“Get me a status update!” Odessa commanded. She was having difficulty communicating with the SDF who were fighting above to stop the Soul Eaters from reaching Loreon’s surface.
“I still can’t establish a connection.” the soldier reported.
“Well keep trying. Lieutenant Starbuck, do you have any idea why this is happening?” Odessa said addressing Lisa.
“Warlic and the others reported that EbilCorp was working with the Soul Eaters. I suspect Kabroz is having our communications jammed.”
“Speaking of Warlic and Admiral Starbuck...where have they gone?”
“I have no idea. They appeared here briefly and left just as quickly. They took Zorbak with them for some reason too...”
GEARS University
“It is just as we feared isn’t it, Dean Denara?” Warlic asked.
“I am afraid so. The signs of the end of our times are here.”
“The apocalypse?” Starbuck asked.
“Not the apocalypse.” Warlic responded. “It is the end of our times. A beginning of a new age. It doesn’t necessarily evolve our destruction...but rather, a transformation.”
“Into what?” Starbuck asked.
Zorbak laughed. “Mehehe. It doesn’t really matter. The Soul Eaters are going to reach us and then destroy us.”
“The Soul Eaters...they act as a sign according to this research.” Maria reported. “They aren’t the end, but a sign of it.”
“I suggest you speak to each individual House leader to gather the information firsthand. I am afraid my reports aren’t truly accurate.” Denara apologized.
Warlic nodded and the group left.
House WolfBlade
“After the destruction of the shadows, the warrior will be scattered. When the warrior returns, they will face the threat of the soul destroyers. When the shadows rise again, the warrior will have returned to the light. From the light, the warrior will fight the soul destroyers. Upon their destruction, they will seek to restore the thief. Through this the warrior will ascend to the level of a god and lead the world into the new era.”
House RuneHawk
“When the shadows are delayed, the mage will return into its element. After the mage’s resurrection, the shadows will rise again. The mage will oppose the shadows until they are destroyed and will then seek to restore the thief. The mage will learn its true purpose in this world and prepare the world for the new era.”
House MystRaven
“The thief will fight the shadows along with the others, but he will receive his punishment. He will be stolen by the shadows again. When he is freed by his companions, the thief will then steal what is left of the world. A new era will begin.”
Soluna City, Plaza
“What does it all mean?” Maria asked. “These prophecies refer to the Shadowscythe clearly as well as the Soul Eaters, but the last portions are odd. They both involve restoring a thief.”
“They couldn’t possibly mean restoring Omicron.” Starbuck said. “He wasn’t a thief. However...his life was stolen by Valoth.”
“Mehehe.” Zorbak laughed. “The warrior becomes a god for the new age, the mage learns its purpose, and the thief is the very one to actually bring the new age in. That means our true enemy would be Omicron.”
“Unless he is our savior.” Warlic said smiling. “The new age may be bad or good. We will not know.”
“Warlic, there is something that is bothering me...” Maria said.
“Yes?”
“Why have we only just heard of these prophecies? They seem to be rather important.”
“Ah. Well you see...they have been locked away until now.”
“Locked away?”
“Yes. The WolfBlade sealed in the stone? Today it was lifted into the air by an unknown force and a letter was found. The RuneHawk’s Drakylon Cube exploded and revealed its letter. And the MystRaven door opened to reveal a stone wall...with its text written upon it.”
“Where did these artifacts come from?” Starbuck asked. “This is all sounding very suspicious. How would someone know the exact moment to activate the artifacts. And how would they know all of this would happen?”
“Mehehe.” Zorbak laughed. “EbilCorp has predicted the future before. We were able to create prophets...however they did not survive long. I wouldn’t say it is impossible for an event like this to occur.”
“That only explains one portion though.” Warlic noted. “How did the artifacts activate?”
“Perhaps they detected the presence of the Soul Eaters.” Zorbak suggested.
“Whatever it is...it doesn’t matter. We need to know what to do with this information.” Warlic said. “Unfortunately...I can’t think of a thing.”
Everyone agreed. There was nothing they could do. At least, not until the battle in the skies above had finished. Until then, they needed to wait. If everything went as planned then the Dragonguard and Alliance Gundams would defeat the Soul Eaters once and for all.
Coming Next: The End of Gundam: Shadow Season 2! The Holiday Chapter, as well as Soul and Change go live on December 25th, 2009!
