It's chapter 4 time everyone. No new characters, though.
Disclaimor: Seriously?
Chapter 4: Takeoffand New Equipment
The next morning everyone awoke from a peaceful night of sleep. T.J. and Speedy were the first to wake up.
"Alright, Speedy, meet me downstairs I'll fix us both breakfast when I get ready and come down", he said. At the sound of food, the checkered Choa suddenly got excited.
"Choa, Choa, Choa", Speedy cried happily.
"Okay, okay Speedy", T.J. said to try to quiet the Choa, "you're not starving, you can't be after dinner last night."
T.J. remembered that Speedy had eaten three square fruits, two round fruits, and one triangle fruit. That Choa was always hungry. Speedy hurried downstairs, still excited and T.J. glanced at Tootie to make sure they didn't wake her up. Just as he turned around to leave he heard her stir. He turned around. She was sitting upright, putting her oval-shaped glasses on.
"T.J,. you're up early, T.K., what time is it", she yawned.
"5:33", her green C.O.M.S. replied.
"Wow, T.J. what are you doing up so early", Tootie said.
"I'm up early, so I can make final preparations for takeoff"
"T.J., I have to ask you something.", Tootie said.
"Ask away"
"Yesterday you said that Timmy, Sovia and I were temporary Smash Bros., but you didn't say anything about yourself, why", Tootie said trying to understand.
"Well, Tootie, I'm surprised you haven't figured it out, it's simple, I'm an official Smash Brother", T.J. replied.
"Oh, I guess that makes sense", said, amazed how she didn't figure that out.
"Yeah, are you coming to breakfast, I can't keep Speedy waiting any longer, according to him he's starving", T.J. said.
"After dinner, last night", she said astounded.
"That's what I said, so are you coming or staying"
"I guess I'll come", she replied.
After eating breakfast, watching Speedy devour more fruit, and cleaning themselves up, the three went to their friend's houses for their wake up calls. When everything was done it was 7:00. The four walked back to the harbor with their parents.
All of the parents were crying their eyes out. Tootie's were crying over not only Tootie, but T.J. as well. He was like a son to them and a big brother to Tootie.
"We're going to miss you two", Mrs. Hitchback weeped.
"Sovia, don't forget to call", Mr. and Mrs. Manchester said.
"Tommy, don't go", Timmy's dad cried with his arms around Timmy's ankles, forgetting his name.
They made it to the harbor and Sovia's dad walked up to T.J. and said, "I want you to protect my little angel, don't let anything happen to her."
T.J. gave him his signature two-finger salute and said, "Yes, sir."
After their exchanged good-byes, they warped to the ship (the day before T.J. registered the other three's C.O.M.S to the carrier). They were in their seats inside the flight deck. Tootie and Sovia were at the radar and early-warning systems. Timmy was at the ship's status systems. T.J. was at the central flight control panel and defense systems.
They all waited for T.J. to stop flipping switches and pushing buttons for instructions.
"Alright, everyone to your left you should see a place to secure your C.O.M.S., they are the starter valves to the main engines", T.J. finally said. They all placed their left arm in the starter valves. T.J. pushed a few more buttons with his free hand and they all felt the ship start to vibrate violently. The vibrations lasted about 25 seconds before stopping.
"You can take your hands out of the valves now", T.J. said standing up. They did and stood up too.
"Wow, this is the Earth in space", Tootie said looking, out of the front glass, amazed.
"It's beautiful", Sovia added.
"Yeah", Timmy said even though this wasn't his first time in space.
"J.E.E.V.E.S. set a course for Mobius Prime", T.J. instructed.
"How long will it take us to get there", Timmy asked.
"Well the ship isn't at full power, so we can't jump to warpspeed, without warping, about three weeks, which gives me plenty of time to teach you about the ship and kinesis powers. But before I can do that, I have to give you some equipment.", he explained.
"What kind of equipment", Sovia asked.
A long table with a blanket over it on a lift came up from beneath the floor out of a small shaft. T.J. walked over to it and removed the blanket.
He picked a device up as everyone walked to the opposite side of the table and said, "This is a small upgrade to your C.O.M.S., it will generate an atmospheric forcefield, allowing you to breathe in space and underwater." It was a small pink disc with a white border. T.J. went on, "You just put it on your C.O.M.S. and they will do the rest."
He set the disc down and picked up a silver, retangular device "This is stealth camouflage, when activated it will cover you in a cloak, rendering you almost invisible", He explained.
"What do you mean by almost invisible", Tootie asked.
"Well stealth camouflage will make you invisible, if you activate it before someone notices you, if they do notice you and you activate it, it will only conceal you at 95% effectiveness making it harder for them to keep track of your movement", he replied.
"Take one of each, the rest of your equipment is in the armory", T.J. said. They each took their equipment and followed T.J. to the armory.
He flipped the lights on and they followed him through many vehicles and ammo. He led them to a case of advanced looking battle suits. "These are Power Suits", he explained, "they are among the most advanced battle weapons ever created. Only five exist. I have four based upon the design of the first. Mine is the tall black and silver one, Sovia, yours is the red one, Tootie, yours is the dark green one, and Timmy yours is the blue one. They can do many things, but there will be more time to explain that later. There is only one thing left to give you.", he finished.
"What is that", Sovia asked, getting bored. She would rather have been talking about her and T.J.'s future together.
"Your new weapons", said sensing boredom.
"Don't our C.O.M.S. have weapons", Tootie asked.
"Yes, but that won't be enough against the enemy we're faced against", he replied.
He stood in front of Tootie, and put his hand out to the side. A staff with blades at both ends appearded in his hand shrouded by mist. "Tootie, this is the Warrior's Staff, it is a weapon of speed and swiftness." He walked over to Timmy, this time a double-bladed axe appeared, "Timmy this is the Axe of Power, as its name suggests, it is a weapon of courage and strength." He now stood in front of Sovia, a red bow in his hands, "Sovia, this is the Sniper's Bow, it is a weapon of wisdom and knowledge."
Sovia was so excited, she grabbed T.J. and hugged the life out of him' "Thank you T.J., thank you", she shouted.
"Uh, Sovia I can't breathe", he managed to choke out. Sovia dropped him and let him breathe.
"Oops, hehe, sorry", she said nervously.
"It's alright, well anyway, now that you have your things let's go to the battle simulator and train you guys", he said and they followed him to the simulator to be one step further to becoming official Smash Bros.
I know this chapter lacks action, but its important. Trust me.
