"Dang Miss Uzuki, your curry and rice never ceases to amaze me." Captain Matthews chortled, his mouth overflowing with food.
Shion smiled and nodded, "Thank you. It's an old recipe that only a few people know and luckily I am one of them." She looked over to Allen who was glaring evilly at Matthews. "Allen, would you like some more." He quickly noticed her looking at him and beamed.
"Yes, please. I love your curry way more than the Captain." He bragged and began stuffing his face and grimacing at the Captain more.
Shion quietly laughed to herself. "Those boys of mine."
From across the Elsa came a loud voice screaming, "Yo, Captain! I think we have a problem here! You need to hurry!"
"Damnit, Tony. What the hell did you get us into now?" Matthews yelled, food spraying all over Allen and the table as he stood up and ran to the bridge nearly knocking Shion over.
"AHHHH! Gross! Blech!" Allen cried as he ran around the diner. "Get it off of me!" He fell to the feet of a very sleepy and agitated chaos.
"What...what's going on?" chaos quietly asked as he stepped into the room, flattening the mess of hair atop his head as the door slid shut behind him. He walked over to Shion.
"Well, Matthews left in a hurry to the bridge, spit rice upon Allen, and now Allen is writhing about on the floor like a baby." Shion said as she covered her mouth the hide her laughter from the wriggling worm upon the floor. chaos joined in laughing, but stopped and looked up at the ceiling, his face determined. "What is it, chaos?" Shion asked, concerned.
"Something's wrong. We need to head to the front of the ship. Now!" chaos turned towards the door, but tripped over Allen's body, landing halfway through the door.
"Allen, stop messing around! This is serious!" Shion yelled as she helped chaos to his feet and proceeded to the bridge. She went to reach out to activate the door to the bridge when a large tremor shook the whole ship. Shion was thrown to the ground upon her hands and knees. She crawled into the bridge. "Captain, what's happening?"
"Shion, a strange craft just gated out right infront of us and it shot a warning shot into our left side. It's larger than anything I've seen in my life and I don't think that there are any alternate routes if you calculate our current course and speed." Hammer replied, adjusting his glasses and checking the computer monitors frantically.
Shion ran to the front of the bridge and stared up at the strange craft. "It can't be." She looked back at chaos, whose mouth was agape in surprise. "KOS-MOS!" Shion shrieked as KOS-MOS came through the door.
"That ship is 3 times larger than the Elsa, and there is a 99.99 percent possibility that Albedo is upon it." KOS-MOS walked up to Shion. "There is nothing that we can do to escape. Our only choice is to let it take us."
"Hell no! I am not giving my ship over to him. I just got the damned thing back from your last encounter with him!" Matthews frantically flailed his arms about, nearly falling from his chair. "There has to be another option Miss Uzuki."
"I'm the other option!" a small voice whispered from the doorway. "It's me that he wants anyway, isn't it? I've been too much trouble for you all as it is."
"MOMO!" Shion exclaimed as she grabbed her up in her arms. "No, you are staying right here. He is not going to hurt you." Shion felt a strong hand upon her shoulder.
"No, he isn't! I would never let that happen. I have sworn to protect you, and I shall."
"Ziggy!" MOMO cried, "What are we going to do?"
"We're gonna kick his ass, MOMO!" Jr. ran to MOMO's side, his gun in his hand.
"Umm... Guys, we've got a message coming in from that ship." Hammer shouted. "Incoming."
A devilish laugh reverberated through the bridge and a blurry picture of Albedo's face came upon the screen. "Now, now, now, such a temper Rubedo. We wouldn't want to put ma peche in any danger now would we." MOMO shuddered and grasped her head. Her body began to shake and she fell to her knees.
"You... BASTARD! Leave her alone." Jr yelled and pointed his gun towards the holographic image of Albedo. His eyes gleamed and he bit his lip.
"Jr...please...help me." MOMO cried as her body slowly quit moving and she fell limp to the floor. Ziggy shook her body and then pounded his fist into the floor.
"It's not only her that I want, Rubedo." Albedo laughed. "I want all of you." At that second a Kirschwasser slammed into the front of the ship. Shion shrieked in terror and drew away from the front of the ship. Light shot out of the Kirschwassers eyes and she too began to seize. Alarms went off in the Elsa and Tony began to run about.
"Sir, the ship is drawing us in. What do you want me to do?" Tony and Hammer said at the same time.
"Get us the hell outta here." Matthews commanded. Tony slammed the Elsa into top gear and tried to get out of range of the ship. Tony armed the Elsa's guns and readied them to shoot.
"Your feeble attempts to escape are useless. My ship already has control over yours, Matthews, so just give up. Rubedo, I'm coming to get you." Albedo threw his head back and let out a large laugh and the lights within the Elsa flickered. "I hope you are ready." The image of Albedo disappeared.
"Is everyone okay?" Shion questioned, looking around to check on everyone. "We need to stick together. Ziggy, grab MOMO, please." Ziggy grunted and nodded to the limp body already within his arms.
A large crash sounded from the bottom of the ship as it docked within Albedo's craft. Dust surrounded the Elsa and the doors opened. There were light footsteps outside the door to the bridge and then the door opened. Dust flowed into the room and a figure threw a flash grenade to the floor, followed by a gas grenade.

"Aww. Look at that; sleeping like a baby. Finally I can get a word in without you interrupting Rubedo." Jr. looked up. His eyes burning and his sight blurred. His head throbbed and he couldn't feel his extremities as he tried to reach out and touch the figure in front of him. Once he gained feeling in his arms he tried to move them, but they were being barred by something. He pulled hard, only to find that he couldn't move any of his limbs. A small breeze flowed through and he noticed that he wasn't wearing his trenchcoat, his shoes, his gunbelt, or his shirt. Unsteadily he looked up, his head wobbling.
"There's no use in struggling, Rubedo. You have nowhere to go and no one is here to help you. Only me." The figure laughed and Jr. felt a small pressure on his chest followed by a light brush upon his lips. "If you want out, you will do as I say." Jr. growled and spit into the face of the being in front of him.
"Who the hell are you? What the fuck do you want? Why can't I move my damn legs? What the fuck is on my head" Jr. shook his entire body, trying to get free. A small shock of electricity flowed through his body. His teeth clenched as a reaction.
"Wouldn't you like to know who I am." the being chortled. "The thing on your head inables me to keep you from injuring yourself or me. I know what power you hold inside. I, too, know what it is like to be you. You and I are the only ones who do, Rubedo. Please, don't try to escape. I need you, and you need me as well." The being brushed a hand along the side of Jr.'s face. "I have to leave you now. Don't try anything stupid! You'll get a surprise if you do." The being laughed and Jr. heard a door slam shut in the distance.
