Metaverse of Mechas

📘 Chapter 30

🛰️ Scene 1: A Song from the Stars

Deep in Spiral's orbital zone, an old, abandoned satellite drifted alone—silent, forgotten.

Until now.

Its lights flickered.

A dull hum emerged.

Then—music.

Not human. Not mechanical.

A signal in 13/8 time, pulsing through dark space like a warning wrapped in harmony.

Back on Earth, Spiral's Radar Base picked it up.

"We've got a ghost frequency—Sector Omega-9."

"Run a scan."

"It's playing… a song?"

The technician paled.

"Sir. The resonance matches the Composer's wavelength."

"But it's inverted. It's… alive."

🔎 Scene 2: Zake and the Watchers

Zake stood at the Spiral Archives, decoding the remnants of Project Lullaby with Zui.

Suddenly, a shadow loomed.

A tall woman, draped in gray Krono robes with a crown made of silence itself.

Her voice was a whisper in the room.

"Zake of Krono Sight. Come with us."

Zake's hand went to his pocket, touching his hidden blade.

"Who are you?"

The woman bowed slowly.

"We are the Watchers of the Rest."

"Guardians of unfinished melodies."

"And you… carry the unfinished legacy of your bloodline."

She handed him a music box.

It played no sound—until he held it.

And then—

Zake saw visions: a boy trapped in a sealed Mecha… eyes glowing red… purple circuits screaming from inside him.

Zui touched his shoulder.

"What did you see?"

Zake whispered:

"I think… I saw Zeron's future."

💉 Scene 3: Zeron's Sickness

Zeron had not slept in three days.

Not because of nightmares.

Because every time he closed his eyes… he heard music.

Not his mother's.

Not the Composer's.

But something new.

It echoed in the background of everything.

Street noise. Rainfall. Even Minari's heartbeat.

He looked in the mirror.

His veins—glowing faint violet.

A scan from Spiral's medics confirmed:

"You're undergoing… Krono feedback poisoning."

"But it's not hurting you."

"It's evolving you."

Zeron collapsed.

👤 Scene 4: The Arrival of "The Rest"

Elsewhere in Sector 4, a surviving member of the Composer's Orchestra was cornered.

He begged for mercy.

But a new figure arrived—floating midair.

She wore a long red coat and a mask of a sleeping face.

She called herself:

"Rest."

"Not the silence. Not the end. I am the space between the notes."

Her weapon?

A blade made from the final silence of dying Mechas.

With one movement, she erased the man from existence—not killed.

Erased—memories, records, blood.

Gone.

She whispered to no one:

"Zeron. You killed my brother."

"Now I'll make sure you hear every scream you silenced."

🧬 Scene 5: Minari's Mission

Minari accessed Spiral's inner sanctum.

A hidden room beneath the old research core.

Inside were records never released to the public.

Krono fusion experiments.

Zeron's parents.

Project: Violet Symphony.

One video showed Zeron's mother crying, holding baby Zeron as alarms rang.

"He's absorbing Krono!"

"He can't stop!"

Minari gasped.

Another file was labeled:

"Asset-000: The Resonance Catalyst."

It showed Zeron as a child, surrounded by broken robots… all of them playing the same tune.

🎶 Scene 6: The Signal Spreads

The music from the satellite began affecting Mechas on Earth.

Not violently.

But subtly.

Idle robots began tapping their fingers.

Some hummed.

Some stood up when no one commanded them.

And across the globe, engineers started having visions.

Visions of machines… waking up.

Not controlled.

But aware.

And at the end of every vision—

A phrase, etched in purple code:

"The First Conductor Has Risen."

Preview — Chapter 31: "Echoes of Violet"

Zeron enters a coma, but his mind drifts into the Krono Sea, where he meets past and future versions of himself.

Rest begins her attack on Spiral's council, forcing them to reveal the truth behind Violet Krono.

Zake is given a choice: betray his brother… or save Zui from Krono corruption.

The satellite's music spreads, infecting one of Spiral's cities, turning machines sentient.

And a new prophecy is discovered—one that speaks of a "child born before the first song."
