Haven

Melanie took notice when Elizabeth started to make noises, the girl hesitating for a moment before picking up the baby and bouncing her carefully in her arms. She liked the child but she couldn't help but to feel distant from her..She felt distant from most people lately.

The teenage girl collapsed in a nearby hair, looking down at Elizabeth...She was so warm, like a little heating pad in her hands...Her naturally freezing hands tingled in discomfort. "You just want your brother too don't you..." she mumbled, running her free hand through her hair. "I'm sorry...I tried to take him away."

“We can stay here. If we go somewhere, there will be people around.” Asuka pointed out. Then she realized how that sounded and she frowned.

“What I mean is… well, I’m not good around people. We go to some movie theater and with my luck I’ll end up getting into a fist fight with someone talking on their cellphone. And… well, I’m not sure it’s that great of an idea to go to your place.”

She leaned back and paused. “I don’t know, I was hoping for something a little more mindless action.”

[Haven]

Ethan hit Bane! Bane fell back, groaning as he stumbled. Ethan had gotten a good shot in, and the super-strong soldier was getting extremely irritated.

“Ugh…” Bane grunted. He sat up, clutching himself. “… You’re not just one of the rejects from New Marais, are you? No… you’re NERV’s handiwork. Impressive.”

Bane looked down at a device on his wrist. He smirked.

“No matter… things have been successful enough. If we ever meet again, I will kill you.” Bane grunted, and he turned and ran!

[Andalite Dome Ship]

“Grah!” Rex fell back as he was cut by the Andalite’s tail! His chest was hit, and while the cut was shallow, Rex had to clutch himself. “Damn… you’re insane.”

[Odym]

Saint Walker bowed and looked down at Silver.

“It is nice to meet you Silver. Normally, we conduct a test to see if you are worthy of a ring, but something is wrong. You see… this swamp normally can root out the unworthy with its hardships, but something has corrupted it. I’m quite afraid for the young man I sent in not long ago.”

Walker shook his head. “… Wait, you are telepathic, are you not? Will you allow me to look into your mind, young Hedgehog?”

[…]

Sama shook his head.

“I don’t know, Crystal… something just seems really wrong with that guy. Come on… we should get back.”

Didymus only smiled compassionately at her.

"Heh, I was never too good with people either. Usually my orders were followed because those under me were the men they needed to be, not because I INSPIRED them. Heh. Maybe we have ANOTHER thing in common after all. And as for going to my place...this late, yeah, maybe it's not a good idea..."

He took her back to the shuttle, and sat down, gesturing for Asuka to sit next to him.

He started playing with his PDA.

"Alright, let me see...Anchorage...old WW3 movie, good stuff...hmm...The Huntress...yeah, that one's about Samus, or at least, the film industry's take on her, action-packed and LOTS of explosions, but something tells me...you won't want to watch that..."

Asuka never seemed to like it when he referenced Samus around her, and he wondered what she thought of the autographed picture of her that he had on his desk...

"...let me see, Crimson Cross, that's an old one, kind of historical fiction about a Crusader knight who finds the spear that stabbed the side of Christ...not a lot of explosions, but a lot of gritty medieval combat, and there are siege scenes with flame and such...see anything you like?"

-Haven-

Elizabeth closed her eyes, leaning against Melanie and smiling softly, enjoying the coolness of the older girl.

“...She really seems to like you, you know,” Jacob spoke up, looking to Melanie and Elizabeth. “I've noticed it. I'm her own grandfather, and she's still wary of me. But you...She perks up whenever you're near.”



Bane ran, and Ethan darted forward to chase, but stopped, turning and seeing Maize, who was still on the ground, wounded after fighting Bane.

Ethan closed his eyes, putting his hands together, focusing. He took several deep breaths, feeling his control come back to him. Once he was satisfied, he leaned down to pick Maize up carefully.

“Heh...sorry...Dad...” Maize said softly, “Guess I wasn't strong enough...”

“It's alright,” Ethan said, giving her a smile, “You did well. I had to let go to fight him myself...”

He then moved carefully, intending to get Maize to a hospital.

-Odym-

Silver paused as Saint Walker asked if he could look into his mind.

“Ummm...I'm kind of telepathic...” Silver answered, rubbing his head, “I'm not very good at it though. I'm a lot better at the telekinetic stuff...”

He glanced to The Doctor for a moment, who was fiddling with his Sonic Screwdriver.

Silver then nodded to Saint Walker, “The Doctor seems to trust you, and I trust him. You can try...but I warn you, my...memories, are kind of hazy, from before I came to this time line...”

-Andalite Dome Ship-

“Gwen, Kevin, I have the Escafil Device...” Albedo said, “Get us out of here, now.”



<You are insane, human, thinking we could have peace with the Yeerks...the only peace we can have with them is when every last one of them is dead!> the Andalite responded, then fired his Shredder at Rex!

Haven

Melanie looked up to Jacob as he mentioned Elizabeth's fondness of her. It was true that the baby looked comfortable against her, but Melanie refused to believe that the child actually preferred her to someone else.

"She likes Galv more though" Melanie mumbled, closing her eyes for a moment.

Elizabeth liked Galv more. Galv liked his sisters more. Jason liked Erin more. Heck, even Kanna liked Ethan and Rica more...And where was Melanie?

Andalite Dome Ship

Gwen perked up a bit, hearing Albedo's voice. It had been quiet for awhile and she was getting worried (because no news was never good news when it came to Ben. He was known to brag every waking moment).

"Sounds good..." The girl said, moving to start the process "Where's Ben and the others?"

Odym

Crystal gave a nod, helping Sama along...Today hadn't been a good day for him. "Come on, we'll get you looked at too"

[Haven]

As Bane escaped, the lights started to come back on in Haven again. The mercenaries who attacked the City seemed to flee, and a few covert spaceships took off leading the mysterious group away.

[…]

Out on the streets, Rica paused as the lights came on.

“… What does that mean? Does that mean it’s over?” Rica wondered, looking around. “We still haven’t found Ethan either.”

[Odym]

Saint Walker shook his head and placed a hand on Silver’s head.

“You don’t need to do anything, and I’m not interested in your memories.” Saint Walker paused, and closed his eyes. “My race is telepathic as well.”

After a moment, Walker nodded. “Very well… I believe you are a worthy person, and since we can’t do things the normal way, this will have to do.”

“Wait, what?”

Sama and Crystal had arrived, and Sama looked… annoyed.

“You’re a telepath? Then why the heck was I running through a swamp with leeches and monsters and spooky men?” Sama groaned.

Saint Walker frowned. “There are ceremonies for this sort of thing.”

[Andalite Dome Shop]

Rex jumped, trying to avoid the beam, but it caught his leg. He hit the ground and rolled, groaning in pain.

“Okay, I’m getting tired of this.” Rex transformed his legs into machines and he turned and ran down the hall, now much faster.

“Where are those idiots?” Rex wondered.

[Earth]

“Anchorage? Let me guess, giant robots and chimera tanks?” Asuka paused. “Yeah, okay… that sounds watchable.”

Didymus grinned.

"Some of that. A lot of Petraeus Tanks, too. And infantry courage-the scene of the Chinese fleet firing away as their own men storm the beach is...heh, well, it shows how much concern they REALLY had for their own people..."

He paused.

"...gosh, maybe I should apologize. You don't like it when I do that, right? Give my editorials-though this one was a positive one-instead of just watching the movie? Still, this one IS one of my favorites. It's historical accuracy and how they manage to tell an epic, TRUE story..."

He paused again, and grinned.

"I apologize, I'm gushing over a movie...when I should be gushing over YOU, right?"

He set up his PDA to play the movie on the wall of the shuttle next to them, and it projected it out.

The movie began to play, a historical background of the situation during the war and an opening scene of some US Army soldiers on patrol in a snowy coastal base...

...suddenly, Asuka got her wish-explosions. Lots of explosions as the Chinese fleet began its bombardment of the shore...

...as the movie played on, Didymus, in his silent, slow way, as if to ask for permission while actually doing it, began to wrap an arm around Asuka's shoulders...

-Haven-

Jacob sighed, taking a seat down, shaking his head.

“Young lady, you shouldn't be worried about who likes who more,” Jacob said, “Love is not a contest. There's no first place, second place, etc. It just is. Besides, when I spent time with my grandson, do you know what he talked about?”

Jacob paused for a moment, smiling, “He talked about you. So yes, my grandson may like to spend time with his blood relatives, but beyond that, he only has eyes for you. I think one reason he's so determined to get to know his family, is because he wants to know if they'll be people who will like you.”

He smirked slightly, “And if you haven't been paying attention, Elizabeth is quite fond of you, and for myself, I find you a charming young woman that my grandson is lucky to have found.”



“Don't know...” Samuel frowned, “Guess we should find some authorities, find out what's going on.”

-Odym-

Silver nodded to Saint Walker, “Alright then...is there anything else I need to do?”

He was nervous, but not scared. He hoped this would work...that he could help people with what was happening.

-Andalite Dome Ship-

“The teleporter should still have a track on everyone provided you didn't mess with it,” Albedo said, scowling slightly, “Never should have let humans handle that...”

Albedo isn't a people person.

"Sometimes I feel like it is a contest..." Melanie said with a frown, holding onto Elizabeth very carefully" I mean with my mom and her...Friends...."

She didn't really know what else to call Rica and Ethan....She didn't dare call him her boyfriends and flings just kinda sounded mean. All she knew is she competed for her mother's attention with these men and then her siblings...It did seem like a big contest of who could keep Kanna's attention the longest.

Besides, when I spent time with my grandson, do you know what he talked about? He talked about you.

Melanie blinked, honestly caught off guard. She didn't expect her boyfriend to talk about her when bonding with his family.

I find you a charming young woman that my grandson is lucky to have found.”


"T-Thank you" she said softly "Though I don't feel very charming lately, I feel like i'm just making people mad. I'm kinda a lot of trouble"

[Haven]

Rica (and presumably the others) rushed towards the large building that Bane had attacked. As soon as they slipped inside, Rica looked around.

“Ethan? Did you die? If you died, just stay silent and I’ll take care of Kanna.”

I’m not sure if he’s trying to find Ethan or just being a bastard.

[…]

The attack on Haven had ended. At the apartment building where Kanna had rented an apartment, the mysterious old woman was sitting in her living room. Soon, the door opened and in came Ra’s al Ghul and Bane.

“Well? Did you get me what I need?” The woman asked.

“Yes.” Ra’s replied. He stepped forward and handed the woman a PDA. “We copied all of the information the UTR had on the New Marais incident. A full read-out on the genetic changes.”

Bane handed her something too. “And this has the data recovered from Burke.”

The woman smirked. “Perfect. All of Kessler and Burke’s data… and now it’s mine. Of course, my research is far greater than anything those fools could come up with, but it’s nice to have something like this.”

She smirked. “Now… find the Master. I know he’s not dead. Wherever he is, I have a feeling he could be useful.”

[Odym]

Saint Walker nodded.

“I suppose it’s best to do this all at once.”

Sama walked over, crossing his arms. “Does that mean we get rings? Or… is there more crawling around with leeches and hanging out with weird men in a swamp?”

Walker shook his head. “My apologies. That was not supposed to be part of the test. I do not know who that man was, but I fear he is an enemy we will see again. Be vigilant and alert.”

He raised his hand. “Now… both of you… I give you these Rings. By accepting these Rings, you hereby accept the responsibility to defend and protect the weak and the innocent.”

Two rings appeared, and floated down to Silver and Sama.

[Andalite Dome Ship]

Kevin sighed, and activated the teleporter, trying to get everyone out!

[Earth]

“Please don’t gush over me. It’d be weird.” Asuka shuddered a bit as she settled in to watch the movie. She made no resistance when Didymus put his arm around her shoulders and she just sighed, watching the film.

“… You know, I’m a little surprised.” Asuka commented. “Considering how many times you’ve been on the front lines, I would have thought you’d want to watch something a little less like our real lives.”

"No gushing over you, Asuka? ...very well."

He leaned in closer to her.

"But surely you don't mind if I compliment you, if I feel so inclined..." he whispered.

He was glad she made no resistance as he wrapped an arm around her.

I still don't know if I really want to unify my life with hers...but...this...is nice. Thank Thee, Father...

"As for my preferences in movies, sometimes I want something more quiet, but...on the flipside, this is all the epicness and drama and excitement of combat without any of the fear or pain...well, except for what's going on on the screen. I love the stuff reminding us of the heroes gone before..."

The movie played on, showing the heroics and determination of the defenders, the insane odds they stood against, and the eventual dramatic liberation of the besieged area, the Chinese fleet destroyed by the US Navy and a liberation force landing...the movie's action scenes depicting the battles alternating with a focus on the generals and soldiers in the campaign planning it out, allowing the viewer to get the whole picture.

Eventually, the movie ended, and Didymus sighed contentedly.

"Well? What did you think? You can probably see why I like it? The heroics of those gone before-and plenty of action and historical detail."

He looked over at her, finding himself wondering...

"...heh, so is this the part where we kiss, or would you rather skip that?"

“...Life is not perfect,” Jacob said to Melanie after a moment, “No matter what you do or try, you will be challenged and you will either have to try and overcome or back down...”

He shook his head and glanced back to Melanie, “When Galv comes back, you should talk to him. I'm sure you can work it out...”



“I'm right here,” Ethan said, stepping out of the building and holding Maize still. “I had to help my daughter...”

He frowned, looking around, “I fought someone. He was strong...Not strong enough to face me, but strong.”

-Odym-

Silver took the Blue Ring, looking at it in wonder. He gulped slightly, then closed his eyes, putting the ring on.

There was a flash of blue light, and Silver now looked different.

“...Huh...this is really cool,” Silver muttered, looking down at himself.

-Albedo's Ship-

The others would appear in a flash of light, back on Albedo's ship.

Ben breathed deeply, and changed back to normal in a flash of green light, walking over to his “evil twin.”

“Here you go,” Albedo grinned, holding up the blue cube, the Escafil Device. “You remember what we agreed on, correct?”

“Yah...” Ben frowned, moving his sleeve to reveal the Ultimatrix, “So how does this work?”

Albedo snapped his fingers, and a device came from the wall, showing a slow, “Place your arm in there. It will scan the Ultimatrix. Don't worry, it won't hurt or anything.”

Haven

"Yeah...I suppose I should talk to him" Melanie said softly, standing up and handing the man Elizabeth. "I think i'm gonna wait for him upstairs" she mumbled, turning for the stairs and heading to Galv's room.

Galv loved her. But he also loved his family. Melanie couldn't handle the split in attention and in turn she was driving the boy crazy. She couldn't explain why she couldn't just be happy...But she couldn't, even when everyone told her she shouldn't be so insecure with Galv's love of her.

Melanie reached the room, slipping in and kicking off her shoes. She tugged at her dark hair until it fell past her shoulders and curled up on Galv's bed. She took a breath...It smelled kinda like the embers at the end of a bonfire. It was a nice smell, it reminded her of him. A lot of stuff reminded her of him, and all of it made her so warm and happy inside. She loved him-

But even if she pretended to be okay with the current arrangement Melanie knew it wouldn't be long before her powers freaked out again.

Great. She was driving Galv crazy and could kill him. Out of jealousy.

Melanie groaned loudly, stuffing her face in the pillows. She sat there for a moment contemplating really how terrible it would be if she wasn't around to cause all of this trouble. She would have sat longer if not girl involuntarily lurching up to breathe. The girl gave a little gasp, shaking her head quickly.


[...]

"So you were fighting too..." Kanna said with a frown, looking down at Maize. "She's alive right?"

That's Kanna-talk for 'is she okay?'.

Rica frowned as he saw Maize. “We should get back to the house. Let her rest, and see about fixing her injuries.”

He wondered what could have happened here… and he was also wondering why.

“Something isn’t right,” Rica muttered. “Who would attack this place? It’s full of the military and our fellow science-projects… not only that, but that person we fought ran off… we’re missing something.”

[Albedo’s Ship]

“… Ben…” Kevin frowned and slapped his own forehead as Ben put his arm – and the Ultimatrix – in Albedo’s device. There was no way this was a good idea! Albedo would probably try to drop them all into a black hole once he had the Ultimatrix specs.

[Odym]

“Nice duds!” Sama gave a thumbs up to Silver. Despite what had happened, the boy was in slightly brighter spirits. “But… this is still a problem. I mean, we have what… a grand total of three Blue Lanterns? And Atrocitus defeated and entire planet of Green Lanterns!”

Saint Walker shook his head. “The Blue Energy is powered by Hope. You won’t activate your ring with that kind of attitude. We can stop Atrocitus and his Red Lanterns… but first we must ask ourselves how they came to be.”

Sama tilted his head. “What do you mean?”

“Atrocitus was a warlord who massacred his own people. Abin Sur, the greatest Green Lantern, locked him away. However… somehow Atrocitus escaped and built his own Red Lantern Corp.” Walker explained. “But Atrocitus, while cunning and devious, could not build the Ring on his own. Few people have the technology and intellect to understand how a Ring is built.”

Sama paused, looking to the Doctor. “Do you have any idea? I mean, you’ve had a lot of run in’s with evil-and-smart people… you don’t suppose this whole thing was one of Burke’s plans that we didn’t know about?”

(It’s not. XD)

[Earth]

“Compliments are almost as bad!” Asuka said, shaking her head. “I’m not used to nice… nice is foreign to me. I’m used to yelling and shouting and the occasional punching.”

She eventually got quiet as the movie rolled, and she paused. Her face seemed to fall a bit.

“… I’ve seen this before… when I was a lot younger…” Asuka shook her head.

[Mobius]

A small, sleek spaceship floated silently towards the capitol city on Mobius. Inside was a young man who was on a mission… he had to find the Mobian leaders… they might be the final piece of the puzzle.

“I’m not used to nice… nice is foreign to me. I’m used to yelling and shouting and the occasional punching.”

Didymus chuckled.

"Oh, come on Asuka. We've been...hanging out...for how long, now? And it hasn't ALL been yelling and shouting and blows. Though yes, there has been some of that...but nice isn't completely foreign to you. You've been it on numerous occasions."

“… I’ve seen this before… when I was a lot younger…”

"Have you, Asuka? I suppose it would make sense Peterson showed you some war classics...or...I don't know, how DID you come to see it? Or...we don't need to talk about it."

He paused.

"I AM a tad curious about your life, Asuka, but...its past, I imagine, matters less than its present and future. And I of all people, perhaps, would insist that some secrets, perhaps, are best left buried, some knowledge, perhaps, is not meant to be known..."

He leaned in a bit closer to her, tried to pull her in with the arm wrapped around her already...but it was slow, deliberate, as if, again, asking for permission...

He waited to hear her response, deciding not to bring up that he had just fished for a kiss (but still wondering if there was a way he could get one)...

...it was nice. Nice, to be sitting here, to have watched one of his favorite movies with this girl under his arm...he sat there a bit, trying to take it in.

Thank Thee for this...

Something caught his eye outside. And something right afterward didn't feel right.

"Hey, Asuka? Did...did you just see something move outside? I mean, this isn't private land, so I guess it's not something too bad..."

But something didn't feel right.

"...something feels...foreboding."

Mobius

Sally was poised over a war room table, which displayed the RAPIDLY deteriorating situation in Mobotropolis.

"The final civilian transports are taking off to the evacuation shelters now." she was told by a general.

She nodded.

"And how long can we hold the city?" she asked.

"We lost the city already, m'lady." came the reply. "Apart from this palace and a few pockets of resistance here and there, the city is under complete metarex control."

"And what of the other colonies?" Sally persisted.

"The Republic Second and Fourth Fleets and Armies are being redeployed, we hear, to shore up that front-they aren't likely to fall soon. But for now-"

"-the Republic's still reeling from the surprise attack here, it needs time to organize an effective counterattack..." she shook her head.

"Begin evacuating the remaining soldiers-human and mobian alike-to the safe zones." she ordered.

"M'lady, you need to leave-"

"Begin preparations for that as well. But I want to ensure we get as many as possible out of the city." she said.

"There is one more thing worth mentioning, m'lady...the metarex have been taking groups of civilians alive. Shipping them into orbit. We don't know why..."

Sally was puzzled, but nodded.

"We'll hold as long as we can, until the other pockets of resistance are evacuated. All remaining air support is on transport escort duty, no more ground-support. Then we'll get out of here ourselves. Knothole is secure still?" she asked.

"Yes..." she was told. "...eagerly awaiting your arrival, but we'll need to be careful not to reveal it as we approach..."

Sally nodded.

"Very well." she said.
