Asuka was shaking. Her entire body shivering.

“Heh… if your men are scared of me when I’m powerless and untrained, then you guys suck worse than I thought.”

If the last six hundred pages didn’t make it clear, Asuka likes to make insulting jokes whenever she feels uncomfortable. She lowered her voice, and looked down at her shoes.

“… I’m the one who’s scared. I was utterly useless, and worse of all, it’s my own damn fault. I can’t blame anyone else… Peterson always taught me to have a backup plan. To plan for uncertainty… but did I listen? Of course not.”

She sighed, hugging her knees to her chest. “I… I’m not cut out for this anymore.”

[Acorn Palace]

“THIS is why everybody hates politicians.”

Knuckles popped out of the ground, rocking his cowboy hat. He shook some dirt out of his dreads, and then looked at the two.

“You’re arguing over a moot point. Mobius is falling around us. The Metarex are destroying our heritage and our people. You two talk about the people, but really you’re both still playing political games.”

He shook his head. “Amadeus, you want her to name a successor in the hopes that doing so will mean when this is all over you’ll have someone else you can urge your reforms on. And Sally, you’re naively assuming there will still BE a council to choose a successor for you.”

He crossed his arms. “But the reality is, Mobius is collapsing! You think the Houses mean ANYTHING, anymore? We’re losing our planet. Our people are losing their homes, their heritage and their lives. You think they care about your silly politics? If either of you were a REAL leader, you’d be more concerned with saving our people and less concerned with saving your damned ideologies.”

[Haven]

“Tell you what. You and the kids can have the house, and I’ll sleep above the garage. Or I can sleep in your closet… or you can make good on your promise to marry me.”

Rica was even surprised by that last part. He blinked several times, realizing he was dragging up the past, but he didn’t back off. Instead he took Kanna’s hand and pulled her close.

“Think about it… Burke’s dead, NERV’s gone… and you did say yes once upon a time. You were even happy then…”

[Oa]

The skull-headed Red Lantern was frozen to the ground, but he let out a roar. If he had a better grasp on his sanity, he could have used his Ring to break the ice with ease… but most Red Lanterns are too crazy to think clearly.

With him frozen, Sama rushed forward and pressed his glove against the Lantern’s chest, sending bolts of lightning into him. The Red Lantern screamed and passed out.

“Come on!” Sama called, rushing into the open door of the ship…

Kanna stiffened as Rica mentioned getting married. Sure, it was something she thought about back as a teenager in NERV...Heck she even thought about it when she was a young mother trying to track down her son's father...But she hadn't thought about it in a long time.

Before she had a chance to tell Rica that he was an idiot he had pulled her forward, and was now holding her....The woman wrinkled her nose. "Why won't you just let me be old and miserable alone?" she muttered as a half joke/half truth. "I'm too old to get married"

Apparently not too old to still pop out babies though.

Oa

"Right!"

When the Red Lantern fell Crystal recalled her water, moving it back to her pouch. She had a feeling she would need it for later since surely there were more evil Lanterns in the ship. The girl looked to Sama as they ran. "Hey, can you throw lightening with that thing?" she asked

Sally simply nodded.

"Thank you, Knuckles. These are my thoughts exactly, save for your takes on why we're saying what we are. While we do need to ensure continuity should the worst happen, right now we need to rally people." she said. "And enact our strategy...what of it we can piece together, at least..." she added.

T.R.S. Crusader

Didymus paused.

"You know what? Yeah, as you are, you aren't cut out for this. You are shakey with a gun and you're legally blind in one eye."

He stood over her, for a moment.

"Now...my question is...what are you going to do about it? Do you even want to change it? If so...take my hand."

He extended his arm toward her.

Rica had expected this response, but he is nothing if not obnoxiously stubborn.

“Come now, darling. You’re not that old. And I don’t think you want to be miserable and alone.” Rica said with his usual annoying grin. He leaned closer to her.

“It’s never too late, you know.”

[Oa]

Sama rushed forward in the ship, looking around. The hallway was long and narrow, but the layout of the ship was… familiar. It was a lot like the types of ships used by the Republic now, and Sama had served on more than one.

“I think I know the way.” He called to Crystal. He moved down the hallway, but paused at the end, flattening himself against the wall and peeking around the corner.

“There!” He whispered, looking to her. “At the end of the next hall should be the main flight deck. If we can take over that room, we can take over the entire ship and end this attack…”

He took a deep breath, and then charged – but before he even got close to the door, a giant red fist smashed into him and threw Sama against the wall. The fist of light vanished, and a figure stepped forward.

The figure looked like this.

“… Humans. How uninteresting.”

[Acorn Palace]

“Actually Sally, I think you should pick a successor. Not for the reasons he does,” Knuckles pointed at Amadeus. “But because if you don’t, then the people will look to Sonic, and he doesn’t have what it takes to lead.”

[TRS Crusader]

Asuka frowned, hesitating, and then she reached up and took his head.

“… How can I change it?”

“It’s never too late, you know.”

Kanna leaned forward, kissing the man carefully. She let the kiss linger for a few moments before stepping back, starting to walk once more. "Trust me, marriage is over-rated. It brings out the worst in people."

Kanna knew this from experience. Her relationship with Kain went downhill the moment they decided to get married. Most nights ended with screaming matches and the occasional fist fight.

"Not to mention the commitment would just about kill a man like you" she added "You'd be like a dog at the end of it's chain"

Oa

Crystal froze, eyes wide. Immediately she rushed to her boyfriend's side and tugged on Sama's arm. "Are you okay!?" she asked, before standing up in front of him "He's a lot scarier than the other ones" she muttered before moving her hands to control the water once more.

“… Humans. How uninteresting.”

Crystal frowned "Hey! Who are you calling uninteresting!?" She exclaimed, the water suddenly turning into sharp ice shards.

Rica was taken aback as Kanna kissed him. For the few moments of their embrace, he was actually too blanked in his mind to even think of anything sarcastic. When she finally did pull away, he sighed.

“I don’t know, Kanna. You tend to bring out my better side.” Rica said, shrugging and following her. “To be honest, if I hadn’t found you again when I did… I’d probably still be a criminal, running around and doing anything to get by.”

[Oa]

Sama groaned, standing up. His lip was bleeding and he felt like he needed a nap, but he knew right now things had gotten real. This giant red figure could use his Ring the same way the Green Lanterns did… which meant he was a lot more dangerous than the others.

“You. Humans. Your species is… boring. You have potential, of course… that’s why I stole this ship from your military… but you’re still just so… boring. You reject your true natures, you reject the beauty of Rage… and instead you try to control yourselves…”

The figures shrugged. “I am Atrocitus, leader and founder of the Red Lantern Corp. I am the one who will eventually destroy your entire star system.”

Sally chuckled, gravely.

"Will they? He'll be missing, heck, he'll probably be here." she paused.

"But picking a successor will only cause more problems than it will solve; I'm not SUPPOSED to pick one." she said.

"But like you said, that's really focusing on the wrong thing. Right now, we need to fortify strongpoints and set up evacuations, as quickly as we can, off planet for those leaving....and later discreetly as we can to hidden strongholds such as Knothole or the Wolf Pack caves..." she said.

T.R.S. Crusader


“… How can I change it?”


Didymus was pulling Asuka up, and he said simply,

"The old-fashioned way." he said.

"You train. Come on, Asuka. You were a fearsome mech pilot once. Surely you can be one again. And that eye of yours will heal up. But in the meantime, we can train a bit...if I can spare time...I imagine my own schedule will be packed..."

He paused.

"But I do feel like maybe I should...and maybe I shouldn't...go see Rachel..."

I can't see what you're imagining
-T.R.S. Crusader-

Omega would have frowned if he had a mouth, just nodding at the Marine and walking off.

The robot didn't like the concept of running from a fight...but he supposed his Comrades were in trouble here. Maybe he should check on Asuka and Didymus...

-Haven-

“I think you might have to consider other people here as well, Rica...”

Another figure appeared by Kanna and Rica. It was Ethan, of course, who had acquired a stroller and was pushing Adrianna and Aaron along in it.

Ethan knew that while he and Rica got along better then they use to, the Kanna thing was still something they didn't really talk about.

“If Kanna is looking for a place of her own to raise the children, maybe we should just find a place nearby...” Ethan suggested. He paused, rubbing his head, then turned towards Rica, “Maize says she's planning on doing her own thing. My own place is nearby, and I'm assuming Kanna wants a place near here too. You could have Felix and Aiden there too. Plenty of room.”



“Pasta sounds delicious,” Galv said, smiling to Melanie, looking for some more ingredients. Galv liked everything Melanie cooked though, so he's a bit biased in that regard.

He really hoped that Melanie was feeling better about everything. She seemed so down earlier, and Galv felt a little guilty about it, since he was feeling better...



“Alright then...” Erin said, placing it to the side. For some reason she associated the pod with Jason somehow, but wasn't sure why.

She then smiled, moving closer to Jason and taking his arm, “How was the visit to your sister?”



“A cup of tea sounds great,” Ben grinned, then leaned towards Jade, whispering.

“Don't worry, we have plenty of time and this way your uncles might be more willing for us to have other adventures later,” Ben said quietly.

-Acorn Palace-

Amadeus frowned, shaking his head a little. Now wasn't the time to argue with these whippersnappers.

“Knuckles, is the Master Emerald secured?” Amadeus asked, “I shudder to think of the Metarex getting their hands on it.”



“Alright then,” Silver said to Cosmo, “Then stay close to me, I'll protect you!”



Off in the distance, Shadow spun through some Metarex ground forces, buying some time as a group of civilians ran away, running towards safety...

-Mobius Space-

A ship was trying to escape, a Metarex ship baring down on them!

Suddenly the Metarex ship was hit, spiraling to the side, Shredder fire ripping into it, taking it out, the Mobian escape ship getting out of the system, heading to safety.

The small Andalite force was here, trying to do their best to help...

"What better side? You're still a man. All your sides are effed up" Kanna said, looking back at him. "You're still the perverted, immature boy I know as a girl. Maybe a little taller now, but that's it"

Kanna walked up to a tall apartment building, at least 20 stories high. It looked clean and simple, perhaps a good place for her to live. And it was only a fifteen minute walk for Melanie to Galv's.

Not that she cared about that.

"How about this one?" she asked Rica's opinion, heading inside.

[...]

Melanie let the water boil, gathering a few other things while she waited. Every now and then she eyed her boyfriend, but kept silent for the most part. Instead of talking she stuck some noodled in the water, and watched the steam plume in her face.

"Ugh" she mumbled, wiping the sweat from her brow. She could feel her face heating up uncomfortably so she took a seat. "Can you stir that?" she asked.

[...]

Jason really didn't want to worry Erin, the pod she drew made him nervous....Clearly he didn't want to discus certain things with his soon to be wife...Like his death for instance!

"I-It was good, she's going to live with Kanna now I think...It'll be good for her to be with mom...I think."

Jason then picked up Solanna, who was still much too young to understand the concept of crayons. "Can you color yet Lanna?" He asked with a smile

Solanna just blinked, and started to cry. Jason sighed.

"Guess not. You hungry kiddo?"

Solanna cried louder.

[...]

She understand Ben's logic, but Jade knew her uncles. They weren't going to let her go without a fight.

"You don't know what you're getting yourself into" Jade muttered, as Uncle lead them back into the living room, before taking a seat and turning to Jackie. "Bring us tea!"

It really wasn't a question.

He then turned back to the others. "Sooooo....Ben....And friend-" (he never bothered to learn Kevin's name) "Where did you just come from?"

Acorn Palace

Cosmo nodded, moving closer to Silver but also keeping an eye on Tails....

“No problem,” Galv said, getting up and stirring the pasta for Melanie. The heat didn't bother him at all, and he glanced towards Melanie now.

He still felt like he had to say something to her. Somehow make her see this would all work out.

As he tried to figure out what to say, the door opened, and Lily stepped in, pausing.

“Oh, hello,” Lily said with a smile, “Making dinner?”



Erin turned to Jason and Solanna, taking the girl from her soon to be husband, smiling at her daughter.

“It's okay Solanna. Your momma and daddy are here,” Erin said softly, using some wind to blow a cool breeze unto her daughter, who always felt warm, much like Jason.



Jackie sighed from the other room, already getting the tea ready, knowing Uncle would want it.

“We were on a trip,” Ben said. Technically it was the truth, though he was omitting a bit, “We were looking for someone. Kevin bought some junk too.”

All the truth, in a way.

Jackie entered with the tea.

-Acorn Palace-

Silver smiled towards Cosmo, trying to act brave for her.

I have the feeling Silver's going to do something really stupid in battle later.

Melanie frowned at Lilly, taking a seat and chopping some lettuce.....She found herself clutching the knife a rather tightly....

"Yes. I'm making dinner. For Galv" She said simply, narrowing her eyes.

[...]

Solanna grabbed at the air, unaware she couldn't grasp it. She tried several times with her tiny hands.

"She's getting big" Jason said with a smile, looking over Erin's shoulder "You're gonna look just like your momma?"

[...]

Uncle eyed Ben for a moment, not even taking his eyes off the boy as he took his cup of tea and took a sip. "You're vague.....Veeeeeerrry vague"

"That's just part of his charm!" Jade pipped up. "Can we go now?"

"NO! Your trip didn't involve demonssss did it?" Uncle questioned.

When he says demons he actually means aliens...But those don't exist.

“Oh, I'm sure there will be plenty for everyone,” Galv said, glancing between Melanie and Lily, sensing some hostility.

“Right...?”



“I hope she keeps the blue eyes though,” Erin said, tickling under Solanna's chin, “Just like her daddy's.”

She smiled, looking up at Jason. She paused, then moved a little closer to him, “So...when do you want the wedding...?”



“There were no demons involved,” Ben said, sipping his own tea. It did involve aliens, but Ben wasn't going to argue semantics right now, especially when they were in his favor. “I didn't even have to turn into anything on the trip.”

He held up the Ultimatrix on his wrist.

Sama groaned, standing up. His lip was bleeding and he felt like he needed a nap, but he knew right now things had gotten real. This giant red figure could use his Ring the same way the Green Lanterns did… which meant he was a lot more dangerous than the others.

“You. Humans. Your species is… boring. You have potential, of course… that’s why I stole this ship from your military… but you’re still just so… boring. You reject your true natures, you reject the beauty of Rage… and instead you try to control yourselves…”

The figures shrugged. “I am Atrocitus, leader and founder of the Red Lantern Corp. I am the one who will eventually destroy your entire star system.”

He held out his hand, and suddenly a massive fist of red light tried to grab Crystal and Sama!

[Haven]

“Oh come on, I’m not that messed up.” Rica said, following Kanna like a stray puppy. “… Okay, so I am, but so are you.”

He shrugged, and looked over to Ethan.

“Oh relax, I’m not saying I want Kanna all to myself. We have an unspoken agreement, after all… I’d just like to recapture those happy days from so long ago.”

He shrugged again.

[…]

Kevin raised an eyebrow.

“What is it with you and demons?”

[Acorn Palace]

Knuckles raised an eyebrow.

“Do you think I’d be wasting time with you two if the Emerald wasn’t secure? It’s perfectly safe and sound, and out of harm’s way.”

[TRS Crusader]

Asuka frowned and shook her head.

“… Okay. I’ll do what I can… but for now you should go see Rachel.” Asuka looked up at him. “You need to check on her.”

"Sama....Are you okay" she asked, standing beside the boy and still looking up at the Red Lantern. She didn't dare look away from their foe, which was a very smart move considering he was now attacking them with a stream of red light!

Instantly Crystal's hands went up and water went at him! She knew this wouldn't stop the beam that eventually grabbed her, but at least it would maybe distract Atrocitus!

Haven

Melanie was silent for a moment, before she looked back down at the vegetables she was cutting....She stabbed them a bit. "I guess...." she muttered, not looking at Lilly or Galv.

[...]

Jason smiled, looking Solanna right in the eyes. The baby stared past him until Jason placed a finger on her nose. The baby then went cross-eyed, trying to her her sight on his finger.


“So...when do you want the wedding...?”

Jason blinked, straightening up. He remembered that Erin had once again agreed to be his wife, but they had put off the ceremony for awhile now. "W-Whenever you want to" he said, feeling a bit nervous. Talks of weddings did that to men. "Heck, we could do it tomorrow if you wanted" he joked.

[...]

"I think Ethan has a point" Kanna said, going over to the man, but focusing her attention on the two babies in the stroller. She picked up Aaron, looking back to the men.

"I do want you two nearby, but not too nearby" she said. After all the children deserved their fathers. It wasn't their fault she was an antisocial nutjob who didn't want to be around Ethan or Rica for more than an hour.

[...]

Uncle didn't trust Ben, but instead of fighting with the boy about what he may or may not have turned into he took a sip of his tea. "Jackie, perhaps you should take that boy to Section 13. I bet they'd LOVE to tear him apart"

"N-No tearing apart please!" Jade exclaimed, choking a bit on her tea. "Captain Black wouldn't care about some little old magic watch anyways!"

Atrocitus was unfortunately not distracted. The beam, shaped like a massive hand, grabbed the two and held them in place floating a few feet off the ground.

“Gah!” Sama tried to wriggle free, but he could not – and worse still, his electric glove was now too dangerous to use since he was so close to Crystal and her water.

“What is it you want?” Sama shouted.

“… Revenge.” Atrocitus said simply. “Against your kind, against the Lanterns… against all of you.”

[Haven]

Rica sighed, shrugging his shoulders.

“Oh very well… but you know I’ll be around every day. You can’t get rid of me, darling.”

[…]

“Eh. I can tear Ben apart for you if you want.” Kevin asked with a shrug.
