Metaverse of Mechas

Chapter 43: : The Unwritten Score



πŸ“˜ Chapter 43

🎻 Scene 1: Prelude of Echoes

Zeron sat beneath the shattered dome of the Aria Vessel's control core, his hand trembling over the ancient Conduct Pad β€” a relic from the forgotten Sonic Age, etched with symphonic runes.

"It's trying to speak," he murmured.

No one else heard it.

But Zeron didn't hear with ears anymore β€” he felt through Krono.

The Second Verse was emerging.

But unlike the First, this wasn't melodic or harmonic.

It was chaotic.

Unwritten.

Like it didn't come from the world β€” but rather from outside it.

"Zeron," Aina whispered, stepping beside him. "This… it doesn't sound like us."

"It's not," he replied. "This score wasn't written. It was... born."

πŸ“œ Scene 2: Spiral's Hidden Base β€” Archive Zero

In the frostbitten ruins of the ancient tundra, Ivy led a stealth team toward Archive Zero β€” a concealed Spiral outpost so secret even its location had been wiped from official records.

The only reason she found it was the last line in Sareth Kael's journal:

"Everything ends where the cold sings."

Inside, the facility was untouched.

Clean.

Like someone still maintained it.

And deep in the center chamber, Ivy found it β€” a stasis tank holding a strange humanoid creature, wired into thousands of Krono threads.

On the wall behind it: "Subject: Alpha Harmonic β€” Creator of Verse."

"What the hell did Spiral create...?"

Suddenly, the creature's eyes opened.

And the music stopped.

Literally.

Ivy's earpiece fell silent. Her pulse stuttered. Even her breathing paused.

The Unwritten Score had awakened.

πŸŒ’ Scene 3: Moonwreck Sanctuary β€” The Bleeding Orbit

Zake and Rest rode a stolen Void Sled toward the Moonwreck Sanctuary, an old Lunar base orbiting the planet in pieces β€” shattered by the first alien invasion 200 years ago.

Rumor said that the dead from that battle still drifted there, trapped in silence.

The plan: retrieve a lost Harmonic Modulator, one of the only tools that can rewrite the mecha-music code in combat.

But the Sanctuary had changed.

Inside, bodies floated weightlessly.

Still intact.

Still dressed in old uniforms.

"They're not decomposing," Rest said. "That's not possible."

"They're not dead," Zake replied. "They're paused."

The moment he touched the Modulator, the bodies twitched.

Not zombies.

Not machines.

But frozen rhythms, restarting.

And one whispered, through a gurgle of memory:

"He must not sing the Third Verse…"

🎢 Scene 4: The Second Verse Begins

Back at Aria, Zeron finally touched the corepad.

The world didn't shake.

It bent.

Reality twisted like a warped audio file, glitching between moments.

He heard:

His mother crying.Aina laughing in reverse.Ivy screaming names of people Zeron didn't know… yet.

And then, silence.

Followed by a single note.

So loud it made glass melt.

His Mecha, Altherion, responded β€” now cloaked in unstable purple sparks β€” as the Second Verse surged through it.

"Zeron," Aina said. "Your mecha's… singing."

It wasn't a battle mode.

It was a warning.

Because in that moment, the sky split open.

And from it came the Mute Titans.

πŸͺ“ Scene 5: Mute Titans Descend

They were colossal.

Vast humanoid shapes, faceless and smooth, made of untextured code.

Like unfinished models in a simulation.

They didn't fall.

They deleted space beneath them, inch by inch, pixel by pixel.

Every mecha they passed shut down.

Every power system crashed.

One looked at Ivy from across the planet β€” and her Krono turned white, flickering dangerously.

"They're not erasing us," Ivy said. "They're erasing reality's memory of us."

One Titan raised its arm.

Altherion stepped forward.

And Zeron began to sing the Second Verse backward.

The world rippled.

The Titans paused.

And for the first time in a thousand years, one of them spoke:

"He has found the Unwritten. The Verse must not continue."

πŸ”š Preview β€” Chapter 44: Memory of the Mute

Zeron's backwards song unlocks a sealed zone of reality β€” where erased history lives.

Ivy meets a version of herself that should not exist.

Zake and Rest discover what truly happened in the Moonwreck War.

Aina's visions lead her to a cave where time has stopped β€” and inside is her future self.
