Amidst the chaos and destruction, Aponia clutches the child tightly in her arms and makes a frantic dash back toward the safety of the nearby shelter or church. The weight of the situation weighs heavily on her mind as she races against time.
Meanwhile, inside the shelter, Elysia, Yae Sakura, and Kalpass anxiously await Aponia's return, seeking refuge from the mayhem unfolding outside.
In this tense atmosphere, Kalpass's face contorts with a mix of confusion and anger as he locks eyes with Elysia. His voice carries a hint of frustration as he demands an explanation, "What do you mean by scouting?"
Elysia, undeterred by Kalpass's building rage, responds with a playful smile and a light-hearted giggle. "Hey, it's okay if you're curious," she says, gesturing toward the shelter. "The children will be safe in there."
Her cheerful demeanor masks the concerns brewing within Kalpass, who dismisses the notion of safety with a profanity-laced retort. "Screw your safety! Listen here! I'll wipe that annoying smile off your face!"
Yae Sakura tenses up, readying her katana for action, but Elysia swiftly intervenes, placing a hand on Sakura's arm, signaling her to stand down. Elysia's smile remains unflinching, seemingly unaffected by Kalpass's venomous words.
With her hand still extended, Elysia continues to address Kalpass, radiating confidence in her words. "We possess a means to cure them all, and by 'all,' I mean every single one of them."
Her unwavering optimism shines through as she maintains her cheerful outlook, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.
Sakura, bewildered by the revelation, verbalizes her thoughts, "Could it truly be possible? But how?"
Aware of her limited scientific knowledge, Sakura ponders whether Dr. Mei, a renowned figure in Honkai research, could have made a breakthrough. However, Elysia's thoughts diverge from Sakura's assumptions.
Yet, Elysia's true intentions remain uncertain.
Meanwhile, Kalpass seethes with rage, though he chooses to remain silent for the time being, contemplating the situation at hand.
Suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps resonates in the distance, growing louder with each passing moment. The source becomes apparent as a woman dressed in a provocative nun attire emerges, cradling the child in her arms.
It's none other than Aponia.
Confusion etches across Aponia's face as she addresses the gathering, "What? What? What happened here?"
Elysia's cheerful smile widens as she approaches Aponia, undeterred by the confusion on Aponia's face. "Oh, goodie, you're here too!" she exclaims with enthusiasm.
Extending her arm towards Aponia, Elysia continues, "I would like to scout you too!"
Aponia gazes at Elysia, her expression blank, as she stands motionless with the child cradled in her arms. "Eh?" she responds, her voice tinged with surprise and a hint of skepticism.
With a warm smile, Elysia extends her arm, radiating cheerfulness. Yae Sakura, taken aback by the unexpected presence of not just one, but two people, is left bewildered. Uncertain of how to proceed, she abandons her defensive stance and sheathes her katana. Meanwhile, Kalpass remains stoic, his serious demeanor unyielding even behind his mask. He stands there, arms crossed, deep in thought. Despite Elysia's offer to scout for her, he remains silent, withholding his decision for now. As Elysia recalls her encounter with Aeon, her towering golden mechanical uncle, she maintains her bright smile, cherishing the memories of their conversation before bidding farewell and returning to the MOTH base in Sundown Alley.
Flashback
In the flashback, Aeon's deep, mechanical voice resonates, catching Elysia's attention. "Oh, and another thing, Elysia..." he begins, causing her to turn around with a curious expression. "Hm? What is it, uncle?" she inquires, tilting her head and facing him fully.
Aeon's gears hum and turn as he locks eyes with Elysia, his red mechanical eyes piercing. He speaks, his voice accompanied by the clicking sounds of his moving mechanisms. "There is a person I would like for you to scout," he starts, pausing momentarily before continuing, "On second thought, there are two people I would like for you to scout..."
Elysia, intrigued, ponders the significance of her robot uncle's request, tilting her head in anticipation.
"Hmm?" she responds, her curiosity growing.
Aeon's red mechanical eyes hold her gaze as his gears click and turn. "I would like to bring two people into the MOTH base in Sundown Alley," he explains. Aeon's tone carries a hint of amusement, even without a visible smirk due to not having a mouth. "One is a hot-headed man named Kalpass, who resides in a church turned shelter for the Honkai-infected children and adults."
As Aeon's words take effect, Elysia's eyes grow wide. She can't help but be filled with curiosity and eagerness as she cutely smiles.
Continuing his explanation, Aeon reveals the second person of interest. "This is where the second person comes in; she would be valuable to the MOTH base you are working in, Little Ely," he says, his words resonating in her mind. "Her name is Aponia, and I have a feeling you will like her when you see her."
Present
Returning to the present, Elysia's thoughts reflect on her previous lack of understanding regarding Aeon's comment. However, as she gazes upon Aponia now, it all becomes clear.
"Oh my god, she is so pretty!" Elysia exclaims silently in her thoughts, her excitement building.
Aponia, startled by Elysia's intense gaze, feels hesitant and clutches the child in her arms tighter. Elysia quickly regains her composure, blushing slightly, and senses the trembling ground, just like Yae Sakura, Kalpass, and Aponia.
They all turn their attention towards the source of the destruction. Bullets rain down from the sky as Aeon, the giant golden mechanical robot, engages in a head-on battle with the Herrescher of Ice, his P90s blazing with fury in the distance.
Squinting her eyes, Sakura recognizes the colossal mechanical figure and experiences a sense of familiarity, although she cannot explain why or how she knows it. Unbeknownst to her, it is the same robot that thwarted Sakura's "cleaning" attempt at the shelter, its red mechanical eyes and foggy silhouette etched in her memory. Yet, she remains unaware of their connection.
A bullet narrowly misses them, crashing onto the ground, but fortunately causing no harm.
However, Aponia gazes upon the devastation with sadness in her eyes. Seizing the moment, Elysia extends her hand once again, her smile widening just a little. She speaks to Aponia with earnestness, "Aponia, if you join MOTH with Kalpass, the children will be safe," emphasizing the importance of her offer. "And we can help to cure them."
The concept of a cure bewilders Aponia. Why would there be a cure? This shouldn't be possible. As someone who knows the future and its impending despair, she is skeptical. Aponia's thoughts halt momentarily as she tries to comprehend the situation.
Using her future sight and ability, she tries to gain insight, but all she sees is a vivid yet chaotic static of multiple visions. Confusion takes hold as she questions what transpired. Why does the future suddenly hold so many possibilities?
Amidst the uncertainty, Aponia clings tightly to the child, who continues to cry in her arms. She looks at Elysia, her eyes reflecting a mix of despair and a glimmer of hope. Elysia, undeterred, maintains her cheerful smile.
Yae Sakura, sensing the approaching Honkai beasts, adopts a serious demeanor. She suggests, "I think we should go."
Kalpass clicks his tongue and snarls, "Tch! I'm going to beat these creatures!" Despite wearing a mask, his expression conveys his disdain as he prepares to confront the Honkai beasts through his body language.
Meanwhile, Aponia's gaze remains fixed on Elysia, who smiles and says, "Well, Miss Aponia?"
In a brief moment, time seems to slow down, and a Honkai Beast—a Chariot—approaches Aponia from behind, its large arms resembling those of a gorilla and a floating purple crystal ball serving as its head. The creature, pure white with Honkai Energy emanating from the ends of its scarf-like fins, poses a threat to both Aponia and the child in her arms.
In that split second, Aponia's lifeless eyes flicker with renewed vigor. She declares, "I agree to your offer," not fully comprehending its implications. Encouraged by the pink-haired girl's mention of a cure and witnessing the shifting future from her abilities, Aponia realizes this might be the opportunity she cannot afford to waste—for the people, especially the children.
With a cheerful smile, Elysia retrieves her Honkai bow, a simple one for now, not yet the iconic crystal bow. She draws a Honkai-imbued arrow and shoots it, piercing the crystal ball on the Chariot's head. The beast crashes to the ground with a resounding thud as time returns to normal speed.
Giggling, Elysia looks at Yae Sakura and says, "Help me take the children, Sakura."
Sakura nods, feeling that her initial objective has become irrelevant in light of these sudden turn of events. She believes this course of action is far better than harming the children.
(Author: I just cant help the fact Aponia still holding a random child with her, that's just stupid, oh wait, I'm the one that writes it (ಥ﹏ಥ), lets just say the child's parents died by the honkai beast)
Elysia Leads the Charge as Sakura, Kalpass, and Aponia run towards the shelter to grab the people inside for safety.
Elysia presses a comm-link on her ear and speaks, "Get the Carrier ready. Location in Sundown Alley, Specifically a church."
A woman on the other side of the earpiece saying "ryokai!" typically means Roger or understood.
As Elysia smiled after the reinforcements arrived, she then made a realization face as she almost forgot the other person to scout. As they all ran, Elysia turned her head a little to look at Kalpass and smiled.
She says, "Oh right! I almost forgot! Kalpass! You should join too!" She smiles cheerfully and giggles cutely as she looks at Kalpass.
However, Kalpass did not like that, and as he runs, he quickly yells and points his finger at Elysia as he says, "OI?!? I DIDNT ACCEPT IT! I DONT WANT TO WORK FOR ANYONE ELSE YOU LITTL-"
But Aponia Smacks his head as she carries the child with one arm as she runs besides Kalpass, and she says, "Don't speak like that. You have to join too, you know."
Kalpass scratches his head and turns angrily at Aponia, growling and saying, "You don't tell me what to do, you Old hag!"
Aponia smacks his head again and Looks at his eyes with her dead and Lifeless eyes with a glare and an offended look and speaks, "Don't talk to me like that." She then changes her tone into a more serious tone and says, Please." She activates her power; it's not Discipline, it's not powerful, but it still works and influences him, and Aponia continues and says, "For the Kids in the shelter."
Kalpass is just screaming in rage and groans, and while he keeps running, he turns his head at Aponia, points his finger at her this time, and says, "Alright! Alright!" He grumbles and mumbles as they continue running.
Back at Aeon, Herrscher of Ice is currently engaged in combat with her army of Honkai Beasts.
Four frost catapults are firing their ice balls directly at Aeon as he watches five chariots approaching from all sides.
He is not the same child who now explores the world, crafts with clay using Red Archives to look for materials nearby, and finds supplies in the wild forest; he is not the same child who was in a destroyed state after a battle against the Honkai beasts and a broken base when he first arrived in this world. He has excellent reflexes and 26 years of experience living in this Honkai-impact third world.
He is a man.
No
He is Aeon.
The Golden, Husk Nihilius
And he is prepared to alter the course of every life on Earth.
He takes out his dual P90s, holds one in each hand, and points them at the five Chariots in front of him as his mechanical eyes examine each one of them. The triggers are being held by his mechanical fingers.
"I have dealt worse," he remarked in an imposing voice.
In order to make enormous holes owing to the size of the bullets, he sprayed the bullets on all five of the chariots as they were being penetrated. He then hurled the flying bullets right through. Additionally, he observed the first balls in the air approaching him.
The mechanical golden robot body of Aeon swiftly moves the gears and draws his sword. In order to swing his sword like a bat, he changes his posture, expands his legs a little, elevates his blade, and then flips it over to its blunt side.
Aeon swings all five of the ice balls at once, sending them bouncing back in the direction of the five catapults. The five frost balls detonated as soon as they made contact with the ground, turning enormous pieces of ice into pillars that the catapults swallowed.
As Aeon relentlessly fights off the oncoming Archangels, their numbers increasing rapidly, he remains unfazed. The small flying creatures, each adorned with two wings on their back and a halo, radiate pure white with purple particles trailing from the ends of their wings and halos.
Cranking his machinery loudly, Aeon speaks in a low, monotonous voice, "Well, that's quite the sudden number increase."
He continues to shoot with his P90s, directing his gunfire in all directions without concern. Some Archangels manage to get closer, but Aeon pays them no mind. His red mechanical eyes flash with intensity as he forcefully clashes both of his mechanical fists together, displaying his formidable stature. Standing at 4.2 meters tall, his golden mechanical body brims with swiftly rotating gears.
Thirty Archangels approach from the sides, with 15 on the right and another 15 on the left. Aeon swiftly pulls out his P90s, maintaining a continuous barrage of fire. As ten Archangels close in from the front, he instinctively draws his sword and swings, dispatching three of them with a single thrust. He then executes a cross-cut, striking down the remaining three.
Realizing that his draw cuts were ineffective, Aeon adjusts his grip on the sword and delivers a powerful backhand strike, followed by a counterattack with a technique known as half-swording. Spotting four more Archangels in his vicinity, he tightens his grip on the sword and performs a flourish, swiftly followed by a spin attack.
From a distance, the Herrscher of Ice relentlessly summons more ice pillars to rain down upon Aeon. However, their efforts prove futile, as Aeon remains resolute. Gritting her teeth, the Herrscher speaks with disdain in her voice, "You Despicable, INSECT!"
Ice pillars, resembling skyscrapers in size, continue to descend towards Aeon. Squinting his eyes, Aeon glares at the impending threat. He tightly grips his sword and assumes an offensive stance.
The Herrscher of Ice, taken aback by Aeon's determined posture, becomes momentarily confused. She hadn't anticipated such a response from him.
Without hesitation, Aeon charges forward, leaping towards the first ice pillar. With a swift motion, he cleaves it in half, sending shards of ice cascading downward. In one fluid motion, he proceeds to execute a horizontal cut, slicing through the second pillar. With controlled precision, he lands back on the ground.
Immediately, Aeon retrieves his P90s, his mechanical arms emitting cranking sounds as his gears and joints spring into motion. Taking aim at the remaining large ice pillars, he unleashes a barrage of bullets, each shot finding its mark and shattering the ice. Bullet after bullet, the ice pillars diminish, disintegrating piece by piece until nothing remains, dissipating before they even touch the ground.
The Herscher of Ice becomes angrier by the second. She was halted by golden chains that appeared from the ground just as she was ready to shower down another wave of ice. The Herscher of Ice is shocked because she hadn't anticipated this. Herscher of Ice's movements are gradually becoming more limited as the Golden chains continue to wrap around her body and tighten their hold. She struggles to break free but realizes that her strength is ebbing away, making it impossible for her to stay in the air for very long. She then gently falls to the ground.
Herscher hears the mechanical legs of Aeon as he approaches, carrying his body weight on his enormous legs.
And something else.
The Herscher of Ice was obscured by Aeon's shadow as he drew nearer, and once he was within striking distance. The Herscher of Ice slowly looked up with a grimace on her face and a look of perplexity on her face as she saw Aeon, who was lifting his arms and wielding a massive...
Gold Cross?
*BAM!*
The Herscher is still bound by the chain but is in the Crater coughing after Aeon swings His Giant Oath of Judah with the arms of the cross like a hammer.
The Herrscher of Ice slowly altered her expression from rage to fear as Aeon raised the Cross once more.
And Aeon Swings again...
And again…
And again…
And again…
And again…

2 hours later...
"Stop… please….. please.."
All four of the Herscher's limbs were severed and crushed by the swings from the Oath of Judah, leaving a severely injured torso and head. There was blood all over the place from the savage beating the Herscher received.
Herscher cries and screams in pain, screaming over and over again as she pleads with the anguish to end.
He didn't exhibit any sorrow, and Aeon pulled his P90 and pointed it back at the Herscher and demanded. However, for Aeon, who has spent 26 years in this world, his mechanical heart, if he has one, hardened.
Aeon glares with mechanical crimson eyes, "Have you shown remorse for killing?"
Herscher, though, remained silent for a minute and continued to sob before speaking slowly and haltingly.
"I..i. Im sor-"
*BAM!*
The Herscher of Ice's surviving body was instantly destroyed when Aeon drew the trigger. Aeon's massive, powerful Mechanical body was untouched by the Herscher of Ice's explosion into a wide area of snow after blowing up her body.
The Herscher died, leaving its core, a Herscher of Ice, lying on the ground in the crater where the body of the Herscher of Ice had stood.
Following the storage of his SMG, Aeon says, "I don't think so, after all..."
After his battle, Aeon pauses briefly and takes a minute to survey the devastated area. observing the once-called "sundown alley," which is now filled with death and destruction, buildings that have all been destroyed, dead bodies, some of which have turned into honkai zombies.
"Anyway, there is already proof," Aeon says.
And so the Herscher of Ice, the first Herscher he fought in such a brutal manner, Died.
But it comes with a consequence.
This Error..
Will not be silenced...
By Finality…
To be continued...
