Daemon was lounging around in a plaza. It was a nice plaza, had some trees, a fountain, and a mid-level view of the nearby city-scape. It was pretty high up, being a platform spawning off the side of a large commercial district building. Honestly, when he thought about it, this Mars reminded him of Coruscant from the Star Wars movies. All high tech, an almost planet-wide metropolis. It was nice. There was only one problem.

"I have no fucking clue what to do."

From what Daemon had ascertained, there was an Earth in this universe. It also wasn't his Earth. It had had it's own apocalyptic thing happen, but it wasn't meteor day. Colesprite didn't know what to do either, cuz this was outside the parameters of the game he was designed for. He was curious if Paradox Space had anything to do with this. Probably; considering it'd be paradoxical for something to NOT involve Paradox Space.

But as it was, Daemon was currently aimless, having just finished an amusing conversation with a Gummi Ship salesman. Daemon was in apparent need of a Gummi Ship to navigate the worlds, but to do that, he needed "Munny" of which he had none. So now he needed to figure out if he needed to get a job, or if there was an easier way of getting Munny.

Daemon chuckled at Adam's slapstick moment with Eve, as well as his request to repeat the explanation, tossing an Array Card over to him. "Here dude, this is the easiest Modus, just turn it on and you're good." He would also hand over about ten spare blank captcha cards to start his sylladex. He then listened as Kawika and Eve talked about the ship and gifts, and then Zeke was called for food. Daemon would look at his food and how little he had eaten. He hated that he couldn't finish it, it looked so good.

The password fell into place all at once and Zeke had been given full access to it when his attention was pulled from the datascape.

"Eh! Zeke boy! You like breakfast or what? Come eat or else gon be no moa fo you!"

Reality crashed against Ezekiel harder than he would have liked as he stumbled slightly for his footing. He looked at the time and blinked. What felt like a few minutes turned out to be a few hours here in the real world. Then, he felt his stomach shrink as it growled for sustinance. "Oh.... right."

Zeke looked to Reginald. "Looks like you'll get first dibs after all. I'll be back shortly, Reg." He gave the A.I. a slight wave then made his way down to join the others. Slowly, he walked to the doorway and felt something drip from his nose. He wiped it and looked down to see blood. Instantly his senses went on alert.

This never happened before, at least not for how little he used his powers. Unless.... It really was more than he thought it was. Inmediately, Zeke went to the sink and washed his hands. As soon as he could, he grabbed a tissue and tried to stop the bleeding. "Morning, everyone." He said before the sink, waving to the others when he could be focusing more on his mysterious injury.

"Found out a few cool things about the ship.... and some useful info about it too. Like old records....."

He looked over at Adam and Eve before saying his next line, "And video logs of your father."

As they were eating Daemon let out a chuckle and handed Adam a Fetch Modus and a few cards. The boy who had finished his food was now tanking down his juice. When he reached out for the Modus and the cards they seemed to vanish for a while then suddenly popped up in his field of vision, almost like a Heads Up Display. "Woah. This is pretty cool. I'll have to play around with this later." He took a look at this new Sylladex but wondered how it would go away. He was about to ask Daemon for help when it just vanished. Huh. Well at least it went away.

Next up Ezekiel entered the kitchen and promptly made himself some food to eat. He greeted everyone then took a seat before speaking. "Found out a few cool things about the ship.... and some useful info about it too. Like old records....." The man looked at the siblings before continuing. "And video logs of your father."

Adam suddenly stopped what he was doing at looked up at Zeke directly. Was this really happening? "Videos about Dad? Like what?" Surprisingly, Adam was calm. Of course he was over joyed about finding more info about his dad but he wanted to know a bit more before going over board. Kawika on the other hand raised an eye brown.

"Eh? Old videos about Shoujax? I want to know as well Zeke. Why don't you show us once we get to the ship. I'll meet you guys there I need to grab a few things for you guys before you leave." The dark skinned man paused. He looked like he was going to say more but then left the room leaving the four adolescents alone together.

"I really hope this stuff is useful to finding Dad. I really . . . wanna know more about him." Adam stood up from the table and threw away his paper plate. "Can you show us the videos Zeke? I really wanna see what its about." As he waited for an answer Adam went to the cooler in the kitchen and grabbed another can of apple iced tea. Maybe this was the information that he was looking for.

As soon as she heard her dad's name, Eve chose to shut off. She listened to what everyone was saying, but spent the entire time staring at her empty plate. Sounded like they were going to learn a lot more about their father, but she didn't want to know anything. She was happy for her brother, but she just didn't want anything to do with her father anymore, and she could feel her patience wearing thin.

Ignoring her brother's politeness and calmness about the situation, Eve stood up when her brother asked about seeing the videos and began to leave the room. There was no point in hanging around here anymore. Kawika was going to meet them in the ship, and Adam was eager to see the videos, so they might as well get it over with and go watch them. She didn't wait to see if anyone followed, but just went straight to the ship.

"Reginald?" Eve called out as she entered the ship. Heading straight for the Captain's chair, Eve stated "get up these logs of Shoujax. They've attracted an audience."

Daemon looked around at everyone as the events happened. Apparently the tech-dude had found videos of the siblings' dad. Adam was surprisingly calm, though obviously eager to see. Daemon could tell that Eve was frustrated with anything to do with her father. This was going to be a fun dynamic to be stuck between. Eve got up and threw away her empty plate, seeming to go ahead and head towards the ship. Adam himself was off to grab another drink, but Zeke had only just arrived for the food. Daemon looked at his barely touched plate and pushed it aside, standing up to follow Eve as he said to Zeke, "Might want to grab your food to go."

He followed Eve then and stood nearby as she spoke to Reginald and asked for the logs to be pulled up. "Morning Reginald." Daemon said in greeting, waving at the hologram.

"I- ....Alright. Just don't blame me if it's not what you wanted." Zeke finished his meal, tossed the paper plate away then made his way back to the ship to see Eve and Daemon already there.

He gently sighed then made his way to the computer and hit play.


Static filled the first five seconds of the log as it was buffering in and out. At the first sight, Shoujax would be seen adjusting the device recording him as he was shown in what appeared to be a war. Behind him, two others were in the middle of fighting a large creature. It was in the middle of a swipe when Aru fired something at it and Coco jumped on it and began viciously stabbing it as she climbed higher to what appeared to be its face until she couldn't be seen behind Shoujaxs hand covering the screen.

Meanwhile, Shoujax was trying to say something, "If anyone reads thi-" The audio cut out but shoujax would keep talking.

Zeke would huff. "Hang on guys. I'll fix this."

He placed his hand on the console and various codes flickered around where he touched. It would look to be holographic binary, then just as quickly as it showed up, it vanished. The video paused then backed up to the begining slowly. The static slowly faded out. And Shoujax could be seen in full view trying to ready a camcorder.


Zeke looked at the twins then played the video and watched with them.



Shoujax was typing something on the console then an eruption happened. The fight between Coco and Aru with their giant returned but now everything was slightly clearer. "If anyone reads this, I am Agent LXIX, Shoujax Celxniy. My comrades and I have been fighting relentlessly against an invasion force on Kan for the past two weeks with no answer. We have requested reinforcements multiple times and have made contact with friendly local law enforcement. But much to our dismay, no one has agreed to aid us. We are leaving and heading to base. The mission was a failure."


The video seemed to end and start into the next one without pause. It showed Shoujax in the captains chair and the others sitting on the bridge. Everyone looked battleworn. Some more than others though. Shoujax was the first to talk.

The video cut once more and this time the group was inside the bunker, where the ship currently is now. Shoujax was in the middle of giving off orders to the others as they departed the vessel, "-and make sure we get the intel on that thing in our system. That wasn't any demon nor Heartless I have ever seen and I want to make sure tha-"

"DYNAMIC ENTRY!!!" Someone came out of the shadows and dealt a massive knee into Shoujaxs' side, knocking both men over the side and tumbling over one another before the attacker jumped to his feet and hefted Shoujax up eith ease. " Looking good, Shoujax! Even if you look like you've been suckin' face with a blender." There wasn't a response from the prince. "Ara? Did I go overboard again?"

The cat-girl smacked this stranger on the back of his head and he looked at her. She huffed at him and he gave her a sheepish grin. "You always go overboard with him! You see him all the time but you still insust in-"

The video cut off again to show the group in the infirmary. Everyone was talking at once and nothing could be made out. Again, the video skipped, but still nothing could be made out until a stout woman with a very pregnant belly walked in. She shouted once and everyone looked at her in fear.

"......The baby......"

Immediately, everyone rushed into action. Several different times the video skipped, and each time it showed the same group but in different locations around the laboring mother. The man that dove in on Shoujax was holding the womans hand. It didn't calm down even when Shoujax and one of the earlier men took the father out of the room, both having grim expressions as he screamed for his lovers embrace.

"Kiryu, no! No! Please!" As soon as Shoujax had a firm hold of this man, the other gentlemen closed the door. Shoujax held onto the man in a tight embrace as he wept. "Not her.... not now...." Was all that could be made out.

The video skipped again to show Shoujax and the man in another room. The mans face was still drenched and puffy from crying harshly, but still he smiled. And in his hands was a baby girl.

"I can't stay, cousin. You know I have to leave to go find the others." Shoujax said softly. "We have to go first thing in the morning.... Alika, we may have another problem than just the Heartless and Nobodies."

The man, Alika, looked up from his sleeping daughter. "What do you mean?"

Shoujax shifted in his stance, then he went and sat down in the chair next to him and gave Alika a serious look. "My team just encountered something that we... we couldn't...." Shoujax looked away for a moment as if to find the words.

"Do I need to take up my axe again, cousin?" Alika asked softly. Shoujax closed his eyes and slowly nodded. His cousin sighed. "You remember the last time I held that axe? I almost-" The words choked him and Shoujax reached over and clasped his hand on his cousins shoulder, as if to silence him. They exchanged a look and Alika nodded. "I know... There's nothing I can do to bring her back.... But... I can make sure that our kids are ready to take our place."

"Are you ready for this? Parenthood is tough."

"Like you're one to talk. Your wife is still pregnant with-" Alikas words were cut off as the video skipped.

Now, the video showed Shoujax and his group back on the ship.... but no one laughed. No one cheered. And there wasn't any joy in the air.


The video skipped one last time to Shoujax in what appeared to be his private quarters. He had a screwdriver in one hand and some kind of drill in the other. He flipped the camera about so it faced him and he sighed.

"What is it with this thing? Well.... Since its recording. I might as well get something off my chest."


There was a pause as Shoujax shifted slightly in his seat. "I'm only going to say this once.... and if by any chance I go missing or die before meeting my kids.... Adam... Eve.... I o-o-only a-ask tha-"

Zeke pounded the screen and instantly electricity surrounded his hands as he went to work again. "Not on my watch!"


He grit his teeth, knowing what he would have to do. Zeke placed one hand on the screen and one on the keyboard then used Mechanized Warfare on the two of them to hack into the mainframe and power the video himself. He felt his energy depleting, but he had to make sure that Adam and Eve hear their fathers message.

Because he would want to hear his fathers voice once more if he could.


"-only ask that you don't hate me for it. It's not the responsible thing to do as a father, I know. But I'll have my reasons if I do. More than likely, you'll try and go search for me.... Don't. You kids will have to have your own adventure, one that will be far better than my own. Unless you run into someone like Coco, then its going to be a little strange."

"Hey!" A voice called from out of view and Shoujax laughed.

"I'm just kidding. But, in all seriousness.... Don't look for me. I may be your father, but I'm just another guy in the end. I've made mistakes and I-"

Zeke coughed and blood poured from his mouth. He gasped for air then powered the devices again.

"-and I know that you will too. Thats why I only ask for you to not to look for me. I don't want my journey to be yours. I don't want my choices.... to affect you-"



Zeke collapsed and the screen blacked out. The young redhead laid on the ground unmoving, but breathing heavily. And labored.

"......ow......"

Everyone seemed to want to go to the ship to watch the videos right away so with a small sense of accomplishment Adam took his can of juice with him and walked with everyone down to the ship. He made a quick stop by his futon to grab the Key to the Ship thinking that it might come in handy and threw it into his pocket. Once there, Eve took no hesitation in getting right to the point already asking Reginald right off the bat for the videos. At least Daemon was nice enough to say hello. ”Morning Daemon, and Morning to you too Eve. My goodness I know these tapes would be important but that’s rather getting right to the point.” Reginald waved back at Daemon curtly while taking out another holographic cig and lit it. Maka and Squire seemed to take interest as well seeing as there was a full house in the room. Ezekiel started to set up the video as Reginald set up the main screen to play. He would project himself off to the side so the screen could be focused on.

Finally, Adam would get to see more about his Father. This was always sensitive between him and Eve, but he needed to know more about their father. ”You know, I didn’t know that Shoujax had old videos on the ship. He never mentioned anything of it.”

”Well let’s see what all the fuss is about then shall we?”

The video would start to play, only for it to immediately cut out. With a groan, Zeke would hit the mainframe of the ship to get it started again. ”Hey! I can easily fix the feedback. No need to hit me geez.” A huff was let out and the A.I immediately fixed the stream to show a clearer picture and the video would once more play. Everyone would watch closely as to not miss anything. At first, Shoujax appeared and was trying to explain the situation of what seemed to be a status report. In the background were two people who he had never seen before fighting some sort of creature. It was too far in the back to have been made out though. All they knew was that the mission was a failure.

The video skipped and it went to where they were, in the current bunker. Shoujax was giving orders to someone when someone came out of nowhere and kicked Shoujax right in the gut, sending him flying. To this Kawika just facepalmed while Squire chuckled. ”He was always so energetic that one.”

”Of course he was. Our leader had to be.”

”Your leader?” Who was Squire referring too? Adam was curious now and wanted to ask questions but the video kept on playing so he paid attention back to that for now. Everything seemed to be merry when a pregnant lady walked into the room clearly about to be in labor. Everyone seemed to be in panic then the video skipped again. Shoujax and the man from before were conversing and seemed to be having a heavy talk. The video cut and cut again until it was just Shoujax by himself. He looked depressed but began to speak. Adam listened carefully as this next part seemed to be addressed to him and Eve.

”And if by any chance I go missing or die before meeting my kids . . . Adam . . . . Eve . . . I o-o-o-o-only ask t-t-t-ha-“

”H-hey what’s going on? This isn’t funny guys.” Adam was starting to get a bit frustrated, the video couldn’t end, not now.

”The data, this last segment is corrupted, almost as if it doesn’t exist. It’s missing the core components to complete the segment. I’ll do everything I can to keep it playing.”

”NOT ON MY WATCH!!!” Zeke suddenly put his hands on the screen and the keyboard as a sudden burst of power came from Zeke. Adam didn’t understand what was happening but the video was playing again. Shoujax spoke about not being a responsible father, having his reasons, and saying how he knew they would go after him. Then he said not to. That they needed to have their own adventures. But Adam didn’t care about any of that. He made a quick joke about his cat companion but got serious again.

" But, in all seriousness.... Don't look for me. I may be your father, but I'm just another guy in the end. I've made mistakes and I-" The video stopped again as Zeke paused, only this time he coughed up blood.

”Z-zeke?”

”Don’t do it boy! You’re pushing yourself too hard!”

But Zeke wouldn’t listened and continued for one final push.

"-and I know that you will too. Thats why I only ask for you to not to look for me. I don't want my journey to be yours. I don't want my choices.... to affect you-"

Then nothing. Zeke fell over and was lying flat on the ground. A soft “ow” was let out by him as Adam started at the blank screen. ”No. That can’t be it.” There would be a short silence after he spoke. No one wanted to say anything. ”Zeke, you can try again right? There, there needs to be more.”

"That was it Adam. There is no more data. The rest is either corrupted beyond repair or is missing way too many segments, which is why it was skipping earlier. That’s it.”

”No. No no no no no. There must be more.”

”Adam . . .”

”THAT CAN'T BE IT!" The sudden outburst from the frustrated boy set a tense mood in the air. Tears were starting to form in his eyes. "That can't be . . .it." It was then that a new voice came and spoke to Adam only this time everyone would be able to hear it.

"Adam, you must calm yourself." Stars began to form around Adam. Tiny ones that would twinkle in the light. The starts would twinkle more as a figure began to take shape. Then out of this air a while glowing wold with blue tattooed markings all over his body would appear. It was Adam's summon Wey-Lin.

"This just isn't fair . . ."

"I know Adam, and I can feel your frustration, but you need to calm down. You're startling everyone." The wolf would look over to Eve and gesture at her, hoping that she would take cue and try to comfort Adam. As for the boy himself he would look up and rub his eyes. Wey-lin would move a bit to the side so Adam could speak.

"I . . . I'm sorry guys. I'm just, so frustrated. I've spent so long, looking forward to something like this. I spent a lot of time training. Doing everything I can to reach this point. And it just, its frustrating knowing that it isn't anyone's fault but that the data was corrupted." The boy would wipe his eyes more and sniffle his nose and he would look to Ezekiel and offer him a hand. "Thank you Zeke. I don't know what you did back there, but you helped us watch more than what was possible. So thank you, I mean it." There was a teary eyed smile on his face as his hand was extended to the downed teen. Assuming that Zeke would take his hand, Adam would help to pull Ezekiel up but the moment that they would both be on their feet an electrical shock would spark though Adam's body and cause him to suddenly jolt up a bit. "Aye!"

"Adam?? Are you alright?"

"Y-yeah I'm fine. That was just really weird is all. There was a spark that went off when I touched Zeke but I don't know why." Suddenly, the Key that was in Adam's pocket began to glow. The light was strong enough that it was visible though the material of his pants. Slowly, the angle reached into his pocket and took it out, the light now brighter without anything to shadow the light.

"I'm detecting a strong signal coming from the Key, also new data fragments. Adam, try inserting the Key into the mainframe again, we might be able to recover the old data." Wasting no time after hearing that, Adam easily found the slot where the Key could be inserted and put it in. Loud data sounds could be heard as the engines to the ship suddenly roared to life. Beeping and what not was heard, almost as if the ship was being rebooted once more. The main screen flashed back to life and a new file popped up on the monitor. "It's a video file." A genuine look of shock was on Adam's face. Was this really happening? "I'm going to play it."

Adam nodded, ready for what was to come. The wolf took a comfortable position and sat himself down as the new video began to play.

There was a new scene. Shoujax was in his room again, although he was wearing a simple Grey shirt and some jeans. His face was in his palms as he sat down on a chair, his elbows resting on his knees. It was just him posing like this for a few seconds, his spiky hair looking odd from this angle. Finally a deep breath was taken and he looked up into the camera. He looked...different. age had gotten the better of him. It was clearly visible by the jawline being more defined, and the 5 o clock shadow being heavy. A grizzly old man was sitting there in the chair, his face with a look of defeat on it. "I can't believe this thing still works. You're the only thing still alive and kicking huh? Heh. How amusing." a weak chuckle was let out as the man began to speak. "I don't know how much longer this ancient recorder is gonna hold kuch longer, so I'll make this brief. Adam. Eve. I know the two of you are watching this. Both of you should have turned 15 a few months ago, and Make would have told you the truth. Well, most of it anyhow. And knowing Adam, he will want to search me out, with of course his protective sister following foot." Again a chuckle was let out. "I won't make excuses like how I did in those older videos which I hope you never get to see, although it you, then I'm sorry. I know nothing will change your minds from wanting to seek me out. After all, it's in our blood. Family always comes first, which the both of you will probably call me a hypocrite for. 'If family came first then why did you leave all those years ago dad?' It's because of family that I left. There was a danger, a danger so great, a threat so massive and devious that I needed to leave home to fight against it. I couldn't allow my children to fight in a war. No. Anything but that. And even to this day, this evil still exists out there. I've made many sacrifices to keep the two of you safe. Years of abandonment, but I realise that I was over protective. Hell, when I was your age, I was already fighting on the front lines of a war. But I didn't want that for you."

There was a short pause as Shoujax looked into the camera thinking of what to say next. "So I'm not going to stop you. No, not anymore. If you want to learn the truth, if you want to get drawn into the world that I live in, then so be it. Both of you will be sixteen by the time you watch this. I'll help you. You'll be given a good ship. Oh and an A.I that I've been working on. His name is R.E.G.I.N.A.L.D. Hopefully, you'll have a few friends with you as well. But I won't tell you where I am." This came as a shock to Adam. Why do all of this for them, yet not say where they are? "That would be too easy now wouldn't it. There is one last thing I have to say. Why I'm changing my mind. I'm done with running away. I...am a coward. I've been running this entire time. From my fears. See, I have a dark past I hope you two never learn of. But if the day should come that you learn of it...pleaee make the right decision. If I hadn't run on that night...then your mother.....she....she would have..." That sentence was never finished as the man chocked on his words. Tears that formed were quickly wiped away as Shoujax found the right words again.

"Adam. Eve. I do hope that the two of you will one day under stand why did the things that happened. And if ever meet again, maybe then we can sir down and catch up. Heh. Right, as if that would happen." A final sigh came out, but there was a smile on his face, a genuine one. "Be proud of the Alexian blood that you carry within you. If you really want to find me, or want to know the truth about the angel blood you have, the you two must return home. To your true home, my home land. A far of place called Alexa Island. There you can find the truth. But along the way, if you ever reach the Dawnbreaker, go there as well. More of the truth about myself will be there as well along with the mamy secrets of B.R.A.W.L. Now, whatever you decide know this: You are special, and the two of you will always be my children. I will always love you even if you do not love me. And I will not rest until this evil has been defeated. So uh. Until next time I suppose. Laters." There was a short salute with his right hand then the screen went blank as the video turned off.

Silence.

No one said anything, not even Kawika of Squire. Wey-lin looked like he wanted to say something but held his tongue. It would be Reginald that would break the silence. "That's the end of the video Adam. I. That was a lot to take in. Are you alright? Adam? Eve?" There would be no response from Adam. Just more silence. There would be a surprised look on his face. He just stood there, trying to take everything at once. If anyone tried to speak to him he would not respond unless he was physically shaken to which he would finally snap out of it and reply with a simple

"H-huh? Oh. Sorry. That was . . . A lot to take in."

Eve remained silent as they watched the videos. Even when Zeke began to help the videos along, she had nothing to say. He jaw clenched, the fists pale from how tight they were gripping onto her legs, she could feel tears forming in her eyes. But not heart break or regret or guilt. Anger. Pure ranging anger that burned in the bottom of her stomach like the pits of Hell and boiled her blood. She didn't listen to what anyone else was saying, she just watched the screen as the man who abandoned her and her brother for so long displayed his life to them. How dare he. How dare he make these logs for them to find. How dare he try to tell them that his life had been hard, as if that justified him making their lives hard. She had never felt this angry before in her life. It was a new sensation for her. She could hear that irritating deep voice in the back of her head whispering obscenities about her father, about these videos, and she only agreed. She was getting lost in these words when suddenly her brother's yelling snapped her back into reality.

The videos were over. Their father had the audacity to tell his children not to look for him, and then there was nothing. She watched as Adam began to yell and tear up, leaving the room tense and silent. Before long Wey Lin appeared, trying to calm his angel companion with soothing words and advice. But when he looked to Eve to come and comfort her brother, Eve hesitated. She stared at the two of them, still too angry to even speak. She looked to the floor, staying right where she was, ignoring the wolf companion. Ada seemed to have calmed down now anyway. She didn't need to comfort him now.

Angered by her inability to help her brother and the selfish words of her father. Eve turned and began to leave the control room. The air was toxic with despair and tension and she couldn't take it any more.

"It's a video file."

Eve stopped in her tracks as she reached the doorway, realising that this wasn't over yet. As she heard the video, she refused to turn and watch the screen. Shoujax sounded tired and gruff. When he mentioned the twins turning fifteen, she realised that this was a fairly recent video. This was Shoujax's one chance to redeem himself in Eve's eyes. She held her breath and listened to his worn-out words.

"But I won't tell you where I am. That would be too easy, now wouldn't it?"


How dare he. How dare he make his children go on a treasure hunt for the father that was never there in the first place. Eve's anger kicked in again, stronger than ever. Like an explosion in her gut that made her want to scream. But she bit her tongue, knowing it was important to let Adam watch this video the whole way through. She wanted to kill her father. She wanted to tear his guts out and drag them across the floor of the precious ship he "so thoughtfully" gave them. The mention of their mother only made things worse for Eve. She had always blamed Shoujax for the death o their mother. If he hadn't left, he would have been able to care for her the in a way two children never could. She would maybe still be here today.

And then the video finished, and silence fell across the room. Eve bit into her cheek, her breathing heavy and her mind in the darkest state it had ever known. She ignored Reginald, believing she could still remain calm. But suddenly, as if she didn't have control of herself for a moment, Eve turned round violently and screamed at the screen before Adam could finish his sentence. As she let out a battle cry full of hate and rage, a green flame in the shape of a sphere formed in her hand and with all her strength, she threw it at the screen that just moments ago had her father on it. The flames exploded out as they crashed into the screen's glass, causing the surface to shatter as shards of glass fell to the floor.

She stared for a moment at the broken screen and the damage she had just caused, her chest violently rising and and falling with each deep but hurried breath and her face bright red as the blood rushed around her body. Her heart beat throbbed from inside her head as she clenched her jaw so tight she thought her teeth might shatter like the screen. Without saying a word, she turned and stormed off, hoping that no one would follow her.

"Well, that was dramatic." Daemon snarked as Eve walked out. All that he'd seen had been quite a bit to take in, but Daemon thought he better understood the dynamic of this angel-family. But...now there were new questions being raised. He'd heard mutterings from the people around the city about some war, but Daemon could never get any details. And it sounded like some serious shit was happening in this universe. A part of Daemon's mind was saying that he should definitely prioritize getting the hell out of this universe and back to his own, but his knowledge of comic book multiverse rules told him that if this threat was big enough, it would probably follow him. So, he should probably sort things out here and get some answers.

"Adam, go after your sister, you two need to talk." Daemon ordered his friend to attend to family matters. He may not be the captain of this ship, but he was the adult among the three, and felt that he was going to either fill the role of big brother or the team dad. Assuming Adam went after his sister, Daemon then turned to Zeke and Kawika. "Okay, I've got some questions. I'm not sure if this was clear yet, but I come from a completely different universe, and don't know much about 'current events'. Now, from those videos I gather some kind of big war is going on, and I'd like to know what it's all about so I can know how I can help.

Rogue was wandering the halls of the Star with her siblings running circles around her feet. She decided to take a chance and stay in her humanoid form for once without Ezekiel nearby.

'Gods he can be so annoying at times..... Why did his mother task me of all-' She thought before Rous jumped up, forcing Rogue to catch her. The pink kitsune licked her elder sister happily before nuzzling into her neck. Rogue lost all thought in that single act. Sure, she wasn't as powerful as their parents, but Rogue and her siblings would be able to do more that they could since they had the one thing they didn't: A host.

Suddenly, the air became chilled and all laughter stopped. The five looked at one another as they felt in unison Zeke using his own life force to do something. Rogue dropped Rous and ran towards the bridge with the Zurr, Rous, Blanq, and Rillo close on her heels as she shouted, "Zeke! You idiot!"






Zeke wasn't fully there as the next video played. His vision was dull and his hear was muffled. He felt like someone took a set of earmuffs and goggles on him without his knowledge. Normally, he wouldn't have a problem with this..... if he was welding or smithing. But here? Now?

He was not a happy cam-

BOOM! Something just smacked into something and it sounded like glass. Odd, the only thing that nearby made of glass it the- SLAM! Now that something fell onto Zeke, and it felt like heavy. His senses kicked into high gear and his powers hit the roof and back as he screamed in pain from it. Then the impossible happened: The screen popped to life to show Zekes vitals just before it deconstructed and fused into him.

Zeke took a shaky breath then got to his feet. His senses were still sharpened, like he was finally seeing things in color for the first time.

In fact, it was.


".....Did she just hit that screen with a fire ball and-"

"Okay, I've got some questions." Daemon started, and Zeke slowly felt his irritation spike. This guy was all business and no emotion. "I'm not sure if this was clear yet, but I come from a completely different universe, and don't know much about 'current events'. Now, from those videos I gather some kind of big war is going on, and I'd like to know what it's all about so I can know how I can help."

Zeke looked over to Squire, and they exchanged curious looks. Then Squire gave Zeke a slight nod before Ezekiel scratched the back of his head. "Multi-dimensional theory has existed for more than many years now. It popped up around the same time probability came into being. But, you're a smart guy. I'm more than sure you already knew this..... As to how you got here, that's a story for a different time.... As to the war.... Yeah. Shoujax and his gang have been battling these things for a good... well. Since before I was born, really. That video.... The one before I dropped.... That was about three or four years before the twins were born." Zeke paused.

"If he's out there... whether he's telling us to not go after him or not, I don't give a damn. We're going after him. And if he has anything against it, tough cookies. Just ask Sam. I never followed rules to begin with. I'm almost twenty. Not gonna start now." Zeke gave a trademark devilish grin then looked at Reginald. "Tomorrow morning. zero-five-hundred hours. We're hightailing it outta here and heading to the latest point we have on his genetic signature. I'll bust out a badass scanner then run a few tests with my own make-up before I ask Adam and Eve. In the mean time, finish that report.... oh and... I think this-" The screen slowly formed on Zekes arm as he placed it back onto its proper spot, repairing it like he was easy as buttering toast. -might help us all in the long run."
