Metaverse of Mechas

📘 Chapter 57

⚙️ Scene 1: Journey to Kairovault

Three days passed.

The air was thicker. Global Krono flow was acting strangely.

After defeating Oblivir and escaping Sector Null, Zeron, Zui, and Ivy journeyed toward a region long erased from maps:

Kairovault — an ancient subterranean archive where the original Mecha blueprints were said to be stored. It was built before the Writer's dominion, buried beneath ten thousand layers of encrypted terrain and false histories.

Ivy: "If the rumors are true, Kairovault holds the Origin Reels—recordings of events the Writer tried to erase."

As they descended in the stealth carrier "NEXUS-WING", the Earth's curvature disappeared—time and space began to ripple around them.

🌀 Scene 2: The Guardians of Truth — Cipher Sisters

At the threshold of Kairovault stood two motionless figures.

Silver-armored, faces masked by rotating code rings.

They were the Cipher Sisters, ageless gatekeepers of forgotten records.

One held a blade. The other a book.

Cipher One: "Knowledge comes at the price of self."

Cipher Two: "To remember is to bleed."

To gain access, each team member had to offer a memory—one they would permanently lose.

Zui stepped up first.

She chose her 11th birthday.

The last time she saw her father's smile.

Tears rolled down her cheeks.

"I don't need the smile. I need the truth."

The Cipher Sisters bowed.

The vault opened.

📼 Scene 3: The Origin Reels

Inside, rotating memory crystals pulsed in synchronized light.

Ivy connected them to her AI interface.

The Origin Reels began to play.

They watched in awe:

A world before Krono.Scientists experimenting with thought-powered mechs.Then… Project Purple, a classified program by the Global Mecha Authority.

And there:

Zeron's mother.

Dr. Liora Vael, the lead developer of Project Purple.

"The body can't handle the Krono strain. But if a child is born aligned with it—"

The tape glitched.

Suddenly: chaos.

The Writer appeared in the footage—not as a being, but as a force of data corruption.

He erased files, turned allies into agents, rewrote events.

"He rewrote history," Zeron whispered.

"No," Ivy said. "He is history now."

🧬 Scene 4: The Blueprint of the Forbidden

They reached the final chamber.

There, engraved in radiant violet lines:

Blueprint: Aetherion - The Mecha of All Timelines

Aetherion was the only known mecha capable of syncing with Echo Krono.

Parts of it were mythical:

Core made of compressed paradox.A cockpit forged from erased destinies.Weapons that never existed... until summoned.

Zeron touched the blueprint.

His Krono flared.

The ground trembled.

🌑 Scene 5: The Moon Corruption Begins

Far above Earth, unnoticed for years, the moon began to twist.

Its craters darkened into ink.

The Writer had begun the next phase—corrupting Earth's moon to broadcast falsified memories across the planet.

Already, people began to forget their own names.

Cities believed they never existed.

Ivy: "He's trying to overwrite the world."

Zeron: "Then we build the one weapon he can't predict."

🛠️ Scene 6: Plans of Resistance

The team left Kairovault with:

The Aetherion blueprint.A shard of the Writer's original code.A restored message from Zeron's mother:

"Zeron... if you're hearing this, then my theories worked. You were born not to fight—but to remember. You are the anchor."

Back at the rebel base, Ivy began designing the Aetherion's skeleton.

Zui gathered volunteers.

Zake, through a hacked school interface, began sending encrypted Krono surges to power stations.

The resistance... was forming.

💔 Scene 7: The Fade

That night, Zeron stood on the balcony.

A hand touched his shoulder.

It was Rhia, his former girlfriend.

"I came to see if the rumors were true."

Zeron didn't reply.

She stepped closer.

"You've changed."

"We all have."

She hesitated.

"Do you still—"

"No," he said gently. "But I remember why I once did. And that's enough."

She left silently.

From the shadows, Zui's best friend Eliya watched.

And smiled.
