Hey guys! WE couldn't update late due to US starting school this chapter features my and my older brother's OCs, Philip and Andrew from White Nova. WE do not own AW, or any characters besides Philip and Andrew. It's a start.

(A/N: This takes place pre-White Nova, so there's no war, and Maelstrom is not a WN CO.)

Chapter 17

Philip and Andrew in: Weapons Woe

Philip and Andrew were waiting in the briefing room, watching TV. "Yo, Andrew." Philip said.

"What is it?" Andrew mumbled.

"What in God's name are you making the boys in the lab work on?" Philip asked.

"A new power source that can power our ultimate new unit." Andrew answered.

"You mean…" Philip began.

"Yep." Andrew finished "And once it's done, it'll be better than the Piperunner2, the Grenadiers, the Seeker Jet, the…" Andrew bragged. (A/N: These units and more will appear in White Nova.)

"I get it! I get it!" Philip interrupted. "Each time you manage to outdo yourself. How's the project going so far?"

"Well, it's taking a longer time to prepare than it was supposed to, but I have a good feeling…" Andrew started, and then…

KA-BOOOM!

Smoke started coming through the door. Andrew merely sighed and yelled "What happened this time?"

One of the White Nova scientists yelled "The power source exploded…again."

"Just start over again." Andrew ordered.

"Again?" Philip asked.

"The whole process of preparing the source should only take a few hours." Andrew explained. "However, the process must go absolutely flawlessly, or…well, you can see the results."

"How does the process work anyway?" Philip said.

"You remember the Campaign in Omega Land, when Black Hole used the Black Crystal to suck out energy." Andrew began. "Well, I've found a way to reverse the process, and by connecting the crystal pieces to an extremely high voltage wire…"

"Whoawhoawhoa! Back up for a minute, bro. High voltage? Is that safe?" Philip blurted out.

"Hell no." Andrew responded. "Why do you think I'm not down there? Luckily, there haven't been any deaths."

KA-BOOOM!

There was a loud clang, and they saw there was a dent in the door shaped like a White Nova scientist.

"Ooh, that's GOTTA hurt." Philip and Andrew said.

"I'm ok…" a dizzy voice said, as there was a thud, followed by a bunch of other thuds.

"Must've fallen down the stairs." Andrew sighed, and said on the intercom "Take 5, everyone." There was a lot of cheering, and then it got quiet. "Now where was I? Oh yeah! Hooking the reversed crystal to the wires, the crystal will generate a large energy source. The problem is, the crystal is VERY fragile. Nothing and I mean NOTHING can touch it. Not hands, not bugs, not spit, not even your own breath. If the crystal brakes, the wires have no place to send the electricity, and then…"

KA-BOOOM!

"I'm still ok…" the same voice said.

"The unit itself is ready, now the power source needs to be completed." Andrew said.

"Why not use regular fuel?" Philip asked.

Andrew pulled out a pen and pencil and wrote something down. "Here's the price to just fuel it for a day." Andrew said, passing the note to Philip.

"Dear God that better be an international phone number." Philip gasped. "No wonder you're trying this idea."

"With the unit done, once the power source is ready, we can be ready for anything." Andrew said.

KA-BOOOM!

"But at this rate, it won't be ready for a looooooooong time…" Andrew said.

That's it. Sorry it wasn't so funny, but it was more of a spoiler chapter for my other fic. Next chapter brings back the funny. R&R, no flames.
