Author's Note;

Brook's View
I yawn soft pushing off my lab table to crack my back. Sliding my hand across my phone screen I see a text from Joey. Joey 'Dad says come home urgent family talk'. 'Have meeting with Brother F from the head divisions and other head chairs. Tell dad I'll be late.' Getting up I take off my smeared lab coat and pants. My personal assaultron QT hands me a clean coat and pants. QT is my personal bodyguard and lab assistant when I need multiple hands to work on a project. I've taken up my mother's laboratorial ethics of doing and getting things done my way or on my own. I just don't like people asking or worrying if they aren't following what I told them to the letter. QT "Sir the meeting is starting in twelve minutes." "Thank you QT lets go." Riding the elevator down to the second floor several scientist and lab hands move around the clean transport floor to the work areas. The steel copper statue of Liberty prime and my first Titan and Jockey stand nice on both sides of the room.
They even have a stature of dad next to prime. That day always affects my family Connor always acted weird when we talked about it. I honestly thought he was going to have a break down if someone didn't compare him to how close he and dad looked. Walking to the floors terminal transports I take a short tram cart over to the Archives department. The General Grants research base and institute was founded by two men. Both brothers and one being the father of head researched and lead scientist Brother F. He was one of several clones the two brothers created to keep their legacies going. Brother F is the only clone that has remained alive. Simply because of the numerous mechanical parts in his body. A short elevator ride and I find I've arrived in time for the meeting. I see Brother F and the other five department chairs. Brother F "Good Brook you made it. I was worried your research would have taken you away from another meeting?" "No need to worry the cells are progressing nicely. I've just about trying to crack the melting limitations they still show after ninety eight minutes."
Brother F "Good so then as you're all aware the need for solar energy is increasing. But with limited resources from Colony and United OOO kingdoms we can't get the panel grids to expand to the republic and the Highlands. Or the other reaching lands." Head energy division states her voice "What if we created pylons to guide extra energy from here as close as we can?" Head bio division states his voice "The problem is still money and resources. Colony and the UOK are focusing on creating more jobs. But they're limiting the jobs to land safety and building construction." "Plus they've all agreed that some areas most remain untouched." Brother F "Then our only other choice is to created a type of factory and have power cells of energy delivered on a scheduled bases to help them." Head-engineering divisions states his voice "But the time it'll take to create and stabilize these cells? Not to mention to find a transport that is effective will take sometime.
"Brother F are you sure the Republic and Highlands can wait that long?" Brother F "I'll be sure to bring them up first thing when I talk with them all later. For now we have other matters to attend to." And like that the meeting went on. My presence was only need for the right crunching of numbers. And like everyone else to agree and break stalemates in decisions. With the time already closing in on two in the afternoon Brother F ends the meeting. Riding an elevator to the ground floor Head energy division woman accompanies QT and myself. She hasn't said anything to me only taking quick glances at me every so often. I can tell she wants to say something to me. But no doubt like others attracted to me she will hold her tongue.
Reaching the ground floor QT and I begin our walk to my car. From here is a short plane flight from grandfather's manor to the family homestead. Approaching the main glass doors a man with package steps in our path. Before I can walk around him he pulls a blaster. Feeling the hard spike in my adrenaline I formed a fist and throw it. The man is shocked his blaster round bounces off my fist and is unable to move away. My fist collides with his jaw sending him backwards and over the waiting area's couch. Exhaling slowly I walk to him as he tries to crawl away. But I feel a tug at my leg stopping me from getting closer. Looking down I see a little girl smiling at me. QT "Sir the child has an explosive." QT could only warn me of it the danger. In a blinding burning crack I feel weightless I can't hear. But I know something cold is touching me. I still haven't told QT that I finished the blue prints for my surprise to her...

Finn is upset that Brook is so late. But even so he had all his loved ones and talked Hunson into telling them about the threat. Listening and looking out the living rooms side window Finn feels a shark twitch go through all his senses. Dropping his cup of tea to have to shatter on the floor spilling what's left of his tea catches everyone attention. Hawk shrieks like a banshee and Calamity roars in outrage. Finn "Brooks hurt..." Summoning his sword Finn rushes outside. But as his family follows they stop. Standing before Finn is the same young man the dimensional shifter that spoke to Hunson some time ago. Hunson "Shifter what have you done!" The shifter looks from the large group to the king before him. Shifter his face still and calm "I warned you Hunson and you as well Connor. I wanted you both to understand that your father is an anomaly in all forms of reality. I told you the thoughts of mortality Connor so you could surpass your father.
"But I see a more direct approach is still need for this world." Finn "What have you been doing to my family?" Shifter "Sir Finn you and I have not been fully introduced? My name is Neo Deadmau the fifth. My existence is simply to keep the balance and eliminate things in a world's time line that must not continue. You were suppose to be eliminated because of how much danger you can cause." Finn "I'm a hero I stop danger not give meaning or life to it." Neo "But that is where you are wrong. You have cheated Death's hand more then twenty times. The reason is because your existence is always unclean. In every reality you exist your destiny is never the same. It always changes yes but with your destiny is never written. Not even a small notes. You only appear as you walk then your place in reality is noticed.
"I thought that with you dead that this world would finally see a proper timeline. But with you alive again the timelines and destinies of others are cut off or hidden. I am sorry but to correct this I must take some measures." Finn "If my son is dead I will make sure your skull is the next addition to my vault." Finn glares at the shifter his gray leather outfit and the pieces of bronze shinning in the clear sky. Finn's tightens his grip on his sword before in the blink of an eyes reappears in front of Neo arching his sword into a swing. But just as Finn disappear so does Neo. Finn's head travels up and everyone else follows too. Their floating in the air is Neo looking down at them all. Neo "I have to say King Finn I am impressed at your speed and power. But you are merely a mortal playing with immortality. I am a being of reality one that must see the future right. And to do that you must die." Finn "Then lets not waste anymore of each others time. My son needs his family and if you're going to get in my way then you are my enemy." Neo "So be it Grass king."

My word when the female Guard told me she had a distraction. I didn't think it was one that could match that King of Grass himself in a duel. Seeing the people watch from afar as their king clashes with this young guy is something. The Grass Kin are keeping everyone at a safe distance. Perfect for my team and I to make our move. The power these two possess is something I must avoid. Signaling my team we move through the side alleys and then into the large pond the divides a portion of the small town and the kinds home. Using the ponds water we observe and wait for a good opening to sneak into the home. Looking up from just above the water I hear three watery gasps as I see the Grass King exchanging weapon strikes with the other young man. The young man is using a slightly curved thick single side sword. Along its cutting edge are four serrated teeth.
The young guy catches the Kings sword in its teeth but the King throws a punch at the guys. Once again the teen vanishes in an eye blink to reappear a few feet from the King. The King hisses landing on the ground he raises his metal arm. In a flash his arm opens revealing that inside is a made completely of green fire. The King says a word I can't hear only for a wide and focused stream of flame to scream into the sky at the teen. Signaling the others we move to the kitchen window and get inside. I had to slap Samson's arm to get him to focus on the job and not the fight happening a yard away. Looking around we make quick work of finding the entrance to the vault. Take the ladder down and come to the giant vault door brings for the unpleasantries of jobs like this. I sigh seeing that three Grass Kin all lord level mind you are still inside keeping watch.
"Gentle warriors of grass is it a turn of phrase to perhaps somehow in a way get you to turn a blind eye for us to get in." In that each pull their swords from their sides staring my men and me down. "Very well then a fight it is." Snapping my fingers my men leap into action. Oh sure we have them outnumbered but these warriors that hid in grass are trained by the very same powerhouse fighting above us. Seeing my men try to hold their own against the grass warriors is not going well. These ones have been trained to use grass-based abilities. One disappeared to have in her stead several grass like duplicates begin to fight my men. Her clone kicks three of my men to then effortlessly cleave another of my men in two.
Try as my men might we are use to fighting simple security guards. And from time to time Enforce officers not trained killers and guards of royalty. Seeing the younger looker lord easily control his fight to behead four of my men is not a pretty thing. He seems to be enjoying the fight as another one of my men try to wrap him with his tongue. Only for the kin to use a whip of grass that was his belt and impale it through my men's head. Watching my man fall from his perch on a tree root is not something I planned to see today. Nor the fact that he went crossed eyed as he dropped backwards in his death. Giving the order for them to pull away I pop a special canister from my coat pocket. Throwing the canister and two others I side up my wet suite covering my mouth.
As the gas fills the tunnel the kin cough violently and try to cover their mouths. But the gas is a special planet and fungus pesticide. And seeing as the grass kin's blood is mixed in with planet pathogens it'll kill them too. With the coughing dying down I go to the vault and start to crack its code. Feeling the rumbling getting worse I must hurry before our window is over. I hate not getting paid for hard jobs with my tongue on the line. Seeing the numbers buzz by the screens its not long before the right number is scanned. Opening the doors I smiling "Ok look for our pay but nothing else. Not even the Highguard are sure about the other stuff. And I wanted a guaranteed pay not a potential grudge or curse. The last time we need is that king of Grass himself after our tongues." Another rumble from above causes my men to gulp loudly and hurry in our search.
Neo Deadmau's View
Once again I avoid another of King Finn's attack. He truly is powerful one of his swings alone can kill a giant. With how straight, smooth, and deep his slashes are going into the ground. I've been having more trouble then I hoped with his constant Soul attacks. His last one almost trapped me and stopped my rifting. Rifting is what a dimensional shifter uses to pop in and out of a dimension. Or any given point in a realities timeline. Sure we can go back in time but our powers forbid us from changing the history of a dimension. Less we create several alternating branches to that timeline. But right now my attention is one the anomaly that is Finn Mertin King of the Grassland. As King Finn leaps into the air once more his black spirit lunges from his metal arm.
In midflight it morphs into a large three head python. Seeing each head bare its fangs at me I rift away in a second. Once again I'm at King Finn's side a few feet away. But I turn to see his other spirit bearing down on me as a large polar bear. Its claws spark against my sword but once more the other spirit springs to try and catch me. I side step both a few times swing my own weapon to deter there attacks. Much like their owner these spirits are apart of the Finn anomaly. Rifting away the two collide but I feel a pain in my hip. Looking down I see the amber mix color of King Finn's claymore. King Finn "Incinerate." Seeing his metal arm ignite into a super concentrated stream of heat I rift again. A few feet away I look at my side this is the few times someone or a non-reality affecting being has hurt me. And the first one that has set me on fire
"King Finn I am impressed by your tactics and you finesse for a fight. But I must ask can do the same for mine tactics." Sliding my hand over my wound it vanishes only for King Finn to grunt in pain. Seeing him hold his side and say a few words of speech he knows the damage his weapons can cause. So it's no surprise he knows how to treat it. "I know you want to have things as simple and peaceful as you wish them to be. But King Finn your existence interrupts too much. So I had to separate intervals that caused you to be a hero. Sending you on that long journey was my first try to kill you. But as you grew, learned, and adapted I need to raise the levels to kill you. Then their was the Demoniac originally he and his allies were frozen in sold Soul tapped steal. But I freed him in the hopes that if two equal forces meet they would both be put out. Your are a fire King Finn one that burns too strangely and too odd to remain going. I see now that another approach is needed to make to you stay dead.
"My mortal contacts workers have finished their step now I must do the same." Rifting again I stand before Connor. Snapping my fingers I freeze time itself. Looking around I see his mothers morphing or pulling a weapon to attack me. His relatives shocked or doing the same all readying to attack me yet another weakness of certain minds. Snapping my fingers I tap Connor's shoulder. Connor takes a breath and sees the frozen world. "Connor you know that you too are an anomaly. Created from the main source of this world's imbalance. I told you before the secrets of mortality now would you care to listen as I tell you the secrets of life beyond?" Connor looks at me then to his family. "You know that their love isn't fully real don't you? You're a product just like your siblings. You all have his genes but are simply small fragments of what he is. Don't you wish to stand on your own? Without always haven't to be judged for who you are not?"
Seeing Connor's eyes he nods and I snap my fingers again rifting us to our next stop. Connor "Why are we in my grandfathers castle?" "Follow me and I will show you." Following me his breath is filled with worry but after this it'll all make sense to him. Stopping at the last door in the lone basement hallway I age the chains on it to dust. In the rooms center is a goblet with that of a horned creature of olds face on the side. "Connor your mother is the current queen of vampires. So a small part of you is vampire as well as demon. But what would you say if I told you that Gega's first vampires weren't fully living?" Connor looks at me but I rift us both and the goblet to somewhere we can talk for some time longer. 'Connor you will soon became a monster... whose purpose is to stop all that hurts you.'
Smiles; That's a cliffhanger if I ever saw one.
Jester; Sorry for the wait still everyone but hope you still like us enough to read. So like always like, share, and comment.
Smiles; Peace off and WE'LL HUG YOU LATER!
