Rinoa frowned for a moment... but suddenly that frowned transformed into a grin. One that terrified Sama to his core, because he knew that was the grin that meant Rinoa was up to something.

“Rinoa...” Sama warned. “You won't change his mind...”

Rinoa chuckled. “Oh, I can tell that just from the way he talks... but something you said, Doctor... You said we're the good guys today, but tomorrow you may have to stop us...”

Rinoa's grin grew a bit. “I spent years trying to destroy the UTR. Now part of that is because of some deep rooted psychological issues from my father, and my mom's death, and it's all a lot of shrink-talk mumbo jumbo I'm sure you're not interested in...

She shook her head. “... But part of my hatred for the UTR was genuine. They way they treated the colonies was and is abysmal... I gave up my ideas of rebellion long ago to change the system from within...”

She grinned a bit. “I'd like to propose a personal sort of alliance. Nothing official... all I ask is you introduce me to a few alien leaders, so I can continue making treaties. Believe me, Doctor... if the UTR steps out of line, I'll be the first one to help you take them down... but for now, I'd like to improve things from within. I can't do that unless I can prove myself now.”

Sama groaned. He knew Rinoa hadn't really given up on changing the UTR. Though, his once strong admiration for the Earth Government had waned in the last year.

[…]

Jordan blinked as Aikka asked them the question. He already knew Molly's answer...

This was a possibly dangerous situation, one that could impact the very future of Nourasia, and Aikka's ability to lead his people in a troubled time.

She'd be in.

“... I'm up for it. Just what do you need us to do?”

[Xavier's School]

“Shadow! You must calm down this instant!” Xavier roared. “You WILL calm down!”

He held up his hands, and attempted to psychically steal the chaos emerald!

[Mobius]

“FOOOOOOX!” Falco called out as Fox was shot down. He growled and shot his bombs at the Daleks, before turning his jet to follow Fox's fall, hoping to find him alive...

“This is Falco, calling Princess Sally! We're being invaded! Our weapons seem useless... we need to call someone! The Plumbers! The UTR! Anybody!”

[Earth]

"Your unit is already suspect for skirting the boundaries of what we can and cannot do in the first place, and now you're walking in here asking me to authorize an operation of questionable legality using creatures that are looked with fear and disgust upon by the rest of the galaxy.”

“Yes. Philanthropy skirted, and in some cases crossed, the boundaries of our constitution. IT was designed to. Solid Snake and I both learned some very painful lessons through years of combat and experience. He as a covert operative, and I as the commander of troops. Philanthropy existed for three reasons. One was to protect the Earth and its interests,

“The second was to monitor the development and usage of super weapons – weapons that go beyond simple warfare, and into the dark places that mankind has repeatedly refused to go, and to stop these types of weapons from being developed or used whenever we could.

AND you're asking me to enlist the aid of wanted fugitives. I understand you don't care much for rules and due process, and that your unorthodox strategies can produce results-but we are all-in theory, at any rate-bound by our constitution.

“The third function of Philanthropy was to exist outside of the normal military channels and outside of the normal chain of command. That idea behind that was so that if we had to, we could do the things the military is bound by law not to do. In secret, of course... but if we got caught, we would take the fall, and isolate the military and the presidency from our actions. It was so that we could do the difficult things necessary to protect our species. You may disagree with our methods, that's your right, sir. You may even, as some do, think I prefer the company of aliens to that of my own species. I know the reputation I have because of my respect for the Protoss. But I fight for Earth, I love my planet and our species, and I don't intend to let us die.”

He shook his head. “My unit has broken the law. The current commander of Philanthropy punched your VP. Truth be told, I'd like to do a lot worse to Arcturus Mengsk. I hope you realize he'll use the return to the Zerg to take your job, sir. If you end up firing me after this conversation, I hope you'll remember that much at least.”

Raynor shook his head. He had a feeling his days of command in the UTR were just about over, so he decided to simply speak his mind.

 We've been working on a way to cure infestation ourselves, but if you already have had a method, you should have come forward sooner-even if it did involve metroids, the very fact you knew it was being developed was reason enough for you to step forward."

“Again, sir. Philanthropy exists, in part, to SHIELD the Government and the military from things that could be illegal, or at least unpopular. Working with Metroids may very well be both. At the very least, we were shielding you from the press. I did not want to waste your time or ours until we knew if there was a better option... but time is not on our side, and I no longer have that luxury. You may not have ever asked us to shield you from what we do, nor have any of the Administrations since Philanthropy was created... however, Snake and I agreed we would take all necessary steps to insure that if we made a mess, it fell on us, and not on the Earth.”

"Finally, what you're asking is that I pardon two of your members on VERY heavy charges simply because...you promise they can do something good. Perhaps I can, perhaps I can authorize this endeavor, it may be legal enough...but what you're doing is asking me to do questionable things and insisting that I trust that somehow you'll handle everything."

“Yes. I'm asking you to pardon them because I promise they can do something good. Once upon a time, my word meant something. There was a time when decades of military service carried some weight with the politicians. The fact is this: I know the Zerg better than anyone else. I know what they're capable of, and I know how to stop them. Asuka is the key. If we can capture her – ALIVE – and manage to rid her of infestation, there is a chance we can use her psychic link to the Zerg to destroy the swarm immediately. In other words: capturing this one person, and saving her from the infestation, can end the threat of the Zerg. Our other option is a war, fighting them until they're dead or we are. That is a more viable option, except that we also have the Metarex to deal with.”

Raynor shook his head.

"Again, I MAY be able to authorize your little stunt...but it's time you stopped treating those to whom you theoretically answer as though they were a bunch of unenlightened idiots. I want details. I want to know exactly what you have in mind, how you plan to accomplish this, and every aspect of this plan before I authorize it."

“The only one of my superiors who is an unenlightened idiot is Arcturus Mengsk. You sir, I actually have great respect for. Still will, even if you decide to ask for my resignation after this is over. Which I will tender, if you ask it.”

Raynor sat back. “I'll tell you the details. I'll tell you every aspect of the plan, and keep you in constant contact of the operation. You'll be able to oversee it all, at all times, and if at any time you decide you're unhappy with it, you can pull the plug...”

His face darkened. “But that means that Section Three of Philanthropy's charter is now invalid. That means any fallout for our actions is now quite literally on you, sir. Before you ask me this, you have to understand that. If you want in, of course you are in. You want to restructure us, turn us into a mainstream military unit, that's in your power to do. But at the same time, you take awake that which has isolated you and your administration from us in the past, and that's something you can't undo once you do it.”

-Nourasia-

The Doctor paused, looking over his instruments, then up at Rinoa.

“Taking them down? You misunderstood me. I am not a god. I'm not some omnipotent being who knows what's going to happen. I am fallible. I can make mistakes. There are species out there who fear me, and rightfully so. I'm responsible for the genocide of my own people. I destroyed them because of what they were becoming.”

The Doctor strode forward to Rinoa, glaring at the girl, “I walk a very narrow line between hero and villain. I'm not afraid to kill, if it's my only choice, if my opponent has refused his second chance. I can't be caught up in any planet's government affairs. I will stop a super weapon, or a blood thirsty army, but I will not stop a dictator, or those in charge. There is no good in me toppling them. If you want to make change, then do it yourself, with members of your own species.”

The Doctor then turned, moving a lever, “I may look human, but I am not. I am a Time Lord. Now leave my ship.”

-Xavier's School-

Amy was yelling at him to stop, and Xavier was trying to steal his Chaos Emerald!

Shadow roared, grabbing the Emerald tightly, pointing at Amy, focusing Chaos Energy...

“No!” Silver yelled suddenly, “Don't hurt Mom!”

Shadow froze, distracted long enough that the Chaos Emerald flew from his hand thanks to Xavier.

“...Owww...” Silver then muttered, clutching his head.

Shadow wasn't glowing red anymore.

-Orion-

“Good...” Erin said, sniffling slightly, “I don't want you to leave...I don't know what I'd do if you did...”

Possibly neglect Solana and slip more into madness... D:

Erin then reached up and kissed Jason. She really didn't want him to go.

-Planet Planit-

“...Thank you,” Galv said softly, leaning forward and giving Melanie a quick peck on the cheek, “And I can't speak about your mother or brother...But I'd never be okay without you...”

Cheeeeeese.

-Mobius-

From the wreckage, a green shape shot out. It looked like an Arwing, but it was entirely green, and glowing.

“Falco...You're not going to believe what just happened...”

Nourasia

Crystal was now beside Sama, watching The Doctor uncertainly....She had never seen him quite so serious..."Well that ended well" she whispered to the boy, sorta feeling bad for Rinoa.

[...]

Aikka looked to Jordan "Well pinpoint the Zerg's location to the best of our ability and you and Molly would travel in that direction and pick up any information you could obtain through tapping into their communication system-"

"Laaaaaaaame" Molly interupted, not quite one for formal discussions "Why don't we just storm the place and take the info they've got....And shut them down at the same time"

"Molly that's horribly dangerous" Aikka countered

"So? The Zerg will probably still attack even if we have info about it...I want to show a little action! Action is fun isn't it Jordan"

Dying isn't quite as fun....

Xavier's School

Shadow had stopped his attack....But for some reason Amy wasn't concerned with that right now....Instead she was staring at Silver, a look of pure confusion on her face.

".......What did you just say?"

Orion

"Of course not, i'm not going anywhere" he repeated, though now he was quite worried....Claire was starting to be more and more right, a concept that horrified the teenage boy.

He needed some advice....Maybe he would talk to Rica (since his mother was a bit on the crazy side herself)...Perhaps the two could relate...Or something?

Jason sighed.


Planet Planit

Melanie gave a little smile, as it seemed as if they had made up. She moved in and kissed him herself-

"I made tea! I hope you like chamomile!"

Instantly Melanie threw herself back from Galv, face as red as a beat and breathing heavily. Out of Kanna-instinct she had become horrified of people catching the two being affectionate...That and she simply forgot Kale was still here.

Kale blinked, setting the tea down "Uhhh did I interrupt something?" he asked, offering the girl a mug which she took. "You look...Winded"

"I'm okay!" she said, still blushing "I'm just a little toasty!"

"Really? It seems quite cold in here"

"Hehehe oh ummmmm yeah cold! Brrrrrrr" Melanie said....

“I'm not ASKING you to topple them! I'm telling you if they become dangerous... oh nevermind! You either don't understand what I'm saying or you just won't help.”

Rinoa crossed her arms and frowned.

“Rinoa, you won't change his mind. Just drop it.”

Rinoa growled once more and shook her head. “I'm just trying to make peace... to actually have a chance at that, someday we're all going to have to work together... or we'll just end up killing each other. The people in power never seem to understand that though...”

She turned and left the TARDIS.

“... Sorry about her. She's completely insane, and I do mean that literally.”

He turned to Crystal. “Nothing ever ends well with Rinoa. I used to work for her dad, used to live with them... she was constantly causing trouble. She means well, she really does... but her plans have a tendency to be crazy.”

[…]

Jordan groaned a bit.

“Attacking the Zerg would be suicide Molly... but... maybe there's a way we can quence her thirst for action, and help get intel at the same time... Aikka, from what I know of the Zerg, their main enemy is the Protoss... as it happens, Molly and I have met the Protoss before!”

When they saved KOS-MOS from the satellite, a million pages ago.

“If we could find the Protoss, maybe they can help defend Nourasia... I know they lost their planet to the Zerg... Maybe we could find the Protoss leaders, and bring them here to talk to Aikka and Nori?”

[Xavier's School]

Xavier grabbed the Chaos Emerald and quickly levitated it to the wall, where it flew into a small container, which sealed it with energy to keep the Emerald safe.

“I see you have calmed a bit... will you please stop your attack now?” Xavier asked with a stern look on his face.

Riley listened as Raynor spoke, and his grin grew wider with each point.

“My unit has broken the law. The current commander of Philanthropy punched your VP. Truth be told, I'd like to do a lot worse to Arcturus Mengsk. I hope you realize he'll use the return to the Zerg to take your job, sir. If you end up firing me after this conversation, I hope you'll remember that much at least.”


Riley chuckled.

"I'll bet you would like to do worse. I want to do worse, sometimes. And of course I understand that he'll try to capitalize on the zerg. The man is so much a politician that I'm sometimes amazed he was ever military."


“Again, sir. Philanthropy exists, in part, to SHIELD the Government and the military from things that could be illegal, or at least unpopular. Working with Metroids may very well be both. At the very least, we were shielding you from the press. I did not want to waste your time or ours until we knew if there was a better option... but time is not on our side, and I no longer have that luxury. You may not have ever asked us to shield you from what we do, nor have any of the Administrations since Philanthropy was created... however, Snake and I agreed we would take all necessary steps to insure that if we made a mess, it fell on us, and not on the Earth.”


"...perhaps you should have been in TerrInt. Or at any rate part of some TerrInt team the existance of which I can neither confirm nor deny with you."

He chuckled a bit more.

"But working with metriods...isn't so bad. At the end of the day, they are beasts, and working with them can be equated with warhorses or some such."


“Yes. I'm asking you to pardon them because I promise they can do something good. Once upon a time, my word meant something. There was a time when decades of military service carried some weight with the politicians. The fact is this: I know the Zerg better than anyone else. I know what they're capable of, and I know how to stop them. Asuka is the key. If we can capture her – ALIVE – and manage to rid her of infestation, there is a chance we can use her psychic link to the Zerg to destroy the swarm immediately. In other words: capturing this one person, and saving her from the infestation, can end the threat of the Zerg. Our other option is a war, fighting them until they're dead or we are. That is a more viable option, except that we also have the Metarex to deal with.”


"Decades of military service still does carry much weight. I served decades myself. Your record and word still carries some weight, despite any counterweights in place, and no one is questioning your expertise on the zerg themselves. As for pardons...punching the VP...even I want to do that all the time. I can probably pardon that...provided we get results. As for the other one you're asking for...I don't even know. I won't pardon anything until I know what it is, and IF I will then, it will not be until we get results. That's always the deal-and the public justification. I can pardon after civil service-not in advance."


“The only one of my superiors who is an unenlightened idiot is Arcturus Mengsk. You sir, I actually have great respect for. Still will, even if you decide to ask for my resignation after this is over. Which I will tender, if you ask it.


"Do you have such respect, now? Regardless...I think your styles are better suited to an agency like TerrInt, but if I wanted you fired I would have already asked."

I'll tell you the details. I'll tell you every aspect of the plan, and keep you in constant contact of the operation. You'll be able to oversee it all, at all times, and if at any time you decide you're unhappy with it, you can pull the plug...”

“But that means that Section Three of Philanthropy's charter is now invalid. That means any fallout for our actions is now quite literally on you, sir. Before you ask me this, you have to understand that. If you want in, of course you are in. You want to restructure us, turn us into a mainstream military unit, that's in your power to do. But at the same time, you take awake that which has isolated you and your administration from us in the past, and that's something you can't undo once you do it.”


Riley paused, eyeing Raynor shrewdly.

"You know, there was a time when a code of conduct written out in law meant something to our men in uniform...it still does, I'd think, at least to some. Maybe I'm just a relic of a simpler or less "enlightened" time."

"However, even you, I am sure, respect the concept of chain of command. I fail to see how secretly briefing me on ONE op therefore ties you openly to the office for the rest of either's existance...but I will allow you this: overall, the cooperation and the initiation of your plan is approved-I don't even need to know the intricacies. But pardons will be delved out at my discretion, and we are monitoring this battle, as you are aware. If at any time I don't like the way your operation is going, I'm ordering it scrubbed. I trust, of course, that I will not have to actually invoke that authority."

He sat back.

"You have your orders. Go and produce your results."

Shadow felt drained, both mentally and physically. Otherwise, he probably would have grabbed the gem and renewed his attack.

“I...promised...my...father...” Shadow said slowly, struggling to get up, but not doing very well.

Silver paused, “I said...'Don't hurt'...Mom?” Silver blinked, “Why did I...say that?”

He frowned. His parents had supposedly died when he was young. The Metarex attacked the ship they were on. He was the last survivor, the Plumbers saving him when he was a young boy, barely old enough to walk...

He shouldn't really remember them...should he?

-Orion-

Erin sighed contently now, leaning against Jason, then paused.

“Oh...ummm...we should probably get your...our...daughter...” Erin frowned, “Kanna's got her own kids right now to worry about too...”

-Planet Planit-

“Ummm, sorry, we were just sharing a quick kiss...” Galv blushed, “You startled us...”

He looked at the cups, “Ummm, thank you for the tea. It's very kind of you.”

-Nourasia-

Once Rinoa was gone, The Doctor shut the doors of the T.A.R.D.I.S.

He hadn't told Rinoa the real reason of why he refused alliances.

He and Azmuth created the Plumbers to help keep balance. To not allow any one species so much power they would be unopposed in the galaxy.

The Doctor didn't want any formal alliance, because he figured one day, he'd have to turn his back on them. It was better if they thought The Plumbers were a rogue group...

Nourasia

The elders at the table started to chatter all at once at Jordan's idea, apparently interested in it.

"Perhaps gaining such an ally would be beneficial" One Nourasian called out "Much better than jumping into unfamiliar territory!"

"But such an alliance isn't even guaranteed!" Another protested "What if they refuse to help us! Think of the time wasted!"

Molly spoke up again "Well I guess we'll just have to be good at convincing! Look Jordan's got a pretty awesome plan if I do say so myself...I say we try it...And if it doesn't work i'll just throw him into space"

That wasn't a joke.

Aikka nodded (not at throwing Jordan into space) "Alright then you two, we shall get you ready to find these Protoss if you think it will aid in the fight"

"I will! Jordan's sure of it!" Molly said with a grin.

Orion

"Oh...Yeah...We should" Jason said, the two heading back into the room where Kanna was watching the children.....Well sorta.

She had fallen asleep again.

Jason sighed, moving to Solanna who was happily babling as her grandmother slumbered nearby "Grandma isn't that good of a babysitter is she 'lanna?"

Solanna giggled and stuck her hand in her mouth.

Planet Planit

As Galv said that Melanie's face went even redder. Kale took notice.

"Why are you embarrassed about your mate?" He asked.

"Boyfriend" Melanie corrected again

"Oh yes....Boyfriend."

"I'm not embarrassed! Just....Well it's complicated. Public displays of affection are met with death threats where we're from"

That was supposed to be a joke but obviously Kale took it very litterally with a giant gasp "How horrible Earth must be!! Death for such actions!? How do you reproduce then?!"

Melanie's face couldn't get any redder.

Xavier's School

Amy was eying Silver awfully suspisiously "Yeah Silver....WHY did you say that...More importantly why'd you call me mom!? Do I look that old to yooooooou? Hmmmmmm!?"

She then remembered she was suposed to be helping Shadow. She groaned and moved towards him once more. "You're just as bad as Sonic...Slightly more destructive though..."

Erin smiled at Solana, looking from her to Jason.

“...I want a son too...” she said, after a couple moments. Possibly only because she wanted to name him Walter.



“Claire...we need to get you somewhere else for now...” Levina said, “You can't stay here...Too many...bad memories.”

“I have my own lodgings...” Claire frowned, “I can take care of myself...”

-Planet Planit-

“Oh, no, it's just...her mom...” Galv said, “Her mom doesn't really approve of us dating...”

He sighed slightly, “I'm not sure how much my mom approves either...”

Galv then paused, realizing the last bit that Kale had said.

“Ahhhh, we're too young for that!” Galv said quickly, “Much too young! Errr...”

He grabbed a cup of the tea and drank it down.

“This is good tea,” Galv said. His mouth was burning now from chugging the hot liquid, but it was better then the previous conversation...

-Xavier's School-

“I don't know why...I barely remember my parents...If I focus...just...sorta...blobs...Maybe they were on the screen earlier...”

“...I...did see Amy on the screen, actually...” Shadow muttered, shifting his focus as he tried to regain energy, “Not...this Amy though...definitely...older...”

He didn't mention what else he saw on the screen. He had enough problems/issues as it was.

If nothing else, Raynor was at least relieved to hear that Riley was wise to Mengsk. He knew Mengsk had an unnatural way of pulling the wool over people's eyes... and one of his greatest fears was that he could pull it over Riley's.

Raynor stood up and saluted. Perhaps he'd keep his job a bit longer. He knew there was a reason he liked this guy. (Naturally, Raynor hadn't voted for Riley strictly because of his running mate... but any misconceptions he had because of Mengsk were gone, or at least diminished.)

“Vash was accused of destroying a colony, single handed. He claims it was actually his brother who committed the crime. He can't offer any solid evidence of that, or I'd have presented it already, years ago. As it is, though... I've seen his brother, once. The guy was insane. Knowing them both, I believe Vash. I can't prove he's innocent, and likewise there's no proof he's guilty.”

He paused. “I understand you won't issue a pardon till it's done, but I'd ask you'd at least suspend the arrest orders. As I indicated before, to catch Asuka we may need help from Colonel Didymus or Colonel Peterson... it would be very difficult to work with them if they're under orders to arrest my people.”

He shook his head. “At any rate, I thank you sir.”

"However, even you, I am sure, respect the concept of chain of command. I fail to see how secretly briefing me on ONE op therefore ties you openly to the office for the rest of either's existance...

“... If that's how you'd like to play this, consider it done. I'm going to get started now, sir. I'll keep you updated.”

He turned, and left.

[Xavier's School]

“... Shadow, listen to me.” Xavier spoke in a commanding voice. “If you steal the portal gun, you will not be doing your 'father' any help. You will only make him more enemies... Allow me to meet with him. Perhaps we can arrange something. In the meantime... I have to insist you calm down.”

[Nourasia]

Jordan gave a nod to Aikka.

“I promise, we'll be back soon. And hey, the head honcho for the Protoss trusted Molly and I without even knowing us... I'm sure he'd trust you.”

“Come on Molly! Let's get to the Protoss colony!”

[TARDIS]

Sama's CODEC buzzed; it was Raynor.

“Oh! Raynor, sir, hey! You're on speaker... Crystal is here, and so is The Doctor!”

“... Oh yeah. Snake spoke very high of you, Doc. Anyway, just a quick call... talked to Riley. There's a plan in place to capture and deinfest Asuka. It'll be dangerous, and if we screw up, it's my ass. If we make it, we stop the Zerg and you get to stop hiding out. Either we win big, or we probably die. What do you say?”

Sama's heart skipped a beat... no more fugitive? He could actually go home?

“Oh, I'm in. Hey Doctor... would you mind dropping us off at the Hyperion?”

[The Crusader]

Peterson was totally alone in the hallway.

Really.

chaos just watched Burke as he spoke, and sighed with regret when the man finished speaking.

"... You could ave been so much more. You could have been a savior, a helper, your charisma and ability could have been used to do so much good, to ease so many lives. Is what you are doing really worth the price of your soul, Burke?"

He pointedly ignored the man's words about KOS-MOS. He knew perfectly well that the android girl was fine, that she would still be fine, and that she would be able to take much better care of herself he could. So worrying about her right now was not exactly his priority...

That still didn't ease his mind, however. He knew Burke was up to something.

"As you are now, neither me nor KOS-MOS would ever help you. You're too self-centered, too destructive, too much of an evil man for either me or her to follow. So you can take it from me, Burke. I will never help you. Neither will KOS-MOS. And one day, you will look back at all you did and know that it was not worth it."

He gave a sad smile, lowering his guard a bit as he looked upwards.

"... No... You're just like them, right? Just like the mindless Zerg, just like the destructive Metarex. You don't know what you're missing, so you live a life that is hollow, empty, dead inside... Don't you think that's a sad thing?"

Sentinel 3

The Spaceport was quiet, and as it was getting dark, less and less light was available within the area. The spaceport, a large open area with very little lighting during the night, was the perfect place for Space Pirates to actually make quite the arrival.

Which is exactly what they did. Before the meeting time was even close, a group was already standing out in the open.

The harlequin-man was joined by an old and rather rotund man with a large white moustache, a small Chinese woman with her hair up in a bun and over two dozen of those strange, twisted men.

They were waiting for the arrival of their target and her entourage...

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!!!

"... You could ave been so much more. You could have been a savior, a helper, your charisma and ability could have been used to do so much good, to ease so many lives. Is what you are doing really worth the price of your soul, Burke?"


Burke threw back his head and laughed out loud. “Hahahahahahah! Oh, chaos! You are hilarious... ah... I haven't laughed like that since I found out The Doctor committed genocide against our entire race!”

Yeah, Burke has some truly insane comedic taste.

“Never say never, chaos. She will serve me... she will choose to serve me... that I know for a fact. I know because I have something that will convince her... someONE I should say...”

"... No... You're just like them, right? Just like the mindless Zerg, just like the destructive Metarex. You don't know what you're missing, so you live a life that is hollow, empty, dead inside... Don't you think that's a sad thing?"

“Don't lump me in with those mindless monsters. I set out to BE a savior to my people. I intended to give Time Lords TRUE immortality... but they turned their backs on ME. I intended to help the humans, but they betrayed ME, said I was crazy... these species are so inferior. That is why they must be purged, so I can create a better species...”

Yeah, he's insane.

Three and the others soon arrived at the drop point. Three had a frown on his face as he looked up to see the harlequin man, and two newcomers.

“I assume you're the one's behind this whole stunt, are you? Well, let's get this over with then...”

“I understand you won't issue a pardon till it's done, but I'd ask you'd at least suspend the arrest orders. As I indicated before, to catch Asuka we may need help from Colonel Didymus or Colonel Peterson... it would be very difficult to work with them if they're under orders to arrest my people.”

"Vash has refused to even show up to trial. I don't think I can issue a pardon for his charge, even IF this operation is a success...but I can, of course, suspend his warrant. It wouldn't be the first time."

He eyed Raynor again.

"Consider the warrants suspended. A pardon for one of your two fugitives will follow if this is pulled off."


T.R.S. Crusader

The zerg were in retreat. The metarex were gone. The battle was won...

"Security lockdown is in effect. Marine teams sweeping the ship. All hands, remain at battle stations and cooperate with security personnel." the ship's system announced.

"Status..." Didymus said. "...we finding anything? Any non-human vital signs?"

Rachel walked in, something on a hovercart behind her.

"Your armor, sir." she said. "And no confirmations. Not yet, at least."

"Thank you, Rachel."

He walked over to the powered armor awaiting him, and Rachel turned to leave as he began to get into it.

Is this it? Is Asuka really going to spare us a visit? That transport creature of theirs was suspicious enough...this can't be it. She's got to have something in mind...

He fit the suit on.

Here I am, my dear. If you want me, then come, come and claim me, if you think you can. Come, come into my den, and discover that you're on MY turf now...

GRAPPLING HOOK!

Nourasia

So they weren't going to fight the Zerg directly...Molly was okay with considering their new plan. The girl excitedly stood up and gave a large grin.

"You'll be careful won't you?" Lady Nori asked, standing up with the girl. Naturally Molly gave a nod.

"I must admit we'll probably be a bit reckless, but that's just how we do things here! I promise we'll come back in one piece!"

Nori gave a little laugh "I suppose that will do"

Molly then turned to Aikka "We'll keep in contact with you guys from the Arrow and let you know how things are going" she explained.

"Be careful Molly"

"You too!"

And with that she turned and motioned for Jordan to follow "We better get the racer revved up!"

TARDIS

Crystal watched Sama's expression turn very happy, it would seem as if-at least for now- he wouldn't be a fugitive and was actually being asked to help.

"That's awesome Sama!" The girl said placing a hand on his shoulder

Planet Planit

Kale didn't exactly know why Melanie and Galv were all of a sudden so red so he just pegged it on some strange human tick or something.

"Are you sure you're alrigh-

"Never been better!" Melanie instantly said, taking a large gulp of her own tea. She then proceeded to sputter a bit "Gaaaaaaah hoooooooot!"

Kale just blinked "Ummm it's hot tea"

Poor Melanie and Galv.

Orion

Jason choked a bit on air, and in response Solanna giggled. A son? Geez, Erin was definitely thinking ahead wasn't she....

More advice to get from Rica he supposed...

"Uh....Yeah...M-Maybe...One day"

Xavier's School

Amy seemed a little freaked out that she had been in Silver's little memory clip show....

She looked to Shadow "How did you even see it! It went by so fast!"

Maybe it had been a mistake...Or maybe something REALLY messed up was going on here.

Jordan nodded and bowed to the Queen, and even to Aikka, although it was a bit begrudgingly. He sighed and headed off after Molly, quickly making their way to the hangar.

“Do you remember the way to the Protoss Colony? It shouldn't take us that long to get there... if we can find it quick, maybe we can save Nourasia... heck, maybe we can save the whole universe! This is a big one, Molly...”

[TARDIS]

Sama nodded, now practically giddy, but trying to maintain his composure in front of The Doctor. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of a living legend.

“Yeah! All we have to do is kidnap the queen of the Zerg and turn her human again... which is just a incredibly dangerous mission followed by something no one has ever accomplished before... sounds fun.”

[Xavier's School]

“It's not impossible, Amy.” Luna told her. “If he's truly from the future...”

I can't see what you're imagining
-Xavier's School-

Shadow frowned at Xavier, standing up slowly.

“...Fine then...” Shadow said, “But I need that gem back...”

He paused, “...It powers my ship. Eddie's on reserve power right now.”

Something that supplies incredible rage helped power an A.I. that was eerily cheerful.

Shadow then turned to Amy.

“I'm the Ultimate Life Form. My eyes are better then your's...” Shadow responded, “Besides...Unless he's made in a tube like me, he has to have a mother.”

Silver frowned, “I'm sorry...I just...My parents died when I was young...I wish I remembered better...”

“...How did your parents die?” Shadow asked, suddenly, interested.

“Well...I don't know for sure...but the Plumbers that rescued me said if it wasn't for them, the Metarex would have gotten to me...” Silver answered, “So...I guess they died saving me...”

Shadow frowned, “I see...”

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

“Are you being dropped off, or should I keep the meter running?” The Doctor said, smiling slightly, back to his more joking self.

The T.A.R.D.I.S. now moved through time and space, and would appear on the Hyperion in GS's post if he wants it.

-The Crusader-

Peterson appeared on the bridge now, then paused, noticing Didymus in his combat suit.

Peterson was still in his flight suit.

“Colonel Didymus,” Peterson said, “Sorry for my lack of proper attire, I wanted to be on the bridge as soon as possible.”

He looked around, pausing, “The Yeerks keeping their position? And I heard that voice over the comm...It sounded human.”

He didn't want to address the issue with Asuka yet...

-Planet Planit-

“Tha...thank you for the tea,” Galv said, grimacing as his mouth still burned, “Errrr, we should probably be going...I don't want to impose...”

-Orion-

Erin nodded, leaving it to that for now.

“...Walter's mother is in there, then?” Erin asked, glancing towards the room where the others were at, “I want to meet her...”

-Mobius-

From the wreckage, a green shape shot out. It looked like an Arwing, but it was entirely green, and glowing.

“Falco...You're not going to believe what just happened...”
