[Gentlemen, start your engines]

(Isn't Jayden coming along for the ride? o3o)

(Nope, not this time. XD)

(Ah, I see. Well, let us begin then.)

Chapter I: A Plea From Beyond The Stars
The Monteiro Brothers, Liam and Blade were in their base in Imsterdim, Eurish, sitting around and minding their own business. Liam was listening to music and Blade was refreshing the oil supply of his robotic pet bunny, R.A.B.B.I.T..

Meanwhile, in Genesis City, Downunda...

Out in the Zarvokian capital of Genesis City, were two individuals walking upon a sidewalk, one of them a red furred male hedgehog, and another a light cyan furred female hedgehog, as the two were walking together. The latter had her left arm around the former's right arm, as they seemed to be a couple, enjoying a walk in the marvelous city "It's a nice day out, isn't it Josh?" The female hedgehog spoke to the male, referring to him as Josh, or as his actual name was Joshua "...Indeed it is, Marilyn. Glad we picked this day to go out on a walk" Joshua said to the female, referring to her as Marilyn as she smiled at him.

Meanwhile, out of Mobius' orbit...

A Galaxy Knight Cruiser was on its way to Mobius. The Cruiser held two Galaxy Knights: Master Geronimo Kind and his Student Francis Townley. They were sent by Queen Pamela Williams of Sector 5 of the Mobian galaxy to find aid in their battle against the Twyops, who were attacking the Sector 5 planet known as Xanooiecatl.

(Just so you know, the Galaxy Knights are based on the Jedi from Star Wars, and the Twyops are based on the Sith from Star Wars, and I got inspiration for this RP from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.)

(Oh dear god XD)

Francis: Will we be able to find help in our battle against the Twyops on Mobius, master?

Geronimo: I'm sure we will, Francis. Queen Pamela sent us here for a reason.

Francis nodded as their Galaxy Knight Cruiser was making their way into Mobian orbit.

As they approached Mobius' orbit, they would see a few ships above one certain part of the planet's orbit, while there was a very large space station just casually orbiting the planet (i.e Space Colony: Ark). The station itself looked abandoned, but the ships themselves were not.

Francis: Look over there, master. It's a very large space station orbiting the planet.

Geronimo: Yes indeed, Francis. I wonder what took place over there...

Francis just shrugged and the Cruiser made its way into Mobian orbit, making its way towards Fort Zarvok.

Cruiser Pilot: We appear to have found a Mobian facility. Permission to make contact with it?

Cruiser Captain: Permission granted.

The pilot then made contact with the Zarvokian Command Center.

Before they could actually establish contact with the fort, the fort actually contacted them first on a secure channel "Unknown aircraft be advised, you are entering a restricted area. Divert course now or you will be shot down. This is your only warning, you have a few seconds to comply" A soldier said via the communication.

Cruiser Pilot: This is Sector 5 Galaxy Knight Cruiser #109, we come in peace. Can we talk to the head of this facility?

"State your business first, and we might consider it" The soldier replied.

Cruiser Pilot: We were sent by Queen Pamela Williams of Sector 5 of the Mobian galaxy, because we require assistance in our battle against the Twyops on the planet Xanooiecatl.

"...We're not aware of this 'Queen Pamela', nor of 'Sector Five' and 'Xanooiecatl.' Nevertheless however, you have clearance to land outside of the fort. Send whoever you want to speak to the Faction Leader upon your arrival... but be warned, if you try anything, we will not hesitate to shoot you" The soldier said.

Cruiser Pilot: Roger that, we will send two deputies to see the Faction Leader.

The pilot then ended the conversation and landed the Cruiser outside Fort Zarvok, then opened the doors so Geronimo and Francis could get out. They walked up to the front gates.

The soldiers at the front gates saw Geronimo and Francis approach, before the two of them allowed them entry. When they would enter the fort, they would get some eyes looking over at them as the soldiers hadn't seen those two before.

Geronimo and Francis didn't mind as they went into the fort's main facility to talk to Adex Zarvok Burns, Faction Leader of The Zarvok Federations.

...Suddenly, they could see someone running up to them, a female red furred hedgehog from the looks of it, as she approached from their left side "Hi!" She said to them in a friendly tone when she approached, looking at them with a smile.

(I changed my mind, I want her in for this part XD) (Alrighty. XD)

Geronimo and Francis smiled back.

Geronimo: Hello, young lady.

She giggled when they referred to her as a "young lady", before giving them a curious look "I haven't seen you two here before! Who are you?" She asked.

Geronimo: I am Geronimo Kind, a Galaxy Knight Master from Sector 5 of the Mobian galaxy.

Francis: And I am Francis Townley, Sir Geronimo's student.

(I'm packing in for the day, gotta get ready for bed. I'll see you tomorrow, hopefully.) (M'kay, see ya)

"My name is Jayden! It's very nice to meet you two!" She said happily to them.

Geronimo: Agreed.

Geronimo and Francis then went into the fort's main facility.

She proceeded to follow them to the fort's command center, her hands behind her back as she still had that smile.

Geronimo knocked on the command center door.

There was a soldier at the side of the door as he watched Geronimo knock on the door "...You know you can just enter, right?" He asked, as Jayden couldn't help but giggle.

Geronimo: Oh, pardon me. I'm not familiar with the systems in this foreign facility.

Geronimo and Francis then proceeded to enter the command center.

Jayden entered in as well, before she suddenly went in front of them "Pardon me! But why do you need to be in the command center anyway?" She asked them with a curious tilt to her head.

Geronimo: We were sent by Queen Pamela Williams from Sector 5 of the Mobian galaxy to find aid in our battle against the Twyops, an evil intergalactic power who are attacking the planet Xanooiecatl in Sector 5.

"Ohh, okay! So that means you want to speak to my dad then, huh?" She asked them.

Francis: Yes, if he's available, we would like to speak to him.

"Okay! Follow me!" She said, before she suddenly ran further into the command center, going down a hallway.

Geronimo and Francis followed her.

Not before long, she stopped right in front of the door before she turned around to face them "This is where his office is! Just knock and he'll answer!" She said with a smile.

Geronimo: Alright, thank you.

Geronimo knocked on the door.

"No problem!" Jayden said, before she took off running in another direction within the hallways. At that moment, a male voice could be heard "...You may enter" It said.

Geronimo and Francis entered the office and closed the door. They then bowed before Adex.

Geronimo: Good day, sir.

Francis: Yes, good day.

When they entered, they could see a red male hedgehog with four bangs on his forehead and wore a black uniform with red and orange accents that was sitting before a desk "...Greetings. And who might you two be?" The hedgehog asked.

Geronimo: I'm Geronimo Kind, a Galaxy Knight Master from Sector 5 of the Mobian galaxy, and this is my student Francis Townley.

Francis: Yes, that would be me. We were sent by Queen Pamela Williams of Sector 5 to find aid in our battle against the Twyops, who are attacking Xanooiecatl, a planet within Sector 5.

"I'm...not familiar with the sides nor locations you speak of... I assume it's somewhere far off in the different part of the vast galaxy?" He asked.

Geronimo: Sector 5 is located to the far north of the Mobian galaxy. As for the sides...How do I explain this...?

Geronimo got out a holographic transmitter showing a projection of a Galaxy Knight and a Twyops.

Geronimo: These are the Galaxy Knights, dressed in lighter colored clothing and carrying blue Energy Swords. They are on the light side, which includes Francis and me. And these are the Twyops, dressed in darker colored clothing and carrying red Energy Swords, they are on the dark side, and are our sworn enemy.

The hedgehog blinked "...So I see. Let me guess then... you require of my assistance in this endeavor, correct?" He asked.

Geronimo: Yes, we could use some of your best military power to come help us out in Sector 5.

Francis: We'd be very grateful indeed.

"...Unfortunately, there is not much aid I can lend. My nation's resources are still diverted to the war against the Keter Var Empire, while we recently recovered from an attack on this planet a couple of months ago... however" He said, before standing up from his chair with his hands behind his back "I can lend a few personnel to your cause... two of which I'd need to ask, and I have another two that have assisted us in the past" He said.

Francis: We'd be very grateful if you could lend us anyone. Anyone indeed.

"...Very well" He said, before he slid down something on his forehead to his eyes, as they looked akin to... Sunglasses? "...This is the faction leader. Please send corporal Sada and sergeant Connie to my office. Thank you" He said, before sliding the sunglasses back up to his forehead... what was that all about?

Geronimo and Francis curiously tilted their heads.

Francis: Were you talking to someone through those sunglasses?

"...It may seem like that, yes. However, that is simply not the case. These are Zarvokian BattleField Tactical HUDs. As you've seen, it allows me to contact others such as my personnel, provided they're able to get my communications anyway" He said.

Francis: Oh, alright then.

(By the way, are you fine with me putting a history of my lore on your Joshua the Hedgehog Database? I wanna keep it safe from possible vandalism.) (What do you mean by history?)

At that moment, two more individuals walked in. One of them looked to be an aqua green furred female Mobian fennec, who had pink eyes and short cyan hair, who wore a black chestplate with red outlines and orange shoulder pads worn above a black long-sleeved shirt, along with black pants with red armored knee guards that have an orange outline. The other looked to be human, who also wore the same uniform as the fennec, though unlike the fennec they wore a black helmet with orange accents and a red visor... from the looks of their body build, they looked to be female as well "...Ah, there you two are" The hedgehog said to them.

(Similar to the Zarvok Continuity in Greater Detail.) (Ohh I see. I don't mind then)

Geronimo and Francis looked at the fennec and the human.

Geronimo: This looks promising.

"Indeed. If you two may introduce yourselves, please?" The hedgehog asked the fennec and supposed human "My name is Connie, I'm a Combat Medic and sometimes a tutor" The fennec said to him "And I'm Sada, an experienced sniper and a Keterian defector" The human said... did she say she was a defector from the Keter Var Empire!?

Francis: You defected from the Keter Var Empire? Aren't they gonna hunt you down and kill you for that?

"They tried, but so far they never succeeded" Sada said, before gripping a strap on her shoulder that was an attachment to a holster on her back, which carried a sniper rifle "...Indeed. She's been with us ever since the Invasion of Laysomania" Adex said.

Francis: I see. And who are the other two who have helped your military in the past?

"...Ah, yes, the other two. They're Heroes for Hire, whose operations are in Eurish, their names are Liam and Blade. As for the other two that I also mentioned, they're fellow Zarvokians that are currently in Genesis City, their names are Joshua and Marilyn. The former two should help you out, while the latter two... well just tell them I send you two" Adex said.

Geronimo: Okay, if you can get Liam and Blade on the horn, we will go out looking for Joshua and Marilyn.

"...Very well. I shall contact the two once you go searching for the others" Adex replied "We'll be waiting for you in the meantime" Sada replied.

Geronimo nodded and he and Francis left the fort to go looking for Joshua and Marilyn.

In the meantime, Adex slid down his BFT-HUD once more to his eyes, as he attempted to establish contact with Liam and Blade over at Imsterdim.

Meanwhile, in Imsterdim...

Liam and Blade received the message and Blade answered it.

Blade: Hello, Blade Eastwood speaking.

"...Greetings" Adex spoke once Blade answered.

Blade: Ah, Mr. Adex, hello. Is there something you need from me and Liam?

"...Fancy you should ask. I am in need of your services once more" He said.

Blade: Certainly, sir. For what do you need our services?

"...If you may come over to Fort Zarvok, I may explain more upon your arrival" Adex said.

Blade: Certainly, we'll be on our way.

Blade then ended the message.

Blade: Liam, we're going back to Fort Zarvok in Downunda. The Zarvok Federations are in need of our services again.

Liam: Really? Heck yeah, I'm in!

Blade: Alright, let's get some stuff and then make our way to our airfield nearby.

Liam and Blade each packed a duffel bag with clothing, guns and some other stuff. Blade also took R.A.B.B.I.T. along, and put on a brown sheriff hat similar to Rick Grimes'. Besides the sheriff hat, Blade also wore a melon plaid gingham shirt with a tan trench coat over it, along with stonewashed blue jeans and wheat-colored boots. Liam wore a gray t-shirt with a black track jacket over it, as well black trousers and green sneakers. The brothers made their way to their airfield and got in a Titan. Blade started up the plane, and it took off for Downunda.

Meanwhile, Geronimo and Francis were out looking for Joshua and Marilyn.

...They may have came to realize that Adex didn't really give them a physical description, so it might've been hard to look for them. As for Joshua and Marilyn however, well, they were sitting down at a table outside of a cafe, enjoying a meal with each other as if they were on a date.

Geronimo: Wait, the Faction Leader didn't tell us what Joshua and Marilyn look like...

Francis saw Joshua and Marilyn sitting outside the café.

Francis: Maybe we could ask those two hedgehogs over there.

Geronimo nodded and he and Francis walked over to them.

Francis: Excuse me, we're looking for Joshua and Marilyn.

When they were walking over towards them, Marilyn appeared to be giggling as if Joshua said something funny to her. When they approached and asked their question, the two looked over to them "...That would be us" Joshua replied "Um... why are you looking for us?" Marilyn asked.

Geronimo: Your Faction Leader sent us.

"...Dad sent you?" Joshua asked them "What does he need us for?" Marilyn asked.

Geronimo: Come with us to your fort, and we will explain.

"...Very well then" Joshua said as he and Marilyn stood up, the latter of which quickly went to Joshua's right side.

As Geronimo, Francis, Joshua and Marilyn went back to Fort Zarvok, they could see Liam and Blade flying over them in their Titan as they tried to find a landing spot.

They indeed saw the Titan flying above them as they were flying over to Fort Zarvok... they couldn't quite see who was piloting it however. Nonetheless though, they continued their way over to the fort.

The Titan began nearing Fort Zarvok as Blade attempted to make contact with one of the control towers there.

Blade: These are the Monteiro Brothers Liam and Blade, do we have permission to land on your runways?

"Control tower to Monteiro aircraft, you have permission to land at the runway 2B, you may proceed with your landing" An aircraft control operator replied.

Blade: Roger, Control Tower, we will land at Runway 2B.

Blade then ended the conversation and landed the Titan at Runway 2B. He shut off the plane, and he and Liam got out. Blade then locked the plane and the brothers went into the command center, making their way to Adex's office. The brothers knocked on the door together.

"...You may enter" Adex said from inside the office.

(Why does he start most of his sentences with "..."? XD) (Seriousness. XD) (I see. XD)

The brothers entered.

Liam: Hello, Mr. Adex. We're here just as you requested.

Blade: Yes, what do you need our services for?

When they asked, they could see Connie and Sada sitting in chairs in front of Adex's desk, as the two turned to face them "...I'm glad you asked. Take a seat first however, and we'll wait for the others" Adex said, gesturing to four empty seats.

Liam and Blade nodded and they sat down two chairs. They then looked to Connie and Sada.

Blade: These ladies remind me of those badass females you see in movies and tv shows such as Terminator or Rizolli & Isles.

Liam: Yeah, I agree.

"Huh? Oh, um... thanks" Sada said while glancing at them... of course her face was still concealed by the helmet "Hehe, I'm just a tutor playing combat medic" Connie said while chuckling.

Liam: I see. I'm Liam and this is Blade.

(Calling it quits for today. See you tomorrow.) (M'kay.)

"Sada. Sada Dorsey" Sada said to them "My name is Connie, a pleasure to meet you two" Connie said to them.

Liam and Blade nodded. Geronimo and Francis then entered with Joshua and Marilyn. Liam and Blade looked awkwardly at Geronimo and Francis, because they've never seen them before.

Liam: Who the heck are these guys?

"...Liam? Blade?" Joshua said, confused that the two of them were there. Marilyn looked even more confused as she never saw the two before.

Blade: Hey, Joshua. Your father contacted us for something he needed our services for.

Liam: Yeah. So we took a plane and here we are.

They then saw Marilyn.

Blade: Well, well, who's this young lady?

"So I see..." Joshua said "Um... Hi. My name is Marilyn, and uhm... I'm a very good friend of Joshua" She said "...We're a bit more than friends, love~" Joshua said "R-Right" Marilyn mouthed, before placing her head on Joshua's should, thus revealing their relationship.

Liam and Blade smiled.

Liam: Aw, young love...

Blade: That's the sweetest love anyone can ever have.

Geronimo and Francis nodded.

Geronimo: As for us, my name is Geronimo Kind, a Galaxy Knight Master from Sector 5 of the Mobian galaxy, and this is my student Francis Townley.

Francis: Greetings.

Liam: Hey.

Blade: So, what's the catch?

"...Fancy you should ask. You two, please have a seat" Adex said to Joshua and Marilyn, who nodded before they took a seat right next to each other, as Adex cleared his throat afterwards "So, may you two explain the situation please?" Adex asked Geronimo and Francis.

Geronimo and Francis nodded and proceeded to do so. (I'm only doing this because they already explained the situation to Adex.) (Okay lol)

"Sector Five?" Connie asked "...Hm..." Joshua simply mouthed "Twyops? Xanooiecatl? ...Okay" Sada said "Um... s-so what will we be doing?" Marilyn asked.

Geronimo: Well, all of you will be flying into space with us and assist us in our battle against the Twyops.

Francis: Yes, that's what we're gonna do.

"A battle? Alright, point my rifle in any direction, and no one will see me coming" Sada said "Any wounds you have, I'll patch up" Connie said "...Direct me to the fight" Joshua said "Um... okay. But I'm only going since Joshua is" Marilyn said... everyone was on board with the idea it seemed.

Liam and Blade raised their hands.

Geronimo: Yes, boys?

Blade: We brought along some of our own weapons. Can we take them along?

Geronimo: That depends on how well they work.

Liam and Blade showed Geronimo and Francis their weapons. Geronimo carefully inspected them.

Geronimo: I'm afraid these aren't going to work...

Blade: Well, s**t.

Francis: Oh, dear, what language...

Liam: Pardon my brother's language, it's a bad habit of him.

Geronimo: I see...You could either use an Energy Sword or an Energy Blaster.

Blade: I'll gladly take the Blaster, because swords are for medieval loving b****es.

Liam: Blade, watch your language.

Blade: *sigh* Fine...

Geronimo: And what weapon would you like?

Liam: I don't mind using an Energy Sword.

Geronimo: Okay, well, we gotta get back to Sector 5, so we should go immediately. Is everyone ready to go?

"...Hold up. Why are their weapons ineffective?" Joshua asked.

Geronimo: Well, they work against the Twyops themselves just fine, but not against their battle droids.

Francis: And these types of weapons are banned in Sector 5. Queen Pamela isn't interested in primitive technology like the ones they have.

"...Battle droids? ...Okay" Joshua said while blinking "Well it's a good thing we have advanced technologies, right?" Connie replied.

Geronimo: Yes, your advanced technologies are allowed in Sector 5. Do you boys know how to handle them?

Blade: Joshua has trained me to use one before, but I'm not that experienced with them, to be honest.

Liam: I've never used the type of weapons that Zarvok practices.

Geronimo: That's gonna be a bit of a problem...

"But a problem we can fix" Sada pointed out "...She's right. With proper training, they can handle a plasma rifle or anything of the sort... might take a while however" Adex said.

Geronimo: I guess we'll have to stay on Mobius for a while until these boys are skilled enough with your Plasma weapons...

Francis: I hope the Galaxy Knights can hold out against the Twyops for so long...

"Well... not necessarily" Adex said "Doing so would take years to use one like my son can. But all they need is to known how to properly handle one, which can be done on the way there" He added.

Geronimo: That'll do.

Francis: Well, we could take along some of those Plasma Rifles for the boys to use.

Blade: Yeah. Also, I got a droid of my own. I'll show you.

Blade got out R.A.B.B.I.T., and pressed his nose to activate him. He then placed R.A.B.B.I.T. on the ground.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Greetings, lifeforms. I am R.A.B.B.I.T., a Robotic Android Battling Baddies In Time. I hope to be of assistance.

Geronimo: What can he do?

Blade: He can shapeshift, time travel, mimic voices, has a database of every person in time, he can fly and he has powerful laser eyes.

Geronimo: Laser eyes? Prove it.

R.A.B.B.I.T. then fired a red laser blast from its eyes through the wall of Adex's office, creating a large hole in it.

Geronimo: ...You proved your point.

Blade: Sorry for the hole in your office wall, Mr. Adex. We will pay for that.

"...For future reference, don't use weapons in here when you want to test them out" Adex said "Well, um... is everyone ready to go?" Marilyn asked.

Liam: I'm just about ready.

Blade: Yes, me too.

Geronimo: I'm just about ready to go as well.

Francis: Including me.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative. However, we need two Plasma Rifles for Master Liam and Master Blade.

"Very well... I will grant the both of you two C-T59 Plasma Rifles, but only for the duration of the mission" Adex said "...Alright, let's get a move on" Joshua said, before he stood up from his chair along with Marilyn "Let's go help your queen" Sada said as she also stood up, with Connie doing the same as well.

Liam and Blade stood up too to go get their C-T59 Plasma Rifles. R.A.B.B.I.T. lifted off the ground and began to fly using its ears as helicopter blades.

(Also, should we give Jayden, Quentin, Sophia and Lucas a side story to this RP?) (Speaking of which... why did you include them in? I haven't seen them at all yet XD) (True, so I will have them show up in just a bit. XD)

The five of them watched them depart, before they faced Geronimo and Francis "So, will you lead the way?" Connie asked.

Geronimo and Francis nodded.

Geronimo: Yes, we will lead you towards our Galaxy Knight Cruiser.

Francis: Come with us.

Geronimo guided Joshua, Marilyn, Connie and Sada to the Galaxy Knight Cruiser outside the fort. Not too long after that, Lucas Pierpont Vincent and his son Quentin Mick Vincent, who was released from jail in 3237 and his sister Sophia Nancy Vincent entered Adex's office. They didn't ask about the huge hole in the wall.

Lucas: Who were those robed people we've never seen before, sir?

Joshua, Marilyn, Sada, and Connie walked out and followed Geronimo and Francis, while Adex saw Lucas and his two children walk in "...A couple of people who needed assistance is all" He said.

Quentin: I believe there's more to it than that, sir.

"...Oh?" Adex mouthed, before he leaned forward on his desk, while placing his hands together "Do tell then" He said.

Quentin: I think that those guys are taking Joshua, Marilyn, Mrs. Connie, Mrs. Sada and those friends of Joshua out on a super awesome adventure while we get left out.

". . ." Adex remained silent for a bit, as he remembered the whole incident that got him a year in prison in the first place "...Seriously?" He mouthed bluntly.

Sophia: Quentin just wants a piece of the action, sir. He just feels like one of those background tv show characters who just show up every now and then but don't do much.

Quentin: ...That's...exactly how I feel, sir. My apologies for sounding rude. I just feel like a spare shoe without a pair to match. Just there to step up if there were something to happen to the more favored Zarvokians.

(I sense some fourth wall break here... XD) (I was even gonna make Quentin say something like "I gotta get my agent to get me a bigger role." XD)

"...Okay... I don't know what else to tell you, Quentin" He said.

Quentin was silent for a minute before sighing in defeat.

Quentin: If there's anything I can do, I'll be reporting for duty, sir...

Quentin then left the office. Lucas and Sophia watched as Quentin walked down the hallway out of the command center.

"Very well" Adex said as he also watched Quentin walk out of the hallway.

Lucas: Sir, there's got to be something Quentin could do. The boy's been thinking no man cares if he's alive ever since he got out of prison.

"...I'm sorry, Lucas. There's nothing anyone else can do at the present moment" Adex said. In the meantime however, as Quentin was walking down the hallway, he could see a familiar looking female hedgehog that was wandering about in the halls... she didn't notice him yet.

Quentin indeed saw her, but decided to not bother her. He just sighed and walked outside, which probably got her attention.

(Going to pack in for the day. I'll see you at dawn. At least, when it's dawn in The Netherlands.) (Okay, see ya)

She indeed did notice him, and proceeded to run up to his side... of course she was not one to be bothered easily as, well, she liked pretty much everyone "Hi Quentin!" She said happily to him upon her approach.

Quentin: Hey, Jayden...

She gave a curious tilt to him as she was facing him "Hey, what's wrong?" She asked.

Quentin: Oh, some of the Zarvokians are going on a super awesome space adventure while I have to stay home and nothing...Ever since I got of prison, I haven't done anything as far as military duties go...I can't help feeling like a spare shoe without a pair to match...Just there to step up if something were to happen to the more favorable Zarvokians like your brother...

"Aw..." She mouthed, before she quickly gave a hug to his arm "But you don't need to feel like that, it's going to be fine!" She said with a smile.

Quentin: You really think so?

Blade: She's right, dude.

Liam: Yeah, everything's going to be fine.

Blade: Let me tell you something: I was once in your shoes: I lost a potential Freedom Fighting career because of change in fathers. I fell into depression because of it, it made me feel useless, like a burden on my family. I felt no man cared if I were alive. That's when a bartender told me: "There are other ways you can prove yourself, not just by being a Freedom Fighter and such." That's when I decided to try and become a hero in a different way, I got a bit of training, and I decided to work as a Hero for Hire, and look where I am today. If you believe in yourself, you will learn that you do serve a purpose within the universe.

(Where the hell did they come from...? XD) (From the armory to get Plasma Rifles. XD.)

Jayden turned around quickly when she heard them, even becoming a bit startled as well as she didn't even know they were at the fort "Blade? Liam? ...Hi!" She said to them with a smile.

Liam: Hi, Jayden.

Blade: Hi.

Quentin: Thanks, dude. I'll definitely try that.

Blade: Okay. But we gotta go now. We'll see you some other time.

Liam and Blade then went to the Galaxy Knight Cruiser.

"Not before giving me a hug you won't!" Jayden said with a giggle, before she ran up from behind to hug Liam first.

Liam giggled and returned the hug. Blade hugged Jayden next.

Blade: Stay safe, Jayden.

"You too!" Jayden said as she hugged Blade, and then went back to Quentin's side, waving Blade and Liam off.

Liam and Blade boarded the Galaxy Knight Cruiser.

Geronimo: Ah, you're here. So, you got everything? Didn't forget to pack anything?

Liam: Not at all.

Blade: I believe we got everything we need.

Francis: Right, off we go then.

Joshua, Marilyn, Connie, and Sada had already gathered their equipment, and had already boarded the cruiser. They were looking around to cruiser to see what it had to offer.

The Cruiser had a shooting range, up to 16 personal quarters, a meeting room with a table where up to 8 people could sit at, a medical bay where up to 16 people could be hospitalised, a workshop where weapons, droids and vehicles could be crafted and a tv room with a ping pong table.

Blade: Wow, this Cruiser's got quite a lot of additions!

Geronimo: Yes, Queen Pamela wants to ensure that the Galaxy Knights are well prepared for long trips, so we've added quite some features to our Cruisers.

"Hmm... interesting. Shall we, Marilyn?" Joshua said "Sure" She replied, as the two went to go find a personal quarters for each other. Sada and Connie went to go do the same as well.

The Cruiser took off for Sector 5 as Quentin watched with Jayden. Quentin sighed.

Quentin: Well, guess I'll just sit around in my quarters, doing nothing...

Jayden also watched, before she looked at Quentin "Can I come with? I don't want to leave you there by yourself!" She asked.

(Y'know, we should really think of a plot for a side story for Jayden and the Vincents.) (I can't think of anything tho XD) (I'll think of something as we continue.)

Quentin: Sure, you can come.

"Okay! Lead the way!" She said with a smile.

Quentin smiled back and took Jayden to his personal quarters, where he had a Shaystation 4. It had a game called Grand Theft Knuckles 5 in it, which featured a multiplayer mode called Grand Theft Knuckles Online.

Jayden looked around the personal quarters with interest, though didn't notice the Shaystation for whatever reason "Ooo. I never been in here before, it looks so nice in here!" She said.

Quentin: Thanks. It's not much, but it's home. Also, ignore the SnackDonald's bags in the room. I use them as trashcans.

"SnackDonalds? Um... okay!" She said before giggling a bit.

(I think I got an idea for a side story for Jayden and the Vincents. How about Graham Smithers' cousin has taken over the Inquisitors, and Jayden and the Vincents have to stop him?) (Okay) (Should we create a seperate RP page for the side story?) (I'unno.) (I'll make one.)

Quentin awkwardly chuckled.

She then clung onto his arm as she smiled.

Quentin smiled back.

"So what do you want to do?" She asked.

Quentin: Do you like shooting games?

"...Shooting games?" She asked.

Meanwhile, on the Galaxy Knight Cruiser...

After picking their quarters, Sada and Connie decided to explore the ship, Sada eventually coming across the firing range, where she began to practice with her Wextre Dark-Matter Sniper Rifle, while Connie went into the medical bay to see what sort of equipment they had. Joshua and Marilyn on the other hand, remained in their quarters.

Liam and Blade were practicing with their C-T59 Plasma Rifles. They were next to Sada.

Liam: Using these is a bit tough...

Blade: I've used one before, so it's a bit easier for me.

Liam: Understood...

They could see Sada lining her target with her sniper rifle, making sure her aim was precise enough, before firing a dark matter beam at a target, which aimed at it's chest region.

Liam and Blade hit their targets as well, aiming for the chest as well.

Sada glanced over to them to watch them practicing, but pretended like she wasn't watching.

Liam and Blade didn't pay attention to Sada watching them and continued to practice their C-T59 skill.

(Of course they wouldn't pay attention, she's pretending she's not watching XD)

Sada looked over to the targets to see how precise their shots were.

Blade landed more precise shots than Liam, which is logical, as Liam had never used a C-T59 before.

"...Hm" She mouthed aloud, before she went back to practicing herself.

Meanwhile, Francis was walking through the Cruiser and walked by Joshua and Marilyn's quarters. He decided to take a look and knocked on the door.

"...Yes?" A male voice asked from inside the room, sounding to be Joshua.

Francis: It's Francis. Am I allowed to come inside?

"...You may" Joshua said.

Francis then entered.

Francis: How are you two doing?

The two of them seemed to be on the same bed together, whilst cuddling with each other "We're doing okay" Marilyn said "...Mm-hm" Joshua mouthed in agreement.

Francis: I'm glad to hear that.

"Um... did you need anything?" Marilyn asked him.

Francis: I am just checking on you two, that's all.

"Oh. Well... we're alright for right now" Marilyn said "Mm-hm... so if it's not too much to ask, we'll like some privacy" Joshua said.

Francis: Yes, of course.

Francis then left the room.

After a long trip, the Cruiser arrived at the planet Oaf, the capital of Sector 5. The Cruiser landed outside of the royal palace.

Liam: Where are we?

Francis: We're on Oaf, the capital of Sector 5. Before we go into battle, we need to see the queen to let her know we've found aid in our battle against the Twyops.

Liam: Oh, I see.

The two of them nodded to him as he left the room, before the two began to snuggle up with each other for the entire trip, not even knowing they had landed. Connie and Sada on the other hand were aware, as they looked outside any windows present to see the palace "So this is where the queen is? I wonder what she's like" Connie said.

Geronimo: She's very friendly to those she considers allies, you'll like her. Come, follow us to the throne room.

Geronimo and Francis got off the Cruiser, with Liam, Blade and R.A.B.B.I.T. following them into the palace.

"Alright, we'll follow" Sada said, as she and Connie proceeded to follow them off of the Cruiser to enter the palace... before the latter realized they were missing a couple of people "Wait! What about Joshua and Marilyn?" She asked.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: My sensors conclude that they are still aboard the Cruiser, engaging in a strange mating ritual.

(...They're not having sex, you f*ck. XD) (I know, but since R.A.B.B.I.T. is a robot, he doesn't understand the concept of love and the things you do when you're in love, which includes cuddling. XD) (Apparently ' w')

"Um... mating? I don't think they'll be doing that at a time like this... let me go check" Connie said as she went to go back on the cruiser.

The rest of the group just waited for them to return.

Geronimo: I wonder what they're up to...

Blade: Beats me...

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative.

After about a couple of minutes, Connie came back into view with Joshua and Marilyn behind her, before the three of them approached the others "...So this is the queen's palace? Interesting" Joshua said.

Geronimo: Yes, it's quite a palace a queen like ours deserves. Now, follow us to the throne room.

Everyone proceeded to follow Geronimo and Francis to the throne room before they entered. Queen Pamela Williams was sitting on the throne. She appeared to look like a human, and she had a white painted face with dark red lipstick, black hair tied into a bun and wore a dark red kimono with green dress shoes and a golden square crown.

Queen Pamela: Ah, Sir Geronimo and Sir Francis, you have returned...Are these the aid you managed to gather from Mobius?

Geronimo: Yes, my queen, these are the Heroes for Hire Liam and Blade with their robotic companion, R.A.B.B.I.T., as well as Zarvokians Joshua, Marilyn, Connie and Sada.

Liam and Blade: At your service.

The brothers bowed in respect.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative, I am honored to be at your service.

"...Greetings" Joshua mouthed as he was introduced "Hello, ma'am" Marilyn said as she bowed politely "We're happy to aid you" Connie said "So, what do you need us to do?" Sada asked.

Queen Pamela: I need all of you to go out there with Sir Geronimo and Sir Francis to go battle against the Twyops, as they are planning to rule Sector 5 in its entirety.

"...Um. I'm pretty sure we're aware of that" Joshua said "What I mean is, how do you want us to do it? Like, where do we begin?" Sada asked.

Queen Pamela: You could start by taking out the Twyops that are attacking Xanooiecatl. Use any advanced weaponry you have to take them all out.

"...Very well" Joshua said "Do you know where they are?" Connie asked.

Queen Pamela activated a holographic map of Xanooiecatl in thin air.

Queen Pamela: The Twyops have captured the Galaxy Knight Airbase over here, the Galaxy Knight Outpost over here, and Galaxy Knight Citadel over here. Sir Geronimo and Sir Francis should lead you right to them.

"Okay. Which one are we getting first?" Sada asked, while she and the other three looked at the two galaxy knights.

Geronimo: We're going to liberate the Airbase first. Let's get back on our Galaxy Knight Cruiser and head for Xanooiecatl.

"Okay. Let's go" Connie said "Point my rifle anywhere you'd like" Sada said as well, while Joshua looked over at Marilyn "Are you ready for this?" He whispered to her "I... I'm ready whenever I'm with you" She whispered back "...Very well" Joshua whispered, smiling slightly.

Liam: Here we go.

Blade: Let's get going.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Alright.

Everyone exited the palace and boarded the Galaxy Knight Cruiser, which took off for Xanooiecatl once everyone was on board.

Joshua, Marilyn, Connie, and Sada followed them as boarded the cruiser.

(Seperating the chapters now.)

Chapter II: The Twyops Menace
Everyone was sitting around the pilot as the Cruiser made its way towards Xanooiecatl.

Liam: This is pretty exciting.

Blade: Well, I wouldn't exactly call flying on our way to certain death exciting, Liam.

Liam: True, true...

Blade: I think this would be a great way for everyone to introduce themselves and tell where they're from. I'll start. Hi, my name is Blade Eastwood. Together with my brother Liam, I'm from the future. I was born in 3249, on Bygone Island. When I was out on a family trip in 3267, I saw a group of vigilantes known as the Future Freedom Fighters out on a mission. That inspired me to become one myself, and I trained myself to perfection. However, I was turned down for the Future Freedom Fighters team because one of its members sensed a lot of fear in me. I became rather depressed because of it, and I vowed to get revenge on that member. Together with Liam, I stole an Eternity Time Watch from a laboratory and traveled back to 3236 to carry out my vengeance, which failed. However, with the help of Liam and a friendly bartender, I got motivated to try out a different vigilante career, after which I was given a brief training by Joshua and left with Liam for Imsterdim, Eurish, where we settled and became Heroes for Hire. Joshua, why don't you share your story with the group?

"...Eh? Me?" Joshua said surprised when Blade called him up to share his story, with Marilyn, Connie, and Sada looking at the two.

Blade: Yeah, tell us about where you came from.

"Er... well, not much to say really... though if you must know, I was born right after the Great War ended on Mobotropolis, and... well, the rest is mostly a blur besides when you came to me a couple of years or so, with everything happening afterwards should be known by now" He said with a shrug.

(Apparently he doesn't really like to talk about his past, which is understandable.) (No sh*t, lol)

Blade: I see. Liam, why don't you share your story with the rest?

Liam: Sure. I was born around 3257, in Station Square. When I was 5 years old, my parents were killed by a creepy human man with a gun. The human man escaped, and I survived the attack, after which I was sent to an orphanage. 3 years later, Blade's parents adopt me because they couldn't produce any more kids themselves after giving birth to Blade.

Blade: Yeah, my mama didn't have anymore eggs to hatch, so to speak. You, Mrs. Fennec, what about you?

"Oh, me? Well are you sure you want to know this tutor's story?" Connie asked with a chuckle "W...Wait, 3257? But that's almost two decades from now" Marilyn said.

Blade: I did say we were from the future, Marilyn. We know things that are gonna happen decaded from now. But we won't tell what.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: If you're interested, I could show you.

"R... Right. Um... no thank you, I don't want to know" Marilyn said to R.A.B.B.I.T.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative. I won't show you then.

(If you wanna know what R.A.B.B.I.T. looks like, he's got pictures on Blade's page. XD)

Blade: Anyway, go on with your story, Mrs. Fennec.

"Right" Connie mouthed "So I was born on 3189 in Mobotropolis back when it was still around. When I was little, I thought about being a caretaker and a teacher. I worked hard and sure enough, I got a job as a caretaker. I cared for many children in my line of work. I even cared for Joshua when he was little when..." She paused before she gave a quick glance at him "...when his father went on vacation for a while. Then when Zarvok was founded, I was again called to care for him, and eventually I became his personal tutor. Though I also wanted to care for the other soldiers, so... I got a side-job as a combat medic with my expertise in healing. And sure enough, here we are now" Connie said.

Liam and Blade nodded.

Blade: Interesting. Glad you're doing well for yourself.

Liam: Yes.

Blade: Mr. Geronimo, why don't you share your story with the group?

Geronimo: Right, I was born on the planet Brevicia in 3198 (actually Mobius is thousands of years into Earth's future, so... yeh. XD). Despite all odds, I was born for greatness. I was named after my grandfather, who was a Galaxy Knight himself. At age 20, I enlisted in the Galaxy Knight Army and served them for a while. Then, my mother died and my father started drinking himself to death. I was forced to return home and care for my two brothers, all the while continuing to teach younglings the way of the Galaxy Knight, dedicating myself to my passion. Once my brothers were old enough to take care of themselves, I continued my service as a Galaxy Knight. About 5 years ago, I took Francis under my wing and Francis is close to completing his training as of now.

Liam: I see. I am sorry to hear about what happened to your parents, sir.

Geronimo: It's alright, my boy. It's all in the past, and I'm looking towards the future now.

Liam: Okay.

"...Mm" Joshua mouthed "What about you, Francis?" Sada asked.

Francis: I was born on the planet Overtropolis in 3202. I never knew my father and my mother became a moon rock addict when I was very little. As a young boy I heard many stories about how my father was physically abusive towards my mother, which possibly caused her to get addicted to moon rocks. My father left my mother when she was still pregnant with me. My mother's moon rock addiction led to her death when I was very young. Following this, I moved in with my maternal grandparents. My grandmother constantly spoiled me, and when I was in high school, I decided to become a Galaxy Knight. 5 years ago I was taken under Master Geronimo's wing, and, like he said, I'm about to complete my training as of now.

"...Hm" Joshua mouthed again "Well that's, um... interesting" Sada said "Mm-hm" Marilyn mouthed.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Your turn to share, Mrs. Marilyn.

"Me? Um... I'm not exactly... comfortable with that" Marilyn said.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Come on, don't be shy.

Blade: Hey, lay off her, R.A.B.B.I.T.. If she's not comfortable with it, then she won't talk about it.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: We're on our way to certain death, bonding, sharing our personal stories, and she's sitting here, soaking it up and giving nothing in return.

Blade: Pardon me for R.A.B.B.I.T.'s behavior. His 5A55 App was activated, I'll deactivate it.

Blade deactivated R.A.B.B.I.T.'s 5A55 app.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: I am very sorry for the words I just spoke. It won't happen again. I promise you all.

Blade: Okay. Mrs. Keterian, why don't you share now?

That furthered Marilyn's discomfort as she began having second thoughts about coming along in the first place, even with R.A.B.B.I.T's apology. It was only with Joshua realizing her discomfort and worries, which he pulled her closer to him and whispered "I'm not going to let you die" to her while providing her with some comfort, were those second thoughts suppressed and reassured. Seemed with Joshua, she was more confident to do anything. Sada on the other hand, looked at Blade "You're referring to me, right?" She asked.

Blade: Yes, I am.

"Well, alright... I was born on the planet Laysomania in... well I don't know the Mobian calendar all that well still to be honest, so I'll just say it in Keterian years. I was born on 3638 (exactly 426 years from 3212, her birthdate in the Mobian calendar). I had a good childhood, with a nice family and a promising future... but then I was conscripted when I was eighteen. Ever since then I was... treated poorly by my fellow comrades, and... it wasn't a nice experience. So much so that when Laysomania was invaded by Zarvok a few months ago, I was given a chance to defect and took it. And now here I am, in better hands as a Zarvokian sniper" She said.

Blade: Okay. Alright, only R.A.B.B.I.T. left. I was there, I'll back the facts.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative. Master Blade created me when he was 12 years old, in 3261. He had a thing for building robots, so he built me and kept me as a pet/companion. I'm still extremely grateful for being created by Master Blade to this very day. I am forever in his debt.

"...So I see" Joshua mouthed "Blade created you? He must be quite the robotics expert then" Connie said.

Blade: I certainly am. I am actually planning on creating a robot squad. You see, your Mark I Fulgore has inspired me to do it. I am callling this project: Project: Bot.

"Project: Bot? ...Er... not exactly good with names I take it?" Joshua asked as Marilyn couldn't help but chuckle a bit.

Blade sweatdropped.

Blade: Not exactly...

"...Eh, it's fine" Joshua said while shrugging.

Cruiser Pilot: Brace yourselves, we're almost at Xanooiecatl.

Blade: You hear that, guys? We're almost there. Well, let's get ready for battle.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative. I better switch to a more combat-suitable form.

R.A.B.B.I.T. then used his shapeshifting powers to transform into Mark I Fulgore.

"...Eh?" Joshua mouthed as he saw it shape-shift into Fulgore "Is that... Fulgore!?" Sada said, completely surprised.

Blade: Yes, R.A.B.B.I.T. is able to shapeshift into any person across time, including Fulgore.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative. I like to use the form of the Mark I Fulgore as it is a combat-suitable form.

Cruiser Pilot: Brace yourselves, we're landing.

The Cruiser landed on Xanooiecatl and opened the doors so everyone could get off.

"O-Okay..." Sada said, surprisingly stuttered with that last bit as she backed up from R.A.B.B.I.T a bit. Joshua and the others then noticed them land "Mm, we're here?" Joshua asked.

Francis: Yes, we're here. Let's go and liberate the Galaxy Knight Airbase on this planet. We've got speederbikes for everyone.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: No need to get me a speederbike. I can fly by myself.

Francis: Okay. Gentlemen, can you get out the speederbikes for our guests?

The Cruiser personnel then brought out Galaxy Knight Jumpspeeders for everyone except R.A.B.B.I.T..

Geronimo: Have you ever rode a flying bike before?

Liam: Not really.

Blade: Me neither.

"A... speederbike?" Joshua asked "N...No, I haven't" Marilyn said "I don't think anyone of us have" Sada said.

Geronimo: I see...Well, we could give you all a quick tutorial on how to use one.

Geronimo and Francis both got on a speederbike and demonstrated how to use it.

The four of them watched as they demonstrated on how to use it "...So it's like a motorcycle. That means two are able to be on one, correct?" Joshua asked.

Geronimo: Pretty much.

"...Alright" Joshua said before he faced Marilyn "Do you want to share one?" He asked "S...Sure, I'd love to" Marilyn replied, which Joshua nodded in acknowledgement "That leaves one for the rest of us then" Sada said.

Liam: Let's go then.

Geronimo and Francis nodded. Liam and Blade each got on a speederbike as R.A.B.B.I.T., in his Fulgore form activated a hover function.

Joshua and Marilyn then got onto the same speeder bike, the former operating it while the later had her arms around him, holding him tight. Sada and Connie on the other hand got on their own speeder bikes.

Once everyone got on a speederbike, they took off for the Xanooiecatl Galaxy Airbase, which was taken over by the Twyops. Soon, the Airbase appeared at the horizon.

The four of them followed them on the speederbikes, while everyone eventually saw the airbase coming into view "So what's our plan of attack?" Connie asked.

Geronimo: We're going in, we're taking out all the Twyyops we can, we liberate the airbase.

"...So just rush in and attack?" Joshua asked.

Geronimo: Pretty much.

"...You may do that if you wish, but I believe a different approach is needed" Joshua said.

Geronimo: Okay. Do you have an approach that could work?

"Mm-hm. First we'd ought to recon the airbase first to see what defenses they have in store for us. Once we have an idea of their defenses, we'll plan accordingly for an effective offensive" Joshua said, which Sada looked at them "With my rifle, I'm able to see from afar. It won't take long for me to set up and look around" She said.

Blade: Okay, that should get the job done.

Liam: Yes, let's try that.

Geronimo: Indeed. Let's scope out the place and then go on the offensive.

"...Mm-hm" Joshua mouthed "I'll move ahead and scout them out. Wait here" Sada said to them, before she took off towards the base on the speederbike. She would stop however when she was halfway before stopping to a halt and hopping off.

The rest of the crew awaited Sada's return.

Sada then ran up to what would possibly be a hill, before she went prone on the ground with her rifle. She looked through her scope towards the airbase, as she began scouting it for any defenses it had.

There were men in white armored suits patrolling the base. They carried large blasters that would probably be the size of a C-T59 Plasma Rifle. There were also burly humanoid droids guarding the base, as well as heavily armored hovering jeeps with turrets flying around the base. Finally, the base was protected by a 5 layer Plasma shield.

"Hmm... they have a shield" Sada thought to herself, before she used her scope to begin looking around for the source of the shielding.

The source of the shielding did not appear to on the outside of the base, meaning it was somewhere inside the base.

In fact, Sada was actually looking in the airbase's interior perimeter rather than it's outer, as she continued to look for the source.

The shielding source appeared to be in the basement of the main command center (If that's what you mean by interior perimeter.). (No. XD) (Oh. XD)

While Sada didn't see the basement itself, she did see that the shield was originating from the command center of the airbase "Gotcha" She muttered to herself, before she stood up and ran back to her speederbike down the hill. When she got back on it, she headed back to the group to give her recon report.

(But... she didn't give it yet. XD) (*facepalm*) (It's still your turn, lol)

Liam: So, what did you find?

Sada came back on her speederbike just when Liam asked his question "I scouted their base. They have some white armored infantry accompanied by some automatons and flying... I'm gonna say jeeps. They have a plasma shield as well, which I pinpointed it's source to be at their command center" Sada said.

Liam titled his head.

Liam: White armored infantry?

Francis: I think she's referring to the Hurricanetroopers (An obvious take on the Stormtroopers from Star Wars. XD).

Geronimo: Yes, she is. Now, we have to find a way to bypass all of these defenses.

"...Hurricanetroopers? ...A rather odd name of an infantry class" Joshua said "Um... I have an idea" Marilyn said, raising her hand a bit.

Geronimo: Yes, Marilyn? What is this idea you have?

"Um... never mind, i... it's stupid" Marilyn said "...Nonsense, Marilyn" Joshua said to her while facing her "You can tell us. We won't judge you" He added in a compassionate, reassuring tone, before facing the others with a serious expression "...Right, guys?" He said... hoo boy, he didn't want them to insult her or anything.

Liam: We won't.

Blade: Not at all.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative, we won't judge her whatsoever.

Geronimo: The bunny droid's right, you can tell us, and we won't judge you.

Francis: Yes, so what's your plan?

Joshua nodded to them before he faced Marilyn "Okay, um... we can always just... infiltrate through the shield and take them out from the inside?" She said.

Francis: That could work, but how are we gonna do it?

"...We just walk through the shield so we're inside it's protection like the rest of them?" Marilyn said.

Francis: ...We could try that. Do the rest of you think this could work?

Geronimo: It's worth a shot.

Blade: I agree.

Liam: Let's give it a try.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative.

"R... Really? You want to do this?" Marilyn asked "...But of course Marilyn. After all, we're using their own protection against them" Joshua said "We'll follow through with your plan, hon" Connie said.

(Sometimes I'm thinking of cosplaying as JSB, though I think it'll be difficult to get his exact outfit together. XD) (...Oh god, lel)

Geronimo and Francis nodded.

Geronimo: Well, are we all set to go in?

"We are ready to go" Sada said "M... Mm-hm" Marilyn mouthed "...Let's take back the airbase" Joshua said.

Everyone got on their speederbike and charged towards the airbase.

The others proceeded to follow them on the speederbikes, with Joshua and Marilyn still on the same on, the latter holding onto the former tightly.

Everyone arrived at the airbase and barged their way into the base by going through the shield on their speederbikes. The alarms sounded and a huge shootout erupted as the Hurricanetroopers and burly droids began firing their weapons at the group. The group got into any cover they could find and drew their weapons. Liam and Blade began using their C-T59 Plasma Rifles that Adex let them borrow. Geronimo and Francis drew some blasters, which were their secondary weapons and fired them. As for R.A.B.B.I.T...He used whatever useful ability he had while taking on the form of the Mark I Fulgore.

Joshua and Marilyn would do go into cover, while the former simply drew his modified C-T59 out and fired at the hostiles, which he looked into the rifle's reflex scope as he fired semiautomatic plasma bolts. Marilyn on the other hand simply hit behind the cover for a bit, before drawing out her modified DR51 Plasma Pistol. She took a few breaths, and emerged from her cover to fire her pistol at the hostiles, focusing mainly on the burly droids. Connie accompanied the group as well, which of course she got into cover, before drawing out a pair of submachine guns, one of them a YN4 Dark Matter Submachine Gun, and the other was a C-T45 Plasma Submachine Gun. Although they were mostly suited for close to medium range, she emerged from her cover and fired anyways.

As for Sada, well, she preferred to be a distance as she stopped her speederbike way before the group did, which she took aim with her X9-ML4 Antimatter Rifle, and fired at any hostile whilst aiming for the head. As for R.A.B.B.I.T, if he was at a distance, he'd be using Fulgore's plasma beam visor and plasma hand cannons/flamethrowers. If he went up close and personal, he would be using Fulgore's plasma claws... and possibly any of the mentioned weapons above.

* WRRRRRRRRRRRRR* R.A.B.B.I.T., in the form of the Mark I Fulgore, began using the plasma hand cannons to pick off any hostile he could hit.

As the crew engaged in the firefight, the Hurricanetroopers and the burly droids began to succumb to the heavy amount of counterfire. However, more Hurricanetroopers and burly droids emerged from the base's barracks as well a hatch in the ground.

Liam: There's more coming out the barracks behind us! As well as that hatch over there!

Blade began taking care of the Hurricanetroopers coming from behind, while Liam dealt with the burly droids coming from the hatch.

Blade: The weather's stormy, hold on tight!

Geronimo and Francis continued to fire their blasters at the hostiles.

Francis: The Twyops are going to be one step closer to ruling Sector 5 if we go down!

Geronimo: The Twyops are one step closer to defeat if we make it through this firefight!

The others noticed the Hurricanetroopers coming in from behind, which Connie took measures to redirect her aim at the front to the behind, which she charged towards them with her SMGs firing at them. She wasn't necessarily speedy, but those dual-wielded SMGs of hers were quite deadly at close range. Sada would support Connie, firing her rifle at any Hurricanetroopers that looked like they could get the drop on Connie, while having to reload an antimatter canister whenever she reached seven shots.

Joshua and Marilyn on the other hand, focused their attention on the front, which the former was still firing his rifle at the hostile troops, occasional shots hitting his Chaos Shield, while shots zipped by Marilyn, who fired a few shots with her DR51 before hiding behind cover, taking some breathes as the situation was very intense for her. Though to help bring the situation closer to an end, she set the pistol down on the ground in front of her, and put her hands together... before slightly separating them, and a small fireball appeared in the middle of her hands, which got larger the further Marilyn's hands slowly spread apart.

(Sweet. C:)

R.A.B.B.I.T. continued to use Fulgore's plasma hand cannons, as well as Fulgore's plasma beam visor, ripping apart any hostile that got within firing range.

Liam continued to fire at the burly droids coming from the hatch from the front, while Blade supported Sada and Connie by continuing to fire at the Hurricanetroopers coming from behind. Geronimo and Francis did what they could do.

Connie and Sada were just doing what they were doing, the former having hostile blaster fire zoom pass around her as she was firing her SMGs... and then they stopped firing, which she noticed. Realizing what had happened, she tried as fast as she could to get into cover to fix the problem... as she had ran out of ammo.

Joshua meanwhile was still firing his modified C-T59 on the front lines, while Marilyn continued to make the fireball grow larger and larger... until it was the size of her head. Once it had reached that size, she emerged from her cover, and threw the fireball at the hostile forces.

A large portion of Hurricanetroopers and burly droids were incinerated by Marilyn's fireball, with the Hurricanetroopers screaming in pain. Liam looked at Marilyn in disbelief, not able to believe that she just did that.

Marilyn heard the screaming Hurricanetroopers and... covered her mouth in shock and guilt while her eyes were eyes were widened. She hadn't realized they were living people, and in turn made her go back into her cover with her mouth still covered. She didn't want to hurt no one, just the robots. Joshua while firing his rifle had noticed this, and was afraid this would happen. As such, since the two were in the same cover, he had stopped firing so he could snap Marilyn out of her shocked and guilted state by comforting her.

Blade continued to support Connie and Sada by firing away at the Hurricanetroopers coming from behind. R.A.B.B.I.T. took care of the remaining Hurricanetroopers and burly droids coming from the front.

Sada was still firing her rifle at the hostile troops, while Connie had already reloaded the plasma battery and dark matter canister into her weapons, and thus continued her assault.

Soon, all of the Twyops forces at the airbase were wiped out.

Geronimo: I think that's all the Twyops got at this airbase.

Connie and Sada were looking around the airbase to see that the enemy forces had been wiped out "We... got them all? That's quite surprising" Sada said while holding her rifle.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative, we have gotten them all.

Francis: We did good out here. But we're not done yet on Xanooiecatl. We still have to liberate the Galaxy Knight Outpost and the Galaxy Knight Citadel.

"Of course. But at least with the airbase, your people can take control of the skies again" Connie said. Joshua and Marilyn on the other hand... were not acknowledging the group in anyway, as the former was still comforting the latter about her shocked guilt over the Hurricanetroopers she didn't mean to kill.

Francis: Yes, we will contact the Galaxy Knights and tell them the airbase has been liberated so that they can return.

Francis then proceeded to contact the Galaxy Knights.

The two of them nodded in response, before Sada went to go patrol the perimeter in case any reinforcements came their way. Connie on the other hand just stood there and watched Francis, while Joshua was still trying to comfort Marilyn.

Liam and Blade kept an eye out for any reinforcements that might arrive.

Francis: Okay, the Galaxy Knights are returning to Xanooiecatl to guard the airbase. We'll have to stay here until they arrive.

"Okay, that sounds like a plan" Connie said to Francis, while Sada continued to patrol the airbase. Joshua and Marilyn still doing their thing.

Liam and Blade, along with R.A.B.B.I.T., who was still taking the form of the Mark I Fulgore, patrolled the base too.

(I love on how no one notices Marilyn lol) (Don't worry, I'll get on that.)

Sada was alongside them with her rifle in her hands, her keen eyes already on alert for any potential intruder.

Liam and Geronimo both noticed Marilyn's emotional distress and went over to her.

Geronimo: Hey, Marilyn, are...are you okay?

Marilyn was sitting down on the ground with her legs curled up, her arms wrapped around them, and her head buried in them, while Joshua was sitting beside her, trying to calm her down. He looked up at Liam and Geronimo when they approached, with the latter asking his question to Marilyn "N-No, I'm not" Marilyn replied with her head still buried, sounding quite guilty of herself.

Geronimo and Liam knelt besides Marilyn.

Geronimo: Was it about the battle with the Twyops troops?

"Y-Yes" She said, her head still buried and still sounding guilty "...It was the ones in the white armor. She... wasn't aware that they were, well, 'alive'" Joshua said to them.

Geronimo: I see...

Liam: Well, there's no need to worry about it, Marilyn. You did what you had to do to help the Galaxy Knights win back their territory. I'm sure you will be forgiven by the gods.

"G... Gods?" Marilyn mouthed confused, which caused her to slightly raise her head to face Liam. Apparently being religious wasn't the source of her guilt.

(I might not be religious myself, but I do believe in the afterlife. They call that a practicing atheist, I think. XD (Personally I'm an Agnostic, lol) (What's an Agnostic?)

Liam: Oh, I was referring to the gods above. I kinda believe in a Mobian god.

Geronimo: I think religion is not why she's distressed, Liam...Tell us, Marilyn, why are you so upset about killing someone?

"I... It's just not right, killing someone... t-they have lives just as we do, and to take that away from them is... is..." She buried her head into her legs again without saying another word, though some silent crying could be heard from her.

Liam stroked her back to comfort her. He didn't like it when people were sad.

Joshua of course didn't like seeing Marilyn sad either, and was quick to give her a comforting hug to her side, which was sort of a rare thing to see from him... well unless if it was his sister that he was hugging.

Geronimo just kept kneeling next to the three, understanding Marilyn's sadness. He didn't like to kill living people either, and preferred to neutralize his opponents instead.

...Then, from out of nowhere, Marilyn hugged Joshua back as her head was buried in his right shoulder, her crying still persisting while it became a little bit louder. Joshua... didn't look surprised by this, like as if he expected this to happen. Nonetheless though, he kept the hug going and even placed a hand on the back of her head to softly caress it.

Liam sat next to the two with his head down. He felt like he was going to cry too. Geronimo noticed this and offered Liam a hug. Liam accepted it and he buried his head in Geronimo's chest, silently crying. (nohomo) (Hush, lol.)

Joshua's ear couldn't help but twitch, before he looked over to Liam and Geronimo "...Why is he crying?" He asked.

Geronimo: I think he's crying because Marilyn is...

"...Oh. I see..." Joshua said, as he looked over at Liam. He... really couldn't do anything for him since he was busy comforting Marilyn, who was still crying in his shoulder. So he just sorta... gave a concerned look.

Geronimo continued to comfort Liam.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: I don't mean to disrupt your gloomy situation, but we have a large fleet of Twyops fighter jets coming our way. They know we took the airbase.

Joshua looked over to R.A.B.B.I.T when he spoke, while Marilyn turned to face him as well, though her head was still on Joshua's shoulder "...Fighter jets? The hell are we supposed to do against those?" He asked.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Very well. Leave the fighter jets to me.

R.A.B.B.I.T. then shapeshifted into a homing missile cannon, shooting homing missiles at the fighter jets.

The two of them watched as R.A.B.B.I.T turned into a god damned Surface to Air Missile launcher "...How does that even...?" Joshua said aloud.

Blade: R.A.B.B.I.T. can turn into anything, except things that are smaller than him, such as a mouse, a chess piece or an ant.

"...I don't think I'm ever going to understand, but it's best I don't" Joshua said as he just watched R.A.B.B.I.T fire it's missiles at the fighter jets.

R.A.B.B.I.T. managed to blast a few fighter jets out of the sky, while the rest avoided them and fired their machine guns at the airbase courtyard. Blade ducked down to avoid the gunfire and Francis, Geronimo and Liam dove away to avoid the gunfire.

Joshua shielded Marilyn with his Chaos Shield since he was hugging her, while Sada and Connie were forced to dive into any available cover.

R.A.B.B.I.T. continued to fire homing missiles at the remaining fighter jets, and downed all of them.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: I took care of those fighter jets, but they are now arriving in space attack helicopters, as well as hi-tech space tanks. The weather is stormy, so we should hold on tight and take on any heat the Twyops can throw at us.

Francis: Yes, we have to hold out until the Galaxy Knights arrive.

"...Space attack helicopters?" Joshua said, blinking in disbelief.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: See for yourself and you will see I am right.

"...I didn't say I didn't believe you, it's just... how?" Joshua said, before he looked off in the distance, with Sada and Connie doing the same. Sada of course put her left eye right on the scope of her rifle, to get a closer view on the distance.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Even I do not know how helicopters are able to exist in space.

As Joshua, Sada and Connie were looking off in the distance, they could see attack helicopters and hi-tech space tanks approaching the airbase, just like R.A.B.B.I.T. was saying. Blade could see them too.

Blade: R.A.B.B.I.T. wasn't kidding, they're coming our way!

"...Cripes. R.A.B.B.I.T, I have a feeling your S.A.M mode is still needed" Joshua said, as the others saw the incoming force.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative. Sending the Twyops going out with a bang.

R.A.B.B.I.T. then fired a barrage of homing missiles towards the approaching Twyops troops, annihilating them.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Twyops troops annihilated.

Blade: Well done, buddy. I'm proud of you.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Thank you, Master Blade. I'm blushing. We cannot let our guard down yet, because there is a huge amount of Twyops controlled pterodactyls coming our way.

Blade: Bob Rafei's ballsack, he's right!

Blade pointed at a large amount of pterodactyls flying towards the airbase.

"W... What are those!?" Marilyn exclaimed in shock, as the others looked at them as well "...I'm sorry, what?" Joshua thought to himself as he saw them approach.

Geronimo: Those are Gyaos. They're pterosaurs, and they live out here in Sector 5 and it's surrounding parts of the Mobian galaxy. They can be dangerous.

"Well... we have to take them out then... RABBIT" Joshua said, before facing R.A.B.B.I.T.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative. Shooting down these Gyaos right now.

R.A.B.B.I.T. then used his homing missiles to shoot the Gyaos out of the sky, with them screaming in pain when they were blown up by the missiles.

Liam: It kinda sucks we have to kill animals, but I guess we have no choice...

Marilyn's ear twitched when she heard the screams of pain from the Gyaos with her eyes widening. Those screams of pain reminded her of what happened to the Hurricanetroopers that she killed. As such, she covered her mouth with her hands while starring up at the carnage in the skies. Connie and Sada would also be watching, the latter taking the opportunity to try and snipe one of them out of the sky with her antimatter sniper rifle.

(In case you're wondering, in a Star Wars game based on Star Wars: A New Hope for the Nintendo Famicom, there's a changeling called a Gyaos who takes on the form of Darth Vader and you have to defeat it. This Gyaos looks like a pterosaur, and I thought: Why not use it for this RP, since it's based on Star Wars. XD) (Ah cripes, lol)

Sada managed to snipe a Gyaos out of the sky with a shot through its chest, with the Gyaos screaming in pain as it dropped to the ground with a large crash. R.A.B.B.I.T. shot more of these Gyaos out of the sky with his homing missiles.

"Wait... I hit it!?" Sada thought to herself when she looked from her scope to see the Gyaos crash onto the ground, surprised. Marilyn on the other hand, couldn't bare to see the sight anymore, and turned around and curled back into her ball, not just her guilt kicking in, but her fright as well. Joshua would of course see this, and would again try to comfort her as he silently whispered "Hey, hey, it's going to be okay, okay?" to her.

Blade: Look, more Gyaos coming our way!

Another flock of Gyaos was soaring towards the airbase, with R.A.B.B.I.T. shooting more of them out of the sky.

Sada saw more of them incoming, and of course decided to try and get some more kills with her rifle, whist aiming through her scope.

Sada managed to snipe more Gyaos out of the sky, with them crashing into the ground. Liam didn't like the sight of the Gyaos being killed and buried his face into his hands until it was over.

"...Is... Is it over?" Connie asked aloud as she peeked through her cover to see many of the Gyaos on the ground "Oh! What happened there?!" She exclaimed.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Mrs. Sada and I took care of the attacking Gyaos. It is a shame such magnificant creatures had to be put down for our safety.

"Oh... It is a shame..." Connie said as Sada was looking over the bodies "...Hm..."

Francis: Look, there's Galaxy Knight spacecrafts appearing at the horizon!

Geronimo: You're right, Francis, they're coming!

There were spacecrafts with the symbol of the Galaxy Knight on them flying towards the airbase.

Geronimo: Francis and I will be manning the control tower, the rest of you will guard your positions!

Geronimo and Francis made their way towards the control tower of the airbase.

"Right" Connie nodded, along with Sada, as the two made their way over to a part of the base to guard... the former though, saw Marilyn in yet another emotional breakdown while being comforted by Joshua "...Oh goodness sweetheart, what's wrong!?" She asked as she ran up to them, with Joshua looking up at her "...The Gyaos', they..." He said before pausing "...Oh, say no more Josh, I understand" Connie said, before she knelt down to them, looking concerned.

R.A.B.B.I.T. had shapeshifted into a Juggernaut and was guarding a part of the base together with Blade. Meanwhile, Liam was still burying his face in his hands.

Liam: Is it over...?

"...It might be, for now" Joshua said as he kept Marilyn within his arms, comforting her as she wasn't really in the brightest moods right now, especially since she was overly emotional. Sada on the other hand found a nice little watchtower that made it out unscathed, before climbing it's ladder and providing overwatch.

(I should also note that the Star Wars Famicom game is non-canon. While it is based around Star Wars: Episode IV: A New Hope, the developers took too much liberty with the source material. But I thought: Why not use something non-canon in something canon? Lol.) (Cripes, lol)

The Galaxy Knight spacecrafts got closer to the airbase. Geronimo and Francis were manning the control tower so that the Galaxy Knights could land safely.

Geronimo: Come in, Galaxy Knight spacecrafts. Are you there?

Galaxy Knight Fighter Pilot: Roger, Galaxy Knight Master, we're nearing the airbase. We're seeing people who aren't from around here around the airbase, I'm guessing they belong with you.

Francis: Yes, they belong with us. They're hired muscle from the planet Mobius in our battle against the Twyops.

Galaxy Knight Fighter Pilot: Roger, Galaxy Knight Student. Permission to land?

Francis: Yes, land at Runways 1A, 1B, 1C and 1D.

Galaxy Knight Fighter Pilot: Roger, will do.

The Galaxy Knight spacecrafts proceeded to land at the assigned runways. Once all of them landed, the Galaxy Knight personnel got off and proceeded to bring life back to the base.

Sada watched from her tower as the spacecraft landed, of course holding her rifle in her hands "Help has arrived, nice" She said to herself, while Joshua and Connie watched as well, the former still having Marilyn in his comforting arms.

Liam had removed his hands from his face as he saw the spacecraft landing. He smiled.

Liam: Great, help has arrived!

R.A.B.B.I.T. and Blade saw the Galaxy Knight reinforcements flooding the airbase.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Backup has arrived, Master Blade.

Blade: Yes indeed, R.A.B.B.I.T.. They should be able to help us take care of the rest of the Twyops on Xanooiecatl.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative.

Geronimo and Francis left the control tower once all the spacecraft had landed. After a talk with some high ranking Galaxy Knights, they called over the Zarvokians as well as the Monteiros and R.A.B.B.I.T.

They of course heard them call them over, which Sada slid down on the ladder before going over to them. Connie stood up as well, but looked down at Joshua and Marilyn, as if waiting for them to follow. Joshua of course sat there for a few seconds, before he looked at the very person he was holding "...Hey, Marilyn... are you all good to go now?" He asked her. She sniffled for a few more seconds before she used her right arm to wipe her eyes "Y... Yeah... I'm good..." She said "...Very well then... let's get a move on" Joshua said, to which Marilyn nodded in response. Afterwards, they both got up, with Marilyn very close to his side, before they went with Connie to where the Galaxy Knights were.

Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T. and Blade came over to where Geronimo and Francis were as well.

Geronimo: Okay, good, everyone is here. Listen, The Galaxy Knight reinforcements will stay here and guard the airbase, and we are going to liberate the Twyops controlled Galaxy Knight Outpost east of here. 5 Galaxy Knights have offered to join us in our battle against the Twyops at the Outpost. Are you fine with that?

Liam: Sure, we need any help we can get to force the Twyops out of Sector 5.

Blade: I don't mind at all.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: I appreciate this generous offer of backup and I accept it.

"Y... Yeah... we're grateful for this" Marilyn said "...Hm... will they at least offer us fire support?" Joshua asked.

Francis: If you mean fire support with a firearm, yes, they offer us that.

"...No" Joshua mouthed with a blink "Josh is referring to airstrikes and artillery and all that. Can they give us some kind of fire support?" Connie asked.

Francis looked at Geronimo.

Geronimo: ...I'm sure they could. All 5 Galaxy Knights are capable of flying a Galaxy Knight Fighter Jet, so yes, they could offer fire support through airstrikes and artillery.

"...They brought artillery vehicles? What kind?" Joshua asked.

Geronimo: Take a look over there.

If Joshua looked in the direction Geronimo pointed in, he could he see Galaxy Knight Plasma Tanks, as well as Galaxy Knight SUV's with Plasma Miniguns bolted onto it.

Joshua and the others couldn't help but look in the direction of where he pointed "...Ah... I was referring to vehicles with long range... any of those?" He asked.

Geronimo: Ah, yes, of course. We have some armored hover vans with long range Plasma Guns. And we also got Plasma Missile Launchers that are capable of driving. However, these Plasma Missile Launchers can only fire missiles when stationary.

"...So I see" Joshua said "That'll come useful to us whenever we get in a difficult situation with the Twyop's ground forces" Sada said, having her rifle hoisted over her shoulder.

Geronimo: Yes. The Galaxy Knights have lent us 2 6-person hovering vans for transport around the planet. I suggest we split up and each take a van and liberate the Galaxy Knight Outpost from two sides. Team 1 will be approaching the Outpost from the front, and Team 2 will be approaching the Outpost from the back. We have Galaxy Knights on standby with the artillery vehicles in case we need them. Did you get all that?

"...But of course" Joshua said "M...Mm-hm" Marilyn mouthed "I copied that" Sada said "Wait... who's going in which van?" Connie asked.

Geronimo: Well, Francis, Joshua, Marilyn, Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T. and a backup Galaxy Knight will be taking the first van. Sada, Blade, you, 2 backup Galaxy Knights and me will take the second van. Which means the two remaining backup Galaxy Knights will be given a 2-person Hover Jeep for transport. Does that work?

"Well, I guess that'll work" Connie said "...Very well" Joshua said.

Blade: That'll do.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative. We will do our best to complete the order that was given to us.

Liam: Yeah. Don't worry, Blade, I'll look after R.A.B.B.I.T..

Blade: Okay, thanks, bro.

Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T., Blade, Geronimo, Francis and the backup Galaxy Knights each got into their assigned vehicles and waited for the Zarvokians to board.

The others of course would board the assigned trucks, with Joshua sitting besides Marilyn closely, while Sada and Connie sat on opposite sides of each other.

The vehicles then took off for the Xanooiecatl Galaxy Knight Outpost, continuing to take down the Twyops bit by bit.

(Seperating the chapters now.)

Chapter III: Xanooiecatl Battles and Beyond
Francis was driving one of the vans while Geronimo drove the other. Liam sat next to Joshua and Marilyn while R.A.B.B.I.T. was riding shotgun with Francis. The backup Galaxy Knight that came with them was in the back.

Liam: Hey, Joshua, this might be a weird and possibly personal question, but...How come you, your sister and father don't have tails?

". . ." Joshua slowly looked over to Liam, while Marilyn looked as well "Are you... only just now realizing this?" He asked.

Liam: I have noticed it before, but I kept forgetting to ask.

"...So I see. Well, ah... have you ever heard of a Sentrium?" He asked.

Liam: Maybe I have.

"...Only maybe?"

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Master Liam doesn't know about Sentriums that well. Sentrium Mobians, otherwise known as Rage Mobians or just Sentriums are a Mobian-subspecies who look identical to Mobians, the only difference is that Sentriums lack tails and have Rage Forms, hence why they're also known as Rage Mobians.

(Okay.) (...Okay that works I guess. XD) (Yup. XD)

Liam: ...Okay. That explains a lot.

"...Yeah. What RABBIT said I guess" Joshua said with a shrug.

Liam nodded and Francis continued to drive the van they were in.

Meanwhile, Geronimo was driving the other van, with Blade riding shotgun and the two backup Galaxy Knights in the back.

Sada and Connie were in the back as well, each sitting next to a galaxy knight.

Blade: It's time to kick some Twyops ass.

Geronimo: Yes, I guess that's how you could call it. After we've liberated the Outpost, we only have the Galaxy Knight Citadel left to liberate, and then Xanooiecatl is free from the Twyops.

Blade: Very well. Is there anything else left to do after that?

Geronimo: That depends on Queen Pamela's orders. I'm certain that the liberation of Xanooiecatl isn't the only thing we need you for in our battle against the Twyops. We have many more troubles with the Twyops throughout Sector 5, so certainly we need you for more operations.

Blade: That would be great.

Geronimo nodded and continued to drive the van towards the Galaxy Knight Outpost on Xanooiecatl. Meanwhile, the remaining two backup Galaxy Knights drove in between the two vans in their hover jeep.

"Hm... how much further is it?" Sada asked Geronimo.

Geronimo: I think you should about see the Outpost coming up on the horizon.

As Geronimo said that, Sada should be able to see the Outpost on the horizon. It was carrying the Twyops flag, showing it was being controlled by the Twyops.

"Oh. Well then..." Sada said. Meanwhile, Joshua and Marilyn looked over to see the outpost in the horizon "W... We're here already?" Marilyn asked, not really ready for this yet, due to her guilt.

Francis: Yes, we're here.

Liam: It doesn't appear Marilyn's ready for combat again...

Francis was thinking about how to handle this situation in a light side manner (in other words, good way.).

Joshua looked over to Marilyn, who slightly sunk in her seat a bit when Liam pointed out that she wasn't ready, sort of embarrassed.

Francis: I don't blame you for not feeling combat-ready, Marilyn. You could stay in the van with Joshua if you want to.

"R... Really? Um..." She mouthed "...I'm willing to stay in here, Marilyn. It's of no issue to me" He said.

Francis: Yes, Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T., our backup knights and me will take care of business at the Outpost.

"O... Okay... I'll stay in here..." She said, going in to lay on Joshua's shoulder. He of course, would give a slight smile, before laying his head on hers.

As Francis' group was Team 1, they approached the Outpost from the front. Geronimo's group was Team 2, and went in an arc around the Outpost to approach it from the back. However, before they entered Twyops detection range, the two teams took the time to plan a strategy.

Francis: So, does anyone have a combat strategy for the liberation of the tower?

"U... Um... I-I don't know..." Marilyn said to Francis, while Joshua just remained silent.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Leave the strategic planning to me. I'm going to scan the Outpost.

R.A.B.B.I.T. then brought up a map of the Outpost on his FOV (Field of Vision).

R.A.B.B.I.T.: The Twyops appear to have set up large quanities of Hurricanetroopers armed with Plasma and Dark/Anti-Matter weapons, as well large quanities of Twyops soldiers who are armored and armed to the teeth. They have 10 layer protective shields, aerostats outside of Xanooiecatl's orbit waiting in case of a raid, tanks with a Plasma Cannon, Plasma Minigun and Plasma Grenade Launcher, battle pods with Plasma Rocket Launchers attached to them, they've got heavy power guarding this base. (Htf is that an outpost lol) (You know what, I don't even know, rofl.)

"...Uh... they have shields, right? With ten layers? How would their aerostats protect the base if the base's shields are up? Of course if they do become a problem... the Galaxy Knights have ships in orbit too, no? Or at least the aircraft over at the airbase?" Joshua asked.

Francis: Yes, we do have ships in orbit as well, and the spacecraft over at the airbase. Even with all of the manpower the Twyops have at the Outpost, we should still be able to do well, as we could always call in reinforcements if things get a little hot under our feet.

"...Mm-hm... so, why not just take care of their aerostats before they become a problem? As for the ground forces, well... I'm not even sure what you guys have, so..." He said with a shrug.

Francis: Okay, so that's basically our plan: Take out the aerostats in orbit first, then liberate the Outpost.

"...Very well then" He said.

Francis: I will contact the queen for permission to send ships to take care of the Twyops aerostats in orbit.

He then contacted Queen Pamela. She responded immediately.

Queen Pamela: Yes, Sir Francis?

Francis: Your Majesty, we are about to liberate the Galaxy Knight Outpost on Xanooiecatl, and our droid ally R.A.B.B.I.T. has discovered Twyops aerostats in orbit for the Outpost's protection. Do we have permission to send ships of our own to deal with them?

Queen Pamela: ...Permission granted. Inform Sir Geronimo of the situation and tell him there is a green light for deployment of Galaxy Knight battleships.

Francis: Understood, Your Majesty. Francis Townley out.

Francis ended the conversation and contacted Geronimo, who immediately responded as well.

Geronimo: Yes, Francis?

Francis: Master, R.A.B.B.I.T. has discovered Twyops aerostats in orbit for the Outpost's protection. Queen Pamela has given us the green light to deploy battleships of our own to deal with them. You have permission to deploy them.

Geronimo: Very well. I'll deploy them at once.

Francis: Okay, inform us when the aerostats are gone.

Geronimo: I will.

Geronimo then ended the conversation and ordered the deployment of Galaxy Knight battleships to deal with the Twyops aerostats. Once the orders were given, Geronimo ended the conversation.

Geronimo: We're going to have to wait on liberating the Outpost. R.A.B.B.I.T. had discovered Twyops aerostats in orbit waiting for a raid on the Outpost. Once the aerostats are gone, we can attack.

"They have ships in orbit?" Sada asked "Oh! Well... that's fine, we can wait" Connie said.

Blade: Yes, we can. Is there anything we could do in the meantime?

Geronimo: Well, I could tell you about the history of Sector 5 and the Galaxy Knights and the Twyops and the like. If you're interested, that is.

Blade: Sure, I'd love that.

Geronimo looked to Sada and Connie.

Geronimo: Would you like to listen to it as well?

"Well I mean... if it'll pass the time, sure" Sada said. Meanwhile, Joshua and Marilyn just sat in their seats while the latter was now resting on the former's side, while he had an arm around her.

Geronimo: Very well, a long, long time ago...

Geronimo then began telling Sade, Connie and Blade about the history of Sector 5 and its factions.

Liam sat in his seat, awaiting the aerostats' destruction in boredom.

Liam: Waiting for the aerostats to be taken down is boring...

Sada and Connie listened in to the history of "Sector 5", while Joshua glanced over at Liam "...I'm not bored" He said.

Liam: Easy for you to say. You've got a pretty girl to keep you occupied. Man, I wish I brought my Nintendo 3DS with me for moments like this... (Stop it with the fourth wall breaks it's getting annoying lol) (Sure, rofl.)

"...What the hell is a Nintendo?" Joshua asked "P... Pretty? U-Um... thank you for the compliment?" Marilyn said.

Liam: No problem...

Francis thought about something to keep Liam occupied.

Francis: I think I have something that might keep you occupied.

Francis got out a handheld device and gave it to Liam. It had a videogame on it. Liam turned on the device and began playing a game which was similar to the classic Pacman.

Liam: This'll do.

The two of them saw as Francis took out the handheld device and looked at it. They... didn't look really interested, so they just cuddled up with each other.

Meanwhile, a bunch of Galaxy Knight battleships were on its way to the Twyops aerostats. (You can take control of the Galaxy Knight ships if you want to.) (I don't even know the specs of their ships lol) (Never mind then, rofl.)

[Skip turn]

(As I'm a lazy shit sometimes, I'm just going to skip to when the Twyops aerostats are downed, lol.)

After some time, Geronimo received word from the Galaxy Knight Fleet that the Twyops aerostats have been downed.

Geronimo: So they're taken care of?

Galaxy Knight Corporal: Yes, they have, sir.

Geronimo: Okay, good work. Geronimo Kind out.

He ended the call.

Geronimo: Well, the Twyops aerostats are down, so we can get back to liberating the Outpost.

Blade: Very well then. Let's give Francis' team the green light.

Geronimo: Yes, I will.

He then contacted Francis.

Geronimo: Francis, the Twyops aerostats have been downed. We're in the clear to liberate the Outpost.

Francis: Okay, Master Geronimo, let's get to work then.

Francis ended the call and turned to his team.

Francis: The aerostats are gone, it's go time.

"...Alright. We'll remain here" Joshua said as Marilyn kept laying on his shoulder.

Francis nodded and he, Liam and R.A.B.B.I.T. got out of the van and equipped their weapons. R.A.B.B.I.T. morphed back into the Mark I Fulgore, and the three of them snuck towards the Outpost.

Geronimo: Are we ready?

Blade: Ready when you are.

(By the way, as this roleplay draws inspiration from Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Geronimo is based on Qui-Gon Jinn and Francis is based on Obi-Wan Kenobi. The only difference is that I swapped the appearances for Geronimo and Francis, so that Geronimo looks like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Francis like Qui-Gon Jinn.) (Okay lel)

Connie and Sada left their van as well, as the two got their weapons out as they snuck towards the outpost "We're good to go" Sada said "Um... where are the other two?" Connie asked.

Blade: We're here.

Blade and Geronimo followed Connie and Sada. Blade had his C-T59 Plasma Rifle equipped while Geronimo had his Energy Sword in his right hand and his blaster in his left hand.

"No, I mean Joshua and Marilyn, where'd they go?" She asked.

Geronimo: My sixth sense tells me they are still in their team van because of Marilyn being in an unsuited mood for combat.

"Sixth... sense?" Sada asked, overhearing their conversation.

Geronimo: I have a special sixth sense that allows me to see what those allied with me are doing.

"So, um... what if they're not your allies anymore?" Sada asked.

Geronimo: Then those people fade away from my sixth sense, and I cannot see what they are doing anymore.

"I, uh... how does that...?" Sada said, confused "Wait so, in that case... can you tell me what they're doing?" Connie asked, suddenly getting all motherly.

Geronimo: Joshua and Marilyn are currently cuddling with each other, Joshua is comforting Marilyn because of the events at the airbase.

"...Aww, how sweet of him" Connie said, not helping but be proud of him.

Geronimo smiled and nodded before his expression went serious again.

Geronimo: Anyway, I think we should continue with the liberation of the Outpost.

"Right, we have a mission. Let's complete it" Connie said, while Sada nodded in agreement "How well defended do you think this outpost is?" She asked.

Geronimo: I think very well. The Twyops take their defenses rather seriously. We should expect heavy resistance.

"We shouldn't expect anything less" Connie said.

Geronimo nodded and he and Blade snuck towards the Outpost's rear entrance.

The two of them simply followed, as they looked around "Do I have a vantage point in there?" Sada whispered to them.

Blade checked the outpost on his Blade Electric.

Blade (whispering): Yes, according to my Blade Electric, there's a vantage point right near the rear entrance. You should get a good view on the Outpost and snipe people from there.

"Alright, thanks Blade" Sada said, as she began making her way up the vantage point.

Blade nodded and he, Geronimo and their two Galaxy Knights continued to sneak around.

Connie just followed them, her two submachine guns already out in her hands.

As the group entered the Outpost, they saw all of the Twyops' defenses that R.A.B.B.I.T. had mentioned before.

Blade (whispering): Holy bats**t...

Connie took a look at the defenses the Twyops had as well "Whoa..." She whispered.

Geronimo (whispering): Let's all get into position. Once we're ready to ambush them, we fire.

"Okay... where we will ambush them at?" She whispered.

Geronimo (whispering): You and I will ambush them from the ground. Sada and Blade will ambush them from a vantage point.

Blade (whispering): Okay, I saw a vantage point which I can use. I'm going there right away.

Blade quietly and quickly made his way over to the vantage point and got in position.

"Copy that" Sada said with a whisper as she followed Blade, having her sniper rifle out as she went into position.

The two backup Galaxy Knights in Geronimo's team got in position as well. Meanwhile, on the other side of the outpost, Francis, Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T. and their backup Galaxy Knight snuck inside and all got into position as well as R.A.B.B.I.T. cloaked himself.

Geronimo (whispering): Okay, Francis' team is in position too. It's go time.

Geronimo began firing at the Twyops troops as Blade began firing as well. The backup Galaxy Knights began firing too, as well as Francis, Liam and...wait, where was R.A.B.B.I.T.? (Cloaked lol) (Yeh XD)

Sada fired her rifle as well, aiming for the head of anyone that looked like they were gonna attack, while Connie fired both of her submachine guns at the Twyops.

Many Twyops infantry were dropping like flies, when suddenly R.A.B.B.I.T., still in the form of the Fulgore Mark I uncloaked himself and slashed Twyops soldiers to bits with his plasma claws.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: This'll allow a local JetDonalds to feed an entire village.

R.A.B.B.I.T. continued slashing Twyops soldiers with his plasma claws. The rest of the crew continued firing. As Twyops soldiers were getting closer, Geronimo and Francis slew any Twyops soldier within range with their Energy Swords. They then continued firing with their blasters. (It's awesome how Star Wars combined both Western culture by featuring blasters (which represent the guns) and Eastern culture by featuring lightsabers (which represent the swords).) (I guess lol)

Connie and Sada just kept doing what they were doing, although Sada was a bit intimidated as to what R.A.B.B.I.T was doing. Though due to her helmet's visor covering her face, it was unnoticeable.

Some Twyops soldiers got into their tanks and started firing the Plasma Cannons, Plasma Miniguns and Plasma Grenade Launchers all over the place. Liam and Blade were shocked when this happened.

Blade: Sweet...mother of...shit!

Liam: Ohmigosh...

Francis: Keep calm, Liam. I'm confident we will still prevail.

Geronimo: The weather's stormy, hold tight.

Connie and Sada saw what was going on "They have tanks!" The former said, getting into cover as to prevent getting hit. Sada meanwhile was relatively safe from her vantage point, as she took aim with her rifle and... tried to fire at the vehicle operators with her antimatter rifle.

She managed to do so, and also hit the tanks' engines while she was at it. This caused the tanks to explode. Liam and Blade sighed in relief.

Liam: Ah, phew. Glad those tanks are gone.

Liam and Blade then continued to fire their C-T59 Plasma Rifles. Geronimo, Francis and the backup Galaxy Knights fired their blasters at the Twyops. R.A.B.B.I.T. used Fulgore's Plasma Hand Cannons to annihilate any Twyops and Battle Pods left standing and operational.

Liam: Was that it?

Francis: I think so.

Liam: We should notify the Galaxy Knights and tell them that the Outpost has been liberated.

Francis: I'll get on that right away.

Francis got out his Holo-Com and contacted Galaxy Knight forces over at the airbase.

Sada looked up from her rifle's scope when she saw she managed to hit the tanks and make them explode "Whoa..." She mouthed. Meanwhile, Connie looked around as she saw the outpost had been annexed "Are... we done here?" She asked.

Geronimo: I guess so. I see Francis talking over his Holo-Com, so he must be informing the Galaxy Knights that the Outpost has been liberated.

"That's good. All that's left is the citadel, and we're done here... right?" Connie asked. Meanwhile, Sada stood up with her rifle hoisted over her shoulder "We did it..." She said.

Geronimo: Yes, all we have left to liberate is the Galaxy Knight Citadel and then Xanooiecatl is free of the Twyops. But I'm afraid we're not done yet afterwards. We still have a lot of work to do before we've gotten rid of the Twyops.

"How much work? Like, how many planets do they have?" Connie asked.

Geronimo: My guess is that they control at least 75% of Sector 5 right now, which is quite a lot. I'm thinking we should pick up Queen Pamela from her palace after liberating the Citadel and then head to my birth planet of Brevicia. The Galaxy Knight Council is there, and we must figure out a plan on how we're going to approach this war.

Connie tilted her head a bit "...75%? How much is that?"

Geronimo: About...10 planets, at least.

Connie's eyes widened "Ten planets!? We have a war going on back home, how are we supposed to reclaim ten planets in time?!" She exclaimed.

Geronimo: ...I'm afraid I do not know that...

Blade: Are you fucking kidding me?! Ten planets?! We have to reclaim ten fucking planets?! My brother and I have a vigilante empire to build up back home! How are we going to do this in such a short time?!

Geronimo: That's why we have to go to Brevicia as soon as we're done on Xanooiecatl and get to brainstorming.

Blade: God damn...10 motherfucking planets...

Blade walked away.

Connie sighed and walked with Blade "I don't know if we can do that... ten planets is a lot" She said.

Blade: Agreed, I'm not sure if we can liberate that much planets in such a short time...I mean, my brother and I still have lives to deal with back on Mobius, and like you said, you and your fellow Zarvokians have a war going on back home...

Blade sighed deeply.

Blade: We better have a really good plan to clean up this mess...

"I hope so too..." Connie said.

Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T. and Francis walked over to Geronimo.

Francis: Alright, I have contacted the Galaxy Knights over at the Xanooiecatl Airbase, and they're sending forces to occupy the Outpost.

Geronimo: I'm glad to hear that...

Francis: What's the matter, Master? You seem a bit...discouraged.

Geronimo: Well, I just informed Connie and Blade that we have 75% of Sector 5 left to liberate, which would mean liberating 10 more planets...

Liam: 10 more planets?! Are you out of your mind?!

R.A.B.B.I.T.: I am most displeased to hear that.

Geronimo: So were Connie and Blade...But we can worry about that later, we still have the Xanooiecatl Galaxy Knight Citadel to liberate. After that, we're picking up Queen Pamela from her palace and then we're going to my birth planet Brevicia, the Galaxy Knight Council is there, and they should be able to help us figure out what to do.

Liam: I see...

Francis: Alright, well, let's stay at the Outpost until the reinforcements arrive.

Liam nodded as he got out his C-T59 and got in a position to guard it.

Sada meanwhile remained at her vantage point with the rifle in her hands.

R.A.B.B.I.T. proceeded to take a position to guard as well. Meanwhile, Geronimo and Francis both took place in a guard tower as they kept watch at the horizon to see if the reinforcements would arrive. Blade continued to walk around the Outpost with Connie.

Connie just walked around the outpost with Blade, with only one of her submachine guns out "Say... I wonder how the other two are doing" She said.

Blade was walking with Connie, his C-T59 equipped.

Blade: Joshua and Marilyn must be doing okay. I mean, they were sitting back comforting each other while we did all the wet work. Not that I mind that, as I love doing the wet work.

"I hope so. I get worried whenever something bad arises" She said.

Blade nodded and continued walking with Connie.

Meanwhile, with Joshua and Marilyn...

The two were continuing to cuddle with each as they couldn't resist the urge to hold each other's hand as well. For almost the entire duration of the battle, their eyes had been closed since they were very comfortable; hell, the two even silently purred from their comfort. It was at that point though that Joshua's ear twitched a bit, his left eye opening slightly "...The battle's over it seems" He said, while Marilyn slightly opened both of her eyes "It has?" She asked him "Mm-hm... I'm not sure if they were successful or not however" Joshua replied.

If Joshua looked out the window of the van he and Marilyn were in, he could see either Geronimo or Francis atop one of the Outpost's guard towers.

Joshua... would not be the one who looked out the window. Instead it would be Marilyn, as she noticed Geronimo on a guard table "Wait, I can see Geronimo, they won!" she said as Joshua looked out the window as well "...Ah, well then. That leaves the citadel then," he said.

Geronimo and Francis were looking out at the horizon as they saw the Galaxy Knight reinforcements making their way towards the Outpost.

Francis: Ah, the reinforcements are here.

Geronimo: Ah, there they are.

The reinforcements soon arrived at the Outpost and went inside.

Connie and Sada would see the reinforcements coming in "Oh, they're here!" Connie said. Meanwhile Joshua and Marilyn saw them arrive as well "...And here comes the cavalry," the former said.

Liam: Ah, there's the Galaxy Knights!

Blade: Great, they're here!

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Requested backup has arrived.

The Galaxy Knights returned life to the Outpost as Geronimo and Francis left the guard towers to talk with some Galaxy Knights. After that, they called Sada, Connie, Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T. and Blade over. The latter three came over to them.

Sada and Connie came over to them once they were instructed to do so.

Geronimo: Okay, the Galaxy Knights will take care of defending and cleaning up the Outpost. We're going to continue on towards the Citadel, and then we're going to pick up Queen Pamela from her palace and make our way towards Brevicia.

"That was the plan like before, right?" Sada asked.

Geronimo: Pretty much. We got no time to lose. Let's get to our vans and go to the Citadel. Connie, Sada, Blade, you're with me and my two backup Knights. Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T., you two are with Francis and his backup Knight, as well as Joshua and Marilyn.

Liam: Understood.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative. Off to the Citadel we go.

Francis took Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T. and his backup Knight outside to the van where Joshua and Marilyn were and got back in.

Francis: Alright, you two, we're back. We liberated the Outpost. We're going to liberate the Citadel next, and then we have liberated Xanooiecatl of the Twyops. After that, we're going to get our Galaxy Knight Cruiser, pick up Queen Pamela from her palace and go to Brevicia to go see the Galaxy Knight Council, they might know what to do next.

"So same as last time. Okay," Connie said, before she and Sada went to follow Geronimo and the others. Meanwhile, Joshua and Marilyn went back to their little cuddling session before they heard Francis over their combined silent purring, opening their eyes slightly to look at him "...Mm? Very well then" Joshua said.

Francis nodded and he started his van and took off for the Galaxy Knight Citadel on Xanooiecatl. Geronimo started his van once everyone got in and took off for the Citadel as well.

Once Francis start up the van, Joshua and Marilyn went right back to what they were doing: cuddling with their eyes closed while holding each other's hand, and the both purring silently. Yep, they didn't care that everyone else was with them.

Francis smiled at that and continued to make his way towards the Citadel.

Meanwhile, in Geronimo's van, Blade was a little discouraged because of the fact that they have to reclaim ten more planets.

Sada and Connie were also sitting in Geronimo's van, the latter of which feeling worried because she didn't want to have to overextend their assistance in Sector 5.

Geronimo was worried as well, because he knew Liam, Blade and the Zarvokians had lives going on back on Mobius, so they had to find a way to take out the Twyops as fast as they could. The two teams continued to make their way towards the Citadel.

Liam: Hey, Joshua, how were you and Marilyn doing while we took care of the Twyops at the Outpost?

"...Mm?" Joshua mouthed, opening his right eye to look at Liam, while Marilyn did the same with her left eye "Um... I feel a little better now," She said.

Liam smiled at that.

Liam: I'm glad to hear that.

Francis: So am I.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative.

"Thanks," Marilyn said, smiling softly at them "...Mm-hm... it's good you feel better love," Joshua said to her rather passionately.

Francis: You two are a perfect couple, do not get me wrong. It's pretty clear to me you two were made for each other, and that you two are gonna marry some day and have a happy family.

The two were taken by surprise by his words, before they looked at each other for a few seconds "...Heh, I wouldn't be surprised if that happened someday," Joshua said "Oh, that would be a great day for us," Marilyn said. (I just realized since Liam and Blade came from the future, doesn't that mean they know Julia? XD) (I guess they do, since Liam and Blade indeed came from the future, and I could make it that they know Julia. XD)

Liam chuckled at that, rubbing the back of his head, since he and Blade came from the future and know what's going to happen 30 years from now. (*30 lol) (I know, but Julia is born 40 years later, lol.)

"Well... here's hoping," Joshua said, resuming his cuddling with Marilyn "Here's hoping," She said as well.

Francis and Liam nodded and continued to concentrate on the road. R.A.B.B.I.T. just remained silent as he wasn't able to experience affection, due to him being a robot.

After driving for a while, the Xanooiecatl Galaxy Knight Citadel appeared over the horizon. It was floating in the sky, as it was being guarded by heavily armed Attack Drones.

The four of them noticed the citadel in the sky, protected by the attack drones "...Is that a...?" Joshua said "That's a flying fortress!" Connie said.

Geronimo: That is the Xanooiecatl Galaxy Knight Citadel. It's the last Galaxy Knight Facility we have on Xanooiecatl. I'm going to pull up on the stick now, because these vans can do a little more than hover.

Geronimo proceeded to pull up on the steering stick of the van, and it flew up into the sky. Francis pulled up on the steering stick of his van as well and went airborne too.

Blade: Whoa! This is pretty damn neat!

Liam: Whoa! This is awesome!

The others were taken by surprise "This thing is an aircraft!?" Marilyn exclaimed in shock "I didn't think this van could fly!" Sada said.

Francis: These things are modified to drive, hover and even fly. So it's both a land vehicle and an aircraft in one.

Geronimo: Well, they can. The Galaxy Knights have modified these vans to be able to drive, hover and fly. It's also fitted with homing missiles, non-homing missiles and machine guns. They're quite magnificent, aren't they?

"...Fascinating," Joshua said "Non-homing missiles?" Connie couldn't help but ask.

Geronimo: Yes, we have put non-homing missiles in the vans for close quarters combat.

"Um... okay," was all Connie could say.

The Twyops Attack Drones guarding the Citadel noticed Geronimo and Francis' vans and began attacking. Geronimo and Francis retaliated by firing homing missiles at the drones, annihilating them.

The four of them heard the sounds of explosions and projectile fire as the vans were making their way up to the citadel. They began to prepare themselves "Are you ready Marilyn?" Joshua asked "Y... Yes, I'm good to go," Marilyn replied.

Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T. and Blade prepared themselves as well. Geronimo and Francis landed the vans and got ready for battle. Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T. and Blade got ready for battle as well.

"Let's go, for Zarvok!" Sada cried out in a rally, before she and Connie charged out of the van to engage any enemy in sight. Joshua and Marilyn on the other hand waited for the others to leave their van to deploy.

Geronimo, Francis, their Galaxy Knights and Team Monteiro got out of their vans as well and charged at any hostile they saw.

Liam: Here goes nothing!

Blade: You're going to regret the day you went against Blade Eastwood, bitches!

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Battle mode engaged. Proceeding to neutralize any hostile individual.

Joshua and Marilyn then got out of the van, the former getting his modified C-T59 out while Marilyn had her modified DR51 - both fired at any hostile in their way, with the latter avoiding anything that looked "alive."

Fortunately for Marilyn, there appeared to be plenty of droids to fight so she could avoid having to hurt a living being. Meanwhile, Geronimo, Francis, their Galaxy Knights and Team Monteiro continued to fight their way through the barrage of Twyops troops being thrown at them.

"Don't let up, we need this citadel secure!" Joshua called out as he was firing, with Connie and Sada firing as well, the former slowly advancing with Joshua and Marilyn, while the latter remained behind to act as long-range support.

Suddenly, a large Twyops Avenger (The Avenger is based on the V-22 Osprey, btw) (I know this lol) rose into the sky as it activated its cannons.

Liam: Oh no, they've got a scary large plane-helicopter hybrid spacecraft! And they've seen us!

"Is that... is that a helicopter!?" Sada exclaimed when she saw the "Avenger" reveal itself "Cripes, shoot it's rotors or wings!" Joshua shouted, taking aim with his rifle before flying "Right!" Sada replied, doing the same as Joshua, with Connie and Marilyn following suit "Hurry, before it can shoot us!" Connie shouted.

Sada and Joshua managed to land a few hits on the Avenger's rotors, after which the Avenger went crashing into the Citadel, causing it to start plummeting towards the surface of Xanooiecatl.

Geronimo: Drat, that thing crashed into the Citadel, and now it's going down.

Blade: I think we should get out of here now!

"...You've got to be freaking-!" Joshua said, a bit frustrated on how that ended up, before Marilyn turned to face him "Hurry Josh, we need to go!" she said, grabbing his arm and began running towards one of the vans, taking him by surprise in the process. Sada saw that the place was going down, and went to one of the vans as well, same going for Connie "Go go go!" she shouted.

Geronimo, Francis, their Galaxy Knights and Team Monteiro made a dash for the vans too, got in, and quickly took off. As they looked down, they saw the Citadel crash into the surface of Xanooiecatl, killing any Twyops troops that were on the Citadel at the time of its crash. The crash caused the airbase and the outpost on Xanooiecatl to tremble, but fortunately, no Galaxy Knights were injured in the quake, only the airbase and outpost received minor damage.

Geronimo: Queen Pamela is certainly not going to be happy with this...

Blade: You think?!

The other four just watched as the Citadel crashed onto the ground "H... How could such an aircraft crash cause a large place to come crashing?" Sada asked aloud "We're just lucky we got out, that's all that matters right now," Connie said "...This was a rather unexpected outcome," Joshua said "Is everyone okay?" Marilyn asked aloud, concerned.

Francis: Yes, I'm fine.

Liam: Same here.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: I can inform you that I am 100% fine.

Galaxy Knight #1: I'm fine as well.

Marilyn sighed out of relief, before lying on Joshua's shoulder, who had a free clenched hand on his cheek as he looked out the window "...Well that's one command center we're not getting back," he said, sighing out of frustration.

Francis: Yes, it's unfortunate we lost the Citadel, but there's nothing we can do about it. All we can do right now is take down enough Twyops forces and stop them from destroying any more of our command centers.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative. I suggest we go to our Galaxy Knight Cruiser and go see Queen Pamela.

Francis: Agreed, let's get to our Cruiser and get going.

Meanwhile, Geronimo got a Holo-Com message from one of the officers at the airbase.

Galaxy Knight Officer: Sir Geronimo, are you and your crew alright?! We heard explosions and crashes and then there was an earthquake!

Geronimo: Yes, we are fine. Unfortunately, we have lost the Citadel as a Twyops spacecraft crashed into it, and then it crashed into the surface of Xanooiecatl. Is everyone at the airbase okay?

Galaxy Knight Officer: Yes, no one was killed or injured in the earthquake, only the airbase received minor damage. Also, I'm receiving reports that there were no casualties or injuries at the outpost either, only minor damage there as well.

Geronimo: I'm glad to hear that. We're going to see Queen Pamela and inform her of the situation.

Galaxy Knight Officer: Okay, Sir Geronimo. Be careful.

Geronimo: We will. Over and out for now.

Geronimo ended the conversation and looked at the rest.

Geronimo: Well, we're going back to our Galaxy Knight Cruiser, and then we're going to see Queen Pamela, as we need to plan our next steps.

Joshua only gave a quick grumble out of frustration, certainly not liking the fact he could do nothing about the citadel. Marilyn of course saw this, and went to hold his hand to calm him down... so far it was successful. "Okay, sounds like a plan," Sada said. Connie on the other hand was looking out the window towards the other van "Oh poor Josh, he must be frustrated right now..." she said worryingly.

Blade: Yeah, he must be...To be honest, I'm not happy that we couldn't reclaim the citadel either, but there's sadly nothing we can do about it...

Geronimo: Yes, unfortunately, we can't bring back the citadel, and there's no promising this day would be any different from now. Let's just get back to the Cruiser and get the Queen.

Blade silently nodded as the two vans continued to make their way towards the Cruiser.

Connie only nodded to respond, as she kept worryingly looking out the window.

The two vans then arrived at the Galaxy Knight Cruiser. Geronimo, Francis and Team Monteiro got out of their vans once they arrived at the Cruiser.

Geronimo: Okay, backup Knights, we're going to Oaf to get Queen Pamela and then we're going to Brevicia to see the Galaxy Knight Council. I want you to help the Galaxy Knights on Xanooiecatl with salvaging the remains of the fallen citadel. Is that clear?

Galaxy Knight #1: Understood, sir! We won't disappoint you!

Geronimo: Good, then I am satisfied.

Geronimo then looked to the rest of the group.

Geronimo: The rest of you, we're going to Oaf to pick up the Queen and then we're leaving for Brevicia.

Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T. and Blade nodded and they boarded the Cruiser. Francis boarded as well.

"...Very well then," Joshua said, before he went to board the cruiser "We'll be waiting to arrive there," Marilyn said with a polite smile, before she went to follow Joshua "Well, my aim hasn't rusted yet so... I'll be in the room," Sada said, boarding the cruiser as well "Ahm… hey we have a medical bay, right?" Connie asked.

Geronimo: Yes, we have a medical bay aboard this Cruiser. Would you like to see it?

"Of course!" She said.

Geronimo: Very well. Francis, can you show Mrs. Connie the medical bay aboard the cruiser?

Francis: Sure thing, Master.

Francis took Connie to see the Cruiser's medical bay.

Geronimo: Well, I think we've got everyone. Close the boarding door, we're taking off for Oaf!

Cruiser Pilot: Roger that, we're closing the doors and taking off!

The pilot closed the doors and took off for the planet Oaf, where the crew was going to pick up Queen Pamela and then head to Brevicia.

Connie went to follow Francis to the medical bay. As they were passing by, they could see Sada on the couch in the living room, relaxing herself... strangely enough she kept her armor and helmet on. Joshua and Marilyn meanwhile were just nowhere to be seen; probably went to their quarters again.

Francis and Connie arrived in the medical bay. In the medical bay, there were 16 hospital beds, along with a Galaxy Knight Medic who was sitting in a chair next to a large area with medical supplies and equipment, and there also appeared to be a medical droid in stasis in the medical bay, similar to the medical automaton the ZFAS Velocity's medical bay back home on Mobius had.

Francis: Well, what do you think?

Connie looked around, before looking at the medic "...Hehe, I might put you out of business," she said with a smile.

The medic chuckled.

Galaxy Knight Medic: Good thing you're only here temporarily.

Meanwhile, Geronimo, Liam, R.A.B.B.I.T. and Blade were in the meeting room, sitting at the table. R.A.B.B.I.T. had reverted back to his main form: A small bunny. Geronimo was sitting at the head of the table.

Geronimo: As soon as we get Queen Pamela, we're going to Brevicia right away, because we've got no time to lose. The Twyops cannot win anymore territory within Sector 5.

Blade: No, then we would take even longer to reclaim all the territory that you guys have here in Sector 5. And we'd be old men in no time...

Liam: Well, we must keep up hope. If there's one thing I've learned from being a Hero for Hire, it's to never ever give up.

Geronimo: That's the spirit, Liam. We must keep up hope if we want to defeat the Twyops.

Liam nodded as the four of them continued to sit in the meeting room.

Connie only gave a bit of a laugh, though she wasn't trying to mock the knight "Well I better enjoy the time while it lasts then!"

The medic chuckled again before he went back to minding his own business.

Francis: So, is there anything else you'd like to see while we're aboard the cruiser, Mrs. Connie?

"No... I think I'll be alright in here," she said with a smile.

Francis: Okay, we will let you know when we're at Oaf.

Francis then left the medical bay to go to the tv room. He sat down on the couch, turned on the tv and turned to S5BNC1 (Sector 5 Broadcasting Network Channel 1). There was a talent show called Sector 5's Got Talent on at the moment.

Francis: Ah, Sector 5's Got Talent is on. Marvelous.

Sada was on the couch as well, seeing the television turn on "Huh? What's this?" she asked.

Francis: This is Sector 5's Got Talent, a talent show on S5BNC1, Sector 5 Broadcasting Channel 1. Even with the Twyops controlling a majority of Sector 5, these shows still air, as it seems the Twyops seem to enjoy the shows too.

"Really? That's... surprising," she said.

After flying for a little while, the Cruiser arrived back at Oaf, as it landed outside the palace once again.

Cruiser Pilot (over the intercom): We have arrived at Oaf, I repeat, we have arrived at Oaf.

Geronimo: Okay, Francis and I are going to get the queen. Do you boys wanna join me?

Liam: Sure, I'll join you.

Blade: Me too.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: Affirmative.

Geronimo and Team Monteiro left the meeting room and went to the tv room.

Geronimo: We're going into the palace to get the queen. Mrs. Sada, would you like to join us?

"Sure, why not?" Sada said, standing up from the couch.

The five of them then left the Cruiser as they went inside the palace to find Queen Pamela.

Geronimo: By the way, did we tell you that Queen Pamela is only 14 years old? (Pamela is based on Padmé Amidala, who became Queen of Naboo at the age of 14, so yeah. :3) (I know lol)

Liam and Blade were impressed.

Blade: Wow, Queen of Sector 5 at the age of 14? That is fucking awesome.

Joshua and Marilyn would be seen leaving as well while Connie stayed in the medical bay "...Only fourteen? Who puts a child in charge?" Joshua asked.

Geronimo and Team Monteiro noticed Joshua and Marilyn behind them.

Geronimo: ...You know, I actually don't know, but she's done a perfect job at being in charge to this day, so we can't really complain.

"...I haven't been here much, so I can't judge as of yet," Joshua said "Well... where is she?" Sada asked.

R.A.B.B.I.T.: My scanners show that she is currently in her personal quarters. Let's head on over there.

Geronimo nodded and they went to the queen's personal quarters and Geronimo knocked on the door.

Geronimo: Your Majesty, are you in here?

Pamela: Yes, I am. Hold on for a second.

Pamela left her personal quarters.

Geronimo: Your Majesty, we managed to reclaim the Xanooiecatl airbase and outpost, but unfortunately, we lostt the citadel. A Twyops spacecraft crashed into the citadel, causing it to crash into Xanooiecatl's surface.

Pamela: I know, Sir Geronimo. I saw it happen on my Holo-Com. It was rather unfortunate, but at least you managed to reclaim the other two Galaxy Knight facilities on Xanooiecatl, and I congratulate you for that.

Geronimo: Yes. Our plan was to head to Brevicia next and see the Galaxy Knight Council on what to do next.

Pamela: That is a wonderful plan. I figured you would be going there next, so I had already packed a bag and I am ready to leave for Brevicia with you.

Blade: Great! Let us leave then.

Pamela: Yes. And don't worry, I might be young and a queen, but I can take care of myself very well.

Pamela showed the group her Energy Sword.

Pamela: I have had combat training before, and I can handle an Energy Sword rather well.

Joshua took a look at her energy sword "...Oh, is that so? How well if I may ask?"

Pamela: Sir Geronimo and I shall give a demonstration outside.

Geronimo: Very well.

Everyone went outside and Pamela and Geronimo stood in front of each other. They bowed and then drew their Energy Swords, both Energy Swords having a blue colored energy blade, with blue representing the light side of the Force. Pamela and Geronimo then proceeded to have a friendly Energy Sword duel. Liam and Blade were impressed by Pamela's combat skill.

Liam: At her age she can handle an Energy Sword very well.

Blade: You know it! I'm a very skilled gunman, and she's a very skilled melee fighter!

"...Hmm..." Joshua mouthed as he and Marilyn were watching, same with Sada "...hold up," Joshua said to the two duelists.

Pamela and Geronimo stopped dueling and looked to Joshua.

Pamela: Yes, Joshua?

"...Got room for one more?" He asked, before reaching for a pair of sword handles that were attached to his hips... the handles however, didn't have any blades. Odd.

Pamela: Fair enough. Join on in.

Geronimo: Yes, show us your skill.

"...Very well then... have at me!" He said, before two blades emerged from each handle, a blade of antimatter and a blade of dark matter. "Be careful you two!" Marilyn said to Pamela and Geronimo... wait, why was she only warning those two? "A... are those?" Sada said, looking at Joshua's swords. Although it wasn't visible, she looked surprised.

Pamela and Geronimo were surprised at the anti-matter and dark matter blades too.

Geronimo: Oh, dear. You've got anti-matter and dark matter blades on your swords. Be careful you don't accidentally slay us with those things.

"...And you're dueling with plasma swords. You're telling me this?" he asked.

Geronimo: Good point, and well made.

Pamela: Well, show us what you got!

Pamela and Geronimo engaged Joshua in friendly combat with their Energy Swords.

". . ." Joshua remained quiet as he was... just... standing there, watching as they approached and waited for their attacks "Wh... what is he doing?" Sada asked aloud.

Blade: Not sure...By the way, Sada, why do you always have your armor and helmet on?

"...Huh? Me?" Sada asked, looking over to Blade.

Blade: Yeah, you. Why do you alwyas have your armor and helmet on?

"Um... no real reason really... why?" she asked.

Blade: I just noticed it, that's all.

Blade then went back to watching Pamela, Geronimo and Joshua have their friendly duel.

By that point, Joshua... oh. At that point, he would've just shown that his antimatter blades would've mopped the floor with plasma since the former completely counters the latter, since plasma is technically matter annnd… yeah. Now whether he already won the spar or not was variable.

Pamela and Geronimo lost the spar to Joshua's anti-matter blade.

Geronimo: Your anti-matter blade is marvelous, young Joshua. You are quite lucky to have it.

Pamela: Agreed, we still have to make weapons out of anti-matter.

"...Huh. I see," Joshua said, before reverting the blades back into their handles, reattaching them to his hips "Outstanding, Josh!" Mairlyn cheered "H... He took on two people in a spar and won?" Sada asked aloud.

Liam and Blade were impressed once again.

Liam: Man, Joshua's got skills!

Blade: He sure does. I have no doubt he would be a valuable asset to the Federations when he comes of age to join their military.

"...Speaking of which," Joshua spoke, before turning to face Blade "Only a few months left until that can officially happen."

Blade: Neat.

Liam nodded in agreement.

"Mm-hm," Joshua mouthed "And I'm joining him when I'm old enough too," Marilyn said "...Wait. What?" Joshua asked, sounding surprised.

Liam and Blade looked at Marilyn, surprised as well.

Liam: Really? You're joining him as well?

Marilyn nodded in response "...Uh... I'm not opposing this decision but... why?" Joshua asked. "Well, um... I noticed that the two of us made a good team back when the Black Arms invaded Mobius a few months ago. Along with the fact that you gave me training to protect myself, I realized that I might as well," Marilyn said "...But... your pacifism. Wouldn't that...?" Joshua asked "That's why you gave the modifications to my weapons for, right? I'll bruise, but I won't kill," Marilyn said "...So I see. Very well then... I look forward to it then," Joshua said, slightly smiling afterwards.

Everyone smiled at that.

Blade: Awww, that's sweet.

Liam: It sure is.

Pamela: Couldn't agree more.

Geronimo: Indeed. Anyway, with that little sparring out of the way, I think we should get going towards Brevicia. We've got no time to lose.

The two of them looked at Geronimo "Okay, let's get going," Marilyn said.

Geronimo nodded and everyone boarded the Cruiser. As soon as everyone was on board, the Cruiser took off for Brevicia.

Geronimo: I think we should go and get some sleep. We'll be there in a few hours, but we can't be at our best if we're tired all the time.

"...Alright then," Joshua said "That sounds about good to me to be honest," Sada said, a yawn coming from her.

Everyone nodded and went to their quarters. They then went to sleep.

Joshua and Marilyn went to their quarters and went to sleep on their bed, of course cuddling while they did so. Sada went to sleep in her quarters (that she had to pick), while Connie remained in the infirmary.

Later that night, everyone was asleep (Yes, night. Even though it's the middle of space XD). However, unknown to everyone asleep, there was a Twyops Cruiser nearing the Galaxy Knight Cruiser. They disabled the Galaxy Knight Cruiser's Rupture Overdrive with a jammer and then proceeded to board the ship. These Twyops consisted of a sergeant and three Twyops Knights. They all had white human skin, and had white spikes sticking out of their heads and faces. They were also dressed in black robes, the Twyops' signature color.

Twyops Knight #1 (quietly): Is the coast clear, sarge?

Twyops Sergeant (quietly): Yes, I believe so. Now let's hijack the ship and take it to the Leader.

The Knights nodded and the four of them snuck around the ship towards the control room.

Indeed, everyone asleep was unaware... but yet there was one soul still awake on the ship, right in it's infirmary. And that person was Connie, who noticed the ship stop "Huh? Are we here?" she said to herself, before she went out of the infirmary to go to the quarters. When she was doing this, the Twyops would be in the middle of boarding.

As Connie was heading to the quarters, she could notice the four Twyops sneaking towards the control room after they had boarded.

"...!" she gasped quietly before she went to hide in some cover "Wh... Who are they and how did they get aboard?" she thought to herself.

The Twyops continued to sneak towards the control room, unaware of Connie's presence.

"I... I need to warn the others!" she thought to herself, before she began making her way to the quarters, trying to be as quiet as possible when she walked.

The others were sleeping soundly in their quarters. Blade was smiling in his sleep. He appeared to be enjoying a really good dream.

Connie would make it to where the quarters were located, before she entered the first one she saw. Coincidentally, it was Blade's.

Blade: Zzz...It was my pleasure...To help you...

"Aw... he's having a dream. Oh, I hate to do this..." she said, before she walked over to his bed, shaking him gently "Blade, Blade. Wake up," she said.

Blade woke up immediately.

Blade: Whuh? Aw, Connie, why'd you have to do that? I was having such a nice dream...Why did you have to wake me? Are we there yet?

"No we're not... I think we're being bored," she said.

Blade: There's people on board...? Let me see...

Blade got out of bed and put on a t-shirt and some pants, then grabbed his C-T59 Plasma Rifle.

Blade: Lead the way...

She nodded "Wait, what about the others?" she asked.

Blade: Maybe we could get Geronimo or Francis to help us. I mean, they know how to fight in the way of the Galaxy Knight and we don't.

"Sure. You go get them, and I'll go get Joshua, Marilyn, and Sada."

Blade nodded and went to get Geronimo and Francis. He woke them up and informed them of the situation. They got dressed and followed Blade.

Connie meanwhile went to get Joshua and Marilyn first, who were of course sleeping in the same bed. After getting them up, Connie went to go get Sada, as Joshua and Marilyn emerged from their quarters... the former already have his sword handle out "...How did they board us?" he asked.

Francis: I'm not sure, but we're gonna try to find that out.

Geronimo: Yes, but before we harm them, we're going to try to negotiate with them. Us Galaxy Knights are not quick to resort to violence. We prefer to negotiate and fight with honor.

Blade: Well, let's try to find these people.

"...You really think these boarders are going to negotiate?" Joshua said before sighed "...Very well, we-" just as he was about to finish though, one of the quarter doors opened, as Connie emerged from it, as well as someone in a orange nightgown with yellow spots... and that someone looked to be a human female with long wavy brown hair while she had a sniper rifle hoisted over her shoulder. "We're being boarded?!" the female asked. Was she... Sada?

Blade looked shocked when he saw Sada.

Blade: Sada?!

The woman looked right at Blade "Y... Yes? What's wrong?" she asked. Joshua and Marilyn looked over to her as well and were... not as shocked.

Blade's shock soon faded away.

Blade: Sorry, I'm just not used to seeing you without your armor.

"O... Oh. Right, my... armor's off," she said, looking down at her nightgown.

Blade: No matter. We're gonna talk to those intruders.

Geronimo nodded and he took the lead. They found the Twyops intruders in the control room. The Twyops turned around and saw the party.

Twyops Sergeant: Shit! They're awake!

Blade: It's the Twyops!

Geronimo: Don't worry, Blade. I'll take care of this.

Geronimo then stepped forwards.

Geronimo: Don't worry, gentlemen, we won't hurt if you can calmly explain to us why you're on board of our Cruiser.

Twyops Sergeant: I'm not interested in talking, pal!

The Sergeant then drew his Energy Sword, which had a red energy blade. Red was the signature color of the Twyops' weapons.

The four of them followed the others into the control center and saw the Twyops. When negotiations broke down, Joshua sighed "...I knew this would happen," he said, before his blades ignited from his sword handle. Marilyn meanwhile took a couple of steps back while Connie brought out her two submachine guns and Sada tried to take aim with her sniper rifle.

Geronimo made a "No" gesture with his left hand.

Geronimo: We do not wish to harm you. Please put down your weapons.

Twyops Sergeant: Boys, attack!

The Twyops Knights drew their Energy Swords and attacked. Geronimo sighed.

Geronimo: Gentlemen, you leave me no other choice.

Geronimo and Francis drew their Energy Swords as well and dueled it out with the Twyops.

"...Cripes. If they wanted peace so badly, we should've brought Jayden," Joshua thought to himself, as he charged towards the Twyops sergeant with his sword in hand. Connie meanwhile tried to take down the duling Twyops with her submachine guns while Sada tried firing her rifle at one of them too. Marilyn at that point had drew out her modified pistol before she pressed and held the trigger... yet nothing fired.

All of the Twyops in the control room were taken out.

Blade: Well, they've been taken care of.

Geronimo: Yes. It's a shame things had to end in violence, though.

Francis: Yes, it's unfortunate, but the Twyops tend to be more violent and angry/fearful. They prefer to fight with their fists or their weapons, which is what us Galaxy Knights are strongly against.

"...Apparently so," Joshua said as his blades reverted back to his handle, looking at the others "Wait. If they boarded us, then... how did they get here?" Marilyn asked, putting her pistol on the safety so her charge shot could be disabled.

Geronimo: They must have disabled our Rupture Drive with a jammer. That means their ship must be stationed outside ours. I suggest we board the Twyops ship and see if they have anything that might be of use to us.

"...Very well then. But let's keep some of us on the ship in case they try to sneak back on," Joshua said "So... who's starting behind?" Connie asked.

Blade: I will.

"I... I will too," Sada said "...I'm going aboard," Joshua said "If you're going then I will too," Marilyn said "I'm going too, you need a medic after all!" Connie said with a smile.

Geronimo: Very well. Let's go.

Francis nodded and he followed Geronimo onto the Twyops ship.

"...Alright, let's go then," Joshua said, following the two to the ship with Marilyn and Connie. Sada however would stay with Blade on the ship "...Hey, Blade. Where's Liam?" Sada asked.

Blade: He's probably still asleep in his quarters. Same goes for Queen Pamela.

"Oh... I guess it might not be a good idea if we woke them up now," she said.

Blade nodded.

Meanwhile, Geronimo, Francis, Joshua, Marilyn and Connie were on board of the Twyops ship, looking around for anything that might be of use to them.

The three of them were navigating through the ship as they stood close to one another "...Hm... the interior of this ship is... odd, to say the least," Joshua asked aloud.

???: Hey, have you come to free me?

"...Eh?" Joshua mouthed "Whuh? Who said that?" Marilyn asked aloud.

???: I did.

If they looked in the direction the voice came from, they could see a young human boy sitting in a cell. Geronimo and Francis walked over.

Francis: Oh my, a child.

The three looked over to the human sitting in the cell, as they looked... relatively surprised "A... child?" Joshua mouthed. Connie couldn't help but quietly gasp "Oh, you poor thing! Why are you in that cell?" she asked, her... motherly tendencies kicking in.

???: The Twyops had captured me and locked me away in this cell. Are you perhaps Galaxy Knights?

"Um... no we're not. They would be those two," Marilyn said, pointing over to Geronimo and Francis.

Geronimo: Yes, we're Galaxy Knights. I am Geronimo Kind, a Galaxy Knight Master, and this is Francis Townley, my Student. What's your name, little one?

???: I'm Gerald Nicholson, though I usually get called Gerry. Can you please free me? I want to see my mama again...

Geronimo: Where does your mother live?

Gerald: She lives on the planet Chalice.

Francis: Chalice is on our route. We could make a stop on our way to Brevicia, right, Master?

Geronimo thought about it.

Geronimo: ...Okay, we're going to stop at Chalice before we get to Brevicia. Gerald's mother must be worried sick about the poor lad.

"That will be best for the little one," Connie said with an agreeing smile "...Very well then," Joshua said with a sigh.

Geronimo then proceeded to cut open the lock on Gerald's cage with his Energy Sword. The door opened and Gerald came out of it. He hugged Geronimo's leg, being grateful for being saved by him. Geronimo and Francis smiled at this.

Geronimo: Well, let's get you over to our Cruiser, young man.

Gerald smiled and nodded and proceeded to follow Geronimo and Francis back onto the Cruiser.

Connie couldn't help but ruffle Gerald's head when he hugged Geronimo's leg. Afterwards, the three would follow the others into the ship "...I just realized... are there other Twyops on this ship?" Joshua asked.

Gerald: I think I've seen a few of them patrolling the ship. Should we go back and do something about them?

"...I have an idea. Geronimo, do you have any schematics of the ship we're aboard?" Joshua asked.

Geronimo: I believe I do. Why do you ask?

"...I need to know where their armory and engine room is," Joshua said.

Geronimo: Well, let's see...The armory and engine room are in the northwest wing of the ship.

"...Good. Get everyone back to our ship and wait for my return... I'll be gone for just a moment," Joshua said, before he began taking off towards the northwestern part of the ship "Wait, Josh! What are you doing!?" Marilyn called out "...I'm going to annihilate this ship from the inside!" Joshua called back upon hearing her, continuing on his way towards his first target: the armory.

Geronimo and Francis brought everyone back to the Galaxy Knight Cruiser.

"H... He's going to be alright, right?!" Connie said out of worry "...I have faith in him... so all of us should too," Marilyn said, knowing full well of her boyfriend's abilities.

Francis: Yes, Joshua must know what he's doing, so he should be fine.

"Okay, okay... let's just wait for him to return then," Connie said.

Francis nodded.

Blade: Hey, you're back!

He then noticed Gerald.

Blade: Hey, who's the kid?

"Welcome back you... huh? A child?" Sada said curiously, noticing Gerald as well. "Right, um... we found him in one of their brigs," Marilyn said.

Gerald: Yeah. I'm Gerald Nicholson, though I usually get called Gerry.

Blade: Alright. Well, good to meet you. I'm Blade Eastwood.

Gerald: Alright.

Geronimo: We'll get him a room to sleep in...if there is any room left.

Blade: He can sleep in my bed. I'll just sleep on the floor if you have any more bed sheets left.

Geronimo: That's really nice of you, Blade. And fortunately, we do have some bed sheets and a matress left for you. We'll go get it.

Blade nodded and took Gerald to his room. Francis left to go get some bed sheets and a matress for Blade.

"Wait, hold up Blade!" Connie said before following him, of course her motherly tendencies kicking in. Marilyn and Sada on the other hand stayed where they were.

Blade turned to Connie.

Blade: Yes?

"You don't have to give up your bed for him. Please, allow me," she said with a soft smile.

Blade nodded and turned Gerald to Connie.

Gerald: Okay, let's go!

Blade: Francis, you don't have to get me bed sheets and a matress anymore! Connie is letting Gerald sleep in her room (That sounds so wrong lol) (God damnit XD) (Sorry XD)!

Francis: Okay!

Connie nodded before she looked at Gerald "Follow me, young one!" she said with a smile, before turning to walk over to her quarters.

Gerald nodded and followed Connie.

Geronimo: Well, let's wait on Joshua, and once he's back, we can get back to sleep and then we'll get to Brevicia.

"Okay. I hope he's alright..." Marilyn said.

Meanwhile on the Twyop's ship, Joshua was carefully navigating through the hallways of the ship. He had his rifle out, so he was expecting danger of some kind.

Suddenly, Joshua was ambushed by a Twyops gunman with a Plasma Rifle who dropped down from the ceiling and fired away at Joshua. Unfortunately, the Twyops gunman did not know Joshua had a Chaos Shield to protect him, so he made a grave mistake.

Indeed, the gunman did make a grave mistake due to his chaos shield. But at least he managed to startle him "Cripes!" he exclaimed, before he took aim with his rifle and fired, aiming for the man's chest.

The gunman was subdued as he laid on the ground, groaning in pain.

Twyops Gunman: Crap...You got me...

Joshua, taking the chance of the gunman laying on the ground, slammed his foot onto the man's chest "...Hm, how unfortunate for you then," he said.

Twyops Gunman: At this rate...The Twyops will be...Urk...

The Twyops Gunman then drew his last breath as he died from the plasma shot to the chest.

Joshua only blinked as the man died from underneath his foot "...Huh. Well then..." he said, placing his foot off of him before progressing through the halls. He was still lookin for the armory it seems.

Suddenly, Joshua could hear the ground quake as a large creature appeared to be making its way towards him. It soon came around the corner, and it appeared to be a large rock monster with four arms. It was equipped with four plasma rifles, holding them in its four hands.

"...Eh?" Joshua mouthed when he felt the floor quake before seeing the creature arrive before him "...You're kidding, right?" he said with an annoyed tone of voice.

The creature roared and began firing its plasma rifles all over the place, creating several holes in the ceiling, walls and floors.

"...Huh. It's accuracy is horrible," Joshua thought to himself, before he took aim with his plasma rifle, aiming specifically at the creature's head.

Joshua managed to take out the creature with a headshot. Unfortunately, all of the holes the creature created in the ceiling, walls and floors caused the ship to malfunction and plummet down.

"...You've got to be freaking...!" Joshua exclaimed before he immediately turned around and ran like hell back to the Cruiser.

Joshua managed to jump back onto the Cruiser in time before the Twyops ship fully plummeted down into space.

Indeed, he had done so, of which he was on the floor while leaning up, watching as the ship was plummeting down "...Cripes," he breathed out a relief. Suddenly he felt someone wrap their arms around him, which of course startled him. Once he heard the familiar voice of Marilyn however, his nerves calmed down "Josh! Are you okay!?" she asked out of concern "...Heh. Yes Marilyn, I'm alright," he said with a light smile.

Geronimo: Well, we're glad to see you're okay. I suggest we now all get back to bed.

"...Right. Come on my love, let's go to sleep," Joshua said as he stood up, as Marilyn kept close to his side "Right behind you," she said with a smile. Sada meanwhile already went back to bed beforehand.

Everyone went back to sleep as the pilot continued to fly the Cruiser towards Brevicia.

Indeed, everyone went to their respective quarters: Connie allowed Gerald to sleep with her in her bed (no giggity) as a caring mother would. Sada just plopped right on back into her bed while still in her nightgown, while Joshua and Marilyn went back to sleep into their shared quarters, of course the two lovers sharing the same bed and cuddling in their sleep.

After a while, the Cruiser made a stop at Chalice at Geronimo's request so that Gerald could see his mother again. Everyone woke up as they wondered where they were. Blade had gotten up and got dressed, and Liam did the same thing.

Liam: *yawn* Are we there yet...?

Connie would walk out of the door of her quarters in her Zarvokian uniform as she yawned "Nnn… are we there?" she asked. Joshua and Marilyn would also wake up and emerge from their quarters... except the both of them remained in their pajamas, the two of them wearing a matching pair of nightshirts and nightpants… why, they were even wearing slippers! "...What?" Joshua said yawning, noticing the look on Connie's face when she noticed the two walk out. Sada on the other hand... had yet to be seen.

Geronimo and Francis came out of their quarters as well, fully dressed.

Geronimo: We're on the planet of Chalice. We're making a stop here on our way to Brevicia so that Gerald can see his mother again.

Liam: Who's Gerald?

Blade: He's a kid they rescued from a Twyops ship last night.

Liam: Oh, I see.

"Yep! He's right here too. Say hello Gerald," Connie said with a soft, soothing tone.

Gerald: Hi, I'm Gerald Nicholson. I'm usually referred to as Gerry.

Liam: Well, it's nice to meet you. I'm Liam.

Geronimo: Yes. You stay here at the Cruiser. Connie and I will take Gerald to see his mother.

Liam and Blade nodded.

"I'd like that very much," Connie said with a soft smile "Well... we'll wait here then. Come on Josh, let's go to the living room!" Marilyn said before walking off "Wh… alright, guess I'm going now," Joshua said with a shrug, before following Marilyn. Sada… was still not seen.

Geronimo then left with Gerald and Connie.

Liam: So...Wait, where's Sada?

Blade: I don't know...
