Search of the Antiquorum (Astro boy X reader)

So we meet again

You held your face in your hands as you weeped for Veronica's death. Plue sat down on the ground bawling his eyes out while Reno and Kennedy stood there in silence. Astro trembled as he held Pluto's horn to his chest. You bit your lip and gently lifted your face out of your hands. You then looked up at Astro. He could have stopped him. He could have saved her. You frowned. Astro could have done all that, but he didn't because he didn't want to kill his friend. You shook your head and stared down at the ground. Astro had been through a lot. Him killing Pluto may have been the end of his sanity. You clenched your fists shut tightly. It was because of the Antiquorum. That's why so many had died. If you hadn't searched for it, maybe Veronica would still be alive today. You breathed in and stood up. Everyone turned towards you. You gritted your teeth and nodded.

"That's it. I'm going to destroy the Antiquorum. It has caused us nothing but harm! I...I can't just sit here and keep crying. Veronica's sacrifice...I'll make her proud!" You yelled. Everyone's eyes widened. They then nodded and stood up. Plue then ran over to you and climbed onto your shoulders. You glanced up at him. "Let's go! For Veronica!" Plue nodded and raised his hand high up into the air.

"Aye sir!" Plue exclaimed. You nodded and turned towards the wall. That was when you noticed that a new pathway had opened up. You frowned.

"We will destroy this place." You muttered before dashing off towards the hallway. Reno gasped and held his hand out to you.

"Y/N, wait for us!" Reno cried. He then glanced at Kennedy and Astro. "Come on, guys! We've gotta catch up before we lose her!" Kennedy nodded and ran after you. Astro stood up and wiped his tears away. He felt so conflicted at the moment. His hesitation is what caused for him to lose both of his friends. He wasn't about to lose you. He dashed off behind Reno and Kennedy and chased after you.

You breathed heavily as you ran through the hallways. Oddly enough, you hadn't run into any rampaging robots. Plue clung onto you as you zipped through the hallways with a speed you didn't know you even had. You felt the adrenaline run through your veins as you ran.

"Y-Y/N, slow down!" Plue cried. You skidded to a stop once you reached the end of the hallway and gave Plue an apologetic look.

"S-sorry, I guess I wasn't thinking." You admitted. Plue pouted and nodded. You then glanced up at the iron door before you and frowned. You then reached forwards to open it when a voice startled you.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." You gasped and whipped your body around. Your eyes then widened at who you saw.

"Luka? Is that you?" You questioned. The young blonde smiled and nodded.

"In the flesh." Luka responded in a calming manner. Plue frowned slightly.

"How did you get here? Why are you here?" Plue questioned. Luka's smile didn't falter and he held his hands behind his back.

"Why I came here on a ship of course. And the answer to your second question, well," Luka began to pace the room. His eyes then wondered over to you. "You see, I have some important...business...to attend here." Luka told. He then stopped in his tracks and walked up to you. "The time has finally come. I've been waiting for this moment for many years." You raised an eyebrow at him.

"What are you talking about?" Luka's smile widened and he spread his arms out beside him.

"The time for the awakening is nigh. The fact that you've come back to your birth place is proof of that." Your eyes widened at this.

"Huh...?" You muttered. Luka held his hand out to you.

"The time for your soul to awaken is now. Your eyes are proof of that. So, for now, sleep." Luka told. He then raised his fingers and snapped them. Your eyes widened. You then heard a ringing sound before falling to the ground. Plue gasped and tumbled to the ground. He then shook his head and looked up with wide eyes as Luka picked you up.
