Underground Warehouse

Batman seemed to ignore Darkwing's critique of his name, as he drove his elbow into the back of a large porcupine mobian's head.

“...” Batman jumped into the air, twirling like a circus acrobat and then bringing his foot down on another henchmen's face.

“I like the name. It's always served the man who uses it.” Batman replied.

Negaduck, meanwhile, decided it was time to call in the bigger guns. He pressed a button on his belt and sent a signal... and then a green blur shot through the door and delivered a spin-dash to Batman, knocking him down with unbelievable speed!

The green blur then shot at Darkwing!

Desty Nova looked at the damaged mechanical construct in front of him, and started to compare signatures again. Again, watching the wavelengths mismatch, he shook his head.

"... Well, it looks like I was mistaken after all."

The man walked forward up to the construct that blocked the passageway, looked over it and sighed. He placed a hand on the metal, looking somewhat sadly at it.

"Und lara khar..."

He turned to Luna, and smirked.

"This, my dear, is the shell of a Dragoon, a fallen Protoss Warrior whose body was placed within this construct to continue his service. It looks like he has yet again fallen in service to the Protoss hierarchy."

He began to examine the damage.

"Strange... He died very recently... Who, I wonder, had the ability to do this..."

[---]

chaos winced. These Zerg sounded like they were an even worse version of those aliens he met earlier, the slug-like Yeerks that infested the minds of others and took position in any society as perfect spies.

It was a horrible thought. The sort of thing KOS-MOS was describing was on an even more massive scale.

"Are the Zerg still out there? Do we still have to fear their race, fear an attack from them? I have not read much in the way of records about the Zerg, I do not know what they are capable of..."

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

Ragnarok Holodeck

Jagan wasn't expecting the rush of memories to hit him. Unlike Rei's mind, which held the memories and flashes as her own, Jagan witnessed this in a completely foreign way. The memories swept him up, making him wince on the outside as his mind went into overdrive, processing the information.

In seconds, it was gone, and left Jagan breathing harder than normal.

"That was... Curious... I did not think the ink allowed us t view each other's memories. Nevertheless... Who was that woman with red hair? My apologies, but I have seen that shape before, in a dream that was not my own. I am curious as to how you know that woman."

He rubbed his temples, echoes of a headache running rampant in between his fingers. Luckily, he was used to chronic headaches, and was capable of handling it well enough.

"And that boy... Are those your memories?"

Luna's gasp was audible when Nova explained what the odd broken 'machine' in front of them actually was. A Protoss Dragoon.

“A-Amazing... the warrior's instinct of the Protoss is so strong, they would place themselves inside a machine to keep fighting... truly a remarkable sight to behold.”

She had heard stories of the Protoss before. In her time since awakening from her cryogenic chamber, Luna had been searching for a brilliant enough mind to continue the research of the great Gerald Robotnik. She had sought out the Protoss before, but she was turned away.

Luckily for her, it turned out, since Nova seemed all the more capable.

“... If he died recently, then this planet may not be as abandoned as we thought.” Luna whispered and she felt fear. “Or... we may know why those settlements are all abandoned. No... no that makes no sense. Those settlements were clearly designed for humans, not Protoss, and they were aged and worn down...”

She rubbed her chin. “Humans came here, but something either overwhelmed them so utterly they didn't even put up a fight, or caused them to flee... and then the Protoss came, and we have a dead Dragoon...”

She snapped her fingers. “Wait! The psionic readings! The Protoss are psionic beings... and the readings were all over the human settlements... including some graves I tested... but that makes no sense. Why would the Protoss live in human buildings? And why, if the settlements are so dated, is this Dragoon's shell so fresh?”

Luna was raising a lot of interesting questions, but had little in the way of answers. She knew where to find them, though.

“... I take it you still wish to investigate the caverns?”

[…]

KOS-MOS shook her head.

“I do not know. The Zerg disappeared. A small group of them recently reappeared attacking the Forum on the same day as a the Metarex, but they were destroyed... there have been no other reported Zerg sightings. As far as anyone knows, they are gone forever.”

KOS-MOS paused.

“... They are capable of terrible things. The Protoss feared nothing. Neither I, nor Burke, nor any other Time Lord, nor the United Terran Republic, nor the Yeerks, nor any other race from any other planet... but they feared the Zerg. With the Metarex already threatening the universe, if the Zerg did reappear... it would likely be more than humanity could handle.”

She paused.

“... Be it the Metarex or the Zerg... humanity's time may be close to an end.”

[Ragnarok Holodeck]

Rei was confused, she was now standing up, and her entire body was shaking like a leaf on a tree in the middle of five tornadoes and a hurricane.

“I... I do not... I do not understand what those memories were... I do not recall the events depicted... nor do I... understand these feelings... is... this fear?”

She looked genuinely terrified for the first time in her life.

Galv pressed his forehead up to hers, the two's noses almost touching. Melanie smiled after he kissed her. "You don't have to apologize..Not for that"

She then looked back to the empty room, in which they were now playing house.

"Uh yeah! She ate all her food, she has an appetite like you" Melanie decided "A-And she even sparked a little bit.."

[...]

"Oh real convincing" Kanna stated, rolling her eyes "Don't tell me you didn't have any happy times without me around" she said, half teasing and half actually curious.

His life couldn't have been that bad without her right?

Flashback

Kanna felt like she was stuck between a rock and a hard place....This was a choice she never thought she would have to make, nor one that she ever expected to actually be considering.

She didn't want to go back with them....But she also didn't want something to happen to her baby....It wasn't their fault she had joined NERV....And Rica.

Gendo was promising them safety. She didn't believe it one bit...But considering her options.

"Fine...." she said, almost silently. Pathetically really.

Mobius

While most of the games seemed much too small for the couple, there was one thing that caught Crystal's eye as they passed by. The girl's eyes lit up and she stopped Sama pointing to the sign.

"Oooooooooooh! Fortune telling!!! Oh can we!?!"

“She did? Wonderful!” Galv smiled, keeping Melanie close to him, trying to imagine them both older.

“As for the sparking, well, that means we won't have to get a night light,” the red headed joked, “She'll be able to produce her own light.”

He paused, then added, “I wonder if she'll get your powers as well...Shadows and electricity...And our powers can work together to get even stronger...She'd be one powerful baby.”

Galv then led Melanie out of the room, looking for another one, “Well, while the baby's still asleep, what do you wanna do...dear?”

Underground Warehouse

Darkwing attempted to dodge, but the green figure was too quick, and he was thrown backwards, smashing into a large crate.

“Ohhh...did anyone get the number of the truck that hit me?” Darkwing muttered, as he shook his head. That had hurt...

Streets

“Down there!” Mickey shouted, as he and the others ran. He pointed to the same area Mallah had gone down, along with Darkwing following.

Sonic shot forward, as did Shadow, increasing their speed now that they knew where to go exactly.

Hopefully they wouldn't be too late.

Rica's face actually took on a more somber expression than it usually did.

“... No, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have other happy times. When I broke back into NERV to try to rescue you, after they separated us, I did save Felix's life. Getting to free someone else from that nightmare was a damn happy day. And there have been days when I've laughed, and thoroughly enjoyed myself...”

He let out a sigh. “... Still, I always regretted not being able to keep my promise to you. I said we'd run away together and get married, and I failed you. I just...”

He locked eyes with her. “I want another chance. I don't deserve one. I don't deserve your love after I've failed you so many times, but I still want it!”

[Flashback]

Gendo gave a rather large grin and stepped forward, clapping her on the shoulder.

“I knew you'd see it my way. The boy can't hear you, of course, but if you had any final words for him... now is your chance. You will never see him again.”

[Mobius]

Arcade

Sama raised an eyebrow as they arrived at a fortune telling sign. He shrugged, and although he didn't really believe in it, he had a feeling it would create some humorous foreshadowing.

“Sure thing!” He grinned to her, leading her into the fortune telling booth.

Underground Warehouse

Scourge the Hedgehog was now standing behind Darkwing. He had been that truck that hit him; and he kicked him again in the back! Then he jumped, spun around, and kicked him once more in the face!

“You'll NEVER catch me.” Scourge growled.

Flashback

Gendo touched her and instantly the girl stiffened, looking away as if she had signed a deal with the devil....Which she pretty much had. She knew what she did was the best for her...their child. Even if it seemed horrible.

The girl then looked down at Rica, bloodied and unconscious, but regaining his face after having it crushed. She walked to him shakily before bending down grabbing his hand. She had never been one for heartfelt speeches, but this was serious...

She knew he couldn't hear her talking...But she had to at least tell him.

"H-Hey....I'm sorry..For everything, especially thinking my stupid plans would work...I'm sorry they hurt you...And i'm sorry about this...I'll miss you...But...Well...I-I-I'm pregnant I guess...You're gonna be a dad...I'll take cake of him...Or her...And i'll tell them all about you every day..."

The girl moved his hand to her stomach. "I think it's a bit early for kicking...But...Well he's yours."

He was almost back to normal, if not bloody. She leaned down and kissed the top of his head. "Please don't do anything stupid in here...Don't die...I....Umm...Love you."

Mysterious Planet

Kanna groaned, pressing her lips against his, with a bit of difficulty (she was entirely too short...And this is why Kanna wears shoes.

"God, you talk to much." She muttered "I don't neither of us deserves the other" she noted, stone-faced at Rica's sudden exclamation. She really didn't know if she wanted to get in a relationship with this man again....She did love him though.

[...]

Melanie thought for a moment, wondering just what couples did when they weren't taking care of a baby or house. That was basically the entirely of playing house after all.

At least it was for GOOD LITTLE KIDS. And not the horrible old adults in the above post.

Melanie frowned and thought, leaning into Galv's ear as if to tell him some horrible secret.

"I don't really know what else people do when they're married" she admitted.

Mobius

Crystal seemed exceedingly pleased, pulling the boy to the booth which was owned by a small rodent Mobian, who seemed pleased to see two willing customers...With money.

"Weeeeeeeellllcooooome" She said, pulling out her her words in order to sound more mystical "Take a seat deal children...Oh on a date are we?"

"Oh she's right!" Crystal exclaimed excitedly, completely ignoring the fact that she was holding hands with the boy. It was a pretty big give away.

From her shoulder Shannon didn't seem impressed.

Underground Warehouse

Darkwing Duck was hit again, several times!

“Ugh...This...isn't good...But I won't...be defeated, evil doer!” Darkwing declared, stumbling back up.

“SPIRALING SONIC SPHERE!”

A blur of blue would be coming at Scourge, as Sonic the hedgehog held an orb of wind (think Rasengan), was aimed at the green hedgehog!

Sonic had arrived!

Shadow entered too, looking around and trying to get stock of the situation.

“...Hey, I always wanted one of these...” Shadow muttered, picking up a stray gun and inspecting it. Amy would probably glare at him for that or something. Or be too busy admiring Sonic fighting, most likely.

-Mysterious Planet-

Galv paused at Melanie's announcement. And he remembered what his father had told him.

“Ummm...ummm...me...neither?” Galv said, probably not very convincingly, “I guess we'd just do whatever we would normally do?”

He frowned now, trying to think.

“...We could...make out?” he suggested, now blushing again and looking at the floor. He is a teenage boy...

Didymus raised an eyebrow. Asuka sounded sincere, but she seemed to respect her other COs quite a bit more...

...then came her part about emotions.

"So you'd kill someone, but never play with their emotions?" he laughed. "If that first part only applied to your foes, I'd call it borderline honorable...but never play with their emotions? Really? What about at Augustgrad, then? I'm sure that some of what you did was a tad unnecessary..."

He was speaking somewhat...inquisitively, with an eyebrow raised.

He wasn't scolding her, at least, but inquiring/trying to call her out.

[Flashback]

Rica could not hear Kanna. He could not hear that he was going to be a father, nor could he heard how she had surrendered for the good of their child. He did not hear her promise, nor her sadness, nor her declaration of love.

He did see her, however, through blurry half-crushed eyes. He heard only mumbles, and he felt her lips on his head. He struggled to move, he tried to speak, to reach out and take her and hold her and protect her... but he could not.

And so, Rica simply lay there, broken and battered.

Gendo walked over and took Kanna by the arm once more.

“Let's go.”

He pulled her down the hallway. He knew it was now too dangerous to let the two stay together; but he did not mind their foolish escape attempts. Kanna was going to have a baby, and he was eager to see what the result would be.

[Mysterious Planet]

Rica was surprised as Kanna kissed him. She scolded him, and his stone face seemed to melt into a happy smile, not too different than his usual smirk, but far more genuine. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.

“... Maybe we don't... and I'll stop talking now if you'll preoccupy my lips.”

[Mobius]

Arcade

Sama took a seat and he decided to forget his skeptical ways and have some fun. Especially when Crystal confirmed that they were on a date. Sure, one could just assume that from a boy and a girl being together at a arcade... but then again she was too good for him, so maybe the woman did have psychic powers.

“So, Miss, ah, fortune teller... what do you see in our future?”

Underground Warehouse

Slam! Scourge was thrown back by the orb of wind and he spun around, creating a green tornado, until he finally skidded to a stop and looked over at Sonic.

He grinned.

“Weeeeeeeeeeeell, the other Hedgehog! I've heard of you. Soon, I'll replace you.” Socurge promise – and he shot at Sonic at top speed!

Negaduck, meanwhile, grabbed Darkwing's dropped smoke gun and shot at Shadow!

[Earth]

Asuka paused, and crossed her arms.

“... I don't know what that was. I guess, for a minute I thought...”

She hesitated, swore in German, and then turned around. “FORGET IT. I tried. You won't even give me a chance, always with the nagging and the complaining... just forget it.”

She looked upset. Really upset.

Desty Nova scanned the entire machine, making sure not to miss any minute detail that could be important. And his scans were starting to give him some really weird readings.

It has been some time since Dragoons were made. The Dragoons were previously developed and trained on the Protoss home world of Auir, which became a cesspool after some time. No one has been back to that planet to check what happened, and no one dared to return there in case the Zerg were still out there.

But here was an actual dragoon. So this was an old warrior.

One that would not be unskilled enough to fall in a place like this.

While Nova updated his schematics of Protoss mechanics (which he was always fascinated to study) he categorized the damage. The entire body had signs of warping. Something twisted metal like it was clay putty. They didn't look like melts, but there were marks of twisting and some pieces were warped way out of shape.

Desty frowned.

"Whatever damaged this Dragoon had an immense amount of energy potential behind it. This warping... It's not a melt mark, so something must have twisted the metal. Whatever hit him was either huge... Or psionically potent enough to twist metal like one would rubber. Perhaps an Archon...?"

He recorded all the damage, and peeked into the cavern.

"Of course I will go. Whatever is in there, it may help my research immensely."

[---]

chaos frowned as KOS-MOS calmly informed him in a rather defeatist way that humanity might very well be done for.

“... Be it the Metarex or the Zerg... humanity's time may be close to an end.”

That very sentence rubbed him the wrong way, but as he thought about it, he continued to speak.

"I really can't think in such a way. Humanity has survived for such a long time. Humans have evolved, thrived, and are already spreading through the galaxy. There have been times in history when the doom of humanity was almost assured. the invention of the Atomic Bomb. The American Cold War. The World Wars. They have all almost spelled certain doom, yet humans have survived."

His shook his head with a small smile.

"I doubt humanity will fall. They are too strong. Too resilient. Too adaptive. And while they are hard-pressed, there are those amongst humans that have the potential to do something to help on a large scale. You. Desty Nova. Others."

He sat up, crossing his legs and putting his elbows on his knees, the hands cupping together and holding up his chin.

"We can't think like that. Thinking that you will be defeated will turn it into a self-fulfilling prophecy. As long as humanity believes in their own survival, they will survive."

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

Ragnarok Holodeck

Jagan also stood up, thinking fast. Rei seemed to be shaking, from one thing or another, and she seemed to be truly fearful. Jagan wasn't sure how to take the situation. It appears that she was much more in tune with her emotions than he at first things, and put more value into them and her memories.

And due to the appearance of things that were neither hers nor his own seemed to frighten her. He admitted that it was a pretty frightening concept.

In any situation, he could always depend on one thing: that his mind was his own. With Rei that changed, and he shared this mind, which made things... Different. However, for a girl from NERV who was used to piloting a large machine with a berserk switch, her mind could be her only solace. It was broken, first by Jagan, and now by something entirely different.

Now, her mind no longer under her full control, it is possible to lose sight of reality. And Rei seemed to be suffering similar symptoms.

Jagan cursed internally at the NERV project. For all their fame, they seemed to be quite inept at dealing with base human emotions.

He walked around the table, standing beside Rei.

"It is imperative that you attempt to calm yourself. If you wish, I can attempt to help you."

Unfortunately, Jagan has never been taught the importance of contact in this situation. Being emotionally blank sometimes meant that he was quite oblivious.

Didymus actually paused, looking...concerned, even worried.

"A chance? What are you talking about...?"

He may have had a suspicion (because he had been paying attention and isn't entirely genera-blind), but he wanted to be careful...

Luna was worried about this. Everything Nova said made this Dragoon seem like a powerful warrior, and one that she would not have expected to see lying in a crumpled heap on the side of a mountain. While he finished his scans, she linked up with the Apocalypse on her PDA and took a quick glance at Nova's files on the Protoss.

When he mentioned an Archon, she looked it up and gasped. “If something like THAT is here... that is truly a terrifying thought.”

She put her PDA away, and stepped in front of him, walking into the cavern and holding her wand up. It sent out a light, illuminating the cavern like a torch.

“... Let me go first, sir. I have extensive combat experience, and while I may not look it... I was more than Gerald's assistant, I was one of his experiments as well. I can protect us if we find whatever killed that Dragoon.”

As they walked further into the darkness of the cavern, the two soon came upon another body – a Protoss Zealot, who was also freshly slain. There were two more Zealots ahead of that one, and then a second broken Dragoon.

“... What a slaughter...” Luna frowned, flashbacks of the day Gerald's lab was raided. “... We're getting close to whatever – AH!” She gasped.

Ahead of them was another protoss. This one was a High Templar, and he was still alive. He lay on the ground, bleeding from many wounds to his legs and torso, but he was moving.

[…]

“... I hope you are right.”

It was a surprising thing for KOS-MOS to say. She had in her memory banks detailed accounts of the history of humanity. News reports, literature, films, historical records stretching back to the days when man still marveled at the idea of going to the moon. Now they had reached for the stars and claimed them, and KOS-MOS had saved in her memory files on every step of that process.

She knew he was right; but that was not what made her words so strange. She HOPED he was right. She HOPED that humanity would survive. She, a cold, unthinking, unfeeling machine developed and built to be the perfect weapon of war. Her one purpose was to destroy and utterly end whatever she was against.

Knives, swords, machineguns, cannons and even a massive WMD were all housed in the girl's body via nanomachines. Her one purpose was to destroy... and now she hoped for humanity to escape destruction, to live, thrive and survive.

[Ragnarok Holodeck]

Rei's shaking only got worse. She looked horrified, and she soon was clawing at her sides.

“I... I... any help... would be most... appreciated...” Rei stammered. She still clawed at herself; at her back and her sides.

“... Please...”

[Earth]

“Argh, if you don't know by now...”

Asuka shook her head once more, and then very calmly and rationally kicked the wall as hard as she could. The various decorations on it shook but nothing fell down – and Asuka was left standing there, completely still and with a look of absolute pain on her face.

However, she did not scream, curse, cry or blow things up. She just shook a tiny bit, trying to maintain some sense of composure without letting out to how stupid what she just did was.

Jagan nodded firmly.

"Then it is best to begin immediately. First and foremost, you must recall the fear management training. Fear is simple: It's False Evidence Appearing Real. In general, fear is an unrealistic expectation of a negative, usually painful or unknown, outcome."

As he spoke, his voice almost took a hypnotic aspect as he leveled out. Whatever he was doing, he was lacing it with psionic energy. His empathy tuned up to its highest, he was able to easily pick up on Rei's own emotions. And, much like his own repressed emotions usually caused uncontrollable cascades.

He briefly sighed in relief as Rei had a cascade here, and not in the seat of a mecha or on any other battlefield. That would be disastrous.

"Close your eyes. Take a deep breath, and let it out. Repeat the gesture, focus only on the breathing. Do not remain standing, take a seat, because you will be going through a short meditation."

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

Mysterious Planet

Desty Nova was in heaven.

Sure, he was amongst dead bodies. Sure, the place reeked of alien blood. But at the same time, he looked absolutely ecstatic as he danced in between the bodies, scanning them one after another, completing his records on Protoss physiology, technology, and even taking small chip samples of the metals they used.

And through it all, he made note of the fact that almost all of these aliens were subject to warping, much similar than the dragoon outside. He grinned massively as Luna offered to go forward.

"Do go ahead if you wish! But I can assure you that I am far from defenseless here, and I can hold my own against any enemy most assuredly."

He again took another note and frowned.

"Though I must admit, whatever this thing was, it was no Archon. If it was not taken out by a full Protoss detachment... It might have been a very skilled and powerful Archon, but somehow I think I am missing the mark."

As they stumbled on the still-alive Templar, Desty Nova motioned for Luna to step back and himself stepped forward.

"Anht zagatir nas, Templar. It is a miracle that you are still alive, especially since whatever went through here had enough power to match and defeat a Templar of all things. Is there any way I can offer my assistance?"

[---]

chaos gave a nod.

"But it is up to us to realize our hopes and dreams. If we do nothing, than nothing shall be done. But if we do our best to change, if we do as much as we possibly can to prevent humanity's destruction, then they really will survive."

And then it hit him.

KOS-MOS was hoping. And that in itself was a marvel. Was it because he told her to mute her logic centers? Or was it because he was right, because however mechanical she was she was still human?

He would bet all he had on the second option.

"... I will fight for them. It's just what I can do for them, and I can't simply stand and watch. If only we knew more of the enemy, more of these Metarex and more of the zerg in case they ever showed up again..."
