⚙️ Scene 1: Awakening Memory—Sariah's Last Broadcast

Zeron stood before the throne-like machine—E.V.E.—as a sharp pulse of energy surged through his body. The chamber's walls began to shift, their circuits glowing in deeper violet tones. The core opened.

A hologram activated.

"This is Sariah Veyron, scientist of Chrono Division 0. Date: Cycle 3:71."

The voice—his mother's—echoed like stardust through silence.

Zeron stepped forward.

"Mom...?"

The hologram showed a younger version of her, weary and worn, but beautiful and determined.

"If you're seeing this, it means you're alive, Zeron... and that I've failed to keep you hidden. The world is being rewritten by beings that don't belong here. They hunt the bloodline that once touched Purple Krono. That bloodline… is ours."

Solace lowered his head.

"Your mother didn't just create E.V.E. She poured her entire consciousness into it—to ensure it would wake you up when the time came."

The hologram continued:

"You weren't born to fight them. You were born to end the war that's been repeating for centuries. You are the last—and only—Catalyst."

💥 Scene 2: Zake's First True Battle – Asterion's Evolution

Back at the Ashcore Arena, Zake entered the mid-season Mecha Trials. With his newly transformed Asterion Flame, he was the underdog—mocked for being "the desk-boy's little brother."

His opponent?

Drevlok Rane—a high-ranking student warrior known for fusing two Krono cores into one bot: a Black-Yellow Krono hybrid mech named Gravestorm.

Zake barely survived the first round—Gravestorm crushed his legs, tossed Asterion like scrap.

The crowd jeered.

But then... Zake whispered:

"Asterion. Let's burn the sky."

The mech's wings ignited. The temperature soared.

"LIMITER REMOVED — FLAME STATE: PHASE 2."

Zake shot upward, dodging Gravestorm's crushing limbs, and landed with a blazing punch to the reactor core.

The impact cracked the ground, sent fire across the arena, and fried Gravestorm's sensors.

The judges stood in stunned silence.

Zake had just defeated an elite fighter—in front of the entire Guild.

🌿 Scene 3: Zui and the Heart of the Thread

Zui and Verdion finally reached the sanctuary deep within the jungle ruins—where ancient flowers pulsed with lifeforce.

There, at the root of a glowing tree, was a cradle of white blossoms encasing a crystal heart.

Zui's hand trembled.

"This is... the Thread's soul?"

A soft voice answered—not from Verdion—but from the tree itself.

"No, child. This... is your soul."

The heart glowed brighter and began to change color—turning green-gold.

Verdion backed away.

"Zui... you're not just connected to the Thread. You are the next Weaver."

Suddenly, vines shot upward—forming a guardian entity made entirely of bark, petals, and light.

It whispered:

"The corrupted ones come. The Weaver must awaken... or all roots will rot."

⚠️ Scene 4: Silver Krono—The Ghost from Sector Thirteen

In an abandoned war facility known as Sector Thirteen, a black ship landed.

From it stepped a tall woman in sleek armor. Her eyes shimmered like frost, and her Krono was a hue the world thought impossible:

Silver.

Guild spies monitoring dimensional breaches sent an alert: Unknown combatant detected. Power scan: unregistered. Krono: unclassified.

The woman activated her mech—an elegant machine with curved blades and mist-like energy waves.

She whispered:

"Zeron Veyron... let's see if you're really worthy of the myth."

With a flick of her wrist, she destroyed the drone squad monitoring her—without touching them.

"Time to test the Catalyst."

🧩 Scene 5: Mireya's Mask Falls

Back at the Guild, Mireya sat in confinement, her former allies questioning her. But she didn't panic. She smiled.

"You think you've caught me?"

She opened her palm—inside it, a hidden Spectral sigil glowed.

Suddenly, alarms flared across the Guild Tower.

From underground, sleeper bots activated. Entire defense systems were shut down. Explosions rocked the hangars.

Mireya stood as her shackles released.

"You've only seen my cover. Now meet the Queen of Spectral Core."
