During their battle with Varin--who insists they call him Colonel Beck--he reveals that everyone in the Junkyard has been to this supposed "Nirvana" before, until they died and were reincarnated in the Junkyard. He demands to know why no one remembers being devoured by Serph, much to the group's confusion.
After his defeat, all that's left to do is return to the Karma Temple with Sera. Unfortunately, being in the mansion awakens Sera's memories, and she leaves the Embryon behind, heading to the Karma Temple alone. The Embryon follow her to the top of the temple, where they find her confronting Angel. A battle ensues, and once Angel is defeated, the Junkyard is destroyed. Yet, instead of disappearing with the rest of the data, the group manifests bodies in the real world, where the sun's corrupt data is turning people to stone.
Thus begins the second game! (...Which I have yet to finish, but I would be bringing him in from the midst of it.)
The group is separated for a while; Serph, Gale, and Argilla end up earning the trust of a boy named Fred, who takes them to the undeground Lokapala city. There, they learn that Roland, the Lokapala leader, has already found Cielo and is currently holding him captive. He uses him as a bargaining chip, coercing the others into infiltrating the internment camp, where people are being held prisoner, later to become food for the Karma Society.
After a change of heart, Roland joins the party, bringing Cielo along with him. It's implied that the Lokapala didn't treat Cielo well while they had him, as he feared he would die, but what actually transpired isn't given any detail.
From there, it's a race to save Sera and find out what's really going on.
As for the "real" Cielo, the one his AI counterpart is based on: he is largely unknown. He was a test subject for the Karma Society's "God Project", but the telepathic tests drove him mad and eventually killed him. It is known that he struck up a long lasting friendship with Sera, though.
