Mobius colony orbit When Didymus heard that the prisoners had escaped, he felt panic...and even anger. Then came Sama's call. "Really...?" Didymus paused. "Colonel Mustang, I'm going to have to ask you to please stand down..." Meanwhile, the metarex commander noticed he was being chased...gatling guns reflected off his armor, did soem damage...but his mech launched even MORE drones...some behind him, some ahead of him-the ones behind him projected a hemisphereical force field, attempting to shield him from the munitions heading towards him-the ones in front formed a sort of portal-a warp gate. He slipped through it, and it dissipated behind him! The ships in his fleet began performing similar functions-those that could. "FORWARD!" Didymus cried. "Prevent as much of their escape as possible!" He was himself locked in combat, trying to do just that. |

Mobius Colony Orbit Jagan, having lost his target, could not follow. Tracking a spatial jump would take too long, and he had to remain stationary for the tracker to work. The distortion barely lasts several seconds after dispersal of the gate, so he just didn't have time. Trying to follow would be suicide with two almost-destroyed shields and a speed-based mecha. So he went for the alternative. Destroying as much as he could form the remaining forces without letting them escape. It was a worthy goal, considering how many enemies were left, and considering his current low level of self-defensive abilities. But how to eliminate a lot of the enemy at once... ... Well, there's an idea! "Sama, please do not be alarmed. In a few moments, I will fire directly for your Energy Conversion Vectors. The resulting overcharge should activate an overcharge system on the Stormclaw, which will enable it to release a large-area burst of Arc Lightning. Commencing." So speaking, he dove through the enemy ranks, switching his gatling guns for a single cannon, the signature multi-laser cannon of the Andromeda. Then, he began to charge it as he evaded shot after shot, letting his shields absorb the minimum of damage. 200 meters away from edge... One shield went down. 100 meters away from edge... Second shield wend down. Jagan barely managed to burst out of the enemy ranks unharmed, throwing Metarex craft left and right from its location, aligned all thrusters in a single direction and blasted off. The cannon's status blipped on his screen, showing Overcharge of 120%. Jagan fired, hundreds of seeking laser shots heading right towards Sama's mech, all aimed so they would not hit Sama himself. The Andromeda continued to try and evade while keeping itself at a good pace towards the allied, getting scorch marks for his efforts from behind... |

[Mobius Colony Orbit] "Sama, please do not be alarmed. In a few moments, I will fire directly for your Energy Conversion Vectors. The resulting overcharge should activate an overcharge system on the Stormclaw, which will enable it to release a large-area burst of Arc Lightning. Commencing." Had Sama been as paranoid as his old friend Didymus, he likely would have objected to the idea of letting Jagan shoot him repeatedly in the back. As it was, Sama wasn’t entirely comfortable with the idea… but so far the Stormclaw’s energy wings had worked like a charm, so he might as well go for it. “Affirmative Jagan! Let’s take down as many of these bastards as we can!” Sama called back. He then called to Crystal. “Crystal, I appreciate the shielding, but I’m going to have to break away! Turns out me getting shot is the new plan – go fig.” He darted to the side, out of her bubble shield, and was then shot several times by Jagan’s lasers. The Stormclaw shook and sensors were going off, but as he watched the dials he saw the energy levels rising… and he grinned, activating his Lightning-Arc! Sending a massive wave of arching lightning from his Mech’s claws, Sama was able to cover a great deal of the Metarex; destroying some completely, causing massive damage to others, and inflicting at least significant damage to others still. “… I LOVE THIS MECH!” Sama called loudly. Sure, he missed the Dragon Star King… but Stormclaw was just freakin’ epic. Even as Sama and Jagan were tag-teaming to rack up a massive kill count, Asuk and Rei were still moving strong. Rei briefly paused in her rapid firing as she noticed Jagan… there was something about that guy that reminded her of the old days, and of NERV. She placed a com-link call to him. “Excuse me. Have we met?” Rei asked simply, as if she was walking up to someone in a café, and not calling him in the middle of a bloody space battle. Asuka, meanwhile, was locked in combat! [NL Apocalypse] When Nova appeared in front of them, Luna took a few steps back to allow her boss to do as he pleased. Rica, on the other hand, plastered a stern look on his face. He gave Kanna’s hand a reassuring squeeze, and then decided to speak up. “Kanna would like to see her son’s body. She intends to return to Earth for his funeral and his burial. Although our current legal status makes this a complicated, I have assured her that this will happen no matter what. For now, though, she just wants to see him.” Nova’s shields over the Medical Bay made it impossible for them to access Jason’s body. Rica intended to change that. [TRS Crusader] By now, Cyborg was running throughout the ship, using his sensors to scan for any sign of explosives. For a long time, he didn’t find anything… and then he got a ping! He looked to a door… it was heavily locked, and for good reason: It was the armory. “… Oh snap…” Victor whispered. Inside the armory, Mustang had planted a second bomb… on top of a pile of missiles. […] Mustang, meanwhile, was hiding… but even as he was, a marine team was already in pursuit. Leon and Zell were both looking for him, too. |

-T.R.S. Crusader- “Colonel Didymus,” Omega said, standing in front of the armory, sending him a message, “I regret to inform you that I could not keep the prisoners in the cells. Colonel Mustang attempted to detonate a bomb within the cell blocks, and is currently a larger threat. I am attempting to find and defuse other bombs within the ship.” He pressed the control panel to the armory, opening the door. “A bomb has been detected in the armory. I shall defuse it, find Colonel Mustang and capture him, then get the prisoners back in their cells.” He paused, turning off his communications, and looked to Victor. “Do not enter this armory. Search for other bombs. I shall defuse this one,” Omega stated, then boosted inside, heading for the bomb... -NL Apocalypse- Ethan wondered how The Doctor was doing in getting them off the hook. “If you try to stop us,” Ethan then said, directing his attention to Nova, “Then it will not be pretty...” -Earth: Capitol- “You know, this is about the NERV people. The ones with super powers, to but it bluntly,” The Doctor mentioned. He figured he might be able to just take the T.A.R.D.I.S. into the President's chambers directly, but that would probably get him shot and even further from his goal. “One of them is dead now, because they're to afraid of their own government. Of their own species,” The Doctor continued, “They need help. And either you are going to let me talk to the president, or I will find another way...” |

NL Apocalypse Desty Nova nodded. "Sure! Come along then, I can hardly refuse the mother the right. My apologies for taking him away to a secured location, but you must understand that several people here myself included, were quite curious about him as well. I would not have put it past Sechs to try and find out why I was so curious, for instance." As he talked, he began to lead the pair away, heading down the hallway to where blast doors have long closed away the hallway. He stepped to the door, put his hand on it and there was a beep, before the red lining turned green and the door opened up. He repeated the same with two more pairs of blast doors before they got to the Medical Bay. There, Desty Nova took them both right in, and walked over to one of the pods on the far side of the room. He clicked a few buttons, and the clear cover de-iced, revealing Jason's features. He was cryo-frozen, and the only damage was the large hole in his chest where he was pierced. He looked at the boy for a few more minutes, before stepping away and speaking quietly. "Here. The body is not yours, however, so I would not appreciate any sort of attempts to sabotage it. I will be outside." And he stepped out, surprisingly empathic at the moment. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mobius Colony Orbit Jagan, having finally made it out of threat range, let the Shield Vectors return to te body of the Andromeda, finally allowing them to recharge. He took a deep breath and let it out, watching the fireworks as lightning played across the field, decimating over half of the escaping forces in just one attack wave. Nova really outdid himself. When the transmission came in, he looked directly at the pilot, and seemed to lapse into thought. In reality, the Andromeda swerved a bit, and again entered combat, though this time staying well away from large concentrations of enemy forces, and picked them off one by one. "... I do not have very good recollection of all of the faces I have seen in my lifetime. Due to some rather questionable experimentation, many faces seem to blend together during a few of my years. However, you do indeed look familiar, as if I have seen you years before." He destroyed another enemy craft with ease, following his usual zigzag tactic. "While you do look familiar, your name is not familiar to me. I am unsure whether it is my memory mixing your appearance with another or if I have met you before. Is there a particular reason for you to ask such a question?" |

[TRS Crusader] As Omega entered the armory, Cyborg was already working on the bomb. There was a complication, though – this one was different than the type Mustang had left in the brig. This bomb was far more complex, and had many built in firewalls. Of course, Cyborg was an even more complex machine, and he had something more complex than any computer – a human brain. In his case, a human brain that worked seamlessly with the machinery built into it and around it. “Omega, I could use some help… this one’s a lot trickier. No idea on a timer either.” Cyborg grinned. The high pressure situation was actually kind of fun. The bomb suddenly beeped – and Cyborg gasped and cried out in pain. “Damn! The firewall had a virus built it… if I disconnect to stop the virus, I won’t be able to disarm the bomb… gotta risk it!” [NL Apocalypse] Rica was overcome with relief when Nova decided not to cause problems with Kanna’s request, and slowly followed along behind the doctor, keeping his hand locked on Kanna’s the entire time as a show of support. He did not know what to expect when they got there, but when they did arrive and he saw the cryo-frozen corpse, he closed his colorless eyes. ‘Sh-t. He’s planning something. This is going to get complicated.’ Rica thought, now afraid that he was going to find himself embroiled in yet another conflict. "Here. The body is not yours, however, so I would not appreciate any sort of attempts to sabotage it. I will be outside." Rica swore mentally again. This would be trouble. He let go of Kanna’s hand, and then followed Nova out. Once outside, he looked to Nova with his face darkened. “Professor… I’ll be very blunt: Kanna intends to take her son to Earth to bury him. I don’t know what ridiculously false notion you have in your head that “the body is not her’s”, but IT IS. If you have plans otherwise, forget them.” His face took an even more grim tone. “I appreciate that which you have done for us; however… if you in any way, shape or form try to block Kanna’s wishes in regards to her son, I will kill you where you stand.” [Mobius Colony Orbit] There was something deeply amusing about Rei and Jagan conversing. Both spoke in a very professional, very sophisticated and very polite manner. Both followed orders to the letter all of the time and both had very little in the way of emotions. Oh, and both had been subject to cruel and inhuman experiments that left them scarred in many ways. “I ask because you seem familiar to me. The way you fought in the battle was very familiar, although I cannot place where. I have been in many battles, with many people, and very rarely do I recall the others combatants. However, you seem to stick out in my mind.” Rei paused… and then asked another question. “Were you in NERV?” |

-T.R.S. Crusader- “Step away from the bomb,” Omega said, “I have an idea...” He approached the bomb, readying to pick it up. There was an airlock not to far from here... “It will mean neither of us gets a virus,” Omega added. Sentience had it's perks, after all. In the hallways, Silver was looking for somewhere to hide Cosmo, when he paused, coming across Mustang. He did not know who he was, after all, or that people were looking for him. “Uhhh, hey, do you know what this lockdown this is about?” Silver wondered. -NL Apocalypse- As Rica went to He wasn't sure of what the proper etiquette in this situation was. “I'm sure we'll get to Earth safely,” Ethan said, “I doubt anyone would be willing to stop you from having a funeral...” |

NL Apocalypse Desty Nova sighed. "I see. So you're THAT kind. I never thought I would have to clump you in with the rest, Mr. Rica. I am quite aware of the fact that the boy is dead. He is cry-frozen so hid body does not decompose before it can be buried with full ceremony. I thought you would have more respect for the dead, and yet here you are..." He leveled a glare at Rica, a glare that seemed to pierce right through those goggles. "Treating a corpse as nothing more than a possession to be handled. Last I heard and last I've seen, the body was JASON'S, not Kanna's. And whatever wishes HE had recorded before his death take PRECEDENCE over his mother's, don't you think?" He turned away from the man. "I told you so beforehand. I intent to let you have him, and I intend to see the young man buried properly. And he will be. The body will be given to you the moment you can take care of the entire problem. The moment you intend to perform the ceremony would be the moment I will secede Jason to you. I hold no right to his body whatsoever, and I will not stand between the mother and her dead child. I would be a FOOL to do so, and Desty Nova is no fool." He then spun around, and snapped right into Rica's nose, his face set in a stormy expression that combined both fury and insanity. "I'll agree to the fact that I might have been misunderstood, and I have apologized. But you have dared once too much to threaten me, on my own ship on MY grounds. I am far beyond your feeble, meager attempts to throw me into a false sense of fear. You can't kill me, Mr. Rica. You will NEVER be able to kill me." He stepped back and sighed. "I do not wish to gain enemies here. You are more stressed than you have been in a long time, and it is understandable. I do not hold such behavior against you TOO much. Yet, if you intend on being my enemy from beginning to end, I am afraid that this is where our negotiations stop. Make your choice, Mr. Rica." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mobius Colony Orbit The answer was prompt and curt as usual, with Jagan not even flinching or moving his facial muscles in any sort of humane expression. He was like a robot talking. "Negative. I have not been a part of the NERV project, but I have been a subject of a standalone project that was being performed by The Master and a research team that was closely affiliated to NERV. I do not know if you would know of this project, but divulging this information over a common speaker would be both detrimental and dangerous." The Andromeda took down another unit with ease, moving on. Like a bolt of black and red it shot by Sama, Crystal, past both of them, past Didymus's squad and hit a pair of mecha that were trying to get away. "My style of piloting is aided by a style of melee and ranged combat specialization that was taught to me for 10 years. I am the only known practitioner, so it does not surprise me that you have recognized the style." |

[NL Apocalypse] Rica was unafraid of Nova. While the man had impressive technology and was certainly a dangerous person, Rica had been ‘killed’ numerous times. Besides, if it came to fighting for Kanna, the woman he loved, Rica was confident he could overcome any enemy, no matter the odds. Plus, Rica is kind of like a cockroach. Sure, he’s smooth and charming at times, but no matter what you do to the guy, he just won’t die. He’s stubborn like that. “Most teenagers do not have wills, Professor Nova, given that most teenagers do not die such as this. As it stands that I doubt he had any recorded wishes, it is his mother’s choice.” When Nova went into his ‘scary speech’ Rica stood with an amused grin on his face. He had no doubt that Nova could put up a very good fight, and cause Rica much grief and much pain – but in the end, Rica was confident that he could kill the man. Easily? Oh, hell no. But Rica was very good at killing people… he had, after all, single-handedly taken down the Dark Mech who had devastated both the Republic and Rebellion back in the day. “Professor Nova, so long as you do not plan to stand in Kanna’s way, we have no quarrel with one another. I threatened you because it was my understand that you had intention of giving Kanna the body of her son, which is something I cannot stand for. You have my apologies.” Rica could be pretty civilized when he wanted to be. “I have no intention of being your enemy, Professor Nova. However, my priorities are my adopted son Felix, Kanna and her daughter. If I have to, for their sake, I would kill any one I had to, be it you, the entire Republic army, or the entirety of the Metarex all by myself. Like I said, though, I do not desire that we be enemies. Good day, Professor Nova.” Only Jackson David Rica could have a civil discussion about how he would hypothetically kill millions of people for the sake of a teenage boy, a single mother and her kid. [Mobius Colony Orbit] As Rei listened to Jagan, she remembered some details from her time at NERV. She could recall one day being told that they would be training with a team from an ‘other project’. “I see. Yes. I recall who you are now. I was a part of NERV…” She said nothing else, instead just proceeding to blow up some of the remaining Metarex. [TRS Crusader] Cyborg looked to Omega, and shook his head. “Hold on! It’s a graviton bomb – meaning when it explodes, it will create an intense and sudden gravitation pull; if it’s anywhere close to this, or any other ship, it will crush it like a tin can!” Victor shook his head, trying to disable the firewall. If he could reroute the virus in a circular fashion, he could send it back into the bomb and disable it that way – reversing its own security against it! “Omega, I have an idea, but I’ll need your help.” Cyborg explained the plan. ((I actually like the airlock idea, AGOI, but I referred to the bomb as a graviton bomb already earlier, so that’s why I had to do this. XD)) […] In the hallway, Silver bumped into Mustang. He frowned at the small mobian. “I don’t have time to talk now.” |

NL Apocalypse "Good day. Mister Rica." Desty Nova turned away as Rica walked off, doubtlessly returning to Kanna's side. When he was out of earshot, Desty Nova finally looked around, a rather menacing grin on his face. "Threatening me... You best hope you're quiet as a mouse from now on Rica... Lest you find yourself on the operating table with me as judge, jury and executioner..." Then, he teleported back to the Bridge, sat down and continued to peruse the file he was looking at before Luna called him away. However, he had one more thing to do. "Luna... Be a dear and watch this Rica character for me. I have a feeling he will try something... Uncouth." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mobius Colony Orbit Most of the enemies were destroyed by now, and Jagan wasn't even trying anymore. Zig-zagging and spiraling around opponents became far too easy. He didn't even have to dodge much anymore, and the shields were utterly pointless. His own mecha was so far superior to any average metarex fighter that barely any effort needed to be put into the destruction of said unit. Jagan, while piloting, gave Rei an answer. "Very well. We shall speak more of this when the battle is over entirely and when we recollect within the Crusader." |

[NL Apocalypse] Rica was not, nor would he be, intimidated. If he had to, there were several ways in which he could handle most any situation… and if things got truly dangerous – on a level like nothing he had experienced with the battle with the Dark Mech – Rica did have one trick up his sleeve that guaranteed a win. Then again, with Kanna and the kids on the Apocalypse, he had a rather obvious weakness that a heartless madman could exploit. He indeed returned to Kanna’s side, shaking his head. […] “… I shall do so sir, but I ask you to remember that all of them are grieving. I shall not allow any of them to take any form of action against you, but you should not hold their words against them.” While Nova might have been ‘eccentric’, Luna actually had a large heart. She had learned that from Maria and Gerald. Make no mistake, she would not disobey Nova’s orders, but she would urge him to show compassion. [Mobius Colony Orbit] “I would like that.” Rei said simply, before she started unleashing more rapid-fire shots from her machine-laser-gun. |

Mobius colony orbit The battle was over. Didymus waited. "Crusader, how we doing." "Still at risk, sir. Don't come in." "Understood. Everybody, the Crusader is not secure, don't head to it." Still, though the fighting was over, the day's events, or, rather, things that had been brought up in it, now hit him full force-it was safe (comparatively) for him to think about them, now. He heaved a heavy sigh, and slumped in his chair. T.R.S. Crusader At the site of the bomb, one of the crew's bomb squads had arrived, and offered their help. Their advanced equipment and technical expertise had to count for something. |

[TRS Crusader] Armory Between Cyborg, Omega and the bomb squad, the graviton bomb finally WAS disabled. The bomb squad was able to bypass the firewalls, and Cyborg (and presumably Omega) was able to disable some of the last few layers of security. With the bomb disarmed, Cyborg paused and looked over to Omega. “… Alright, I think we’re clear from that threat. I’ve scanned the ship, but I can’t find any other explosives… well, aside from the one’s that are SUPPOSED to be here. Omega, I’ll stand down.” Victor wasn’t here to make trouble. […] Meanwhile, Mustang headed towards an escape pod. Yes, they were under heavy security and a lockdown – but Mustang had broken out his secret weapon: robotic gloves that acted as flamethrowers! He was ready to fight his way to the escape pod. Surely his employer would help him if he could manage to avoid being taken into custody… besides, he had stolen a few Philanthropy records, those had to be worth something to his boss. As he moved towards the escape pod, though, a pinwheel fired into his back. He yelled out in pain, but was suddenly hit with a nunchaku and knocked down; and then a pair of fists connected with his face and upper torso several times. “… This is PFC Zell Dincht! We’ve got Mustang, sir!” Zell called over a communicator. “… I also have the prisoners, Rinoa Heartilly and Selphie Tilmitt (and perhaps Quistis as well?); they helped me apprehend him!” |

GRAPPLING HOOK!

NL Apocalypse Nova finally arrived, leading the small group to where Jason was being kept. All the while Kanna kept cool, but inside it seemed as if she was having a miniature panic attack. While she seemed to be horribly afraid of seeing her son in this state she knew it would be good for her, and a way to get the picture of a bloody Jason and deranged Walter out of her head. She walked stiffly forward, stopping in front of the capsule that Nova motioned towards. Slowly she looked down into it and tried not to make any noise. There was her son, lying perfectly still as if he were sleeping. He looked exceedingly pale now, and his dark hair stood out as a contrast more than ever. She hadn't noticed Rica leaving, but instead was too busy trying to stay upright at the sight of her son. She noticed Jason looked cleaned up a bit, perhaps done in effort to keep him here...He really did look like he was just sleeping....But the giant hole was still in her chest was enough to make make Kanna cover her mouth before giving a muffled cry. It was a pretty obvious reminder that the boy was dead. Above then a light fizzled and cracked, the fuse blown. Kanna stumbled back a bit before stopping, regaining herself and looking back at the boy. She felt like an idiot for thinking this would work. Instead it was making her teeter on the edge or being sick or passing out. But it was hard just leaving her son here. He had been her baby, and even if it was horribly difficult to admit it Jason had been her pride and joy, often taking on responsibilities that she herself didn't seem to be able to accomplish. He took care of matters even as a child, taking care of Melanie when she was too busy or upset to do so. She would be eternally grateful to the boy. "Oh Jason..." she mumbled, touching the chamber he was kept in. It was cold to the touch. [...] Melanie REALLY wasn't used to being the strong one. She just wanted to lock herself in her room and cry. But she couldn't do that. Jason made sure that she knew that she needed to take what life gave her and handle things. That's what they always did, when mom got complicated, when they were moving constantly, and now this. "Jason wouldn't want you to cry..." Melanie said quietly. T.R.S. Crusader- "W-what's going on?!" Cosmo asked urgently, covering her ears (?) in attempt to block out the blaring noise. She had a feeling she knew what is was though, as alarms often sounded similar no matter where you are from. And they usually mean the same thing... Trouble. |

[NL Apocalypse] Rica had returned to Kanna’s side after his ‘conversation’ with Desty Nova. He saw that Kanna was not looking well, and that the sight of her son’s remains was clearly a difficult thing for her to swallow. He walked closer to her, wanting both to give her space, but also to be there for her. He wished there was something he could have done. At that moment, if he could have, Rica would have traded his immortality if it meant giving the boy back that which Walter had taken. Yet, Rica could not do that… the curse of those who cannot die, is watching those who can die, do so. He wondered what Kanna was thinking about. Memories, no doubt, both good and bad ones… and yet at a time like this, even the bad memories must have seemed like pleasant dreams. He placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. He did not speak – right now, he did not think it was appropriate. Still, he wanted to convey to her that she was not alone. No matter what, she was not alone. |
