22: The Eclipse Reactor

Later that day…

Ryan and Kimiko groaned as they walked out of the now sparking clean halls.

"There you go…Master Fung…" groaned Ryan as he fell into a chair, "The hall…is clean now…"

Omi looked on the floor, he grinned as he saw his reflection in the floor.

"Wow! Good work Ryan!" said Omi "I have never seen myself look so good on the floor!"

Raimundo rolled his eyes as he looked over at Ryan and Kimiko as they rubbed their sore arms.

"Come, enough small talk" said Raimundo "We need to investigate this email from Jack"

I'm…on it…" groaned Kimiko as she walked towards the dormitory, followed by Raimundo and Master Fung.

"Poor girl…" sighed Ryan as he continued to rub his sore arms, "Her arms aren't built for scrubbing…"

"Well you should of though about that before you decided to go on your dating…" said Omi as he walked off, "You should have been training for your promotion, not doing this "shagging" that everyone is saying you two are doing…"

Ryan lunged at Omi, only to be held back by Clay, which was easy because Ryan was incredibly weak from scrubbing.

"Easy buckaroo" said Clay as he restrained Ryan, "It's Omi, you know what he's like…"

"Let me at him…" grumbled Ryan "I'll kick his butt…Even with the small amount of strength I have left…"

Kimiko spent a few minuets trying to decode the encrypted email while the others stood around her.

"So what did we know when it got here?" said Ryan as he watched Kimiko type on her keyboard.

"By fiddling about with Kimiko's laptop" said Raimundo, he took a step back as Kimiko glared at him for touching her laptop, "I managed to decode a tiny part of the email; it said "Eclipse Reactor""

"Hmm…" thought Dojo "That name does ring a bell, Dashi said something about it"

"What did he say?" said Colza.

"I'm not too sure on the details" said Dojo "But he said that there are two Shen Gong Wu that he thinks can get to it"

"And they are?" said Omi. Dojo shrugged his shoulders as he looked over at Kimiko, she had managed to decode some of the letters, but they still didn't make sense.

"So what exactly is this "Eclipse Reactor"?" said Clay "Sounds like it's some sort of mystical engine?"

"Close enough Clay, from what I've hear, it is a power generator" said Ryan "But it was built and lost billions and billions of years ago so no one has ever seen it, it is currently hidden in some parallel universe for protection from evil"

"Oh! I've done it!" said Kimiko "I've worked out a few of the decoding codes for the email, but it's the best I can do"

"Okay" said Ryan as they all crowded around her laptop, "Let's see what we got…"

"D…r Chase…

…a…int…s…ng proposition…or…;…h…y…u…ar o…the…Eclipse Reactor?…a…e…f immense power…at can g…ntee total world conquest. I…d…e to…re t…t info wi…u, bec…e I…e something that can help you…ea…y…d…u…av…something that can help me…, if…k together…rule…e world!… t…h you,

Jack"

"Hmm…" thought Ryan "It's gone to Chase, they're up to something…"

"This isn't good" said Omi "Jack is no threat, but when he teams up with Chase, it can only mean bad news…"

"Not only that" said Raimundo "Jack knows that if the plan is rubbish, Chase will fry him, his new plan must be good if he is going to give it to Chase…"

"And since when did Jack want to share with his plans with Chase anyway?" said Kimiko "This is just strange"

"Well let's go get some answers…" said Ryan "Let's pay Jack a little visit…"

Later, in a basement / evil lair…

Raimundo charged in, immediately throwing one of Jack's robot stands to the ground.

"Rai, why do you do that?" said Kimiko as she walked past him into the lair, "You trash one of his robots every time we come here"

"Err…I don't know…" said Raimundo "It's sort of become a habit…"

Ryan walked into the centre of the lair, numerous glass bottles were smashed on Jack's desk and papers littered the floors around his filling cabinets as if someone had been franticly searching for something.

"There was a struggle here…" said Ryan as looked around, "Someone had come here looking for something, and I bet Jack didn't want it to be found…"

"But what would come after something Jack had?" said Clay as Ryan walked towards Jack's computer, "I can't see why anyone would want anything he has, all he has is robots and they don't work"

Ryan looked up at the computer screen, a large picture of what looked like the layout of an expansive labyrinth.

"Hello? What's this?" said Kimiko as she stood next to Ryan and looked at the screen, "It looks like blueprints to one of Jack's creations…"

She sat down at the chair and began to type as the others gathered round her.

"Hmm…" thought Kimiko "According to this, this is Jack's creation No. 19588, codenamed: Shadow Ecliptis"

"Shadow Ecliptis?" said Omi "What on dirt's name is that?"

Kimiko did more typing, certain images appeared on the screen and Kimiko gasped as she lent back in the chair and looked at the screen with wide eyes.

"Whoa!" gasped Kimiko "This thing is huge! It is apparently roughly two thirds the size of the moon and weighs over ten jillion tonnes!"

"Jillion?" said Raimundo "What's a jillion?"

"Who cares?" said Kimiko "How the hell is Jack going to build this thing?"

"More importantly" said Ryan "What does it do"

Kimiko did some more typing and another few images came up.

"It doesn't say what this colossal thing is" said Kimiko "Let's see what's on the checklist, maybe which can help…"

She clicked on one of the images and a huge list of items came up.

"Wow…" gasped Raimundo as they looked through the list, "Look at all these hi-tech items that he needs! Where the hell is he going to get them?"

"Nano-bot microprocessors, Particle Accelerators Cables…" said Kimiko as she went through the list, "Neuron Stupefying Lasers, Gravi-boosters…A Tachyon Dynamo Laser Shield?"

"What are all these things?" said Ryan as he saw her eyes go wider. He jaw fell open as she looked at them.

"There is only one place where you can get any of these things…" said Kimiko in a breathless voice, "In America…From NASA…"

"NASA?" gasped Clay "Does that mean this is a…"

"Yep" said Kimiko "This is a fully functioning, self-sustaining, orbital Bernoulli spherical space colony!"

They all looked at Kimiko with clueless faces.

"A space station would have been easier to say" said Ryan.

"Dude!" gasped Raimundo "Jack Spicer is building a space station?"

"But how?" said Omi "If he was, wouldn't of someone have noticed by now?"

"I don't think he hasn't made it yet" said Kimiko as she scrolled to the bottom of the list, "It seems he is still missing on important piece, one that doesn't seem to exist…"

They all lent near the screen at the last item of the list, it was a generator with the capability of powering such a juggernaut.

"Impossible" said Clay "Nothing could power that thing! There isn't enough power in the world!"

Ryan looked to the side; a piece of paper with ancient handwriting was on the desk. He picked it up and looked at.

"Unless…" said Ryan "Jack managed to find a power source with unlimited elemental energy…Like the Eclipse Reactor for example…"

"No way! It's just a legend isn't it?" said Kimiko "But you said it has been hidden in a parallel universe for a billion, billion years?"

"It just so happens that Jack may have found the where it is…" said Ryan as he handed Omi the paper.

"But you said it was in a parallel universe" said Raimundo.

"And what parallel universe do we know about?" said Omi as he looked up from the paper. They all gasped as they reached the answer at the same time.

"The Ying-Yang world!" said all of them together.

"But how is he going to get there?" said Clay "We have both Yo-yos?"

"Jack can build a time machine" said Raimundo "He probably can make a dimensional portal to the Ying-Yang world"

"Are you sure it's there?" said Kimiko as she looked at Ryan.

"I don't know" said Ryan "But it is obvious that Jack is going to go there to find it with the help of Chase"

"So let's go!" said Omi as he headed to the exit, "Next stop! The Ying-Yang world!"

This is the first time I've put the story into the Ying-Yang world…R&R!
