Arc 1 - The Resistance against the Cicadabots

Chapter 10: Epilogue

Summary:

And so concludes this first Arc to Gemini’s journey.
But what lies in store for our hero and his team?
With the Cicadabot threat now over, Ramechi can begin to rebuild and prosper
...and so can it's enemies.

Notes:

After 10 years of the idea brewing in my head, with so many things happening in my real life during that time, The Ramechi Chronicles and the story of Gemini Delta is finally being told.
Hopefully to a well-poised result.
This was mostly a breezy experience, as it should be after being worked on in private for over a decade, but my irl responsibilities made this somewhat of a challenge.
A challenge I was willing to take on, but a challenge none the less.
Episodes 7-9 were written whilst I was on a Night shift pattern and while they gave me the means to stay awake throughout, Circadian Rhythm is still what it is.
Some aspects I felt were a little hasty or overly described, so if any details feel a bit off during these episodes then it’ll be down to that.
But I’m mostly proud of the result.

I want to take the time to make some shout outs to those who helped make this first leg possible.
Starting off with the biggest influence, OneAndOnlyLoveGame, who gave me the motivation to see this through.
Ever the Kamina to my Simon, I kept the story ideas to myself for years but after revealing I had this story vision for a starter arc, he kept giving me extra incentive to continue with the project even when I had my doubts as to whether I could pull it off.
I mostly envisioned it as a darker take on a Saturday Morning cartoon, with the biggest influence being less obscure no doubt, so I didn’t think it was translate to written format very well.
Thankfully I was proven wrong and while for the moment, the views and Kudos counts are pretty low, I’m really happy with how it turned out.
So again, thanks again man for keeping up with my insane lore.
I’ll continue to catch up with your own works in return, should the real world allow it.
Make sure you check out his Dark Souls, Zoids and re-interpretation of the Sword Art Online arcs.
They’re dynamite.

Secondly, a big shout out to the DA artists I have been in touch with to help make the characters from this arc come to life;-
(I’ll be sure to update this list as I get more characters commissioned)

Wizaria = Designer for Indigo and Wings. Thank you and I hope you’re safe wherever you are right now.

Cat-Rage = Designer for Torp. They gave their input on his final design and I couldn’t be more thankful as that helped with defining his character as the story continued.

NaosCreative = Designer for Lizi the Jellywitch. Couldn’t think of a better artist for interpreting Lizi’s grace than Naos and her signature style.

GunShad = Designer for Dr Gawlim. Not gonna lie, giving traditionally non-Sonic style artists a moment to shine with this fic was a nice little change of pace. Thanks again for helping realise the Doctor's look

LynxyFluffyBuns = Designer for Boreas. Commissioned on a whim but the design also helped influence Boreas as a character, and in turn a character later down the line. (But Spoilers)

Speaking of that, what next for Gemini and Team Chimera?

Chapter Text

Lizi stared into the crackling fire at the centre of her home, the Kelp-like walls of its interior illuminating a bright orange-yellow.
As she slowly walked around the large flame, holding her staff out towards it at an acute angle, she recited the enchantment passed down from the long generations of Jellywitches.

“Oh Great Manta of the world who’s glory and might feeds this flame.
Here me now as a descendant of the Jellywitch clans.
I come before you seeking answers and knowledge.
The future of one of your subjects hangs in uncertainty.
Without which, Ramechi will surely be plunged into darkness once more!”

She raised her arms as the flame burst higher above her and shone a bright Scarlet.

As it simmered down to just above Lizi’s head,
The Spirit of the Manta roared through to her.

She replied:-

“He goes by the name of Gemini Delta and he possesses great power,
Far more than I or any of my matrons have witnessed before.
He is untamed and reckless.
But with time, he can show great diligence.
He could become a great hero.
Though I know not of his path.
Please show me what you know”

The flame roared once again and Lizi gazed into the searing heat.
“Oh, I see”
She said in response to the visions of which only she saw.
“Then I will make it my duty to ensure this future comes to be,”
Lizi blinked and the flame died back down slightly.

“I thank you Great Manta,” She said bowing before the flame,
“Return now to your rest and I shall see to his efforts,”

The flame roared once more before shrinking back down to a small little flame in the centre of the room.
Lizi turned around,
“Then I must play this carefully. Very carefully indeed,”
She walked out of her hut to the Dene Valley swamp and watched as the sunset began to sink.
“But for now, rest easy heroes. We have a lot ahead of us,”
