Justin: Wow…
Rachel: That's the Gravity Cannon…
Justin: Good thing I'm one of the good guys now… wouldn't want that thing fired at me…
Rachel: C'mon, we've got to get to the briefing.
Justin: Okay…
**A few moments later**
Everyone was just sitting down for the briefing. Justin floated up to the ceiling and hung upside down there. Dr. D, his team of scientists, Major Herman, and Colonel Shubaltz were the last ones in the room.
**Later**
After a long explanation on how the Gravity Cannon worked, assignments were handed out. They'd have to test the Gravity Cannon, and a shell that big would attract a lot of attention. Rachel, Van, Irvine, and Thomas were to protect the UltraSaurus if there was trouble and Justin was to create a diversion. Right after the Gravity Cannon was fired; Justin was to create another explosion at a distance.
Until the cannon was installed, Rachel and the others were going to rest. Justin went to help install the cannon.
**Lounge**
Moonbay, Fiona, and Rachel were standing at the window watching the Gravity Cannon being installed. Thomas, Irvine, and Van were asleep on separate couches behind them. Verte and Zeke were talking about whatever Organoids talk about on the other side of the room.
Suddenly, one of the cables lifting the Gravity Cannon snapped. It hit the window and the cannon's front was about to fall to the ground but Justin grabbed the cable. He lifted the cable up to the other end and melted the two cables together. The Demon then flew back out of the way and the cannon was lifted again.
Rachel: He sure is something, isn't he?
Fiona: *nods*
Moonbay: But what is he?
Rachel: What?
Moonbay: Do you even know what Justin is or where he came from?
Rachel: No…
Moonbay: You mean, you've never thought about that? How do you know if we can even trust him or not? He could be working with Hiltz!
Rachel: Of course we can trust him! Justin's my friend. Besides, if he was working with Hiltz don't you think he would've destroyed the Ultrasaurus by now?
Moonbay: I suppose you're right, but we still don't know what he is or where he came from…
Fiona: He doesn't know either.
Rachel: What?
Fiona: I heard him talking to Van and Thomas the other day. He said he didn't know where he came from or what he is either.
Rachel: Well, after this whole Death Stinger thing is over, I'm going to try and help him find that information.
**Later**
The Gravity Cannon was about to be tested. The WarShark and a HammerHead swam into place in front of the Ultrasaurus. Two Pteres equipped with gattling rifles circled in the air. Justin was still flying towards where he was supposed to be. He reached the area and looked around. There was NOTHING else there besides sky and sea. Justin turned on his radio and looked over at the direction of the Ultrasaurus.
Justin: Okay, I'm in position.
Herman: After we fire the Gravity Cannon, wait thirty seconds then create a second explosion as far away from us as you can. You'll be on your own when the enemy shows up. Make sure none of them get to the Ultrasaurus.
Justin: What do I do if the Death Stinger shows up?
Herman: Same battle-plan, just inflict as much damage as you can on it.
Justin: Okay.
**A few moments later…**
Colonel Shubaltz fired the cannon. Justin watched the shell fly through the air and then remembered what he was supposed to do. After the shell exploded, Justin began to count backwards from thirty. When he reached 0, the Demon fired a charged particle blast to the distance. Another huge explosion sent water everywhere. The mist formed a small rainbow.
Several Sinkers began approaching. Justin fired another Charged particle beam, and wiped out a third of the enemy. The others all turned and immediately opened fire on the Demon. Justin returned fired while dodging enemy fire.
Justin: I've engaged the enemy. Just a bunch of Sinkers. No Death Stinger in sight.
Herman: Keep 'em busy. Send a signal when they're gone and we'll send someone to get you.
Justin: All right. *Herman closes radio link* Time for some target practice.
