Proto Merkaba: Albedo and Jr.'s Fight

"Muhahaha, I'd love to see you try Rubedo!", as Albedo laughed, Jr. came racing towards him, the Red Dragon coming loose. Jr. knocked Albedo into the wall using the force from the Red Dragon, Albedo stood up, starting his insane laughter, "Ha, is that all you got Rubedo. "Tsk tsk, I expected so much more from the "Almighty and Powerful, Red Dragon." Jr. ran straight to Albedo, getting ready for another full scale attack, when Albedo met him half way and grabbed him by the throat. "Hahaha, how could you possibley think that using the same attack pattern would work? Oh, Rubedo, you are as foolish as ever."

"Albedo, do you want to fight or talk? 'Cause really, I don't have the time to hear you whining about how 'disappointing I am because I found love.'" Albedo smirked, "The rag doll? How cute, a little fake boy and a little fake girl, with what they think is love, until the little fake boy's brother, murders him." Jr. wasted no time to listen to him, he charged at him once more, this time taking on a different side. He hit albedo straight in the chest, Jr. breathed a little heavier now. "Tell me where Momo is, NOW!" Albedo just laughed and pulled Jr.'s hand out of him and threw him into the wall, near the thrown the Albedo had held Momo.

Meanwhile: Proto Merkaba's Cell:

Momo went to the door, trying to break it open. "Mystic Powers, Grant me a miricale!" The door slightly dented, but if she were to use that tatic, she would surely run out of ether before she even put a good dent in it. "Oh, this is hopeless!" Momo ran at started hitting her fists upon it, tears rolling down her cheeks, "OPEN! You stupid door!" Momo turned, looking for something, anything that might help in, at least attempting, doing some damage to it, 'Let's see...a chair? Maybe, a bed rail? I wonder if I could even get that off...' Momo quickly walked to the rail, and successfully removed it, "Alright, here we go, Ether power, grant me a miracle!" She smashed it into the door, just as she would with her wand, and busted it loose. "Yeah!", Momo yelled excitedly.

She ran down the halls, looking for what might be the exit to her freedom, instead of her doom. "Huh?" Momo listened carefully, 'Who's screaming? It sounds so familiar...'

"Albedo, when I'm through with you, you're going to wish you NEVER took her!" Momo ran in to see Jr. fighting Albedo, with a lot of strength. 'Jr.!' Momo's thoughts screamed his name. Jr. pulled out his guns, not missing any shots. "Albedo, you damn bastard, this will be the last time I'll EVER have to fight you, and I'm making sure of it this time!" Jr.'s shooting continued, loud and on target. Albedo fell back, not moving an inch. "Jr.!" Momo came running towards Jr., "Momo! Where were you? Are you ok??" Momo hugged him tightly as he was hugging her. "I'm ok, are you?", Jr. smiled "Yeah. Come on, let's get out of here, we need to find the others."

Momo's smile grew as they ran down the halls, "The others are here too?" Jr. nodded, holding her hand as he ran in front. "Everyone came as soon as we found out you were missing!" Momo blushed a little. "Are they ok?" "Yeah, they just got trapped a few more feet down here.."

They ran as fast as they could, finally finding the right hall. Shion, Chaos, and the others stood, making plans on how to escape after finding them. "Jr.! Momo!" The group ran to meet them, saying things like "Thank goodness you all are ok!" and "We weren't sure of what to do!" and of course "How did you escape?" Jr. stepped up and called Mary and Shelley, "Hey, we found Momo, tell Captain Mathews to get by the dock, we are coming out NOW! And get the Durandle here!" "Thank goodness, 'Lil Masta, y'all had me worried! Alright we're on our way!" "Yeah, we'll talk more as soon as we get on board."

The group reached the docking area, "Get ready y'all!" The platform lowered and everyone raced inside, before anything happened. "Alright, let's move out! Go South, into the hyper space, that way if anyone thinks about following us, they'll have one hell of a time trying!" Mary smiled as she turned to tell the realians the orders. "Glad to see that you are back giving orders unharmed Little Master." Jr. smiled at Shelley, "Thanks, it's good to be back and not dead!" She rolled her eyes as he gave a googy grin.

2 hours later, Inside of the Durandle:

Jr. headed to the lounge area, where Shion, Chaos, and Momo were. "Hey, where's Ziggy and Kos-Mos?" Shion looked up from her book, "Kos-Mos is in the Maintenance chamber, and Ziggy is charging." Chaos sat up, getting ready to leave, "Hey, Shion, I think Captain Mathews needs help repairing a circuit breaker." Shion sighed, "I thought he payed attention the last time we fixed it?" Chaos shrugged and offered a smile. "Oh, alright, let's go." The two left out of the to help Captain Mathews.

Jr. sat beside Momo, "How are you doing?" Momo smiled, "I'm fine. You?" Jr. stretched, "Eh, same as ever after a battle.", he said, smirking his famous smile, but suddenly turning serious, "So...what excatly happened?", Momo stared at him for a little while, "If you don't want to talk about it, I understand." Momo shook her head, "No, it's ok. Well I was in the park, because I couldn't sleep, and that's when he got me. Then, he threw me in a cell...and he talked..." Momo's face went a little dark when she mentioned it, "What did he say?" Momo slowly looked down as she told him, "He said, 'how could anyone love a ragged doll like you, you're not real. So why should anyone love you'...things like that really...he would tell me that it would be a waste of time for any of you to even think about saving me..." Jr. nodded, getting anger for what his brother had said, "Well, I'm glad you didn't believe him...right?" Momo's face darkened more,

"Well, I am just a rag doll. And technically, I no longer have any more importance to any further missions...So I just thou-" Jr. interupted her before she could finish, "Momo! How could you even think like that!? We all care about you, so what if you don't have the Y-data anymore, you're our friend! You help us out all the time, so how could you think you have no importance?" Momo shrugged slightly, "I-I-I don't know..I'm sorry..." Jr. shook his head, softening his tone some "Momo, there's no reason for you to be sorry, you didn't do anything...I just don't want you to think like that...you're the positive one remember? That's what I rely on most of the time, your smiles, laughs, and reassurance...it makes me think everything is going to be ok." Jr. slowly took her hand, "And you know what? Forget everything Albedo said...I love you." Momo smiled and hugged him, "I love you, too, Jr."

Jr. gently kissed her cheek, and whispered to her, "I promise, I will never let anything bad happen to you, ever again..." Momo smiled at his words, "I know...thank you so much Jr." They both knew the future was now brighter, then either thought could be possible...

Back at Proto Merkaba:

"Muhahahaha, does he really think a few puncter wounds would really stop me?" Albedo asked the Kirshwasser he had beside him. "Does he honestly think this is over? Muahahah...until next time...Ma Peche..."
