AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Evil people that infect websites!!!!!!! jumps around in circles pulling on hair That's why doing this 21st chapter has tooken so long. -- Well, sorry bout the delay folks, updates will pick up once again! And now behold, the much anticipated chapter! :D (excuse if my spelling is off for awhile, my Word Microsoft is off my comp temporarely)
Chapter 21: Example
Shion hugged herself, feeling oddly cold for some reason, "How far did we travel Kos-mos?"
"I esimate twenty miles, twelve yards." the android replied.
"Geeze that 'vein' made it seem like we hadn't traveled far at all." Jr. tilted his head, trying to get some of the strange liquid out of his ear.
Ziggy stepped next to the URTV, "Sometimes things can distort your sense of time."
"True." Jr. finally felt the bluish blood leak out of his ear, "How's chaos anyhow?" After Kos-mos had dragged the youth out of the vein he'd been unconciouse. Now he was just laying down sleeping peacefully. Or so it seemed.
chaos' skin was completely sallow white, and his veins around the edges of his face and eyes could be seen clearly as greenish black. Whatever was happening to him, it was reaching its fatal point.
Akita finished her examination, "His heart rate is only slightly faster than normal, his body temperature has dropped drastically, and even though he is not conciouse his mind seems to be extremely active." she glanced over her shoulder at MOMO who was sitting a little apart from the group. The little realian, even though a child was better at medical situations than she, but for some reason MOMO didn't want to.
Shion made a face, "His mind is active?"
"Very, active." Akita emphasized.
"That's not right," the engineer knelt beside chaos and gently touched his face, "but then again, chaos isn't a normal case with anything."
"That I can agree with." Matthews alleged, "When we first met him down at the planet Las Morte he saved our butts."
"From a gnosis attack?"
The captain shook his head, "Nope, from a group of malfunctioning gang realians."
"That's lovely." Allen rubbed his neck, the very thought was nerve racking. Wait a sec, what the heck are you talking about Allen Ridgley? The co- worker thought. You're inside the gnosis homeworld, what's worse than the gnosis?
MOMO watched from where she sat hugging her legs. They had no idea what to contemplate other than chaos was sick, or poisoned more likely. It didn't make much sense to her either, but she atleast had an idea. So did Kos-mos. The little realian tightened her grip.
"He told you? Or you found out by accident my pesch?" Albedo said quietly from behind.
MOMO felt her cheeks burn, "St--!" she cut herself off, "I found out by accident. I don't know anything other than he's sick ok! And he made me promise not to tell anyone."
"Ah, but alas you did." the URTV gestured with his chin over to Kos-mos, "That machine of Kevin's, good thing it is programmed well."
MOMO looked up at him, "How do you know Kevin built Kos-mos? And how did you know I told her?"
Albedo stroked her pink hair, "My pesch, that exchange of information we had--did a little more than just exchange."
"What!"
He chuckled, "It was merely a side effect my pesch, no need to become hot tempered like Rubedo."
"Get away from her Albedo." Jr.'s voice was low, but filled with animosity.
Albedo looked at his light half, his amethyst eyes sparkling with laughter, "As you wish Rubedo." as he passed Jr., he patted him on the head just to be annoying. Jr.'s face turned beet read, his fingers balling into fists. He stomped over and plopped down beside MOMO, glaring after his darker half. MOMO looked down at her feet. She quickly looked back up. Aparently the gnosis collected other than humans.
"So what are we supposed to do now?" Tony was saying.
Shion rubbed her chin, "Well," she began, "obviously we can't go back to the Elsa for anything. And we're stuck here. I don't know!" she finally admitted, "Anyone pack Ibuprofen? My head hurts."
"Rest."
"Huh?"
"We should take the time to regain our energy. Time is different on every planet, and this homeworld should be no different. For all that we know at the current moment, we haven't rested in days or so. In addition, we have no other choice but to go on so that I can fulfill my mission."
"What mission?"
Kos-mos turned to the chief engineer, "To destroy the gnosis completely."
"That's ridiculas Kos-mos! You see all this?" Shion gestured, "This whole thing is a gnosis! How are you supposed to destroy Dead's Tear? You are only a meant to defend against the gnosis, not eliminate them completely!"
"Plus you're just a prototype Kos-mos."
"Shut up Allen!"
"Yes chief."
"chaos was leading us somewhere was he not?Kos-mos turned away from them and looked down at him, "Whatever he is taking us to, there is a possibility that it will help my mission. Get some sleep Shion, all of you."
"You can't just go ordering us around! Kos-mos!" Shion called, irritation etching her face.
The blue haired android turned with her back against the wall, "Standing by." her glass eyes closed and she became deadly still. Shion grunted with frustration. Allen shuffled his feet uncertainly, wondering whether or not he should speak up.
"Ya know she is kind of right Shion." Hammer stretched his arms behind his head. Shion kept her back to the navigator and placed her hands on her hips, "Stuff it Hammer, let me think."
Tony leaned over to hear better when Hammer started mumbling, "Sometimes she can have a worse temper than red heads." Tony winked.
Shion sighed heavily. Now that she had the time to realize, she was a little tired, "Ok fine, everyone get something to eat first though."
The crew began to settle down quickly. They'd picked a flat outcropping of rock to sleep on for that slight fear of being absorbed into the Acid Droplet. MOMO sat alone, her eyes distant. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she didn't realize Ziggy stop in front of her. She looked up. The cyborg stared down at her for a few seconds. Before bending down and picking the pink haired realian up. Ziggy carried her over to the wall where he pulled her close, keeping one arm over her shoulders. Soon after Jr. leaned against the wall beside her.
MOMO found this a surprising action for Ziggy. He, after all, didn't want to get attached to anyone since he wanted to "die completely" so to speak. All Ziggy wanted was to be rid of himself of his past memories and be gone from this world. MOMO's bright amber eyes surveyed all of her friends (with the exception of Albedo).
Hammer was instantly snoring once he lay his head down, Akita laying very close by. Tony slept on her other side along with the captain. Albedo sat crosse legged just above chaos' head. Shion was the only one still standing.
She pulled out a few datapads and scanned Kos-mos for any damage that might have been inflicted by the Floral Beauty. After a few mintues she finished with her check ups and put away her things. Shion was extremely worried. If Kos-mos was damaged badly they didn't have much of the necassary equipment to repair her. And if her main power cells were depleted after a battle then they couldn't recharge her since they didn't have her maintenance pod. Shion looked over her shoulder at chaos, looking peacefull yet was not.
"A lot of things on your mind?"
Shion looked up at Albedo, "Yes. It's all so--complicated. I don't know where any of this begins or ends. Or if anything that's happening is connected."
"Push too hard on the spider web and it will break. Blow on it softly and it will hold."
Shion's brow furrowed with puzzlement.
Albedo gave a short chuckle, "You are trying too hard Shion Uzuki. Let everything fall into place and then it all will make sense to you."
"What do you know of any of this. As far as I've figured your just a 'key' in this whole game." Shion glared.
Albedo closed his eyes against the pain, "That was my roll yes. It was and stille is, a little different in the beggining though." Shion wanted to question the white haired lunatic more but she figured all she would get was more questions. So rather than confuse herself further, Shion found a place to sleep.
MOMO watched all this with half closed eyes. Yes, she silently agreed with Shion, it was all so mind numbing. The little realian snuggled against Ziggy's body then fell asleep.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Roughly eight hours later, Allen moaned softly when his name was called to awaken. Tony called his name again, this time grabbing the others nose and shaking it. Allen pulled his head away disaprovingly and turned over in a pathetic attempt to escape his tormentor. Maybe he should've just gotten up. Allen didn't realize that someone's arm was around his waist and he turned his face right into Shion's. It took him a second to realize this little fact, and when he did, boy did he jump.
"Ahhhh!!!" Allen's face flared red with embaressment.
Shion snapped awake, "What is it! Oh, Allen stop yelling you woke me up."
Everyone burst out laughing hysterically. Jr. rolled over holding his side, MOMO had to lean against the wall to keep standing. Matthews slapped Tony on the back for a job well done. Even Ziggy cracked a grin.
Jr. wiped away a tear, "That was a great one Allen! Trying to make the move on your boss eh?"
Allen stood up hurriedly, "That was not funny! Sorry chief. Uh, w--why were you--uh, there anyway?" he stuttered. Shion rubbed the sleep from her eyes and yawned, "What's wrong with where I was? I was cold so I needed someone to snuggle with." she half teased, still trying to wake up. Shion dug into her bag and pulled out her glasses. Her co-worker blushed an even deeper shade of red.
"Kos-mos? I think we've had enough rest."
The android opened her eyes, "Please make haste Shion. We are wasting time by remaining here."
"Not so much as a 'good morning' Kos-mos? Well that's kind of rude. Besides," she glanced over her shoulder, "we don't know when or even if chaos will awaken. And he's the one who was leading us."
"I am well aware of that fact Shion." Kos-mos replied, "It seems that you have forgotten that he informed you of taking us to the core of Dead's Tear. That is where we shall go since he designated it as our destination."
"We still don't even know what we're up against. And since there was that Floral Beauty we've just found out that there are more gnosis that we don't know about." Shion argued, "We do not know what we're up against Kos-mos."
"That's why I'm here is it not?"
Startled, everyone turned toward chaos. The youth slowly opened his eyes. They were very glassy and distant, almost like he was mezmorized.
"chaos you're ok!" MOMO cried in relief.
He coughed, "Albedo."
The URTV gripped the others hand and jerked him to his feet. chaos' gaze passed over everyone then he seemed to loose it. He couldn't focus on anything for a few moments, feeling light headed and dizzy. chaos almost fell backwards when the floor tipped heavily.
"Are you sure you're fit to walk?" Akita asked.
chaos regained his sense of up and down, "Yes." was the simple reply. He walked strongly passed everyone without another glance. Uncertainly, they followed. Eventually they reached a flesh wall that opened up with sickening sucking and slurping sounds to reveal a flesh set of stairs. chaos descended without looking back to be sure they were following. He didn't have to. There was no other place to go.
After what seemed like long time they came to a maze of strange ships obviously not built by human hands. chaos did not hesitate of which way to turn. It was like he knew the way--or else something was guiding him that they couldn't see. One thing was for sure, no matter the twists and turns, they were always headed down.
At one point chaos stopped and held his hand over his mouth. Shion stepped forword coutiosly, "Is something wrong chaos?" she saw him blow out what looked like mist when it was too cold out. Wait a second--this looked like a familiar scenario.
"I'm fine." he began walking again, "It shouldn't be too far now."
"What too fa--oh no." Shion exclaimed. As they rounded the corner they came face to face with another vein this time inside of the wall, "We aren't going in 'that' are we?"
"There is an intricate ring of veins leading to the outer planets and then back to here." chaos explained as he pushed against the very thin skin and letting his hands sink into the gooey liguid, "For any that aren't gnosis they make the travel to the core a little more speedy."the youth sank inside before anyone could question him.
Once again the crew found themselves coursing beyond lightning speed through the blood of the Acid Droplet. With zilch sense of direction.
Bubbles flew from Jr.'s mouth as he gasped. chaos was standing like a road block in the raging currents. He waited patiently before lifting his gold sparkling hand and sending them flying up. Kos-mos, Ziggy, Jr. and Albedo landed gracefully on their feet.
Kos-mos straightened up and surveyed their new surroundings. Here there were even more alien creatures than the ones before. The gnosis must be going for the most available source of 'income'. Before them stood four giant pits that seemed to go on forever. MOMO crawled over to peak over the edge, "We don't have to drop down these do we?" her voice echoed into the howling breeze. Ziggy pulled her away.
Shion watched chaos burst from the vein and land nimbly on the balls of his feet. With hardly a pause he continued walking.
She hated herself for being curious, but while they were waiting for whatever fate beheld them, Shion walked up next to Albedo, "Uh, if it's ok Albedo I'd like to ask you a question."
The URTV looked down at her, amusement crossing his face, "'You' wanting to talk to 'me'? Now this is funny." he grinned.
"Shion!"
"Oh Jr. it's just a question." Shion turned back, hesitating for a second, "How are you able to regenerate so fast? The fastest anyone can do that is with nano bots. But they can't regenerate as fast as you can, or regenerate one's full head for that matter."
Albedo laughed, "So you want to learn that little secret of mine? Very well, but you should ask chaos that, not me." this should be amusing, he thought. The silver haired youth only acknowledged that he'd heard by a slight turn of his head. Everyone waited, just as interested as a reluctant Jr.
"Bondage."
"Huh?"
"I said bondage." chaos repeated, "The URTV's are a rare thing to come by due to certain incidents in the past. They were all connected until that one day correct Rubedo?" Jr. was shocked. How did chaos know what had happened?
chaos continued, "Even though the main link was completely shattered in the URTV's minds a few were still bound between certain survivors."
"To the point." Jr. picked up his pace so that he was behind him.
"Because you are alive Rubedo, Albedo is alive. And vise versa. As long as either of you live, neither of you can die."
Jr. glanced fiercly over his shoulder at his darker half, "I'm still connected to that bastard?"
chaos sighed in annoyance, "Do I have to give an example? I think I do to get it in your head." Without warning the youth spun around. There was a flash of flat light that trailed the movements of his hand looking almsot like a blade. The light seemed to go though Jr.'s neck perfectly. Time seemed to stop.
"JUNIOR!!!!!" MOMO eye's went wide with complete horror as her best friend's head rolled off his neck, "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
There was an outroar of sick and outraged crew memebers. Shion summoned forth her MWS without thinking and pointed it at chaos who was still in the position of striking. Abruptly there was a flurry of watery energies that sprouted from the headless body of Jr. which gathered, took form, and then vanished to reveal another head.
Jr. gasped and screamed. He stumbled back into Albedo and gripped him for support. He looked scared. chaos calmly looked at all the trembling guns pointed at him. He walked over to the former head of Jr. and kicked it into one of the nearby pits, "Now you get what I mean?" he turned his back to them and continued walking towards another set of stairs leading down. Nobody moved for a good few minutes. Jr. didn't care that he was hiding in his rival's arms, he was just too flat out surprised, and scared to care. MOMO stared trembling at the trail of blood leading to the pit, holding on tightly to her guardian. Ziggy pulled her face the oposite way.

He walked over to the former head of Jr. and kicked it into one of the nearby pits, "Now you get what I mean?" he turned his back to them and continued walking towards another set of stairs leading down. Nobody moved for a good few minutes. Jr. didn't care that he was hiding in his rival's arms, he was just too flat out surprised, and scared to care. MOMO stared trembling at the trail of blood leading to the pit, holding on tightly to her guardian. Ziggy pulled her face the oposite way.
