Chapter 266 Remake Everyone
"It's so much to take in," I said as I forced my eyes open to stare into Anya's crystal blue ones.
"Just take it a bit at a time and keep looking at me. You are trying to get used to what it is like to have a full 60% of your strength unrestricted. I am sure it will be easier with time, so just take deep breaths. You can do this," Anya said, putting her hands on the sides of my face, and I nodded.
I closed my eyes and let the energy take over me. It was like I had become one with the planet, like some superhero from tv. It was almost comical to think about it, and that thought helped me bring my mind to focus.
Quickly, my mind started to organize the things I was feeling, and then it lessened them until I felt like my mind was complete. I could feel the three women, and I got a mental picture of them giving me a thumbs-up.
"I am better now. My mind was just sorting everything out, but my brain is good now," I said, and Anya sighed and kissed my forehead.
"You had better go see the other girls quickly and then get going. Even with the time you have, you are going to have to do a lot of setting up if you hope to win. Do not underestimate this fight. I know you seem to think that you can take on anything, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be giving it your all every time. Don't hold back; this isn't one of our stories, and you aren't some hero. You are just Daniel, and we all love you and want you to come back home," Anya said, and I nodded.
"I promise that I will give it my all and hold nothing back. I wish I had more time with my current power, but I will have to learn as I go. I will see you when I get back," I said. n()O/)V(/e-)1-)B/-1--n
"One more thing. Do you really think that this crystal will survive if the planet gets destroyed?" Anya asked, but I shook my head.
"No, but it is connected to me. As long as you do what I told you, I will take everyone into my Memory Crystal. This is the worst-case situation and not something that I want to have to use unless we have to," I said, and Anya nodded.
"Yeah, even if you can remake everyone, I think that should be the worst-case situation, but we should be seriously considering it going forward. I don't want to waste your time, but just consider this when you are heading to the sun. If you were to store everyone in your mind and then escape alone, would that not be the safest route? You would have time to find a good hiding place to build a new home for us and then recreate us all. I know that this would be asking a lot of you, but considering the situation we are in, do you even think that we are going to be able to get away from the Cleaners or the two that are attacking us right now? Is it really worth constantly running? What if you made us the same but as a new race? The Cleaners are only after humans, right? I know it is radical, but if all humans died, then they would be forced to stop chasing us, right?"
I nodded and couldn't help but to agree with her in my mind over the implications, and then I summoned all the women into my view.
"Instead of me coming to see each of you, I will just speak to you like this. I love you all, and I am going to fight the sisters now. You all have your own battle, and I know you will succeed, but I just wanted to see all your faces before I go. I will be back soon, and I call on the power of this crystal to guide me and make sure I come back safe," I said, and then everyone nodded in agreement.
"Good luck, Daniel. May you return victorious," Anya said, and I smiled at her before leaping into the sky and soaring off toward the sun. I need to know that you are all okay and that you are going to keep on fighting no matter what. I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that this planet is safe from destruction, so just keep the faith and focus on your own battle. I believe in all of you," I said, and the girls all nodded, even though there were tears in their eyes.
Anya took my hand and kissed my cheek before I stepped away.
"I will see you soon, but for now, fight well," she said, and I smiled.
"I will be back as soon as I can," I said with a smile, and then I stepped out into the night. Taking a deep breath, I looked up to the stars and focused on the mission at hand. Even knowing the odds were against me, I was determined to put an end to this once and for all.
Part of me wanted to visit each of the girls, considering how long I had just been away from everyone. Now I was going to leave the planet again to face foes that were going to try and kill me without holding back.
I lifted up into the air, but as I rose, I started to consider what Anya had said.
The truth was that things would be a lot easier if I was just able to get away by myself, and I was having trouble trying to justify what I was trying to do by taking the planet along with me. Yes, it was a perfect environment for humans, but the universe was covered in planets.
It had been a bit of a romantic idea from the start to turn this planet into a moveable object, and given enough time, I knew it could work, but time was not on our side. The fact was that everything that this planet provided us with was something that I could create anywhere.
