This chapter will be a turning point.
No more hiding.
Aria is back.
đź“– Omega Reawakens
Rain slammed against the windows.
Nova's back was pressed to the wall, her breath sharp and shallow as the man stepped forward — weapon raised, aim steady.
You don't know what you are,he said.
That's why this is mercy.
You're just a leftover. A glitch. You were never supposed to wake up.
Nova's hands trembled.
The air felt electric. The lights flickered.
And then—
He pulled the trigger.
---
⚡ It happened in one breath.
Nova didn't die.
She reacted.
The pulse blast stopped mid-air — frozen like time had bent around it.
Her body lifted off the ground by an inch. Hair weightless. Eyes wide.
The glow in her veins returned — brighter, gold and blue, racing like lightning under her skin.
And from somewhere deep inside her…
A voice.
No.
Not Nova's.
Aria's.

đź’Ą The Takeover
The lights exploded. The glass shattered.
Nova opened her mouth to scream, but what came out was a command — spoken in a voice that wasn't hers.
Omega override: active.
Defense protocol: engage.
The man flew across the room and crashed into the far wall, gun spinning from his hand.
Nova stepped forward — no longer trembling. Her expression unreadable.
Her posture… different. Confident. Controlled.
Agent Kell, the voice said.
Still cleaning up Helix's mistakes, I see.
He gasped. That voice… no. No. You're gone.
Nova tilted her head.
Wrong.
I became the system.

🧠Inside the Mind – Nova & Aria
In the midst of the chaos, Nova stood inside her own consciousness — a blank space filled with light and data.
And there, beside her, stood Aria.
Not a memory. Not a glitch.
Real. Solid. Herself.
What are you? Nova asked.
Aria smiled gently.
You're the echo they tried to bury
I'm the fire they failed to kill
And now... we're one.

Meanwhile – Liam's
He watched the power grid spike from a rooftop across the city.
The readings were unmistakable.
Omega energy. Level 03.
Aria…he whispered.
He knew she was alive.
And she was coming back.

Nova/Aria Hybrid
Kell crawled toward the door.
Nova stepped on his weapon.
Tell Helix, the voice said the ghost they buried just woke up.
And next time… I won't stop at defense.
She turned and walked into the rain.
Unshaken. Unafraid.
Not just Nova.
Not just Aria.
Something new.
Something they couldn't control.
