logica & fallenstar (kinome) 23 part two
Part two of chapter 23 can be read here!
This chapter involves past apocalyptica, body horror, and discussion of character death.
Cee: Fallen? What are you doing?
Fallenstar: Mr Cee...
Fallenstar: I... was chasing after you, and then I wound up here...
Fallenstar: I had no idea there was a place like this so close to home! I wonder what these bugs are?
Cee: These are insects called "fireflies".
Fallenstar: Fireflies?
Cee: They only live in places with clean air and water.
Cee: Actually, Mr Cee only saw real fireflies for the first time a little while ago too.
Fallenstar: Really?
Cee: Fireflies used to live on Earth a long, long time ago too, but...
Cee: By the time Mr Cee was born, you couldn't really say the planet was clean anymore.
Fallenstar: What was Earth like when you were born, then, Mr Cee?
Cee: Mmmmm...
Cee: Constant snow.
Fallenstar: Wha?! Lucky you...! You could have snowball fights all the time forever!
Cee: It wasn't that great.
Cee: No matter where you went, it was dark, freezing... and quiet.
Fallenstar: Huh...
Cee: Oh, but the instant Mr Cee was born was bright and hot.
Fallenstar: ???
Cee: There was a person who taught Mr Cee about fireflies.
Cee: She said that the way snowflakes flickered as they fell looked like fireflies...
X MONTH, YEAR 2XXX
The giants' poison is spreading with the snow.
Every place on earth is so quiet.
X MONTH, YEAR 2XXX
The preparations to build the ship are well under way.
But in order to restore the Earth to a condition where life is possible, enough power to destroy the giants will be required.
I was called by the researchers to resume my studies.
X MONTH, YEAR 2XXX
My first failure.
The explosion didn't have enough power.
The contraction stopped halfway.
X MONTH, YEAR 2XXX
My second failure.
It contracted to the point where it almost took shape.
Just a little more.
X MONTH, YEAR 2XXX
The medicine that delays the spread of the poison is starting to lose effect.
I have to hurry.
X MONTH, YEAR 2XXX
My third experiment.
Finally, I was able to create one.
He's tiny and black.
The rest of the research team call him C3, because C is the letter my name starts with and this was our third experiment.
But calling him that felt wrong to me somehow, so I called him by a different name.
It's the name I gave the cat I kept when I was a child.
Fallenstar: Mr Cee!
Cee: Hm?
Fallenstar: I nearly forgot! I came to invite you!
Cee: Invite Mr Cee?
Fallenstar: Yeah, we're having a dance party on the night of the next full moon! I want you to come too, Mr Cee!
Cee: Hmm... Well...
Cee: That might not work out.
Fallenstar: Awww, you really can't come?!
Fallenstar: But I wanted to dance with you...
Cee: Then we can just dance now.
Fallenstar: Huh?!
Fallenstar: Whoa!
Cee: Sing something. Make it a fun one.
Fallenstar: Huhhhh?!
Fallenstar: YOU sing something!
Cee: Mr Cee CAN'T sing.
Fallenstar: You better not laugh at me if I'm bad, then.
Cee: Hey, you're a really good singer, Fallen. What an unexpected gift.
Fallenstar: Really? Yesss!
X MONTH, YEAR 2XXX
My research has ultimately ended in failure.
C3 cannot shine on his own.
He failed to become a star.
But he seems to possess enough power to hold his own against the giants.
With his help, the NOAH project's chances of success have risen exponentially.
Everyone was overjoyed... but at the same time, more than a few were afraid of him.
X MONTH, YEAR 2XXX
In the meeting, everyone concluded that C3's immense power would one day become a threat.
Humans are a foolish species.
There's no guarantee that in the far future when humans return to this planet, those humans won't try to use C3's power for evil.
To prevent those fears from becoming a reality, we have chosen the cruelest possible path.
Logica: They're sure late...
Fallenstar: I'm back!
Logica: You took forever!
Fallenstar: Sorry!
Fallenstar: Thanks for walking me home.
Cee: No biggie.
Logica: Do you want to stay for dinner?
Cee: Nah, but thanks for offering.
Fallenstar: See you later, Mr Cee!
Cee: Goodbye, you guys.
Fallenstar: Mr Cee said he can't come to the party.
Logica: Aww...
Logica: That's too bad... Did he already have plans?
Fallenstar: Yeah.
Fallenstar: He said he's gonna go beat the last giant.
X MONTH, YEAR 2XXX
C3's programming is now complete.
The moment that he has finished his duties, he will cease to function.
[Note: Materials for the presentation]
MAY, YEAR...
The NOAH project has finally commenced.
May the rest of humanity have a safe journey.
THE END
It's implied that the Professor's research was intended to create a being like Elman, the eponymous character of Kinome's short-lived science fantasy manga of the same name. (They're the blue character on the header bar.)
