If you want your name on here, then comment! And maybe I'll do something special…

Before I stop typing this, this chapter is dedicated to ForeverOblivion, for her comments and reading (being the first one also). This one will have a lot of action just for you so that it won't be boring! (Even though I know it was meant in the sweetest way possible!..I think.)

Disclaimer: Refer to other chapters instead of this one.

--------

Jin and Canaan were nearing the Foundation.

"Alright, Canaan. We'll land in the docks and begin our assault from there." Jin starts inputting some data. "There doesn't seem to be any of Yuriev's soldiers there."

"Got it." Canaan looks down at his weapon strapped to his belt, a metal extending rod. He hoped it would be enough, seeing that Helmer didn't want ANY casualties.

The Reuben's sensors begin to pick up another target in the vicinity.

"What is it?" Jin asks as he looks around.

"It's an E.S." Canaan says.

"Friend or foe?" Jin asked, even though he knew the answer.

"Definitely an enemy."

Jin lands on the Durandal. "I'll drop you off here then. Any objections?"

Canaan already knew what he was up to. "No. Just don't die." He ejects from the co-pilot's seat and flies towards the Durandal.

Jin turns around and sees a huge sword flying at him. He grabs it with both of his E.S.'s hands and then kicks the enemy back. He materializes both of his katanas and prepares for battle.

"It's been a while…Uzuki." A menacing voice says.

"Yes it has, Margulis." Jin watches his rival's movements and his E.S. The Levi was a dark orange-black E.S. It was the size of his own so he didn't worry about height problems.

"I see that you have an E.S. as well…but no matter. I am still your superior!" Two giant wing attachments open up behind him and float there. They both have a centerpiece and two blades forming a crescent moon. He flies forward and swings his giant sword. Jin ducks and then attacks with one of his katanas. Both of the Levi's attachments spin around and hit Jin's arms, leaving him open for a split second.

Margulis quickly ducks down and swings his leg knocking Jin off balance. Margulis follows through by swinging his sword down. Jin barely manages to bring up his other katana to block it. The impact creates a small shockwave, shaking the Foundation and the Durandal a little bit.

Canaan almost trips and falls over. He turns back to see the two E.Ss. duking it out. "They could at least try and keep it civil." He finds a hatch on the Durandal and then heads down. He turns on his internal sensors and scans the area. There were no soldiers here…for now.

Back on the Durandal's surface, Jin and Margulis continued dueling. Jin had his other katana back but Margulis used his wing attachments with expertise. He used them as a powerful defensive measure, in case Jin tried to attack with both swords.

(Now what am I going to do…) Jin blocks Margulis aerial slash only to get hit by one of Marguli's wing attachments. Margulis thrusts forward with his sword but Jin pulls up his other sword to knock it up. Jin quickly regains balance and starts attacking with both swords wildly, with no regard to the attachments.

This was just what he needed. The attachments had a hard time keeping up with Jin's movements; they were too fast to comprehend. Jin tried to keep his movements fluid, sword slash after sword slash, no break in between. Margulis couldn't counter so he had to keep up a defensive stance. The attachments suddenly come up from behind Jin and grab his E.S.'s arms.

Margulis took his chance and jumped high into space. He raises his sword and dives down, turning on his thrusters to add more power to his dive attack. "This is the end, Uzuki!"

Jr. and the rest of his comrades are in a train, traveling to the shuttle docks where the Elsa was waiting.

"So Yuriev has the Foundation under his control?" Shion asks Jr.

"Yeah…that bastard somehow overrode all the Foundation's security codes and took it without a sweat…" Jr. says grimly. "But the only people who know the codes are the 100-series Realians, Mary, Shelley, Gaignun and me."

"Well, the only one who's missing is Gaignun…" MOMO says.

"Do you think Yuriev got the code from him?" Ziggy asks.

"There's no other way," Jr. says. "Not even seven of the biggest hackers in the world could easily disable the security mother frame in a matter of minutes. I built it that way."

Silence overtakes the group as they silently ponder the mysteries before them.

The train stops and the group gets out. As they near the Elsa, a random person points to the sky and says, "Hey, look!"

Hordes of Gnosis appear in the sky, causing people to scream and panic.

After all the Gnosis appear, Abel's Ark appears as well.

"It's the Ark!" chaos says.

"What are they and it doing here?" Ziggy asks.

People begin to panic and run around frantically, trying to "outrun" the Gnosis presence.

"It's…the beginning…" Jr. says, "of this planet's nightmare..."

"Shion." KOS-MOS says. "If the Gnosis attack, we will have a 93.67 percent chance of not surviving. As well as this planet."

"It can't be…" Shion says. She flashes back to when she was outside her mom's room, banging on the door.

"AHHHHHHHHHH! Let go of me, you monster!" A woman's voice is heard throughout the entire hospital.

"Get your hands off of her!" A male voice says.

A little Shion is banging on the doors, trying to bust them open. "Mommy? Daddy? What's wrong? Mommy, the door won't open! Daddy, will you let me in?"

The screams suddenly become louder and the sound of flesh being torn is heard.

"Mommy? Mommy! Daddy! Jin, where are you?"

Thunder strikes the hospital, knocking the electricity out as the rain pours down from the sky…

Earlier…

"La la la la la…." Little Shion is singing a tune while she's watering the flowers. She pours water with her bunnie can over a budding flower. "Grow up to be big and strong, okay, little flower?"

A young Jin is watching her from a bench. (She's so carefree…if only this moment could last forever…)

Little Shion walks up to him and raises her bunnie can to him. "You water the flowers too!"

"Aw…do I have to?" Jin asks hesitantly.

"Yes, now come on, Jin!"

Little Shion grabbed his hand and started tugging on it with all of her might. Jin reluctantly stands up and goes up to some flowers. He pours it down and puts his left hand on his hip to signify that he was bored with this little action.

"Hey, Jin?"

"What is it?"

"Will you come with me to the hospital to see mom?"

"I can't. I have some business to discuss with Helmer. But I'll try to make it brief and come see mother with you."

"Really? Promise?" She holds out her pinky.

Jin slowly puts his pinky around hers. "Promise."

Back to the Flashback…

Shion's mom stops screaming and Gnosis are crawling outside the building near Shion. "MOMMY! DADDY! JIN!"

"No…" Shion falls to her knees, holding her head. "I…I won't let this happen again!"

"Shion." chaos goes up to her and puts his hand on her shoulder for comfort. "I know you want to do something to help. But there are things we must learn to accept. Our pasts…our futures…"

"I'm sick of fate deciding for me!" Shion pulls out a cell phone and presses a button.

-------

Margulis dives down with his sword raised and thrusters at full blast. "This is the end, Uzuki!"

Just as Margulis is about to finish off Jin with a clean slice, the Durandal starts to shake violently, causing the attachments to falter a bit. Jin quickly spins around with lightning speed with both of his swords out, knocking them away. He then backflips and kicks Margulis right as he was on top of him, causing him to fly straight towards the Foundation's outer protective layer. Margulis easily flies up and turns around to see Jin coming straight towards him.

Sparks fly as their swords collide and the E.S. Dinah is seen in the distance. Jin notices this and then brings up his other sword. (I guess Shion must be calling it from wherever she is…she must be in trouble then…)

A couple of seconds later, the Dinah zips through hyperspace without a U.M.N column and disappears. Jin and Margulis knock each other back and wait for the other to move. The wing attachments fly back to Margulis and hover there.

(I didn't expect that this would last long…) Jin thinks. (Perhaps I should use the Anima that the Reuben has…) He presses a button and four spikes emerge from the Reuben's back in an X shape.

Margulis's sword starts to glow with power and his wing attachments start spinning around him. They both charge up their Anima attacks and fly forward.

Margulis' wing attachments spiral all around him, blades extended. Together, it formed a three-pronged spiral attack.

Jin flies forward, his swords brimming with power as well as the spikes on his back. As soon as they collide, the spikes from Jin's back reveal that they're swords. Jin attacks with all six of his swords with lightning speed. Using two of them to knock away the flying attachments and two of them to knock Margulis's attack back.

Jin then raises both his arms out to the side and the blades come together in his hands, forming two fan blades of three swords. He strikes Margulis with both of them and then creates a spiral tornado around Margulis with four of his swords. He finishes his attack by flying high in the air and then coming down with an X-slash.

The Levi gets majorly damaged in its working capacity and floats into space.

Margulis lets out a cry of defeat. "Damn you, Uzuki!"

"Those who damn others are the ones who are damned. Isn't that what our master taught us?" Jin asks.

An IFF signal sounds off in Margulis' E.S. "Commander Margulis!"

"Pellegri. Go. Transport me out of here."

"Understood."

A red E.S. appears from the Immigrant Fleet overlooking the Foundation. It is the E.S. Issachar. A staff is in its right hand and a huge hand is floating above the left shoulder.

Jin watches as the Isschar takes the Levi back to the Fleet. He had no intention of attacking a wounded person. He had honor.

Margulis hits a couple of buttons and a screen pops up revealing Sellers. "Do it."

The Immigrant Fleet starts to move towards the Foundation. They start to send out A.M.W.S. when the Second Miltian Fleet begins to open fire on the Immigrant Fleet. An A.M.W.S being released gets hit by a laser beam and its inside blown apart. The ship that the blown up A.M.W.S. was on has its deck blown up as well.

"What the…an ambush?" Pellegri gasps.

Margulis chuckles a bit. "Should've known…that Helmer…"

-------

"Shion? What did you do?" Jr. asks.

"You'll see." Shion points up to the sky and the Dinah emerges from out of nowhere and lands in front of her.

"Damnit! Why didn't I think of this?"

"Our E.S.s are back on the Foundation, aren't they?" chaos asks.

Jr. puts his hand on his forehead. "Don't remind me. We'll have to ask Matthews if he can help us back up Shion."

"Don't worry about me. I've also called for help." Shion says. Another A.M.W.S. jumps from the rooftop of the building and lands next to the Dinah.

"Hey, Shion." The voice says on the loudspeakers.

"Hey, Celina. I'm glad you came."

"Of course. Fellow Scientia members have got to help each other out, right?" She looks up to the sky and turns on her engines. "Let's rock 'em."

Both the Dinah and Celina take to the skies.

"Come on! I don't want to miss out on the fun!" Jr. says. He runs into the Elsa, followed by the others to the bridge. "Matthews! Let's get going and help Shion out!"

"No can do, Little Master."

"Why not?"

Matthews dips his head down in shame. "Due to a recent concert on Keltia, I am currently low on money."

"And what does that got to do with anything? Besides your obsession with the Seraphim sisters."

"Well, the weapons haven't really been…maintained…for awhile."

Jr. roars in anger, causing the Elsa to shake. "WWWHHHAAAATTTTT!"

"We'll just have to make it back to the Durandal and grab the E.S.s, then come back here." Ziggy says.

"I like the way you think old man." Jr. jumps onto a console that Hammer was working on and points a finger towards the sky. "Let's get going then!"

The ship suddenly starts up and then flies forward into the docks, causing the one they were on to break off completely.

"Hey, hey, hey! Get your ass off the navigation controls!" Matthews says. A thought suddenly crosses through his mind. (But…he said that he would pay for damage expenses…)

-------

Two thwacks are heard within the darkness and two bodies hit the floor. A dragging sound is heard and Canaan steps into the light. He has his metal rod on his shoulder and looks at the coming train. "Well, that takes care of the train guards. Now, all I have to do is take it to the bridge, and handle that U.R.T.V."

A/N: Ahhhh….the joy of finishing another chapter. I hope that you enjoy it since I had a fun time trying to think of what was going to happen. Okay, okay, I had a little case of writer's block but the more important thing is that I finished this chapter, right? I'm already working on the next chapter so that I can make up for making you all wait…just don't hit or throw sharp objects at me, okay? Until next time!
