NL Apocalypse Bridge

"And there she goes."

Desty Nova turned back to his computers, scrambling location of message to seem as though it came from the other side of the planet entirely, though from the T.A.R.D.I.S. However, the wreck was pretty much at the very end of the slingshot, and Sechs was about to get things moving again. If there was no answer or a hostile answer from the Metarex...

Nova would launch.

And mercy be upon those that he has decided to be his targets this day.

In the meantime, the NL Apocalypse's wreck finally came within scanner range of Eggman's fleet, the Federal forces, and the Metarex. To all it showed a wreck, but Didymus, of all people, would recognize the general shape of the wreck as the very ship that has once helped him in a battle, but then disappeared. It was never confirmed by any more sightings after the conflict near that moon and the mech that always came with the ship, the NL Andromeda, was still a mystery wrapped in enigma, having appeared and disappeared without seemingly a trace.

So was this where they ended up? A wreck in space, hit by some thing or other that possibly killed off the entire crew? Or has the owner abandoned ship and was now residing elsewhere while his battlecruiser was floating in space without anything to watch it?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NL Apocalypse Hangar Bay

The ship was rather difficult to navigate through, but the K-9 unit knew the general layout thanks to The Doctor's previous visits to the Beta Apocalypse, and the little robot was able to lead the running Ema Skye right to the hangar bay, the very place which the ship designed to be for giant mecha.

It was a large chamber at the very bottom of the ship, just ahead of the generator room. A humongous chamber, almost the size of a castle hall, this was the housing place for mechs, be they of one size or another. Almost 60 meters tall, this was the biggest room in the entire ship, and it had a direct access to Nova's personal laboratory, dormitory hallways, mess hall, and launch deck.

The hangar bay itself was currently empty, but the door at the far end was not, and the launch deck housed a machine that at first appeared relatively small, until one realized that it was hunched over and in a runner's start position. A completely black, sleek mech with rounded edges and points at front and back for minimum atmospheric resistance, the entire thing was covered by a pulsing set of red lines that ran from its center across the entire mech like some sort of heartbeat, following the path of each limb to the very tips of the fingers and back to the very center.

Its back was currently opened. A massive thruster array stuck upwards like some sort of exhaust machine, while a pair of pods that looked like folded insect wings stuck oddly to the sides. In between those was an open, empty space in the shape of an upwards cylinder, the storage area, and it was completely empty at the moment. One began to wonder how the heck that was supposed to be a copilot's seat.

Launch deck was lit up in lights as well, showing that it was not only a drop-hatch, but also accessed a long launch rail for in-atmosphere launch sequences for mechs. This place was better-equipped for housing giant walking machines than most carriers, and that was saying something.

A voice rang out, clear as day, though enhanced through some sort of megaphone. "Come up to the back of the black mech, and don't flail around too much."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Azmuth's Firefly: Medical Bay

chaos nodded, grinning a bit. "I don't need any further proof that you're a plumber, Azmuth. I have heard of you only in passing, and it is a pleasure to meet you face to face. Thank you for healing me, I doubt I could have been able to come back to the living and lucid without your help."

The boy gave a sigh, before looking as though he had swallowed something sour. He always hated remembering his times as Burke's experiment, when the man was trying to force chaos's Sequester into activation through various means, though it was commonly electrocution. It was only his healing gifts that kept him top-shape... Which only prompted Burke to experiment more.

chaos considered himself lucky he didn't have scars. That's one memory too much from that time long past. But now, it was needed again, so he would speak.

"Then perhaps I should introduce myself properly. I am project MEGA-KAOS, though I have taken up the name chaos now, just to rebel against my past, however childish the attempt may seem. I know of Burke. I know that he is ruthless, heartless, powerful, and with connections that I "could not hope to comprehend". He created me, just like he created KOS-MOS... And I was thrown away because I refused to use my power for his purposes. I was scheduled for incineration, but I escaped. It has been the best choice I have ever made."

He took a seat on the bed from which he just stood up, absentmindedly rubbing at his wrists in a habitual gesture, feeling naked without his gloves.

"Burke was always... Cruel. Heartless. Powerful. He liked to inspire fear and hatred, and was the worst kind of man you could have possibly met, yet that man is hidden underneath lies and deceit. I don't know him very well personally... Nor do I care to do so. But I know one thing about him. Burke has always referred to himself as beyond human. I refer to him as a beast in a human's skin... And in the body of someone more. I cannot say any more than that, for my rather constant companions back in those days were people in white lab coats and pain."

Jason let Erin answer Samuel, since he truthfully knew the least about the boy. All he knew of was his control of electricity, and his complete adoration of his little sister...

He was curious of why Samuel was asking about Galv, and looked at the boy from a distance. "You could probably ask him" he thought out loud.


Meanwhile Melanie felt Galv take her hand, blushing and looking over to her brother and the others that were older than them. She noticed them looking at Galv.

"They're all looking at you" Melanie stated with a slight frown, fiddling with her free hand with the pendant still on her neck.

Diner

Kanna stared down at her menu "Just coffee" she answered for the first part of the question. The second part was a bit more complicated...She stayed quiet, not really wanting to say anything.

"I'll get back to normal, put Melanie and Jason back in school again, stuff like that" she answered vaugely from behind the menu.

K-9 moved with Ema to the hangar bay, then over to the large mech.

“Do not worry Mistress Skye, I shall protect you,” the robotic dog said to the girl, whether she looked worried or not.

-Azmuth's Firefly: Medical Bay-

“I see...” Azmuth said, rubbing his chin as chaos went over what he knew, “It seems, either way, we Plumbers should be wary of him. I will contact the other Plumbers about him shortly. Now...”

Azmuth continued, “Currently, we are heading to Earth. If you or KOS-MOS would like to be dropped off there, you are more then welcome too. If you wish to go someplace else, then that shall be our next stop, excepting unforeseen circumstances. You are, of course, welcome to stay on this ship for longer if you wish. It would be nice to be able to talk science with someone. Ben's a good kid, but he's not a scientist.”

-Earth-

Park

“...Not yet. Not until I'm sure about something,” Samuel sighed. He wasn't to sure if he wanted to talk about this with Jason and Erin. They were kids...


Galv shrugged, looking towards the three, then back to Melanie, “I don't care to much...Not like we're doing anything bad, right?”

He smiled at the girl and continued to hold her hand, probably helping cause cavities to anyone who was watching.

Diner

“You should eat something. Make sure to keep your strength up,” Ethan said, actually sounding concerned. “And that sounds like a tall order. After all, I've had first hand experience in a single parent household myself.”

He grinned at her, “If you don't want anything, I'll share my waffles with you if you change your mind once the food comes.”

Jason raised a brow at Samuel but decided against saying anything to the man. Instead he called out to Melanie, Galv, Aiden, and Felix. "Okay guys, enough playing, let's get going!"

Melanie frowned a bit and stood from the swing.

"We'll come back sometime" She decided

Diner

Kanna gave a shrug. "I've been doing it for thirteen years, it's not that hard." she stated, regarding taking care of her children alone. She didn't even remember what it was life to have someone there. Anyways, they would just get in the way (and Kanna would have to throw them out a window) "And just coffee is fine..I'm not hungry"

“Awww...” Aiden pouted, having climbed to the top of the jungle gym and was sitting up there, waiting for Felix to catch up and try to tag her. She climbed down now with a frown.

“I'd like that,” Galv said, still smiling. Today was starting off as a very good day. “Wherever we end up going, we better make sure there's a park nearby.”

He continued holding her hand though as they headed back to the others.


“Maybe we should go get something to eat too...What do you guys think?” Samuel wondered now, glancing to Jason and Erin.

“I guess...” Erin muttered.

Diner

“Perhaps it's not hard...But not everything should just be a challenge. True, while those provide a zest to life, family should be something that one enjoys. Not just a job,” Ethan smiled again, “Your children are lucky to have a mother who looks after them. You are quite a remarkable woman Kanna.”

Ema nervously laughed at the robotic dog ((that DP seriously needs to read up on now)), with its proclamations of protecting her in case of trouble. "You could probably work on being a little more positive! Heh-heh..."

After one more little laugh, she added, "but seriously thank you for your concern and help, in case of any problems!"

Then finally, they had reached their destination at the back of the black mech, where she noticed that they weren't kidding when they said it was a storage area. "I hope they have at least a seatbelt in there..."

((and unless there's a fancy way to get in, or something else someone else wants to do before them entering, it's ok to assume they entered the mech))

NL Apocalypse: Hangar Bay

The moment K-9 and Ema came up to the back of the mech, they could see up-close that the entire storage area... Was basically a large, cylindrical-shaped hollow underneath all the thrusters. It was about 10 feet high from top to bottom and sported absolutely no seat. It was just an empty cylinder.

But before the mechanical dog and Ema could ask what the heck was going on, both of them were lifted into the air without warning and floated into the cylinder, the dog floating just beside the girl inside of the empty space. The large thruster array closed up behind them, sealing them inside the dark cylinder as they floated, leaving them in complete darkness for a few seconds... Before red lines pulsed around them, and they found themselves...

Floating about 8 meters off the ground inside the hangar bay, everything around them lit up as though they never actually entered a mech. They were just floating there.

A holographic communication screen opened up about 20 inches away from Ema's face, revealing the face of the pilot she briefly saw on the communication screen on the Bridge. The same screen popped up in front of K-9 as well, followed by a few more screens that the dog could busy itself with.

"Welcome to the NL Andromeda. There is no need for seats or seat belts, so just enjoy the ride and get yourselves used to the sensation of floating where there should be gravity. Make sure to keep your eyes on the monitors. If possible, I would also like for you to handle communications while I'm piloting. It will make my job much easier, and your own presence here much safer."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Azmuth's Firefly: Medical Bay

chaos smiled and nodded thankfully to Azmuth.

"Earth, huh... Well, I will go anywhere KOS-MOS goes. I will not leave her side again. So if you wish to know where we are best headed, ask her, for she would probably know more of the destination than I do. I am simply her companion... And her protector, however much protection she really needs. That girl can be frightening in battle."

He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. Truth to say, he wasn't exactly big on "science" either. Sure, he was an accomplished engineer, but he knew more about special powers and how they worked than most scientists that actually worked on those projects. Due to his own unique talents of energy isolation, chaos could understand the principles of the energy itself, even if he has never met with its type before, and stop whatever influence it was creating, thus "isolating" it in subspace.

"I don't know about science, Mr. Azmuth. I don't know science very well, and I am not a scientist myself. I am an engineer. However, I like to think of myself as somewhat of an expert on special powers and abilities."

K-9 went to work, looking over the screens and checking on the mech and various other things, keeping track of the needed levels.

-Azmuth's Firefly-

“Engineering is an aspect of science,” Azmuth chuckled, “After all, the Omnitrix didn't just make itself once I thought of the idea, no?

“I do apply my ideas to the real world. I don't just come up with theories. Many of the systems on this ship are made by me. This human vessel has been very customized. It resembles it in looks only. And I chose that because humans quickly seem to becoming one of the more spread out species in the galaxy. What villain would bother with some no longer produced human cargo vessel to look for someone such as myself?” Azmuth continued, “But nevertheless, I understand. I'll do my best to not talk your ear off.”

He turned, and headed for the door, “Now, to talk to KOS-MOS...and if neither of you are sure in where you may wish to go...I might have an idea for you both.”

Samus listened to Sally for a moment and then crossed her arms, shaking her head slightly.

“I can understand where you are coming from, your highness. You may think you are being an inspiration to your people by standing against this threat, but your people need a ruler; not a martyr. You’ll do them no favors if you are killed here today.”

Samus shook her head. “My orders are to keep you alive. If you insist on staying, I will do whatever I can to protect you. However, I would at least request you to allow my partner inside, and I cannot protect anyone if I am not allowed to access my weaponry.”

Samus remained cool, calm and calculating. She was used to dealing with angry people.

[Mobius Orbit]

The DSK and Asuka’s temporary mech were both standing by, waiting for additional orders.

“Misato,” Sama called. “What’s the plan? You have specific orders for us, or should we just blow these jerks up?”

[Zohar]

Selphie gave a big grin to Quistis.

“Well… that sounds good to me. Like I said, my job… well, I don’t think I have one anymore… and it would be really nice to see everyone again.”

Selphie ran over and jumped up a bit, kicking her feet in the air. “Let’s go then, Quisty!”

Rica had been silent for a bit, thinking about a lot of things. He finally snapped back to his senses, though.

“Given I may soon be in a position of some authority, if there is ever anything I can do to make your life and the lives of your children easier, don’t hesitate to call.” Rica smiled to Kanna.

Of course, he may also be imprisoned by the UTR, considering they had long thought he was dead, and he never bothered to correct them…

[Azmuth’s Firefly]

Jordan was sitting, sipping on a cup of hot chocolate he made while GS was in Texas, thinking. He wondered what would happen when he got to Earth.

Molly would likely go back to the racing circuit… he wondered if he would be able to come along? Jordan did not have much to do outside of his adventures with Molly, and he honestly did not know what else he could do.

It occurred to him that a Gunner of his abilities could be an asset to the UTR during the war, but he wasn’t sure what Eva would think about that.

Another idea had occurred to him… but he also was unsure about that.

Misato's voice sounded out in Sama and Asuka's mechs.

"You heard the colonel. We're letting the unidentified fleet engage the main hostiles. We're hanging back, and getting into defensive positions between them and the planet surface. Just stay formed up by the Crusader and await further orders." she said.

Meanwhile, the metarex and Eggman's forces had engaged each other, and the metarex had offered no response to the Doctor.

Meanwhile, Didymus HAD noticed...unusual, vaguely familiar sensor readings, traces of them at least.

Could it be...no...no no no...not THOSE guys...this situation is complicated enough...

Acorn Palace

Sally was still indignant.

"Yes, that's what they said during the Freedom Fight." she said. "That's what they said when the Republic invaded. I hid both times, and I'm being mocked for it. My House is being mocked for always leading our people into hard times, then hiding from the result. I'm SICK of it!" she said, then, despite her frustration, smirked a bit.

"Don't worry. I have NO intention of dying today." she said.

Zohar

Quistis couldn't help but grin and shake her head at Selphie's antics.

"Very well." she said. "Come on...I don't know if we'll see everyone else...I know that Sama's probably been shipped off to a war zone...I don't know if Rinoa, or you for that matter, are interested in seeing the Republic's forces in action...oh, and by the way, Rinoa picked up a couple...bodyguards...on her travels. One's cordial enough, the other...I'm not certain what to make of him..." she said.

It felt weird--REALLY weird-- that somebody (actually two somebodies) were so concerned of her well being, despite her horribly obvious attempt to make them hate her.

".....Uh....Thanks" she said to them both, hoping neither would read too much into her small form of gratitude.

Kanna frowned, slinking back behind her menu. Though when the waitress came she was forced back out...

"What will you all be having?" She asked happily, pen and notepad in hand. Kanna looked at both men before finally speaking up.

"Just coffee...Black."

"Mmmm food would be good" Melanie stated as the group took off again, heading down the sidewalk, surrounded by skyscrapers.

"Now that we're back on Earth you can go back to school Mel" Jason noted, as the passed a large building that seemed to be a school full of children. Melanie looked at the schoolyard, thinking.

"I dunno, can't we be done with it"

"Don't let Kanna hear you talking like that" Jason joked. "Hey just think of it this way, if you convince Galv to go you can hang out with him without mom wanting to stab him!"

Melanie's eyes lit up "Would you really come with me to school Galv?!"



Azmuth’s Firefly

Eva and Don seemed at ends once again, Eva not willing to give up on their adventure.

"Trust me Eva, Earth will be good for you. Something stable is what you need"

"Do I look like i'm stable?" Eva questioned. Rick snicked.

"Not the slightest Little Mouse" The former racer joked. Eva rolled her crimson eyes.

No response.

“Well, I gave them a chance...” The Doctor sighed, and changed from the Metarex, to another well known friend.

“Nova, this is The Doctor. Hate to say it, but they're not responding...Seems like they don't want to back off,” The Doctor told the scientist, “And has the U.T.R. discovered us yet? If they do...Don't let them know I'm here. Like to keep it a surprise.”

-Outside Acorn Palace-

Sonic paused, thinking to himself.

He looked around, “I wonder where the communications stuff is...”

“If you go Melanie, then so will I!” Galv grinned, “School sounds...like it might be fun.”

NL Apocalypse Bridge

Desty Nova received The Doctor's message... And grinned. It was about time. He respected The Doctor, but he was too pacifistic and gave one too many chances. Sure, he only gave one chance this time... But really, it was already one too many. At least in Nova's eyes.

So the moment he heard the "They're not Responding" line, he let out a laugh. It was time to act, and The Doctor's timing couldn't be more perfect. Their angle of approach was perfect: If they fired off the engines within the next minute, they would be all set for an insane acceleration due to a slingshot from a planetary gravity well.

"Don't worry, Doctor. I will make sure they see only MY ship and sense only it as well. As long as you don't pop up on any of their screens, you'll be fine. Nova out."

And he canceled the communication line with a click of a button before clapping his hands together and rubbing them, pure glee just radiating from him. Sechs' smirk couldn't be bigger as he heard the words he had hoped to hear for hours now.

"Launch!!!"

The moment that single word was spoken, the entire ship went into an overdrive of activity. First and foremost, Elf dropped the physigram, revealing the fact that this was not a space wreck at all, but the actual NL Apocalypse, with what looked like a few improvements over the last time it was seen by the UTR. It was pointing itself straight at the Metarex fleet now, coming to the very edge of a gravity-well-induced sling. The whole ship lit up a second after, blue lines racing across the outside, and a blue aura surrounding the ship for a few seconds as Zwölf kicked the shields into high gear.

And then, Sechs shoved forward the thrust to full, and the ship YANKED forward, escaping the edge of a slingshot and going from approximately 500 kilometers an hour to almost a hundred times that speed in just seconds. The thrust at full served only as an afterburn-accelerator, and lowered just a little after the initial firing, but the ship continued to accelerate. In just under a minute, it passed from the very outside rim of the scanners to the inside, coming fast and furious, bearing upon the Metarex.

The moment it entered the "inner circle" of sensors and was subject to possible identification, the hatch under its belly opened...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NL Apocalypse: Launch Deck

The moment the ship started moving, the door to the hangar closed, sealing the launch deck with the massive airlock-doors. Blue flared into light everywhere, and a quartet of red lights appeared underneath the NL Andromeda.

Jagan only gave a moment's warning with a single sentence. "We're launching. Beginning mission."

And immediately after that, there was a hiss as the hatch underneath them slid to the sides, opening in a space of two seconds, dropping the mech into the open blackness, only set off by a multitude of stars, the massive blue planet beneath and behind them, and the lights coming from the space battle between Eggman and the Metarex.

The mech fell for just a few seconds before straightening out, and its boosters firing, causing the mech to change direction instantly, lurching forward and easily overtaking the speeding battleship that just dropped it, all thrusters roaring as a blue light appeared, signaling weapon decompression from sub-dimensional storage. With a strange zig-zag, the large black mecha dodging from side to side to seemingly avoid either easy detection or fire (or possibly both), the weapon materialized in its right arm, and the Andromeda brought its weaponry to bear, the tip of the large laser cannon lighting up in a magnificent red as the barrel began o spin, mounting energy...

And fired, shooting dozens of red beams forward, almost reaching a hundred in number, seeking in on Metarex currently in battle...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NL Apocalypse

While the Andromeda did its own thing, the large ship adjusted its trajectory slightly, heading nose-forward to the biggest ship it could see out of the Metarex currently in battle. The Apocalypse swiftly brought it up on target, and Sechs aligned the ship perfectly so it was lined up with the massive ship, and then another pair of smaller ships. This wouldn't be a killing blow on the big one unless they got REALLY lucky... But it WAS going to be a pain.

And Desty Nova was here to be a pain.

"Charge the Critical Rails! Remove the Outer Compression Layer! Check the DRM for possible malfunctions and release the compression to start Critical Mass procedure!"

The two androids at the professor's sides followed his every instruction to the letter, their hands flying so fast across the keyboards that it was sometimes hard to see their fingers. Both spoke in stere as both stopped typing. "Done, professor!"

Desty sat back and raised a hand.

"Sechs... FIRE!!!" And he brought his hand down in a chopping motion, his finger now pointed at the big ship looming ever so closer...

Sechs did not bother responding. Instead, he jammed his thumb on the red button on the control stick, and watched with a crazed and gleeful eye as the fireworks began...

The firing of the cannon coincided perfectly with that of the Andromeda's laser fire. The largest cannon beneath the NL Apocalypse's nose suddenly started to glow a bright, BRIGHT yellow, an almost-white that was just blinding to watch. Within moments, it glowed too brightly to watch directly, like a small sun. And then, this light lanced out in a long beam, just under a foot wide, heading right for the Metarex's largest craft.

This was Desty Nova's Pride and joy. The Solar Lance was a weapon that stored a large amount of Critical Mass undergoing fusion, but compressed it to such a state where it could not support the fusion. Then, projecting it outwards, the energy "lances" out of the weapon barrel, enhanced by the additional mass added during the path through the rail itself. In reality, this was the superexpansion of a small start happening in a long and very linear path, all of that pent-up energy and heat targeted directly at a tiny spot.

Not even Desty Nova's main craft, the Black Omen, could take a hit from the Solar Lance and remain undamaged. The Solar Lance may be very directional and cause little damage... But in space, this weapon made short work of shields, armor or anything else standing in its way.

Having fired the primary weapon, the cannon retreated into the body of the ship... And its sides and back lit up as various other weapons came to bear. And then, as Sechs started to press buttons and triggers while laughing rather maniacally, the ship began to simply blast devastation with its accelerated surprise-attack. It was nice having the Metarex preoccupied while he worked, Desty mused as he watched the ship lance out in every direction with balls of plasma, laser turrets , lightning from a pair of projectors, deep-space missiles/torpedoes and the front of the ship carving a path through the Metarex flank with a pair of particle-accelerated rail-cannons.

The aim of the ship was rather obvious. Cut into the Metarex flank without a warning, carve right through the part thickest with Metarex while flying at top speed, making full use of its shields and speed to cause massive disorder and then bolt out the other side and out of imminent danger.

The Andromeda, however, took its job much more seriously and personally. It followed the NL Apocalypse while blasting its laser, but the moment it entered the Metarex flank, it separated from the mother ship, spinning and twirling and dodging like no mech should possibly do, its gun disappearing and replacing itself with a pair of large, metallic blades with a glowing-red channel on each one, the channel trailing an "aura" of red sparks.

And as the Apocalypse moved onward, the Andromeda dove into melee combat with the Metarex...

"I'll do my best to not talk your ear off."

chaos simply shook hie head at that comment. "Don't worry. If it is about mechanics and electronics, I enjoy hearing new theories, for I can always learn a new lesson. Professor Nova has proven this time and time again when I was traveling with him."

As they headed out of the infirmary (I am going to assume that chaos was able to change into his usual outfit at some point, because walking around in a medical robe is not his style XD), chaos couldn't help but think real hard about one question that was bothering him now.

He fulfilled his mission. He found KOS-MOS. But... What now? What was he supposed to do? What was going to happen now? Burke would not leave him and KOS-MOS alone, no matter how he wished for that to be true. KOS-MOS being a creation of Burke's, it was quite possible for that evil man to try and find KOS-MOS through some tracking signal or another.

And there was the fact that he has stolen something. Patting the pocket of his shirt, he was thankful that the data disc was still there. A data disc he took from Burke's office before he hauled ass out of there with Ben over his shoulder. Again, he pulled out the disc, and looked at it contemplatively.

A triple-A encoded disc... This may very well be the one about KOS-MOS... He only hoped that Burke has not been able to crack the secrets of this disc yet. The fact that it was still a CLOSED disc gave chaos some hope, but he could never be sure.

And again, his head came back to the original question...

What was he supposed to do NOW?

Now becomes the the past in an instant — and everyone will eventually die! Destiny triumphs over human knowledge and goes mad! That is the way of things! I spit upon this frail, crazed, world! I spit upon the Second Law of Thermodynamics!
~ Desty Nova, Karmatron Theory

Let them Label me! Let them swear and curse at me as I tug humanity like a bucking bull into the darkness of the unknown, revealing its secrets to the sane and driving them MAD! In ages long past, I shall be looked upon as a tyrant and a savior! As a savant and as a fool! My work shall advance humanity long past its time, throw it into the unknown future and force it to grow strong or FALL! Years from now, when I will inevitably be removed, my work shall continue to progress, because these things cannot be denied! Governments will publicly criticize my work, but privately conduct research that advances it! I shall imprint myself into the annals of history, among the stars that shine as brightly as Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Dmitri Mendeleev, Nikola Tesla, and countless others! My work will shine as brightly as any star, and I AM ITS CREATOR!!!

GRAPPLING HOOK!

Melanie gave a slight shrug "We should be, as long as I can keep up my grades. Technically you'd be in high school and me in middle, but if I do good they'll skip me again probably." she then looked to Erin "Don't worry, school is fun. You make lots of friends"

"Don't let her fool ya' Erin" Jason joked "It sucks, trust me, I know. LUCKILY i'm done with that, now just comes the fun task of getting a job and being an adult"

Jason frowned to himself...He technically didn't need to work right away, but he DID need to explain the nice little payday he had made to his mother.

"I hope momma likes it here, that way we can stay. I like it here, it's really big...And cool looking."

"Well if we can convince her that NERV isn't comming to get us then we should get to stick around for awhile i'm guessing....Right now she's a bit freaked, but for a change it's not from NERV"

Melanie looked at her brother, confused. He wasn't about to explain the tension between their mother and her two suitors. He shuddered. They did NOT need a stepdad.

I can't see what you're imagining
-Mobius Space-

“What in the dickens was that?!” Eggman yelled, as the Solar Lance shot across the Metarex fleet, “Computer, analyze!”

As his computer analyzed the beam from the recorded video, going over what it might be, Eggman's fleet bristled.

Many of his unmanned mechs were attacking the Metarex, while Metal Sonic was in space, moving quickly and silently, heading for the largest ship.

-The T.A.R.D.I.S.-

“Don't worry, I don't plan on taking the T.A.R.D.I.S. into battle...Considering it doesn't have any weapons as it is...” The Doctor grinned at Nova.

While he always gave his enemies a chance...most of the time. Once he did though, and he refused. Well, he'd give Nova a run for his money in destruction.

-Azmuth's Firefly-

“KOS-MOS! Azmuth here, as is chaos. We'd like to know where you plan to go,” Azmuth said, as he and chaos made their way to the hallway which had the room. He knocked loudly on the door of the room that was given to the robotic girl.

-Earth-

“That'd be great Melanie!” Galv smiled, “I'd like if we were in the same class...I know I'd have one friend.”

“I'll test out of school then,” Erin decided, “Maybe I could look for a job too...Do...something normal.”
