The 9 of them were under the table and were shell-shocked when one of the Cossacks found a child buried in rubble barley alive and instead of carrying the child back onto the ship, he just grabbed a knife and stabbed the child in the heart.
"We need to get out of here; soon that could be us." Dale said grabbing his left arm and whimpering in pain at the sight of the dead child.
"How can we; there's Cossacks that are what James calls his soldiers surrounding us, and the 2 machines are still in the forest. The only ways out are if we escape the city and hide out in the meadow until the war is done, run into the rainforest and take the machines to the dimension that Ed and Eddy are situated in, or we sneak onto a craft, hijack it, and attack the mother ship." Alex said acting very serious as he did.
"I have an idea, we can steal a ship, force the captain to say that they're going to check around the outskirts of the city, and then we take the 2 machines, reverse engineer them into the ship, and we have a superb fighting craft. YIPEE!" Pops said in his high, British accent clapping his hands that brought much unwanted attention to the table and when Alex saw 5 Cossacks approaching and he grabbed some highly advanced hand pistol that none of them had ever seen before and he shot out very large bullets for a gun of its size and the Cossacks were blown backwards, dead.
"Dude, how powerful is that gun?" Mordecai asked Alex who now returned the gun to a holster in his jacket.
"It's a 950-calliber Alchem pistol with tank piercing shatter bullets that's mainly a golden bullet that breaks a few feet from its target." Alex said readjusting his jacket before stepping out and taking the boots, guns, grenades, suit coats, army backpacks, and gloves off the 5 and handing them to Dale, Mordecai, Pops, and Edd and saying. "You must wear these so they think that we're Cossacks and not citizens of this city."
So the four of them and Alex slipped the suits and gloves on and then went out and acted like they found some citizens that they killed and walked to the closest ship that was 80 meters away and they boarded the ship and snuck around until they found the communications room and began to cut every wire and then succeeded to the control room and found the pilot sleeping and so Alex and Dale took him outside and left them there while Mordecai accidentally pressed a button that made the ramp close and then Alex and Dale began pounding and shooting the ramp and so Edd pressed the same button again and the hatch opened letting in a very angry Dale and Alex that walked right into the control room and Alex sat at a control panel and closed the ramp and then the ship took off leaving a very confused captain and Cossacks behind while they flew right above the machines and then he lifted them up into the ship by a tractor beam and then Alex ordered Mordecai and Dale to take apart the 2 machines and to deliver the power packs and engines to Edd who would later be altering the ship for interdimensional travel.
About 5 minutes after they arrived on the ship Alex and Edd finally knew how to fly the ship and so they landed the ship so the ramp would be right at the entrance and Mordecai went down the ramp and told everyone that they were taking the ship to the outskirts of the city and would work on modifying it there so they could set up a more permanent base at Bill's house.
"Okay, but first my arm, this is a military ship so there has to be a medicine room here." Dale said holding his arm in pain and then Mordecai and Spottedleaf 'carried Dale to a room that was marked with a red cross on it and so they walked in and guided Dale onto a cold, dusty, metal table and then Mordecai consulted a book on how to treat common wounds and it said that for a Wound like Dale's, it was important to remove any contaminants and so he guided Dale's arm over to a lamp and looked to see if there was anything in the arm and so he found 3 small shards of glass and he took them out with a tweezers that made Dale scream like a baby and then Spotted leaf applied a cream to the cut that soothed the pain and then Mordecai handed Dale 4 pills and Dale asked. "What are they?"
"They're antibiotics, if there's any bacteria in your body caused by the cut it will kill the bacteria, I'm rubbing a cream over the cut that speeds up skin production to seal it up and it's doing so already." Spottedleaf said rubbing the cream into the cut sealing it up in seconds and the only sign was a thin line that was unnoticeable unless you looked at it for 3 hours than you swore you could see it.
"I-It's like new!" Dale said moving his left arm in every direction and then the cut began to bleed again.
"Dammit, you moved your arm too much, you should only move it if you need to." Spottedleaf said reapplying the cream and wrapping it in gauze to prevent it from bleeding anymore and then she walked out of the room with Mordecai following her and she felt uneasy about her being followed by him and then she turned around and said.
"What are you doing?"
Crap! Mordecai thought. Think Mordecai, now isn't the time for you to be a sore loser.
"I-was … going to ask you if you could teach me more about medicine?" Mordecai said. "If I can't graduate college then I should learn something that makes you economically well."
"You do know I'm not a registered nurse, and that I can't teach you open heart surgery and stuff like that right?"
"Of course I know that." Mordecai said in a yeah Duh tone blushing.
After 25 minutes of being taught some basic medicine and learning the difference between and infection and a wound, Mordecai finally mustered up the courage even though he was sweating very badly and he felt a bloody nose coming on he grabbed her hand and said to her. "I love you." Before blacking out from just telling her how he felt toward her.
Mordecai woke up from his coma 3 hours later and found Spottedleaf sitting in a cold, gray metal chair holding Mordecai's hand and then saying. "I love you too; how long have you loved me?"
"I've been in love with you ever since I laid eyes on you." Mordecai replied with a dreamy gaze in his eyes getting out of the bed and doing so Spottedleaf stood up and hugged him and the 2 stood there for what felt like years when it was 12 minutes then Alex peeked his head in and said.
"What the bloody hell are you-"He paused when he saw them in the caring embrace then he sniffed the air as if to find a gas leak then he replied. "How long has this relationship been going on?"
"Well, for just about 3 and a half hours since Mordy confessed his love to me." She said using a nickname she came up for him while staying with Bill teasingly.
"Okay, well Edd is just about done modifying the engines, outer shell, control panels, and sleeping quarters for dimensional travel; he wants you to leave this room so he can work on it." Alex said motioning the 2 to follow him to the control room.
When they arrived in the control room, it was completely remodeled by everything being labeled what it was in English, there was a swivel chair behind a crescent shaped panel in the center of the room with a glass screen on the front of the control panel but was still on the control panel, there was also a vending machine in the corner and there was what looked like a giant plasma TV that could collapse down from the ceiling making it visible. Alex sat down in the CCP (or Central Control Panel) that was the crescent shaped control panel and he pushed a glowing pink button labeled 'intercom' and he said.
"Edd?"
Then Edd's voice was heard on the intercom and he answered. "Yes?"
"Are you done with the final-"Alex was cut off by Edd.
"Sleeping quarters? Yes, I'm almost done; the only thing I have to do is get the mattress and bedpost in the room then I'm done." Edd answered rather abruptly.
"Okay, can you get a bunk in that room?"
"Yeah; it will take another 12 minutes. Why?"
"Well, Mordecai and Spottedleaf are in love with each other." Alex replied in a mocking tone.
"Okay then, whatever you say, wow, a cat and bird in love; what's next?" Edd said in a 'wow-really?' tone before turning off the intercom call box and walking with the bedpost to convert it into a bunk bed.
2 hours later, Mordecai and Spottedleaf walked down the hall together until they reached the room they were both assigned to and they walked in and the top bed was blue probably meaning it was for Mordecai and the bottom was pink meaning it was for Spottedleaf and there was a dresser that seemed to be or have been a large metal filing cabinet and there was a plasma TV on one of the walls along with a toaster, a microwave and an electric drink cooler that was filled with milk, butter, cream cheese, and 4 apples and unhesitant , Spottedleaf grabbed an apple and ate it then Alex called over the intercom.
"Everyone to the control bridge." And apparently the control room was the control bridge.
Within minutes, the 9 of them were in the control room and Alex grabbed what looked like a thin iPad and he began shouting orders and positions for everyone to do and it went as the following.
"Everyone, I called you here to discuss the crew, and I'll choose the positions for all of you to be in. Dale, you're the official janitor and pest exterminator since Edd conformed there was a few mice running around the ship that can be lethal. Spottedleaf, you're the official doctor and Mordecai's you're assistant since you'll now be living together and possibly marry soon. Edd, you're the navigator and machinist and High-5 ghost is your assistant since Muscleman was a problem with saying my mom so much I kicked him off. Pops and Skips, you're on kitchen and bathroom duty and whatever else the others need; don't abuse your right to extra labor because if I find out if you did or are, you'll lose your right to Pops and Skips permanently."
Most were happy with their appointed positions but Hi-5 ghost because his best friend was kicked off but knowing him, he'd probably be hiding on the ship somewhere and then when the time's right he'd jump out and scare someone and Hi-5 was too busy in thought to notice that everyone was walking to their work stations and that Edd was trying to grab his body and every time his hand just went right through him and then he remembered that his hand extending from the top of him could high five without the hand going through his and so Edd grabbed his hand and even though it was very cruel and strange to Edd he pulled his hand until they reached his navigation panel.
"So, this will be easy, we don't have to work at the moment and there's very few injuries that are severe that can happen on this ship." Mordecai said in a very careless tone.
"So what do you want to do?" Spottedleaf asked.
"I don't know, we'll have to look around the ship for something to do." Mordecai asked leaning back against a libratory table and then leaving making sure that Spottedleaf was following him and then the ship shook and the 2 of them looked out the porthole window and noticed the landscape was changing into the 4th dimension.
YAY! Finally, Mordecai and Spottedleaf are in love. How will Rigby react? If anyone's wondering what time this takes place in for KOTH, this happens just after Cotton Hill dies so Luanne and Lucky are married and Grace, their daughter, has been born. If you're wondering why updates are going to get more spread out it's because it's summer break that gives me more time to update and I'll be working on Dr. Gavel's Darkplace of horror that takes place in 1997 shortly after Darkplace suffers a huge fire and they hire a large array of doctors from the US, Canada, and a prosthetic doctor from India and his robot. So pretty please review or I'll discontinue my career.
