Metaverse of Mechas

Chapter 132: : Moon’s Challenge - The Shadow Duel



📘 Chapter 132

🌒 Scene 1: The Message on Lunar Frequencies

All communication towers suddenly crackled to life.

Every Mecha guild, military satellite, and underground rebellion cell picked up the same signal—broadcast in an ancient pre-Krono code that hadn't been used in over a century.

"ZERON VEX.

If you are ready to learn why I let this world burn...

Come to the Moon."

The image that followed showed Keiran Vex, seated on a throne made from scrap mecha cores.

Behind him floated a massive crimson ring—the Mirror Gate in phase shift, visible only to those with awakened Krono.

"Bring no army. Bring no war.

Only you… and your choice."

Zeron, watching from the underground vault, stood still.

Darin:

"He's calling you… to the source."

Zui:

"It's a trap."

Zeron's voice was calm but resolute:

"Of course it is. But I'm going anyway."

🛰 Scene 2: Prepping for the Void

The Orbital Mecha Transporter—known as Nova Shard—was prepped.

Zeron was accompanied by two surprising people:

Zui, who refused to let her brother go alone.And Aelira, whose mysterious link to the Mirror Gate had begun resonating with her Krono, revealing dormant knowledge of the Gate's Origin Protocols.

Before departure, Guild Master Ark Revane met Zeron one last time.

"Your father was once the brightest star of the Guild.

But even stars can collapse into black holes if filled with too much regret."

He handed Zeron an ancient Mecha key, crafted before Krono was even named.

"If you find the Gate… don't open it until you know what's inside."

🌌 Scene 3: Lunar Descent – The Gate's Warden

As Nova Shard entered the dark orbit of the Moon, the landscape revealed twisted, silent wreckage.

Old mecha parts floated through the low-gravity fields. Time seemed… paused.

A mechanical humanoid stood guard—The Warden of the Gate—named Mythron.

He wore no cockpit.

He was the machine.

As Zeron stepped forward, Mythron spoke in a deep, echoing voice:

"Only a soul that has faced death without falling may walk through the scar in space."

Zui stepped forward.

"He's faced it a hundred times already."

Mythron scanned Zeron and saw a flicker of purple. The gate behind him shimmered.

He stepped aside.

"Then pass… and know pain beyond time."

🌠 Scene 4: Keiran vs. Zeron - Round One

Within a sealed lunar arena constructed inside the gate's energy chamber, Zeron walked in alone.

Keiran Vex stood in the center.

He wore no armor. No mech.

Just the core of his own Krono burning like a black star within his chest.

"I wanted you to see what the world becomes…

When love is used as a weapon."

Zeron summoned RazeWind, his current mech—its violet lines glowing stronger than ever.

Keiran extended his arm, and metal began assembling itself from the broken moon ground.

A mech formed instantly from his thoughts—one forged purely from Black Krono.

"Let's see if you're worthy of the purple flame, son."

And then—

They collided.

Fist to blade. Beam to beam. Mech to mech.

⚡ Scene 5: Unleashing the Violet Edge

During the intense duel, Keiran used psychic waves to project painful memories—his own torture, the fall of the Verdant Order, the betrayal of Earth's first Mecha Lords.

Zeron struggled—until he remembered the words of Zui, Darin, Aelira, and even the girl who once broke him.

He stopped resisting the pain.

He embraced it.

The Violet Edge—a mythical mode only mentioned in Rebirth Logs—ignited inside RazeWind.

A final slash shattered Keiran's mech.

But…

Keiran just smiled.

"Good. Now you're ready to meet… the one inside the Gate."

And with that, the Mirror Gate opened… and pulled them both in.

🧬 Scene 6: The Arrival of the True Enemy

Outside the Moon, the world shuddered.

A crack formed in the sky—a fissure of red light tearing open from beyond the stars.

From within it, a massive eye blinked.

All over Earth, mecha drivers fell to their knees. Krono sensors spiked.

The Ancient One had awoken.

A voice echoed through every living mind on the planet.

"He has entered.

The vessel has returned.

Now… begin the convergence."
