Ranger24: Come on guys stop it!
Around the stage Aang an the Chief are going at it.
Ranger24: This could take a while.
Cortana: Maybe I should nararte for this chapter
Ranger24: Okay good luck.
Aang and the Chief crash into him forcing him into the brawl. Cortana sighs.
Cortana: Men.
Chapter 25: Revelation
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Cloud and Dojo reappeared agian. This time they were in the control.
Dojo: Well any thing of sufficent biomass is classified as jelly fish contamination risk.
Cloud looks around. Over twelve hours before he had left Areith here. He hoped she was safe.
Dojo: Is something wrong?
Cloud: No nothing.
Dojo: Splendid. Shall we?
They walk and float their way over to the comand console. There Dojo turns around to face him.
Dojo: This is where my part in this endevour ends. A unit of my classification is not permitted to preform a task as important as the reunification of the index with the core. That is reserved for you Reclaimer.
Dojo coughed up the index.
Cloud: I'm not touching that thing.
Dojo: Don't worry dragon stomachs really break down anything but metal and our own flesh in about a second so the index is perfectly clean.
Cloud took the index and shuddered even though his hand was gloved. He carefully slide it into the control console. There was a flash of green light and dozens of mathmatical figures appeared. Then flashed out. Dojo scratched his head.
Dojo: Odd that wasn't supposed to happen.
Suddenly Areith appeared in a flash of angry pink light. To say the least to Cloud she looked really pissed.
Areith: Oh really!
She swatted at Dojo sending him flying into the floor.
Cloud: Areith!
Areith: I'VE SPENT TWELVE HOURS COPPED UP IN HERE WATCH YOU TODDIE ABOUT WITH THAT! HELPING IT GET READY TO SLIT OUR THROATS!
Cloud spoke as calmly as he could hoping it would call her down.
Cloud: Hold on now he's a freind.
Areith: Oh! I didn't relise. He's your pal is he. Your chum. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT BASTERD ALMOST MADE YOU DO!!
Cloud: Yes activate the rings defenses and wipe out the jelly fish which is why we brought the index to the control center.
Now it seemed it was Dojo's (who had gotten himself up off the floor at last) turn to be pissed.
Dojo: A CONSTRUCT IN THE CORE THAT IS UNACCEPIBLE!
Areith: SOD off!
Dojo: I WILL PURGE YOU AT ONCE!!
Areith smirked and clicked her fingers the index vanished.
Areith: You sure you should do that?
Dojo: How dare you I'll!
Areith: Do what? I have the index you can float and sputter!
Cloud broke in before this got violent.
Cloud: Enough!
He turned to Areith a bit flustered
Cloud: The jelly fish are spreading. If we activate halo's defenses we can wipe them out.
Areith: You have no idea how these rings work do you! Why the forunners built? Halo doesn't kill flood it kills their food! Toons, nobodies, ninjas what ever we're all eqaully edible. They only to kill the jelly fish is to starve them to death. And thats what this ring dose wipe the galaxy clean of a sentient life!
Cloud paused suddenly a hot bubbleing anger brewed in his gut. He turned to face Dojo his voice full of menace.
Cloud: What she's saying. Is it true?
Dojo: More or less. Technically this rings effective range is 250000 light years. But once the other installations follow suit this galaxy will be quite deviod of life.
Suddenly Areith stiffened.
Areith: Cloud I'm picking up movement!
Dojo: We have followed the containment procedure to the letter. You were with me every step of the way.
Areith: We need to go! Right now!
He then spoted five sentinals surrounding him in a semi circle. He whirled around and quickly eject Areith from the console. He plunged the chip into his helmet. Dojo mean while was soeaking.
Dojo: Why do you question to do what you have already done?
Areith: Get. Us. Out. Of. Here!
Dojo: Last time you asked me if it was my choice would I do it. My answer hasn't changed. There is no choice we must activate the ring. But if you are unwilling I will simply find another. But I must have the index. Give me your construct or I will be forced to take her from you.
Cloud thought back to Uno's orders and he gritted his teeth. He switch the sentinels to hostiles.
Cloud: That's not going to happen!
He raised the plasma pistol. Dojo sighed.
Dojo: So be it.
He turned to the sentinals while gold telporting rings flashed around him.
Dojo: Save his head despose of the rest.
He vanished and the sentinals attacked. Cloud doged their slow moving burn lasers with ease the charged up and fired the plasma blast it slamed head on into the lead drone it went down in the single shot. He fired the weapon till it's power cell died. Even though the strategy worked two sentinals were still fighting. He got in as close as he could and fired taking both of the down in three shots. As soon as the room was clear areith started talking.
Areith: We can't let the moniter activate halo we have to destroy it! To do that we're going to need an explosion of sufficent size to cut through enough sub systems to desabilize the ring. A star ships fusion reacter going critical should do the trick. I'm going to search whats left of the organization battle net and find out where the Pillar of toon's crash site is and see if we can use it.
Cloud: Sounds like a plan.
He smiled.
Cloud: Good to have you back.
Areith: Good to be back.
Cloud: So now what?
Areith: We get out of here.
Cloud: Oh.
Cortana: Well that's that chapter.
In the back round Ranger has Aang and the Chief tied down to physcatric beds while he's siting in a big arm chair with a note pad and pen in hand. Aang had a black eye and the Chief was chained down with steel chains
Ranger24: Alright Aang you start. Why are you two fighting?
Aang: All I said was he was lieing about the fearlessness.
Chief: I'm not afriad of doors it was just a truamatizing experince.
Ranger24: Okay this could take a while. Cortana please do the honors.
Cortana: Yet again. Very well. Read and Review.
Aang: You are to afriad of big doors!
Chief: I am not!
Ranger24: Shut up!
