“That’s the million dollar question.” Sama frowned. He went back to the computer, quickly typing in a few commands. “That video feed was from a surveillance drone that patrolled the colony… something must have shot it down after the bugs attacked. Maybe I can find another security feed that wasn’t destroyed as quickly…”

After a few seconds, another feed came up on the video. It showed strange aliens running through the streets of Horizon, dragging the paralyzed people off into the distance.

“What the hell?” Sama gasped. “I’ve never seen an alien like that before…”

He quickly slipped his hand into his jacket and pulled out his Plumber’s Badge, so he could check the shared Plumber’s Database – but after a brief search, he groaned.

“No record of any alien that looks that way in either the UTR Network or the Plumber’s Database. So what are those things?”

[Haven]

[Park]

Rica listened to Kanna’s question and he frowned. He understood now why she had stayed away from him, and from Ethan. Even with NERV dismantled and Burke dead, the wounds they had inflicted still remained.

Even if his body could heal, Rica knew there were some injuries he would never recover from… and he imagined how it must be for Kanna. They had been through much of what happened together. He knew her pain.

“… Who said I stopped freaking out about it?” Rica replied quietly. He walked over and took a seat next to Kanna, still cradling baby Laila in his arms. His eyes were closed beneath the dark sunglasses that constantly clung to his face.

“The things they did… I don’t know that either of us will ever get over them… but I do know that from now on, I’ll be here for you, and the children. Regardless as to whether or not we pick up where we left off.”

"I appreciate it...But I still think it best to keep my space" Kanna said quietly, looking to the side. She noticed Aaron crawling away and quickly scooped the baby up, now focusing on the little boy and not the man next to her. "My freaking out is slightly different than yours i'm sure...If you haven't noticed from my relationships with Jason and Melanie...And most people actually."

Kanna groaned, bouncing Aaron a bit. "I can't sleep. Haven't been able to in weeks. Wake up freaking out about Burke or thinking Jason's sill dead. Hell drinking myself into a stupor isn't even working anymore. That can't be good"


Horizon Colony

Crystal gasped at the image of strange aliens dragging people away. Like Sama, she didn't recognize the race of creatures....It was also troubling that the Plumber database came back with no results....

"Surely we can find a more extensive database of aliens....They can't be totally unknown" she said. "Maybe Hammah and Collete can try their luck"

Rica frowned, and he closed his eyes for a moment. The problem was more serious than what he’d thought originally.

“… You know, telling me you’re not sleeping and drinking more than usual isn’t the best way to get me to drop it, especially when you’re raising the babies by yourself.” Rica pointed out, but there was none of his usual amusement in his voice.

“We all need help sometimes, Kanna. Let me help you.”

[Horizon Colony]

“Maybe…” Sama replied, but his voice was filled with doubt. If Azumuth didn’t have any records of these things, he doubted anyone did. Perhaps The Doctor could know something more – but even that seemed like a long-shot.

“Whatever they are, we know what happened here.” Sama said, as he downloaded the camera data onto his PDA. “It’s a start… and although the colonist were carried away by those things, they did seem to want them alive.”

“… You know, telling me you’re not sleeping and drinking more than usual isn’t the best way to get me to drop it, especially when you’re raising the babies by yourself.”

Kanna sighed "Yeah, i'm definitely mother of the year at this point in my life. If it makes you feel any better I am trying to ease up"

Says the woman with the flask in her purse.

"You do know I wouldn't do anything to hurt them, right?" Kanna said, leaning over and pressing down Laila's messy dark hair. "They're literally the only thing that keeps me a halfway decent person. I want to be a better person because of them. The mother I should have been with Jason and Melanie."

Aaron clutched Kanna's jacket, now half asleep against his momma. Kanna sighed. "Come to my hotel tonight- Not for that. Maybe being around will help...Maybe I can at least get a night of sleep if you can shoot anyone who tries to mess with me."

“I don’t think you’re as bad as you think.” Rica said suddenly, as watched her fuss with Laila’s hair. There was a half-smirk on his face, and for once it was not the usual creepy one.

“Melanie and Jason turned out pretty good, all things considered. Given the hell they’ve been through because of our past… they’re doing pretty well. And the new babies will actually have a shot at a normal life… or at least, relatively normal.”

When she finished speaking, Rica nodded. “Of course. I don’t mind playing guard duty. I’ll even take care of the kids if they wake up in the middle of the night – or should I say when?”

Hawkins' House

Galv blushed at Melanie, nodding his head, “I like staying with you too...”

He paused, then grinned, “Oh, I can show you something! I've been working on it...”

Galv suddenly got up, turning to his closet. He opened it up, and instead of a crumpled mess, most of it was sorted in large boxes. He pulled out one, then produced a metal gauntlet-like device. He turned around and came back to Melanie, and showed it to her.

“It's something I've been working on...” Galv said, “I was thinking... power armor... I mean, a lot of power armor needs a good power source, so they tend to be bigger. But... well, I'm a power source. Watch!”

He slipped the gauntlet on, and he sparked slightly, a light glowing on the glove. “I'm still working on a lot of it though...”

Mr. Smoothie

“Then let's get to the ship!” Ben said, “We'll head to Sol and see if we can get into contact. They got to know who I am after all, I'm Ben 10!”

Ben probably was known by the U.T.R. government, but more in a “we should probably keep an eye on this guy” kind of way.

Streets

“Yup!” Erin said, “They can help keep you afloat in the pool! Especially if you've never swam before.”

She smiled happily and lead Korina to the clothing store, looking quite excited...

-Horizon Colony-

“Great... strange alien species...” Jimi muttered, then tapped his wrist.

“Hammah, know anything about these aliens?” Jimi asked.

“Errr... no? I'm an engineer,” Hammah said, “You'd be the one I'd ask about for aliens.”

“...True,” Jimi sighed, shrugging, “Okay... Can we contact The Doctor or Azmuth and ask them personally?”

Melanie watched curiously as Galv rummaged through his closet, producing a box which held the boy's latest project. She knew very well what he was capable of when it came to mechanics (he did build his motorcycle not that long ago) but she was still a bit confused of just exactly what it was.

“I was thinking... power armor... I mean, a lot of power armor needs a good power source, so they tend to be bigger. But... well, I'm a power source. Watch!”

Melanie watched as Galv sparked, causing his palm to light up. She rubbed a bit at her eyes, but kept watching. "What all will it protect you from?" she asked, wondering just how strong he could be if using his own powers as a battery.

Park

“Melanie and Jason turned out pretty good, all things considered. Given the hell they’ve been through because of our past… they’re doing pretty well. And the new babies will actually have a shot at a normal life… or at least, relatively normal.”

"I still don't know how Melanie and Jason didn't end up like axe murderers or something..." Kanna mused

“Of course. I don’t mind playing guard duty. I’ll even take care of the kids if they wake up in the middle of the night – or should I say when?”

"Don't worry, they aren't too bad. By now they almost sleep through the night" Kanna said before pausing. "Rica. I appreciate this...I know I probably sound like a lunatic but maybe it'll help....I've pretty much run out of any other ideas anyways."

Mr. Smoothie

“We'll head to Sol and see if we can get into contact. They got to know who I am after all, I'm Ben 10!”

"Yeeeeeaaaaah I wouldn't announce that quite so proudly when we get there" Gwen stated hesitantly "No offense of course but we tend to cause a decent amount of collateral damage when we go places"

"I'm actually half surprised more governments let you on their planets" Jade joked. "I always imagined you on a million no fly lists"

“Alright, but if we end up getting arrested, you know I’ll say I told you so.” Kevin shrugged his shoulders. The idea of being arrested didn’t particularly phase him, given how many times it had already happened to him.

“He’s a humble guy, isn’t he?” Rex asked Jade as he raised an eyebrow to Ben’s antics.

[Streets]

Korina quietly followed her into the clothing store. As she looked around, she seemed to be in awe of all the various clothes on the racks. She had spent most of her life wearing a simple white dress with a barcode stamped on the front.

[Park]

“Don’t mention it, Kanna.” Rica said with a slight smile on his face. He cradled Laila for a moment before slowly turning his attention back to Kanna.

“I’m not a good person. We both know that… but I’ll always be there for you. At least this time around.”

[Horizon Colony]

“We can try.” Sama agreed, nodding his head. “If anyone might know something, they would.”

Sama pressed the button on the Plumber’s Badge, hoping he could get one of them to answer.

Didymus looked back and forth between Asuka and Rinoa as they stared each other down; he would have to talk to Rinoa about what had happened, he thought, now for sure.

As Asuka asked to contact Peterson, in front of Rinoa, his mental alerts were triggered, THREE of the most passionate rebels being brought together on HIS watch?

...he told his paranoia, at least this time, to stand down.

"I'm sure we can find that information and get in contact with him easily enough. Come on."

“He’s a humble guy, isn’t he?”

Jade couldn't help to laugh at Rex's sarcastic tone, the girl giving a small nod. "Yup, but that's just part of his charm"

Gwen couldn't help but to overhear, and gave a small gag. "Ben....Charming....This thing between you and my cousin is too weird sometimes"

Park

“I’m not a good person. We both know that… but I’ll always be there for you. At least this time around.”

"You and me both it seems" Kanna muttered "I appreciate it though...Being around to help." Kanna went quiet for a moment, Aaron snoring softly against her now. "Even though I loved Kain with everything I had, I would never forgive him for making the choice of not being around. Granted Jason wasn't his and he probably knew that by then but he still at least had a bit of obligation with Melanie"

"I wish I could have gave them a proper father, even for a bit. They deserved that much"

Flashback

Kanna lied in bed, sleeping quietly beside her husband. It wasn't often that the two were in the same bed, but for once they had gotten along long enough to actually get some sleep (and not kill eachother). She would be happy to sleep through the night for once...But it didn't look like that was going to happen.

Suddenly Kanna bolted up, chest heaving up and down as she looked around. The room was still silent and Kain was still sleeping so Kanna took a few moments to gather herself. She still couldn't believe she was having these dreams, it had been years

"Momma, what's the matter?"

Kanna looked over to the door, her five year old son standing at the door. The boy looked troubled, so Kanna quickly got up and scooped the boy up to bring him back to his room. "Why are you awake love?"

"I felt you wake up" he answered simply, like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "You felt scared so I wanted to check on you"

Kanna blinked, but kissed the top of her son's head. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me love"

She was still amazed how connected the boy was with his power. He was just like his momma...

"Why does dad never wake up when you get scared?" he asked,giving a tiny yawn.

"Because he's not like you and me" she said softly. "Most people aren't like you and me."

She walked into Jason's room, taking a seat on the boy's small bed. Instantly he curled up against her and closed his eyes.

"What was your bad dream about momma?"

Kanna blinked, definitely not about to tell her son about NERV or Rica....Okay to be fair she probably should have told him about the second thing. "Nothing for you to worry about. You should sleep."

Jason didn't seem pleased with her answer, but didn't say anything against it. "No bad people are gonna get you. If they try i'll punch them in the head"

".....Thanks...I think" Kanna mumbled. "You shouldn't punch people in the head though"

“Is that what passes for charm around here? Huh.” Rex rubbed his chin with a slight smirk, but he decided not to say too much.

[Park]

Rica frowned. It was evident to him that no matter how many mistakes Kanna had made, she had tried to do right by her children. Life had dealt her a bad hand – and NERV had made it worse.

“Well, we can’t change the past… but we can do better by these new babies. And hey, Jason and Melanie turned out pretty good.” Rica said softly. “And now we can at least be grandparents to Jason’s kid.”

Not helping.

[TRS Crusader]

Asuka nodded, and gave a small smile. “Thanks. I appreciate it. There’s some stuff I need to talk to him about… plus…”

She hesitated, rubbing her neck and looking away. Normally this is where an angry outburst would have slipped out, but Asuka kept it inside this time. “Plus, he is the closest thing I have to family and it’s been a while since we spoke…”

"And now we can at least be grandparents to Jason’s kid.”

"Oh don't remind me!" Kanna exclaimed, falling back onto the grass with a soft thud and staring up at the sky for a moment. Despite the sudden movement Aaron continued to sleep against her like nothing had happened. "Solanna is wonderful and all, but I wish Jason would have at least waited until I was in my fourties to make me a grandmother"

She looked up at Rica. "You don't seem to mind as much though"

"You don't seem to mind as much though"

Rica simply shrugged his shoulders slightly. “It’s not like we were any older when you got pregnant.”

Although Rica hoped that things would work out better for his granddaughter than they had for his son. With NERV gone, there was a possibility that would happen. Rica gave a small smile, as his eyes drifted back down to Laila.

Didymus nodded.

"Of course. Besides..." he grinned.

"...he's going to be my father-in-law, it's probably best I get to know him, too..."

Hawkins' House

“Well, bullets, lasers, extreme temperatures,” Galv said, “This is just a prototype though, just... a way to prove that I'll be able to power it, really. Making the actual thing will probably take a while, but I have a lot of plans.”

Galv smiled brightly. NERV had wanted him just as a weapon, so when he was younger he had never really been able to figure out what he might be good at besides fighting.

And now he was finding out he had a knack for putting things together and building things, and he always liked doing so.

“I could try and build some armor for you too, but you won't have the same power source I can draw on... Hmm...” Galv paused for a moment, thinking things over, “Or just some stuff that maybe works with your shadows...”

Clothing Shop

Erin looked through the clothing, glancing towards Korina now and then, and then decided to simply buy more clothes for the girl then what she had.

“Okay, these should be good!” Erin said to Korina, “Just a couple things for now, we'll come back tomorrow for more clothes for you.”

Ben's Ship

Once everyone was on the ship, Ben typed in the destination, their ship preparing to take off.

“Alright, we're off to Mars!” Ben grinned, “Let's hope this plan works...”

-U.T.R. Border Colony-

There wasn't any official name to the system, not yet at least. It had been a more recent colony that the U.T.R. planted it's flag on, before the Fornax Insurrection and then running into aliens had slowed the U.T.R.s expansion.

It wasn't really suitable for life, but had a number of resource rich gas giants and asteroids, and so a shipyard had been built, building more ships for the U.T.R., the families of those working there staying in some artificial colonies on a handful of moons around the largest gas giant.

It was here that the Ark was descending into and sending their signal out... and here where part of the U.T.R. fleet currently found itself in it's patrol of the border, this particular small fleet which held Richard Peterson, a brilliant tactician who had sided with the Rebellion, believing the outer colonies needed to be independent. With the war between aliens such as the Metarex, and new threats that emerged, Peterson had been, somewhat begrudgingly, pardoned, and ordered to help defend the border... In part because he was still seen as fairly popular in the border, and part because his tactics had helped keep the Rebellion alive for as long as it did.

He wasn't in charge of the ships, that was an Admiral's job, Peterson lead the mobile suits as part of the fleet, used as a kind of space infantry.
