Metaverse of Mechas

📘 Chapter 107

🌿 Scene 1: Verdion-0 vs. The Ravagers of Bloomshade

The forest trembled as Verdion-0 rose to full height—its frame woven from living vines and hardened roots, glowing with green Krono.

Zui sat inside the cockpit. The interface wasn't digital—it was organic, alive, responding to her thoughts and emotions.

Outside, a horde of corrupted beasts—Ravagers, once peaceful guardians of the forest—charged. Their bodies twisted with black energy, Krono mutated and sickeningly unstable.

"Verdion," Zui whispered. "What do I do?"

"Fight," the Mecha answered. "Let your instincts flow. I will amplify them."

Zui reached out with her thoughts, and Verdion responded.

The vines shot forward, spearing through the lead Ravager and slamming it into a tree with an explosion of spores.

More came. Zui gritted her teeth.

"Come on… I'm not helpless anymore!"

Verdion roared. The earth shook. Roots erupted and dragged half the horde underground, and as Zui screamed, a shockwave of pure green Krono surged outward—burning the black corruption from the rest.

Arla, watching from a safe ridge, whispered:

"She… she synced with Verdion on her first try…"

And behind her, a man in a cloak muttered, "Just like her mother."

🪐 Scene 2: Vault Mars Protocol – Unlocked

In orbit above Mars, the ancient Vault-12X groaned to life.

Aeris, still recovering, stood aboard a stealth shuttle with a small strike team. Her AI, Sera, pinged her nervously.

"This Vault predates Earth's recorded Mecha history by 500 years. It shouldn't even exist."

"Then it's exactly where we need to be."

Inside the Vault, frost-covered corridors gave way to a towering chamber.

At the center sat a Mecha unlike anything seen before—Tenebra Omega.

Jet black. Horned. Silent.

"Why does this feel... wrong?" one soldier muttered.

Aeris stepped closer. The core pulsed.

Suddenly, her arm interface crackled and screamed.

"WARNING: Krono Interference Detected."

"From what?" she whispered.

Then she saw it: writing on the wall—in Zeron's father's handwriting.

"He was here?"

"He built it," said a voice behind her.

Yen stepped in, holding a dusty journal.

"Tenebra Omega was his final project. A Mecha designed… to kill gods."

🧊 Scene 3: Zake's Temporal Training Begins

In the rift between timelines, Zake faced three other versions of himself.

Prime Zake – his current self.Elder Zake – twenty years older, eyes full of regret.Rogue Zake – a killer from a ruined future.Spectral Zake – a spirit-like echo who'd seen the end of all things.

They surrounded him, glowing with fractured Krono.

"To fix time, you must survive it," Elder Zake said.

"And embrace your darkest self," Rogue Zake added, drawing a blade of shimmering paradox energy.

Training began.

Every attack Zake dodged taught him something. Every failure splintered him further. But in the chaos, he began to notice...

He wasn't breaking. He was becoming whole.

"This is the Krono of Time," Spectral Zake whispered. "It's yours. Take it before it takes you."

Zake screamed, and a silver-and-gold Krono burst from his core—something new, something unseen in any timeline.

🩸 Scene 4: Kael's Memory Returns

Deep in the enemy mothership, Kael Vire lay in cryo-stasis, bound in red chains.

But something stirred in his memories—images of a young boy with black hair and a kind smile.

Zeron.

"Why do I remember… him?"

He struggled. The red Krono that sealed him cracked.

And then he heard it—a soft, warm voice.

"Brother… it's time to wake up."

His eyes flew open. He shattered the stasis crystal and let out a roar so loud, the enemy vessel's systems glitched.

He was no longer just an Obscura general.

He was Zeron's older brother.

🛰️ Scene 5: The Obscura Assembly's Declaration

In orbit above Earth, hundreds of Obscura vessels emerged from hyperspace. Massive warships. Mecha carriers. Bio-horrors.

Their leader, a figure shrouded in glass armor and pulsating Krono, stepped forward on a broadcast.

"People of Kronoverse. You have stolen our gifts… abused our legacy… and forgotten your purpose."

"We are the Obscura Assembly. And we are not here to conquer."

"We are here to erase you."

The signal cut.

The skies turned red.
