Houston, they have a problem

Stomping forward with a purpose after the three aliens, the Celstials, plus current companions, snuck into hiding spots with Volcana wincing at her back as she hid beside Ken's large right ankle.

Parasite was keeping a wary eye on Kevin while Evelyn was cooing over Man-Bat who relaxed at her soft pats, the very sight making those not in the know realize just how brave the "Demoness" was.

Seeing Volcana's wince, Angela spoke.

"Want me to check over you're wounds?" seeing the woman turn to the Thanagarian, she had a look of hesitance before she nodded with a small "Thanks". Which was followed by her turning her back to Angela to show her back was heavily blistered, making her hiss at the sight before getting to work.

Thus when Burnout peeked around a Cockpit of an old ship he found The Loboan and Viktor stepping into an old Shuttle, while the Thep Khufan left they're eyesight.

This, made Ken think before turning to the others.

"We need to split up" seeing them all look at his turtle like face, Akali spoke.

"We'll need a group to shut down the Ship, no doubt that Mummy is heading right over to make sure it happens" nodding to her Aranea spoke her piece.

"Me, Max, Gwen, Kevin, Venessa and Ben can go to keep the ship grounded, You can take the larger group to stop the Loboan and Transylian" looking among them, Ken shook his head while thinking of Aranea's pregnancy.

"No, you take the group, I'll take on Viktor" moving to follow, Aranea zipped in front of him with a look.

"Oh no, you are not going alone, You may have found a loophole on that watch but what if that fails and you're armor is nullified by Viktor's lightning?" seeing her standing there firmly, Ken looking down at her form before sighing.

"Genji, Hanzo… 2B, 9S, follow me, we're gonna skin a wolf, no offense Lupa" the only reaction she gave was a shrug.

"It is no skin off my back" snorting a plume of smoke from his nostrils, Ken turned to Aranea who had a relieved look on her face.

Looking up as Ken knelt down, he rubbed his nose gently against her head with a low gentle rumble, like an Alligators.

"Be safe alright" smiling up at her boyfriend, Aranea nodded as she moved to her group.

"Alright, let's get moving" watching at they left with Ken's group remaining, Burnout lead the charge/walk to the entrance where Viktor and the Loboan entered, Ken tore the door open before climbing through with the ninja bro's and androids following closely.

Flashing back into his human form, Ken knelt low as the two ninja's moved ahead from above.

Peeking around a corner to see an open area where a large machine sat hooked to many machinery, 2B and 9S looked over the device with 2B frowning while 9S spoke.

"That's odd" turning to the android with confusion, Ken turned back to the machine as Viktor spoke to the Loboan.

"What is?" seeing 9S point to the machine behind Viktor as it lit up, 9S spoke.

"I downloaded the schematics from an open server connected to the machine… it was at first a short range teleporter… but it's been upgraded for longer distances" giving 9S a frown, the android continued, not noticing the two staring at him.

"But it needs two signal boosters" turning back as a portal opened with a loud VRRRRRRRRRRR! the three turned in time to see the Loboan flying through before it landed in Mexico…. The reserve they first encountered it.

"Now what's this?" watching as the portal stayed open for a moment longer, the Loboan returned with a snort as the portal closed.

"Good, that signal should allow us to enter and free the master" frowning as they followed them into an open area, Ken looked to the royal like room and the throne… ok what the hell?

"Ok, am I the only one confused?" turning to 2B who had spoken her mind, Ken went to speak before hearing an alarm go off, along with their comms coming to life with Aranea's voice speaking urgently.

"Ken, you need to stop Viktor, It's a Jail break!" frowning at her words before he looked up at hearing a distant rumble.

"What happened to stopping the Ship?" reaching back to grab his Lancer while moving to confront Viktor and the Loboan, Aranea's voice spoke through with a much clearer voice.

"It's not a ship it's a Satellite!" aiming his rifle at Viktor while he was looking over a console. Ken shot a screen to get his attention, making the Loboan turn and snarl at him with Viktor glaring.

"I should have made sure you were crushed" shrugging as the group had a stare down, Ken spoke.

"Eh, most people have no common sense now a days" staring at Ken with an annoyed frown, Viktor went to speak if not for the console to beep, making him turn his head to look at the screen before he smiled triumphantly.

"No matter, you are too late" turning to press a button with Purple lightning arcing over him, Viktor spun with a wave of lightning hovering between the groups… it's translucent image slowly clearing up to show what Ken could see was a Ship like fortress before morphing into a large open area, looking like a market place but… darker and modern.

Seeing Viktor reach for a device, he turned to the Loboan who snarled at Ken.

"Keep them busy until my return" seeing Viktor step through while the Loboan stalked towards them, Ken looked between Loboan and the portal as it began to close.

And making a choice. possibly the most reckless he's ever made… Ken made a mad dash to the portal much to his current teams surprise.

"KEN WAIT!" ignoring 2B's call to him, Ken looked to see the Loboan about to lunge at him. Spinning while leaping forward, Ken drove a serrated Kukri into the Loboan's neck as they both fell through the Portal, leaving the androids and ninja staring in shock as it closed before they could Follow.

"KEN!"
