Luna Nova
Chapter 1. And so it begins... (Prologue)
I said that I'd make an another TotA fic. But this time, I messed the original storyline badly. Really badly but this is AU fic after all but even I think that this has weird plot and stuff...
Anyway, this is AU fic which means alternate universal. This is School fic too. Shocking huh? And I won't update this so often than 'Shattered Mirror'. Most likely once in week. Because I'm still planning this and trying to get more ideas.
This is the most weird prologue which I have ever wrote...
Pairings: AschLuke, JadeGuy, SyncIon
Warnings: Shounen-ai (BoyxBoy), mild cursing, some OOC, Guy acts like a housewife (You don't see that horror often...) and maybe some implied lemon... I'm not sure.
Disclaimer: I do not own Tales of the Abyss!

1. Day
I can't tell my real name because what I'm doing is illegal. I can't even tell what day it is. Because if this journal gets in wrong hands... I don't want to even think about that. Nobody can tell their names here. But the guys who hired us have gave nicknames to us. My name is 'Necromancer'. I am a scientist who had hired to a big project which would change the world. I'm not sure why we are doing this but it doesn't matter. After all, I am a scientist and we're curious. And if this succeeds I'll get much money. But still... This whole thing is weird so I'll write everything in this journal. Me and my friends 'Rose' and 'The Emperor' were hired to this project too because our former teacher, who every scientist know, taught us and thanks to her, our knowledge in this project is helpful. But now, I'll tell about the project. I still don't know the details expect some basic information and the name.
'Luna Nova' is the name of the project. It means... New moon. Sounds weird but I don't care. ''Luna Nova' is project where we create replicas. It sounds interesting and we'll maybe succeed. But lets see what the future brings...
59. Day
The first group came today Group of ten peoples. Most of them were street kids. They all where scared and some of them even cried. I was taking some blood from a young girl. She didn't cry when the needle was in her or when she came here. I must admit that she was brave but one look in her eyes told everything. She tried to look strong so her brother wouldn't be scared. But truth was that she wasn't strong. She just wanted to cry. How pathetic.
60. Day
From ten people only two survived. The girl who blood I took is now dead. And so is her brother. She just wasted her time looking brave. A weak, stupid little girl... Wasn't she...?
105. Day
The other two are death now. We don't make any success. The bosses aren't happy. We should hurry before they'll kill us. The next group will come soon. But now there will be 40 peoples...
156. Day
We have killed 143 peoples with this project. 'The Emperor' probably can't take this. He wants to quit but the bosses won't let him. 'Rose' otherwise like this. I'm not sure should I worry about him too... He had changed so much when the project started. Well... I am changed too. I don't feel like writing this journal anymore... But I have to. This is the only thing that keeps me sane.
Is this what happens when you kill peoples...?
192. Day.
I feel sorry for 'The Emperor'. He had seen nightmares since the first one died. And he has lost weight. He looks like a skeleton. He can't sleep because the nightmares and is always tired. This has happened to many others. We have killed 304 peoples right now. I must admit that I suffer about nightmares too... 'Rose' said that he hadn't felt so great ever. His eyes have changed. He isn't the same man who I knew as a child. What's wrong with us...?
273. Day
We made it. We made a replica. We succeeded. And its original survives. He is a young boy from a rich family who was kidnapped by us at the last week. The replica is doing fine. Maybe the nightmares will end now.
274. Day
The replica died last night. It just... Stopped living. We're trying to do a new one from the same boy. Maybe this time we can make it...
299. Day
It doesn't look good. We have made seven replicas from the same boy and almost all of them are dead. Only three of them are alive.
301. Day
The boy died. His body couldn't take this anymore. But his replicas are now under a special monitoring. I wonder what kind of life they'll live after we can make thousands of replicas.
343. Day
I can't believe this. The replicas have escape! The bosses are angry. What happened is still a mystery but deep inside, I was happy. Maybe they could live a normal life...
358. Day
Today the new group came. There was 50 people but only one caught in my eyes. A young boy who didn't look afraid or didn't cry. He was like that young girl from the first group who died. I tried to study his eyes, trying to see if he feared like the girl but... His face was blank and he always glanced around, showing curious. And his looks was different. He had a red hair like it was on fire and smart, green eyes. I could tell from his clothes that he was from a rich family. Maybe he is what we are looking for. Maybe he is the key what we have tried to find.
359. Day
I took some blood from that boy. But unlike any other people, I spoke to him.
"What's your name?" I have asked. He looked at me, glaring at me.
"Luke Fon Fabre." He had answered, showing no fear. He was brave and strong by his heart. As I had expected, he was from a wealthy family. No good.
365. Day
We have succeeded to make 51 replicas and today was Luke's turn. We would see the next week have we created a replica or not.
372. Day
There it was. Luke's replica. I knew that we would make. Luke himself is tired but he will survive. I was curious what would Luke do when he'd saw the replica but... He just glared at it. I wonder what is he thinking right now.
379. Day
Everything didn't go according the plan. It seems like there is something wrong about experiment VII aka Luke's replica. Unlike the other replicas, his mid hasn't developed like it should have. The replica is now like a ten year old newborn baby. He can't talk, eat by himself or even walk. And he has some kind of link between him and his original which anybody else hasn't. I'm worried about that the bosses will kill him as a failure.
381. Day
They decided not to kill Luke's replica. Thank god, I have started to like him. But 'Rose' told me that they'll put him in a some kind of jail which is in the deepest part of this place. I wonder where I could get the key..
383. Day
I have heard how some other scientists have started to feel guilty about they have took a part in this project. Looks like me and 'The Emperor' aren't the only ones... Maybe we could do something to help these peoples.
397. Day
Finally, after a hard work, I got the key to the jail. Tomorrow I'll go to meet him. I saw Luke today. He... I'm sure that he'll never be the same before he came here. I could tell it from his eyes. I hope that his mentally health didn't damage too much... Who am I kidding, of course it has damaged... This is the first time when I think about all of this. These peoples who we have used as a guinea pigs has a family, a past, maybe a happy childhood. They had a... Life.
398. Day
Is this what I have done? I can't believe that those... Bastards are my bosses. I'd never imagine that a human could fall so low. Today I went to the jail. The place was horrible. It was dirty and the smell... The prisoners were chained and they looked like nobody had gave them food. But I found him. And what I saw was something so disgusting that it makes me want to vomit.
The replica was chained into a small cage. I could see that he hadn't got any food, I could see his ribs. He didn't cry or looked scared. He just stared at in front of him, like a doll. But he wasn't alone. There was a young girl. She was most likely around nine years old. I haven't ever seen her but she tried to do her best to comfort the replica. She said that she's there because her brother is afraid that she'll tell about 'Luna Nova'. It looks like that her brother is one of the big bosses... But still, she's a young child!
That's it. I must help these peoples and their replicas to escape.
487. Day
Me and 'The Emperor' have planned everything. And we're not alone. Many others have joined us. I have a good feeling about this. This might even work and then I could finally keep living.
559. Day
We did it today. We spread the poison gas in the laboratory. All the work we did... Is in vain. Many peoples died, good and bad peoples. 'Luna Nova is destroyed. And I could save Luke's replica and the young girl. 'The Emperor' helped Luke to escape. Too bad that I didn't have time to talk with him. I feel sorry to him. I feel sorry to everyone who we tested. But I know that even if I'd try to do everything, they wouldn't forgive me, us. Actually... I'm not sure can I keep living. Because now I don't have any reason to live. 'Rose' is probably mad. This was his life. He has lost his mind because the killing. 'The Emperor' most likely will never be the same either. Same goes to me too...
"What do you mean that you don't have reason to live?" The girl asked behind of me. I turned at her, looking at her dirty figure. We where in a forest near the laboratory. But according me, we weren't in danger because the monsters who live in this forest.
"You don't understand... I have killed thousands of peoples! Ten thousands! I can't sleep anymore because the nightmares! The peoples who I murder will haunt me until I'll die." I started to get hysterically. But the girl chuckled.
"But you saved the ones who lived. And besides..." She lowered her gaze to Luke who was sleeping in my lap.
"His life depends on you." I blinked. She was right. The replica was like a baby. And my ex-bosses probably are searching him. I couldn't leave him. They would probably use him as a guinea pig of worse..
"... You're right." I admitted, raising my gaze to her face.
"How about you?"
"I have siblings who live nearby. And they all know about my brother's... obsessions..." She whispered, starting to leave .
"Goodbye." I said politely. I was sure that this was the last time when I would see that brave girl. But she turned her head at me, grinning.
"No... Bye bye!" She smiled, running away and soon, I didn't see her anymore.
And for a moment, I wondered if she knew something about the future.
