With Kylandarian Expansionism, the Plumbers were reduced so greatly that they were forced to work with the Galactic Guardians and other minor Space enforcement agencies, even the legendary Iron Man had no choice but to ally with them, and rumor went around the galaxy that they needed the help of an extraordinary gentleman, and a veteran who was and is known as the legendary, Solid Snake.

Plumber Satellite O-331, 62 Lightyears from Galactic Core Barrier, System Oskiar

Ben was sitting in the chair on the bridge as Max walked in with Gwen, Kevin and some other people including Juniper Lee, Sakura Haruno, The powerpuff girls, Tony Stark in his Iron Man suit and Kim Possible. Ben sat up and faced them, with a scar on his right hand that was probably caused by a bullet scraping his hand.

Max then said "This is it, nobody else would even respond to our calls, we should tell Betty right away."

The group walked into the Commander's Quarters and a 15 year old Atomic Betty rose from her chair and asked "This is all we have, what about DeGill's promised assistance?"

Max looked away before saying "As a result of the Valkyrian attack on Procyon, the Kylandarians hastened their defences, and as a result located his asteroid base, all hands were lost including his assistance, I'm sorry but Sparky and the robot who's ID keeps escaping me were also lost." Betty looks up and then says to herself "Why do I remain alive and all my friends die around me." Max then says "We need not numbers now but skilled people if we are to assassinate the Emperor's prized IKST General, Selvaria Bles, we need Earth's Solid Snake and dare I say it, we should head to Africa to locate Allan Quatermain, and then to Japan were Snake was supposed to have been seen last month."

Gwen sighed and then said "Africa huh, better pack for a desert trip." Max then said "Actually, pack for a trip to the Jungle, we're heading to Congo, rumor has it that there was a sighting there about six weeks ago, it's our best bet."

Gallia, Tortana, Telemetros system, six minutes later.

Selvaria stared out the window of the Gallian Militia Headquarters, she was dressed in an IKST Uniform, not that different from her old East Europan Imperial Alliance uniform save for lack of gold shoulder honorifics which were replaced by Red Calvary honorifics with a star on each signifying the rank of Brigadier General, with a gold stripe that was like the roman numeral for 5 but without the line on the bottom, and she wore a cap similar to Alexei Stukov's save for the Admiral Mark which is replaced by a single star.

Alicia walks up to her and says "Daily fortifications report Ma'am." Selvaria notices the clipboard Alicia is holding out and takes it, she reads the clipboard and sighs, she hands it back and says "Good, production is up faster then we expected, as a reward I want a bottle of wine for each regiment prepared for when they get relieved, it would also be good for us to organize a dinner at Randgritz, send the request to Cordelia, and be sure to make it sound polite, they worked hard and deserve a good meal for once, the shipment carrying off-world food supplies was delayed because of pirates last week and won't be here for another month." Alicia nods and then salutes saying "Yes Ma'am." before walking off.

Selvaria continues to stare out the window and then says to herself "The Emperor is on his homeplanet today, I wonder what is happening."

Earth, Island Residence, 2:15, last day of 2nd week of summer, Saturday.

Ray groans as Haruhi drags him and the SOS Brigade around the jungle looking for mysteries and aliens and anything related to them, Kyon then says "Haruhi if aliens were here we would have found them, but right now they just aren't here." Ray laughs and says "Yeah, I'm starting to wonder if we're looking in the right place, all the boundless energy, you would pass off as an alien any day." Haruhi groans and grips her fist but then relaxes it, either she is smart and won't try to punch someone with far more combat experience or she just doesn't want to, in any event they keep walking around for an hour before getting lost and everyone stares at Ray who then says "What, all right fine, I'll bail us out of this mess."

Ray makes 10 Kage Bunshin and they fan off in all directions, within an hour the SOS brigade is back to the beach thanks to Ray's directions that came five minutes after, Koizumi is watching him with an intent to kill, waiting for Ray to start talking about Haruhi's powers, Nagato is doing the same, but is on his oposite site, suddenly it's just Ray and Haruhi walking on the beach, the sky is a dark blue with no clouds and the water is still without waves, the trees stop moving and there is no wind but there is air, they are inside closed space.

Haruhi is frightened and then says "I had a dream about this place once..." Ray then says "I know, closed space, I can make it at will, it's time I told you everything about me."

Haruhi sat down as Ray explained the situation in the Galaxy and about his powers, Ray finished talking and Haruhi's eyes were wide with exitement, it's as if all depression was suddenly erased from the universe and Haruhi jumped at him yelling "You're an alien and an esper and a time traveler, what more could I want!", however Ray teleports out of her death hug and is on the beach ten feet to her right, and then says "Easy now Haruhi, don't start rushing at me just because of my powers, there is something I have to tell you first before you start making any decisions, like about you're outburst, that wasn't you." Haruhi groans and then says "How do you know." Ray explains the cost of total psionics and Haruhi listens eagerly, then says with a confused tone "This relates to me how?" Ray's cheerfulness is gone, and he talks like he is not holding true to his charade he plays on Earth, he says quickly and clearly with an almost robotic tone, he says "Haruhi, you are a total psionic, you're becoming more insane due to this cost of our power, I'm asking you once, and only once, would you like to rule this planet as Empress." Haruhi's eyes are wide in both fear and antipication, but Ray's normal tone comes back and he says "No, I dont mean that, I mean ruling this planet as an Imperialistic Republic, like I run my Empire, you of coarse will answer to my empire but you will be able to run you're nation as you see fit, as long as a few laws are respected such as the regards of human rights and some reigons will be considered Kylandarian for security purposes, we are at war after all." Haruhi then puts her finger to her chin and sits down, thinking.

After five minutes she gets up and says "Yes, bu-" with that word she yells in pain as she rolls on the ground shrieking, Ray sighs and says "It's the routine, knowledge of you're abilities and everything is coming to you at once, it'll hurt for a while but it'll be gone, it will last two minutes, i'll ease the pain" Ray puts his hand on Haruhi's head and she stops screaming, but the knowledge continues to pour into her mind, she is made aware of her powers and about the laws of physics, about the history of total psionics, about her ancestry, and about the Valkyria, and their homeworld of Valkyur." after two minutes she gets up and says "I understand everything now." a green grid outlines her for a second and then disapears, her face is serious and she says "I'll rule this planet as Empress in you're stead, but know that I have feelings for you, I want to know, do you return those feelings?" Ray sighs and says "No, I have never been interested in you, only placed a show about this, sorry but, there is always Itsuki, although he may be a problem, do not let anyone know that I have done this, or I will have to kill Koizumi and Nagato, understand." Haruhi then says "And what of Kyon and Mikuru?" Ray then says "Mikuru is from the future and is Kyon's Sister, he doesn't know it yet, and Kyon serves me, he was originally the son of a shinobi clan on Procyon 8 but I found him and moved him here under a family I know well, however Nagato is a digital interfrace serving the IDTE, something you created, as well as Koizumi is a surgical esper, used to control you're closed space reigons, you're doing, subconsiously, do not change anything, I will let you know about their powers, but for now you will act as you have before." with that said the closed space collapses and they are still walking towards the mansion, about 1 second passed in the real world and nobody does anything out of ordinary, although Haruhi seems more depressed now.
