Chapter 29

They clashed for about an hour.

Luna learned her son was quite strong, stronger than her, but still she could keep up and go toe to toe with him. What impressed her most was the fact that he also has the demonic dragon like limbs that come off his body like her! They appeared far more alien though, and yet he had perfect control over them! The match ended with them both agreeing to call it a draw, but Garos was very impressed with his mother. "Father was right, you are strong!" he decreed.

"Thank you, I learned a lot from him too!" she explained. "So, what do you and your sister like to do?"

"We spar a lot, Meteora is one of the few who can keep up with me." He explained. "But we help father as well when we go to new planets. We help him with his work and see the universe… it's really big mom!" he explained.

As they wondered out of the room, Luna paused as she saw four little serpents at the door. Garos froze. "What are you doing here! How did you get on the ship!?" he demanded of them.

The four shied away, but Luna was in love. "You're adorable!" she decreed and picked the four up in her arms. "I haven't been able to do this in ages!"

"Mother, they shouldn't be here, they snuck aboard!" Garos protested. "We need to inform father at once."

"I agree, but I think they are hungry, they feel a little thin to me."

Garos nodded in agreement. "I'll inform father if you wish to get them something to eat,"

She agreed. "Let's me go back home and I'll get them fed there,"

With the arrangement made, Luna returned to earth with the four little serpents. She placed them on the ground but realized who they resembled. "Wow… you really look like Zombieman!" she said to the one with the white grey scales.

"I'm Crypt!" he decreed. "I'm the oldest,"

"By four minutes!"

She looked to the two big ones, instantly she knew that look. "You look like my uncles!" she said.

Then the last one, the shiest out of them all. "Wait… why do you look like Metal Bat?" she wondered.

"Whose Metal Bat?" he whispered.

Luna however couldn't contain her smile. "What's this?!"

The four jumped to the strong voice and hid behind Luna. Yet when they peered up and saw Snek for the first time, they settled. "Elder? You came for us?" Crypt asked.

"Again with that, Luna… explanation!" Snek demanded.

She laughed and picked the four off the ground. "They snuck aboard the ship, they came here and now they are hungry." She explained.

Snek sighed aloud.

He peered down at the four, but froze as to who they looked like. "Damn, they really did clone them…" he muttered. He gave a disgruntled sigh once more. "Come here, let's get you four fed." He said and took them from Luna.

They were surprised, but smiled. "We're going to eat?!" asked Crypt.

"Yes, I'll get you kids fed. Luna… don't tell anyone yet just in case…" he said.

She nodded as Snek slithered off with the four.

Meanwhile…

"The plan is working so far, the clone is about 36% complete…"

Alley sat in a meeting with Gene, Bad and Prodigy. For some reason the alien Prodigy was more curious to Bad in his current state and kept poking him oddly. "Huh, weird cheap ass metal… You know I can make you even better than this,"

"Not interest…" Bad said in a low, monotone voice. "Gene, is there any way to speed this up? I am going insane being this way. I haven't even seen Zenko in ages, I don't think she wants to be around me…"

Alley held her tongue, after her brother told her just a few hours ago that Zenko was pregnant. "She is going through a lot right now Bad, it's not because of what you are… she's just really worried for you." She explained gently.

He merely nodded his head. "I want to get out of this thing… I want to go back to the way things were… I just… I just want things normal again…"

He was trying so hard to emote, but couldn't. Instead, he sighed and left the room. Gene appeared a little flustered himself. "I wish I could rush the process but you know what happens…" he explained aloud.

"Mistakes are made, and nothing can be fixed. Don't worry about it Gene, keep going at your own pace," Alley insisted.

Prodigy however appeared to be board with it all. "Is there something interesting for me to do around here? Look, I feel like my talent is wasted just sitting around and doing nothing as you get a family reunion…"

Alley sighed aloud. "Do whatever the hell you want then," she muttered. "I got too much to deal with as well as the Neo Heroes I have to keep tabs on!"

"Neo Heroes?" he asked curiously. "What are those?"

"New hero organization that turned Bad into what he is, they aren't just doing it to him though either. They have made cybernetic suits and using those as a template to making the humans into cyborgs." Explained Gene.

Suddenly Prodigy had a wicked look in his eyes. "Oh?" he said with a sinister grin. "Let's me see what I can do… any way you can get me a suit?" he asked.

"Funny you should mention that, Suiryu has gone to see his sister now. Perhaps we can get her to give it to us…" she said offhandedly.

"The moment you do, let me know!" he decreed.

As the meeting came to an end, Alley sighed aloud to it all.

She got the family house rebuilt, she also took time for a 'special project' and even got Puri Prisoner to agree to help her… as long as he got to furnish the room.

But there same a smile to her lips at the thought of it all, it was the befitting end for the family's battle against Ubet and Ozul.

Now, she has to focus. First, she is getting Bad back on his feet and human once more. Then, it's time to plan an attack against the Neo heroes!
