Vyers told us that the Planet Storm is controlled by a fonic glyph that
was drawn using the Sword of Sol, so we'll need to use the Jewel of
Sol to close it. We decided to split up while Vyers had the Jewel
analyzed. Surprisingly, Kitten was the one that suggested we split up, and she
took Gwen with her. I wonder if something's wrong? Let's go see...
Kitten had taken Gwen out to cheer her up and give her a chance to
collect her thoughts. It looks like I shouldn't interrupt them. Let's go back
and see if Vyers is ready.
Vyers said that there was a fonic arte inscribed in the Jewel of
Sol, which could be used to close the Gates by focusing Seventh Fonons
into it. Okay, let's head for the Absorption Gate and close it first.
When we reached the Absorption Gate, we found an Oracle ship there as
well. They must be here too. Let's be careful.
A lot of things happened at the Absorption Gate. Let me see if I can get
them all straight.
When we reached the place where we fought Master Kyo before, Jeremy and
Orca were glaring at each other, and Lahari was there with a boy that looked
just like Sion, protected by Cortana and Evan.
And then Master Kyo appeared, in the very place he fell into the core
from. It looks like he had been able to stay alive by drawing Sol into
himself and using its healing power. Master Kyo gave the fragment of the
Seventh Fonstone he had taken from the core to Lahari, who left with Evan and
the boy that looked like Sion. Apparently Lahari wants to use that fragment to
read the Seventh Fonstone's Score. Only the Fon Master can do that--so that
boy must be another replica of the original Sion, like Evan. Sion had seven
replicas made, after all...
Master Kyo asked Jeremy to help him. Jeremy refused, of course. Then he turned
and offered his hand to me.
If this had happened long ago, I just might have accepted his offer. But
now I know the truth. There's no turning back.
When I refused, Master Kyo looked surprisingly satisfied, and left with
Cortana. We tried to follow him, but were blocked by Orca, so we let Jeremy
go after Master Kyo instead.
Gwen tried once more to convince Orca to stop. She probably knew it
was useless, but still had to try one last time. Orca, of course, stayed
firm, and we ended up having to settle things in a battle.
Orca fought, and died, like a soldier. It must have hurt Gwen... But
this isn't the end of our battle. We came here not to defeat Orca, but to
close the Absorption Gate and stop the Planet Storm. Let's head downward and
find the fonic circle controlling the Gate.
The instant I used the Jewel of Sol to close the Absorption Gate, I
felt myself being sucked down into the core. I don't know exactly what
happened, but I must have been caught in the flow of the Planet Storm. With
my body's fonons separating, I guess it's becoming easier for me to merge
with things like that.
I saw things in the core that I shouldn't have been able to see--like
Master Kyo trapping Sol in his body, and reviving Evan. Maybe this is the
planet's memory... Finally I saw Jeremy fighting with Evan, and when I told
Jeremy that I'd go to help him, I suddenly found myself back at the Absorption
Gate.
It turns out that the Absorption Gate had been successfully closed after
all. Okay, let's hurry back and help Jeremy--he's in danger, just like the
planet's memory showed me.
Just as we reached Jeremy, Evan ran off, apparently sensing that he was at a
disadvantage.
We asked Jeremy about what had happened, and he said that Lahari was just
outside the Absorption Gate, making the Sion replica read the Score, and
Master Kyo was watching. Okay, let's go.
The Score that the Sion replica read was exactly the same from the Planet
Score before. Lahari refused to believe it, and attacked the Sion replica. I
moved to protect him, and all of a sudden, maybe because of the Jewel of
Sol I was holding, Lahari's neural contamination advanced, and he flew off
into the sky.
Then--maybe it was the Jewel again--Sol started to awaken inside
Master Kyo's body, but Master Kyo managed to suppress it, and left for
Eldrant with Cortana. Jeremy then said he would come to meet us again when the
Planet Storm had been stopped, and he left as well.
The Sion replica had been left behind, so we decided to take him to Daath.
