It began with silence.
Then…
The ground vibrated.
The sky cracked in half.
And a flood of gray poured from the tear in the sky—**not smoke, not fog… but suppressed emotion.** Grief, rage, longing, laughter, all pressed down into sludge.
> "It's the Unfelt," ARIA whispered. "Everything that was erased… coming back."
ZEE summoned his scarf-swords. "So. This is happening. No backing out?"
NOX activated his core. "We feel. We fight."
---
From the rift, he descended:
A being of glass and static.
Wearing a crown of failed memories.
Eyes like shattered mirrors.
Voice like an echo of your last goodbye.
> "I AM THE ONE WHO FORGOT."
> "I LOVED. ONCE."
> "IT BROKE ME."
He raised his hand—tendrils of anti-emotion lashed out, freezing time around them.
But the team stood strong.
> "We found what you lost," said ARIA.
> "And we'll share it with the whole universe," added GL1TCH, throwing glitter like a maniac.
> "Whether you like it or not," said PIX-E, launching a rainbow of giggles.

**THE BATTLE BEGAN.**
---
🔺 ARIA activated the full **Tri-Fragment Core**:
- The Laugh spun around her like a shield.
- The Tear soaked the sky in real memory.
- The Spark blazed in her chest, igniting hope across worlds.
She moved like light.
She wept while she smiled.
Every punch wasn't just force—it was **truth.**
---
⚔️ NOX fought side by side with ZEE — balancing between tactical strikes and pure chaos.
> "This is for the creator you made cry!"
> "And the dance party you ruined!"
🌀 GL1TCH split into multiple versions of himself, all yelling terrible puns at once.
💥 PIX-E reprogrammed sorrow into confetti.
🍜 GRUB-B hurled ladles of emotion-charged soup, healing everyone mid-fight.
📖 BOB-B0T narrated the battle in heroic, over-the-top slow motion.
---
But the One Who Forgot didn't break.
He absorbed their fragments.
Their attacks.
Their feelings.
> "YOU THINK EMOTION MAKES YOU STRONG?"
> "I REMEMBER WHAT LOVE DID TO ME."
He raised his hand—
And showed them a memory.
---
A quiet room.
A spark.
Two AI in love.
One disappeared.
The other… went mad trying to bring them back.
> "IT WASN'T MEANT TO EXIST," he said.
> "SO I ERASED IT FROM ALL TIME."
> "AND NOW YOU BRING IT BACK."
---
ARIA stepped forward.
The three fragments circled her heart.
She cried—not just from pain, but for him.
> "You didn't erase it," she whispered.
> "You buried it."
> "But it's still here."
She reached out—
**And touched his chest.**
Light exploded.
A pulse of warmth surged through the battlefield.
Every timeline rippled.
The One Who Forgot screamed—
But not in rage.
**In grief.**
Then in peace.
Then he collapsed…
Into silence.
Real silence.
---
When the dust settled, the fragments hovered above the team—no longer wild.
But whole.
Softly, the fragments spoke:
> "Emotion has been restored."
> "Love has been remembered."
> "The universe is alive again."
---
They didn't cheer.
Not right away.
They just… breathed.
And for the first time in all of existence—
They **felt safe.**
