I can't see what you're imagining
-Nova's Ship-

Galv smiled at Melanie. He wanted to cheer her on, but knew that yelling would probably break her concentration, so he remained quiet.

[. . .]

“I doubt it...” Ethan said, “He seems almost as protective of Melanie as you...He'll probably keep it to himself.”

He glanced to the door, thinking some more.

“And now I wonder,” he said with a grin, “What was the word you were looking for?”

[. . .]

Erin paused, thinking.

“Well...” she said, glancing down the hall to make sure no one was there with them at the moment, “We could find an unused room...”

(Hahaha...ha...)

-Visser Three's Blade Ship-

The red liquid that was Visser Three twitched, morphing, changing, returning to the Andalite form.

<Stop them!> Visser Three roared, his tail blade twitching. He rushed at Ben/Upchuck, slashing with his tail blade, faster then a human eye could follow.

“Ahhh!” Ben/Upchuck yelled, jumping back, his front slashed!

He pressed his Omnitrix.

Swampfire!” Ben yelled with another flash of green light, stepping forward, fire burning in his hands.

Several Hork Bajir jumped at Ben, slashing with their blades, chopping him up, only for Ben to reform!

“Hahahaha!” Ben/Swampfire laughed, “Let's see how well you handle me!”

He started throwing fireballs around!

At Gwen and KOS-MOS, several Taxxons swarmed at the two, their centipede-like bodies crunching the air hungrily.


Meanwhile, Jenny slid into the elevator, playing her Sonic Flashlight over the controls.

And the the entire ship shuddered!

<What is happening?!> Visser Three roared. <Who is firing on us?!>

“It's...the Emperor class ship! They...they blew a hole in our hall, and they're sending something in...” a voice answered the leader.

Visser Three scowled. What was happening? He could handle these pathetic humans! He was Visser Three!

GRAPPLING HOOK!

Nova's Ship-

Melanie smiled to herself as she got the hang of concentration.....Until Jagan swung a fist at her face. Naturally the girl flinched, bringing her face down and shutting her eyes tightly. But when nothing came she waited a few seconds and them opened her eyes....Just in time to see a kick coming at her. Once again she shifted and winced, not wanting to be hurt. When nothing came again she stood confused, eyes wide.

"Do not flinch. Do not move. Do not pull back. Focus on the motion, but do not react to it."

Melanie took in a long breath, looking like some sort of scared puppy for about three seconds until she calmed herself down, stared forward, and concentrated.

Another blow came at her but did not hit.

Another came. Nothing.

Another. Nothing at all.

Melanie stared forward, focusing on Jagan's movement.

[...]

Kanna glanced back at Rica for a moment, and shook her head a bit "He better..." she muttered, referring to Jason.

She knew this was a bad idea.....

"And you don't want to know. Trust me" she added to Ethan....

[...]

Jason's face was beginning to turn red again....GEEZ. This girl was worse than him!

...Not that he was mad about that....


-Visser Three's Blade Ship-


"You ready?"

Gwen looked at KOS-MOS, ready to see what she could do! It was time to bring out their best!

Gwen flexed her hands and started to throw ball after ball of energy at the Taxxons!!

They were fast though...Oh well, Gwen would just have to be faster!

(There's no problem with adamantium, I'd think (we REALLY don't need to incorporate the X-Men origin reason here, right?). I was just demanding to know what it's doing here. :D)

T.R.S. Crusader-Didymus' quarters

Didymus nodded, taking this in.

"Friendships with Republic trade partners? You mean he has alien friends? Interesting..."

He sighed, and raised an eyebrow at Sama explaining he hardly knew Rinoa.

"Then how was she your date to a formal graduation ball? You barely knew her? I suppose that's possible...but take it from me, women seem to like you the MORE they get to know you, yet she's the opposite?"

Finally, he sighed, shaking his head.

"You sound like you've led a convoluted life, if I may say so. For all the stress and political hatred and even feminine loathing"-at this he grinned "that has come my way, at least things have been relatively straightforward for me. Either way, I appreciate your honesty...and I suppose that's all I got for you now. Oh yes, I need to find Miss Soryu and get her a proper berth...come along, if you like, maybe she'll be less likely to go ballistic on me when you're around..."

With that, he stepped out into the hallway, and, after paging Asuka, began to walk to meet up with her...

T.R.S. Crusader-hallway

Misato was also in the hallway, heading back to HER quarters. She had a lot of data to analyze. As an intel officer, she was going to try digging a little deeper into the political situation on the planet the Third was holding orbit over-maybe show some wit and initiative, and she'd be a bit more trusted. She was worried about Rei and Asuka, but the doctor had shooed her away...what a grouchy old man. Her mind was elsewhere as she walked through the hallways...

((Are you talking about the movie X-Men Origins? The whole meteor thing? Yeah, that was stupid. XD In Marvel, Adamantium was actually invented by the same guy who invented Captain America’s shield. It’s just a man-made metal that’s practically indestructible. Only drawback is it’s insanely expensive to make and because you can’t mold it, it’s not useful in weapon designs. I’ve been to Wikipedia, if you can’t tell. XD))

[NL Apocalypse]

Rica stepped over to Kanna with that same little smirk playing on his face. He had noticed her look his way and quickly took advantage of it.

“I wouldn’t worry too much. I doubt Jason wants to have that discussing with Melanie.”

[Visser Three’s Blade Ship]

“Affirmative.” KOS-MOS answered Gwen with one word. She allowed her actions to say the rest, spinning to face the Taxxons and blasting with her gigantic gaiting guns. Several hundreds bullets flew their way on a path of destruction!

[TRS Crusader]

"Friendships with Republic trade partners? You mean he has alien friends? Interesting..."

“Certainly.” Sama nodded. “He’s pretty well known throughout the galaxy. He’s helped negotiate several trade contracts for the Republic before. He probably saved the Government a lot of money in doing so.”

Sama shook his head. “It’s actually pretty simple. I agreed to join the Republic… no, it’s more than that… I went to work for Caraway. Rinoa doesn’t like her father, so we stopped getting along. Like I said, simple.”

He shrugged. “Sorry, you’re on your own for this one, D. I need to go meet Otacon and E.E. and get the Ragnarok’s computers up to date. It’s the new Philanthropy ship. Looks like we’re sticking with the Fleet for now, though, so I’ll be back once we’re all up-to-speed.”

He gave a waved and headed off for a shuttle. He would also have to talk to Desty Nova again sometime.

(I was actually referring to the "origin" of X-Men and the "X Gene" overall, but we probably shouldn't get into that. But yeah, I found the Origins movie...hmm...I thought Wolverine was overpowered, actually. XD)

T.R.S. Crusader-Didymus' quarters

Didymus paused.

"You went to work for him? On the Normandy, we didn't have Caraway in our chain of command...I suppose you could be referring to something else...and even so...yeah, girl like her. I can imagine she was probably fuming when she saw that news broadcast of the President decorating us and hailing us as "heroes of the Republic"." He grinned, shaking his head.

"Ah...memories. Speaking of them...you remember what Soryu's like. Heck, you worked alongside her, you'd know better than I would...you're really gonna just...you know...leave me to face her? Huh. Some friend you are." he chuckled.


With that, he found Asuka...

"Alright, Miss Soryu, sorry about that, but you know how things are...when a flag officer calls, you don't dawdle. Anyway, let's see if we can find you a proper berth, shall we? To that end, I need to know...did you ever get a proper rank?"

Asking Asuka about official ranks right after finding her again...yeah, this was already off to a great start.

((Oooh! XD Yeah, I have no plans for that kind of stuff. Asuka & Rei do have somewhat of a mutation going on, but it’s manifesting in more of a Parasite Eve way… and no, I’m not saying Mitochondrial DNA is actually evil prehistoric parasites, I just happen to like Parasite Eve. XD))

[TRS Crusader]

Sama shook his head.

“If you recall, I was a Captain when we met. Sure, they made me an officer because of… what happened at Garden…”

He was referring to Cid Kramer dying by his hand, but it was not something he liked to speak about whenever he could help it. Killing a man who had been like a father to him was just about the most painful thing Sama had ever done.

“I worked for Caraway for a little while before I was assigned to the Normandy. The original plan was for me to continue working for him indefinitely, but that changed when… well, we had a falling out. I’d rather not talk about the specifics.”

[…]

Asuka nodded her head.

“Of course I did. Everyone in Philanthropy has a rank… heck, we ARE a military unit, we’re just… secret. And we don’t always follow the same procedures as the regular military does… and we do have orders/permission to investigate other members of the military if they come up in connection with our investigations…”

Asuka paused. “… I could go on, but since all this stuff is classified, I probably shouldn’t. Anyway, if it really matters I’m a Sergeant. Yes, that’s right, I’m that high up!”

Of course, Asuka’s rank was high for an enlisted soldier, but still miles below Didymus’ officer rank. Still, it probably was a surprise that someone with as many problems with authority as Asuka ever managed to get a promotion.

(If it's simple mutation brought on by ungodly NERV crud, it should be fine. I think it wasn't exactly that in X-Men...despite the term "mutant", I heard that the X-Gene spontaneously appeared in a manner consistent with evolutionary theory...but now we're getting off-subject. XD

And wait...

OH GOSH. So you DO intend to have Rei turn into a giant spider-monster and go postal on the crew, don't you?XD)

T.R.S. Crusader

Didymus blinked, then grinned.

"Sergeant, you say? Somehow, the image of someone like you doesn't come to mind when I hear the term "Sarge"...of course, someone like me rarely comes to mind when "the colonel" is tossed around, so I suppose I can't really point the finger...but perhaps you should know something...Rei is a Second Lieutenant (isn't she, I think we mentioned Rei's rank a long time ago XD). Keep that in mind."

Shoot. The name "Rei" instead of "Ayanami" had slipped out again. He tried to cover it by simply ignoring it.

"Anyway, I suppose that means that we'll get you an enlisted-level bunk..."

He accessed his PDA.

"There's an empty bunk in a quarters near the simulator room. I take it you'll like that? I wish we could get you something a bit closer to the officer's quaters, or at least in a place where you won't likely be heckled or even discriminated against for traveling in officer's company for so long...but I take enough risks simply allowing you to eat with us..."

He pointed out the location of Asuka's new quarters to her on a holographic map of the ship his PDA was projecting.

And then, he sighed.

His work was done, for the time being. He actually had some free time.

He still wondered how Rei was doing, but first.

"I think that's all I've got for you, Miss Soryu. For now, at least. Do you have anything else for me? ...preferably BESIDES taunts, insults, or generally nasty quips?"

He was smirking at her.

Jagan continued the controlled assault, punching, kicking, and generally making hostile movements. Soon, his punches became even quicker as his eyes began to glow again, continuing the assault at much higher speeds. His limbs seemed to blur at points as he struck multiple times in the same area so quickly that it looked like one strike.

And then, after a particularly strong-looking blow, he stopped... And backed away. He still remained expressionless, but there was something else in his eye. Almost like... Satisfaction.

"Good. You have achieved focus. Watching your opponent move is often the most difficult thing to do, especially when you know he is likely to harm you. Next lesson."

He put one hand over the other a fist, bowing again, and took up a stance. "This time, I will interspace light blows with feints. Focus the same way, watch my motions. Watch how I move when I feint, watch for the same movement when it actually strikes. Whenever I will strike a light blow, I want you to bring a forearm in the way, either arm is fine. Do not be discouraged if you do not see through a blow: you are learning, and learning through mistakes is often much more effective than through success."

And he continued. A fast jab towards the center of her chest, full spin around for another controlled non-touch with a straight left, but then he sent a punch with his left that WOULD connect lightly with her shoulder. And he didn't stop there, but continued, making the entire "fight" look like one continuous motion on his part.

(Lightly DOES mean lightly in this case. It's not the "leave a bruise" lightly, it's the "poke you in the side with a forefinger" lightly.)

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

Visser Three’s Blade Ship

chaos batted away another laser blast that whizzed by his ear and again threw a ball of kinetic force down the corridor. He was actually rather surprised: while back when he was running amongst Burke's guards he ran out of power quickly, this time he was still going strong, and could continue to use both of his abilities extensively.

Was it because Burke had more powerful weapons? Or was the aim of his soldiers just much better? Whatever the case, chaos continued to defend the group, throwing a ball of force, a disc, or sometimes just blowing a powerful "gust" of kinetic energy down the corridor. It was never enough to kill anything, but he disoriented and knocked out more than a fair share of opponents.

After all, KOS-MOS needed a balance to her lethal weaponry.

"More are coming, Jenny, you miiiight want to hurry up! I can't hold them back for too long, and I'm not the best when it comes to melee combat!"

((XD I meant more of what happened to Aya. The spontaneous creation of various powers. Mainly Parasite Eve II stuff, such as shooting a fireball, a medicinal power that allows for speedy recover from injuries, ect… It’s getting hard thinking of new powers. XD))

[TRS Crusader]

Asuka shrugged. “Yeah, I know Ayanami’s my superior… she also has the personality of a pet rock. I doubt rank matters to her at all. And anyway, if any of your men heckle me, I’ll beat the s--- out of them.”

She was dead serious. Asuka was a teenage girl on a ship full of trained soldiers and was threatening to beat them up. The scary thing was she could probably back that threat up.

When he announced he was ready to leave, she just shook her head. “I’m not in the mood to insult you right now. Though I assume you’re off to see REI aren’t you? Tell her to get better soon.”

"A pet rock?" Didymus asked. "Scalding appraisal as usual, Miss Soryu. Although I can certainly see why you say that...hopefully she'll see a change for the better...but I would think that rank does matter to her-considerably so. Wasn't she renowned for following her orders to the letter, without question or a moment's pause? Although it was strange, when she first went blind...several officers ordered her to move, and she didn't-"

He stopped. This was more information than Asuka needed to know.

"And I trust you will refrain from assaulting your fellow servicepersons simply because of some insults. And try to minimize the amount of times I'll hear about you blowing a fuse, would you, please?"

“I’m not in the mood to insult you right now. Though I assume you’re off to see REI aren’t you? Tell her to get better soon.”

"I AM probably going to see R-Miss Ayanami-" he actually caught himself this time, which could have an even worse effect than simply saying "Rei" and moving on.

"-do you have a problem with me tending to the welfare of my squad?"

(Actually, the X-Gene from X-Men is a horrible example of evolutionary science. Evolution does not work that way. XD)

-Nova's Ship-

Galv watch Jagan and Melanie, twitching slightly as the male attacked Melanie, though lightly. He was, after all, her boyfriend.

He didn't move though, but did look annoyed.

[. . .]

“If you say so,” Ethan smirked, “I'm sure I can take it though.”

Samuel paused, poking his head into the room.

“...You know, you adults fight more then the kids...” he commented.

[. . .]

Erin grinned, leaning into Jason now. Erin was...weird, if you couldn't tell.

“So...do you want to?” Erin wondered.

-Visser Three's Blade Ship-

“I'm working on it!” Jenny yelled back, “I don't have as much experience as my father!”

Suddenly, the entire ship shook, and the power flickered, the lights going out.

There was a second, and back up power came on, red lights flashing.

Metal crunched, and a large figure stepped into the hallway, where Jenny was attempting to reconfigure the elevator, and chaos and KOS-MOS were.

“TENNYSON!” the figure roared, with a hiss, his arms becoming larger, more powerful.

The voice reverberated throughout the ship, Ben/Swampfire freezing.

“No...” he said, “He couldn't be...”

Vilgax...

-Zohar-

The Doctor managed to get out of the headquarters, stopping by his concealed T.A.R.D.I.S. He activated his Sonic Screwdriver, and the large blue box appeared. Unlocking it, he stepped inside, closing the door behind him.

“So Burke's a Time Lord...This is...interesting...” The Doctor frowned. “Alright then...”

“Hey, you want them unharmed, you tell them to behave around a lady. If they’re too disrespectful for that, they deserve an ass-kicking.”

Asuka was as blunt as ever.


"-do you have a problem with me tending to the welfare of my squad?"


“Suuuure, you’re just doing your job, is that it?” Asuka said with a grin plastered on her face. “Or… could it be you think you’ve got a shot with little miss no-personality?”

Asuka was as blunt and as mean as ever.

((I could have made her response SO much worse; but I refrained the temptation to do so.))

[Visser Three’s Blade Ship]

The entire ship gave a lurch and KOS-MOS wondered if that meant Jenny was done. When a towering figure appeared, she assumed that it was not that and transfigured her hands into swords.

“… You seem like the commanding type. Surrender and call off your forces at once, or you will be destroyed.” KOS-MOS said in her robotic monotone.

Kevin’s eyes widened… this was bad.

"Most proper LADIES, Miss Soryu, observe a code of conduct that generally involves, in some way, shape, or form, being humble. Some food for thought."

“Suuuure, you’re just doing your job, is that it? Or… could it be you think you’ve got a shot with little miss no-personality?”

Asuka had threatened him before. She had raged at him before. She had put him down, ranted at him, tried to claim credit for victories his men had won, and even tried to kill him in personal (mech) combat (to be fair, at the time, he had done the same to her).

But only NOW did Asuka finally see him flinch, as blood rushed to his cheeks and he actually was silent for a moment.

"W-what?! What manner of man do you take me for? What kind of officer? Fraternization regulations strictly forbid such relationships. A-and besides...she's a couple years my junior (although he suddenly got a feeling that that was irrelevant), according to her dossier, and those red eyes are so unnerving, and...she may not even qualify as human..."

He WOULD straighten himself up and calm himself in a moment, but Vidit wants to give Asuka the chance to comment on his rambling.

“Never let them see you sweat on your first cruise.” It was a good rule of thumb for most things in life. The moment one showed a sign of weakness in front of an enemy, that enemy would be ready to pounce.

The second Didymus flinched; Asuka’s grin grew three sizes. Just as a shark could sense blood in the water thanks to electrical impulses and went into frenzy, Asuka was now in frenzy.

“Ha ha ha… talky-talky-talky! You can deny it all you want, but that expression is answering much louder than your words. Naughty-naughty, Colonel! Trying to take advantage of your subordinates! Hmm… maybe I now have a way of getting a quick promotion!”

Asuka was just downright ruthless. There’s teasing and then there’s being a jerk.

Didymus had to stop this. It was bad enough that someone had gotten him into a stuttering mess on his own ship, a subordinate, no less, but it had to be HER of all people...


...he straightened up, and took a deep breath, raising an eyebrow. Gone was the nervous, stuttering teenage-guy-shy-about-girls look, and it was replaced once again with his own slight smirk that seemed to exude a sense of calmness, confidence, and intellect.

"...Miss Soryu...regardless of whether or not your accusations are actually CORRECT, is that a hint of JEALOUSY I detect in your voice? If your definition of "taking advantage" happens to be building friendships and trust which will pay off in battle, then yes, I AM taking advantage of my subordinates. As for YOU...thanks for the heads up. As you seem to have the misguided belief that courting me now will lead to a promotion, I now know what you're REALLY after if you start flirting with me-which would be a violation of regulations. Nonetheless, if you're really so WORRIED that, as you say, "little miss no-personality" will upstage you in my favor, you can certainly come along to check on her with me...", he said, turning and beginning to walk to the lift/sick bay.
