Usurping Lies and Truth

Ever since the events of Daed Space, the once fabled Team Cibarron of the UUF, turned on them for truly being a gang of crazed UIS haters after Stryke has seen Godchaux as the cowerdly fraudulent lier and irresponsible moronic risk taker he was, and that he was actselly the accomplished loser of his spieces. As a result, UIS started to have less of a hard time quielling UUF resistence with Stryke gone, the forces too demoralised without his presence, as Godchaux was helpless to stop UUF's downfall and was forced to save himself and abandon everyone! However, Stryke and the gang would then discover clues that may lead to a darker truth. It lead them to Stryke's home planet, which is on a noticeable recovery from when a crazed overlord was allowed to destroy the planet. However, he began to discover evidence that the attack wasn't as what it seemed. This was when he met with the fellow endling of the Sectomites, Sir Hadron, who while processing the nepolian complex of a certain Cragmite, he actselly has the deeper good heart of Electross, albeit also being a bit of a pompous jerk since the first encounter with Stryke and gang was rather rough with his various collections of mercenary Graggs and Empesions all pointing their weapons at them. Hadron would proceed to explain that UIS's particular actions are not out of intended malice but because of what everyone already knows, safeguarding independence and to protect them from being ruined by being dependent of a force that has clearly shown to fail before. Hadron brought up that the races UIS "Wronged" or "Subugated" would've been worse for wear had they allowed themselves to get involved with the USRA races, not just with the VA being able to show up and do those terrorable things anyway, but because some USRA race members are not exactly relieable or trust-worthy folk that would sooner take advantage of their dashed potaintional then how UIS doesn't allow it. But when Stryke brought up that UIS were why an unknown overlord were allowed to destroy his race, Hadron reveiled that neither his race or the Ombers were actselly destroyed. The two were actually going to be UIS's atempts to have native enforcers to better regulate the isolated systems to embrace their independence through them. But the Aggressor Empire came and banished Hadron's people to another dimension before they had the chance, and would do the same to the Ombers when they tried to warn UIS. But when Stryke brought up his parents, Hadron explained that it was because they inadvertingly betrayed UIS by trying to contact outside forces for help. Hadron explained that because of that betrayal, it gave UIS the false impression that the Isolated Systems can't be trusted to embrace independence and that they have to be forceful for the Isolated Systems own sake. Then Stryke brought up Godchaux, of which Hadron said that Godchaux actselly already knew the truth from the Aggressors, who promised him a chance to finally not be a loser to his race if he convinces people that the isolated races have to stand up to UIS as per another Aggressor plot against UIS as a means to have a kingpin plan even should the Agressor Empire fall. With the truth discovered, Stryke and his team need to make the truth known to the Isolated Universes and get them to make peace with UIS. But most of all, they need to get the Ombers and the Sectomites back. But while Stryke and the team share the good things they did, they got ambushed by Godchaux and a collection of once again returning UIS haters, Dr. Hack Knee, Dr. Meanwell, Smurf, Slimebag, Steve S. Cumbag, S'oul, Brasson, Baneoson, Sir Urine, Hagro, Com P. Leteidiot, H'eart, Azzwipe, Jirk, Laqullag, Carlos, Boozy, Sir Charlo and Duunce, and finally, the returning Vavoss himself. Vavoss intends to imprison the last two, plus the team for good measure, into the same dimention as Vavoss plans the ultamate path to defeat UIS, murdering the Yaterons' leader and frame it as an act of a UIS assassination. But the Lougers and the HA arrived just in time and saved Stryke, his team and Hadron and escaped! Now, the heroes need to get to the other members of UUF and expose them the truth and make a coralation to put Vavoss and the UIS hater gang down HARD! Can our heroes succeed, but most of all, can Stryke be able to correct a long standing injustice against his people by the real enemy of the Isolated Systems?

Stories

• Future Boy Contac- Stryke tells how the team got stranded on a planet called Caspo, where they discover a plot from a traitorous brother of the UUF's Epsilon-6 Commander, a corporatocratic mastermind named Lepshur who is aiming to find secrets to a power solar energy source to take over what's left of the planet after it's apocalyptic war by kidnapping the inventor's daughter Leah. With unintentional help from unlikely friends like a semi-feral child named Contac, they must stop Lepshur once and for all.
• Captain Darelock- Click tells how they met a very eccentric risk-taking Captain Harlock-style pirate named Capitan Darelock who was in Morlad territory aiming to take down a Morladian pirate named CPT-RUST who was the best pirate in UIS territory who was almost beaten by his father. With CPT-RUST seeking a bankrupting heist that could make UUF and UIS battles problematic, the team must stop him with Darelock and his crew.
• Ranking the Rankan- Eps tells how an isolated race called the Rankans were rescued by them. The Rankans are supportive of both the USRA and UIS, and wish more than anything to get them to find peace. But they have been doing this since the beginning and thus one Rankan, General Stagnus, hearing all the failure of making that ambition come true, grows impatient and devises a plan of chaos and suffering to make it happen with help from Weaponsky firepower from Forom Fome. With a plan like this threatening the balance of the USRA and UIS, the team has to stop Stagnus from a plot that could be the downfall of the UUF.
• Spacean Space- Ponder tells how they got stuck in the Spae Laetus Nebula, a space of breathable atmosphere, as they discover that it's expanding, and space itself is changing. Outer space is now breathable, weightlessness is more controllable, and so on. This is because the native race, the Spaceans, have a new leader that dubs himself Leader Xodis. But in truth of this seemingly ambitious attempt, he is actually aiming to take over the AUU after seeing how tangible matter is to his race. His actions soon grow unfavorable as planets and celestial bodies begin getting affected negatively. After learning that Xodis entombed his true leader brother in a space tomb to make this happen, the team has to expose the truth before the AUU is reshaped.
• Going to Geo- Flick tells how they ended up in an uncharted planet called Geo, where they discover that the native race, the Geons, are a race of sentient gems that don't support neither UIS, USRA, or even the UUF, and aims to assimilate worlds and purge them of life to make their own empire. But a new ninth member of the 8 Crystals of the Great Crystal Government, Blood Crystal, is aiming to take this to the next level and invade inhabited worlds more proactively, including worlds of those to UIS, USRA, and UUF. Thus the team must enlist help from rogue rebelling members of their kind, the Live Geons, to save countless worlds from Blood Crystal.
• Welcome to Tholotune- Qoria tells how the team discovered her true identity as a Gametean when they took a visit to the planet of Tholotune, a historical colony of the Watans before being colonized by the Bloshans, who are actually planning to restore the Watan ruins with help from a Skepticen scientist named Dr. C'reep, the same scientist who turned Qoria into a robot. The Gameteans were a stagnant race of coral alien beings that isolated themselves after their territory was claimed by the UIS "against their will" and C'reep was in charge of keeping them from joining the UUF when some Gameteans were hostile to the new management and were equilly punished with botification. But Qoria wanted to leave and go voyaging and was turned into a robot by C'reep as punishment. In retaliation for this, Qoria accidentally endangered the Bloshans and her own kind by putting C'reep into a coma sabotaging his project, along with that Qoria's people actselly willingly accepted C'reep's rule because he was creating a cure for a madness decease that makes Gameteans unreasonably violent that would destroy their socity and turn them into destructive hostile races if this is left unchecked, thus C'reep robotitised the violent ones to reign in the deceses until a cure is made, of which he was actselly close to. Thus, apawn making UUF look like basturds when a group of infected Gameteans see this as a oppertunity to spread the madness deciese, she has to fix her own mess and free C'reep of his coma, even more so when a very successful Vyran UIS agent named Agent Chomp responds to arrest her and the team, even if it means sacrivicing some payback against C'reep.
• Hell On Sectomos- A recent story taking place after Daed Space, Beazley tells how they went to the Sectomite home planet of Sectomos to find clues on where to find the planet Stryke was denied information on. But the clues were obscured by a very stubborn UIS Empesion agent named Wasley, Beazley's brother who found out about her actions and refuses to allow them the clues and seeks to arrest the team. But both Wasley and Beazley both found themselves caught up in the web of another Anti-UIS group known as Devastation Annexers, who were also a multi-racial group, as they aimed to revive Meteor Missles ever since the ban on them, of which the two were forced to team up when the D.A. threaten Sectomos for it's strong UIS support.

Scenes

Crumble of Usurpia

Usurpia.

• The UUF council was in an extreme uproar, along side the Brass Generals, as CIC Godchanx was at the center of it all, drinking himself stupid with alcahol.
• Headmaster: "EVERYONE CALM DOWN?! (Silence)...... I know the rather, disterbing, events of Daed System, has really dishearten us all..... (Angerly) And how it is Godchanx's fault?! (Less angerly as possable) And how cause of him, Stryke and Team Cibarron, have left us. Our group's morale is at a severe all time low, members are dropping like flies, Our Orana base allowed itself to be completely swallowed by the GCU, to completely disavow our group, our other strong members are considering complete leave of the UUF, The Isolated Systems basicly hate us even more now, which topped the Tyrannzin fiasco, The Meteor Missle Situation in the Littid's Systems, and the still painful accsidental assassination of the Terman President. BUT NOW, WHAT HAPPENED IN DAED SYSTEM, WAS WHAT CROSSED THE LINE?! UIS, is already on their way, to finish off our group, once and for all! Thanks to Godchanx's incompidence....... Our dreams, of uniting with the grander communities, are dead?! We are DOOMED, to isolation?! Future generations, will never get to be embraced by the promises of the NUSRA?! Never to enjoy being apart of something better?! The Universes, will forever feel..... Smaller, cause of it."
• CIC Godchanx: "(Hic), Look, guys, I said I was sorry!"
• Headmaster: "SORRY, CAN'T REVERSE WHAT HAS BEEN REAPED?! Our manifest-destinies, can no longer happen, THANKS TO YOU?! Our failure to stand up to UIS, alongside that of non-UUF UIS Dispising groups, will discourage future would-be uprisers against UIS and make them reconsider quickly about standing up to them and bring change and only go as far to just being critical to them?! And thus, with the USRA races and UIS ACTSELLY starting to befriend eachother, with the USRA races RESPECTING UIS' STANCES, that means the number of those that know better, will be drumaticly redused?! And with such USRA race members already being drumaticly taken down at each passing day, that isn't very encouraging?! We, will never, get to bathe in the light of the USRA promises! Oppertunities lost to us?! ALL BECAUSE YOU KEPT TAKING STUPID RISKS?!"
• CIC Godchanx: "(Hic), In my defence, if those Lougers haven't caused Click to distrupt the assassination, things would've been different?!"
• Headmaster: "WELL MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T'VE TRIED TO HAVE THE UIS LEADERS ASSASSINATED TO BEGIN WITH?! Sure, three of them I'm not exactly crazy for, but at least the Grandmind TRIES to do good! We should've instead just focus on destroying the isolation projects and then spread quickly into the grander communities as much as possable, so it can't be so easy for UIS to basicly pull the same shit they did to the Aujas?! We could've earned USRA sympathy and get them to push UIS back?! INSTEAD, IT'S CONSTENT ACTS OF TERRORISUM AND CRIMES THAT ONLY SERVE TO DAMNATE OUR NAME TO PEOPLE?! ALSO, I JUST REALISED THAT BEING CALLED THE "UNITED USURPATION FORCE", DOESN'T DO US ANY FAVORS?!"
• CIC Godchanx: "I was (Hic), I was confused on what the extra U could've meant! Also, tecnecally it fits because we are trying to undermine UIS soverenty and all, so-"
• Headmaster: "We'd heard enough, you mistake?! As of now, you will be booted out, we'll disban the UUF on our own terms, wait for sometime to pass for UIS to get comfirtable, and then reband a new resistence against UIS, AND DO IT RIGHT?! ALL IN FAV- (Alarms blared)........"
• CIC Godchanx: "(Chuckles drunkly), Guess it's alittle too late for that! (Singalongly) They're HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRE!"
• Silence......
• The Entire Council and Brass break into chaos as members began to panic crazly, as the drunken Godchanx began to drunkenly leave as the council and brass members are too panicy to realise as Godchanx was leaving, as he got to the exit, closed the door, and used a security clearence to lock the panicers in....
• CIC Godchanx: "(Drunkenly laughs!) HOW YA LIKE ME NOW, ASSHATS! (Walks off)...."

John Williams - Anakin's Betrayal (Star Wars Soundtrack) HD

• As drumatic music was heard, UIS ships arrived from hyperspeed and entered the planet, as Usurpian Denizens began to enter a panic!
• Britney, Jadence, and the other strong members got out and saw the ships.....
• Captain Charge: "..... Folks..... I be a'thinking it be time to leave Usurpia..... NOW?!"
• Jadence: "FOLLOW ME?! QUICKLY?! (The group escaped into the alleys)!"
• UIS Armies began to be beamed and dropped down as armies of UIS forces surround the city and the Hall of Unity!
• UUF Soldiers began to get scared at the arriving UIS forces......
• UUF Soldier leader: "Uh, uh, uh, SCREW THIS, THE UUF'S DEAD?! RUN?!"
• The Soldiers cower away and ran as UIS armies charged forth!
• UIS Forces began to break and destroy every piece of UUF tec in the city, as the panicing crowds are quelled by Brainiacaazk mind-benders, pasifying them and gaining order.
• Any remainder of brave defence forces are quickly brought down by the UIS onslaught one-sidedly.
• Escaping crowds that managed to get through city gates are suddenly met with ice walls as it was seen that Crystormains were making a giant wall to cut off escapes!
• Paniced Denizen: "WE'RE TRAPPED?!"
• The attempted escaping crowd were quickly flanked by UIS persuers, forcing a surrender!
• In the Hall Tower, the Protcean Princess looked on sadly, seeing the fall of what she tried to create, as she closed her eyes to shed a tear, as UIS Leaders have teleported behind her.......
• Protcean Princess: "...... I only wanted the isolated systems to be happy...... I, had never meant, for this madness......."
• Grandmind gave a sympathic sigh....
• Grandmind approuched her and gave her a sympathic touch.......
• Grandmind: ".... Do not see this as the end, princess....... Try to see this, as a chance for a rebirth. A chance for a better future, not ruled by should'ves, could'ves and would'ves...... A chance for the Isolated Systems, to not try to assimulate to what the grander community has done..... But to become their own socities......"
• The Protcean Princess, gave a small smile, honorably accepting defeat.
• In the shipyard, would be escape ships are seen being dismantled by UIS probes, as Jadence and Group saw that.....
• Piper: "..... Weeeeeeellllll shit. They REALLY want to make sure no escapes occure."
• Britiney: "Don't worry. Both me and my father have hidden escape ships within the Hall of Unity in an event of a needed quick escape! Follow me. (She leads the group off)."

Inside the Hall of Unity.

• Elite UUF Members were seen fighting with UIS and losing one-sidedly!
• Panicy Elite Member: "THEY'RE EVERYWHERE?! IT'S GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER?! (Gets shot-stunned by a UIS soldier Skorner)!"
• The Group were able to sneak by the battle un-noticed!

Hidden Shipyard.

• A door was kicked down as Jadence was seen having did a kangaroo kick and doing a sumersault afterwords!
• Nester: "LOOK?! BRITS, IT'S YOUR DAD?!"
• CIC Godchanx was seen clumsly climbing into one of the escape ships.
• Jadence: "..... He is not going to get away with this?!"
• Norton: "(Stops Jadence)...... His commupence will come. For now, we need to worry about our own escape."
• The group stood as Godchaux was able to enter the ship, and escape via a wormhole to a different part of the AUU.....
• The Group ran towords the one remaining ship left as they entered it, and leave in the same matter!

AUU Space.

• The Group's escape ship was seen gently flying in space.
• The Group were seen watching the UIS News.
• UIS Anchur 1: "As if a long time coming, UIS has finally realised the impourent goal of quelling the UUF rebelion, once and for all. Finally installing order to the Isolated Systems, with the capture of the UUF Council, their elite generals, and even the Protcean Princess of the side of the Protcean homeworld that still practice monarchy, whom she's a known backer of the group that was known to have openly supported the group, and now has been proven to be a closet founder of it. The Princess is expected to attend UIS trial, very soon."
• UIS Anchur 2: "Though UIS still has to seek out several key members to wrap up the UUF conflict for good: Stryke Cibarron, leader of the team that assassinated the Terman President on accsident and that of his colledges in Team Cibarron, the other strong fighters of the group, Brittany Godchaux, Captain Charge, Shiv Lecon, Nester Marxwell, Ray Matter, Zed Forgce, Arwin Sphaleron, Piper Dyscon, Marra Portce, Wade Wetmore, Jadence Rho Meson, and most concerningly still, the Commander-in-Chief of UUF, Phelpen S. Godchaux, the sham president of the Protcean race. But UIS are confident that it is only a matter of time before these individuals are found, and brought to UIS justice at long last. This is UIS Network News, promising to come back with the latest news of the Arseracer Event and more ongoing coverage of Daed System's recovery."
• Jadence turned off the screen........
• Brittany: I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE FATHER WOULD BETRAY US LIKE THAT!!!!
• Zed: He was drunk off his ass and was struck constantly with mistrust. The poor idiot was obviously out of his mind.
• Brittany: HE COULD'VE RESPECTED THE UUF'S WISHES AND NOT TAKE THEM SO HARD!!! He left us all to be arrested or executed all because everybody rightfully scolded him for his costly mistakes! He WALKED OUT ON US!!! EVEN HIS OWN DAUGHTER!!!! INEXCUSABLE!!!!
• Zed: Again, drunk, off, his, ass-
• Brittany: OH STOP TRYING TO DEFEND THAT TRAITOR!!!! I SAID INEXCUSABLE!!!! AS OF NOW, MY FATHER IS DEAD TO ME!!!!
• Shiv: Brittany, calm yourself before you do something you'll regret! Now, I know the 'being drunk' thing barely flies, but even if he wasn't, it would be hard for him to really wanna go down with people that did nothing but scold at him.
• Brittany: WHY?! THE COUNCIL AND THE BRASS I CAN UNDERSTAND NOT WANTING TO GO DOWN WITH, THEY WERE REALLY PUSHING THEIR ANGER ON HIM?! BUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE IN THE CITY, HE SHOULD'VE AT LEAST TRIED TO USE THE SHIP TO SAVE THEM, OR AT THE LEAST COME FOR ME?! BUT HE DIDN'T! MY FATHER BETRAYED EVEN HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD!!! I DON'T CARE IF HE WAS DRUNK, INTOXICATING HIMSELF WAS YET ANOTHER COSTLY MISTAKE THAT COST HIM HIS OWN DAUGHTER, IF NOT POTAINTIONALLY VITAL ORGANS?!... (Sobs and slammed the door behind her)...
• Ray:... Wow. I never thought poor Brittany could be so torn up.
• Marra: But she's right. Godchaux knew the risks of drinking would take more and destroy his ability to think straight. And because of that, he lost everything. Also, his fear of only being remembered as a loser drove him to make costly risks. Thus, UUF will be remembered in history as a tainted exsample of anyone trying to stand up to UIS, whereas the Lougers will be viewed as an exsample on how to deal with UIS peacefully. Which, admitingly, the fact UIS does even entertain their ideals, does make what the UUF was doing, even more pointless.
• Ray: Wouldn't you drink yourself stupid if everything was turning against you?
• Marra: Don't tell me how to think about myself and my life based on an 'if'! Life wasn't meant to be fair and he was a fool to think otherwise. Now we're lost.
• Zed: "Look, I'm sure he didn't meant to go without Britney."
• Marra: "Be that as it may, it is clear that Godchanx's own self-louthing, is stronger then any love he has for others. He allowed regret to rule him.... And it harmed us as a result.
• Captain Charge: "..... So now what?"
• Jadence: "..... We need to find Stryke, and make things right with the universes for what we did."
• Zed: "BUT HOW CAN WE FIND HIM?!"
• Piper: And how can we be sure they'll trust us again?
• Jadence: "The finding him part, admitingly, it will take alot of heavy guesses....... But the trust part?...... Look, it's one thing if it was the chief coming to him. But Stryke wouldn't distrust us. Granted, the other team members might be abit weary, Eps and Beazey espeically, with their, 'colorful' nature in mind, but Click is their guide and their robot-personification of commonsense. He'll peacekeep them from being stupid about us."
• Norton: And I reckon Jade and Stryke have feelings for each other.
• Jadence: I DO NOT!!!!
• Gorton: Come on, we could see all the signs.
• Marra: Yeah, you two obviously like like each other. It won't just be Click. But Stryke sees too much inside you to just turn you away, let alone do a Godchaux on you- (Brittany was heard crying hysterically)...
• Piper:... Yeah, you two obviously hit it off.
• Jadence: NAME ONE TIME!!!

Cutaway

• It was like this as Jadence and Stryke had an entire montage of slowly developing feelings for each other in comical scenarios)

ATHF PARTY !

Present

• Ray: (The entire montage was on the TV and was paused)... Wow...... Put the whole thing to rock music, huh?
• Jadence: "..... Okay, so, I happen to have abit of chemistry with the guy. But trust me that it is for a more major reason then that. Stryke is our best shot of doing something great enough that we're spared from facing a UIS trial and get the systems to forgive us."
• Norton: "..... Fair point."
• Zed: "But there's still the whole 'where they are' thing to worry about...."
• Jadence: "..... Stryke is likely still trying to find his parents.... So, he at the least himself would likely be in the Ombar homeworld."
• Charge: "But that's literally the first place UIS would expect him, and by extension, us, to be there. That planet will have patrols up the WAZOO there!"
• Jadence: "Tch, he was able to even successfully recon and record infomation, from litterally THE UIS HQ in Skeptis Minor, the most UIS heavy location in the universes. He might figure out ways to avoid patrols there."
• Marra: "There's also the matter that UIS will look for us as well, cause let's be clear. We had our own hands dirty of causing them problems."
• Jadence: "I know short-cuts to try and circumvent UIS patrols. I studied their patrol patterns enough that I know how they work."
• Piper: Oh, sure, but what do we do if they change up their patrols and do complete analysis so they won't be expected? Because they're good at taking strategists by surprise. They'll be expecting us to go looking for Team Cibarron wherever he goes and close off any possible location, and they'll ALSO be increasing security on hyperspace and/or trade routes, give large bounties with a substantial reward, and maybe even have snapshooter drones to fight and take pictures of us, or those rebounding portallers, android spies, literally anything that'll see us before we see them. UIS spares NO expense! Why else was every single UUF HQ taken down outside of our own bad luck or hostile natives, genius?! LET'S NOT FORGET THAT LITTERALLY ONE OF THE FOUNDING RACES ARE THE BRAINS?! THEY'RE HYPER-INTELLIGENT TELEPATHS?!
• Jadence:... (Sighs and shrugs) Alright, fair point. (Bangs her head on a wall) We're all totally f****d!! How are we supposed to find Stryke and his team if UIS will be pestering us in every corner?
• (Brittany): (From her room) JUST USE THE EMERGENCY TELEVATOR IN THE ESCAPE BUNKER TO GO TO NEW OMBERIA, THEN STOWAWAY ON THE TEAM'S SHIP THE REST OF THE TRIP, IDIOTS!!! IT'S LIKE, INCREDIBLY SIMPLE!
• Charge:...... (Did this)

FUCKING GENIUS

• Zed: "Yeesh, don't ya think ya over-reacted to that, Charge?"
• Charge: "Sorry. I'm abit out of it after what we just went through."
• (Brittany): AND ONLY AN IDIOT WOULD CALL A SIMPLE THING LIKE THAT GENIUS!!! IT'S LIKE A SOLDIER SAYING WINNING A WAR IS GENIUS!!! URAAAAAHHGHHHH!!!!! I'M SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS!!!
• Charge: BUT YOU'RE ALONE IN THERE!!
• (Brittany): URRAAAGHH!! (Shoots herself in the mouth with a stun gun knocking herself out as her unconscious body came out the door in front of them)
• Nester:...... (Checks her pulse)..... It's okay, she's only stunned.
• Ray: P***y. Shooting yourself with a stun gun is the second oldest coward's tactic in the book behind actual sueiside. But before anyone gets upset, I know we can't afford to lose anyone like her now, it's just, she's really taking the chief being an idiot very hard.
• Jadence: "Aren't we all?"

Preview: Future Boy Contac

Caspo

• Stryke: Ugh. That's the LAST time I let Charge fix the warp system.
• Click: Actually weren't you the one who overclocked the accelerator?
• Stryke: Whatever. Is everyone accounted for?
• Flick: Ouch.... Mostly. FINAL DIGIT OF PI IS- ERROR, ERROR, I AM A GRANANA!! (Powered down)
• Click: Oh dear.... Flick's out of commission.
• Eps: No s***, 08V10U5.
• Click: Care to elaborate more on that, I don't get i-..... HEY!
• Qoria: So where the heck are we?
• Stryke: Don't look at me, navigators are busted.
• Flick: (Spontaneously came back on) LOCATION: PLANET CASPO- (Goes offline)
• Stryke:... I don't know a planet like that. Anyone e- (He was kicked comically into a rock by two human feet)
• Beazley: WHAT THE- (They were all disarmed quickly before they could see the attacker and were tripped to the ground)
• Qoria: WHA- (She was kicked by the attacker)
• ???: (He was revealed to be a human child with a spear)... Which one of you is the leader?
• Stryke: (They all point at him)... Meep?
• Kid: Did Industrios send you? WHO ARE YOU, YOU FREAKS?!
• Stryke: GUYS, A LITTLE HELP HERE-
• Kid: NO!! (Points his spear at his neck) You're the leader. Take responsibility!!!
• Stryke: WE, WE'RE NOT HERE FOR TROUBLE, I SWEAR!!!!!
• Click: Wait a second....... Are you......... A human?
• Kid: What's it to you?
• Click: Your biology is a perfect match.... I thought the humans were gone.
• Kid: ARE YOU BIOSCANNING ME?! (Tosses a rock at him) I KNEW IT!!! INDUSTRIOS RUSTBUCKET!!!!
• Stryke: KID, LOOK, THIS IS A BIG MISUNDERSTANDING!!!! We crash-landed here completely by accident!!!! We don't know who these 'Industrios' guys are!
• Kid: I'm NOT, a kid!! I'm just... Malnourished into dwarfism. But that doesn't matter. I won't fall for their lies!! (The others got into combat before the kid pulled out a shark tooth knife onto Stryke's neck) NO! One-step and your leader BITES it!!
• Click: Look, Mr. Contac, this is indeed a misunderstanding.
• Contac: I-... How do you know my name if you don't know Industrios? Way to sound convincing.
• Eps: Ugh, dammit, Click!!
• Click: Contac, listen. We indeed came from off-planet. Tell me, do the robots, weapons, and machines look like anything from your planet?
• Contac: Nice try. How do I know it's not just newfound technology Industrios just so happened to find, like before?
• Click:... Before?
• ???: CONTAC!! (An Ohrugan-Human hybrid girl and a Cliyon midget came) WE HEARD COMMOTION!!! WHO'S THE ASSWIPES THAT'LL WIPE MY ASS WITH THEIR OWN HIDE?!
• Eps: OH THAT IS DISGUSTING!!!
• Contac: Industrios spies.
• Stryke: WE'RE NOT SPIES, SWEAR TO GODS!!!
• Cliyon: (With a cartoonishly bizarre knife) Swear to me!
• Stryke: EEEEEYIPE!!!!!
• Girl: WAIT!!! (Everyone stopped)...... They aren't spies.... They don't feel like it at all. The technology is nothing from Industrios, even from what they uncovered.
• Stryke: CAN YOU PROVE IT, YOUR BOYFRIEND IS TRYING TO KILL ME!!!!!
• Girl: He's not my boyfriend, and that's the plan. (She touches the machines).......... It's true. Much of the elements used in the construction are not native here.... Some of which not anymore since the great flood and earthquakes.
• Cliyon: Are you sure?
• Girl: As sure as I can be. Contac? Jisby? Let them go.
• Contac:... Alright. (Does that) But I got my eye on you weirdoes!
• Girl: So sorry about my friend. He's got nerves of steel, but he's still somewhat feral.
• Qoria: Feral?
• Beazley: "How can he be feral if the little s*** can still talk? He should be making monkey sounds if he's feral!"
• Girl: You can thank me for that. My name is Leah. I'm....... Somewhat telepathic and share a connection to Contac. We've been... Close for a while.

Flashback

• (Leah): You see, our planet is... On the verge of civil collapse. Since a revolutionary new war allowed us to discover ultramagnetic weapons which thankfully made nuclear weapons obsolete, the world started to flood and go into massive earthquakes. It wiped out half the world in an instant. The continents were torn apart and sunk into the ocean. Some of us tried to escape into space, but failed and ended up scattered. Whether land beings or sea beings, our world's population was now at 25%. Give or take. The world we knew was gone. Contac's parents landed on a remote island continent littered with buildings ruined or submerged. They lived long enough to form a small village and give birth to him. But he was only 6 when the earthquakes and tsunamis caught up to them. Contac was the only survivor.... Everything he knew was gone... And he would have been too if humans weren't among the most genetically gifted beings in the UUniverses. He developed mutations. He could lift things 10x his own body weight, he could sprint at high velocity, and he was even built for swimming underwater for long periods of time. In 13 years' time, he became an expert survivor. But his time alone broke off all knowledge of his civilized existence..... Until I came. (Contac saw her unconscious underwater and retrieved her, saving her from a shark and bringing her to shore)
• Contac:... (Sniffs her until he accidentally steps all the water from her lungs reviving her scaring him)
• Leah: What... Who's there?... (She saw Contac).......... Who... Who are you?
• Contac: (Makes feral noises and slowly approaches her)......
• Leah: It's okay. I won't hurt you.... Come on...... (Contac went close) WHOA, TOO CLOSE!!
• Contac: (Slowly backs away as she fell)
• Leah: Uh, sorry... Just... Close enough. (Contac went to her as she kept him back with her shoeless leg) Whoa, easy. (Contac curiously examines her foot) Um, what're you- (Starts giggling) No, please, stop! That tickles! (Laughs as Contac looks up her skirt as she abruptly held it down) OKAY, THAT'S TOO CLOSE AGAIN!! (Contac went back) Um... Sorry. Got a little uncomfortable. I... (Contac slowly grabs her hand and saw it was similar to his).......... Um...... I'm genuinely scared right now, and I've been through enough already.... Wait... Did you save me?...... I'm... Well that's very nice.
• Contac:... Very nice.
• Leah: Yeah, I tell you, water is not my preference since it's spread throughout the globe like a wildfire and-.... Oh, you can speak. Great, I've never thought less sorry about wild children than when I first heard of them........ But.... Hold on......... It.... It can't be!... Humans are still in this dimension?... Oh my giddy aunts, you must've been an orphan left behind. That's just sadder.... You have a name?
• Contac:... Contac.
• Leah:... Contact who?
• Contac: Contac.
• Leah:... Oh I see.
• Contac: Oh I see.
• Leah: I mean, I have only heard that name once. It's very rare.... I'm Leah.
• Contac:.... Leah.
• Leah:... Yes. Nice to meet you, Contac.
• Contac:... Nice to meet you....... Leah.
• Leah:... You, um... Have somewhere to live? As long as it's cle- (Contac grabbed her and carried her) DWHAH!!! (She held on tightly as Contac sprinted at amazing speeds, jumping across the flooded jungles quickly and finally got her on his back as he leaped from a cliff into a spring swimming as Leah, keeping her breath, saw signs of pre-war sea life before Contac surfaced in a cave)... Is this where you live?
• Contac: (He jumps onto trees and knocked on steelwood formations)...
• Leah: Amazing. You still have some intelligence inside you. (Contac used a spear to catch her a fish)... Yeeech. Thank you, but... I like my fish cooked.
• Contac:... Cooked...... Ooh. (Starts a fire and cooks it, then gives it to her)
• Leah: (Eats it)... This is actually quite good. (Finishes it).... I'm glad I'm not alone here.... I guess this could be a good place to hide for a whi- (Some of her tattered clothes fell off) Oh crap! (Contac got curious) Nono, don't look! I... I need new clothes.
• Contac: Mmmm...... (Left and started weaving new clothes similar to his and then not only analyzing her size, but strips her naked off-camera and puts her into a pool before going back)... (He signals that he won't look while she takes a bath)
• Leah:... Strange. (Swims into a waterfall area and takes a shower while Contac weaves her new clothes then couldn't help but stare) NO PEEPING!!!
• Contac: Uh... Sorry?
• Leah:... Close enough. (Continues as later she was in new clothes)....... You know... You know quite a lot for a human kid who lives alone in the wild....... Then again.... You can't be human. (The two sat on a hamper bed) Humans on this planet have left or died about 19 years ago....... Unless...... (Touches him as she paused)....... You.... You aren't a child at all.... You just look like one..... You're just still stuck in child psychosis. You've been living here for most of your life..... Well...... You're not alone anymore.... You've got me now.
• (Leah): And so for the remainder of my stay, I felt I had to help him out. (This played while the two explored and excavated things to reveal more knowledge for Contac)

Strangers Like Me

• Contac:... Leah? Are you okay?
• Leah: It's just...... Have you ever wondered what happened to your parents or how I got here?
• Contac: No. It just didn't concern me. Why?
• Leah: Contac.... It's time I told you something.... I need to go home.
• Contac: You ARE home.
• Leah: No, I mean, where I came from. Contac, my home is in grave danger. And chances are you won't be safe when they find you, not just because you were keeping me safe... But because you're a human.
• Contac: Why does that matter?
• Leah:... (Sighs) I don't know how to tell you this... But humans aren't around anymore. They're just... Somewhere else. And as far as I know, you may be the last human in the UUniverses. That's why I need to leave. I don't want you to get hurt. And as long as you're with me, you're in danger.
• Contac: From who? (Suddenly sounds were heard outside)....
• Leah: Oh no! They found us!
• Contac: Who found us? What's going on?
• Leah: We need to hide! Now!
• Contac: From wha- (The cave was being burrowed in by machines as Contac quickly grabbed Leah and dove underwater while they saw figures in high-tech suits armed with guns)...... (Leah glurped in suffocation as the figures saw her bubbles and found her)
• Figure #1: FOUND YOU!
• Figure #2: You've got a job to do, kid! Industrios NEEDS that solar satellite!!
• Contac: (Surfaces) LET HER GO!!! (They point their guns at him) Whoa!... Are these guns?!
• Leah: CONTAC, STAY BACK!!!
• Figure Leader: Who is this kid?
• Leah: Uhh... A feral Ohrugan kid I found.
• Contac: What?
• Leah: (Lips "Play along!")
• Figure Leader: Tch, so you found a pet huh? Well, tough break! I have a no pet policy?! (Aims her gun at him as Contac was gone)...... Wha?
• Contac: (He jumped in the middle and took out two of them until the leader figure shot him with plasma) AHHHGH!!!!
• Figure Leader: LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!!! (They left)
• Contac: GRRRRRRGH!!! GIVE, HER, BACK!!!! (Chased them as they went for a jeep and then a hydroplane that he failed to stop as he plunged underwater and washed back onto shore)... Leah!...... Where'd she go?........ Uh.... Think...... Industrios? Is that what they said?... Well that's where I'm going.... I... But how? I can't let my... Friend... Go?... (Started getting memories)... I... Wait...... Something is coming to me..... Friend... Make... Friends.

Flashback in a Flashback

• Contac's Father: (A tsunami was headed for them)... Son, go! Hide!
• Contac: NO, COME WITH ME!!! I CAN'T GO ON WITHOUT YOU!!!
• Contac's Father: We're humans, Contac. We're survivors. You can make it. I know you can... Please, just save yourself! I don't want you to die with me.... Just go, and make your future your own! Make friends! You'll need them!!... (Sobs) GO!!!
• Contac: DADDY- (He was swallowed by raging water as Contac just ran when he saw the tsunami coming towards him before getting inside a fridge as the tsunami hit and caused him to hit his head as he went out)

Present

• Contac:..... Mom...... Dad....... I....... No....... (Fell and sobs for 20 seconds before getting a determined face)...... Don't worry, Leah.... I'm coming! (He tries swimming out to open ocean before comically getting washed back to shore)... Darn it! (He went back to the cave and found blueprints for a boat and built it in comical hijinks)... ABOUT TIME!!!!! (He got all his belongings from the cave onto the boat and pushed it out on the water and sailed off)
• (Contac): And so began my journey to find Leah. It took me days to get to the nearest island. (He caught a fish with his foot and ate it)
• Contac: Ugh!! How big IS THIS OCEAN?!? (Echoes)... Huh? (Noticed land)... YES! (He went there)...... FINALLY!! Dryland!!! (He went off exploring and found a dilapidated village)...... Huh?...... Strange rocks........ (Sees a stream) Oh thank gosh, freshwater!!! Thank you Arbasus, whoever you are! (Went and drank until he sensed something in the trees)..... Who's that?... (Saw motion and the trees rumbling and got a determined look and dashed after it until finding a shelter)...... WHO'S THERE?!?....... Hmmmmm.... (Got a clever smirk and started looting, getting the figure to come out as he caught him and immobilized him) GOTCHA!!!
• Jisby: OUCH!!!!
• Contac:.... You're a strange kind of animal... And you can talk?
• Jisby: F*** YEAH, I CAN TALK!!! AND I'M A CLIYON, YOU MOOK!!!
• Contac: Cli... Yon?
• Jisby: Yeah! And you were stealing my stuff- (Contac stuffed a fruit in his mouth)
• Contac: I was playing you, stupid! I already have enough stuff of my own. Now, who are you and where am I?
• Jisby: "(Spits out the fruit) How should I know?! I'm lost as balls!"
• Contac: Balls can't be lost as long as you keep them around.
• Jisby:...... What hole did YOU crawl out of?
• Contac: A cave.
• Jisby: Ugh, look, kid, just let me go and I'll tell you everything I know.
• Contac: Fine! (Does that but he immediately bolts)
• Jisby: RUNNINGRUNNINGRUNNINGRUNNING!!!!
• Contac: OH, COME ON!! (Sprints after him and he eventually tires out chasing Jisby whose stamina is much greater).... Hmmph. COME OUT HERE YOU SCAREDY-FELOOT!!!
• Jisby: RUNNINGRUNNINGRU- (Bumps into him) OOF!!!... Oh you've got to be pooping me!!
• Contac: (Full nelsons him to the ground) Alright, runt, I've got enough trouble not knowing where I am! But the way I see it, we're both lost and need resources. So, how about we work together on this one?
• Jisby: Screw that!! You scare me!!
• Contac: Well I'll get scarier if we don't come with a compromise. Otherwise, there's no room on this island for both of us! I've got a spear on me and I'm not afraid to use it!
• Jisby: (Scoffs) You fooling? You couldn't take down a baby lizard with that thing!
• Contac: Yeah? Well you couldn't take out a shark with... Whatever that is on your back.
• Jisby: If you MUST know, it's a bow! And I sincerely doubt you could do something as far-fetched as killing a shark!
• Contac: Oh really? (Shows him a shark tooth)
• Jisby:...... You found that on the beach.
• Contac: Oh for heck's sake! Okay, fine, don't believe me. But I ployed you, didn't I?
• Jisby: Is that the extent of your capabilities, kid?
• Contac: I'M NOT A KID!!... I just look like one.
• Jisby:... Now that I look at you... Are you a human?!
• Contac: Um... No. I'm an... Uh... ("Darn, what did Leah call me again?!")... Ohruge?
• Jisby: You mean Ohrugan?
• Contac: Yeah that! I... Just got stuck here after my island disappeared. I'm trying to look for... Something.
• Jisby: What?
• Contac: I'll tell you if I know I can trust you. Now, what do you say?
• Jisby: F*** THAT!!! (Clawed him in the chest and bolts) I'LL NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU, KID!!
• Contac: NOT A KID!!!
• Jisby: WHATEVER!!! EAT MY FARTS, ASSWIPE!!! (Bolts off)
• Contac:.... What's a fart?
• (Contac): So we spent weeks as rivals. Of course I got his name. Jisby. Apparently he was lost from his parents by a tidal wave and stuck on that island. So, after some time fighting... We got stuck in a jam. (They end up accidentally robbing from the same ship traders and got thrown into the brig and met by a Gryphoid captain)
• Gryphoid: Okay, you two delinquents, what possessed you to steal from us?
• Jisby/Contac: (Pointed at each other) HE DID IT! NO YOU DID!!! SHUT THE F*** UP!!!!
• Gryphoid: OH WOULD YOU BOTH SHUT UP?! You're making me seasick! Besides, there's nothing much to steal here. We just have cigarettes, metals, plastic, and other crap to trade to Industrios.
• Contac: Wait... Did you say Industrios?
• Gryphoid: Yeah, so what?
• Contac: I need to get there!
• Gryphoid:... Why would a kid like you be so interested in going there?
• Contac: Why doesn't matter. You think you can give us a lift? This IS a trade ship, right?
• Gryphoid:... (Laughs) You even know what trade means, kid?
• Contac: Not a kid, by the way. Just look like one. You guys give resources to that place, right?
• Gryphoid: Yeah. But not without a price. You need to do something for us.
• Jisby: F*** that-
• Contac: Fine!
• Jisby: Ugh, sure, ignore me.
• Contac: What should we do?
• Gryphoid: The price is something that I doubt is something you'll handle.
• Contac:... Try me.... (The Gryphoid smirked)

Later...

• Jisby:... Resource management?... Really?... Well, I hope you know what you're doing, kid.
• Contac: NOT A FFF.... Ugh, whatever. Look, this is what I need to do. If we had just cooperated, I'd tell you I have a friend to save in Industrios.
• Jisby: You crazy? I've heard only bad things about that place. Sounds like you're going to your death.
• Contac: Well we got each other in this mess, and that fgaken isn't going to let us out any time soon. So you may have to make that choice again.
• Jisby: No balling way! This is your fault, so you're on your own.
• Contac: Fine!
• Jisby: Fine!!
• Contac: FINE!!!
• Jisby: FINE!!! (Contac started raking plastic)
• (Contac): Then came a full 48 hours of work. And Jisby was still a jerk. (Food and bottles of water were sent down)
• Jisby:... Food? (He gobbled his share) HEY, ASSWIPE, FEEDING TIME!!! (Contac was unconscious).... KID, GET UP BEFORE I EAT YOUR FOOD!!!...... Kid?..... (Came up to him and felt him)... My Gods, he's burning up! Kid's got heat stroke.... HEY, C*** GUZZLERS!!! YOUR CABIN BOY'S OUT!!!!
• Crew Member: You guys are smart. You'll figure it out!
• Jisby: HE MADE A DEAL WITH YOU GUYS, YOU CAN'T DO THIS!!!!
• Crew Member #2: He made it 48 hours doing this, and you look like you haven't done squat.
• Jisby: So what?! Am I supposed to take his place?!
• Crew Member #1: Sounds good to me! (They left)
• Jisby: HEY, THAT WASN'T A STATEMENT!!! GET BACK HERE!!!!... UGGGGHHH!!!........ (Looks at the unconscious Contac, sighs, and poured his water bottle on him cooling him down as he sighs deeply)...... (Sighs) Fine! But this doesn't make us friends! This is just until you get your burning ass up! (Starts raking the plastic)...
• (Contac): So he took my place as I recovered. We eventually agreed to do it together so we can get the work done quicker. And FINALLY, after 5 days, it was done.
• Contac: See? Was that so hard?
• Jisby: Don't push it! Though I have to give you credit. You've got guts.
• Gryphoid: I'll say. Well, deal's a deal. Welcome aboard the abode of Captain Tryce.
• Contac: Alright. So, what now? (They were later seen hoisting the anchor as the ship sailed away)
• (Contac): So all the work paid off. I was off to Industrios.
• (Eps): "This is gonna go anywhere or what?"
• (Contac): Hold your pants up, weirdo. We arrived to Industrios, and after some sneaking around while Jisby waited on the ship, I found her. (Contac scaled the tower and found Leah in a cell)
• Leah: Contac! You came back for me!
• Contac: Yeah. But don't thank me yet. (Tries to pry the window open but when guards arrived they accidentally shot the window open, as Contac kicked them unconscious)... Come with me if you want to live! (She got onto his back as they climbed down and reached the ship)
• Tryce: Contac?
• Contac: I got what I need! Just keep those jerks busy! Nice doing business with you!
• Tryce: What? (They were held at gunpoint by the Figure Leader, revealed to be a female Augean)... Maisy? Uh... You look pretty cute tonight.
• Maisy: Cut it out, dummy! Now tell me where they are before I treat you like a dummy!
• Tryce: Um, I don't know what you're talking about!
• Maisy: You have 10 seconds! 1... 2... 9... T- (The two took off on a motorboat with Jisby)... NOOOO!!!
• Tryce: Can I just say I hardly knew them?
• Maisy: We'll deal with you later! (Smacks him with her gun as they chase them in attack ships) DON'T DESTROY IT!!! WE NEED LEAH ALIVE!!!
• Jisby: GUYS, WE GOT COMPANY!!!
• Contac: WE F*****G NOTICED!!!
• Leah: Whoa, Contac, where'd you learn that word? I didn't teach you that when you were still feral.
• Jisby: FERAL?!?
• Leah: Yeah. Didn't he tell you he was a feral human before I met him?
• Jisby: HUMAN?! HE SAID HE WAS AN OHRUGAN!!!
• Contac: I DIDN'T TRUST YOU WITH THAT INFO!!! NOW WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE, SO SIT DOWN, STRAP IN, AND SHUT UP!!! (They kept dodging)
• Maisy: THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!!!
• Figure: Not for long! (Fires a missile that blew up the motorboat)... Ohhh.... S***! Wrong button.
• Maisy: (Shot him unconscious) SEARCH THE WRECKAGE!!! IF THEY'RE ALIVE, THEY COULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN FAR!!!
• Jisby:... (He was stuck on a floating piece of metal still and scared while, underwater, Contac and Leah were hugging each other as Contac blew bubbles in her face to get her attention before realizing his foot was stuck in debris as Leah tried to save him before glurging in air deprivation before heading to the surface, leaving a distressed Contac struggling and suffocating, while Leah surfaced gasping for air) UH, SKANK, A LITTLE HELP HERE?! I CAN'T SWIM!!!
• Leah: WHAT?! WEREN'T YOU STUCK ON AN ISLAND?!
• Jisby: I'M SCARED OF THE WATER!!! YOU'D BE TOO IF YOU ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT TSUNAMIS!!!
• Leah: Oh for Gods' sakes! Look, I need to save Contac! Don't go anywhere! (Gasps heavily and dove)
• Jisby: I swear if I just met you, I'd call you a smartass! (Contac still struggled until his cheeks expanded in asphyxiation before bursting with bubbles and falling limp before Leah came and buddy-breaths with him)
• The Goons couldn't find not a hair or sight of the trio.....
• Goon 1: "..... Uhhhh, bad news, Miss Maisy. I think the psychic kid's dead."
• Maisy: "..... DAMN IT DAMN IT DAMN IT?! The Boss is gonna strangle us?! The brat's father is NEVER gonna listen to us now?!"
• Goon 2: "Ehhh, she was an annoying brat anyway."
• Maisy: "AN ANNOYING BRAT OUR BOSS NEEDED FOR THE STATALIGHT?!"
• Goon 3: "Aw relax, who cares about solar energy anyways? It's untested and unreliable with a day and night system."
• Maisy:... Well, I guess we'll have to use truth serums. Come on! (They left as a still Jisby was unnoticed while underwater, Leah and Contac were still buddy-breathing, and Leah went for the surface while Contac, though briefly pausing, used his replenished breath to try breaking himself free with his trapped foot's toes clenched and slowly moving until Leah arrived)
• Contac: MMM-MMM!!!! MMM-MMM!!! (She reached him only to gush with bubbles and drown, sinking unconscious on the floor) ("No!!!... Errgh!!! I didn't come this far to be FISH FOOD!!!") (He managed to pull himself harder and finally freeing his foot, grabbing Leah, and surfacing with a huge gasp of air)
• Jisby: WELL IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!!
• Contac:... You were there this whole time?...... WHY DIDN'T YOU DO SOMETHING?! I ALMOST DIED DOWN THERE, AND LEAH IS UNCONSCIOUS!!!!
• Jisby: "I ain't much for swimming!"
• Contac:... Even though you were ON AN ISLAND?!
• Jisby: ON A PLANET WITH TSUNAMIS!!!!
• Contac: Ugh, well we're stuck in open water at night. I'd say you'll have to either get over it, or help me get a boat ready before sea predators arrive.
• Jisby: F*** that!
• Contac: Fine! You can watch Leah. (Gives her to him) And if you can, try reviving her.
• Jisby: All this... FOR A GIRL?! UGH, I HATE GIRLS!!!
• Contac: Well, we're stuck here until we build a boat. So, you'll have to be near one. Besides, girls aren't so bad.... Much... (Blushes before diving)
• Jisby:... (Sighs) I've officially hit rock bottom! Now, how am I gonna do this? (Grabs her arm and starts pumping water out of her like a pump).
• Contac: (While excavating the wreckage underwater) ("... She gave me air... By kissing me?.... I... I don't know how to feel. I... I can't let anybody know. With all the chaos going around, having a crush could be dangerous.")
• Jisby: BREATH, YOU SLUT!!! (Punches her chest only to shake his platform and stop with distressed breathing)...... Ugh! That kid's trying to kill me!
• Contac: ("I mean, I met her only a few weeks ago, and already, I can't stop thinking about that kiss! Was it on purpose? Was she always such a tease? Nothing she showed before showed she liked me.... Should I tell her?") (His heartbeat was heard and something happened beneath him) (Gurgling) DAAAAH, WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?
• Jisby: (As Contac's bubbles surfaced and repeated his words) IT'S ALL UNDER CONTROL, ASSWIPE, THE BIMBO'S FINE!!! SERIOUSLY, HOW HARD IS IT TO PERFORM CPR WITHOUT TOUCHING A GIRL'S LIPS?!?
• Contac: ("Ugh, just keep it together, Contac. It's just a crush. It'll pass. Just focus on building the boat so we can get out of here.")
• Jisby was able to make a makeshift pumping tube out of straws as he uses it to pump the water out.
• Jisby: "..... Perfect. And I don't have to touch a girl's lips or nothing. Jisby, you're a genius. (It broke once he pumped it)...... F***!"
• Contac: (He continues collecting scraps of metal as fish swam across him) ("Ugh, they scared the crap out of-") UUUMPH!!! (His face turned red and he surfaced for air)... Jisby!! Is she awake yet?
• Jisby: (With a hammer) I'm working on it!
• Contac: DON'T DO THAT!!! Just use your lips!!! It's very simple!
• Jisby: To a girl? No way!
• Contac: Oh, suck it up, you weenie. Like this! (Holds his breath and dives)
• Jisby:... You owe me big, asswipe! (Contac returned to the seafloor back where he started)
• Contac: ("Seriously, of all the wusses who helped me, it had to be HIM?! There's nothing wrong with CPR. How... How you embrace a girl's love.") (Sighs bubbles blissfully while blushing before slapping himself) ("FOCUS!!! SHE'S UNDERAGE FOR GODS' SAKES!!!....... But am I? I've been feral for 13 years. I haven't grown up!") (Continues)
• Jisby: (Peeking down her throat) Honestly, if I didn't know any better, I'd say he misinterpreted a buddy-breath as a romantic kiss and he's m**********g down there right now! (Shivers in disgust)... Aw, COME ON!!! WHY WON'T THIS BITCH WAKE UP?! (Punches her chest as she finally coughed out the water and gasped for air)... Ugh, finally!!!
• Leah:... So tired... Need a rest... (Faints)...
• Jisby:... (Did this)

Ninja Turtles - Raphael DAMN

• Contac: ("Keep it in, Contac, it was just to give you air! It was just platonic! Just wipe it off! Just... Just...") (Gurgling) UGH, I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!! (Swims behind a rock and did something disturbing off-camera)
• Jisby: I WENT THROUGH ALL THAT FOR NOTHING?! (Contac's bubbles repeated his exclamation) WELL GET USED TO IT, ASSHOLE!!! IT'S NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU!!! Ugh, I really had to get roped into this just because this kid's boner got him into trouble! Now I'm stuck on a tiny piece of driftwood with an unconscious cootie-infested girl underneath me, in the middle of the ocean at night, unable to move, I'm a wanted fugitive for Industrios, AND WE'RE ALL TOTALLY F****D!!!! (Takes a deep breath until Contac surfaced gasping deeper than usual)...
• Contac:... Jisby, do you have a bottle of water?
• Jisby: Thirsty already? Surely the seawater can keep your entire body moist. Stop complaining and get back to- (Contac was sound asleep on a platform)........... Motherf-
• (Contac): So the next day we washed up onto some kind of resource rig.
• AUU Seagull workers found the unconjustus knocked-out trio......
• Seagull worker 1: "..... Are they dead?"
• Seagull worker 2: "All I got from them is the smell of saltwater and not that mixed with decay, so no."
• Seagull worker 3: "Well don't just stand there, guys. Take them to the infirmary!"
• ???: Hold on!... I got them.... (The three woke up in a cellar)
• Contac: (Yawns and stretches along with Leah and Jisby)...... Wha... Where are we?
• Jisby: You both dropped asleep on me when I was standing stiff on a platform, so I don't f*****g know!!!
• Leah: Jisby, language!
• Jisby: Suck a c***!
• ???: Good, you're awake. (An AUU Albatross with a cyborg eye appeared) And just in time.
• Jisby: The hell are you?
• AUU Albatross: Just call me Mr. Eye.
• Jisby: Wow, did it take you a split second to come up with that?
• Leah: Jisby, don't be rude. He saved us.
• Jisby: Only because asswipe couldn't save us and just passed out.
• Aquanid: Wow, these guys are annoying.
• Mr. Eye: Varion, please. They're clearly in recovery madness. It happens to the best of us.
• Varion: Well what do we do with them? They're clearly escapees from Industrios.
• Contac: You're not going to kill us, are you?
• Mr. Eye: No. Until we can figure that out, you'll have to make yourselves comfortable. How good are you at salvaging?
• Contac: Well I did work for this rough but ridiculous bird guy on a trade ship.
• Jisby: Then you collapsed of heatstroke so I had to finish where you left off.
• Contac: Well I can make a good diver. I can do it without those weird suits.
• Varion: (Laughs) Is that so? It's about 50 meters down! That's about the length of here to the beach. But if you're so sure, how about you just retrieve this wrench? (Throws it in the water) Your lungs will pop before you can even-
• Jisby: He's already gone. (Bubbles were seen in the water)
• Varion:... GODS DAMMIT, I WAS KIDDING!!!! (Dives after him)
• Contac: ("Wow, he thought I was just a kid, didn't he?") (Snickers with bubbles out his nose) ("Aha!") (Grabs the wrench and goes back to the surface, as Varion completely missed him and crashed into a coral!
• Varion: UGH, DAMN IT?!
• Contac surfaced back up.
• Mr. Eye: "..... Kid, yer clearly something special.... Where's Varion?"
• Varion came back up with coral in his mouth.......
• Varion spat it out!
• Varion: "(Contac gave the wrench back to him)...... Okay, so you're some kind of fish boy freak of nature?! Whoopee for you?!
• Contac: When you're surviving a flooded post-apocalyptic world in the wild, you pick up a thing or two. Be grateful you can apparently breath underwater.
• Employee #1: He's got you there, V.
• Varion: (Speaks mocking gibberish)
• Contac: So, you got a job for me, Mr. Eye?
• Jisby: Count me out! I'm waiting for this near-death hangover to pass-
• Mr. Eye: Oh no! No freeloaders on my platform! You've got a job, too. Unless you rather we throw you overboard?
• Jisby: OKAY, I'LL DO IT!!!!
• Mr. Eye: That's what I thought. So, what are your names?
• Contac: Contac, and this is Leah and Jisby. Sorry about him, he got himself shanghaied on my little journey.
• Jisby: OH, PLEASE, YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT IT!!!!
• Leah: Can we all just calm down? We're lucky to be alive thanks to these guys. The least we can do is return the favor.
• Contac: "Exactly. He said he doesn't take freeloaders on this "Platform", so man-up, Jisby."
• Jisby: "Ughhhh, what do I keep getting myself into?"
• (Contac): So time went more as we ended up discovering that Mr. Eye is secretly an old acquaintance of Leah's father who has been telepathically signaling him to keep them safe until...
• Contac: Hey, Eye? I have an idea. I think we can actually use the ship to help people.
• Mr. Eye: The one down there?... Are you sure? That cruiser hasn't been seaworthy for like, ever.
• Contac: Oh, we can make it work. You see, I found some weak points down there that we can actually lift the ship from. We can make any necessary repairs and use the ship as a salvation for those out there who need it.
• Mr. Eye: Well, funny thing, Doctor Solus seems to have been requesting me to take you home to Harboring Heights.
• Leah: Really?!
• Jisby: But isn't that a good place for those Industrios scumbags to look? We kinda need to make sure they think we're dead-... Ohhhhhh.
• Mr. Eye: Besides, the tectonic activity has changed up its location.
• Contac: Exactly! It's foolproof.
• Jisby: That just might be crazy enough to work... But this tectonic activity won't exactly make it easy for us. Especially when using a cruise ship older than us.
• Leah: Well if it'll get us home... I'm crazy enough to try it.
• Contac: Me too.
• Varion: Have you gone MENTAL?! A cruise ship?! That's the biggest giveaway in the book!!! Don't you think it would be very suspicious a primitive pre-war cruise ship to be sailing out here?
• Contac: Oh, I've got a few ideas.
• Varion: OH REALLY?! What would that be, you're so smart?
• Contac: Oh, you'll find out.
• (Contac): So after a week, we sailed off, took as much as we could before the area went into seismic chaos, we mapped out the seismic patterns so they'd actually camouflage us from any sight. And with hardly any trouble, we finally made it to Harboring Heights...

Present

• Contac: The very place you're standing. I've been watching over the place ever since and trying out any job in town. And between you and me, I think Jisby's got himself a crush.
• Stryke: Tch.
• Jisby: You mean Vitra? Oh, come on, that bitch is as mean as she is stubborn.
• Contac: So, like looking in a mirror?
• Beazley: OHHHHH SNAP!!!
• Click: So, um, did Industrios EVER find you?
• Contac: Sadly yes. Last week they first invaded. But this time... They weren't messing around. They got their big boss. He was too desperate for the Solar Sphere to give them unlimited power, he took over the entire place and decided to head the attack himself.

Flashback...

• ???: (As armed forces surrounded the place) Now, I'm going to be as polite as possible about all this. I'm only going to say this once, and ONLY once! (A Greetean appeared in a high-tech business suit)... Where is Leah Solus?
• Varion: ARBASUS, DUDE- (The Greetean hurled him on land as he suffocated)
• Greetean: Well that was the opposite of co-operative...... Search the island! Leave no stone unturned!
• Soldier: YES, COMMANDER LEPSHUR!!!
• (Contac): So despite chaos, we managed to fight them off... But just barely. Only Tryce and his crew were left behind as well as Maisy.

Present

• Contac: We expected a surprise attack to come very soon.
• Stryke: Wait, wait, wait... What was the leader's name again?
• Leah: Lead Professor Commander Lepshur Leaser.
• Click: (They all looked at each other)... It can't be!
• Contac: What? Are you telling me you KNOW him?
• Stryke:... Contac... What you're dealing with is a rogue member of our organization.
• Jisby: "HOLD IT, HOLD IT?! You said you guys are not with Industrios, and yet, you knew the guy who's encharged of it?!"
• Eps: "Hear us out.... Ya see, Lepsy wasn't always your run of the mill aspiring dictator wanna-be. He was once a cookie-cutter deluded self-proclaimed super-genius."

Flashback.

• (Eps): "Leps was once of the Greentean homeworld, and their prized millaterry scientist. He was also the bro of a commander we used to have stationed here, Commander Sepshur, but I'll get to that later. Leps was highly valuable to the Greentean empire. However, what he had in great smarts, the morality department left alot to be desired, even for the standards of the self-righteous Greentean Empire."
• (Beazley): "He wanted to introduce tec that was beyond what even the USRA, or, any racial alliance for that matter, would be capable of doing. But such ambitions required things even the Emperor himself wasn't prepared to sacrifice. So, he was fired."
• (Ponder): "Then, he came to us. Initially, CIC deemed Lepshur to be a worthwhile investment.... But, as his fortune would have it, our group was not prepared for the extremeness of his ideas. He was doing experiments that ended up re-opening old wounds for those of us with, less then steller encounters with UIS, as if at all."
• (Qoria): "He also lost our favor in that he didn't even care about our aims to combat UIS at all. He just want a place to practice his craft to take revenge against his own people. I never thought I could meet someone worse then C'reep."
• (Click): "His unfortunate aspirations would be a flight risk of scaring people away from supporting the UUF, so thus, he had to be relieved of service to us as well..... Which alas, only served to have granted us, a powerful enemy."
• (Stryke): "Thus, with his name tainted to UIS cause of having been with us, and like hell he can ever get the USRA to help him out, he decided he wanted to be his own man. Initially, we didn't know what happened to him after that, but not too long after he was booted out.... UIS were able to find and take down his brother's base in Tertiom via an anonymous tip...."
• UIS were seen raiding the base.......
• Commander Sepshur looked on sadden.......
• (Stryke): "Sep didn't wanted any men and women to die that day...... So he issued a surrender......."
• Sepshur was seen being arrested.......
• (Stryke): "...... He agreed to spend the rest of life in Alpha Station and confess to rebelling against UIS, in return for his troops to be given considerably light penalties so long as they agreed to quit the UUF..... Results were 50/50, as some idiots just didn't took the hint that Sep made a major sacrifice for them, but others got the idea abit better."
• (Eps): "We still don't know how UIS were able to find that base. Sure, some folks took the lazy man's theory and just say that it was just Grandmind figuring us out. But that theory's been disproven to death when UUF plays hard in the best anti-telepath tec so even UIS' jellydaddy can't short-cut his way to getting us busted. I personally believe, that we were victims of a classic case of a disgruntled prick's revenge."
• Lepshur was seen enjoying wine to his own brother's essential life sentence.
• (Beazley): "But at the end of the day, we otherwise had no idea what happened to Lepshur otherwise......"
• (Click): "But if it is correct to assume...... It's likely that Lepshur decided to open up residence in Caspo, and had managed to take over Industrios for himself."
• (Ponder): "Everything else, you already know."

Flashback ends.....

• Jisby: "...... YA MEAN THAT CRAZY GREEN FREAK WAS ASSENTUALLY YOUR FAULTS?!"
• Click: "Not, us specifically."
• Jisby: "But you admit that he was from your group?!"
• Beazley: "Well, yes, but, we didn't figure he would take over a corporation to exsirsize one of his crazy ideas. At best, we thought he was either gonna become a space vagabond or get nailed by UIS cause of ever getting involved with us to begin with!"
• Jisby: "WELL NICE JOB NOT KEEPING TABS ON THE GUY'S LIFE, GUYS?! In fact, who's to really say Lep WASN'T behind why your commander friend was ratted out by him as a step-one of his revenge against you UUF clowns?! AND WHY ISN'T UIS GOING AFTER HIM SINCE HE'S THAT DANGERIOUS?!"
• Eps: "A, Lep likely adopted our tricks to keep Grandmind off his trail, so they likely don't even realize, or B, it's because, well...... UIS is all about having a "Hands Off" approach of being a "ruling" alliance. Their shtick is all about independence, and, letting worlds sort out problems on their own."
• Qoria: "Basically, in other words, as long as Lep doesn't try anything REALLY stupid like trying to invite the USRA races into these isolated systems, and/or make UIS feel threaten with something too powerful that it's deemed a risk to their "Sovereignty", Industros' is solely Caspo's problem."
• Jisby: "..... Okay, fair point....."
• The group were surprised by that......
• Contac: "..... What?"
• Ponder: "You're not, offended by this? You don't, feel abandoned?"
• Jisby: "..... Eh, well, that largely is because Caspo was never a place that was given any free-handouts or were interacted in certain ways before. Even before the disaster, Caspo was a self-reliant place."
• Leah: "Well, yeah, I mean, it's not like UIS ever really tried to give us free stuff and then suddenly just stopped for whatever stupid reason. They never tried to hold our hands for any part of our lives in, ever. No one did. They never tried to make us feel like we're entitled to the entire universe."
• Contac: "I mean, sure post-disaster intervention would be welcomed, but, apart from YOUR FRIEND taking over Industrios, we're surprisingly doing well. I mean, WHY are you going against UIS again?"
• Qoria: "WHY ARE WE- Duh...... Duh...... DID YOU NOT SEE WHAT DR. C'REEP DID TO ME?!"
• Jisby: "Uhhhhh-"
• Qoria: "HE TURNED ME INTO A ROBOT WHEN I WAS ONCE A TEADR 1 BEING?!"
• Jisby: "..... And, that sucks for you, why? That's actselly kinda cool."
• Qoria: "(Bewildered stare with twitches)..... I WAS TRAUMATIZED FROM THAT EVENT?!"
• Jisby: "Eh, if I had to guess, it was likely because you did something stupid."
• Qoria: "I WAS ONLY TRYING TO GET MY PEOPLE TO NOT HIDE ANYMORE AND EXPLORE THE UNIVERSES?!"
• Leah: "Well, thing is, I feel as if there may be a grander purpose to that."
• Qoria: "WHAT GRANDER PURPOSE?! C'REEP WAS INSANE?! HE-"
• Leah: "Yeah, you're looking at this with a certain bias. My father said there's a side to every story. Now, one of these days you will have to re-confront this doctor yourself and get the full answers from there, but for now, calm down."
• Contac: "Now, seriously, why ARE you guys fighting UIS?"
• Eps: ".... Okay, generally speaking, because we ended up getting mostly fucked over by UIS!"
• Jisby: "Well, that depends. What was the nuance of the situations?"
• Eps: "Well, uh, we don't need to get into specifics-"
• Click: "Eps attacked a UIS agent for trying to encourage his race to adopt a Pro-UIS narrative."
• Jisby: "..... Yeah, buddy, that sounds like that's more a "Your own fault" kinda deal. They're obviously only giving you shit cause you attacked THEM!"
• Eps: "....... THE SKEP TRIED TO GET HIMSELF BETROTHED TO THE LEADER'S DAUGHTER, JISSIA?!"
• Jisby: "Well, depends, was he marring for the sake of status and power?"
• Eps: "..... Well, no..... (Sadden) Jis, legitamently loved the lucky bony lizard. I felt like shattering to millions of pieces when I saw her crying over the wounded skinny reptile."
• Contac: ".... You liked Jis, did you?"
• Eps: ".... More like..... Unrealistic crush. Until my wedding crashing, she didn't even knew who I was..... (Sadder) Well, she did now..... As the jackass who nearly killed her husband...... And my people STILL wanna go for being all for UIS!"
• Leah: "Well why did you think violence against someone who did nothing wrong was going to accomplish?!"
• Eps: "Okay, I admit, I was young and stupid?! I, I hoped he was gonna break into crazed laughter and reveal that it was all a scam, but.... Guy, turned out legit..... I didn't knew he actselly was a UIS agent, and one of Madam President's damn nephews of all things! I went to UUF to be protected from the fact that UIS wanted my ass served to them on a silver platter for that."
• Click: "AHEM!..... UIS is not relevant to this issue in any shape or form. What does have relevance is that Lepshur IS a problem."
• Stryke: "Click's right. Lep is a flight risk that'll be a threat to the UUF or even his own people if he got to see any of his crazy ideas through."
• Jisby: "Well can't we just expose what he's doing and report it to UIS?"
• Stryke: "With us involved, too risky. Also, Contac's a human. UIS ain't fans of any USRA race even being a minority in Isolated Systems. He'll end up being deported and taken somewhere secret with the rest of surprise isolated left-behinds in the systems."
• Jisby: "Ugh, so we're SERIOUSLY stuck with YOUR mess either way?!"
• Stryke: Looks that way, yes. Lepshur is no pushover. His race is built for combat. Practically every individual can fight and even use a gun. And Lepshur is no exception.
• Click: Yes. He possibly chose this planet because he knew that a post-apocalyptic world in a dwindled population was easy to conquer. Tell me, Leah, is there anything in Industrios that he could use to do that save the technology he smuggled here?
• Leah: Well there's the Narkwing.
• Qoria:... He tamed one of the UUniverses' 4th ranking superpredator?
• Leah: Oh, no, it was one of the most powerful aircrafts in the war that ruined Caspo. Just one is enough to take over the world. But thankfully, with Industrios having a power crisis, it'll be impossible to refuel.... That is, as long as they don't get the secret of my father's Solar Sphere to get enough solar power to fuel it. That's why they want me. They want to use me as a bribe for my father to reveal the Solar Sphere's location. It's a planet-wide apparatus stored inside a satellite that can draw solar energy from the sun no matter where you are on the planet. It can provide a lifetime of power. My father hid it away when he found out Lepshur's plan.
• Stryke: That's easy. We'll just go there and destroy it.
• Leah: Oh, trust me, lots of people have tried. But during the war, secret hangars were made to prevent the destruction of superweapons. Because that Narkwing is the last one left, it's been hidden in a hangar lost in location by Lepshur.
• Stryke: Ugh, I really HATE smart villains.
• Click: We'll find it. We've got enough skill to match him. Stryke is of a race who shared a similar fate to humans. I... Was made in a warbot factory and turned out a defect with good uses.
• Contac: Well you guys have lost half my trust since your morality is in deep questioning, espeically when Lepshur came from the same group you guys are with and your reasonings against UIS are iffy at best and makes me question whether or not the UUF really are the good guys... But if you can pull this off... Well, you guys specifically will earn our approval, at the least.
• Beazley: Well you can start by showing us around.
• Jisby: "Show you what, exactly? It's litterally a planet mostly taken over by water, not much for landmarks or anything."
• Beazley: Ugh, do I really have to spell it out for you? The island your feet are standing on!!! Everyone you know. Maybe that Tryce guy and Maisy bitch?
• Leah: I don't think Maisy's in a visiting mood. We've been trying to get her to share information about Industrios so we can plan out an attack. But... Well...
• Stryke: She won't talk? Well, leave that to us. We have our ways.

Maisy's holding room.

• Tryce: "Maisy, for petan's sake, ya may as well fess up, cause what Lep is doing is crazy?! Even if he gets what he wants, he won't last for long when this get outsider attention, then it's all downhill from here!"
• Maisy: "You're not looking at the bigger picture, Tryce?! (The group arrived) Lep is trying to bring this busted flooded sink of a planet to a bright new golden age?!"
• Tryce: "Through enslaving everyone with one of the very things that got us here to begin with?!"
• Maisy: "Fair's fair, a post-apocalyptic world is where everything goes?! Social standards is kinda thrown out the window when everything's about survival?!"
• Tryce: "WELL A FUCKING NARKWING KINDA GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND "SURVIVAL"?! I mean, for fuck's sake, he's trying to force a genius to reveal the location of something that'll make him unstoppable, at least to this planet! That crazy Greentean may promise a better society, but, given the crazy shit he was doing, is that REALLY worth it?!"
• Maisy: "I am trying to keep a new generation from growing up into the miserable life of collecting scrap in this over-flowing bathtub that is Caspo?! People shouldn't be made to live this kind of life just because the guy who has the answers we need, may be abit unhinged?!"
• Tryce: "THAT'S A SEVERE UNDERSTATEMENT?! THAT JACKASS LITTERALLY THINKS THAT ONE OF THE SAME WEAPONS RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR PLANET'S COLLAPSE, IS MAGICALLY GONNA FIX EVERYTHING?!"
• Maisy: "Hey, he could turn out to be an Exhaeon for all I care, cause for as long as we have a proper society again, SO WHAT'S THE HARM?!"
• Stryke: "(Cleared his throat to get Maisy's attention)..... Three words...... UIS."
• Maisy: ".... That's just a trio of letters..... AND WHO ARE YOU?!"
• Click: "That is need to know information for you, miss. All you will be permitted to know is that we're outsiders like Lepshur is."
• Maisy: "Tch, no shit, since I don't reckitnese what you weirdos are."
• Eps: "Look, lady. That Narkwing will only get Lep so far until UIS shows up and wrecks his shit for what he's doing. The moment Lep IS able to conquer this place, it's a hot-skip of a jump until UIS gets word of what Lep did, figure out that he was from UUF, and wreck his shit severely! And don't be confident about the Narkwing's "Unfindable Weakspot" protecting it from easy disbatchture. A Brainiacaazk can figure out that weakness in 5 seconds flat, then all it takes is consintraighted fire in the right spot and WHAM?! (This scares Maisy)..... Lephead's Regine on this place is toast before it got too far."
• Maisy: "..... He..... He never said anything to us about that."
• Stryke: "Well did ya noticed he asked specifically for anti-Telepath stuff?"
• Maisy: "It was mainly for the Professor so he doesn't try any of his tricks?!"
• Stryke: "A double-edged sword, sure. But it's not just for Leah's dad. It's cause he knows that Grandmind would figure him out quickly and stop the operation before it started. Thing is, once that Narkwing gets active and starts causing trouble, Lep won't have that veil of secrecy anymore. UIS will mop up the floor with Industrios like they were nothing, which is kinda accurate to say. Industrios is basically a little fish to the big Junja Shark that is UIS' forces. He and all the people you know there, (Maisy starts to get worried), will be busted and arrested by UIS and be made to rot in their Prison Space Stations, with no way in HELL they can ever, ever get back out!"
• Maisy looked as if her entire worldview was shattered......
• Click: "But, there is a way to get out of it. Expose the Narkwing's weakness, and we promise we'll take Lep away to be dealt with by his own race with them being informed of his tasteless actions. This way, UIS will not have to be involved, and Industrios will be given to someone who will lead it with benevolence....."
• Maisy started to shed tears......
• Tryce: "...... GEES, GUYS, DID YA HAVE TO EGG HER ON LIKE THAT?! NOW SHE'S NEVER-"
• Maisy: "The weakspot for the Narkwing is the new solar-powered engine in the underside of the Narkwing. That thing is a glass cannon. It's a powerhouse, but it can break stupidly easy with the right whack. The minute that thing's out, the only thing that stupid Narkwing will be good for is being a museum piece! it's helpless without that engine! It's why Lepshur wants the Professor's own device. To make his creation more, durable, to say the least."
• Tryce: "..... Okay, nevermind then."
• Click: "Thank you for your co-operation, Miss Maisy."
• Maisy: "HOWEVER, I want you people to live up to what the bot promised?! I don't want Industrios to go down just because it had a bad boss?! It was meant to try and fix this planet. It wasn't suppose to push a madman's agenda?!"
• Eps: "No prob. All Industrios will feel is an epic insurrection too fast for even Lep to handle. Thing is, the best way we can get to him is to try and get him to put his guard down. And best way to do that, is to give him the impression that he's gonna win."
• Leah: "I'm already not gonna like this."
• Ponder: "Well, sometimes strategy is not always good for one's dignity. The best way to prevent Lep's threaten attack, is to give him the impression that Maisy was able to escape and capture Leah on her own."
• Contac: "Isn't that risky? Lep is only crazy, he's not stupid."
• Jisby: "Not even "Stupidly Crazy"."
• Beazley: "Maybe not, but he has to be a hopeless paranoid fuck to not accept an opportunity of having Leah at all vs. realistic expectations. Also, based on Maisy's reaction, she is clearly Lep's most trusted henchie. That sounds like he trusts her."
• Maisy: "Just as much I trusted him..... But he said nothing about this, "UIS". Why didn't he told us about that?"
• Eps: "Duh, people wouldn't be so quick to listen to him if they knew that any success he has will end in UIS stomping all over them like atonts! No sane person wants to risk pissing them off even for something as good as fixing a post-apocalyptic planet!"
• Maisy: "...... He, is going down for this?! If he can't trust us with something like that, then he isn't to be trusted at all?!"
• Jisby: Then answer this: HOW DID HE KNOW WE WERE ALIVE?!
• Maisy: Because he didn't believe us when we thought so.

Flashback...

• Lepshur: YOU DID WHAT?!
• Maisy: There were no signs of life in the wreckage. They obviously didn't survive.
• Lepshur: YOU IDIOTS!!!! They could still be alive!!! They could be on their way to Harboring Heights!! Well I'm not falling for their deception. Nothing is going to stop me from getting that satellite! You are demoted to low-class for this lack of professionalism. Now PREPARE THE SHIPS AND SET A COURSE FOR HARBORING HEIGHTS!!!!
• Maisy: But what if I'm right?
• Lepshur: What if you're NOT right?! We NEED power, Maisy, and we don't have much time left! Now follow my orders! I need to take care of something.

Present

• Maisy: Sooo, even if you have the goal set, he won't let you get near the Narkwing or his telepathic jammers that easily.
• Stryke: Kinda why we need someone who knows Industrios inside and out.
• Maisy:... It still won't be easy... But I'll give you as much as I know.
• Stryke: "Then what're we waiting for?.... Let's get to work."

To Be Continued...

Preview: Captain Darelock

Unknown Space Pirate Ship

• Stryke: (They were inside the brig)... Look, we thought you were Morladian pirates, we swear!
• Iago-Like Bird: YEAH, RIGHT! THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY! Be honest jerkos, even if you got the idea we weren't with the Morlads, ya still would've gone after us!
• Beazley: "Okay, not gonna lie, it depends on what you guys would've had done recently."
• Iago-like Bird: "I rest my case!"
• Ponder: ".... Confound it, Beazley."
• Beazley: "HEY, THEY'RE STILL PIRATES, LACK OF BEING MORLADIAN ASIDE?!"
• Qoria: "BUT NOW THEY'RE LIKELY GONNA KILL US IN THINKING WE'RE A THREAT TO THEM?!"
• Eps: "WELL YELLING AT EACH OTHER DOESN'T HELP EASE TENSIONS?!"
• Flick: "I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT?!...... LOUD NOISES?!"
• The crew just stared confused at this, some of them even attempted to chuckle at this.
• Satran:.... Guys? I think, they're telling the truth.
• Human Child: How can you be sure?
• Satran: Well, for one, they don't look, TOO dangerous. At least, not for as long as they don't have cases of mistaken identity. They obviously look like the kinds of people who would confuse us for Morladians.
• Eps:... Wow. We just got owned.
• Beazley: "WELL MAYBE IT WOULD'VE HELPED IF YOU DIDN'T HAD YOUR SHIP BE REMINISCENT TO MORLADIAN STYLE?! THEY'RE KNOWN TO USE SKULL-SHAPED SHIPS TOO, YA RE- (Qoria covered Beazley's mouth)"
• Qoria: "CAN YOU PLEASE NOT INCREASE THE CHANCES OF US DYING, BUG-BRAIN?!"
• Click:... Mind Beazley. She's, not exactly ambassador material. Point is, we speak the truth, we can assure you. It's obviously a common thing here. Eeheeheeheeheehee.
• Satran:... I take it the tincan's the smart one.
• Flick: "(To Click) Is she talking about you or-"
• Click: "She had clearly referenced me, Flick."
• Flick: "Ohhhh, right..... Right..... Just making sure."
• Satran: ".... And, I guess the other tincan's the dumb one."
• Iago-like Bird: "Looks like somebody forgot to scrap a defect today."
• Eps: "NOW HOLD UP, FEATHERS, WE-"
• ???: Ahem! (A Harlock-like Ardalian appeared as the crew got in salute)
• Seesan: I predict, that the captain will be here soon.
• Qoria:... That has to be the most delayed prediction ever.
• Seesan: It's a mental condition, okay?!
• Ardalian: They sound serious enough. They do not mean any, intentional harm. The Morladians really had tainted the McSkillington style very badly in a good long while. I would've been amazed if they HADN'T mistaken us for Morladians.
• Iago-Like Bird: "They're still jerks for it."
• Ardalian: AHEM!... (To Stryke's team) I apologize for the harsh hospitality. My crew can be... Well... Wacky.
• Red Astromech-Like Droid: Only a certain percentage of us are 'wacky', sir.
• Iago-Like Bird: Shaddap, you moving trash can!
• Droid: "OH GO (R2-D2 ANGRY BEEP) YOURSELF, BIRDIE?!"
• Stryke: "Ahem! Anyway, allow us to introduce ourselves, we're-"
• Ardalian: "Let me guess: (Holds up the UUF symbol) UUF flunkies?"
• The crew got scared at that!
• Iago-Like Bird: "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT?! I JUST DON'T BELIEVE IT?! THE UUF?! (The Team got momentarily proudly) THE MOST INCOMPETENT INCONSIQUENCEAL DISHASTOR AREA OF A RESISTANCE AGAINST UIS TO EVER HAVE A DISAPPOINTING EXISTENCE?! (Confidence quickly melted from the team)... WE'RE DONE FOR?! Look at this, (Feathers began to molt) I'm so ticked off and freaked out, I'm molting!"
• Human Child: "I'll have the airlock ready so we can dump these losers into space."
• Beazley: "See Qoria, we're gonna die anyway and it wasn't my fault."
• Qoria: "OH SHUT UP?!"
• Ardalian: "AHEM?! I didn't authorize an airlock ousting!.... Yet."
• Cyborg Pirate: "But captain, the UUF has established itself as enemies of UIS! Siding with them will be the death of us! It will ruin our off-radar status with them?! Ya know how UIS doesn't pay guys like us any mind, FOR AS LONG AS WE STAY CLEAR OF UNFAVORED POLITICS?! AND THE UUF ARE ANTI-ISOLATIONIST NUTBAGS TRYING TO RISK USRA PRESENCE SPILLING INTO THE ISOLATED SYSTEMS LIKE SUICIDAL TWATS?! KEEPING THEM AROUND WILL GET US THROWN INTO EITHER EPSILON, ZETA OR ETA STATION, ETA THE MOST LIKELY OF THE THREE FOR HOW SEVERE THIS IS, MAYBE EVEN THETA STATION IN A WORSE CASE SCENARIO?! WE'LL BE DONE FOR?! DARELOCK, PLEASE, JUST THROW THEM INTO THE AIRLOCK AND-"
• Darelock: "EVERYONE CALM DOWN?! (The Crew eased up)..... Look, by all means, I would normally be JUST as eager to kill off UUF idiots like all of you would, especially with the score tally I have, (Points to a score tally of killed UUF agents, which scared the team with a collective gulp), but in this case.... I feel like that if swayed the right way, these guys would be an actual use. Especially if it's likely they were here for our "friend", Rust."
• Beazley: "We were just sent to come after that guy actually."
• Qoria: "BEAZLEY, YOU-"
• Darelock: "Then in that case, you guys get to live with your sorry tails behind your backs."
• Qoria: "...... YOU WONDERFUL IDIOT?!"
• Darelock: "Why, it just so happens that we're after Rust as well. So, why not invite yourself to a, strictly one-time collaboration?"
• Stryke: "Not sure I can confidently agree, given you admitted to had killed UUF members in the past."
• Darelock: ".... In my defense, those other ones were not like you guys. I've met some UUF members that were actually WORSE than the Morladians. I heard of a little Littid that wanted to use weapons to really hurt UIS badly. Meteor Missiles, I believe?"
• Eps: "Ugh, we, would like to insist that Atomsmash just went kookoo crazy, okay? He didn't actually represented UUF interest-"
• Darelock: "It doesn't help your group's case that he was a part of you at all. Saying he was crazy, doesn't absolve your group from playing devil's advocate with him and giving him support. I even heard that your leader personally benufacted Atomsmash."
• Stryke: "I like to believe that Atom didn't told Godchaux the whole truth."
• Darelock: "Who told you that?"
• Stryke: "Godchaux himself."
• Darelock: "..... Omber, let me give ya some advice.... A soldier follows orders.... A Warrior, follows his heart. There's a danger in being too loyal to your superiors and believing everything they would say. Ya might end up doing something unforgivingly stupid that'll earn you a bad name in all history."
• (Stryke): "In hindsight, I, wished I took what Darelock said more seriously."
• (Beazley): "(Sarcastically) Ya don't say, Mr. Assassin of the President of Termany?"
• (Stryke): OH, SURE, RUB IT IN!!
• Darelock: And, you're lucky, because I'm the best opponent for bringing down Rust. After all, my father fought him and died to him. Rust has never been given the right setting for his programming.

Flashback...

• (Darelock): Long ago, his creator built him to be the best Morladian pirate. He had the ability to adapt to hard situations. But... That ended up becoming his downfall. One day, his master was held hostage. He was given a morality programming, so he couldn't shoot him.... Then the guy killed his master anyway.... Seeing his morality programming as a flaw, he had to adapt it away. He killed the murderer of his creator, and became... Well, a villain.
• (Qoria):... Sometimes I hate artificial intelligence.
• (Darelock): He has been a scourge to even other Morladians ever since. He upgraded himself hundreds of times, and he despised organic life, and thus has a Morladian crew. He even turned on his own creator's organic crew when they saw he was changed. Many have tried to destroy him. One of them was my father. He was the one who lasted the longest. But he soon ended up having at least one organic on his crew. But she's more of a slave. Her name is Emril, a hybrid, and a pretty one at that.... Yet, she was a kid when I first met her, so it made it kinda awkward. Her father was my best friend. First Mate Jooper was smarter than they come with pirates. We have fought Rust for a long while, and I swore to protect his children, one being Emril... Who went missing for a long time until recently... And her child sister, Kaya. When Jooper died, he wished her to stay on his home planet of Piradia. So I keep that promise to this day... Especially when my ship, the mighty Ardomina, has his consciousness as it's AI. But Emril... She's got some pretty good guts. She's keeping her mentality intact from her torture and slavery. I, for one, want to save her, because it's only a matter of time before Rust turns on her.
• (Droid): He's a ruthless and very torturous machine, even compared to the likes of me.
• (Darelock): We have been getting close to stopping him, but he has been making it constantly harder. He and I are evenly matched. The guy had deleted one of his most important programmings because of his own adaptive intelligence, all because a lawman decided to play dirty. This machine has made it hard for UIS profits, and even USRA for some occasions, and it's even made pirates look like jokes.

Present

• Darelock: I have been trying for years to destroy Rust, and save Emril, with what's left of her father on my side, as well as my crew. Speaking of which, meet Aiello, my pet grarrot...
• Aiello: HIYA, SCHMUCKS, HAVE WE MET?!
• Darelock: There's my, um, constantly-surprising Satran house of girl power, Melodeon...
• Melodeon: Greetings.
• Ponder:... Wow. Look at her blonde hair.
• Melodeon: Don't even think about it, brainboy!
• Darelock: This is my weapons master, Rhoman.
• Rhoman the Seesan: I predict, that... You know what, I'm not even going to say it.
• Darelock:... Right. There's also my two Duopoll pilots, Mei and Mai, who... Might have some petty disagreements.
• Mei: WE DO NOT!
• Mai: Pretty sure we do.
• Mei: DO NOT!
• Mai: DO TOO!
• Mei: DO NOT!
• Mai: DO TOO!
• Stryke: SHUT UP!! Ugh!
• Darelock: THANK YOU!... Ahem, the Blackan is Moldo.
• Beazley: What Blacka-
• ???: I'm right here, bugface! (A Blackan appeared from the shadows)
• Beazley: YAAH, SENTIENT MOLD!
• Moldo: Hello to you too.
• Darelock: The red robot here is Redze...
• Redze: At your service.
• Darelock: And finally, the cabin boy over there is Dare Jr.
• Dare Jr the Human Kid: Ugh! Draw attention to one of the LAST humans raised in this universe why don'tcha?
• Darelock:... He's a little... Unorthodox.
• Dare Jr: Ugh! What respect I'm getting right now.
• Flick: "I'm, confused. You're afraid of UIS getting mad at you guys for just being around us, and yet you have a human with you?"
• Dare Jr: "Well if UIS even knew I existed, I would've been dragged to the Neohumans by now."
• Beazley: "Well why aren't they already after you guys, what with UIS having the Brains that are always walking spoiler-alerts for anything the isolated systems would do?"
• Moldo: "Duh, same-way how you UUF yuts MOSTLY avoided being wiped off the map by now, some quality anti-telepath gear! I mean, come on, ya don't think we would've risked having any USRA alliance race member aboard this vessel without some way to prevent UIS tantrums, did ya?"
• Eps: "Hey, just because alot of colony attempts end in horrible or embarrassing ways, doesn't mean that-..... Ya know what, nevermind, I see your point now."
• Darelock: Either way, you'll need me. But, destroying him is MY destiny, and mine alone. You could have the honor of helping me.... That is, if you're willing to tag along with, a Morladian-territorial space pirate.
• Aiello: Hehehe, they look like wussies.
• Eps: (He blasted Aiello naked)... Is THAT a wussy to you?
• Aiello:... Swell! (Wheezes and fell)
• Darelock: ".... Ya know, I'd be more upset at that, if that wasn't a common thing that always happens to Aiello. His mouth always gets him in trouble."
• Moldo: Thanks though. That guy gets annoying sometimes.
• Mei/Mai: Tell me about it!
• Darelock: And you know the most coincidental part? You guys couldn't have come in a better time. We got word that he's planning the biggest heist ever. One that'll cripple the USRA, UIS, and the UUF alike.
• Flick:... That DEFINITELY won't do.
• Click: Not at all.
• Aiello: "Kinda feel like you people are only adhering to this is cause the UUF would get effected, cause otherwise, if the USRA wasn't also in this pickle, ya'd be all for it."
• Click: "Oh, we've still would've done it on principle alone."
• Moldo: "No offense, bot, but I don't feel like you accurately represent your friends here."
• Click: "(Dejected) I know."
• Stryke: So... (Cocks gun) Let's get some, (Cocks it again) Shooting done.
• Dare Jr: Okay, Omber, you can only do one gun cock per line, and they should be better than that, kay?
• Stryke: Oh, sorry, since when were you the badass police?
• Dare Jr: "(Holds up a dictionary of how badassery works)."
• Stryke: "..... Wiseass."
• Darelock:... He's also... Quite the multitasker. He IS a human after all.
• Stryke:... They WERE always ambitious.
• Eps: "Can we please not stroke Humanity's Existential Egocentric Cock here?"
• Dare Jr: "Well SOMEONE'S annoyed that humans are just more mainstream in the other races."
• Eps: "Hey, I'm just trying to point out that just because you got to be the talk of the town in this existence, doesn't make humanity the penultimate in existence! I would argue that if it wasn't for that "Cerwin's Mutantation" thing, why, humans would've barely made the top three weakest races in the universes, at least somewhere in the top ten!"
• Dare Jr: "Tch, well we do have the mutation.... Some of us, anyway. Point is, cause it exists at all, we're NOT in that kind of ranking, so ease up, alien!"
• Eps groaned annoyed.
• Rhoman: Meh, let him be who he is. That's what makes him a good asset. Especially with this crazy rumor running around that humans can mutate and unlock some genetic anomalies, like what you guys just talked about.
• Qoria: "Well maybe if we just had access to the grander universal community, we could've found someone who might have the answers to that by now. Much less a chance for a better life."
• Aiello: "HEY EASE OFF THE DANGEROUS POLITICS, LADY?! IT'S ALREADY BAD ENOUGH WE HAVE UUF JACKHOLES ON THIS SHIP AND THAT WE'RE NOT KILLING THEM, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE IDEOLOGY RESPONSIBLE OF TURNING YOU PEOPLE INTO SELF-DEFEATING IDIOTS?! Now, I ain't saying I'm a UIS fanboy, BUT I WOULD RATHER HAVE IT THAT AT LEAST THAT THIS GROUP IS AS POLITICALLY NEUTRAL AS POSSIBLE?!"
• Ponder: "Tch, being neutral to both alliances may as well be as if you like UIS."
• Moldy: "Hey don't get us wrong, if you're guys like us, and yer going around and saying you think UIS is awesome, it will make them think you're being an ill-representation, and ergo a threat to stability, because, in their words, "It makes Independence look bad", so, they would go after you for liking them too. So really, crooks are better off being neutral to both parties as possible."
• Beazley: "Oy. Honestly, I wonder what my family even sees in UIS."
• Redze: "Bug representation, for starters."
• Dare Jr: "It also kinda helps that the USRA, urm, doesn't have the greatest interaction with bug races. The War with the Veexomites, the Yatorans fighting off the Weavoids, which HAS been a point of contention with the Zharethis, the incident with the Necktronians, the Uonans breaking the Ka'navi's sacred treasure, the Naroudans preventing the Vezzericks from having an empire, heck, generally the current treatment of even pest-species bugs. Even if you had the right context, it doesn't help that it looks like the USRA races, are pretty anti-arthropod. Espeically given that the Cunones are still pretty butt-hurt about the Vexxomite thing to the point that they hated the human attempt to bring the species back, even with the promise of introducing pacified Vexxos from it."
• Beazley: "... Good grief, ya talked just like my parents, they bring up those spoon-fed arguments from the Zhaerthis all the time!"
• Dare Jr: "Hey, maybe the Zhaerthis are over-exaggerating certain details, but sad truth is, those things are real, and in some cases, are pretty earnest issues concerning the USRA's previous actions to bugs and other arthropods. I mean, take it in mind, I'm from one of the famous USRA races ever, and I'm not being ignorant to WHY UIS doesn't seem to think so. I acknowledge that maybe the USRA races were, over-hyped, and were no less better than anyone else in the universes. Otherwise, I'd end up being with jackhats like Worm McSinep and that crazy Yateron Terminus."
• Eps: "Oh why so defeatest, human, I thought you love stroking your race's ego!"
• Dare Jr: "Hey, being proud of my race, doesn't mean I turn a blind eye to legit f***-ups. In fact, acknowledging mistakes can help make humans better, if potaintionally the USRA, so in time, that could ease UIS to interact better with us in that we'd have matured from why they had a problem with us to begin with."
• Silence.... Then Stryke's team but Click broke into laughter!
• Stryke: "Tch, seriously dude? You believe that?! If the USRA had known what they did to the Ombers, they would NEVER-"
• Dare Jr: "Hold up!.... Are you trying to imply that UIS did something to your people here?"
• Stryke: "Well yeah! UIS took my parents and creamed my race out of existence for, some reason!"
• Darelock: "Let me guess: Did your commander also told you that?"
• Stryke: "Yes, right up when I joined the UUF back when I first stopped Blech."
• Aiello: "..... You, f*****g, useful, IDMILIT!! UIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OMBERS?!"
• Dare Jr: "In fact, the Ombers were-"
• Darelock: "AHEM?!.... I will, have a quick private chat with my crew. (He and the Crew left)....."
• (Stryke): "At that time, I thought it was Darelock breaking a rough truth to them since they never brought it up again.... But I guess it was Darelock realizing that I needed to learn the truth about the lies myself. But I wish now that Darelock allowed his crew to spill the beans early."
• (Eps): "Be honest, if they did, would've you believed them?"
• (Stryke):... Admittingly... Not really.
• Darelock: (He and the crew came back)... Okay, let's um... Just cut this conversation. You're not here to get in some kind of argument. You're here to bring down Rust. The person who is going to cripple the budget of the UUniverses as a whole. First, I need to go to Piradia. I have an itching feeling that-
• ???: That I wouldn't find out about Kaya? (A robot appeared on a hologram)
• Stryke: RUST!
• Mei: Bastard must've hacked into our comlink! (Rust spoke with no sound)
• Eps:... The f***'s wrong with the sound?
• Darelock:... Rust, you idjit, the microphone's not on.
• Mai: UGH! This happens every time a bad guy calls in!
• Dare Jr: EVERY TIME! Like some joke from another movie or something.
• Rust: Hello? (The video came off)
• Click: And NOW the video is off.
• Qoria: This must be so embarrassing for you.
• Rust: SHUT UP, WHOEVER THAT WAS!
• Melodeon: Ugh! Like talking to my parents.
• Aiello: "This is why I asked mine to not call me on this ship."
• Rust: (The video came back on) How about now?
• Darelock: Eeyep.
• Rust: Great! Now where was I? Oh, yes, I HAVE KIDNAPPED KAYA!
• Darelock: DAMN YOU, YOU COWARD!
• Stryke: Dang it, man! You're going to pull that little p***y trick?
• Rust: Oh, I can. Because I just heard he brought in Team Cibarron of the UUF. That's low, even for you, DL. I thought you were prone to kill off any UUF scum within your grasp!
• Darelock: They came by accident, actually. Besides, these guys might be worth keeping around, for that they're here to be your problem, and well, honestly..... They might be good for a couple of laughs alive. Anyway, where have you taken her?!
• Rust: You can't make me tell!
• Darelock: Try me. I can find out. Maybe even right under your nose.
• Rust: HAH! Good luck. You'll never find out! (Emril was seen behind him looking at the coordinates of where Kaya was and just snickered softly) I'm PROGRAMMED to be the master of it. You better find her soon. Which I doubt, because my location, is foolproof. (Emril just cartoonishly left and was heard laughing) Whatever. Bye!
• Click: (As he hung up)... Does he realize he has just transmitted her EXACT location?
• Stryke: If not, he's about to find out.
• Ponder: Was that girl Emril?
• Darelock: Yeah. I felt like laughing too. Also, CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!
• Click: Excuse me?
• Darelock: Those aren't just ANY coordinates! Those are the coordinates of Planet Oolana. The planet where I last defeated Captain Fearedes.
• Click:... Captain who?
• Flick: Oh, come on, remember that wacko parrot pirate that crossed our path and almost kicked our asses? I'm supposed to be the incompetent A.I. here, Click, and even I KNEW that!
• Click: Ah, yes. That was a-
• Ponder: You know, now that I think about it, the bioscans revealed a kid on his ship, in the location that the brig might be.
• Stryke:... Seriously, P?
• Ponder: Oh give me a break, I thought she was a recent addition to the crew in punishment! How was I to know the poor thing was a prisoner?
• Darelock:... Wow, you guys are more of an embarrassment than these infamous "Shell Lodgers" I heard yarns about.
• Stryke: "Who?"
• Darelock: ".... (Scoffs), You're actselly from an isolated system where UIS' censorship operation actselly works, are you?"
• Stryke: "I'm serious dude, what're you talking abou-"
• Aiello: "BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA?! HE IS?! (The Crew Laughed their asses off)?!"
• Darelock: "(Laughs), Perhaps another story for a better time."
• Stryke: "(Deadpan) Can we please go back to focusing on the mission?"
• Click: Then we must go to Oolana.
• Moldo: Wow, I'm immediately embarrassed to be seen with these guys. As if the risk of UIS being pissed at us for being with UUF members isn't bad on its own, now it has to be with resident dumbasses too?!
• Beazley: "HEY, WE'RE ELITE RESIDENT DUMBASSES?!...... That sounded better in my head."
• Qoria sighed as she facepalmed.
• Dare Jr: SHUT UP AND SET A COURSE FOR OOLANA, YOU GLOCK!!!
• Darelock: Normally I'd say I give the orders around you... If I didn't do that when my dad was still alive. I just hope poor Kaya is holding up.

Fearedes' Ship

• Kaya: (She was an innocent young hybrid like Emril playing an ocarina-like instrument)
• Fearedes: AAHHHHH, SHADDAP!!! THAT INSTRUMENT IS ANNOYING AS NUTS!!!
• Kaya: "Tch, no taste in music, huh?"
• Fearedes: "Oh don't get me wrong, it's very beautiful, it's just that I need to consintraight on taking the ship to Oolana safely, and if I get too soothed by that music, I MIGHT CRASH TO EVEN THE SLOWEST OR MOST STATIONARY ASTEROID IN SPACE, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!"
• Kaya: No, sir.
• Fearedes: And when did you get so... Well... Smartaleckey? Last time we met, you were just a scaredy feloot who hardly spoke.
• Kaya: Things change, mister! That was about a year ago.
• Fearedes: To us grarrots it's like a month tops.
• Kaya: Well we aren't ALL grarrots, are we?
• Fearedes: Ugh! Why did Rust think kidnapping this kid and magnet for Darelock was a great idea? It's asking for trouble.
• Kaya: I don't know.
• Fearedes: WHO ASKED YOU?!
• Kaya:... (She started crying)
• Fearedes: OH NO! NONONONONONONOHOHOHOHO!! PLEASE, DON'T, UH, TEARS?! PLEASE, I, I, UH, SORRY?! OKAY, I'M OUT OF HERE!!! (He put up soundproof barriers)
• Kaya: (She stopped faking it)... Yeesh, he was annoying as s***!... Where'd I learn that word again?

Darelock's Ship

• Darelock: Then again, she did start getting hardier the last few months, even when she's only a few years old.
• Beazley: "Why Oolana specifically?"
• Mei: "Yeah. I can hardly imagine on why anyone would want to go to a swamp planet where legends say holds a gem-orb with unfathomable powers to bring every form of wealth and treasures to it under the command of its wielder, I mean, it's not like the bank robbery thing is just a front to get our attention and then have Fearedes kidnap Kaya just to have us unknowingly locate where that gem-orb is, I mean, (Laughs), That'd be STOO-PID!"
• Everyone just stares at Mei.....
• Mei: "..... What?"
• Mai:... I think the stoo-pid one, is you.
• Mei: WHAT?! YOU WANNA GO, GIRL?!?
• Mai: We both literally feel each other's pain. We're a Duopoll.
• Mei: WORTH IT! (She punched her)
• Mai/Mei: OWCH!!
• Stryke::... So... Oolana is some kind of rendezvous?
• Darelock: Seems like it. I thought kidnapping Kaya was to distract us FROM the robbery. That machine's more clever than I thought. I KNEW there was a reason he was stupidly telling us Kaya's exact location. But, dragging Fearedes into this?
• Rhoman: Probably for half-time entertainment.
• Redze: Probably.
• Flick: "A Gem-Orb with powers to summon all forms of wealth right to where it's wielder is, huh? That litterally sounds like the worse kinda thing to be in a pirate-infested system, am I right?"
• Click: What I'm asking is why is it in a swamp planet in pirate territory in the first place?

Cutaway, 400 Years Ago

• Captain Sludge: YEEEEEEEEEEEES!! THE GEM ORB OF ENDLESS WEALTH!! BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS, CAPTAIN QUAESTOR!! NOW, ALL THE TREASURE IN THE UUNIVERSES WILL BE MI-
• Rust-Bucket: CAP'N!!
• Captain Sludge: YAAH!! (The orb ended up falling out the hangar field and out to Oolana below)...
• Rust-Bucket:... I'm... Missing, my grog?
• Captain Sludge:... GODDAMMIT, RB!!! (From outside their ship, they were heard in a comical chase) ENDLESS RICHES, GONE!!!
• Rust-Bucket: SORREEEEEEEEEEEEeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeEEEEEEEEEeeeEEEEEEE!!!

Present

• Ponder: My best guess it could be because of Sludge and it ended up there accidentally cause Rust-Bucket did something stupid.
• Qoria: ".... Strangely, that, sounds very believable to me."
• Ponder: And yet for centuries, it's never been uncovered by any other pirate.
• Darelock: Well, it won't be. We're going to find it, and destroy it.
• Melodeon: Um, unfortunately, that's not possible. The Gem Orb is indestructible. But, it's power can be. It's said that if it goes for 400 years without a master, it dies forever.
• Rhoman: But it's BEEN 400 years!
• Melodeon: Not yet. It only needs a few days.
• Rhoman:... Ohhhhh. Specifics.
• Beazley: "So, after that, the Gem-Orb just ends up becoming an expensive glorified glass ball, right?"
• Darelock: "Pretty much. Cause after its power is gone, all the gem-orb itself is good for, is just being a nice centerpiece for any wealth-loving pirate's treasure."
• Redze: It should be much better that way.
• Stryke: Totally.
• Click: Then we cannot let Rust touch it before then.
• Stryke: Sounds easy enough.
• Darelock: Yeah. It would... If not for the fact that all pirates that tried to find it before died, AND there's mutant biota everywhere. They were mutated by Morladian servowaste dumped there.
• Click: It's true.
• Dare Jr: Ugh! No respect for the environment. The Skeps would not be big fans of that! They are netourious planet puritans! They HATE the idea of planets getting missed up!
• Eps: "Kinda the aftermath of centering your culture on a neighboring planet for its beauty and then not being able to colonize that same planet because it got turned into a Garbage Dump, really."
• Darelock: Then we must go, stop Rust, save Kaya, contain and disable the Gem Orb, and save the treasure of the UUniverses.
• Stryke: Oh yeah. Lock and load. (He cocked his gun)

To Be Continued...

Preview: Going to Geo

Usurpia

• Stryke: (The UUF came out to find something similar to Spinel's Injector, but bigger and more advanced, appearing)... WHAT, THE GLOCK, IS THAT?!
• Click: Uncertain for the moment. It could be anything.
• Eps: Really? Could it be the moon?
• Click: No.
• Eps: Because I'm pretty sure I'd know it-
• Click: OKAY, MAYBE NOT ANYTHING! Ugh, good grief.
• Eps: Sorry. Sometimes sarcasm is a bitch.
• Flick: Guys! Something's on it!
• ???:... HEY! ARE YOU THE UNITED USURPATION FORCE?!
• Charge:... Yeeeees?
• ???: Perfect. (She got out a bugle and blew, commanding the giant device to inject itself into the ground and infuse some kind of blood-red poison as it bubbled upon insertion)... (The stranger came down with a loud thud)... Well, well. Let's take a look at the menagerie. (She got out some electrobinoculars)... You guys must be Team Cibarron. And... Captain Charge. The disappointment of the UUF. The one who briefly betrayed everyone for Blech. The Whilian, who poisoned his own planet. How, SWELL!
• Charge:... I'm sorry, but.... Who the heck are you?
• Stranger: I, am your reckoning. I sensed all the suffering of the people and lifeforms who died here, from the biggest war casualty, TO THE SCREAMS OF A STEPPED-ON BLADE OF GRASS!! YOU NUMNUTS ONLY CONTRIBUTED IN KEEPING MY PEOPLE FROM RIGHTFULLY SPREADING INTO THE COSMOS, BECAUSE YOU GAVE UIS THE IMPRESSION THAT ALL ISOLATED SYSTEMS WOULD INSTANTLY GET FRIENDLY WITH A BUNCH OF NOBODY HUMANOIDS, BECAUSE OF YOU CLOWNS MIGHT ADVOCATE FOR THEM?! And I have myself, a brand new toy, that's going to put an end to your precious, three-way fights between the USRA and UIS, ONCE AND FOR ALL!
• Godchaux: Okay, this has to be some kind of misunderstanding. We're just-
• Stranger: OH, HEY! I was expecting to meet YOUR malicious and/or incompetent ass later. Oh well. I'll end you for your crimes soon enough. That goes for ALL OF YOU! Organic lifeforms are a damaging asset to worlds everywhere. The BIGGEST mistake. So, I have inserted all worlds in the UUF reach with these things.... Which ended up not being alot, cause it's just the planets in this system, CAUSE MY GOD, YOU GUYS ARE INCOMPIDENT AT SPREADING YOUR INFLUENCE?!
• Beazley: "Oh way to remind us, buddy."
• Stranger: JUST YOU WAIT, no lifeform will stand a chance against them.
• Stryke:... WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!?!
• Click: WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT?! DID INIQUITOUS PUT YOU UP TO THIS?!
• Stranger: (Bemused chuckle), Silly plastic machine. My loyalty belongs only to my race, the Geons.
• Brittany:... You mean, the Geons of the planet Geo? Those sentient gemstones?
• Stranger: Well I'm not talking about the Gate Sintari, am I?! I came to finish what they've failed to do for eons. Punish organics for poisoning planets and their sanctity. You toxify them and yourselves with your pollution, climate change, and people who die, become things, like ME, BLOOD CRYSTAL, THE NEWEST MEMBER, OF THE GREAT CRYSTAL GOVERNMENT! Finally we will give organic life the punishment it deserves.
• Jadence:... We won't let you do that!
• Charge: "Did you REALLY have to aggravate the big scary person with the bigger and scarier death machine?!"
• Blood Crystal:... Good! (They fired at her, but she just absorbed all the energy and fired it back destroying much of the area as she cackled a cackle identical to Spinel's)
• Godchaux: ".... Uh, how's about, you guys handle this, and, I'll go make sure the evacuation ships are still operational. (Runs off like a pathetic coward!)"
• Blood Crystal: HAHAHAH! TYPICAL GODCHAUX MOVE!!
• Brittany: HEY! Nobody insults my father! (She fired, but Blood Crystal just grabbed the blast and threw it back, hitting her in the face)
• Stryke: BRITTANY!
• Blood Crystal: Who else wants to take the next shot? I'm open!
• Nester: OKAY! (He took out an antimeteor cannon and fired at her)...
• Charge: Did we get her?
• Stryke: Charge, we can detect her life signs. Why do you bother asking?
• Charge: I'm an optimist.
• Eps: You're an idiot.
• Blood Crystal: You're all wrong. You're DEAD! (She shapeshifted her arm into a cannon blaster that froze much of the UUF into an unbreakable red crystal)
• Stryke: WHOA!
• Blood Crystal: Heheh! These crystals. A marvel, aren't they? It'll poison whatever poor soul is in them.
• Stryke: I DON'T THINK SO! (He fired his strongest weapon, but it had no effect)
• Blood Crystal:... HAH! Did you really think that would work? This stuff is harder than diamonds. Indestructible.
• Jadence: LET THEM GO! NOW!
• Blood Crystal: I don't take orders from some organic scum! (They fired some more) OH YES, BECAUSE IT WORKED SO WELL THE FIRST TIME!! HEHEHEHEHEHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAHAHAHAAA!! (She froze all except Team Cibarron)...
• Eps: ".... Well, frick. The biggest players have been disabled, and our "Fearless" Leader nominated himself to evacuation duty, AND WE'RE BEING OVER-POWERED BY A LITTERAL ROCK-HARD BITCH?!"
• Blood Crystal: (She appeared from behind them) BOO! (Everyone freaked and shot at her, as she absorbed all the energy and fired, as they dodged the crystals)
• Click: We must leave now!
• Stryke: And leave these guys to be poisoned?
• Click: There is no time!
• Qoria: He's right. We'll be poisoned too unless we get out of here!
• Blood Crystal: And how're you going to do, THAT?! (She destroys the bridgewalk of the Hall) Got'cha! (The Team just jumped)... Lost them.... Or not! (She blasted and caused massive traffic accidents that made the trip back down hard as they avoided dying)
• Eps: HOLY F- (He got hit comically by a hovercar)
• Stryke: CLICK! (He placed Click on his back and he transformed to his jetpack form)
• Beazley: WE'RE GONNA DIIIIIIIE!! (Stryke managed to jet them all to the ground safely as they watched the chaos around them, save the people, and then watch as Blood Crystal grew red crystals everywhere)
• Blood Crystal: HAHAHAHA, HAHAHAHA, HAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I WON!! AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
• Eps:... She won?!
• Click: I, believe so.
• Flick: Well, s***.
• Stryke: That, did NOT just happen! Please tell me that didn't JUST happen!
• Beazley: "Relax guys, the UUF's no stranger to losing epicly."
• Qoria: "This isn't a normal case of "Losing Epicly".... And I'm depressed for having said that about the UUF.... THIS IS "END OF THE GROUP" LEVEL STUFF?! LIKE, THE SAME LEVEL AS A MASS UIS INVASION SORT'VE THING?! IF THERE'S NO USURPIA, THERE'LL BE NO UUF?!"
• Ponder: "Ugh, it wasn't like we weren't already on barely stable last legs as it is ever since we lost Botriff to that OV crud. I doubt losing Usurpia and the other intermediate planets of the system to an angry stone-lady is survivable for this disaster area of a group."
• Flick: "So? What's stopping us from just opening up shop somewhere else?"
• Eps: "A: I doubt UIS would EVER allow another UUF to happen again should that crazy rock-lady succeed in what she's doing, espeically not after the many years of USRA-advocating we did, much less that stupid conspiracy garbage with that joke Worm McSinep! And B: Said same rock-lady will do the same to any planet that's attempting to be a new UUF homebase!"
• Flick:... You may be right. The UUF headquarter planets have these giant machines on them, as well as many unsuccessful UUF colonies. It must be a fair starting game for her.
• Click: But still. The act of simply exterminating organic life on each planet? It's simply, unconscionable. For as much UIS doesn't condone the UUF's actions, most certainly they can't back hers.
• Eps: "Tch, only by a rough proxy the crazy bitch is basically causing a sentient being-made extinction event for all life on the planets! Otherwise, those UIS twats would be GIDDY about the UUF being in this mess!"
• Beazley: The bitch is essentially punishing worlds for its sentients' abuse. I mean, I get where she's coming from on a spiritual level, but what she's doing, feels like a "Cutting off your nose to spite your face" kinda deal. I doubt it'll really help planets any better by basically making them uninhabitable to anything not a Geon. We gotta put that shiny boulder in her place.
• Flick: She'd hit, all the planets the UFF had TRIED to make colonies, much less the ones we were lucky to have AT BEST?! And they seem to be infusing some kind of biopoison derived from biochemicals and geochemicals. (He scanned a sample from the ground) It appears to have DNA-poisoning effects. Liquefied DNA mixed with microbes that are eating each other from the poisoning their DNA suffers, along with reacting organic chemicals from planets. A cauldron of genetic decay that kills any organic life it touches. And judging by how slowly this device is acting... We may be dealing with 48 hours until the destruction of all organic life in UUF space.
• Stryke: ALL, ORGANIC LIFE?!
• Flick: Yeah, like animals, plants, microbes, uh..... People.
• Stryke:... I... We can't let this happen!
• Flick: Chyeah! It's worse than being turned into robots. (Qoria scowled).... No offense, Qor. This burning bloody slime can melt away any living thing in seconds!
• Eps: "Well jokes on that rock-eye-candy bitch, we have evacuation ships, so this crap is pointless!"
• Flick: I wouldn't say that. Geons have LONG invented bioscanners. They can locate ANY organic life in a 600-lightyear radius.
• Eps:... Sometimes I HATE technology.
• Flick: So, she likely has bioscanners to detect where any evacuating citizens go so she can give their location another one of those giant devices, and even find a way to make sure evacuation is not possible. In fact, she won't even let ANYBODY on this planet leave. She defeated us, so she can figure it out.
• Beazley: And how is she POSSIBLY going to get past our Holosecurity?
• Flick: "Be honest, that same security system failed to stop 1300 UIS espionage attempts that prevented and quelled many UUF expansion attempts..... THIS WEEK ALONE?! Do you seriously think it can stop that geon?!"
• Beazley: "..... Wow, it's amazing UIS hasn't torn us down by now."
• Flick: "They're waiting for us to collapse and fall apart inevitably first, then swoop in to pick up the pieces."
• Stryke:... Why are we even fighting against them anyway?
• Eps: "Because politics."
• Click: Abit of a crude understatement, though not inaccurate. But we must go.
• Stryke: What about our friends up there? They're imprisoned in poisonous crystal blocks. We can't stop Blood Crystal before they inevitably die, in fact, we don't even KNOW how long it takes for that poison to kill them.
• Qoria: Can't we just go and rescue them in a sneak attack?
• Click: Bioscanners, remember? Blood Crystal will know we're coming.
• Qoria: UGH!!! So... There's nothing we can do to save them?!
• Beazley: I'm afraid not.
• Eps: "Welp, that's it, the UUF dies in a whimper and UIS doesn't even have to be the ones to do it! Had it not been for implications that this chick would go on an anti-organic rampage, I'd say this is otherwise a win for them."
• Click: Actually, if it helps and doesn't end up being a disproven theory, (He analyzed the biopoison)... It seems this poison is slow-acting in its crystalline form. It's only fast-acting in its liquid form. But the crystals are pretty much colder than a day in an ice planet, and they penetrate the frozen victim's bloodstream, injecting the poison when it starts melting. Hopefully, again if not disproven, we have plenty of time to stop this.
• Stryke: Wow. You'd think she'd fix that.
• Click: Hey, even for advanced races, chemical science is not as easy as something from grade school science class!
• Stryke: Ugh, let's just do something about this already. Can we at least remove that device?
• Click: Uhhhhhh, No. It has been hooked into the crust itself tightly. Any attempts to remove it will only accelerate the biopoison's release, which, I'm pretty sure, that makes everything worse.
• Eps: THEN LET'S BLOW IT UP!!!
• Click: 1, that's litterally your answer to everything, and two, that won't work well either, at least, not in the way that won't garrentie the same self-ensured doom anyway."
• Eps: AW COME ON?! YOU GUYS NEVER GIVE MY IDEAS A CHANCE?!
• Qoria: "Well given you got on UIS' badside for nearly killing a nephew of Madam President, KINDA NOT HARD TO SEE WHY?!"
• Click: Also, It's coated with a field that absorbs-energy of any kind and adds it to its power. Attempts to destroy it will also only accelerate it further, as again, only ensuring self-ensured doom. Attempts to halt it will only make it worse. I'm afraid the best option to stop is, well, basically doing it indirectly.
• Eps: Then we just steal Bloody's bugle thing.
• Click: One, I doubt she would allow that to easily happen, and two, Geons are holographic constructs of self-aware gemstones. The bugle itself is not real. It's just a hologram. Only Blood Crystal can control them.
• Eps: OHHH MYYY GOOODS!!!
• Flick: Oh, WILL YOU SHUT UP, YOU BIG BABY?!?
• Eps: OH, SORRY WHA?! (He pointed his gun at him)
• Flick: Um, nothing!
• Click: I am aware that this has gotten to our heads. But, I'm sorry to say, there are no shortcuts to this. We must talk to the Great Crystal Government on Geo.
• Eps: Oh, of course, why didn't I think of that? Oh wait, there's a flaw to that plan: HOW DO WE GET THERE WITHOUT A SHIP OR TRANSPORT, GENIUS?!?
• Click: You are NOT making it easier for me by shouting at me, Eps.
• Beazley: Yeah, idiot.
• Eps: WATCH IT!
• Ponder: But he is making a point. How do we get there? And how can we be sure this government hasn't priorly condone this action? For all we know, all the Geons are in on it!
• Stryke: We'll just have to make it up as we go. There isn't much time even with all the time we have left. I just hope to cluster that they AREN'T supporting this.
• Click: She said she's part of the GCG. Let's not get hopes up just yet. Let's go. (They head out)
