With a grunt, Polonaise suddenly pulled himself up. "You are no weak opponent. I have to respect that." As he stood at full height, he paused for a moment before turning toward R.D.. "It seems the day is yours."
"Then get out of here," R.D. said, keeping his weapon trained on Polonaise. Nothing more.
===BlueBomber Blues, Kattelox Island===
Tomoko directed them over to one particular table where they wouldn't be harassed that much, and sat down at it. Pulling the satchel up, she opened it up and pulled out the relic within.
It was the same gunmetal gray color as the metal piece the Hartnetts had acquired from R.D.'s house back in North America. However, this piece of the Chronoscepter was a large, hollow cylinder, with two flat, triangular portions extending out from either side, and a curved blade pointed forward on the top. Intricate designs covered the blade and the flat extensions. It looked as if the crystal portion of the Chronoscepter would fit inside of the cylinder.
"Here it is," she said, handing it out Bryant and Veronica. "My parents bought it from a Digger a few years back. Apparently it was buried in one of the ruins around here. I had no idea it was a piece of one of the Seven Perfect Weapons... I'm lucky no one else came after it. But then again, most people don't know of what condition the weapon is in."
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."

"That's right, Meta. Revealing too much information about the future can altar the course of time, and in some cases lead to catastrophe." Serenade said to the young Dark Balance. "I can tell you this much, Awai: The Sword of Time is one of six weapons created by Kuro Balance."
"That's it?" Awai was plainly frustrated. "You're not going to tell me why he made them? Not how, where, or even when? You're just going to leave at that?"
"I'm sorry Awai, but I cannot interfere." The Supreme Light Balance said sincerely.
"I understand." He said lowly, and then slowly lifted off the ground. "I'll be on my way, now."
"Good to see you again." Serenade said with a smile as she watched Awai fly up to the higher floors of the Nexus toward the portal that would take him back to the Beta dimension.
"Now then," Lament said as he took a couple steps toward Meta. "Shall we get you back to your own time?"
~Main Gate~
"It's not." Gatz said quietly. "That unit...it's one of a kind. But it's been corrupted by something." He said, and then the eyes of the being started to shine with red energy. "It's about to attack! Move!" The Servitor urged Seril, and then dashed to his right just as a pair of red energy beams streamed toward them from the unit's eyes. "That's a Divinity model; the ultimate combat unit! There was only one made before The System was shutdown. The Divinity's power, speed, fighting skills, et cetera, are far superior to those of a Bureaucratic model, Purifier, or even a Mother Unit!" He shouted to Seril before back-flipping onto a wall, and then leaping off of it and over another energy beam. "So stay on your toes." He said once he landed in a knelt position.
"There's no need to remain," Polonaise replied. "The Core's already been purified, the Omega Essence in the girl's possession. My lord is already telling me to fall back, as with Pizza."
He brought up his pipe. "But do not think for a minute that we are completely defeated. We know you will leave this world soon. And when you are gone...we will earn our eventual victory."
He leaned down and fired a blast of smog at R.D. head on.
R.D. blasted away the fog using wind energy as it struck him, but that was all that was needed; once it cleared, Polonaise was gone.
"Tch."
R.D. ran up to the hole in the wall and jumped down onto some of the outcroppings until he reached Matt. "Looks like the kids succeeded; Polonaise told me before he bailed."
===The Main Gate, Kattelox Island===
Seril jumped back as the beam struck the ground, bringing her Dragonblade up to a ready position. "We'll see how superior it is, then," she growled out. "Any known weaknesses to this thing?"
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."

"Pizza's gone, too," Matt said, jabbing a thumb over his shoulder. "Let's find the others."
"No need," R.D. said, pointing down the shaft as he dismissed his armor. Two lights, one blue and the other green, were rising up towards them.
It wasn't long before Ileyna and Mamoru were level with them, both alight with their power. R.D. noted with surprise that Mamoru's wings of light were much more simple in design than Ileyna's. The girl in question was holding the pendant out to Matt. Floating beside Mamoru, within the shielding of the two children, was a rather stunned-looking Japanese man clad in fighter pilot's uniform. Tears were running down his face.
"Here you go," she said. "I put the shard inside already."
"Great," R.D. said. "Let's go find Hugo and Helena."

Gatz thought for a moment, all the while dodging energy beams. He couldn't think of any specific weakness that the unit would have. Suddenly a sphere of fire about the size of a basket ball shot at Gatz. The Servitor moved out of the way just in time. The fire didn't even touch him, but just having it several inches away from him singed the front of the upper half of his clothing. "Dang it." He muttered as he turned to look at the Divinity model. Flames appeared in its palms and then raced toward Seril and Gatz. ~Think!~ Just then a memory came back to the Servitor.
~Millenniums Ago, Elysium~
Yuna stood in a well lit metal room in front of an inactive Divinity Unit. The Unit was rather different from the one Gatz & Seril were up against in the Main Gate, and yet it was the same. The spikes on the elbows, knees, shoulders and forehead were gone. The black on its body was white, and the red lines were a radiant silver. The wings had no holes in them, and the aura wasn't there at that time. From a door behind the Mother Unit came Gatz, who commonly walked up behind her and stood staring at the new model.
"Oh Gatz! Isn't it beautiful?" Yuna said with glee as she turned around to look at her Servitor.
"I'm not sure that's the right word to describe what is to be the paramount combat model." Gatz replied plainly.
"Maybe. But there's no denying it; it is a pulchritudinous unit." She said as she turned back around.
"Yes, it is." The Servitor said with a grin. "This is the prototype, correct?"
"That's right."
"So, it has yet to be tested?" Gatz asked, sounding a little worried.
"Correct. But there's no need to worry, Gatz." Mother Yuna said as he walked over to the Divinity model. She put her palm on the back of its head, and then her hand glowed gold for a second before a part of the armor moved inward and then slid up revealing a red button with The System emblem on it. "There's a manual shutdown right here."
~Current date, Main Gate~
"Of course!" Gatz yelled in realization, and then dove out of the way of the fire. ~The manual shutdown. If I can get behind it I should be able to open that panel and shut it down.~ "Seril! Can you distract it for me? I have an idea."
"I hope they're okay," Mamoru said.
Matt slid the pendant inside his jacket. "Same here. Let's go."
They traced their way back toward the sewers, piling out of the foul tunnel back into the sun. Matt shielded his eyes, glancing about. Where did Helena go?
"Hey!" a voice shouted from above. Atop the building Matt had placed him on, Hugo waved his pickaxe. "Sure took you a while."
"Eat me. Where's Helena?"
"In the shade." Hugo pointed toward the side of the warehouse that faced opposite of the sun, casting the area in cool shade.
Matt peered around the corner and there she was, curled up in her particular way. Good.
R.D. was busy helping the former Zonder, who he learned went by the name of Sasaki Takeo, out of the manhole. "Well, we better go find GGG and bring Takeo here in."
Ileyna nodded. "I think they're headed here already," she said.
"What makes you say that?" R.D. asked, turning. Ileyna pointed out the incoming GunGlue. "Okay, so they're on their way already. Works for me."
===The Main Gate, Kattelox Island===
"I'm on it!" Seril shouted, rushing through the flames. Using her wings, she propelled herself up and attacked, striking repeatedly at the Divinity Unit's head with her sword.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."
CAPCOM: We put the "No" in Innovation.
"Get me down from here, would you?" Hugo called down to R.D..
Matt crouched near Helena. "Hey."
"Hmmm?" She lifted her head.
"You always sleep like that?" Matt asked, with a smirk.
She looked at her current position, curled up like an overly large dog. "...no."
"Come on. We purified the Zonder Core and we're about to head back to base."
"Yeah, hold on," R.D. said, making his way up onto the roof. He quickly retrieved the Mettaur and returned to the street, just as the GGG forces arrived. A few hours later, they were freshened up and awaiting their debriefing in the Main Order Room of GGG's underwater base.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."

"You've done an excellent job," Taiga said to the group. "Without your help, we wouldn't have been able to defeat EI-OMEGA."
"Glad we could help, Chief," Matt said. "Hopefully there won't be any more incidents like these."
"I'm surprised you managed to hold your own against the Zonderians," Hyuuma remarked. "I guess you weren't kidding when you said you could take care of yourselves."
"Well, they certainly gave us trouble as it was," R.D. said. "Hell, the only reason Pizza and Polonaise stopped was because Ileyna and Mamoru managed to purify Takeo. Whoever their superior is was the one who had them retreat when it happened."
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."

"By the way," Professor Leo asked, "how did your G-Stone work out, Hugo?"
"I overheated," Hugo said. "But that's because I pushed it too far. Next time I'll be more careful."
"If you'd like, I can install the failsafes later. It'll take some time, but you'll need them."
"How long will the basics take? We can't stay around here long. We have places we need to be."
Leo swished his hand around in thought. "This isn't a big job. It's not like I'm installing them in a Brave Machine. Really, the only problem is modifying it to fit your unique technology. The whole thing should take a few hours, without finetuning."
"That's all I can afford, Professor," Hugo said. "I'll just have to be careful."
"We could use the rest," R.D. said, stretching his arms a bit. "We've done nothing but work today."
Wasn't that the truth. In one day, they'd been to three different worlds, with little rest inbetween. They had to sleep at some point.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"

The Divinity Unit raised its right hand, and then a red force field appeared where Seril was attacking. No matter how hard she struck it didn't seem to do anything to the barrier. By simply pushing its hand forward a bit it launched the force field to send Seril back to the other side of the room where it would fire at her with more energy beams. All the while, Gatz was getting into position. He ran up the wall above the Divinity Unit so he wouldn't get spotted, and just before it was going to shoot Seril he landed on its back, grabbed onto its neck with one hand and placed his other on the back of its head. His hand glowed gold, and then the button was revealed. He quickly pressed the button, shutting the Divinity model down. The Servitor jumped down in front of his opponent, and soon found himself flying across the room. The Divinity model had rebooted the second Gatz jumped off, and then shot him with a pair of energy beams from its eyes.
Gatz forced himself to a kneeling position, and turned to look at the prototype. Red energy was flowing from the cables into the Divinity Unit. "It turned back on too fast." He thought aloud. "Seril, cut the cables!" He shouted, and then speedily transformed. "You wanna play rough, do you?" Gatz asked the Divinity model as he started shooting a barrage of lasers at it.
"Good idea!" Matt said. "I could use some downtime. A nice big meal, some video games. I definitely deserve it."
"I just want to take a good nap," Helena said. She was still stretching a bit every so often, working out the kinks in her spine. "That one I took earlier wasn't very good."
Guy looked at Taiga. "I think we can help them rent a good room and food for a while, Chief."
"Of course," Taiga said. "I know a great hotel downtown called The Advent. We'll set you up and have Volfogg take you over."
"Volfogg sure is driving us around a lot lately," Matt said. "I'll be sure to leave him a tip."
R.D. rolled his eyes. "Like he'd have any use for money," he remarked, turning to leave. "C'mon, let's go."
They made their way to the armory, where Volfogg was already waiting, transformed back into a police car.
"Ready to go?" he asked through the dashboard terminal as they climbed in.
"Take us away," R.D. said with a gesture of his hand.
===The Main Gate, Kattelox Island===
Seril grunted as the waves of force deflected her off of the rampaging Divinity Unit. Her reflexes were excellent, however, allowing her to right herself before she struck the wall. She dropped off of it as the counterattack came flying in.
She nodded to Gatz when he made his command, and took off across the room. She reverted her wings back into her body as she did, minimizing her size and allowing her that much more agility as she made her charge. Reaching the cables, Seril launched herself upwards, swinging up with her superheated Dragonblade.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."

The Divinity model protected itself with another barrier as Gatz shot at it. Soon the Ancient felt a sudden decrease in power, and turned to see Seril had sliced through several of the cables that linked it to the Main Gate. The Divinity Unit fired the force field at Gatz in a fit of rage, and due to how small the room was in comparison to Gatz's huge body the Servitor was unable to move out of the way. Gatz was hit and crashed into the wall. The Divinity model disconnected the remaining cables, and flew away from Seril. It turned sharply to the dragon, and then square-shaped slots rapidly opened up all over the front of its body. The slots glowed red, as did its eyes, and then dozens of red energy beams shot out at Seril from the slots and its eyes.
Acrobatically, the dragon-woman backflipped away from the barrage of laser fire, deflecting some of the shots using the blade of her sword. Running to the side, she leaped onto the wall and pushed off, diving towards the Divinity Unit. As she came up from the roll she entered, she attacked the Ancient's side, slashing with her sword as she ran past it.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"
"OugharagarraaahhHHH: When 'Ow' just won't cut it."

(OOC: Oh no!! It's April 1st! Quick! Someone back-up the RPG topic!)
Gatz transformed back into his human-like form, and slowly struggled to get to his feet. "Wow. That thing has quite a kick to it."
The Divinity model closed the slots and stopped the beams as it took flight high above Seril, thus avoiding her sword. The Ancient stared at Seril, examining her closely. Suddenly the Divinity Unit's left hand retracted into its arm and out came a 3-foot long red beam blade. The Divinity model shot at Seril at sonic speed and slashed at her diagonally at close range. Even if she did somehow manage to jump back away from the blade chances were she'd get hit by the arch of energy that shot out from the energy blade when it was swung.
He walked silently, muttering to himself quietly...
The place was eerily deserted, but he was wary of his surroundings,not to be fooled by the deadly silence...
Equipped with his shotgun, he walked into the darkness,awaiting for something to happen
"Ho-hold on a sec..." Meta said as she rubbed her temples in irritation. "It doesn't feel quite yet to me like I've recovered from being shot back in time, so it doesn't feel quite right to be shot forward in time again, back to the future. Your future, anyhow, my present." A sigh escaped her as she stared at the ground for a moment before raising her head again and her eyes moved between the two Balances. "I don't even really know who you two are, for one."
All hail the Supreme Comrade Cossack!
Only Seril's draconic reflexes saved her from the attack, allowing her to fall to the side as the beam saber flashed downwards. Unfortunately, the blade she had brought up to defend in case she couldn't make it caught against the searing edge of the Divinity Unit's blade.
There was a sound of sparking metal for a moment before the beam saber began to cut through the Dragonblade, and cursing, Seril abandoned the weapon as the two pieces dropped to the floor. She lunged forward, rolling past the Divinity Unit, its back now pointed towards her.
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"

InactiveVeronica took the weapon, holding it gingerly. God forbid something breaks and it all goes down the shitter now. She slid it into the satchel holding the other pieces. Bryant had glanced around, no one was watching.
"Will you be alright?" Veronica asked, always worrying about other people. Especially children. She was so young and it made Veronica unable to believe the power Tomoko had, even if she were to lift a tank with her mind, Veronica would still be worried somewhat.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," Tomoko said with a shrug. "I've got plenty of wards and I can take care of myself. I've been a Daughter of Dawn a lot longer than Alasea has. What about you three?"
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"

InactiveBryant shrugged. "We should be fine." He said simply, "We got here without a wind of trouble. I doubt our luck will hold out that long, but I think we've got the guns to take care of ourselves."
"You need help getting home?" Veronica then offered. Bryant didn't object. He'd probably feel better to. Then again, what if her parents saw them? Gulp.
"Nah, I'll be fine. School's finally been closed down because of the repeated attacks, so I've got nowhere else to be," Tomoko said. "So, where you guys going next? Know where any more pieces of the Chronoscepter is at?"
"Why do you care that I care that you care enough to care that I care for caring?" "Conversation isn't your strong point, is it?"
"I worship the supreme comrade Cossack!"

Sadly, the hotel room did NOT have video games.
"Well, NOW what are we supposed to do?" Matt asked, tossing his bag into the comfy chair angled from the bed.
"Read," Hugo said.
"Fuck that noise."
Helena pushed a shoe off with her foot. "Just go walk around, then. I need to sleep."
