*David Robert Jones appears in front of B6*

David Robert Jones: You will do nothing of the kind. *takes out a gun and fires a blast of energy which throws B6 into his chair*

*meanwhile, the mysterious creature from Kakamu's funeral site appears before MK*

MC: Rrr. *slashes at MK with its claws*

[ Teikoku-no-Kiroku, Outer Hull: ]

Disembodied Voice: Activating Barrier.

*An immense barrier coils around the research station, protecting it*

[ Within the Station: ]

Zev: ...Someone's firing on us.

Tamao: Relax, brother. The shield is up.

*Meanwhile, Anna and Mushima continue trading blows*

*Suddenly, Mushima realizes that a shape has formed above him*

*It can only be described as a totem pole of solid silver*

Anna: You wished to see the Patch Tribe's arts before you died. Very well. O.S.: Father's Gift.

*An immense blast of energy surges down with blinding light*

*When the light fades, Mushima is yet standing - However...*

Mushima: Hff...Hff... *An immense hole is burned almost completely through his chest*

Anna: ...I choose to spare your life.

Mushima: ... *Eyes narrow* End...It...Don't...Spit on...My...Honor...

Anna: The victor chooses who lives and dies...And I will not kill someone who has already lost.

Mushima: ... *Reaches shakily into his cloak* ...Return Module, Enter Command: Dreaming.

*With a click!, he's disappeared utterly*

*Everyone looks to where he was for a few moments more*

Zev: ...C'mon, gang. Let's see who's trying to attack us.

*He moves to lead everyone out*

OOS: I may expand this post.

I dunno.

V: Damn! A shield! No non-Zion base could have this tech... Unless...

*Suddenly, the Ship transforms into something more deadly*



V: Engaging enemy vessel with shield-draining fists

*The Aries grabs the Station, trying to drain it's shields with the palms of it's hands*

[ Teikoku-no-Kiroku: ]

*Abruptly, the shields drop*

*Immediately after, the Bebop II emerges and rams the Aries out of the way*

*On a transmission, Vi speaks to V. on the Aries*

Vi: This is Viriathus, Captain of the Bebop II. As an ally of Empress Misaki Masaki Raregroove, First Prince Zev Raregroove, First Princess Tamao Glory, and Second Princess Anna Raregroove, I demand to know why you are attacking this Juraian Research Station.

*Suddenly, a bunch of Ed Smilis appear in the corner*

Ed's Voice: Does that mecha have a shield-draining mechanism? Ed wants ta know~!

Vi: Quiet, Ed. I'm trying to get information.

Ed's Voice: Baw. *Cuts out*

Vi: *To V.* Well?

EDIT:

[ City at Night, Back Alley: ]

Klaud: *Stares at a warped, boarded-up door* You're serious.

Kay: Mm-hm. *Forms a large key in her hand, lightly touching the door*

*In an instant, the door morphs into a large, metal elevator*

Klaud: ...Show off. *Gets in with her nonetheless*

*They begin to descend*

Klaud: What I would give for some elevator music.

*He falls silent*

V: My name is Veronica Santaneglo of the Zion Cluster. My mission is to destroy any and all Tech that could be used to promote war.

*The Aries' head turns to the station*

V: This station is in Violation of the laws of the Zion Cluster Outsider Treaty. Neutralizing.

*The Aries grabs part of the Station, trying to crush it*

[ Teikoku-no-Kiroku: ]

Vi: Yeah. You won't be doing that.

*Two glowing projectiles are launched into the Aries*

*With an immense buzzing noise, two figures appear inside*

Pitou: Now, now. I'm sure we can talk this over. *Tail curls slightly*

Xanxus: If not, I'd be happy to blow you to bits.

Pitou: Xanxus~ That's rude~

Xanxus: Like I care.

~ ~ ~

OOS: If this isn't okay, I'll edit.

...Sorry...

OOS: Guys, I'm revamping my main character, if that's okay.

[ In an empty length of space: ]

*A certain blue living star is in it's rest period, his appearance seeming rocky and uneven, vains of fire in the gaps of the stony plates that make his body, his large eyes are closed, and his hands are absorbed into his body*

*He floats there, completely at peace, meditating with the silence of space*

*Minutes pass, and eventually the calm and silence is broken by the arrival of someone that no-one will remember*

???: Ah, he's resting. Well, we have allot more people to hunt down... We might have to take out this order alone.

*The figure is quite allot different than TBS. It is a Kernian male with long silver hair that floats serenely in the absence of gravity, his eyes are completely gold and he seems to be wearing leather battle armor at the top, and contrasting worn, blue jeans. His leather shoes seem to be bladed with some kind of metal at the edges, he overall has a strange but somehow calm appearance*

???: I forget how to awaken him... Hmmm...

*He fumbles around in his pockets, his finds two bronze coins, a grey lighter and a button*

???: I know one of these does something... Ah.

*With a noise of satisfaction, he realizes what the lighter is*

???: ... Oxygen. Needs oxygen...

*He waves his hand lazily and creates pocket of oxygen around the lighter, he clicks it, the flame spluttering to life*

*Slowly, he floats down to TBS and holds the lighter's flame to him*

???: ... I should really have done this from a distance.

*With a great roar of flames, TBS' body ignites, showing those familiar blue flames, the Kernian goes back suddenly*

*In a few moments, TBS' great, glowing eyes open, looking imperiously at the Kernian*

TBS: Gekkou...

Gekkou: We need... Your help, really. We have some particularly dangerous targets to chase and you are kind of the only one that can tank for us so we can bring them down.

TBS: ... Tank?

*He heaves a great breath, heat blowing out in all directions*

TBS: I shall... Take them by myself.

Gekkou: But you're not strong enough to-

TBS: With rest... The body grows... Good things come from rest...

Gekkou: You mean you are stronger?

TBS: I shall take one of them... You and the other two should be able to handle the others...

Gekkou: Right... Thank you.

TBS: Now... Let me rest for a while longer... I need a bit more time to summon my hands.

Gekkou: I shall prepare for the mission.

*Gekkou vanishes with a glow*

OOS: And yet another RPG post.

*MK blocks the slashes*

MK: What the bloody hell are you?

---

*B6 gets up*

B6: "Who do you think you are?"

---
*Klak and Perseus have reunited with Nadle, Treveya, the Baterra, and D-Klak*

Me: Is everyone alright?

Treveya: "Yeah, we are. Jinx is on her way with the Malchiorian squad that was with us."

Me: Perfect. Now, we find out what's attacking this space station.

DK: "We don't need to. Vi took out the Bebop, and is teaching our assailant a lesson."

Nadle: "Where to next?"

Me: An old friend of mine has reappeared. I must find him. He could help us. You remember Ta'harok, don't you?

Baterra: "Of course!"

Nadle: "He lives? Interesting."

Treveya: "Yes, I remember him. Didn't he try to kill you several times?"

DK: "A Ta'har? What are you, mad? I've heard of that species, and they are bad news. But then again, unleashing one of those would give Uterio a field day."

Me: Right. And sure, Treveya, he's tried to kill me. But so has Nadle, and D-Klak. And I think you tried once, too. Many of my friends have tried to hurt me in some way, but we've found common ground. And in this war, we'll need any ally we can get.....just as long as they hate Blackout, and Uterio.

DK: "Wow, just when I thought we had nothing in common. *chuckles* Do I call Abneris, or do we go with Zev?"

Perseus: "Abneris. But tell Zev to reunite with us."

*D-Klak takes out a communicator*

OOS: Missing anyone, am I?

[ Open space: ]

*A very peculiar ship flies not too far from Subnixus*

*The ship looks suspiciously like the ship from asteroids, as it is a wedge shape, there are large thrusters at the back and turrets lining the side, the most strange thing about the ship is it is COMPLETELY covered in bumper-stickers, each with their own stupid joke on it*

*A small pod approaches the ship, and it is taken in one of the pod slots on the side by a tractor beam as it gets in range, the pod locks in firmly to the side of the ship, dwarfed by the ship's size*

[ Inside the pod: ]

*The pod's interior is quite small. The walls, ceiling and floor is made of a smooth, red material. In the middle of the room are two chairs, both filled by male figures, on the opposite wall to the chairs is a large screen that takes up half of the wall's size*

*One of the figures is lounging on his chair, watching the episode of Blood plus on the screen, he has light brown hair tied back in a ponytail with one thick blonde highlight in going up the middle, he has dark blue eyes. He is wearing soft, white, baggy pants, held up with a neon blue belt. On his upper body he is wearing a loose, brown shirt*

*The other one is also watching the screen, but with a less relaxed air about him, he is sat straight upright, and is obviously quite nervous. All of his face apart from his mouth is covered by a baby whale-dragon skull made into a helmet, all of his armor is made of bones. All of it. Even his sword strapped to his back is made of bones*

*They both continue watching, waiting for something*

*Ynot talks through his wrist communicator*

Ynot: Vultran, open up that portal.

Vultran: Sorry, I don't feel like it

Ynot: Let me rephrase. Open it, or when i get there, I will feed your shell to Shika's Hollows, kapiche?

Vultran: Um...let me think....

*The Ironclad rocks in wake of V's assault*

Vultran: Hmm, guess I have no choice...

*The portal opens and Ynot and Crew file through*

Ynot: Alright, battle stations. Sasuken and Blade, get out on the hull and fry the fire that comes our way. Kurenitsu and Trixitin, cloak the ship, make it so no one can see it. Cicero, Xeno, Hokagetsu, and Asumaru on turrets. Everyone else on ship control. Take us over and above the enemy, then unleash bursts of fire, moving after each one.

*They do so, unleashing a confusing blitz of fire attacking V's ship from seemingly nowhere, being cloaked by both Magic and technology*

***

Namine: I feel like that was the tip of the Ice berg. What do you think, Master Klak? Am I ready to face The Organization, or do I still need more time?

***

*MY leaps over the wave, kicking Blackout in the face*

MY: You have soiled the grounds of this domain long enough. You will release my comrades, then you will submit to the will of The Users again. Today I stop living through Ynot, and prove my own worth!

*MY gets in close and starts punching away,, staying close enough so that firing any sort of energy blast would backfire on Blackout as well*

[ Space Around Teikoku-no-Kiroku: ]

*A connection is patched to the Ironclad*

Vi: Be careful. We sent Xanxus and Pitou to try and negotiate.

*Her voice ceases with a blip of static*

~ ~ ~

OOS: Hmmm.

I decided I might as well continue my little sub-plot.

Let's see if these vampires make you take them seriously once again.

Mmmyes.

[ City at Night, Belowground: ]

Klaud: *Follows Kay down a tunnel*

*Cold and dank, a faint stench of death can be detected*

Kay: We'll soon be there. *Keeps walking*

Klaud: Sure. And I'm sure I'll love what we find.

*Eventually, they reach a set of steps*

*Up they go, arriving in what appears to be an abandoned prison*

*However, many walls are knocked out, making room for tables and other amenities*

*A tall man with a mustache and eyepatch stands at a bar, wiping numerous glasses with a cloth*

Kay: We just need to wait here for the Local Supervisor to arrive.

Klaud: Oh, wonderful. Vampires have supervisors.

*He plops down languidly on a couch*

*Veronica presses a button activating the auto-pilot, and climbs out of the Exo-skeleton she is using to control the Aries*

*She calmly walks over to her Beam Saber, picks it up, And flicks it, bringing it to life, then points it at the two Intruders*

V: This is one thing I'll miss about war... Honorable combat!

*V Lunges towards pitou*

*Meanwhile*

*The Aries tears open a part of the wall of the Station, and unleashes fire from it's head-mounted Vulcan at the sensitive stuff inside*

*Meanwhile*

*Tahar'ok and McNamara are on McNamara's personal frigate, the Ptolemaios*

McNamara: I'm suprised you came so easily. I guess it's all to get closer to Shepard.

Tahar'ok: You're quite wise for a flesh-runt.

*Suddenly, Tahar'ok observes V's fight at the Station*

McNamara: Damnit! What is Veronica doing this far out?!

Tahar'ok: another one of you Zion Scumbags? *Walks towards the hangar of the Ptolemaios*

McNamara: Where are you going? You're my prisoner!

Tahar'ok: To save Veronica. Keep her steady.

*Suddenly, A Machine of similar size to the Aries flies out of the rear of the Ptolemaios*



Tahar'ok: So... "Vi"... I see you've had a taste of the Aries... But can you handle the Epyon?

*The Epyon rams the Bebop (SP?) with such speed that they both collide with the Station*

[ Inside the Aries: ]

Xanxus: *Growls* B!tch, it's on.

*He draws both of his Dying Will Pistols*

Xanxus: This...Is charity!! *Snarls*

*He begins firing blasts of condensed Sky Flames in every direction*

*They quickly begin to corrode everything they hit*

Pitou: I can stop him if you'll stop and listen. We're not with the Zion.

---

[ Within the Epyon: ]

*A foot suddenly crashes into the console*

*Then, a blade is leveled with Tahar'ok's neck*

Zev: Let's see...I don't remember your name. But the Juraian Royal Family did nothing to you. As their Prince, I can't allow you to destroy millenia of collected files.

*He removes his blade slowly, and continues to speak*

Zev: This research station is under Jurai's protection. Nothing could have been used for war until you all came here. We're trying to stop the Shima Brothers and whoever their master is from going into war. And while you're all p!ssing about here. Uterio is kinda trying to conquer the Universe. That's kinda more important than you morons.

*Then, he lowers his foot, and continues to speak*

Zev: I have telepathy, you know. But I have no idea who the Zion are. Now, kindly cease attacking valuable information, or I'll have mother call a Drone Fleet here. Just hear us out.

*He waits patiently*

*Ta'Harok smirks*

Tahar'ok: Zev Raregroove. Never thought I'd see you again. So, This valuable information, Huh? "Zion" wants it destroyed. With Zion being the ones putting this collar round my neck, I'm inclined to not allow that to happen.

You let me in on what you got here, I help you out against these crazy "Zion" punks. You scratch my back, I scratch yours, Kapeesh?

[ Inside the Epyon: ]

Zev: *Sigh* So annoying...

*He sheathes his katana and scratches at the back of his head*

Zev: ...The thing is, even I don't know what all's in here. The Raregroove Family watches over it, but my mom hasn't given me too many details...What I do know is that it contains immense reserves of data on the Royal Trees. We managed to put up some new security, but we can't activate it until you lot cease attacking.

Zev: And like I said, we're not with or against Zion. No idea who they are. I can't help you with the collar. But if you continue to senselessly waste all of this knowledge, I'll kill you. Then, I'll kill the young lady in the other mech. So sorry. But Uterio di Armecchio is already waging war on us, and if the Shima Brothers aren't stopped soon, that'll be two wars. Plus, they already stole the Arboretum Notes. Your unwarranted attack has allowed them to completely escape.

Zev: Now, here's how this is gonna go. You stop destroying Juraian property, and I'll do what I can to help you get that collar off. If you continue to destroy knowledge like this, I will kill you. That cool?

[ Ryuten, Dock: ]

Hishima & Takashima: *Watch the sky*

*A ship begins to lower, and a ramp opens up*

Mushima: *Tumbles out, falling onto one knee with blood pouring from his chest*

Hishima: Brother!! *Rushes over to him*

Takashima: Glaaaggghhh!! *Rushes over as well*

*Several personnel of Ryuten stare and mumble to each other*

Hishima: *Tremble* ...BEGONE!! *Whirls on the crowd, eyes flaring crimson*

*As they all hurry away, Mushima coughs and wheezes weakly*

Hishima: It's...It's alright, brother...The master shall soon be revived...You'll be healed...!!

Takashima: Glaaah...Glaaaaagh... *Trembles violently*

Mushima: ... *Begins to rise up shakily, chest still bleeding* ...No, brothers...

Hishima: Mushima...No... *Snarls* It wasn't supposed to be this way...!! We three together were meant to be there when the master awakens!!

Mushima: *Weakly* ...I...Know, little brothers...I know... *Abruptly plunges claw into his wound*

*He retrieves a small, semi-organic, narrow rhomboid crystal*

*As it is placed into Hishima's hand, the red-robed brother trembles*

Hishima: ...Your...Your...Brother, no...!! I can't -

Mushima: Those...Are the hard copy...Of my...Entire...Combat experience...

*A smile reaches his eye from behind his mask as he begins to teeter back*

Mushima: You...Have more...Need of...Them...Now...Give...The master...My...Re...Gards... *Cough* *Cough*

*He falls off the edge of the docking platform, deep into the abyss*

Takashima: GLAAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!! *Rushes after*

Hishima: No, little brother!! *Holds Takashima's massive frame back with one hand*

Takashima: *Struggles a few moments, before falling to his knees*

*Face held in his hands, bellowing cries resound through the area*

Takashima: GLAAAAAH!! GLAAA-AAAH!! GLAAAAAGGGHHH!! *Trembles unconrollably*

Hishima: ... *Stares down at the crystal* ... *Mutters* Your sacrifice was not in vain, Mushima.

*He closes his hand on the crystal as his voice drops to a whisper*

Hishima: ...You shall fight by my side from now on. Thank you.

*Head bowed, he allows Takashima to cry on*

Hishima: ...Even if I was our leader...You were our big brother, through and through.

*Eyes glowing red, the hand holding the crystal begins to flicker with crimson circuits*

Hishima: I will avenge you, with your own strength.

*Both he and Takashima begin to fall silent*

[ David Robert Jones' ship: ]

*User:KoN waits until they have gone, and then launches a fireball at the shields*

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

*Suddenly, the main door hatch of Meca One's base is kicked down, and four large battle machines storm in, firing at everything in sight*

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

*The red-and-gold figure smashes the Yerta's ship pilot's head into the control panel, knocking him unconscious*

???: Hmm. I better see what's going on here.

*Jets come out of his feet and he flies up the corridor*

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

Trantoshen: You just-

Muta: Of course he'll be back, he can teleport.

*Vorahk-Kah suddenly appears in front of them both*

Muta: ...See?

*V-K immediately sweeps a plasma blast at Muta, and it burns some of his front armour, sending him stumbling back*

V-K: Muta, we need the map so we can rule the multiverse, you fool!

Muta: Trantoshen is destined to right the wrongs here, not you, not even us!

*Muta runs towards V-K, and, jumping in slow motion, punches him into the ground*

[ Tahar'ok sighs ]

Tahar'ok: It is not often that I take orders from a Fleshrunt... But You're more than just a Fleshrunt.

[ Epyon crabs the Aries, and throws it towards the Ptolemaios ]

V: [ Hit by corrosive element in stomach ] Aggh! Uggh...

[ The aries' autopilot lands it inside the Ptolemaios ]

McNamara: We're out of here.

[ The Ptolemaios enters warp ]

*on the ship*

MC: Rrrrr. Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. *knocks MK over*

-----

David Robert Jones: My name is David Robert Jones. You are in my way. *shoots B6 again*

-----

Blackout: You make two assumptions. The first is that I know where your comrades are and thus can release them. The second is that I have any intention to submit to the will of beings so far below me. *stabs MY with the Master Sword* Both of those assumptions are incorrect. *rips out the Master Sword, then kicks MY in the face*

*all of a sudden, a huge spider-like battle machine breaks through the wall and begins firing at the humans*

[ Zion cluster home - Side 8 ]

The Zion Cluster is located inside a cracked moon; The two halves are held at a safe distance apart by sets of ultra-strong Titanium rods; The inside walls of the artificial canyon and laden with housing, research facilities and Barracks, and in the center of the canyon, one huge, cylindrical building firmly connecting both halves of the moon. the ridge that surrounds the canyon is laden with docks, and the outer shell of the moon is uninhabited, with the exception of several hundred-thousand heavy anti-ship guns, all controlled by the Cluster's AI Advanced DAL. Orbiting the moon are several Drones, Ultra-heavy Railguns and space mines, all held together in perfect harmony by Advanced DAL, who is located within the Central cylindrical building in the middle, surrounded by 2000 metres of solid titanium on every side.

[The Ptolemaios skillfully dodges the space debris and comes to land in one of the Docks]

*F-Klak smiles*

FK: "You will find that the Organization of this time period is quite different from the one you knew. Some members were killed in a hostile takeover. The others became my personal assassins. They'll do anything to get their hearts back." *points at a nearby table with several canisters, each containing a heart*

FK: "However....I remember seeing you there. And you defended Roxas with fury. Knowing that I was your trainer, you ceased to attacked me, and turned on them. Time travel is quite a migraine-inducing paradox, isn't it?"

FK: "By the power vested in me as Keyblade master.....I bestow you as a member of the Organization. You will tell the Xemnas of the past that you are......Rixika....the Witch of the Data!! *his Keyblade appears, and he knights her* So that you do not forget your loyalty to me.......your face will be marked by a mask...."

*a hollow mask appears on Namine's face*

FK: "To the past.....unless you are willing to do one more favor for me."

Me: DAMN IT! He's gone!

Perseus: "Abneris is coming. We should follow that ship!"

*Abneris docks in the space station*

DK: "The ship's here. Let's go!"

*all of them, including Jinx and her squad, run into the ship*

MK: What do you want?

*B6 blocks the shot, and summons his own gun*

B6: "I've gotten in the way of many other people. Does it look like I care?"

*shoots David Robert Jones*

OOS: Missing anyone?

*the shot goes right through David Robert Jones, doing no harm to him*

*B6 looks amazed*

*David Robert Jones resists the urge to gloat, and simply shoots B6 repeatedly*

*the creature slashes at MK again*

*The Ironclad ceases fire, but continues to circle, to ensure it isn't pinned down*

MY: If you don not know where my comrades are, then I have no use for you.

*Drives off into the massive network of tunnels*

[ Ta'harok, in the Epyon, Is digging in the ground, when he hits a hard, flat, metal surface ]

Tahar'ok: So... It's still here? My memories do not lie!

[ Ta'harok opens the Epyon's cockpit and jumps out, rolling when he hits the sandy ground, and walks to the flat surface. He places his palm on it, and a slit opens. He jumps into it, and falls for several meters until he reaches the floor of the room underneath ]

Tahar'ok: So... The genesis project. [ Gazes at computer screen ] The memories of every Ta'har that ever lived... All ready to be re-installed into new, enhanced Robot bodies.

[ Before Ta'harok can activate the Genesis device, a Familiar figure in a new body jumps down the hole, aiming a gun ]

???: Not so fast, Tahar'ok.

Tahar'ok: Hmmpf. Naju.

Blackout: Meh. This battle has served its purpose anyway. *takes off and crashes into B6's office*

David Robert Jones: Good morning.

Blackout: Good morning to you too, David. Now, what is the status of the visitor's entrance?

Blackout: Ah.

[ Ta'harok swipes with his clawed hand towards Naju, who jumps up to avoid it, then jumps down, kicking Ta'harok in the back of the neck, knocking him down ]

Naju: Heh. Still weak.

Ta'harok: damn... damn you...

[ Naju keys in the password "DAL" on the computer, and suddenly, the planet starts shaking ]

Naju: Ever wondered what DAL stands for?

Ta'harok: No...

Naju: Delete. All. Life.

Ta'harok: NO!

Naju: And you imbeciles went and used him as the basis for every super-computer this side of the shattered mirror! My design! my ultimate plan!

Ta'harok: So... you only activated the Advanced DAL unit here... The others will remain un-affected.

Naju: That would be true, If this planet weren't made out of pure Iron.

Ta'harok: So?

Naju: it is emitting a signal to every single Advanced DAL unit in the galaxy to activate it's original programming: Delete all Life.

Ta'harok: You'll never get away with this. You're alive too!

Naju: Not to Advanced DAL. I am his Alpha. His Omega. He will ignore me.

*Suddenly, two freshly produced Neo-Ta'har walk in, and start shooting at Ta'harok*

Ta'harok: No! this infestation must be quelled!

*Ta'harok draws his saber, and quickly drives it through the two Neo-Ta'har*

Ta'harok: A thousand deaths on you, Naju!

*Ta'harok jumps out of the Exit as two more Neo-Ta'har storm in, and enters the Epyon, rapidly flying off the planet*

JS: Ta'harok.

Ta'harok: SCUM! LEAVE, NOW! DO NOT DEFILE THIS HOLY SITE FURTHER!

JS: Ta'harok, I am in command of the Zion mothership Enterprise. Advanced DAL has locked us out of Side 8 and turned the anti-ship guns against the Home fleet. As commander of the First fleet of Sacred retribution, I have decided that this Master DAL unit... Must be destroyed.

*JS, on the bridge of the Enterprise, turns to another viewer, adressing all ten-thousand ships orbiting the planet*

JS: Brave soldiers of the First Fleet of Sacred retribution... This blight has taking our home, our Zion, a sacred gift from our god. For this crime... There is no excuse. All ships...

JS: This is not enough punishment! BURN THEM!

*The Fleet fires all weapons at the ground, until suddenly, the planet itself returns fire! JS is bewildered until he realises that it is actually thousands of Ta'har vessels rising from the ground, somehow having survived the attack*

Trantoshen: What is it, Muta? Are you okay?!

Muta: AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH!!

*Suddenly, Vorahk-Kah appears in front of them both. First he looks at Muta*

V-K: Foolish... You think you can get rid of me by throwing me into a pit? I can TELEPORT! And what are you screaming about?!

*Trantoshen gets up and forms fireballs in his hands*

*V-K turns his stare to Trantoshen*

V-K: Ahh... going to defend your precious map, I see. Well, you won't last long against me.

*A plasma ball forms in between the prongs of his staff*

V-K: The son of Kakamu? You are not worthy of that title... but I am!

*He launches it at Trantoshen's head*

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

User:KoN: Ugh.....

*He falls unconscious*

*Meanwhile, the space battle continues, and so does Yon's*

*on the BZP planet*

*a dark cloud emerges from the portal*

*it clusters around a skyscraper, then suddenly shrinks and disappears*

*on top of the skyscraper, a figure now stands*

*it looks like the thing in this YouTube video*

The Visitor: I am the Visitor. Who summons me?

Blackout: We do.

The Visitor: What are your commands, masters?

David Robert Jones: Find the one they call Uterio.

The Visitor: Very well.

*The Visitor turns back into the cloud, which then fades away*

-----

*when User:KoN wakes up, he is tied to a chair in some room onboard the ship*

*a man enters the room*

Guard: He is awake.

Man KoN cannot see as he is behind him: Excellent. *to KoN* Now watch the beginning of the end of all you know.

*the portal opens, and everything I just described above happens*

[ Bebop II, Viewing Deck: ]

Zev: *Gazes out at the stars*

*A figure moves up behind him, before sitting down at his side*

Namah: So...What's our next course of action, Your Excellency?

*She waits for an exaggerated reaction, but at Zev's silence, she turns to gaze at him*

Zev: ... *Finally speaks* ...Uterio comes first and foremost. As much as I want to protect the Royal Trees... *Sigh*

Namah: ... *Gently touches his shoulder* I'm sorry, Zev...I know how hard this must be, to let something so dangerous to the Royal Trees go free. I don't think I can really know how close the Juraian Royal Family are to the Royal Trees...But I know what it's like to feel like you can't protect what you love.

Zev: ... *Smiles softly* Thanks, Namah. It's nice to know you're here when I need someone to talk to.

Namah: ... *Gives a very slight smile* ...Don't mention it. *Abruptly frowns, staring out into space like Zev had been*

*Her brow furrows noticeably as she lays a finger on her chin in thought*

Namah: I just can't help but wonder about the Shima Brothers...One thing above all...

Zev: ...Yes? What is that? *Something visibly begins to jog in his mind*

Namah: ...Why would the Shima Brothers even want the Arboretum Notes? They'd need to have - ...Their own...Royal...Tree...

*She and Zev turn to stare at each other, both rapidly turning pale as sheets*

Zev: ...Come with me. I need to ask mother something.

*They both hurry out of the room*

[ Ryuten, Hidden Chamber: ]

Hishima & Takashima: *Enter the Sanctum*

*At the center of the large chamber is a simply massive tree*

*It rests within a shallow pit depressed into the metallic panels of the floor*

*Connected to the tree's roots and the pit's floor are numerous computers*

*Some resemble large, dark red spheres rested atop masses of cords; others resemble huge rectangular blocks*

Hishima: *Leads Takashima over to an exposed floor section of wires and circuits*

Takashima: *Gently sets the Arboretum Notes from its place rested on his shoulder onto the designated area*

*Wires of its own connecting into the floor, the Arboretum Notes computer begins to flicker and whirr into life*

*More of the computers begin to beep and whirr and flash*

Takashima: Glah!? *Stares up at the tree "through" his eyeless mask*

Hishima: What? You sense two sentients, brother?

*He turns to gaze up at the tree, which has started to release beams of iridescent light*

Hishima: I see...You hadn't been told, brother. One, of course, is her...And the other is the Royal Tree itself.

*Eyes narrowing, he watches as an elliptical patch begins to glow on the tree*

Hishima: ...It is with him that our conquest lies.

SPLORTSSSCCCHHHHH!!

Hishima: Aaahh... *Trembles noticeably*

*With an abrupt spray of saplike liquid, a figure begins to emerge*

Hishima: *Kneels with Takashima* At last...You have waited for so long...

*The diminutive female completely leaves the tree*

*Possessing a short stature and petite build, she physically looks like she couldn't be over twelve years old. Her keen, attentive eyes possess golden irises (Both with a thin circle that creates the illusion of a dual iris in either one), she is possessed of twin small, partly-hidden fangs, and her skin is a light golden tone*

*With largely straight hair, the frontmost half is a coffee tone tan-brown. The rest, however, is a pale blonde; she possesses two large, crescent pigtails that curve back and taper neatly to the ends, while framing her face are two curious locks that resemble wings. Most distinctly, her narrow, tan-brown furred, almost feline ears stick out laterally, with a slight back-and-upward angle to their position*

*Clad in nothing at all, her nude body still drips slightly with a mixture of water, sap, and unknown substances from within the tree. In addition, two metallic half-rings around the sides of her ribcage bear orange caps over her chest; two bands hooked into cords rest around her neck and right thigh; and numerous electrodes are attached across her body*

Hishima: Master Yume!

Yume: Hmph! *Scowls dangerously*

Hishima: You'll catch a cold... *Offers her a towel* Please...

*There is a faint whistling of air and a flicker of motion*

*A small, yet shockingly powerful fist crashes into Hishima's face*

*He is sent hurling into the pit's side, face partially shattered*

Yume: *Has snatched the towel, fist still clenched* Slowpokes...!

*She moves to dry herself off as Takashima goes to Hishima's aid*

Yume: You're 7,200 hours later than planned!!

OOS: Show of hands. Who wasn't expecting this?

/raises hand

*Suddenly, the Fleet remnants and Ta'harok in the Epyon exit warp at Re-group point Theta*

Ta'harok: All you ships who want to live, disengage your warp drives. We need to remain cloaked and stealthy.

Commander 1: Why are we listening to you? You're the enemy!

Ta'harok: Fine. Ignore me, Go back to your base... Oh, wait. No, how about you listen to the guy who's actually defeated Naju before.

Commander 2: He has a point.

*The ships suddenly power down, and the half-destroyed fleet glides towards a familiar planet - Linkit*

Ta'harok: You better be here... Damnit.

OOS: JS, thought I'd let you know, there is virtually nothing left on Linkit now but a few tiny colonies of Agrippa survivors.

OOS2: *Raises hand*

User:KoN: Is that... no... NO!

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

*Meanwhile, on the BZP Planet*

*A many-limbed creature, stumbling through a back alley, collapses against a wall in front of a man*

Random BZP User: Hey, are you okay?

*Suddenly, one of the creature's fists grabs around his neck, and drains all he is away, leaving just a skeleton*

*The creature then morphs into him as the skeleton falls to the floor*

???: Finally... some energy. First to find out who I am now...

*He picks the skeleton's User Card up and reads it*

???: Hmm. My name is ToaTahu. I could have done better, but this body will do.

*He pins the card onto his aquired uniform and walks off*

OOS: Fifteen points to whoever correctly guesses who this is.

???: Hmm. My name is Tahurules553. I could have done better, but this body will do.

*The Bebop II has set down*

*All around is a dry, barren plane of dirt*

*From the ship emerge five shapes*

Namah: *Nods almost imperceptibly*

Makoto: Yup. Ready to kick some @ss~

Pitou: As I'll ever be. *Still has that faint catsmile*

Prudence: Ditto~ *Giggles quietly*

Vi: Good. *Speaks into a transmitter* Dorothy, are you there?

*That melancholic female voice answers*

Dorothy: Yes, Captain Viriathus. We have picked up the distress call north of your location.

Vi: Good. We're setting out now. Tell Zev to prepare for a rescue mission.

Dorothy: Yes, sir. *Ends the connection*

[ Deep Space, Unknown Location: ]

*A single craft speeds through*

*Colored a blood crimson, it's shaped simply as a three-dimensional ellipse*

*Within, two figures sit in a pair of separate, compact chambers...*

??? 1: *A large male with long hair* Hey. Are we there yet?

??? 2: *A diminutive female with what look like horns* No.

Guy: I'm hungry. Can we stop at that planet we're about to pass by?

Girl: If it will shut you up for five seconds, then yes.

Guy: Sweeeeet.

*Their ship begins to change its course towards a large, misty planet*

Guy: I'm gonna get a burger and French fries and -

Girl: First, don't get your hopes up for that food way out here. Second, only get as much as you can eat.

Guy: Oh come on, what are you, my keeper!?

Girl: Yes. That's why I was forced to tag along with you.

Guy: Is that why you're so b!tchy all the time, too?

Girl: God I hate you so much. *Trembles in her seat with pent-up rage*

Guy: ...Hey. I don't have any money. Will you buy me snacks?

Girl: Why? We could easily kill the inhabitants and take what we want.

Guy: You're right. That always makes the food taste better.

Girl: *Mutter* I am so fed up with this idiot...

Guy: What kind of pie would you get? Apple, blueberry -

OOS: Yes, yes he was. Sorry for the forced retcon, KoN.

*Uterio smiles*

Uterio: "My former master lives....and now, my former ally is approaching....Battle stations!"

*An alarm goes off in the camp. Millions of troops begin grabbing guns, swords, and many other unimaginable weapons*

*Futuristic tanks and other things form together, all aiming at the portal*

*Uterio arrives in front of it on a floating golden chariot*

OOS: I might expand..I might not. Sleep in fear tonight!

MC: Rrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....I caaaaaaaaaaaaaannnot.....ZFT.....kill me..... *gets up and smashes MK into a wall*

*a wave of energy emerges from the portal, destroying all the weapons aimed at it*

*another wave of energy emerges from the portal, blowing up the ground beneath the futuristic tanks and other weapons (or whatever's left of them) sending them flying into the air, as well as knocking Uterio off his chariot, which is smashed to pieces*

*yet another wave of energy emerges from the portal, just in case anyone besides Uterio is now anywhere near the portal*

[ Unknown Planet: ]

*The group has reached a new area*

*Cold mist loops in between the branches of gnarled pine trees; very little light gets through*

Vi: ... *Fiddles with the transmitter a bit* ...Everyone, stay together. Our signal isn't getting back to the ship.

*A faint rustling can be heard nearby, causing Vi to whirl and take aim with her pistol*

*Several more rustles can be heard; twigs snap, followed by the faint sound of breathing*

*Without warning, a bestial shape lunges from the mist towards Vi*

*Yet it goes flipping over Vi's head as a bullet from her pistol tears into its shoulder*

Vi: Everyone, get ready. Looks like the welcome commitee is here.

*More and more shapes begin to emerge, terrible in their forms and sounds*

Namah: *Pink halo flickers into life, as well as pink light on her fingertips*

[ Unknown Misty Planet: ]

*The bloodred ship has alighted*

*From all around emerge creatures which can only be described as monstrous, semi-humanoid crickets*

*Out of twin portholes, the beings inside have emerged*

Guy: *Tall and lean, has long, straight black hair with a golden spiral on the top-left, crimson eyes, and visibly sharp teeth; wears a skintight bodysuit that covers all of his body from the neck-down, save his shoulders and arms. As well, a bloodred crystal is conformed to his forearms, with small horns on his elbows, and some kind of emblem is tattooed on either side of his neck*

Girl: *Possesses distinctly familiar features - Those narrow, straight, backwards-pointing horns; the lack of an apparent nose; that long, whipping tail; the digitigrade legs, both ended in three spadelike toes; right down to the same hairstyle. However, instead of mainly off-pink skin, she's bright scarlet; instead of pink hair, she has vermillion; instead of mint green sclera and jade green slit pupils, she has bloodred orbs with dark crimson pupils; and she wears an ensemble characterized by an elegant, dark crimson overcoat*

*The two of them gaze at the natives for a while, before the male speaks his first word to the inhabitants of the planet*

Guy: Hi.

Girl: Hello. We're from a place known to a few in this place as the "Crimson Mirror" Universe. Specifically, we're on this planet because my partner is an idiot. Can you help us get something to eat?

*With blank gazes, the cricket-like inhabitants stare a few moments more*

Guy: Isn't this great? I really like people who can appreciate foreign commerce. So refreshing to be welcomed so graciously.

Girl: Feh. You really think they'll be that happy to see us?

Guy: Of course!

[A Few Minutes Later]

*Both of them are shackled in a dank, dark cell*

Girl: I swear to God you are such an idiot I can't believe you're still alive.

Guy: Whatever. Hey, who's that guy?

Native Prisoner: I see...You two have been captured by these dictators, as well?

*When he gets no response, he goes right on talking*

Native Prisoner: What are your names, fellow unjustly-imprisoned souls?

Neo Ta'har: Why should we be careful? We haven't seen a single enemy on the way here, and even in we did, He'd be nothing against our guns.

Naju: Just, Be careful. I know Ta'harok...
