[Haven]

Rica ignored the fact that Samuel had just killed the terrorists. He was a unrepentant killer himself, so it didn’t bother him much – although he was worried that if they started racking up a body count on Haven, they might lose their free ride.

[…]

Bane smirked behind his mask, at least until Ethan started talking about ‘letting go’. Bane was amused, and although he needed to hurry up, if this fight could be more fun, he would let it ride a little longer.

When Ethan rushed forward and threw a punch, Bane tried to catch it. He suddenly felt terrible pain in his arms. Ethan was a lot stronger now, and Bane had a hard time catching his punch. He stumbled back and had to let go too quickly.

“Impressive,” Bane spoke up. “Most impressive.”

He pressed the button, spraying his lungs with a second dose of the Venom steroid. He started to get even bigger, and a bit crazier. He rushed towards Ethan and tried to grab him – and if he did, it would be messy.

[Andalite Dome Ship]

Rex mixed his nanites into the stealth suit, and quickly turned invisible. He wasn’t too worried about these Andalites, but he decided not to start a fight.

[Odym]

Saint Walker nodded, and he led the Doctor towards a large lake. In the middle of the lake was an enormous lantern – the Blue Power Battery.

“It is here.” Walker said, and unlike the Guardians, he didn’t seem to mind giving the Doctor access to the battery.

Sama, meanwhile, paused. He took Crystal to the side.

“Hey… I was thinking… you think he’d give me a ring?”

Yes, because that will end well.

[Military Ballroom]

“Fine, even if you’re doing it for noble reasons – the reality is, you don’t know me. All you know about me is what you’ve read in some file. I’m not the problem here. I’ve been TRYING.”

Asuka shook her head. “I’ve been trying harder than you can imagine. But it’s got to be a two way street. Your boy expects me to completely change who I am, but he can’t so much as consider the idea that maybe he needs to meet me halfway. I like him, I want things to work, but I’m not always the bad guy in this thing.”

Clarke nodded.

"Heh...that sounds like him, alright." she paused.

"He may come off as incredibly stubborn, and that's because...he is. It's served him and worked against him, at least on a social level."

She looked Asuka in the eyes.

"And there are some things that you're right, he will not compromise on. Faith, namely. I don't know the dynamics of your affairs. I do know, however, he's not as harsh as he may seem. Maybe he hasn't modified his own behavior, but I imagine he wouldn't even BE here right now if he was still treating you as a proper member of the military."

She paused.

"And he's edgy, obsessive...these things he'll admit. I know he comes off as uptight, and he is, but...he know it, doesn't want to force it on others unless they NEED to be. And I don't think that counts for you. I don't know what issues precisely you're referring to, but again, he may actually be trying, or at least willing to admit his faults, more than you think. I know that while he may make a mule blush with envy, he's honest and willing to admit his mistakes."

Crystal looked over to Sama as he asked about a ring. The girl had to stop herself from giving a small laugh, instead placing a hand on his shoulder. "I wouldn't hold your breath after all the trouble we've caused...But you can always ask"

Don't ask Sama. They'll probably throw you into space. Or feed you to the alien bunnies on this planet...

Haven

The group was going through terrorists at a high speed, but for some reason Kanna didn't feel like they were getting any closer to taking out whoever was actually responsible for all of this. In all honesty this was making her rather annoyed, which was affecting her powers.

Every now and then her shadows grew and shrunk...Her control was seriously lacking.

Not that she cared. A blow was still a blow. And it was taking down man after man...Kanna was never one for control.

-Haven-

Lily was covered in cold darkness, and the girl yelped, letting go of Melanie and stumbling back.

Her body began to warm, and fire suddenly burst in her hands, crackling!

“Take this!” Lily yelled, and threw balls of fire at Melanie!



Bane grabbed at Ethan, and the small man dug his feet into the ground, intending to grab Bane's hands with his own and push him back!

“Whatever you're using to get stronger won't help you. It's artificial, merely a patch. My strength is real,” Ethan growled.



“There's a lot of mooks,” Samuel frowned, slamming his hands into the head of a man who tried to stab him with a knife, sending him falling to the ground with a broken neck, “Where the heck is their boss?”

-Andalite Dome Ship-

“We can argue semantics later,” Ben said quietly, slipping through the door. He frowned, the hallway was larger then normal for a human ship, and it's walls and ceilings were decorated in a way that implied it was more open then it really was.

“Okay, be careful...I don't know how good these suits are, and if we run into an Andalite, they'll find us either way,” Ben said, activating the stealth suit he got from Albedo, pressing himself close against the wall.



The two Andalites continued conversing, one of them stopping for a moment, it's stalk eyes looking over where Rex and Albedo were hiding, almost as though it was seeing something...

-Odym-

The Doctor nodded, stepping towards the Lantern Battery and got to work...

(Well, I now have to get ready for work. D: )

Sama crossed his arms a bit as Crystal tried not to laugh.

“Oh come on! I’d make a good Green Lantern.”

“Blue Lantern.” Saint Walker corrected him as the alien floated a few feet away, clearly having heard their entire conversation.

“Right, Blue Lantern…” Sama replied, and then he blinked and looked over to her. “Err… oh… you heard me, didn’t you?”

“You’re loud.” Walker replied.

Sama sighed, dropping his arms at the side. “Err… Sorry, it’s just… I want to make up for what I did, and if I had a Ring…”

Walker shook his head. “It’s not as simple as all that… but if you’re interested, I suppose we could test you.”

That sounds ominous.

[Haven]

“Mooks. An interesting choice of words… you’re right, of course. These are merely mercenaries we’ve picked up across the system. They’re skilled enough, but a pale imitation of our true power.”

A man stepped out, and raised his hands. The terrorists – at least the ones who were still alive – all ran back from Kanna, Rica and Samuel and stopped fighting.

The man was tall, wearing a brown suit. His hair was dark and he had a neatly trimmed goatee, and spoke with a British accent.

“… I suggest you all go back to your homes. Things are nearly done here on Haven, there’s no need for you to carry forward.” The man spoke.

[…]

Bane was struggling against Ethan, as the neither of them seemed to be able to get the upper hand. Bane jumped back, panting a bit. He looked a bit tired, but still perfectly able to fight.

“You see strength as merely a physical thing. True strength is more than that. You have a certain type of strength, but you lack what I have.”

Bane paused, and he rushed forward, jumping to the side and trying to punch Ethan in the stomach.

[Andalite Dome Ship]

“It sees us.” Rex whispered as the Andalite looked towards them. Rex paused for a moment, and then he suddenly jumped forward. His arm transformed into a massive sword, and he rushed at the Andalite and tried to slash it!

[Military Ballroom]

“You’re right. You don’t know. You’re not there every day on the ship.” Asuka replied with narrowed eyes. “I’ve tried. I’ve been trying for a long time, and so far it’s all been me doing the compromising and coming to him. It has to be a two way street.”

She sighed. “But I’m trying.”

Clarke simply listened as Asuka spoke.

"Well, if that's how it is, then perhaps you have to talk to him about it-as I stated, Didymus was always honest and willing to admit his mistakes. And he usually preferred when someone was open and upfront-or at least respected it."

She paused.

"And maybe he's trying harder than you think-but you know him-if there's tension, maybe it's because he's trying to figure out how to reconcile his ideas with your own-or at least figure out how to be less demanding, as I said...."

"...but I'm sorry it appears to be so difficult."

She could have said more, but decided that it would be REALLY pushing the bounds of professionalism (even more, at least) to comment much deeper.

"Wait, what kind of test would he have to do?" Crystal asked Walker, frowning a bit. She had completed the insane tests to become a plumber a few years ago, but she imagined it would be 10 times as hard...And dangerous.

It would probably involve fire....And hurting...Maybe Sama should rethink this.

Haven

"You must be f*cking kidding me" Kanna said, stepping past Samuel and Rica to glare at the British man keeping them back. "We've just killed a half dozen men, and YOU think you're going to stop us"

Kanna was bold.

[...]

Melanie's eyes widened considerably when Lily's hands formed fire...She wasn't sure how to react to it so she scrambled back and brought her hands up-

Okay, maybe that wasn't the best reaction to a fireball to the face...A searing pain hit her hands, and the girl let out a pained yelp. Melanie bit back another cry forcing her hands to glow dark, the cold felt good on her tender palms and would keep her fighting for a bit longer.


Andalite Dome Ship

Both girls gave a nod to Ben, Elaina mirroring Ben's actions to become totally invisible. Jade merely grinned squeezing the talisman tight and disappearing totally out of sight with magic.

[Haven]

The British man met Kanna’s threats and cursing with a simple stare. He seemed every bit as cool and calm as was possible in the middle of a major terrorist attack.

“I could stop you, but I have not threatened to. I merely suggested you return to your homes.”

He smirked as he spoke. It was clear that this was a demand, but for some reason he didn’t seem afraid of Kanna and her super powered entourage.

[Odym]

Walker pointed towards the swamp, and Sama shuddered.

“The test is simple enough. One must venture into the swamp and find the Ring within. One who exemplifies true hope will be able to find it.”

Sama paused. “Is it dangerous?”

“It can be.” Walker replied.

[Military Ballroom]

Asuka simply sighed and leaned back. The last thing she really wanted was a lecture, even if it was advice she SHOULD take.

“Look, it’ll be fine, okay?”

"....There's something in that swamp isn't there?" Crystal stated with a frown. She had a feeling there was a space version of the Lockness monster waiting for Sama in the water....She imagined her boyfriend would make a pretty good snack for a space monster.

Haven

Kanna glared at the man, not liking how he was speaking to them...There was just something about his voice. Kanna instantly stepped past him, motioning for Samuel and Rica to follow her. "Come on, we're going. I'm not scared of some bad guys."

Rica had a bad feeling about all of this. He moved to follow Kanna, but as he did the man struck. He drew a sword from under his jacket and slashed; cutting off Rica’s left arm in one swift motion.

Then he immediately turned on Kanna!

[Odym]

“It is a swamp, and this planet is full of life. I’m sure there are many creatures out there.” Walker ignored Crystal’s real question.

Sama sighed, rubbing his neck. “… Okay, I’ll do it.”

Welp, he was a fun character, but he’s pretty much screwed.

Clarke simply eyed Asuka, and realized she should probably stop digging.

"Sorry to press..." she said. "...but I just like to take care of my boys."

She stood.

"Enjoy the party. And let me know if he acts less than an officer and a gentleman."

She smirked, slightly, before walking off.

"Asuka? What...oh dear..."

Didymus, having ended his conversation elsewhere, returned, to see Clarke walking off.

"...I hope nothing...never mind."

He poured her some more water, and some for himself.

"Well, the speech is about to be given, after that, we may be free to go..."

“And what is it that you have that I don't?” Ethan asked, darting to the side to avoid Bane's punch. “BO? A horrible fashion sense? Am I close?”

Ethan smirked, then darted forward himself, bringing his palms forward to smack Bane in the chest!



The mysterious man cut off Rica's arm, and Samuel smirked, racing forward.

“Hey, instead of going after the girl, why don't you try that trick out on me?” Samuel yelled, charging at the man and throwing a punch!



Lily smirked as her fireballs hit, Melanie making more shadows.

“If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen!” Lily laughed, throwing more fire at the black haired girl!


Galv had moved the door a bit more now. He could stick his arm out, but couldn't get out himself...

-Odym-

The Doctor was tinkering around, making some Blue Rings!



Cole frowned, looking to Saint Walker, Sama, and Crystal.

“So these Rings are powered by Hope, right?” Cole asked, “So...wouldn't they be like the Green Lanterns and Will, and seek out those who embody Hope the best?”

-Andalite Dome Ship-

“No, you idiot!” Albedo hissed as Rex attacked.

The two Andalites jumped to the side, barely avoiding the attack!

<We're under attack! Invaders on the ship!> one of the them cried out.

Alarms started to sound...



Ben nodded to the girls, then paused as alarms went off. He grimaced, afraid it was him that set them off...but nothing was happening right away...

He saw some Andalites appear, decked in armor and carrying hand held Shredder (laser) guns, and hurrying into the Dome... They didn't seem to notice the three, too focused on getting to the known intruders.

“...Oh no...Rex and Albedo...” Ben said quietly.

Haven

Kanna gasped, stumbling back and bringing her hands up. Instantly shadows came to them, but before she could react Samuel had moved in front of her ready to attack.

“Hey, instead of going after the girl, why don't you try that trick out on me?”

Kanna glared forward, cheeks a slight tinge of pink. "Dammit Samuel, i'm not some little girl!" she then turned to Rica, hoping (as usual) that his powers would kick in quickly.

Worrying about that man was a terrible habit of hers.

[...]

"Get away from me!" Melanie exclaimed, the shadows in her hands growing even more as the fireballs came at her face once more. Suddenly the shadows disappeared around her hands...Forming into something else...Someone else.

A tall teenage boy stood there, a dark aura surrounding her. Cole was back.

And in an instant he was rushing at Lily, ready to kill her.

He wasn't as nice as Melanie.


Andalite Dome Ship

"Danggit! Five minutes in and those boys are already gonna get themselves killed!" Jade groaned quietly (as to not attract the unwanted attention).

"We need to distract them" Elaina said simply. ""Give them time to get out of there."

Because Ben was great at being a distraction.

Odym

"Sama!! You cower from BUNNIES. What makes you think you can go through a swamp of who-knows-what!?"

In his defense space bunnies were pretty scary.

[Andalite Dome Ship]

Rex growled as the Andalites jumped away from his attack. He dropped down from his hiding spot and turned his arm into a cannon; and then loaded it with a large chunk from the ground – and fired it towards the Andalites!

[Haven]

Bane jumped to the side and kicked forward, trying to catch Ethan in the gut as they moved.

He said nothing; he seemed to be trying to focus, trying to grip Ethan.

[…]

The mysterious man caught Samuel’s punch, throwing it to the side and then jumping back.

“You seem to want me to. Now why is that?”

Rica, meanwhile, was groaning in pain. His arm was starting to grow back, but losing it was still irritating – and extremely painful.

[Odym]

Saint Walker shook his head.

“No. If that were the case, I could just sent the Rings out on their own… but there is a test that must be taken in order to strength one’s Hope before they can get a Blue Ring.”

Sama sighed, turning to Crystal.

“I don’t cower from bunnies! Only YOUR bunny, which was made from a holodec and isn’t even supposed to be real. Plus it bites my throat.” Sama shuddered. “Besides, I’m a secret agent! And I’ve been to war. I can deal with whatever is in the swamp.”

Sama turned and started into the swamp… and nearly a moment later, he screamed.

“GAH! LEEEEEEEEEECHEEEEEEEEEEEEES!”

[Military Ballroom]

Asuka looked up to Didymus and shook her head.

“I’m not really in the mood for more speeches. Why don’t we duck out of here and go have some fun?”

Flashback

A group of young men stood in a snow-covered alleyway, chatting amongst themselves and having a laugh. Despite the bitter cold and the air there was a steady stream of warmth thanks a few lit cigarettes and an open fire in a trash can. It was obvious that these teenagers and adults were not honor students, but rather the ones who fell through the cracks of society and ended up as a bunch of homeless deadbeat young people, more willing to smoke, drink, and get into trouble rather than get a job. In the corner of the group stood a tall man with dark hair and green eyes, a lit cigarette in one hand, and the other wrapped protectively around a young woman a few years his junior. The girl was bundled up tightly in two coats and a scarf, so covered that her growing belly was hardly noticeable. She stayed quiet, leaning against her boyfriend and taking the occasional drag from his dying cigarette every few minutes to keep warm.

Someone told her that she wasn’t supposed to smoke while expecting…She couldn’t remember who, probably someone at one of the clinics she had managed to get to on occasion. Oh well.

Kanna didn’t want to be here but at this point she didn’t have much choice. She and Kain had lost their small apartment not too long ago thanks to some sort of debt that Kain possessed (Kanna didn’t want to ask specifics) and now they were homeless. Kain seemed to take it in stride, but it was obvious that Kanna held a lot of resentment towards him for placing her, her son and their unborn child in this position. An unborn child that was his. That was the kicker. He knew that his child and he was still willing to make her wander around the streets with a bunch of creepers and lowlifes, somehow trying to keep her little boy from being snatched up in the middle of the night. She could almost understand if he was doing this when she was pregnant with Jason, but they had a house back then. It was old and kinda dirty but it was a home. Now she was stuck out here. Through the years she had had several chances to get out of this situation, but for some reason she always stuck around Kain and now she was definitely paying for it. All the fighting both mental and physical (as Kanna was rather strong for her size and could punch like a man) and instability was getting to her, she was starting to feel like anything was better than just barely staying alive on food stamps and liquor with a deadbeat boyfriend and his homeless sidekicks. Kanna was actually starting to miss NERV.

…….That wasn’t good

Kanna blinked as the cigarette was placed by her lips once more, the girl shaking her head at Kain and looking down. Clutching her leg was a little raven-haired boy who seemed rather disconnected to the scene around him. He was more focused on a honey bun that his mother had got him out of a vending machine as a reward for keeping quiet and staying near her. The boy chewed the sticky treat, getting a good deal of it on his face and nose. Jason was surprisingly good despite his surrounding and lack of parenting, the boy often just keeping to himself unless he was doting over his mother and his unborn sister. That seemed to be the five year old’s newest pastime, patting Kanna’s stomach and trying to coax his sister out with promises of orange juice and sharing his toys with her. While a strange sight, even Kanna had to admit it was cute.

“I’m going to take Jason to wash his face” Kanna said quietly, unsure if Kain was even listening. The man seemed rather engrossed in a conversation with two other guys…Something about a get rich quick scheme. Kanna knew better than to hold her breath. The woman turned, pulling Jason into a small diner across the street and pulling him towards the bathroom without looking at anyone. This usually didn’t give the nosy wait staff a chance to make her buy anything first-
“Now aren’t you the cutest thing ever”

Kanna groaned, knowing they had been detoured. People liked to call Jason out on being cute. It was precious time wasted in her escape to the bathroom. She tried to tug Jason along but they boy seemed to be distracted by a plate on the patron’s table. It was a short stack of pancakes, drizzled in what had to be chocolate sauce rather than syrup. To a five year old boy it looked like heaven which is why he now tugged on Kanna’s coat, motioning at them.

Kanna just sighed. “Not now” she muttered, tugging the boy back and winning. Jason took one more dejected look at the pancakes and went back to his half eaten honey bun…The treat had suddenly lost its luster. He followed his mother as she washed him up in the sink, before watching her lean against the sink and close her eyes for a minute. Jason just frowned, slipping back out the bathroom. He was going to go watch those pancakes again.

The boy wandered through the diner until he made it back to the food, staring up at the now-half eaten pancakes with eyes the size of saucers. He instantly tugged on the woman’s shirt that was eating them, holding up his bun. “Momma says nothing’s free. I’ll trade you”

This sounded very cute (and strange) coming from a five year old. So cute in fact that Jason somehow ended up sitting at a booth with a family of four eating chocolate covered pancakes…He was good.

Odym

Crystal groaned when Sama was promptly attacked by leeches, the creatures making a snack out of the poor boy's flesh and clothes. She instantly waved her hands about, succeeding to freeze a few of the creepy creatures before they could do much damage....Though now they were stuck to him as little leechsicles.

"Pllleeease tell me that's the worst of what's in that water!"

Haven

"Oh will you just let us pass! We have more important things to deal with!" Kanna yelled, throwing blasts of light at the man's face. She was starting to get less and less patient with this game....
