"I help kill Burke, who say I can't fight now?" Melanie said, still clutching Galv's hand firmly. "I doubt you want to stay here anyways, it's not like you...But it doesn't matter, I can't even get my powers to work"

She shut her eyes again, trying to focus. Suddenly with a pop the two disappeared, reappearing in the next room about six feet off the ground. With a yelp Melanie and Galv fell to the floor.

"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" Melanie groaned.

Whoever they are, they’re pros.”

"Well we've taken out pros before haven't we?" Kanna said, as the men shot warning shots into the air. She didn't flinch. "Just like old times right?"

Like when they were kids, killing enemies as NERV soliders. Homicide for kids!

"No, I don't think we'll get down" Kanna said, throwing several blasts of dark energy at the men!

Albedo's Ship

"You guys be careful!" Gwen exclaimed, watching as Ben, Albedo, Rex, Elena and Jade disappeared suddenly. This left she and Kevin alone. She sighed. "What do you think their chances are without our help?" she asked.

~Adrian Veidt is a brilliant scientist. I believe he had a connection to NERV, although I’ve never personally met him. He unleashed a device called a Ray Sphere on the colony New Marais, killing most of the inhabitants and giving the survivors various powers and abilities.~

Azula, still unaware she was being watched, looked at the sphere full of prisoners. Some of them, mostly the soldiers, were trying to break free but they could not crack the sphere. The scientists and civilians were huddled together.

“Look, we’ll make this simple… I want T.O. Morrow. If you give him to me, I’ll let the rest of you live. For every time I have to ask and I don’t get him, however…”

Asuka flicked her wrist, and a large spike of red energy shot through the sphere and impaled a soldier in the chest, killing him instantly. Many of the scientists and civilians, and even the soldiers, screamed at this.

“I’ll start by killing all of the soldiers, the women and the men too young to be Morrow. Now I’ll ask again… where is T.O. Morrow?”

[Andalite Dome Ship]

“Relaaaaaax.” Rex said, brushing off Albedo’s concerns. “All I have to do is get to the actual ship… I need to be able to find a computer, then I can hack it and they’ll be no problem.”

[Odym]

The planet Odym was large, and 95% of it was covered in thick jungles and forests, similar to the Amazon rainforest of Earth. There were millions of various species, of every shape and size – and nearly all of them were deadly.

In one area of the planet, near a great lake, there was the unmistakable energy reading of a Lantern Battery. It was different than the Green, Red or Yellow energy, but it was similar.

[Haven]

Kanna’s dark energy hit two of the gunmen and immediately they crumpled over, now colder than they ever imagined they could be. They shivered, dropped their guns and furiously rubbed at their own bodies in a desperate attempt to get warm.

The others opened fire. Rica moved his arm and a fire hydrant exploded, sending a wave of water in front of them which quickly hardened into ice. The bullets were stopped, but the ice was quickly cracking.

[…]

Bane looked down at Ethan and… he laughed.

“You boast as arrogantly as your daughter… I wonder if you will fail as quickly as she did, hmm?”

Bane did not attack. He stayed in place, but he did not take a defensive stance. While Bane’s strength was undeniable, his true power lied in his brain. He was a tactical genius, and he immediately recognized that if Ethan was taking a defensive stance, then Bane should not simply blunder forward.

So instead Bane grabbed a grenade from his belt and tossed it – at Maize!

Yeah he’s a terrorist, he’s not going to play fair.

[Republic Military Ballroom]

Asuka suddenly became rather quiet.

“Didymus, I think I understand the Metarex better than most people do. I can’t pretend to speculate to their motives, but I can tell you one thing for certain… there isn’t going to be some mutual agreement to stop fighting. This war ends when one of the sides is too battered and broken to go on.”

She shuddered a bit. She didn’t like to admit it, but she could relate to the Metarex after her stint as Zerg Matriarch. Having an insight into the enemy might have been an edge, but Asuka was sure no one wanted her in the planning room.

So she pushed that out of her head and took his hand.

As Azula threatened the prisoners and declared her own terms, Jagan restrained Rei from acting by placing one arm on her shoulder and gripping lightly. He could not have her act impulsively now, or they both would be doomed. A moment later, he dropped behind the hill so he would not be seen, disabled his stealth field and started to quickly work on a small holographic pad on his arm, quickly pressing buttons as the computer beeped every few seconds.

He was setting things up before anything happened.

The small bots he released before were hack-bots, little mobile terminals that linked into data wires and controlled the data streams. In this case, Jagan was quickly gaining access to the facility's control terminals, through which he would be able to hack into the control center.

His plan was to find Morrow before Azula did. And he was going to use their own systems to do it.

Nova was a scientist, but his extensive knowledge in the field of nanotechnology gave the madman an extremely thorough background in programming. One only had to look at the Operating Systems of the machines he created, the nanites he completed, the various programs and complex procedures he delegated to machines to confirm the fact that he was good at it. Very good.

And Jagan was very satisfied with it. Nova's programming skills translated to one of the most thorough hacking systems ever conceived, one that was mostly used as a defensive measure for his operating systems, but could also be used offensively. And it was moments like now where the hacking system was used to its fullest effect.

Within just a few minutes of operation, Jagan began to gain control of various systems and facilities. It was slow going, but the more terminals and wires the little bots linked up to, the easier and quicker the process went. He noted that the defensive systems really WERE offline and not just gone already, but he didn't have the access to enable them yet. And they were not his target either.

No. He was looking at the facility schematic and the tracking signals of all the scientists and guards, trying to find the man Azula was trying to find. And the more of the map that he gained access to, the more twitchy he became.

They had very, very little time to do this. He just hoped it was enough...

Didymus paused.

"...well, it's good you say that, though I notice you avoided the other subjects I brought up. Heh, maybe that's for the best. An arguement would, perhaps, ruin this otherwise exceptional evening, wouldn't it?"

He chuckled.

"We can SPECULATE on their motives, a bit, but I do hope that Philanthropy talks to that Cosmo girl they have sooner or later...she MAY be able to provide a little context or something..."

When she took his hand, he drew her in and began to lead her in an elegant ballroom dance. Well, as elegant as he could manage. It was very much like the clumsy dance they had had in his quarters-though this time there was MUCH more space, and his dancing WAS slightly better-like a student who had been allowed to quickly go over the answer key before being given a test.

When it was over, he paused.

"Another number, m'lady? Or are you hungry? Dinner's being served..."

Every scientist who worked at the research station was issued an ID badge, and was required to wear it at all times, and even to carry it while off-duty. The reason for the badge was two-fold.

Firstly, the facility housed a number of both civilian and military projects and experiments, and access was restricted. The ID badges were scanned by the computer to allow people into restricted areas. They also contained small chips in them which could track the movements of the scientists at all times.

The reason for that was simple; there were a total of five separate projects being conducted at the colony, and some were more secret than others. It was important to keep track of the scientists, to insure no one was where they shouldn’t be – and to monitor them in case something bad was to happen.

On Jagan’s map a number of signals appeared, all belonging to various scientists. Each signal had the scientist name next to it. Jagan would see many scientists… but not Morrow.

For whatever reason, Morrow’s signal was not showing up at all.

[Republic Military Ballroom]

Asuka had chose not to address the issue with the reporters not because she agreed with them, but because she saw how irritated it had made him earlier and for once Asuka wasn’t trying to get on his nerves.

After the dance, she shook her head.

“Maybe dinner is better. We can always dance later.”

Kanna grinned at Rica as he blasted the men with water, before turning it to ice and encasing them. Despite all the strange and awkward issues the two had in regards to each other they actually really worked well together.

Kanna then clenched her fist, her hands glowing with a bright and hot energy now. While the men were still trapped she ran at them, throwing a super hot punch!

Odym

Crystal found herself staring out the window, looking out to the lush greenery of Odym. It was an amazing sight, but she was sure there were many dangers hidden in every corner.

"It's so thick..." she noticed with a frown "How will we find anything in all those plants?"

Kanna’s super heated punch hit the ice and immediately shattered it. The men who had been frozen had just had their bodies suddenly plunged into frigid coldness, and then reheated again. The group all stumbled and fell, and they were in a lot of pain and felt sick.

As they were on the ground, Rica quickly swiped an assault rifle from one of the men. It seemed they were all down, but Rica wasn’t sure.

“We need to hurry.” Rica muttered to Kanna.

[Odym]

As Sama stepped out the door of the TARDIS he looked around. The jungles, the vines, the thick, heavy atmosphere… it all made him shudder.

“… Are we sure that this Blue Lantern guy is hiding out on this crazy place?”

There were all kinds of aliens running around the rainforest around them.

Jagan could almost slam the keyboards with frustration. No signal. No sign. NOTHING on the monitors. Did Morrow now these things would come for him and disable his tracker specifically for those reasons? Or was the tracker destroyed? His frustration started to show on his face in the form of a scowl as the golden-eyed boy kept clicking buttons.

Without tags, he had to resort to camera feeds, but he still did not get anything. It was as if Morrow wasn't here or just completely vanished off the grid.

He made sure to check Morrow's profile to at least get his profile image and some basic data for comparison in case he randomly found the man, but otherwise he was just looking for any other assets he could use.

He was hurrying as much as he could, but he could only do so much to stop Rei from acting impulsively again. He couldn't let her do anything, but if she tried something... He could do very little to stop it. Her ice were a formidable power, and she was starting to get some of his psychokinetic abilities lately as well.

He DID set up so he could activate the defenses with just a press of a button, but that was a situational trump card that he could not play yet. Not while he could take other options...

Didymus nodded at Asuka. She was being rather quiet this evening...he wondered if this was a bad sign, the only time they could get along is when they weren't interacting as much as one was just shutting up and following the other.

He led her over to a table, and they sat down. The meal presented was fancy in all the good-and bad-terms of the word. Fairly small portions, a dish arguably more about the seasoning than the food itself, but still acceptable at least.

"We can get something else later. Heck, we may need to do a number of things later, now that we're here on Earth anyway..."

Galv hit the floor with Melanie, shaking his head and getting back up, helping Melanie off the floor as well.

“Melanie...” Galv said, looking worried, “Something like this...it's different. Besides, we don't know what's out there...And if you're having trouble with your powers, you really shouldn't be out there.”



Maize's eyes widened, seeing the grenade coming towards her.

Ethan moved, grabbing the grenade in mid air, spinning around and throwing it through a window, where it would explode.

“So you say you're strong...” Ethan said, frowning at Bane, “But just how fast are you?”

Ethan shifted into on the ground, then ran at Bane, much like Maize earlier.

Instead of going to a frontal attack though, Ethan dodged to the side, bringing his leg around low, trying to knock Bane down!



Bullets hit Samuel, bouncing off of him harmlessly. He staggered forward, the kinetic energy of the bullets keeping him back some.

“Yah...this isn't going to work,” Samuel said, “You're just annoying me and ruining my shirt.”

The two gunmen stared at each other, then pulled out a couple grenades, tossing them at Samuel.

The brown haired man frowned, two explosions hitting him on either sides. The two gunmen nodded, turning to leave, when Samuel ran forward, taking them by surprise and slamming their heads together, knocking them out.

“Annoying...”

-Odym-

“I'm detecting some kind of Lantern energy on this planet,” The Doctor said, stepping outside, holding a tracking device. He seemed completely undisturbed by the monsters, “Whatever it is, it's not Green, Yellow, or Red energy though.”

He grinned, producing his light saber and turning it on with a flick, waving the blade forward, and started to head out.

Cole sighed, following after them. He didn't like the outdoors that much, as their wasn't any place he could recharge himself, except some emergency recharge packs in his bag.

"I'm always having trouble with my powers, what's new?" Melanie said with a groan, rubbing her back. She then sighed, looking back to her boyfriend. "I know....But I don't want to feel helpless here...But if you're staying...Then i'll stay"

[...]

Kanna nodded, looking at the men one last time before rushing off with Rica. "Where do you think they came from?" she asked as they ran.

Odym

"Ooooh....It's kinda creepy here..." Crystal said, staying close to Sama but looking around through the trees and bushed. Suddenly something caught her eye. She stepped away from her boyfriend for a moment, peeking through some brush.


"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Crystal shrieked in pure joy.

There were bunnies. Bunnies everywhere.

“I wish I knew,” Rica said, shaking his head as they ran down the road. The lights were mostly out. The power grid for the entire city was down, but in some spaces there were backup generators running.

“Whoever they are, they’re highly skilled.” Rica frowned.

[…]

Bane was actually very fast, and when Ethan kicked low Bane jumped to the side and evaded it. He was nimble for such a large man, and he quickly rushed at Ethan and tried to slam him in the side of the head!

[Odym]

“Eeeeesh…” Sama gulped as he saw hundreds of bunnies that, for some reason, all had razor sharp teeth. It was an unusual sight and one that filled him with dread.

Sama actually quite liked the Earth variety of rabbits. They were cute, and they were pretty harmless… but every bunny he’d found in space seemed demonic.

“Hey Doc, how about we find these Lanterns sooner rather than later… I’ve got a bad feeling about all of this.”

[Republic Fringe Colony 227]

The image of T.O. Morrow that came up on Jagan’s screen was of a balding, overweight man who looked about sixty. It looked nothing like the real T.O. Morrow. Morrow had purposely disguised himself on the computer programs.

~Jagan, we have a problem.~ Rei spoke over the mental link. ~The Lanterns seem to know that one of their numbers is missing, and are looking for the source.~

[Republic Military Ballroom]

“Oh?” Asuka raised an eyebrow when Didymus spoke of later. She had a rather cheeky little grin on her face and leaned forward a bit.

“Just what did you have in mind?”

Didymus shook his head.

"Nothing you'll like. I was thinking that I'd take you to a cathedral or something and try to get a confession out of you concerning just what was going on inside you at the Fountain, then, depending on how that went, maybe I'd give you a view of the stars on Earth and then maybe we'd kiss or embrace just because we feel like we're SUPPOSED to, and then other stuff that will make you sick. Oh, and then after that, we'll stop doing what I want and I'll let YOU pick for a bit. Because we seem to only exist in a give-take, push-pull relationship, if relationship is the right term, even..."

He said this all flatly, hiding the sarcasm behind an otherwise casual delivery, taking a forkful of meat.

“Melanie...” Galv said, taking her hands. “You're not helpless. I know you're tough, you're strong. You can do wonderful things.”

He smiled at the girl, leaning forward, pressing his forehead to her's.

“And I know together we can do even more then either one of us alone...Besides...just because we're not in the fight, doesn't mean we're not doing something important...”



Ethan's kick was dodged, and he moved, barely bringing his hands up in time to defend against Bane, struggling against the larger man.

“You're stronger then I thought you'd be...Never had a challenge like this...” Ethan frowned. It seemed like he was having trouble...

Dun dun dunnnnn.

-Odym-

“I parked the T.A.R.D.I.S. as close as I could to the Lantern energy,” The Doctor said, “We have to go the rest of the way on foot.”

He paused, looking at the rabbits, then shrugged, “I'm sure they're more afraid of us then we are of them.”

Speak for yourself, Doctor.

Unfortunately, the picture was Jagan's only reference to the scientist named Morrow, so once he saw the image, he ran a check on the man anyways. He didn't have much room for improvisation, which is why he worked on what he knew.

Then came Rei's message, and Jagan swore quietly to himself. This mission was just falling further and further, spiraling completely out of control, and he could do nothing about controlling it. It was frustrating him beyond many of his previous adventures.

Again, he slipped into his accelerated thinking mode. Plans were analyzed from all perspectives and thrown out as fast as they cam. He could not use Morrow as a safeguard or hostage. The scientists were worthless, the Lanterns would kill them simply on principle, and already were wiping out one after another.

They outnumbered Jagan and Rei by a large amount. If they attacked, their survival was in extremely low percentiles. Sure, Jagan had access to the defenses of the facility, but they would only skew the percentile, not turn it into their favor.

What else could he do? Quickly factoring everything and taking out the things they could not use, Jagan still ran short on any sort of intelligent plan.

They could try a strike-and-run, but that would likely cause the Lantern to kill most of the people... Or kill one and tell them to stop or she kills another. And Rei would stop. He wouldn't for he knew their survival was paramount, but Rei would stop because she had let the heart control her more than Jagan did at the moment. And when she stopped, so would he, because he promised he would be beside her until the end.

She was far from impulsive, but she still let her heart bleed for the innocent.

What could he do... What COULD he do...

... Did he have no other option? No, he did have one more. It was not one he wanted to use, because it compromised the plans of survival for both of them. It was Rei's previous offer, one acting as bait and distraction while the other got the survivors out. Rei DID say that they should prioritize the survival of the guards and scientists above all else. This allowed him some leeway...

And he could make a great distraction. With his ability to target anything in the vicinity precisely and keep all of the attention on him and off of others, he could possibly act as a suitable distraction...
