Akaru and Ageru then begin their process to the final upgrade of Ardista. They will insert the crystals that are in a sync with Hana's soul inside it and see how well it will work. It sounds weird and out of my mind. But since Hana proved it just now. He didn't think it would be impossible.
Plus, Ardista Gundam is built with magic now. Not with the electricity and technology like they did before. For Akaru and Ageru, Ardista that they build right now is a power from the both worlds combined. It's a proof that technology and magic could exist together.
"Swoosh."
The engine behind of Ardista opened. Hana resonated her magic power inside the crystal that Hikari just gave to him. But when Hana transferred it, she then told Akaru and the others that she couldn't transfer her soul like what did they expected, but instead, the crystal would become something like her second vessel. Waiting for a time for her soul to arrive to awaken it. Akaru got it and with that, they then connected the crystal with Ardista.
Akaru looked at the screen and processed. A power from Hana is indeed powerful that Akaru and the others struggle to maintain. They can't make it maxed up inside Ardista or else it will destroy Ardista. But they can't just make it lower as it would cause Ardista to be unable to use its full power. Instead, they will need to make it in between. To maintain the power.
While Akaru and the others are struggling with that, Hikari then called Ai and told her to take care of it. As her ability is magic manipulation. So Ai agreed with it and tried to fix it.
Ai arrived at the repair site; she then looked at the overflowing power that came out from the crystal. It looked like it could explode at any time. I am actually surprised by that amount of power. But she then reached out her hand towards the crystal and tried to stabilize the power.
"This magic is really different. Who are you, Hana? I'm sure you're not someone ordinary if you could make something like this."
The magic burst then slowly gathered around the crystal wrapping it, and it did not spread around anymore. Ai then told Akaru to close it now, and then she looked at Hana.
"Who are you really?"
Hana saw her gaze and could see how serious Ai was about that. It is hard for her to explain it. So she then just tried to brush it off by saying "I'm who I am? What do you mean by that?" Hana smiled and laughed. Ai didn't think Hana knew about it. But at the same time, who got all of that? Because based on what Ai recorded all this time, there has never been a magician with that kind of power before.
That soul transfer spell isn't just a normal spell. But it is an improvised version of the spell that she learned. A spell of transferring the mana and vision combined. It's more like a soul transfer. But Hana never named it. Hana then asked Ai why she is so serious about it.
Ai didn't say anything. She then told Hana to respond to her question properly. Because she got a feeling Hana was hiding something from them.
Hana declined it many times but Ai still stands with her mind. She wants Hana to tell her about it. Hana then sighed and told Ai that there's nothing that she hid from her or anyone there. It's just she's been doing her best to change the world towards the direction that she wanted. She wants to save everyone and the world that they live in. That's all that she wanted. She then asked Ai if that's too much to ask for or if Ai disagreed with it?
Ai didn't say anything and she then told Akaru that everything is okay now. Maybe they can proceed now without any problem. Akaru got it and he then proceeded.
The final phase is now completed and has enough energy. They can now use Ardista in full potential. But to see the full potential of Ardista, then they might need to awaken it like the way they thought it would work. Did they need to put the test on it?
As they're thinking about that, suddenly they heard something begin to go through the defense. The ground was shaking and then they all saw a group of monsters trying to break through the defense barrier. They believe that it would be impossible, but then that was when did they saw the barrier begin to glitch. Ai looked at it and got no idea what was happening there. But one thing she knows for sure is that the thing must be dangerous. Or did they find out how to surpass the most powerful barrier in this world?
Even so, how? Plus, Ai knows that the magic won't be able to go through the barrier. But this magic is just different. Ai couldn't understand how does it works. She can't use her ability to manipulate it. Or is it an object or person that is trying to pierce through? Ai looked at it closely and he then saw a rocket-like object. She then couldn't believe her eyes.
"What is that? Why is it here?"
It looks weird but that non-magic object should be able to break the shield that blocked a magic. But to see that the object caused the shield to glitch, there must be something wrong there. Hana looked at it and by the time she saw a lot of the objects trying to pierce through the shield. Hana then told Aikari to get into Ardista and said that they're going to stop it. Aikari then without any hesitation go and get inside the Ardista control pod and get ready.
Aikari put his sword (Nefier) on his side and then got ready to launch Ardista. But the second Ardista woke up, suddenly he could hear Hana's voice. It feels like Hana is with him. Even though she is not there.
Then Aikari somehow looked at Ardia outside and heard her voice saying.
"Do your best, Aikari. You will change this world. With the power from everyone. Together."
Aikari then just smiled as he heard that and he said by his mouth "Yeah, we will change it together." Even though Ardia is outside. She responds to Aikari's words by smiling. Aikari was too shocked by it. But he then just forgot about it and focused.
As Akaru gave a good sign to Aikari and everything was prepared, Aikari then moved Ardista and stood up.
"Let's change it together, this world, Ardista."
Aikari then uses Ardista and flies to the sky. Towards the direction where the unknown creatures are.
As Ardista gets out of the kingdom sheild zone, the unknown creatures then feel it and they all then chase after Ardista. Aikari saw it and he then used Ardista's weapon and wiped some of them with it but their numbers were overwhelming and Aikari then could hear Lucien's voice saying.
"Hahahah, it's really entertaining to see how much you try hard to save the world that you created by your childhood self. You are even trying to steal my bride."
Aikari got no idea about Lucien's bride. But he then told Lucien that it doesn't matter. Lucien wants to kill the people in Quantum World and even if it means that Aikari will need to kill Lucien in the process then it doesn't matter for him. Because that is what that it needs to save this world.
Lucien laughed again and said that he would love to see Aikari try to do that. Because at the very least he could kill someone in the process. Maybe not just someone but a lot of people and that will entertain him.
Aikari couldn't believe how much cruel Lucien would be. But a world on where did the people fight with each other, but didn't want that to happen. He will stop the person who did that. Because the world that he wished for is a world on where did the people could understand each other and live in peace.
Aikari uses Ardista and flies to the sky. As he saw the unknown creatures all together to attack him in a straight formation, he then used the heavy weapon on Ardista and shot down the creatures that were coming to his way.
Again he did wipe out almost all the creatures. But that is just not enough. The creatures somehow multiplied and came towards him again. At that moment, Hana then says to Aikari.
"I have an idea. But it will take a long time. Will you be able to hold it until then?"
Aikari already has no idea how to eliminate the creature. So he then just followed Hana's idea. He told Hana to tell him about her plan, and suddenly Ardista stopped.
Aikari could feel something was happening but he wasn't sure what it is. He could see everyone from inside of Ardista. Even from afar. He could even hear their voice?
Was it their voice or was it their heart?
What is happening right now?
Aikari could see everyone through Ardista. They're all watching him and having a different thoughts. Aikari could hear it. All of those voices. It looks weird, but everyone does have a different thoughts.
He forgot about the situation that he is in now and then somehow suddenly Ardista changed its color.
Everyone who was watching from the ground saw that Ardista's red color was somehow resonating with a much brighter red color. When Akaru and Ageru saw that, they then just smiled. As they're expecting that thing to happen while the others are weird about it.
"So this is the kind of miracle that could be created from the both of them? It's interesting."
Hikari said as he was watching with them. Hirumi and Arithia, who are there, are also speechless. But other than surprised, Hirumi just wondered about the 'miracle' that Hikari mentioned. Is there actually some secret about Hana that he knows? But what kind of secret is it?
_
The creatures continue to gather and go towards Ardista. But Ardista stopped it by blasting them up using the weapon in its hand. A straight red light appeared and cut through all the creatures. Everyone was so shocked by it. It looks like by that color change, somehow Ardista has become more powerful than before. It looks like the attack got enhanced more by that transformation.
Lucien could see everything and then he said.
"Now, that chasing is kinda boring. But since I could hit two birds with one stone. Why don't we make it more interesting? Maybe with this we could create the world that we wanted, my love."
When Hana heard that, she couldn't help but feel disgusted by it. Hana's illusion then appeared in front of Aikari and she said, "You know what, I never belong to you. It is someone else. So just give it up!" Hana turned towards Aikari and she then flushed red as she turned back towards the creatures that were forming something. Lucien could hear Hana's voice and know that Hana was talking to him.
For him, it doesn't matter what does Hana says. Because at the end of everything, his plan will succeed.Lucien's creature successfully merged and became another mecha like Ardista. But then within a seconds, Ardista's red color then resonated with the purple color. The time everyone saw that, they all then reminded themselves of Hana's eyes color. Purple on the right and red on the left. Are those colors on Ardista? Does it show everyone about Hana's heart?
But even with all that transformation, the creatures are still going after Ardista. Ardista then began to move and everyone saw that its movement was enhanced. It is much faster than before. Lucien was so shocked by that. His creature arm just got cut easily by Ardista.
Then within a seconds, Ardista turned around and then cut the body and the waist. And again with a quick movement, Ardista aimed its weapon at the creature and blast it off. With that, the creature got destroyed. Now that everything is gone.
"BOOM!"
Everything within their sight is gone and it is just Ardista who is still there. Everyone was so glad as they saw that, then without even any communication device, Akaru told Aikari that everything was done. So he can go down for now.
Aikari got it, but by the time he tried to fly down, suddenly his vision again changed. Everything just be the white space. He talked by himself.
"What is this?"
Then Aikari could see Hana was approaching him. She then told Aikari that this white blank space is considered something like a space between their minds and Hana thinks that it was for the others too. That's why Aikari could hear a voice from the others even though they never talked.
Hana goes next to Aikari and then she tells Aikari that there's something are approaching them but she wasn't sure what it is. Aikari got it and he then became aware of it.
