No Turning Back

Byakuya and Toushiro secured Kirk.

Byakuya: "Sorry to interrupt your lecture doc. You were saying..."

Dr. Kirk: "Yes... I was saying. I discovered how the Third Energy could effect space if it ran unchecked all those years ago. I thought that the energy had the ability to transfer selective space to an alternate time-space continuum... But I was incorrect. The space was not transferred, it was exchanged. To put it in terms that even you can understand, Third Energy has the ability to replace a pocket in space with one from a different time!"

Toushiro: "What?"

Dr. Kirk: "Yes! I came to these conclusions following this evenings final experiment! You've seen the effects yourself! Those beasts were occupying the space this facility is located on almost 65 million years ago!"

Byakuya: "Right. So that's how those dinosaurs appeared in our time."

Dr. Kirk: "Precisely. And THAT is what I have done!"

Toushiro: "A-huh. And how many people were sacrificed before you made this discovery?"

Dr. Kirk: "Ha ha ha! Who cares? The numbers are quite irrelevant. Let's just say that there were many. Extraordinary deaths for ordinary men! Don't you think?"

Toushiro: "Spoken like a true devil."

Dr. Kirk: "A god or a devil, hmph. I don't care about that, only my experiment!"

Toushiro: "You're one wrong word away from me beheading you!"

Byakuya: "Enough! Only one thing matters at this point. Your grand invention is blocking our escape."

Dr. Kirk: "You need destroy the vortex. Heh heh heh the only way to that is to allow the generators Third Energy levels to overload. Theoretically speaking, the Third Energy and the vortex will cancel each other out if they come in contact with one another. But there is one small catch."

Toushiro: "Of course."

Dr. Kirk: "If you cannot stop the generators Third Energy overload, this entire region maybe shifted to another point in the space-time continuum!"

Byakuya: "Then we'll just make sure to be somewhere else when the shift happens. No problem."

Toushiro: "But we couldn't even activate the device!"

Kirk just genuinely laughed in Toushiro's face.

Dr. Kirk: "HA HA HA HA! You're missing the initializer and stabilizer, right?"

Toushiro: "Where are they?"

Kirk didn't reply Toushiro's question until Byakuya pointed his sword at him. It seemed to finally click that if he wanted to live, Kirk had to cooperate.

Dr. Kirk: "Calm down! They should be stored in one of the security level A rooms on floor B3!"

Kirk then handed the Level A Key Card to Toushiro.

Byakuya: "Very good doc. Now you understand out situation. We live, you live."

Byakuya took Kirk to the next room behind them. Just then, Vegeta arrived and he looked like he'd been through hell.

Toushiro: "Vegeta! You alright? You're covered in blood!"

Vegeta: "I'm fine, Toushiro. Just a few run-ins with some raptors."

Just then, Byakuya came back.

Vegeta: "Ok. I'm all set to whip up a program that will send a stream of Third Energy into the vortex."

Byakuya: "I'll keep an eye on the doctor. Hitsugaya, you go find those devices and overload the Third Energy. Remember, they're in a security Level A room on floor B3."

Toushiro: "Right!"

Toushiro was about to run out when Vegeta grabbed the back of his collar!

Vegeta: "Oh hell no! That whole floor is crawling with dinosaurs including that T-Rex!"

Toushiro gulped. He had honestly forgotten about the T-Rex down there.

Vegeta: "Let's get this situation under control before charging off, Byakuya."

Then Vegeta handed Toushiro a disk.

Vegeta: "Here. Take this. The disk contains the draft plans for the initializer and stabilizer. I stumbled over them while searching through database. Fortunately, the room where the parts are stored is not far from here. We should gather up the parts and assemble the devises!"

Byakuya: "Don't be ridiculous. Hitsugaya doesn't have the technical knowledge for that. We don't even know if all the right parts are there! We'd be better off simply trying to hunt down the completed devises."

Toushiro huffed at Byakuya saying that he wasn't smart enough to do something. Both nobles were at each others throats now!

Vegeta: "It's too dangerous down there, he won't make it! I barely made it!"

Byakuya: "It's your call then, Hitsugaya. You're the one who has to do this, so what's your choice?"

It was up to Toushiro now. Byakuya's strategy: Head for the B3 Lv. A Area. Vegeta's strategy: Head for the Parts Storage on B2. Each strategy had it's risks. If he went with Byakuya's plan, he'd be fighting a lot of dinosaurs and that T-Rex again. If he went with Vegeta's plan, the right parts might not be there or he could assemble them wrong. He finally made his decision. He just hoped that it wasn't a fatal mistake.

Toushiro: "Sorry, Vegeta. But I'm gonna have to go with Byakuya's plan this time."

Byakuya seemed pleased that Toushiro had chosen his plan over Vegeta's. The saiyan prince growled at the noble captain.

Byakuya: "Ok. Let's do it!"

Byakuya went to keep an eye on Kirk.

Vegeta: "Whatever you do... Don't drop your guard for a second! I know you want to prove to me that you can handle things on your own with your own skills, but promise me that if it becomes too much for you, even for a second, you'll call me."

Toushiro: "I promise."

Vegeta: "All right then. Good luck."

Vegeta left to get to work. The young captain went to the room Byakuya was keeping Kirk at bay and used the F. C. Device to take the doctors fingerprints. Toushiro went back to the Third Energy Control Room and took the elevator inside the room down to the B3 floor. Toushiro was back at the Rest Station where another Therizinosaurus was waiting! The boy quickly disposed of the beast and moved on to the Carrying Out Room B3... Where the T-Rex was last. Fortunately, it was still there. But for how long, Toushiro didn't know. So the boy wasted no time in getting to the Transport Passageway. He went to the first security Lv. A door and went to Special Weapons Storage. The storage room was filled with dangerous weapons like nuclear bombs and heavy machine guns. In the back of the room, there was an elevator. Toushiro stepped on and pressed the button. The elevator took him up and into a cold section. On the wall there were the parts he needed. The initializer and stabilizer. With the parts in hand, Toushiro hurried back to get the Third Energy generator working. But when he stepped back into the Transport Passageway, the real test of his skills began. Two Therizinosaurus stood before him. Toushiro didn't want to risk damaging the initializer and stabilizer by fighting these beasts so he ran around them. In the General Weapons Storage, three raptors were roaming. The young captain killed two and ran off before the third had a chance. As he entered the Carrying Out Room B3, he ran past the T-Rex again. But just as he opened the door to head into the Passageway to the Carrying Out Room, he heard the giant beast begin to stir. Time to get out! In the Passageway to the Carrying Out Room, Toushiro encountered more Therizinosaurus. Toushiro ran all the way back to the Security Pass Room and went to the computer for rewriting ID Cards. And Toushiro began the rewriting program after inserting the ID Card. He already knew Kirk's Registration Number. 31415. After typing in the number, he plugged the F. C. Device up to the computer. The fingerprint data and Registration Number were matched and Toushiro was now Dr. Izaya Kirk to anything he used the ID Card on. On the way back to the Third Energy Area B2, Toushiro ran into another blue raptor. The young captain stabbed the dinosaur in the chest and moved on. Once he was in the Third Energy Area B2, Toushiro called up Vegeta.

Toushiro: "Ok, Vegeta. I've got the parts. What do I do next?"

Vegeta: "Head to the terminal in the Control Room and start up the system."

Toushiro: "Ok and, no hard feelings about me picking Byakuya's plan over yours, right?"

Vegeta: "None at all. In fact, I'm a little impressed that you were able to handle that all on your own."

Hearing that Vegeta was impressed was a good moment for Toushiro. But he had work to do. Toushiro went back to the Third Energy Control Room and went to the terminal. He started up the system and waited for it to finish. When it was, Vegeta called him again.

Vegeta: "Ok, now go to the Generator and place the initializer and stabilizer into it."

Toushiro: "Which goes where?"

Vegeta: "There is an elevator next to the door where you first entered from. When you go down there, you put the initializer in that chamber and the stabilizer goes to the one up top. And FYI, I'm reading from the database."

Toushiro: "So that's how you know. Ok, I'll get that done in no time so get ready."

Vegeta: "Let's get this going and get the hell out of here!"

Toushiro went strait to the Third Energy Area B2 again and took the elevator down to the bottom like Vegeta had said. There he found the terminal and placed the initializer into the generator. Once the device was in the generator, Toushiro went to the control panel next to it and turned the initializer half of the generator on. The bottom half of the generator started to hiss and hum as it started working.

Vegeta: "Now place the stabilizer in upstairs and we'll be ready to go."

Toushiro went back upstairs and went to the terminal for the stabilizer. Once he placed the stabilizer in the generator, everything was ready to go!

Vegeta: "Ok! Start'er up!"

Toushiro started the system on and it did its job. Then a speaker system came on.

System: "Warning! Third Energy output is approaching critical point! Seise operation immediately!"

Toushiro ran back to the Third Energy Control Room and went to the downstairs terminal. Over the alarm, Toushiro heard Vegeta call him.

Vegeta: "Ok Toushiro! Set the power up to maximum!"

Toushiro: "Here goes. Just remember there's no turning back once it overloads."

Vegeta: "Then we won't look back. Let's do this!"

Toushiro flipped the switch. The Third Energy began to overload. This was it! No turning back now!
