đź“– Omega Reawakens
One location pinged.
Not coordinates. Not a place.
But a sound. A heartbeat in code.

🧠Mission Start – Digital Dive
Liam syncs Nova to the Helix Echo Drive, a prototype system originally built to store dying minds.
If her fragment is stored there,he says, you'll need to retrieve it before Ghost corrupts it permanently.
Nova suits up. The world slows.
And she dives in.
Straight into Aria's last memory core.

🧬 Inside Aria's Heart
It's not just data.
It's a garden.
Broken memories of Aria walking barefoot on grass. A mother humming. Her childhood. The first time she saw Omega. The first time she became Omega.
These… are her peace,Nova whispered.
But the deeper she goes, the darker it gets.
Screams. Chains. The final fight with Genesis. And then—
LIAM, YOU NEED TO PULL ME OUT!
Too late.

GHOST appears.
But he's not alone anymore.
You took too long.
Behind him: a corrupted version of Aria.
Face blank. Eyes glowing red.
A puppet made of her deepest traumas.
What… what did you do to her? Nova gasps.
I didn't create her, GHOST says.
You did every time you doubted who you were… she grew stronger.

🔥 Battle for the Fragment
Nova runs toward the core — a glowing crystal of pure data.
Aria's red-eyed clone blocks her path.
You can't erase me,it hisses.
I am your fear.
Nova closes her eyes.
Then I face you
She charges, dodging memory blades, deflecting echo screams — and grabs the core fragment.
For a split second, she sees everything:
Aria's death.
Omega's pain.
The truth about Liam's betrayal…
He saved her… by killing the part of her that loved him.

🩸 Back to Reality
Nova collapses into Liam's arms, core fragment clutched in her hand.
Eyes filled with tears.
She loved you till the end,Nova whispers.
Even when she thought you killed her.
Liam flinches.
I did it to save her…
Now you'll have to finish what she started,Nova says.
---
Somewhere in the corrupted network…
GHOST watches.
She found it,he mutters.
Let her think she's winning.
Because when she restores Aria…
She'll set me free.
