Chapter 36:

Demons Arrival (3/3)

The Zypher: The Four Season


"Now it's your turn to join your friends!" Macro used his telekinesis ability and threw Erika off the edge and into a pool of liquid nitrogen, she shivered as her body started to freeze, she couldn't move her eyes but she knew that her soul was trapped in the ice, "it's time to wake up!" Erika woke up as she was freed by the ice, she looked up and found Chrysler and Shiva rescued along with Quantyan, "Quantyan? (Sighs with relief) it's good to see you old friend!" She hugged Quantyan and he hugged her back, "it's good to see you again Astria, and it's nice that I could take a nice vacation on the ice." Erika was confused about what he just said, "I thought you came here to wait until the Lost Child would set you free." Quantyan denied it and told Erika, "I only came to this planet because Macro knew the Lost Child's Identity."

"But then... Wait... Who set us free?" Quantyan pointed at a boy who had his mask on, he turned to Erika and hugged her, " it's great to see you again Doc!" Erika realised something, "the only person that ever called me 'Doc' was..." He took off his mask and revealed his face, "it's me!" Erika hugged Cal as she was surprised by how he was different, " oh my God, your voice is more like a broken horn! Cal... I never thought you were alive." Cal smiled and said, "nine lives baby!" Erika gave Cal that 'don't push it' look and asked where he was all this time, "15 years after the incident and I was unable to get over it, I took a job in Bêydia to make ends meat and then I found myself having to survive after some goonies destroyed the planet, I had to go from planet to planet only to find myself in Necrozma for a month before finding you."

"Wait! You said 15 years, it's only been 6 years for me... Right?" Cal told Erika that she would have been stuck on the ice for more than 9 years, "9 years? That's incredible with what these ice can do!" Cal assured Erika that it wasn't, "who knows what could have happened? If you were to stay there longer then it could affect your health in a way... I mean Quantyan might not survive at all." He made a good point but he forgot one thing, "the only slows the ageing process... Not the person themselves..." Erika realised that her body could fail at any moment. "Not that I want to disrupt this reunion but we need to find the remaining two, Erin Cephalic and Macro Error... They are the last two and I'm thinking that Erin could be the Lost Child... In a way that Cal represents Acceptance, I represent Patience, Erika represents Indignance, Macro would be representing Regret while Erin is Creation... We find them then we have the chosen that will stop the Myst." Erika felt like she heard it before but she couldn't remember where.

"The Myst is a being that makes the millions of galaxies that reside in our universe, he needs five crystals to reemerge and it turns out that the Order had a hold of one of the five crystals, the attack was to retrieve and leave no prisoners... That's the reason they attacked and destroyed the Order." Erika and Azriel were surprised by how Cal knew about this being. "I found out by the data units that were almost destroyed in Azzam's lab."

"If that's the case then they would have gone for the brotherhood correct?" Erika told Azriel that it wasnt possible, "We haven't come into contact with the Ravens for more than 15 millennia, it would be a miracle if we were to find them." They looked at Erika in how she would even know this, "I say this because we have definitive proof of their existence yet alone their survival." Chrysler had some bad news for them, "I was lucky to find Erin, hes in the city of Zyber that's taken control by Macro." Cal eyes turned green and shouted, "THATS NOT ME!!!" Erika and Azriel were surprised to what their eyes were showing them, "Macro... you're... in Cal's... but how?" Macro couldn't explain it yet, "I promise I'll tell you soon but right now, my connection to Cal's body is weakening and I need to get my body back as soon as possible."

"It will take us a few weeks for us to get to Zyber but..." Erika told Chrysler and Shiva, "no! You two need to get to Necrozma... Cal, will they be safe in Necrozma?" Cal told her, "Thankfully, I fixed the system and it should be working, but the bad news is that if we were to return then our signal could be given to a random satellite... and knowing this galaxy, theres only 2 that use satellites... the Unified Intelligence Cooperation or the ones that destroyed the Order... I suggest they stay with us until I have enough energy to disable any signals launching into the galaxy... the idiot that designed this..." Azzam looked at Cal, "I thought you designed it..." Cal looked at everyone and his only words were, "well... I am an idiot."
