OOS: Ahem.

May I recommend you get glasses?

*Rixika boards the Space ship*

Namine: So, you the ones Master Klak had me seek out...

OOS: Pitou has two arrows in his shoulder, what you gonna do about it, Zev?

Serecio: What on Akelebap?

*Red lights flood the bridge*

Serecio: Great. Still, the fool who did this might be able to disable my ship's weapons, but they obviously haven't thought about my ARMY! MUHAHAHA!!!

*As these words are said, Mushima and Hishima are vastly outnumbered by the robots*

Serecio: Time to put the 'Great' back into Great Being, I think! Pilot!

Pilot: Yes, sir.

Serecio: Activate System Restore!

Pilot: Sir, I believe the virus has locked us out of the control panel.

Serecio: Well use Windows search then.

*The pilot types 'System Restore' into the search bar, and it pops up*

Serecio: Oh dear, the virus is probably going to attack this next! Quick, transfer it onto my memory stick!

*He takes a memory stick out of his robes and puts it into a slot under the command desk. Within a few seconds it is downloaded and straight afterwards, the virus reaches the search menu*

Serecio: Hmm.

*He takes out his control pad and slots his memory stick into the side. System Restore is downloaded onto it*

*He then sends it to the ship's computer and activates it from his control pad. Within about 30 seconds the virus is purged*

Serecio: The wonders of technology, eh.

Pilot: Sir, although the virus has been destroyed it has damaged the main computer. Half of our database is missing.

*Serecio does this face*

------------------

*The blast hits Muta's leg inbetween the armour and sparks fly out. He grabs it*

Muta: You did not want to do that.

*Using telekinesis, he lifts Quick Billy up into the air, spins him around and then throws him into the snow head first*

OOS: Computer overheated.

Fan clogged with dust and lint.

I lifted the laptop, and over the fan, I discovered a quilt.

I'll try to reply soon.

Sorry. DX>

[ Icy Planet's Orbit: ]

Hishima: ...Looks like it's time.

Mushima: Indeed. Embarrassing as it might be.

*Both of them take out a pair of morphers and spin them in perfect unison*

Hishima: Kamen Spiker Knight!

Mushima: Kamen Gear Shredder!

Both: R-R-R-RIIIIIDE!!

Hishima: *Gains huge javelins on both arms, plate armor on chest and shoulders, and a blazing crest*

Mushima: *Materializes gears on the shoulders, on the backs of the hands, and on either side*

Hishima: GoGo Kamen Joust Blitz!! *Unleashes a flurry of stabs from both javelins*

Mushima: GoGo Kamen Chop Shop! *Launches a swarm of slicing and grinding gears*

*In an explosion of green and red, many of the robots are felled*

*However, they're soon overwhelmed yet again*

*All hope seems lost, until...!!*

???: In the name of the moon, I shall punish you!!

*Here we go...*


*A massive blitz of glowing violet ribbons tears through the robots*

???: Sailor Nebula~! *Has dark tan skin, lavender eyes with no pupils, and long lavender hair done up in long pigtails; she wears a white and purple sailor fuku with a lavender gem inset on the front of a chest-mounted magenta ribbon; tall dark purple boots and matching gloves; and a combination of full lower face-to-neck magenta mask, deep purple butterfly glasses, and an intricate golden band around her head adorned with a lavender gem*

Hishima: ...What. The. F@%k. *Reverts to normal*

Mushima: She's saving us, brother. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Sailor Nebula?: Stellar Nether Twister!! *Generates a huge cyclone of magenta and purple energy*

*It swirls outward, catching all of the robots in its grasp*

*They are quickly reduced to a fine shrapnel, which is then superheated by the cyclone*

*All of this forms into a semi-molten twister of energy and metal*

Sailor Nebula: Scathing Celestial Typhoon!! *Sends the vortex towards Serecio's ship*

Hishima: ...Who are you, masked warrior? *Voice shakes slightly*

Sailor Nebula: The girl who's gonna pull a Tokyo Mew Mew later~! Peace, my brotha!

*She disappears in a flurry of ethereal energy*

Mushima: ...Well that was new.

--- --- ---

[ Bebop II, Cafeteria: ]

Mamimi: *Jumps out of a suspiciously dark and smokey room* ...!!

Haruko: *Knocks over a table* You felt it too, Sameji...!?

Mamimi: A reference to Kamen Rider and Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew, in such quick succession...

Haruko: ...We must prepare ourselves.

Mamimi: Mm-hmmm... *Looks over at Makoto*

Makoto: *Is guzzling down parfait after chestnut parfait*

Haruko & Mamimi: *Go walking around her in circles, humming with arms folded behind their backs*

Makoto: ... *Doesn't pay much attention, until they start singing*

Mamimi: Oompa, doompa, doompidy doo.

Haruko: I have got, a riddle for you.

Mamimi: Oompa, doompa, doompidy dee.

Haruko: If you are wise, you'll listen to me.

Belphegor: *Joins in* What do you get when you guzzle down sweets?

Lussuria: Eating as much as an elephant eats?

Haruko: I shouldn't have, to tell you that.

Mamimi: You will get extremely fat.

Makoto: *Is choking due to laughter* ...St...St...Stop it...No more...I...I give up!

*She finally falls out of her chair, giggling*

[ Training Room: ]

Pitou: Hmm. *Yanks both arrows out*

*He proceeds to lick all over his palm and fingers, before rubbing that hand up against the wounded shoulder*

*In no time at all, the bleeding has completely stopped*

Pitou: I've done some alterations to my body's chemistry. You like it?

*Abruptly, four glowing strings circle around Ynot's body, a meter away*

Pitou: You've not forgot your old friend Strings of Agony, have you~?

*Each string's end lunges for Ynot*

Ynot: Never.

*fires off arrows at each of the spikes, setting them ablaze*

Oos: Zev, I do believe that post has the most shojo refs ive ever seen

OOS: Thankshya.

But it won't end there.

No no no~

~ ~ ~

[ Bebop II, Training Room: ]

*Each of the strings fall apart*

*However, several more begin to lance towards Ynot*

Pitou: It won't be that easy~

---

[ Bebop II, Washu's Lab: ]

Ryoko: *Teleports in* Hoo...Done!

*She sends a telepathic message to Zev*

*After returning the special bracelet given by Washu, she realizes that Haruko and Mamimi are also there*

Ryoko: What are you planning, Washu? *Scowl*

Washu: *Lifts up a box* I'm testing a new weapon series! You, Haruko, and Mamimi are the best candidates!

*She opens the box, revealing three small objects inside*

*Each is a starshaped earpiece with an extended microphone down to where the mouth would be*

Ryoko: I think you're really slipping on the weapons making, Washu! *Cackle*

Haruko: That is awesome!! *Immediately grabs one up*

Mamimi: Cool~ *Lifts up one of her own*

Ryoko: What am I not getting here? *Frown*

Washu: *Stands on tiptoe to whisper into Ryoko's ear*

Ryoko: ...Gimme. *Snatches up another*

Washu: Let's go~! *Leads them away*

Ynot: Never is.

*Each of the Spikes is met with Metal spikes jetting out from Ynot himself*

Ynot: Now, let's see how you like this.

*Sends waves of chain lightning down his spikes, into Pitou's, stopping it just before it hits*

Ynot: I'd say that is sufficient sparring today. Inflicting real damage wouldn't be helping in this war.

[ Bebop II, Training Room: ]

Pitou: Good point. You're quite strong~

*He retracts the energy strings and lightly touches his wound*

Pitou: An impressive use of your Cambio Forma.

*Soon enough, he's left*

---

[ Bebop II, Washu's Lab: ]

Washu: Get ready~!

*The other three are gathered atop a wide metal platform*

*From above descends a huge robot mounted on four boxy legs, with heavy armor and arms ended in machine guns*

Washu: You remember what to do, girls~?

*All three of them nod in unison, getting into it*

Washu: Then go for it! Show me what those babies can do!!

Ryoko: Star Brawler! Make-Up!! *Touches the earpiece*

*Three stylized stars swoop around her from the right as her clothes dissolve*

Haruko: Star Rocker! Make-Up!! *Touches the earpiece*

*Much the same happens to her, except for the stars going around her from the left*

Mamimi: Star Dreamer. Make-Up. *Touches the earpiece*

*Her process is the same, yet her stars swoop in from above*

Ryoko: *Gains a black leather tanktop, short shorts, elbow-height gloves, and thigh-height boots*

Haruko & Mamimi: *The same outfits appear on their bodies*

*Meanwhile, Haruko and Ryoko gain ponytails in their hair*

Ryoko: Well, this is a new one from you, Washu! *Flexes her hand*

Haruko: This is awesome!! *Cackles, trying out poses*

Mamimi: ... *Inspects herself contemplatively* ...

Washu: You girls might wanna pay attention.

*They narrowly dodge machinegun fire*

Robot: *Looms closer*

*Ynot finds Zev*

Ynot: So, senpei, What's the plan?

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Zev: Don't call me senpai. It makes me feel old.

Vi: We're still gathering our forces. D-Klak went on an assassination mission.

Zev: Hopefully, he'll come back okay.

---

[ Bebop II, Washu's Lab: ]

Ryoko: HRRRAAAH!!

*Her punch tips the machine back*

Haruko: *Summons a solid black, double-necked guitar* ALRIGHT!!

*She takes a flying leap towards the machine*

Haruko: CHANCE!! *Slams her guitar down onto the robot's head*

Robot: *Goes teetering back dangerously*

*Meanwhile, one more has yet to enter the battle...*

Mamimi: *Stares at hand blankly*

---

[ Washu's Viewing Station: ]

Pitou: *Has come to watch*

Washu: Huh? What's this? *Types rapidfire*

Pitou: Is something wrong, Little Washu? *Peeks over*

Washu: A couple of my files are missing...Strange. *Keeps typing*

Pitou: ... *The back of neck twitches strangely*

*He goes back to watching*

--- --- ---

[ Above Uterio's Camp: ]

*A certain ship has come to a stop*

*Within, two figures stare down at the scene*

Suzuka: ...Kagato-sama. Should we approach? Or maintain our distance?

Kagato: Maintain our distance for now. Don't approach yet.

Suzuka: Right. *Goes back to the controls*

Kagato: ... *Looks off behind himself* What's this, now...?

*A satellite of white metallic strips is rotating slowly behind him*

Kagato: That thing awoke? Hm. This may prove interesting.

*Nonetheless, he turns away*

--- --- ---

[ Icy Planet's Orbit: ]

Hishima: Hm? *Turns to look behind himself*

*A large figure approaches, before coming to a stop*

Takashima: Glah. Glah. *Huffs angrily*

Mushima: You were attacked...? And couldn't see the assailant?

Takashima: Glah. *Inclines head slightly*

Mushima: ... *Turns to Hishima* ...You don't think...?

Hishima: She might have been the one.

*They all focus back on Serecio's ship once again*

Hishima: Prepare yourselves, brothers.

*Both nod silently*

Ynot: That's okay, I feel old without anyone reminding me. Sometimes I wonder what the oldest of my species ever was. then i have to remind myself, I'm not exactly a makuta anymore.

*Sighs and leans against the wall*

Ynot: So, by the time Klak returns, we'll have rendezvoused with my crew. We are facing a literal God, maybe higher. Hmph, Makes me wonder how much Blackout wants this guy dead too.

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Zev: Heh. I'm sure he has his own problems.

Vi: Let's not jinx it. I'd rather not run into that megalomaniac again.

Zev: Too true, too true.

--- --- ---

[ Above Uterio's Camp: ]

Kagato: What's this, now?

*Several of the ship's instruments are malfunctioning*

Suzuka: It appears that a strong magnetic field has begun to interfere with the ship.

Kagato: ... *Stares off to the side* ...Remain here. *Teleports away*

Suzuka: ...!! Yes, sir... *Tries to right the ship's controls*

---

[ Sky Outside The Ship: ]

Kagato: You are the one called Rys, correct?

Rys: ... *Stares at Kagato blankly, as several smaller beings hover about*

*Possesses a flying saucer-shaped main body with two spherical structures for the shoulders connected by crackling yellow-green chains to large claws. All of this main body is composed of a very dark gray metal. As well, a conical structure rotates below the main body; a glowing yellow-green eye stares out of either shoulder and the front of main body; and a baseball-size sphere rotates atop main body*

Kagato: ... *Seems to be focusing* ...I see. There are sunspots forming. Your kind are magnetically-based, hm?

Rys: *Turns to stare again* ... *Gives a series of low whirring and trilling noises*

Kagato: I certainly hope you're not going to interfere with the - Heh, Generalissimo's designs?

Rys: *Whirr* *Whirr* *Trill* *Click-Click-Click* *Whirr* *Trill* *Whirr* *Whirr*

Kagato: No need to take offense. You're not exactly known for pacifism.

Rys: ... *Turns back to stare downward* ... *Whirr* *Whirr*

Kagato: You think there's some kind of Makuta down there, hm...?

Rys: *Whirr* *Click-Click* *Trill* *Trill*

Kagato: I see... *Chuckle* Interesting.

Rys: ... *Falls silent* ...

Ynot: *Sigh* Hey Zev, can I get your advise on something? Since beating blackout, I haven't been able to set a concrete goal for myself. I mean, Sure, we have this god facing us, but that is gonna be a group effort.

*Scratches his 'hair'*

Ynot: I mean, My ultimate Goal is obvious, but my next step just seems out of my sight.

*Stands up straight, putting his hands in his pockets*

Ynot: To gain recognition from all, that is my dream.

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Zev: ...Don't know how to help you with that.

*He sighs, resting his chin on the palm of one hand*

Zev: I'm just not that good at playing the "mentor" role. Plus, I don't give that much thought to earning "recognition."

Vi: Maybe you shouldn't actively seek recognition. You seem to have earned quite a name for yourself just by fighting evil and doing whatever needs to be done.

Zev: Plus, we've already got some dangerous enemies you could help us with. The Shima Brothers, for starters...

*Sighing, he massages the bridge of his nose tiredly*

Zev: The reason I didn't return to Jurai was to put my duties in perspective. Now, there's an immense danger to the Royal Trees...If Misaki-no-ki was manipulated like the Arboretum Notes are apparently capable of, I don't think I'd be able to live with the thought of such a pure being's will being shackled.

Vi: *Rests a hand on his shoulder* Calm down, Zev. We're going to beat them. Take it a step at a time.

Zev: ... *Sigh* Right. Right... *Looks to Ynot* ...You ever heard of the Juraian Empire?

*He seems to be hoping that Ynot hasn't...*

--- --- ---

[ Above Uterio's Camp: ]

Rys: ... *Click-Click* *Whirr* *Click*

Kagato: Hm? You want to see that Makuta for yourself?

Rys: *Has already begun to descend, followed by the smaller magnetic beings*

Kagato: *Sigh* What an impatient sort of creature.

*He teleports back into his ship*

OOS: I might add onto this post.

I dunno.

OOS: Blackie, you should click on that link, and scroll to Post n°259, and then you'll realize that I already am wearing glasses, thank you very freaking much.

*Two beings with electricity crackling all around them look at Namine, and smile*

???: "We are...."

*they attack Namine with several electric blasts*

*Striborg forms a shield around her, and blocks the missiles of electricity*

---

*Quick Billy gets out of the snow, and growls*

*Keichi continues firing*

---

*Klak walks up to Ynot*

Me: We can mobilize without D-Klak. Anyways, Uterio is no god. He thinks he is, and he may have the power of the Great Beings behind him, but he's not even close to one. He's scum that is hidden beneath a layer of gold.

---

*D-Klak, is in a lobby, not noticing his pursuer*

DK: "Uterio.....Come out come out wherever you are!!!"

*D-Klak approaches a table*

*Uterio is at one end, smiling. Rahksha is in the seat next to his*

DK: "There you are....Rahksha! Sweet mother, this universe's Klak f#&@'d you up, didn't he?"

*Rahksha stays silent*

Uterio: "Glad you could join us. This festival is to honor your losses."

DK: "I'm not here to party, I'm here to clean up a mess."

Uterio: "Quite touching that you actually have the gall to speak to your master in such a way."

DK: "You are not my master, Di Armechio."

Uterio: "I beg to differ. The tides of war have swung in my favor, the Great Beings have been tricked into following me......I have all the cards. All will be mine. Once I am satisfied with the bloodshed of these wars, I will use every weapon the Great Beings have given me, and use it against them. The only two powers left will be Blackout and I, and I am sure that Makuta will even bow to me soon."

DK: "You think Blackout is your ally? You think that all this will work out?"

Uterio: "Blackout is a pawn, yet he has no idea. He is a mad dog that the Architect unleashed, and I will make sure he does what I want. Then, he will be disposed of. I truly admire his defiance, however. It was one of my inspirations for this plan."

DK: "Heh. From what I've heard, Blackout is not one who is easy to manipulate. Not even Caiaphus could."

Uterio: "Caiaphus....I wonder if he still exists. He could be a powerful ally, from what the records have told me."

DK: "He's dead. And so are you."

*D-Klak throws a shuriken at Uterio, but the tyrant blocks it with his bare hand*

*a being appears behind D-Klak, and lifts the table with gravity*

DK: "Nadle....what the hell are you doing here?"

Nadle: "Perseus wanted to go with you, but I persuaded him to stay. You are not ready to fight Uterio on your own."

*Nadle slams the table into Uterio*

*the table breaks, yet sends him crashing into the wall*

*Rahksha gets up, and begins looking around*

*D-Klak force pushes him away, and walks towards Uterio*

*Suddenly, a wisp appears in front of him*

Shadow Storm: "You shall not pass!"

*50 of Uterio's men walk into the door, and begin firing their weapons at the heroes*

DK: "Time to go!"

*D-Klak and Nadle begin running towards the small army*

OOS: Curses.

Meca One: I want to know where you were before you were here, and how to get there. *turns up the volume*

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Zev: Hear, hear!

Vi: Do we have anything more to discuss?

*She waits patiently*

--- --- ---

[ Uterio's Camp, Main Building: ]

*Abruptly, a horrific sound of metal rending can be heard*

*Hovering into the room, followed by the many smaller beings, Rys stares at the growing battle*

Rys: ... *Floats silently in place* ...

~ ~ ~

OOS: I might add more onto this post.

What a surprise, right?

[ Icy Planet's surface: ]

*Trantoshen turns away from the battle, while Muta kicks Quick Billy backwards into a chair poking out of the snow*

*Epic music starts to play while Trantoshen takes out the scroll from one of the pin holes in his leg and unrolls it*

*He blows on it, and a lot of dust flies off*

Trantoshen: Hmm... I see only a route to the BZP Planet here... I need to get to Uterio!

*As he says the words "I need to get to Uterio" a whole new route appears on the scroll, branching off of the first one*

Trantoshen: Oh my... I never knew that this scroll had special powers!

*He continues looking at it, and the Olmak drawing there changes to a sketch of Muta, pointing to a location on the map*

Trantoshen: Mata Nui protect me...

-----------------------------------

[ Atuar Sadiares: ]

SM Yon: Looks like I have no choice. He's...

*He pulls out what looks like a flashing blue circle*

SM Yon: On that ice planet near Malchior IV, on the surface.

Lan: Thank you. *To Vok's guards* Now leave my station.

Vok guard leader: As you wish. Allow us to dispose of our mess.

*Suddenly, the VG Leader stabs his spear through SM Yon's stomach and pins him to the wall. He chokes for a while*

SM Yon: Hah... in my universe, I killed YOU.

*The VG Leader is emotionless as SM Yon's body collapses and rests on the spear. He and the other guards walk off, leaving a shocked Lan*

*Soon after, over one hundred of their Terugan ships take off from Atuar Sadiares' landing platforms and head for the Icy Planet*

---------------------------

[ Icy Planet's orbit: ]

*The Terugan ships arrive in the middle of the space battle, and a few are gunned down by interchanging firepower and explode*

VG Leader: Have you found him?

Random VG: Yes. I'll beam him to somewhere else on the planet and then we can go in.

VG: Excellent.

-------------------------------------

*Suddenly, Yon disappears in a mist of orange energy*

-------------------------------------

*He reappears in another part of the Icy Planet where he is standing on a massive flat rock surface*

Yon: Hey, what the?

*The Terugan ships land in the distance and all of the VGs come out, with energy rifles, and start walking towards Yon*

Yon: They found me. But how?

*He takes out his blue circle, but it is not glowing*

Yon: How could I have trusted the least reliable person in the quadrant: Myself. Agh....

*He sees a silver cylinder with the word 'Kensa' written on it half buried in a patch of snow behind him. He walks over, picks it up, and a handle with button at one end and three prongs at the other end extend out of it. He presses the button and blue lightning shoots out of the space between the prongs*

Yon: That's handy. Well, I'm gonna go down fighting.

*The VGs get closer and closer to Yon*

----------------------------------------------

[ Aboard the Nakamura (Serecio's ship): ]

Serecio: How are we doing with getting weapons back online...?

Pilot: Sorry sir, but there appears to be a tornado heading towards us.

Serecio: A tornado. In space.

Pilot: It seems so, sir.

Serecio: Well swerrrrrrrrrrve!!

*The Pilot rapidly types on the viewscreen and the Nakamura slowly rolls out of the way of the tornado*

--------------------------------

OOS: Whew. Long post.

[Meca One's location]
*MakutaKlak screams*

MK: BZP! I was on a planet called BZP!! I told you, Blackout teleported me here!!!

[Bebop II]
*Klak shakes his head*

Me: Not that I know of....What shall we do now?

---

[Uterio's camp]
*Nadle and D-Klak leap over the guards, and land near the Rys*

Nadle: "Are these Uterio's men?"

DK: "I've never seen anything like them."

Nadle: "They seem to be magnetic beings. I do believe I have heard of them before."

*The guards turn around, and point their weapons*

DK: "I have the feeling that we'll find out really soon whose side they are on."

---

[Icy Planet]

*Keichi's eyes open wide*

Keichi: "The map that led me to the Keruvim was burned....Maybe that one can lead me to Uterio, and the artifact. GIVE ME THAT!!!"

*Keichi runs towards them, and tries to take the map*

*Quick Billy gets off the chair, and punches Muta*

---

OOS: When Ynot returns, we shall see more of Namine, Darth Striborg, and the two beings that attacked them.

[ Shroom's room: ]

Shroom: Okaaaaay...

*Shroom yawns and tries to move all of his muscles in unison*

*Nothing moves apart from his hand, which Shroom finds surprising*

Moss: Eh, at least you got a bit back.

Shroom: Unless I'm much mistaken, I reckon that I'll get movement in the other parts of my body soon*

Draak'ha: He'll be depressing everyone in his path in no time~

Shroom: Shut up.

Draak'ha: Remember who has the moving limbs here~

Shroom: *Sighs*

*The door opens very gradually*

Moss: ...!?

[ Icy Planet's Orbit: ]

*The Shima Brothers manage to widen their distance from Serecio's ship*

Hishima: We don't have time for this...The master has waited for long enough.

Mushima: You are right, brother...But how can we escape from this battle unscathed?

Takashima: Glah. Glagggh. *Points to the planet below them*

Mushima: Takashima's right - We also owe a debt to the tuskarr of this planet. We can't abandon them.

Hishima: ... *Sigh* I'm afraid we'll have to retreat. *Closes eye*

Mushima: But, brother...! These people took us in! How can we abandon them now?

Hishima: Do you think I'm happy about this, Mushima!? *Glares fiercely, shoulders trembling*

*Silence reigns between the brothers for a while, until Hishima sighs*

Hishima: Forgive my outburst, brother...The master gave us life, and the master left us a mission. We must complete our mission as soon as possible.

Mushima: ... *Bows head* I apologize as well, brother. The master must be our first priority, now and always.

*After he closes his eyes for a few moments, their small craft can be seen jetting towards them*

*The three quickly enter the ship and begin to jet away while Serecio's ship is still turning*

Hishima: Let us pray for the tuskarr, and that young man Genis.

*With a flare of thruster fire, the ship is jetting quickly away from the icy planet*

Hishima: Higher up, and further in. *Bows head*

*His brothers bow their heads as well*

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Zev: ...Well, I sent a message to Washu. We'll be exiting the 6D Channel a bit early.

Vi: ...She's tracked down the Shima Brothers? How could she do that?

Zev: Washu invented a "temporal mapper" as she called it a while back. It can use several dimensional processes to judge where an individual will be at a specific point in time. Luckily, being in the Sixth Dimension allowed her to use it much more efficiently with a link to the Third and Fourth Dimensions.

Vi: ... *Turns to Klak and Ynot* A trio known as the Shima Brothers stole an incredibly important computer known as the Arboretum Notes. If they access the entirety of the Notes's files, we'll have more than just Uterio to worry about.

Zev: If they learn to control the Juraian Royal Trees - Hell, if they could control just one of an early enough generation, they could likely go anywhere through Subspace and might even be able to use Lighthawk Wings.

Vi: So. Where will this confrontation be? Surely a place key to their plans...

Zev: ...We'll actually be doing a short jump forward in time - A very relativistic kind of jump, mind; this place is so remote that even close to a week from now, the mainstream Universe will flow normally. You see, with how far this place is from any suns, if we were to take a look at any suns directly from there, we'd be looking hundreds of years into the past based on how long it would take light to travel.

Vi: Spare us the exposition, please. Where exactly are we headed to stop them?

Zev: That's simple: Juraian Research Station Teikoku-no-Kiroku. It's one of the few complete copies of the Arboretum Notes in existence. Only mom was told of this station's full existence in her generation, by my grandmother, and in turn, mom only told me.

Vi: Why would they be headed there, then? Surely they don't need an existing copy if they have the original...

Zev: Ya see, that's not why we have to stop them here...The Teikoku-no-Kiroku Research Station has another purpose besides storing copies of the Notes and other data on research...

*A heavy sigh escapes him as he brushes the hair back from his forehead in thought*

Zev: ...This Research Station has the access code to the full Arboretum Notes. Since it's not hooked up to any Juraian technology, it's entered lockdown. They'll head to this research station in order to unlock the Arboretum Notes for whatever scheme they have.

Vi: So...Why can't we head back in time to stop them from ever stealing the Arboretum Notes?

Zev: Time and space don't work that way. If we attempt to change the past, we'll only split off an alternate Universe where it was never done. Plus, only by travelling spacially could we survive in a new Universe like that. Reality would try to cancel us out if we went temporally. It's just safer and easier to go forward in time from this position.

Vi: I see. And I guess Washu can't see ahead far enough with her time-mapper to tell who won this battle?

Zev: Nope. Certain events in time are fixed, and some can freely change. This just so happened to be a very consequential "fixed" point in time. Whether we are the victors or not will determine what happens next. It's very complicated. I'm getting dizzy. *Tilts slightly*

Vi: Well don't do that. Once we're out of this Spacial Channel, we'll be fighting the Shima Brothers?

Zev: Yup. I've been able to gather enough intel from Washu to figure out that we'll need to split up to fight them - And we'll need to leave forces here to defend the ship.

Vi: Should I get ready to sortie our fighters at that time?

Zev: Yes. That would be very good. *Turns to look at Klak and Ynot*

*Eyes softening, he speaks in a quieter voice*

Zev: I'm sorry...But the Royal Trees are not just tools. They live and breathe as much as you or me. For beings who have lived so long and hold virtue so important, we can't let them be controlled by a malicious force.

*To everyone's surprise, Zev immediately goes to his knees and bows directly to Klak*

Zev: I beg forgiveness. We will defeat Uterio. We will defeat F-Klak. But if they somehow, some way manage to gain even an inkling of how to use the Royal Trees, it could become impossible to win against them. All we can hope is that if we don't win immediately, that the Shima Brothers can keep the Notes out of either one's hands. Please trust me - I won't let you down.

Vi: ... *Gazes at Zev with an unreadable expression* ...

*He turns his attention to stare at Nadle and D-Klak*

Rys: ... *Trill* *Click-Click* ... *Seems intrigued by the two*

*The guards are ignored*

[ Shroom's room: ]

*Yuuka appears in the doorway, blushing slightly, not expecting Namah to be there as well*

*Her wings wrap round herself*

Yuuka: Hello...

Draak'ha: What's up?

Yuuka: Oh, I just wanted to see how you guys were doing... Have you given up trying to sleep?

Moss: Yeah, we gave up ages ago. Come over here and sit down will ya? I wanna ask you something~

*Yuuka does so, stumbling slightly over Draak'ha's discarded clothes as she makes her way to sit down on Moss' bed*

*Moss moves next to her, smiling, but still without an ounce of mischeif in her gaze*

Moss: Can I make a deal with you?

Yuuka: Oh... What wou-

*Moss bursts into her explanation, leaving Yuuka to blush and listen*

Moss: Basically we want to go down to see Pitou and find this book, which will give us information about Subnixus, including Harpies. The thing is, I'm not sure we can leave this room without being eaten by a freaking bear.

Yuuka: ... Where do I come in?

Moss: Well, I was thinking Ursa would let us go if you told him we calmed down a bit.

Yuuka: I don't think that's gonna work...

Moss: Just do it for me. Pleeeeease~?

*Yuuka pauses for a while, and nods with a high humming noise of ascent*

Moss: Thank you~

*She gives her a short hug before getting up and pacing back and forth, obviously planning something*

Ynot: Sounds important. 3....2...1

*Ynot recieves a message on his com*

Ynot: My crew is within a click of us, you think these trees need to be saved, point the way. I know at least two of my crew are natralists, several love to blow who ever they can up. Contrary as those view points may be, they'll get the job done.

*He looks at Zev intensly*

Ynot: And thanks, I needed to be reminded whats really important

Namine: if you are my targets, things got a whole lot dimpler

*Klak smiles, and grabs Zev*

Me: Thank you, my friend. But the bowing is not appreciated. I don't accept bows.

DK: *chuckles* "Well, I guess you would like to follow us!! RUN!!!"

*D-Klak throws a grenade at the guards, and begins to run away with Nadle*

*they reach the door, and before other troops can notice, he opens a portal, and leaps into it with Nadle*

*The beings chuckle*

???: *both speaking at the same time* "Why do you consider us different....when we are one?"

*the beings become gelatinous, and join together, forming a large Hydra*

*the hydra's two heads breath fire*

Meca One: Excellent. *turns down volume* Now, tell me the exact coordinates of your prior location on BZP.

[ Bebop II, Zev's Room: ]

Zev: Thank you, Klak.

*After he rises up, he closes his eyes and focuses*

Zev: ...Alright. Washu's said that she can pull off an immensely improbable movement to get Ynot's crew to our needed location. We'll be exiting...Now.

*The entire ship quakes faintly, but nothing catastrophic happens*

Zev: *Looks to Ynot* Your crew should be right nearby. As should the Station...

*He sweeps his hand across the wall, causing an image to appear*

*The Research Station is massive, built on a disc around a central spire; several smaller spires jut out of the top and bottom of the Station's body*

Zev: Vi, if you could do the honors?

Vi: Right. *Takes out a phone like device and speaks into it*

[ All Over The Bebop II: ]

*The PA speakers all crackle to life*

Vi: This is Captain Viriathus! As many of you know, an important computer has been stolen by a trio known as the Shima Brothers! We have arrived at the Teikoku-no-Kiroku Research Station, where they shall be met in battle! All hands, pay attention - The sortie for our battle is as follows!

Vi: Hishima of the Shima Brothers shall be fought by Zev Raregroove, Ynot, Klak, and Chrome Dokuro! Mushima of the Shima Brothers shall be fought by Namah Calah, Anna Raregroove, Prudence Franklin, and Moss! Takashima of the Shima Brothers shall be fought by Tamao Glory, Draak'ha, Mamimi Samejima, Perseus, and Rutherfor!

Vi: All other hands are to remain here so as to protect our ship or await further sortie! The Makuta Anima and their allies, as well as the Varia, shall be assigned to help our entry to battle the Shima Brothers themselves!

Vi: This is not a drill! This is not training! Obey the orders of your superiors to the letter! Prepare for whatever the Shima Brothers might have waiting for us!

[ Back In Zev's Room: ]

Vi: Will the Anima be fine with this arrangement? Hm?

[ Teikoku-no-Kiroku, Docking Station: ]

*A small, boxy, familiar ship rests*

*The Shima Brothers gaze out at the two large ships approaching*

Hishima: ...Come, brothers. We must prepare. Our master prepared tools for this.

Mushima: Right, brother. The mission is close to its end.

Takashima: Glagh. *Follows after the other two*

*Many dark shapes begin to emerge...*

[ Uterio's Camp, Main Building: ]

Rys: ... *Stares at where D-Klak was* ...

*His (Its?) eye turns to gaze blankly at Uterio and his cohorts*

Rys: ... *Whirr* *Click-Click-Click* *Trill* *Whirr*

*The miniature swarm around him grows restless*

*Abruptly, a certain figure teleports into the room*

Kagato: Generallissimo, this is a being known as Rys. He and his swarm have been drawn by extra strong magnetic forces at the local sun. I'll ask that no one attempts to attack - Rys is a bit...Temperamental.

*Sparks begin to fly across the top of Rys's body as it trills loudly*

Kagato: Calm down. I'm trying to mediate here and you're not helping in the least.

Rys: *Has become distracted by something off to the side* ... *Ignores Kagato*

Kagato: *Sigh* Generallissimo, the Thurapi artifact has been retrieved. However, I don't believe it's meant to be a weapon...

*At the chuckle and look on his face, Rys's swarm instinctively cluster together for safety*

Kagato: ...We might have a kind of Cauldron. More useful than a mere cannon or blueprint, by far.

Rys: *Makes some kind of comforting noises to the swarm around him*

*Klak smiles*

Me: Perseus, it's time for us to right wrongs once again.

*Treveya, the Baterra, and Abneris walk in*

Treveya: "We just heard the announcement. If you need our help, and the Malchiorian's help, just say so."

---

*Uterio doesn't mind the Rys*

Uterio: "A cauldron? Interesting, and quite useful."

Rahksha: "Generalissimo, if I may, we should test it's power on a world."

Uterio: "Kagato, explain more about this particular type of cauldron. I need help formulating my plan."

---

*D-Klak and Nadle arrive on the Bebop, almost crashing into Namah*

Nadle: "Amazing...your ability to open portals is."

DK: "What are you, Yoda? And yea, the complete ignorance of physics is a strong suit in this game."

*they notice that they have almost crashed into Namah*

Nadle: "Sorry, madam."

DK: "She's focused on that book, so I don't think she's noticed."

*Draak'ha seems extremely satisfied with the fact that something is actually happening*

Draak'ha: *Giggles* Can't wait to get back into freaking action~!

Moss: Heheheh, too bad Shroom.

Shroom: *Mumbles angrily under his breath*

Moss: Eh, don't be so depressing, you can see why you're not fighting, can't you?

Shroom: I'm waiting.

Moss: *Strolls over to Shroom and flicks him on the nose* YOU'RE FREAKING PARALYZED, STUPID~!

Shroom: ... *Sigh*

*Draak'ha falls back on Moss' bed and writhes with giggling*

*Still sitting on Moss' bed, Yuuka turns to Draak'ha, who has now begun to hit the bed repeatedly in hysterics*

Yuuka: Draak'ha... I have a question.

Draak'ha: *Takes a few moments to stop giggling* Hmmm?

Yuuka: Where were you exactly before you came here?

Draak'ha: In my house in the middle of a freaking desert.

Yuuka: You mean that crashed ship~?

Draak'ha: Yeah.

*The Terugan guard Leader pushes his way to the front*

Terugan guard Leader: Hahaha. Yon, you fool. You think you can go against us?

Yon: It'd be better than going with you.

Terugan guard Leader: I give you one last chance. Surrender now, or you die.

Yon: I am not stupid. AghHga... If I go with you, a far worse fate awaits me.

*He chuckles maliciously, causing the swarm around Rys to buzz with unease*

Kagato: If we connect it to the right equipment, that would allow us to transmute large numbers of souls together with certain materials in order to manufacture incredibly powerful weaponry. However...

*Pausing, Kagato strokes his chin thoughtfully before he continues once again*

Kagato: ...Nox Nyctores have a tendency to heighten survival instincts while causing paranoia. It could be dangerous to put them in the hands of this army's leaders.

Hishima: You. *Points to Chrome* I would guess you are an illusionist?

Coro: "I still cannot believe you were dragged into this."

Angonce: "It is for the good of this multiverse, Coro."

Coro: "Is it? I doubt such a thing. The Knights of the Keruvim have betrayed us, save for that one fellow. They seemed to have noticed something was amiss in Uterio's plans."

Angonce: "I know how they feel. Once the armies have pleased me in their conquest, I will have Uterio disposed of."

Coro: "I'm sure the feeling is mutual. He is a despot. A monster that we put in the highest position. I regret the day I voted in favor of him, many centuries ago."

Angonce: "Sometimes, a tyrant is needed to put the people back in line."

Coro: "You seem to stubbornly hold to that idea. It has failed!!"

Angonce: "No. We failed the moment we began to allow the Users to have more control over events than we did. And look! Pandorica opened, Blackout became a god, Caiaphus nearly destroyed the universe, and so much more. Shepherd forbid something else happens!"

Coro: "*shakes his head* There are heroes who fight these evils. And now, we have made them our enemies. *begins to walk away, but then turns back* Oh, one more thing, Uterio criticized Naju.....but Naju was the one that brought him to our attention. Quite interesting indeed."

*Angonce says nothing, and Coro walks away*

*From a whirl of rose petals, Master Big Star emerges*

Master Big Star: *To Uterio* The Thurapi nearly ended themselves by the Cauldrons. That's why they were hidden away.

*He turns to frown dangerously at Kagato, red eyes glinting*

Master Big Star: ...As for you, Mr. Ruins Buster, you are on especially thin ice.

Kagato: *Chuckle* Apologies, my good sir, but I'm afraid your meaning escapes me. I only do what Uterio asks.

Master Big Star: *Smile* Yes. I recall you said exactly the same about Little Washu.

Kagato: ... *Scowl* ...How do you know about that? *Air begins to hum around him*

Master Big Star: I keep informed. *Sigh* Do as you wish, Uterio. Be it human or Great Being or a God himself, the Nox Nyctores are nothing to trifle with. They give much, yet they take much more away.

*In another whirl of rose petals, he disappears*

Kagato: ...He has a point, Generallissimo. It would be best to treat the Nox Nyctores cautiously.

*He abruptly rends the cloth bindings open and almost smashes Draak'ha with a huge fist*

*All of the Mist Flames begin to condense into her body*

Mystery Creature: *Trembles, unable to move*

Meca One: The acronym has two meanings. One, as you said, is Zerstörung durch Fortschritte der Technologie, an anonymously published manuscript. The other is the name of an organization. This organization was founded by a group of humans inspired by the manuscript. I believe its leader is known in your world as David Robert Jones.

*he reaches for the volume control again*

Meca One: Now, tell me the coordinates.

Uterio: "I never was one to listen to the advices of mages and their tricks. But I do not plan on using the cauldron myself. You must learn, Kagato, to manipulate others to do your bidding. There are two that are perfect for this job. The human Praepositus, who is a lab rat that thinks itself an apprentice, or Coro, a thorn that has been in my side for too long. What do you suggest, Rahksha?"

Kagato: *Smile* I know well how to manipulate others, my friend.

*He turns and prepares to leave*

Kagato: I shall alert you when preparations are ready, Generallissimo.

*With that, he teleports away*

Rys: ... *Begins to hover away*

*The swarm follows*

*As the Mist Flames ebb away, Chrome's new weapon can be seen*

*It greatly resembles a khakkara staff; rhe staff itself is made of a dark indigo crystal, topped by a semi-thick, pale indigo crystal ring with four protrusions on top shaped rather like flames. Encircling the khakkara in two places - Just below the topmost one fifth and just above the lowermost one fifth - Are two coiling, Oriental dragons of wrought silver*

*Encircling the staff just below the mounted crystal ring is a wider and much narrower silver ring, upon which are mounted six smaller rings which each dangle from themselves a narrow, pale indigo blade. Finally, the bottom end of the staff is mounted with a sizeable spike of indigo crystal*

Chrome: ... *Slowly raises the staff towards the gigantic creature* ...

Mystery Creature: *Eyes rolling back in its head, tumbles over*

*This releases Zev, Klak, and Ynot from their paralysis*

Zev: Charge in and attack!! *Rushes Hishima*

Hishima: *Doesn't budge an inch*

OOS: I'll add more onto this.

Or try to...Sorry...

OOS: AGH! Sorry Ynot, I should have made it clearer. I'm also putting up my reply to KoN so that he doesn't have to go through all the posts.

*The two beings smile*

???: "What you do not seem to understand....is that we are one and the same."

*the beings begin to wobble, and combine, forming a larger version of themselves*

*they fire a blast of fire at Namine*

((Hehehe. Redundancy is redundant))

MK: Ugh...I wonder if...my creative powers work here....

*Uterio laughs*

Rahksha: "Did he leave? I felt his presence disappear."

Uterio: "Yes."

Rahksha: "I don't trust that Kagato."

Uterio: "You are learning. Now you see why I appointed you as my right hand man. You were one of the most powerful warriors that ever served me. And, you knew who to trust, and who to kill. In war, anyone can be your ally......until the enemy is defeated. Afterwards, you must take out all of the loose ends."

Rahksha: "You're going to get rid of him."

Uterio: "Once I have no further use of him, I will. Obviously, he is of more use to me than Praepositus, so the human will die first."

Rahksha: "And here I was thinking that you had found a successor in the young one, my lord."

Uterio: "I intend to live forever. I have no successors."

Rahksha: "How long will Praepositus be in your service?"

Uterio: "As long as it pleases me, Rahksha."

*Klak charges at Hishima, summoning his Keyblade*

---

*Perseus punches Takashima with his stone fists*

*Keichi screeches*

Keichi: "GET OFF ME!!!"

*Quick Billy gets up, and shakes off the snow*

*Keichi takes out a power lance*

*Quick Billy takes out another pistol*

*they charge at Trantoshen and co.*

OOS: I hope I didn't miss anyone. If I did, sorry.

*Namine summons her blades, issuing a concussive wave of Ice, freezing the flames, turning them blue, and back on their senders*

Namine: You have assailed a Keyblade Wielder, Hope you are ready to die.

***

*Ynot Lets loose a barrage of Storm Flame Arrows into Hishima, at a speed only a mechanical body like his could manage*

[ Above Uterio's Camp: ]

Kagato: *Sits calmly in a chair*

Suzuka: Kagato-sama...You don't really trust Uterio...Do you?

Kagato: *Chuckle* Hardly. His only use is so that I can unlock Raiden-sei-no-Yōki. Then, he will bother us no longer.

Suzuka: ...I see. *Gets back to work*

[ Teikoku-no-Kiroku, Power Core 1: ]

Takashima: Glagh.

*Once again, he's barely fazed by Perseus's attack*

*Abruptly, Takashima finds himself being dragged away*

Rutherfor: Mystery Circle. *Gestures to a spot behind Takashima*

*Nearly-invisible, a gravity vortex drags Takashima in*

*He's then thrown clear across the room*

Takashima: Glagggh!! *Rights himself*

*He prepares to charge again...*
