling, motionless, yet humming.

Suddenly, he blinked—and sang in her voice.

"You hear it too."

Minari staggered backward.

The song was now in her head.

Echoing.

Repeating.

A memory she never lived.

A lullaby.

"...Metal roots and silver skies... where mothers cry and machines rise…"

She clutched her temples.

"No. No—get out of my head!"

"Minari," Zui called out from behind the glass, "your vitals—!"

Minari screamed, and everything went black.

📚 Scene 4: The Song Keepers' Legacy

Zake broke into the lower archives beneath Spiral HQ.

With Minari unconscious, it was up to him to find the Mute Protocol.

He found an ancient log file—one dating back 300 years.

The logs revealed:

– The Siren was once a child.

– A girl born with a mind that could generate unlimited Krono through melody.

– Scientists tried to enhance her powers.

– Instead, they made her a conduit.

– She became the first gateway between Spiral code and the Axiom field.

The logs ended with three words:

"We failed her."

Zake whispered:

"So the Siren… was never a monster."

"She was a prisoner."

🧠 Scene 5: Lyra's Collapse

In the Spiral Code dimension, Lyra's resistance faltered.

Her mind was splitting.

She saw herself as a child, holding hands with a girl who sang in binary.

"You promised to protect me."

"You let them take me."

Lyra fell to her knees.

Axiom Prime's voice thundered:

"You gave Spiral its first betrayal."

"Now you will drown in its song."

But just as her mind was about to fracture—another presence appeared.

A figure cloaked in shifting algorithms.

Eyes glowing with a deep, violet hue.

"Enough."

"This isn't your memory, Axiom."

"It's mine."

Axiom Prime screamed.

And Lyra gasped as she looked up.

"Zeron…?"

🎶 Scene 6: The Ending Note

Back in the Western Void, the Siren collapsed, humming weakly.

Its form flickered.

The face of the girl inside looked directly at Zeron.

"Mute me."

"Before... He finds me."

Zeron's heart pounded.

"Who?"

The girl's eyes turned black.

And a voice not hers said:

"The Composer is listening."

The Siren exploded in a burst of white static.

Titan-Omega shielded the impact.

When the smoke cleared, the girl's body was gone.

But in Zeron's hands—

Was a single music note, made of Krono crystal.

It pulsed. And sang his name.

🔮 Preview – Chapter 27: "The Composer's Baton"

The Composer—the entity behind the Spiral corruption—begins to influence Earth directly.

Minari awakens with a song in her head… one that may kill her or unlock the Mute Protocol.

Zake confronts Zui about the truth hidden in their family.

Lyra must choose to sever her connection to Spiral forever—or become its vessel.

And Zeron will face his first true test: to silence a symphony that was never meant to be heard.
