Metaverse of Mechas

📘 Chapter 79

🧬 Scene 1: AURA's Revelation

Location: Project Z Genesis Vault — Subterranean Echo Core

Zake stares at AURA, the ethereal AI shaped like a silver wisp of light.

AURA: "I was designed by Project Echo Soul to awaken only when Zui's DNA signature returned to resonance… and it has."

Zake demands answers. Why is his name linked to this? Why is his sister the core of all this?

AURA displays a holographic sequence—memories spliced from encrypted data.

Zake sees himself as a toddler, Zui holding his hand.

But in the background?

A lab.

Scientists watching.

The same Nullion crest he saw in Serin's memory.

AURA: "You and your sister were part of the initial Krono Catalyst experiment. You are not users of Krono, Zake. You are generators."

Zake drops to his knees.

Zake (shaken): "You mean… we were never normal?"

AURA: "You were never meant to be."

🕵️ Scene 2: Serin's Truth

Serin wakes in a recovery chamber with Zeron nearby. Weak, but conscious.

She touches his face.

Serin: "They built me to be your spy, Zeron. They planned it from the beginning. I was implanted with neural anchors to keep me close… to keep me useful."

Zeron's heart sinks.

Zeron: "And now?"

Serin (smiling sadly): "Now I broke free… for you."

She hands him a memory shard.

Inside: a recording of Zui from years ago, whispering into a terminal.

Zui (recorded): "If anything happens to me… if I forget who I am… remind them. Remind my brothers that they were always more than experiments. We were the cure."

👁️ Scene 3: Enemy Within

At Guild HQ, a Council meeting erupts into chaos.

A hologram displays: Zeron's face marked as a Class-S Defector.

Councilwoman Vale: "He has Purple Krono. If he chooses rebellion, we all fall."

Someone placed a Guild-wide bounty on Zeron—dead or alive.

But who?

The file is locked—accessed only by a clearance code tied to…

Director Halberd.

Except Halberd is in hiding.

The real shock?

Zeron's former girlfriend—Lyra—is seen in the security logs entering the file room before the bounty appeared.

Zeron (quietly): "So she chose their side."

🌌 Scene 4: A Message from the Stars

That night, a hidden beacon activates in Zeron's room.

A hologram flickers—not robotic, not digital.

It's a memory transmission, carried by the alien signal.

A woman appears.

Gentle voice.

Familiar smile.

Woman: "Zeron… if you're hearing this… it means they've come. And you've awakened."

His mother.

Mother: "You are more than Krono. You are part of something older… from Zethron. The last key. The last protector."

Zeron: "Zethron…?"

She ends the message with a warning.

Mother: "Do not trust the ones closest to the tower. Especially the man who hides behind a mask of order."

☄️ Scene 5: The First Alien Arrival

Across the sky, a meteor-like object enters Earth's atmosphere—hovering above Sector-3.

But it's no meteor.

It's a pod—ancient, metallic, glowing with runes not native to Earth.

It opens slowly… revealing a humanoid being, cloaked in obsidian armor, with glowing crimson Krono veins.

It speaks in Zethronian.

Stranger: "The Key has awakened. The Harvest must begin."
