Part 40

chaos: Enough! You're far too much trouble...
Shion: --turns to meet Allen-- And just what do you think you are doing!
Allen: W-w-well ch-cheif...you got that super Ether power and all, and I am just a dinky little engineer...I was hoping you'd be able to stop the bullets if they came over here!
Shion: Stop the...bullets? Stop the bullets! STOP THE BULLETS! Well...I guess that does make sense.
Allen: --smiles nervously-- Y-You ss-see!
Shion: --slaps Allen on the face-- But it doesn't mean you should hide behind me!
Allen: --rubs his cheek-- Oww! Well, what was I suppose to do...build a shield in a split-second!
Shion: Well maybe I don't know, but I do know running away like a coward isn't being very resourceful!
Allen: Stop yelling at me!
Shion: D-did...you tell me to...st-stop?
Allen: --gulps-- Yeah...
Shion: COME HERE, YOU! --pounces on Allen and starts kissing him-
Allen: GAH! STOOOP!
Shion: Oh, that's what your mouth says, but--
KOS-MOS: Shion! What has gotten into you?
Jr: Oh yeah!
Allen: Ummm Shmion --tries to talk with Shion's tounge in his mouth-
Shion: Yes, Kevin!
Allen: Ymour meyes arem greem...
Shion: And you're just noticing this now?
Allen: Them're glomwing...
Shion: Oh why thank you!
chaos: Shion...your eyes are glowing green...
Shion: Everyone is complementing me today!
Nephilim: --hovers over next to Shion-- Your eyes are green. This is most...disturbing.
Jr: Yes, yes Nephilim, I think it's established how disturbed you are. --grins wickedly-
Nephilim: Shion, come over here a moment.
Shion: Can't you see I'm busy!
Allen: Mhelp!
Nephilim: Do you want to give Allen a heartattack again? Come over here.

--With a slight gesture, Nephilim picks up Shion off the ground and levitates her over to the other side of the room. Nephilim then makes her own way over to Shion's new location.--

Shion: --pouts and tries to catch her breath from all the excitement-- Sheesh! Can't a girl have any fun!
Allen: --from across the room-- I...I can't...breathe... --passes out-
Nephilim: Stand still. I wish to examine your eyes.
KOS-MOS: --nudges close to chaos and leans down-- Say, chaos...
chaos: Yeah?
KOS-MOS: --speaks softly-- Do you want to...y'know...make a premature departure without informing anyone?
chaos: Err, now?
KOS-MOS: Well, watching Shion increased vibrations in my...emotional matrix.
chaos: We can't just leave them...
Jr: And besides, you'd probably just make another "premature departure"! HAHA! --laughs-
chaos: --blushes profusely-- I'm sure you'd know better then me!
Jr: Not-uh! Didn't you hear me before! I'm so pure, I could be sacrificed to dragons! Oh wait, they take MAIDEN sacrifices, don't they? Well at least you got one out of two for being a maiden, chaos! --laughs some more-
chaos: With what tastes of what I see in your mind, I highly doubt you're anything close to "pure"...in fact, I think you may be even more perverted then ALBEDO!
Nephilim: chaos, stop your futile attempt at winning a battle for male dominance and join me here.
Jr: HAHA! --laughs harder-
chaos: But Neeeephiliiim!
Nephilim: Quiet! If you do not heed my request, I will make sure your next form has so much testoterone, your will have acne in places you did not know even existed!
chaos: --sighs and makes his way over next to Nephilim-- Yes, ma'am...
chaos: --stares at Shion-- Hmm...so...what am I looking at?
Nephilim: Her eyes. They're glowing with--

Part 41

--Before Nephilim could finish her sentence, she vanished.--

Shion: AHH! Where'd she go!
Jr: Sheesh! Can't that chick stay in one place!
chaos: Wait...it's Nephilim...Nephilim is back!
Hammer: That was quick...

--Nephilim reappears wearing her original clothes, and has a few strapes and bruises as well. As soon as she materializes, she collapses. chaos immediatly rushes over to her, takes a kneeling position, and prompts her head up.--

chaos: Nephilim! Nephilim! Are you OK!
Nephilim: I am...fine. Time is just...not on our side...anymore.
Shion: What is going on!
Nephilim: I...followed the last pulse here...
Jr: Pulse! USE REAL WORDS!
KOS-MOS: Pulse is a real word.
Jr: Shut up!

--chaos tries to speak, but the ship tumbling to the side quickly silences him. Admiral Matthews comes running onto the bridge with a very concerned look on his face.--

Admiral Matthews: Don't ya MORONS notice the thirty billion Gnosis outside!
Jr: --looks outside-- Holy !

--The crew found thesmelves looking at an endless sea of Gnosis, circling like sharks around their tiny cargo vessel.--

Hammer: $#$#! We were pulled out of column jump!
Shion: KOS-MOS!
KOS-MOS: Affirmative. Activating wide-area Gilbert Effect.
Admiral Matthews: Don't ya means Hilbert effect?
KOS-MOS: Negative. Hilbert effect was the last generation of anti-Gnosis materialization systems. Gilbert, his estranged son, completed a better model in my time.
Jr: MAKE WITH THE SHINIES ALREADY!
KOS-MOS: Affirmative. --a visor materializes over her head, as she charges up-

--A huge circle of blue energy pushes out from KOS-MOS, sweeping through the Gnosis like a wave in the ocean. Instantly, all of the Gnosis becoming solid.--

Admiral Matthews: Well now they're nice 'n solid, but this ship ain't gots the weapons to fights them with!
Hammer: Could someone PLEASE tell me what is going on here! And why aren't they attacking!
Nephilim: I believe the answer lies in Shion's eyes...
Shion: My...eyes?
chaos: Shion...you're...glowing!
Shion: What?
KOS-MOS: --walks over to take a closer look at Shion-- Indeed! Shion, your emitting a faint aura of energy, visable within the green spectrum of light!
Shion: I'm glowing...green? My eyes are glowing green?
KOS-MOS: Negative. Your entire body is sending out pulses of energy.
Nephilim: The final pulse...
Hammer: Uh, guys! Guuuys! There's a Cathethral Ship coming our way!
Admiral Matthews: Not again! I just had this ship washed!
Jr: --suddenly perks up and runs over to the window-- It...it can't be!

--A beam of energy passes through the Gnosis Cathedral Ship, causing it to start coming apart from the inside out. The crew only sees a flash of light flying wildly through the tremendous swarm of Gnosis, leaving a trail of death behind.--

Jr: --speaks softly to himself-- I can't believe this...-turns to the others-- Matthews! He's opened a path for us! We need to gate out NOW!
Admiral Matthews: --jumps into the navigator's chair-- Ya don't gots'ta tell me twice! --pushes a few buttons-- Here we go!

Part 42

chaos: Phew! That was close!
Hammer: Admiral! That thing followed us! It's docking!
Admiral Matthews: Oh fer cryin' out loud!

--Suddenly gaining a very grave expression, Jr runs out of the room without saying a word. KOS-MOS, Shion, and chaos follow him.--

chaos: it's...gigantic!
Shion: I didn't know they made them that big!
KOS-MOS: it's porportions do not match any known records!
Jr: Idiots, you've seen it before!

--The crew continues to stare at a huge, white machine similiar to a AGWS, but almost twice as large. The cockpit slowly opens and two figures step outside.--

Well...well...well! We meet again...Rubedo!
Jr: Albedo!
Albedo: --cackles-- Could it have been anyone else?
Jr: --glances down at Albedo's companion-- I see you've brought company...
Albedo: --hugs the shoulder of the Kirschwasser standing next to him-- Oh her? She's just a...toy.
Jr: You sick bastard!
Albedo: My, my, my! Has your memory started to fail you in your old age, Rubedo? Do you forget that I was the sole instrument in your salvation?
Jr: --takes out his guns-- Shut up!
Albedo: --grins wickedly-- Tsk, tsk...you were always the violent one...
Jr: You kill little girls for pleasure...and you call ME violent!
Albedo: Ah...Touche.
chaos: Albedo! What are you doing here?
Albedo: Glad you asked! I--
Jr: --whips around and fires a shot at chaos-- STAY OUT OF THIS!
Albedo: --shakes his head-- Your anger is somewhat misplaced.
Jr: SHUT UP! --fires a shot at Albedo-

--As soon as the shot was fired, the Kirschwasser companying Albedo jumps into the line of fire, absorbing the impact. She falls down limp to the floor.--

Jr: AUGGHH! YOU ALBEDO!
Shion: Ahh! Not another Realian death!
chaos: --shakes his head-- Such a senseless waste of life...
Albedo: --cackles manically-- You think she's dead, eh?
Jr: --jumps over to Albedo and aims his guns at vital spots-- Don't be givin' me any of that religious (-&!
Albedo: Mwhaha! Surprise, surprise! --points at the Kirschwasser, who appears to be getting back on her feet-
Shion: A...Amazing!
chaos: Perhaps not...
Jr: --inspects the Kirschwasser fully-- The bullet hole...it's...gone!
Albedo: But of course! I've upgraded her! She was the only one left, so I had to make her last...
chaos: She's a Synth copy of the Kirschwassers. But if Albedo required a copy...
Jr: You sick bastard!
Albedo: Oh yes, give me more of your anger! I am quite liking this!
Jr: --fires off a few shots at Albedo-- $#$# you! $#$#, $#$#, YOU!

--Albedo falls back from the impact of the bullets, but immediatly gets up again with three holes in his chest.--

Albedo: Hey look! Rubedo has made me holey! Perhaps I should go preform some miracles...Oh wait, I already did! --cackles insanely as the bullet wounds rapidly heal-
Jr: $#$# YOU!
chaos: Jr! That's enough!
Albedo: Yes Rubedo, listen to your mother!
Jr: chaos is not my mother! Although, he is feminine enough to be...
Albedo: I know, just look at his silky dark skin!
chaos: Why thank you, I use moisturizer three times a day to get it this smoo--HEY!

Part 43

Shion: Oh dear, I just remembered Allen is still unconscious...I'd better go check on him! -runs off-

Jr: --points his guns back at Albedo-- Now Albedo...TALK!
Albedo: But of course. Recently, my connection with U-DO has been waning. I can no longer hear the many voices of merriment within my head.
Jr: And the lack of voices in your head concerns you?
Albedo: --grins wickedly-- Quite. Furthermore, I noticed from my monitors that ma belle peche was missing...
KOS-MOS: Monitors?
Albedo: Yes, monitors. And must I say KOS-MOS, you do look stunning beneath those human trappings. --cackles-
KOS-MOS: --materializes arm into a cannon-- Charging! S-CANNON! --fires at Albedo, leaving a large hole through his chest-
Albedo: Oh yeah! That tickles! --cackles harder-
KOS-MOS: Logic fails me. How can even a derivative of a human converse with their lungs vaporized?
Jr: I guess you can say he's full of hot air!
Albedo: --grins widely and walks over to Jr-- My, my, Rubedo...are you...lonely?
Jr: Lonely? What, because I don't have voices talking in my head?
Gaignun: You tell him! --telepathic communication-
Albedo: --his wounds finish healing as he drapes his arm around Jr-- Oh no, I mean your little Realian fling is gone...
Jr: --moves out of Albedo's grasp-- MOMO is not just some fling! I...love her!
Albedo: --grins-- Just like you loved all those other girls?
chaos: What?
Jr: Shut up!
Albedo: --his grin turns more wicked-- Ah yes, he never told you about all those girls he...well, I suppose boys will be boys!
Jr: I was a teenager once, chronologically! I had needs...we...we all went through times like that!
Albedo: The beautiful song of U-DO was all that I required for company!
Jr: That must be why you're always hooking up with little girls!
Albedo: --grins more maliciously-- You're one to talk. Though you were fifteen chronologically, you sought out girls that were closer in age to your appearance...and then...there's always MOMO! --cackles-
KOS-MOS: Ugh. My disgust with Jr's actions have risen by 23.7 percent.
chaos: --shakes his head-- Everytime I learn more about Jr, I feel glad that I still know so little about him.
Jr: $#$# it! SHUT UP! There's...there's nothing wrong with it! --chaos and KOS-MOS start scooting away from Jr-- HEY! WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!
Albedo: --cackles-- Fun, fun!
Jr: I've had enough of you!
Albedo: I know! Would this make you feel any better?

--Albedo motions to the Kirschwasser, who immediatly catches his cue and transforms into an exact copy of MOMO.--

Kirschwasser: --emulates MOMO's voice perfectly-- Jr! I'm so happy to see you! Let's go play!
Jr: $#$# you Albedo! Stop this!
Kirschwasser: --appears sad-- Oh? You don't wanna play? I know! Then let's go... --leans over to Jr-- play!
Jr: Yeah, it has been a while I could use a--AUUGH! --retreats from the doppelganger by jumping backwards-- Albedo! Stop this NOW!
Albedo: --cackles in amusement-- Very well! Come back to daddy, my little pet.

--The Kirschwasser transforms back into her natural form, complete with the maid outfit, and takes her original spot next to Albedo.--

Jr: I'm warning you...
KOS-MOS: --steps out in front of Jr-- Enough. Albedo, there must be more to your arrival then just U-DO's wanning influence. Explain yourself immediatly.

Part 44

--Jr, chaos, and KOS-MOS are engaging Albedo and his Kirschwasser. Shion left earlier to go help Allen recover.--

Albedo: Finally! Well, me and U-DO have this plan...
chaos: --raises an eyebrow-- And what plan may that be?
Albedo: --grins widely-- Oh, wouldn't you like to know! Anyway, it doesn't work very well if the universe is destroyed.
KOS-MOS: What convinced you that the universe is facing it's demise?
Albedo: I believe it was U-DO collectively saying, "The universe will end shortly. Fix it." --cackles-
chaos: Are you in contact with U-DO now?
Albedo: Didn't you hear me before? That's why I came here! U-DO has lost cohesion.
chaos: I see...
Albedo: Oh, don't give me that! I know you can't hear your voices either! --grins-
chaos: Hmph. KOS-MOS, let's go. We'll get no help out of him...
Jr: Finally, mop head says something smart!
KOS-MOS: --shakes her head-- Negative. We will require the services of Albedo for this mission.
Albedo: Mwhaha! Of course you do! --cackles some more-
Jr: $#$# you, Albedo!
chaos: --sighs and shakes his head-- This is going to be a long trip...

--Meanwhile...--

Professor: Wilhelm! How are you doing! I finished adding my special modifications!

--Wilhelm, Blue Cloak, Red Cloak, and Black Cloak are at a secret robot construction facility near Vector Industries. MOMO is hanging limp over Blue Cloak's shoulders. Professor informs them of their project's status, while Assistant Scott is in the background, working on the robot.--

Wilhelm: I just hope these "modifications" do not result in another failure the likes of Omega-0.
Professor: Heavens no! This robot uses INVERTED happy circuit's!
Red Cloak: Wouldn't inverted happiness be the same as sadness?
Professor: --throws a fit-- Of course not! Inverted happy circuit's are the same as duplex candy circuit's!
Wilhelm: I thought we agreed --- no more "candy circuit's".
Professor: No, no, no...these use chocolate candy circuit's! The ones before were jawbreakers.
Wilhelm: Fine. --shouts-- Assistant Scott! Are we near completion?
Assistant Scott: --shouts back-- Just some more fine tuning, --whispers to himself-- like removing the "candy circuit's" --shouts again-- And we'll be good to go! We're ready for the "disk" whenever you are!
Wilhelm: Excellent. Blue Cloak, wake up MOMO.
Blue Cloak: Right.
Red Cloak: Do we have to?

--Blue Cloak slaps MOMO hard across the face, causing her to wake up with a start. As MOMO's eyes slowly adjust to reality, her first sight is an uncomfortably close blue cloaked man staring at her.--

Blue Cloak: Hello...MOMO! You're looking awfully...delicious today! --makes a slurping sound along with several hungry lip smacks-
MOMO: EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! Get away from me, you naughty man!
Blue Cloak: Oh yes, so delicious...-creeps up to MOMO-
MOMO: EEEK! --runs and hides behind Black Cloak-
Red Cloak: Why'd you go run behind him?
MOMO: I dunno, this guy seems trustworthy!
Red Cloak: The only difference between him and me is the colour of our cloaks!
Blue Cloak: Now now, let's not get into that discussion! --chuckles-
MOMO: Well, he doesn't say meanie things like you do! --sticks out her tounge-
Red Cloak: That's because he's mute! Sheesh...
Wilhelm: MOMO! It is time to complete your destiny.
MOMO: Oh, that sounds so lame!
Wilhelm: Lame or not, you will become the "disk" to the ultimate Disk Access Operating System!

Part 45

MOMO: I will never follow your plans, you big meanie!
Wilhelm: Come now. If you enter the system, you will gain remarkable power.
MOMO: ...Will...will it...hurt?
Wilhelm: --turns to Assistant Scott, who slowly nods his head, then turns back to MOMO-- Of course not. It will also enhance your cuteness. --Assistant Scott sighs-
MOMO: Reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallyy! I'LL DO IT!
Wilhelm: --walks over to the huge cockpit of the robot and beckons MOMO to enter-- Your carriage await's, miss.
MOMO: Tee-hee-hee!

--MOMO skips over to the open part of the robot's chest and examines it thoroughly. Various buttons, switches, and blinking lights surround a mold which is just big enough for her tiny Realian frame. MOMO has never liked small spaces, and cringes internally at imagining herself within what seemed like a metallic prison. She backs away slowly from the monsterous device and turns to face Wilhelm.--

MOMO: I-I'm...not so sure...
Wilhelm: It's perfectly safe...

--Wilhelm hears a noise and peeks behind MOMO to see the cockpit covered in razor-sharp spikes. He motions ever-so subtly to Assistant Scott, who rushes over and fixes the problem with a few button presses and switch flicks.--

Wilhelm: ...Trust me. Would I lie?
Red Cloak: Heh...-snickers-
Wilhelm: --glares at Red Cloak, then turns back to MOMO-- With the power of this machine, any of your dreams can come true.
Red Cloak: That is, if your dream is piloting a gigantic robot...
Professor: Isn't that everyone's dream!
Wilhelm: --glares even more intensely at Red Cloak, then once again turns back to MOMO-- Don't listen to them. Your destiny is decided here, today. Will you help better the world, or add to it's steady decline?
MOMO: --rushes away from Wilhelm and hides behind Black Cloak again-- NO! You're a MEANIE and a PERVERT! I won't listen to you!
Wilhelm: --sighs and shakes his head-- What is her obsession with perverts?
Red Cloak: Well, she IS engaged to Jr...
Wilhelm: Ah, of course.
Perhaps I can be of some assistance!

--Out of the shadows, a man wearing a yellow cloak appears. He holds a confident stride as he walks up to the others.--

Blue Cloak: Oh? And who are you?
Yellow Cloak: You may call me...YELLOW CLOAK!
Red Cloak: "Yellow Cloak"? Sheesh, what are we, the Power Cloaks?
Yellow Cloak: No, but you're a Power Puff!
Red Cloak: Har har. My, your wit is QUITE sharp...
Yellow Cloak: Oh yeah! Well...my mother!
Red Cloak: That's suppose to be YOUR mother.
Yellow Cloak: Don't you be goin' and talkin' about my mother! $$ you!
Black Cloak: Enough, Tony. --broadcasts it's thoughts to all-
Blue Cloak: Tony! Hah, I knew it!
Tony: --takes off the yellow cloak-- Yeah, well you can all go $$ yourselves.
MOMO: Tony!
Tony: Yeah it's me, my little sugarcakes. So come on over here to Uncle Tony and I'll hold your hand while you enter the nice big robot!
MOMO: NO! YOU'RE THE BIGGEST PERVERT OF THEM ALL!
Tony: Hah?
Blue Cloak: --laughs hard-- It's true! It's true!
Tony: Ah, shut up.

Part 46

Tony: Aw com'on, kid! You can do ALL kinds of neat things if you were to jump in this here robot!
MOMO: You're the worst of these cloaked meanies! Except Black Cloak, he's kinda cool.
Red Cloak: Tony isn't one of us.
Tony: I am too!
Red Cloak: You have to be dead to be one of us.
Tony: I'm dead! I'm so dead...sexy! Well, I'm also dead too...
Blue Cloak: I wonder if we were to love ourselves as much as Tony does, would it be considered necrophelia?
Black Cloak: Enough. Tony, you are still quite alive. And MOMO... --his transmit's thoughts to all-

--Black Cloak kneels down to meet MOMO face to face. MOMO shivered internally upon gazing deep into the dark void underneath Black Cloak's hood, sensing a horrible feeling of evil. Yet MOMO did not completely freak out, as there was a deeper feeling of familarity and kindness.--

Black Cloak: MOMO. It is time you faced your destiny. This machine can preform miracles the likes of which none has seen for millenia. Though you may not trust us, we trust you. Why else would we build this huge machine, who's sole purpose is for you to be it's pilot?
MOMO: I...I'm still not sure...
Black Cloak: --takes out a sword from underneath it's cloak and stabs it into the ground-- Then you must slay me.
MOMO: WHAT!
Black Cloak: If you slay me, there is a very good chance that you and all of your friends will be able to rescue you sucessfully.
Blue Cloak: Are you on DME or sumthin', Black Cloak?
Black Cloak: Slay me, and you will be free to leave.
MOMO: I...I...I-I can't. I can't do that! You...you aren't evil!
Black Cloak: Hmm. And what is evil? What is good? Are you truely wise enough to make such a solid decision? How do you really know that not helping us is the right path?
MOMO: OWWW! My head hurts! I just can't decide!
Black Cloak: --stands up, picks up the sword, and places back in it's cloak-- ...Very well. Come with me.

--Black Cloak takes MOMO's hand and leads her off to the side, out of listening range to the others. The group listened as hard as they could, and it seemed Black Cloak was actually talking in a REAL voice to MOMO. After about a minute, MOMO nodded and walked over to the machine's cockpit with renewed confidence.--

Red Cloak: What...the...$$?
Wilhelm: Impressive.
Blue Cloak: She's ready to help us again! What'd you say to her!
Black Cloak: Something I read in a book once.
Red Cloak: No, no, NO! I heard you over there...well, not exactly what you were saying, but you were speaking! So, now you are suddenly too good to speak to us again, eh?
Black Cloak: Desperate times call for desperate measures. I had to bend the rules a little. It won't happen again.
Wilhelm: --nods-- I see.
Red Cloak: No you don't! You don't see anything!
Wilhelm: Perhaps you don't.
Red Cloak: AUGH! --storms off mumbling-
MOMO: HEY GUYS! I'M READY!

--The group crowds around MOMO as she slowly enters the special mold of the cockpit, which is exactly her size. As soon as she enters the mold, she lets out a little yelp as her arms and legs are restrained, and some type of band is placed over her head. She gets a weird look on her face, then passes out.--

Assistant Scott: That headband is what we call the--
Professor: Candy Magic Headress!
Assitant Scott: ...Neural Interface, or "Master Crown". The other cables should connect momentarily.

Part 47

Wilhelm: "Other cables"?

--As soon as Wilhelm spoke, a dozen snake-like cables burst out from random locations in the cockpit and made a bee-line for various spots on MOMO's body and face. MOMO wakes up as the cables near.--

MOMO: EEEEEEKKKKKK!
Tony: Oh yeah!
Wilhelm: OH NO! No, no, NO!

--Upon hearing Wilhelm's strict command, the cables freeze in mid-air. MOMO winces at the sight of seeing the cables up-close.--

Wilhelm: Cease and desist this action at ONCE! I will NOT have this sort of behavior within MY robot!

--The cables start moving back to their points of origin. MOMO hesistantly breathes a sigh of relief.--

Wilhelm: That is better...-turns his back to the cockpit to face Assistant Scott-- What is the meaning of this?
Assistant Scott: Well, sir...

--As soon as Wilhelm turns his back, the cables slowly start creeping up to their original destinations. Wilhelm spins around suddenly and glares at the cables, which immediatly fully retreat back into their holes.--

Tony: Aww...
Assistant Scott: They were in the plans...
Wilhelm: --snatches the plans away from Assistant Scott-- Let me see those. --reads them carefully-- Wait a moment...these plans...they've been altered!
Professor: --whistles aimlessly as he slowly tries to sneak away-
Wilhelm: I have had enough of the Professor's constant interferance. Black Cloak, kill him.
Black Cloak: Right away.

--Black Cloak dashes towards the Professor with incredible speed. Before the Professor could even start running, Black Cloak had dispatched him with one swipe of it's sword.--

Red Cloak: What in the...
Blue Cloak: I knew it!
Red Cloak: No you didn't!
Wilhelm: Hmm, but I had my suspicions...

--Pieces of the Professor were strewn everywhere. Thankfully for the onlookers, the Professor was obviously some sort of machine. Circuitry, wires, and scrap metal littered the floor.--

Wilhelm: The Professor has tricked us. He sent a robot in his place, knowing that we would eventually kill him. --turns to Assistant Scott-- You there! What is the Professor planning?
Assistant Scott: --kneels down amongst the broken parts-- P-P-Professor...how...HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HIM!
Wilhelm: ...Excuse me?
Assistant Scott: --slowly gathers up the pieces-- The "Professor" was my invention. As a child, I never had any friends, nor a father...robots were my only passion. I invented what I considered both a friend and a father in the Professor, and gave him a love of robots that even surprassed myself.
Wilhelm: ...I see. Just as I suspected.
Red Cloak: You had no clue, and you know it.
Wilhelm: Quiet you. Assistant Scott...you do realize that the Professor had a few...bugs in his AI matrix.
Assistant Scott: Don't we all? DON'T WE ALL! --starts sobbing-
Blue Cloak: --leans over to Red Cloak-- That's one $$ed up kid.
Red Cloak: --leans over to Blue Cloak-- You think that's $$ed up? You haven't spent enough time with Shion. The way she drools over KOS-MOS...
Blue Cloak: Yeah, she's your girl, eh?
Red Cloak: Yes, I suppose she is. Shion has always been there for me.
Blue Cloak: --grins-- I was talking about KOS-MOS.
Tony: SO true.
Red Cloak: Ah shut up.

I'm not dead yet!

--A voice from seemingly nowhere triggers some sort of chain reaction within the pieces of the broken Professor. Each discarded piece of the robot all fly together and reshape into the Professor's original form.--

Professor: Hyper-love-uber-match connection COMPLETE!
Assistant Scott: Professor! --goes up and hugs the Professor-

Part 48

Professor: Haha! Do you think a little thing like being cut in two can stop ME!
Tony: This is pretty $$ed up here.
Blue Cloak: Hmm. Seems he's immortal.
Red Cloak: Heaven help us.
Black Cloak: I wouldn't count on it.
MOMO: HELLOOOOOO! Innoccent little girl strapped into a giantic robot here! PAY ATTENTION TO ME!
Wilhelm: ...Right. You two, ready the robot.
Assistant Scott: But I'm not done hugging!
Wilhelm: Do it NOW.
Assistant Scott: I-I'm on it!

Tony: Hey, Black Cloak...where's the power I was promised?
Black Cloak: I have given a great deal of power already.
Tony: Yeah, but it's not the power I want...
Wilhelm: Since you are a member of our little team now, perhaps we can be of some assistance...what exactly do you want?
Tony: I want Shion!
Blue Cloak: Oh, NOW you did it...
Red Cloak: $$ no! --rushes over to Tony-- She belongs to ME!
Tony: Eh? Who are you, some old boyfriend?
Red Cloak: You could say that.
Blue Cloak: Actually, that's EXACTLY what he is.
Tony: Well $$ you, I'm taking Shion!
Red Cloak: Over my dead body!
Tony: Wait, aren't you already dead?
Red Cloak: Yes...well...over my defeat, which would not exactly result in death!
Blue Cloak: Now THAT just sounds lame...
Red Cloak: Shut up!
Tony: --sighs-- Well, I could always steal MOMO away from Jr...
MOMO: EWWWWWW!

--Meanwhile...--

Hammer: We're almost at Vector!
Jr: Good stuff. Ziggy, do you remember the plan?
Ziggy: --from another room-- I am a bit confused...
Jr: --rolls his eyes-- Tell me about it.
Ziggy: What do I do with the French maid's outfit?
Jr: The wha--

--Ziggy comes walking onto the bridge wearing a French maid's outfit, complete with garter belt.--

Jr: GAH! I MUST BURN MY EYES! --tries to shield his eyes from the horror-
Admiral Matthews: Ziggy! Don't ya gots any dignities!
KOS-MOS: Hmm. That garter belt DOES look good...I wonder if I should add that back into my wardrobe.
Albedo: Mwhaha! Aw, how cute!
chaos: $#$# it, he looks better in it then I do! Say, Ziggy, that's the wrong outfit. it's the blue box, not the brown one.
Ziggy: Very well. I will change immediatly. --quickly undresses-
Jr: AUGH! I WILL TEAR MY OWN EYEBALLS OUT FROM THEIR SOCKETS! --runs off-
Albedo: I think I'll go join you. --runs off in the same direction as Jr-
Admiral Matthews: --turns away-- Ya MORON! Put some clothes on!
KOS-MOS: --looks at Ziggy for a moment, then looks at chaos-- Interesting. Yours is still bigger.
chaos: --grins-- Well, I'm not really human, remember?
Shion: Oh my!
Allen: Erk! --shields Shion's eyes-
Ziggy: ...Hmm. I seem to be naked. I should go clothe myself. --walks off-
chaos: --sighs-- If this is the best plan we could come up with, we're doomed...

Part 49

Shion: Vector Industrial Complex. A huge city, floating in the darkness of space...
Jr: Shhh!

--Ziggy walks up to one of the guards standing in front of Vector Industries's office building. Ziggy is wearing some type of uniform.--

Ziggy: Space Pizza delivery for Mr. Wilhelm.
Guard: Wilhelm, eh? Well, let me see that pizza...what in the WORLD!
Ziggy: What, you don't like it?
Guard: Anchovies and mushrooms! UGH!
Ziggy: And sardines, and peanut butter, and the honey flies of the planet Alpha Centurai Seven. Mr. Wilhelm has very particular tastes.
Guard: Just...just go! Get it away from me!

--Using the same ruse, Ziggy makes it all the way up to Wilhelm's floor to discover he's not in his office.--

Ziggy: But, I have this pizza for Mr. Wilhelm...nice and hot.
Secretary: Sorry, but Master Wilhelm is not in his office. It is a shame, too...I wanted to play with him!
Ziggy: Hmm. Has anyone ever told you that you bear a striking resemblence to KOS-MOS?
Secretary: --brushes back a strand of her long, blue hair-- Kozmos? Who's that?
Ziggy: --walks over to the office door-- Hmm. It seems I will have to break the door down.
Secretary: Oh no you don't! --leaps at Ziggy-- V-DRACO!

--After a tough battle, Ziggy finally subdues Wilhelm's secretary, and busts down the door to his office.--

Ziggy: Empty! Wait...what is this? --examines a large device in the center of the room-
Jr: Ziggy! Shion says that's a prototype point-to-point transporter. You should be able to find out where Wilhelm went!
Ziggy: Hmm. It seems I have voices in my head. I must be going insane. --takes out a gun, and points it to his head-- Well, I have lived a long life, yet I cannot endanger anyone with my insanity.
Jr: No! Ziggy, you IDIOT! We're transmitting from a receiver by your left ear!
Ziggy: --checks his left ear-- I see. Hmm...hmm...wait, I am holding a gun. I must be under attack. --points the gun at random shadows around the room-
Jr: You're not under attack! You're in a room, alone!
Ziggy: Those voices again...what could they mean?
Jr: GET THE $$ing COORDINATES FROM THE $$ing TELEPORTER!
Ziggy: Right. --punches a few keys on the teleporter-- Done.
Jr: Yes, and we have a copy here, too. Good, now get out of there.
Ziggy: When you mean "out of here", voices in my head, do you mean physically or metaphorically?
Jr: ...Physically.
Ziggy: Of course. Now, could you tell me exactly where I am?
Jr: ...You're in Joe's Happy Fun Land. The exit is through that door, and down the elevator, past the guard.
Ziggy: Hmm. The last place I met Bunnie...I must have been rescuing him! I should flee before the Smile Patrol finds me. --dashes to the elevator-

--After a narrow escape, Ziggy rejoins everyone back aboard the Elsa.--

Allen: These coordinates...they can't be...
Nephilim: --appears from out of thin air-- Ah, but they are.
Shion: The center...of the...known universe?
Nephilim: Indeed.
chaos: Nephilim! Where'd you run off to!
Hammer: Yeah, you missed Ziggy getting naked!
Jr: --looks like he is going to throw up-- Ugh, don't remind me...
Nephilim: --genuinely smiles-- Oh, just fufilling a special request...
chaos: --gulps, then whispers to himself-- When Nephilim smiles, that's never good...
Admiral Matthews: Well? What are ya waitin' for, ya MORONS!

Part 50

Hammer: Right! Coordinates set! UMN Connection established! Flanger set to full reverb! Octal output set at 8 percent! Floating Point System intialized with Real value! Retiticulating splines! Adjusting horizontal matrix! System drive at full pow--
Admiral Matthews: Ya MORON! We can READ ya know... --points to a monitor, which was displaying the same status Hammer was announcing-
Hammer: Uhh...well...here we go! --presses a few buttons, and the Elsa gates out-

--Meanwhile...--

Blue Cloak: --walks over to Wilhelm-- I just went to check on our upcoming guests. They should be arriving shortly.
Wilhelm: Excellent. Prepare them a "welcome mat", to make them feel at home.
Blue Cloak: --nods-- But of course. --walks off-
Blue Cloak: --walks back up to Wilhelm-- Just to be sure, you're talking about rallying up the troops to attack them, right?
Wilhelm: Right.
Blue Cloak: OK. --walks off again, then comes back up-- Well, I don't exactly HAVE the troops...
Wilhelm: ...What?
Blue Cloak: You see, I, um, kinda lost them in a poker game.
Wilhelm: ...I see.
Blue Cloak: Don't worry! We still got the mechs!
Wilhelm: Without pilots.
Blue Cloak: Oh, I didn't bet our AGWS pilots. I won THAT hand!
Wilhelm: --sighs-- Why do I even bother...

Hammer: Gate out! Next stop, Evil Secret Headquarters!

--The Elsa II drops out of UMN Column jump to be met with over a thousand AGWS blocking their path to the spacestation.--

Shion: There's so many!
Jr: This doesn't look good...
Albedo: --cackles-- They all surely haven't seen the glory that is Albedo! I shall teach them the meaning of pain...Oh yes! --dashes off, and launches his mech Simeon-
chaos: Look! There he goes!
KOS-MOS: His speed is impossible, at aproximately 467.8721 percent above the recorded maximum. No AGWS can preform that well, even in the future.
Nephilim: Some people are good at some thin--
Admiral Matthews: Oh NO! I'm not falling for that (-& again!
Nephilim: Very well. You five should infilrate the complex now, as it seems even Albedo may not be able to hold off an entire army for long.
Ziggy: I will lead the way. --dashes off-
Jr: --turns to Hammer-- Are you SURE you fixed those broken neural pathways?
Hammer: If by sure you mean without a clue, then yeah. What do I look like, a $$ing brain surgeon?
Jr: --clenches fist and mumbles to himself-- You CAN resist the urge to shoot him...You CAN resist urge to shoot him...You CAN--
chaos: Jr, let's go!
Jr: Yeah, yeah, keep your blouse on! --dashes after chaos-

--Shion, Jr, chaos, KOS-MOS, and Ziggy make their inside the spacestation, defeating all guards they come across, until they reach a dead-end.--

Shion: Oh no! I thought for SURE this was the right way!
chaos: I sense trouble...
Very perceptive, I see!

--Fading into view like they had just stepped out of the shadows, three cloaked men appear before the group.--

Red Cloak: Greetings, everyone! We are the guardians of this place, and of the ideal of Master Wilhelm.
Blue Cloak: Hear, hear!
Shion: Who are you!
Red Cloak: Call me Carpenter!
Blue Cloak: Testament is the name!
Black Cloak: The Seeker. --transmit's his thoughts-
Jr: Those names are stupid! Make up new ones!
Red Cloak: Are they really that bad?
Blue Cloak: Well, I certainly never understood WHY I am called "Testament"...
Red Cloak: You don't understand a lot of things.
Blue Cloak: Ah, shut up!

Part 51

Red Cloak: ...Very well. Call me, Nivek.
Blue Cloak: Oh! Um...Ligriv!
Black Cloak: --stays silent-
Red Cloak: Come on! You know the deal! Say it!
Black Cloak: ...Fharg.
Red Cloak: "Fharg"? THAT's your name?
Blue Cloak: It sounds like something someone says when they die! Fhaaarrgg! Or maybe a cross between a fart and "argh"!
Black Cloak: Hmph. --walks off and disappears-
Red Cloak: Err...wait! Where are you going! $#$# it!
Jr: Looks like it just you two against us!
Red Cloak: Foolish mortals! You will all...perish!
KOS-MOS: --steps in front of the group-- Ziggy and I can handle this situation. Please continue without us.
Shion: Are you sure?
KOS-MOS: --nods-- Affirmative. There is a 89.5 percent chance of our survival.
Blue Cloak: Don't I get a say in this? Since, from my opinion, you're ALL going to DIE!
Jr: OK then! Let's get moving! KOS-MOS, Ziggy...good luck! --dashes ahead, while chaos and Shion reluctantly follow him-

--KOS-MOS engages Red Cloak, while Ziggy engages Blue Cloak. Both fight furiously without any conclusion in sight. Finally, the two cloaked men knock KOS-MOS and Ziggy down to the ground.--

KOS-MOS: --rises to a kneeling position-- Without the full power of the Zohar, both of you must have weakened considerably.
Red Cloak: The same could be said for you two as well.
Blue Cloak: Heh! it's ALL over!
Ziggy: The outcome of this battle was decided even before the battle began...
KOS-MOS: The probability of our defeat has risen by 20.3 percent. However, no matter the odds, we MUST succeed.
Red Cloak: Your enthuasim entices me, KOS-MOS. I have a confession to make...
KOS-MOS: Is this confession one of love? If so, please take a number.
Red Cloak: No, no...well, yes, but not in the way you were talking about. I have a different kind of love...a father's love...
KOS-MOS: What!
Red Cloak: Yes! KOS-MOS! I AM YOUR FATHER! --cackles-
Blue cloak: Dum dum dum duuum de duuum de dum!
Ziggy: Aghast! A cruel fate indeed...
KOS-MOS: Negative. The closet thing I have to a father is Allen Jr, who is not born yet.
Red Cloak: --abruptly stops cackling-- Eh?
KOS-MOS: --rises to her feet-- Yes, I am from the future. Haven't you noticed how different I look?
Red Cloak: I thought those were all modifications...
KOS-MOS: --readies herself into a fighting stance-- So you are my grandfather. --rushes at Red Cloak and punches him HARD in the face-- Unfortunately for you, I was not programmed to respect my elders.

--Meanwhile, Shion, Jr, and chaos reach the inner bowls of the space station to find MOMO inside a humungous robot.--

Jr: MOMO!
MOMO: Jr!
Wilhelm: I am glad you could make it, old friend.
chaos: You!
Wilhelm: But of course.
Jr: --dashes towards the cockpit-- MOMO! Stay there! I'll save you!
MOMO: Wait! Jr, don't!

--As soon as MOMO spoke those words of caution, Jr felt a sharp pain in his back. He looked down to see a sword going right through him. A black-cloaked man slides his blade out of Jr, who falls down to a kneeling position, clutching his wound.--

Jr: $#$#...this is...embarrassing...-falls down to the floor, unconscious-
MOMO: JUNIOR!
Wilhelm: My, my. Who ever could have seen THAT coming?
chaos: $#$# you! --rushes towards Wilhelm, but gets knocked back by an invisable force-
Tony: Mwhaha! Idiot!
chaos: Tony!
Tony: That's right! Already starting to forget about me, huh? Well, I'm sure THIS will change your mind! --punches chaos HARD in the face, sending him flying across the room-

Part 52

--Not too far away, Shion has been trying to heal Jr, yet failing miserably. The black cloaked man walks up to her from behind.--

Black Cloak: I can help save him. --transmit's his thoughts-
Shion: No! I cannot trust you, especially since you're named "Fharg"!
Black Cloak: Names are...not important. If you kill me, you will be able to save your friend.
Shion: What...? Do you WANT to die?
Black Cloak: I seek power. Yours is special. I mearly wish to see your power, before I take it from you.
Shion: --stands up slowly, raises her head, and glares at Black Cloak-- Very well...I will not lose!

--Black Cloak and Shion duel furiously. Black Cloak uses his sword, while Shion uses her MWGS transformed into Lunar Blade.--

Shion: --parries another blow-- These attacks...who taught you these attacks!
Black Cloak: Upon the path of knowledge, one gains wisdom.
Shion: What?
Black Cloak: --parries Shion's attack-- You really should read some more books. You sound...uneducated.
Shion: --swings at Black Cloak, but misses-- Books? This is the 41st century!
Black Cloak: Tomes contain hidden truths. Secrets left buried in the dark, dark ink, filled with wonders even you could not possibly imagine.
Shion: I have seen angels, and I now seem to be the center of the universe for the entirty of the Gnosis. I think I've seen enough!
Black Cloak: The quest for knowledge is never satisfied, for it is this quest that defines us. A quest for knowledge, a quest for power. For within this, I am born.

--With that last statement, Black Cloak slices Shion's MWGS unit in two, leaving her seemingly defenseless.--

Black cloak: A pity it had to come to this. From your sacrifice, I will be one step closer to obtaining my goal.

--Black Cloak takes a sharp chop at Shion. The cloaked man quickly finds his blade trapped by two hands cupped around either side of the blade's width, and with this new leverage, Shion manages to toss the sword down into the seemingly bottomless pit which contained the gigantic robot.--

Black Cloak: Well...it seems we are on equal footing now.
Shion: Not quite...-rushes up to Black Cloak and does several quick judo chops, knocking it back-- I am well-trained in the art of jujit'su!
Black Cloak: --gets up and manages to block each one of Shions next attacks-- Interesting moves. However, they too suffer from lack of proper training. Allow me to show you.

--Black Cloak attacks Shion with some punches and kicks, sending her flying ten feet backwards in pain.--

Shion: Fharg! I will NOT give up! I WILL save Jr!
Black Cloak: ...Don't ever call me that again.

--Meanwhile, Tony holds off chaos's assault on Wilhelm.--

Tony: Mwhaha! Easy come, easy go!
chaos: $#$# it Tony, I don't want to hurt you!
Tony: Too late! You tried to steal Shion away...you DID!
chaos: --whispers to himself-- He's gone nuts...there's only one thing I can do...I must show him his REAL self...
Tony: Mwhahahaha! DIE! --shoots another energy ball at chaos-

--chaos easily dodges the energy ball, and lunges for Tony's face with his head. At first, Tony though chaos was going to try and headbutt him, but the scenario that occured completely threw Tony off balance. Tony almost screamed as chaos KISSED him. chaos held Tony's head with his hands so he couldn't break free right away. When Tony finally did escape from the embrace, he simply stood there with a weird expression on his face.--

Part 53

Tony: Wha...-is in shock-
Wilhelm: My, my, chaos...I knew you were fruity, but this...-whistles-
chaos: Tony. I have to admit, I've had feelings for you since the first day we met. I never came out into the open with them , because I knew that you weren't ready for them. I hope now you will understand how I feel...
Tony: ...Uhh...
chaos: What do you feel? Do you feel like I do?
Tony: I...uhhh...
chaos: Come on! Look deep inside yourself! There is a part of you...a part of you that WANTED this!
Tony: NO! IT AIN'T SO! --backs slowly away from chaos in horror-
chaos: Lies! How can you lie to yourself so? Don't you want to FEEL? Don't you want to be who you are?
Tony: NOOO! I'm...I'm...I'm n-not like that!
chaos: More lies! Look deep inside yourself, Tony...look far...far down into the darkest recesses of your mind...farther then your conscious mind is willing to go...there...yes, there lies your darkest secrets, your darkest desires. It was this darkness that allowed you to be manipulated so. Only by embracing this darkness, will you ever be free.
Wilhelm: I don't like there this is headed. I probably should intervene, yet that would taint my "elitist" image.
Tony: NO! You...you CAN'T know these things...YOU'RE LYING!
chaos: Well then...look for yourself. Open that vault, let out all your demons. Then, you will see why I know what I know...

--Tony closed his eyes and peered deep into his own soul. Farther and farther, unhinging long forgotten memories of pain and sorrow. He found himself in a realm within his own mind, filled with lust, perversion, and desire. A familiar face caught his eye, and he turned...--

chaos: BOO! --telepathic-
Tony: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH--- --runs off screaming at the top of his lungs-

--Wilhelm watches Tony fade into the distance, then turns back to chaos.--

Wilhelm: Hmm. Good show, old friend. I suppose this means we will fight now?
chaos: Of course. I was looking forward to fighting you once again.
Wilhelm: Indeed. --puts himself in some type of weird fighting stance-- Well...engarde!

--Meanwhile, Shion and Black Cloak are locked in moral combat, dueling with a barrage of punches and kicks.--

Black Cloak: You certainly have improved over the years...
Shion: I've been practicing si--wait, how would YOU know that?
Black Cloak: I am always watching, always planning.
Shion: You know, that cryptic (-& is starting to get on my nerves...
Black Cloak: Such foul language. Mother would be displeased.
Shion: Wait...how did you know...
Black Cloak: Enough talk. While I have enjoyed this duel, it is time to end it.

--Black Cloak moves faster then Shion has seen anyone move before, and almost catches her off-guard. At the very last second, a shiny object in the distance distracts her, and she leans slightly out of the way of Black Cloak's intended finishing blow. Given this new position, Shion wraps her hands around Black Cloak's arm, and twists it HARD, causing a very painful-sounding snapping sound. Black Cloak finds himself thrown a bit off balance, as Shion lunges towards him with a final blow of her own. The black cloaked man falls down, defeated, to the floor, and his mask rolls off.--

Shion: What! It...it CAN'T BE!

Part 54

--Shion stares with disbelief at the sight underneath the mask. An older man with black hair, a face all too familiar to Shion.--

Shion: J-J-JIN!
Jin: Yes...it is I, little sister...
Shion: --kneels down next to her big brother-- But...but how? You and Margulis killed each other in a duel to the death!
Jin: There are...things beyond life...beyond death...
Shion: Oh, Jin...
Jin: I don't have much time...now that it is done with me, I shall cease to be within this world...
Shion: "It"?
Jin: The Seeker...Grahf..."it" is not even a full consciousness...just a will, an deal, a memory...floating endlessly through time and space...searching for someone like me...one who would accept it...
Shion: --hugs her big brother-- Oh Jin, HOW could you EVER give into such evil temptations!
Jin: --manages to etch a smile-- It gave me an offer I couldn't refuse...
Shion: What? Ultimate power? Immortality? Reign over the entire universe? What!
Jin: The complete works of Piers Anthony!
Shion: ...Wha?
Jin: Truly---coughs in pain---a mastermind of the generation that came millenia before us...
Shion: Hmm...didn't you already have at least one of his books?
Jin: Correct. However, these are the COMPLETE works!
Shion: I remember reading some of your translations of that ancient text, supposedly of the footnote...didn't he say he was a...pedophile?
Jin: --coughs violently-- Well...they're still a fantastic read. I'd sell my soul for them again, if called upon to do so! --coughs some more-
Shion: --holds Jin's head-- Oh, silly Jin...rest now...I'm sure where you're going, Piers Anthony himself will be waiting there for you.
Jin: --coughs-- You believe it to be so?
Shion: --sighs deeply-- I know it to be so.
Jin: Very well...before I ascend into the abyss beyond, let me leave behind the very gift I promised to you...

--Jin places his hand below Shion's chest. Jin's hand begins to glow, and his body fade away. He manages to utter out "Goodbye, little sister," before fading away completely. Shion's eye rolls down a single tear.--

Shion: Goodbye, dear brother.

--Meanwhile, chaos and Wilhelm are staring each other down.--

chaos: Come on! Fight me!
Wilhelm: 'fraid not, old friend. You must attack me first.
chaos: No! You attack me!
Wilhelm: Hmm. Then we will be locked in an endless stalemate.
chaos: You're SUCH a baby!
Wilhelm: I'm the same height and build as you!
chaos: I meant psychologically, you idiot!
Wilhelm: Why...you're the idiot!
chaos: Oh, nice try...
Wilhelm: Well...you're an audacious troglodyte!
chaos: What, did your mommy teach you those big words?
Wilhelm: Leave the Mother out of this!
chaos: Make me! You whiner!
Wilhelm: Ugh! You were always the troublemaker! I would have acheived all my goals long ago if it wasn't for you!
chaos: Yeah, well I'm also the one that decided to make you into a little fruity boy, too...how do you like THAT!
Wilhelm: WHAT!
chaos: Oh I'm bad, I KNOW it! Hahaha! --laughs viciously-
Wilhelm: That is IT! I've had ENOUGH of your sass!

--Wilhelm leaps at chaos and starts slapping him in the face repeatedly. chaos is thrown off balance by this unconvential way of fighting, and actually fails to evade the first few blows. When chaos finally regains his senses, he summons his strength, and hit's Wilhelm HARD in the solar plexor, causing him to double over in pain.--

Part 55

Wilhelm: You...you haven't won yet! --coughs up blood-
chaos: Down with ONE punch? Man, you're SUCH a sissy...
Wilhelm: --wipes off his mouth and rises to his feet-- I will not admit defeat just yet...my dream SHALL be realized! --his fists start glowing rapidly as he rushes towards chaos for another attack-

--Meanwhile, Ziggy and KOS-MOS have been viciously battling with Blue Cloak and Red Cloak, respectively.--

Red Cloak: You'll never win...I know you inside and out!
KOS-MOS: Negative. You are already losing.

Ziggy: The outcome of this battle was decided even before the battle began... --blocks an attack from Blue Cloak-
Blue Cloak: Stop SAYING that! You've said it, what, 20 times already! --takes another swipe at Ziggy-
Ziggy: You only cry out because you find yourself no match for my smelly powers! -blocks it, and counters-
Blue Cloak: What the are you talking about! --blocks the counter, and counters with a punch of his own-
Ziggy: --takes a BIG whiff-- Do you smell that? It is the smell of victory! --takes a BIG swing, hitting Blue Cloak HARD-
Blue Cloak: WHAT THE ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! --stands up, and punches Ziggy HARD back-
Ziggy: --falls down to a kneeling position-- Your powers are oderless. Therefore, you will lose... --jumps up and tackles Blue Cloak-
Blue Cloak: --kicks Ziggy off of him-- Stop talking about "smelly powers"!
Ziggy: --stands up-- Very well.
Blue Cloak: Finally!
Ziggy: ...My name is Zigguart 8. You killed my father. Prepare to DIE! --lunges at Blue Cloak-
Blue Cloak: WHAT THE ARE Y--- --gets tackled again by Ziggy-

--Elsewhere, MOMO has been bawling her eyes out over her loss of Jr. Her mind is a inner turmoil of emotion and panic. A mechanical voice breaks through the dischord, speaking directly into MOMO's mind.--

Mechanical Voice: Alert --- your emotions far exceed normal program parameters.
MOMO: What...what do you mean?
Mechanical Voice: Alert --- your emotions far exceed normal program parameters.
MOMO: Yeah, I got THAT part. Why should YOU care?
Mechanical Voice: Negative emotions trigger dangerous reactions within the Omega-1 system.
MOMO: Dangerous?
Mechanical Voice: Reactions usually include destruction of planets, galaxies, the universe.
MOMO: Wait...how could you know all of this?
Mechanical Voice: I am the interface for the Disk Based Operating System.
MOMO: You are...D.A.O.S.?
Mechanical Voice: I am the interface for D.A.O.S. You are the D.I.S.K..
MOMO: I'm not a disk! I'm a Realian!
Mechanical Voice: You are the Divine Integral System Kernal.
MOMO: I'm not some $#$# Divine Integral System ANYTHING!
Mechanical Voice: The D.I.S.K. is the core part of the complete D.A.O.S. system. It provides a connection to God, or it's reasonable facimile.
MOMO: How the $$ do you think I'm going to talk to God!
Mechanical Voice: Knowledge of how to preform such actions are irrelevant. D.A.O.S. will facilitate all transactions from the D.I.S.K..
MOMO: But...I feel so sad...what will all this anger accomplish?
Mechanical Voice: Anger, sadness, and other negative emotions translate into destructive power. The emotion is given to the system, the more destruction shall ensue.
MOMO: Jr...Jr is gone...
Mechanical Voice: I have detected an increasing rage directed towards the universe. Do you wish to utilitize this emotion for any destructive purpose?
MOMO: I...I don't...really care...anymore...
Mechanical Voice: Order obtained. Translation: Annihiliate all known life. Computing first choice of action...computation complete. Scenario --- Vector Industrial Complex.

Part 56

--Shion rushes over to the aid of Jr. Her hands feel warm and soft, and glow with an unearthly green aura. She places her hands down on Jr and concentrates with all of her might. To her amazed surprise, the gaping hole in Jr shrinks rapidly as the green energy is transfered between them. With the wound gone, Jr wakes up with a start. Shion falls down in a slump, almost collapsing under the stress.--

Jr: --crawls over to Shion-- Shion...where's...MOMO?
Shion: --tries to catch her breath-- You are very weak, now. Please, take it easy...
Jr: --with tremendous effort, manages to rise to his feet-- NO! I...MUST save MOMO!

--The Realian maintence workers at the very top of the gigantic Omega-1 were dutifuly fixing very small stratches and cleaning off the outer surface, when one of them noticed the humungous left eye of the robot staring at them. She called out to her other fellow workers, who all proceeded to stare back at the eye with rising terror. Much to their dismay, the other eye opened shortly thereafter, allowing the pair of optical receptors to glare menacingly at the hapless workers. Both eyes stared to glow rapidly, blinding the workers. The beam of destructive energy that sooned followed ended their little lives, and caused all of the heated battles down below to instantly stop.--

Wilhelm: No...it...it cannot be!
chaos: What? What can't be? WHAT!

--The enormous robot broke free from the cables that bound it by only moving it's massive arms slightly, and with a deafening blast of propulsion, ascended into the open space above via a special air lock designed especially for it's huge body.--

Jr: --reaches up as if to try and touch the giant robot as it flies away-- MOMO!

Wilhelm: Wait! D.A.O.S! Come back! I command you!
chaos: DAOS! You got to be kidding me!
Wilhelm: Well...I couldn't let go of ALL my toys...
chaos: You bastard! Because of you, this universe will END!
Wilhelm: No! I revived D.A.O.S. so we could all live in peace! It will bring health and long life to the universe!
chaos: For some reason, I don't think so.
Wilhelm: I will PROVE it to you! Main monitor, turn on!

--A huge holographic monitor appears with an image of a half-naked KOS-MOS on it, and various icons scattered around.--

chaos: Uh...hey!
Wilhelm: Oops! I must have set that as my desktop image by mistake...Sorry, old friend.
chaos: Well you'd better get rid of it before KOS-MOS sees it!
Wilhelm: Right. --a few clicks and the image disappears-
What's all the ruckus!

--Red Cloak, Blue Cloak, KOS-MOS, and Ziggy all come rushing out and join chaos and Wilhelm. Shion and Jr both sit nearby, catching their breath after their ordeals. Everyone turns to watch the monitor, where the giant D.A.O.S. robot makes it way towards it's target.--

chaos: That's Vector Industrial Park! We have to warn those people!
Wilhelm: Quiet! All will be well.
chaos: Says you!
Wilhelm: Yes, says me!
Red Cloak: Wait...what is...that thing doing there?
Wilhelm: Oh...oh no...
Blue Cloak: Whoa! It looks like a giant--

Part 57

Manager: Johnson!
Johnson: Y-yes sir!

--The office workers at Vector Industries work long into the night, unsuspecting of the terror looming overhead.--

Manager: Where are those reports! I wanted them on my desk an hour ago!
Johnson: I-I'll have them ready right away, sir!
Manager: You do that! --looks out the window-- Holy #$#$! That giant robot has a huge--

Cart Vendor: Weiner! Get your red-hot weiner! Mustard, ketchup, relish, you name it, we got it! Come and get it!

--Meanwhile, there is a festival going on at Vector Industrial Park! Everyone is enjoying themselves, laughing and playing, completely oblivious to their upcoming visitor.--

Random Stranger: I'll take one!
Cart Vendor: Here ya go!
Random Stranger: --looks up into the sky-- Wha..? Is that a gigantic--
Rival Cart Vendor: Sausage! Fresh from the Sausage Mines of Oppelon Six! Get'em while they're fresh! Get 'em while they're hot!
Cart Vendor: Trying to take MY buisness, eh? Well, I'll show YOU! --tackles the Rival Cart Vendor-
Random Stranger: Please sirs, don't fight!

--In another part of the festival, two sisters chat over the happenings of their day together.--

Crissy: Oh Missy, it was wonderful today, wasn't it?
Missy: It sure was, Crissy! But, I wish Lissy was here...
Crissy: --looks above-- Hey! That machine has a giant--
Missy: No dear sister! You musn't say such words!
Crissy: What, that the robot has a humungous--
Lissy: Handlebar!
Crissy & Missy: Dear sister Lissy!
Lissy: --walks over to the her sisters with a bike in one hand, which only has one handlebar-- My bike broke! I am SO sorry I am late!
Missy: Fear not, dear sister Lissy! At last, the three Prissy sisters are together!
Crissy: Group hug!
Lissy: --looks up-- Say, doesn't that look like it has a--

Carny Worker: Tallywacker! Wack the target to tally up some points! Win fabulous prizes!

--Elsewhere, prizes galore are being won at the various booths.--

Another Random Stranger: I'll try it!
Carny Worker: --gives him a whip-- There you go!
Another Random Stranger: --tries to hit to the target-- Darn! Almost got it!
Carny Worker: Hey! Look up there! $#$#, isn't that a--

Blue Cloak: it's getting ready to fire!

--The group watches in horror as the oddly mounted cannon on the gigantic robot prepares to fire.--

Wilhelm: Someone will pay for this...
chaos: It...it FELL OFF!
Red Cloak: Now THAT has GOT to hurt...
Wilhelm: --glances behind him-- I think I know who placed that there in the first place...
Professor: --whistles an aimless tune as he tries to sneak away-
Assistant Scott: Professor, Professor, Professor...-sighs and shakes his head-

Part 58

D.A.O.S.: Error. Main cannon has detached. Testing secondary weapon system on nearby celestial body.

--The gigantic robot stretches out it's arm and points it's palm towards a nearby moon orbiting the massive Vector Industrial Complex. The hand glows with a vicious light as raw energy crackles around an open hole in the palm. A brilliant flash momentarily surrounds the group, as they watch a huge beam of light sever the relatively large moon in two. Tremendous shockwaves rip the moon apart, causing debris to assault the nearby Vector Industrial Complex.--

chaos: We have to do something about this...NOW!
Wilhelm: This...this can be remedied...a few lives will just have to be lost...
chaos: --grabs Wilhelm by the collar-- For the boss's sake, man! These are your OWN people we're talking about!
Jr: --limps up to the holographic screen and touches it gently-- MOMO...
Wilhelm: The lives of the few, to save the many!
chaos: You don't have the RIGHT! None of us do!
Albedo: Mwhahahaha, isn't it delicious!

--chaos and Wilhelm stop their bickering to turn and watch the screen like everyone else. The vicious grin of Albedo greeted them.--

chaos: Albedo! I thought you were clearing up the soldiers outside!
Albedo: Well, when the umpty-million gnosis came, I knew it was time to split! I decided to follow that huge robot, and here I am, sitting right beside ma belle peche!
Red Cloak: He's...He's right! Gnosis have surrounded the space station!
Jr: Albedo...stay away from MOMO...
Albedo: --cackles-- That's the FUN part! I don't need to DO anything! I can just sit here, and watch the grand machina of my design play out!
Wilhelm: Your design? I think not...I was the one that translated the plans for both Omega-1 and D.A.O.S.
Albedo: Ah yes...yet, those plans were quite...dull. I spiced them up a bit, leaving a piece of myself inside MOMO. U-DO planned this ALL. I just do what the voices in my head tell me to do! --cackles some more-
chaos: So this was all a trick! U-DO hasn't been affected at all!
Albedo: Quite the opposite. It is TRUE I can no longer hear the beautiful songs of U-DO...yet, I also have a pretty good memory!
chaos: What can U-DO hope to accomplish by destroying the universe!
Albedo: Simple! The U-DO entrusted it's core unto me...when the universe is destroyed, my special makeup will cause me to EXPLODE with the entire consciousness of U-DO! --cackles widly-- It...will...be...GLORIOUS!

--The screen cuts back to D.A.O.S., slowly powering up for it's next attack. The group mulls over their remaining options.--

chaos: $#$# that U-DO!
Wilhelm: Indeed, I never thought the nether consciousness would become so troublesome...
Shion: What are both of you talking about?
Red Cloak: There's no time! The gnosis are about to tear this space station APART!
Admiral Matthews: --appears on the screen-- HELLOOO! EVERY GNOSIS IN THE KNOWN UNIVERSE IS BACK!
KOS-MOS: I suggest a swift retreat, or we will have less then 0.000001 percent chance of survival.
Assistant Scott: Wait for me! Professor, come on!

--Everyone starts running for the Elsa II except for Jr, who is too caught up in pining for MOMO to notice the growing danger around him. Against his better judgement, chaos runs back and grabs Jr before continuing.--

Admiral Matthews: About time you MORONS showed up!
Wilhelm: I take offense to that remark.
Admiral Matthews: Ya wanna live, ya take it in the keister like everyone else!
chaos: Enough talk. Let's MOVE!
Hammer: Umm, the gnosis are blocking the UMN Column...
chaos: --turns to Nephilim and communicates telepathically-- Just this once?
Nephilim: Let's get the $$ out of here.
