After resting for a short while, the Wakeman family got back on the road and set course for Big Bend National Park. Since you and Olivia were bored, you looked up what you could do there. One of the things that stood out to you was the Lost Mine Trail. It used to be a popular hiking spot, but now they installed a train and railroad that cuts through it and circles the entire park. That’s a lot of land to cover in one trip, but it sounds like i could be fun. You see some other itinerary recommendations that mention bookstores and scenic drives, but you’ll most likely be going to scenic locations that require a lot of walking. You groan internally while thinking of the exercise that you’ll be getting today, when you notice Grandpa cautiously staring at a woman with white hair calmly sipping tea at your breakfast table.

As you and Olivia approach her, she peeks over in your direction and smiles. Her smile makes you a bit nervous for some reason.

[Hope]: Good Morning. You must be Wade.

[Wade]: Good morning. If you don’t mind me asking, who are you and what are you doing in our RV?

[Hope]: Oh! Forgive me, I forgot that we were never formally introduced. I’m Kirby’s wife, Hope Tennyson. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you. Kirby goes on and on about you and your family. I just had to see what all the fuss was about.

She extends a hand toward you, as if she wanted you to kiss it or something. But you simply take her hand and give it a gentle squeeze. She continues to smile, and you let go of her hand thinking that she’s satisfied by your reaction.

[Wade]: You have the same name as a girl I met a while ago. Are you from another dimension?

[Hope]: Yep. Me and Kirby are from the same dimension. We were enemies in the past, but I never could have predicted that we would get married in the future. Pray tell, what am I like in this dimension?

[Wade]: She's a girl around my age, and I think she's in an orphanage right now.

Hope is visibly surprised. But she doesn't seem angry in the slightest.

[Hope]: Really? What happened to Uncle Hex?

[Wade]: We stopped him from stealing the souls of innocent people and got him arrested.

You are a bit apprehensive to tell her that you got her uncle arrested, but she isn't showing any signs of hostility towards you.

[Hope]: Well I suppose that was inevitable. Hex will most likely be out of prison, and I'm sure I can take care of myself.

She laughs at her own joke and Olivia looks like she's getting less nervous around her.

[Wade]: Kirby told me a bit about you too. He said that you helped him up at a real low point in his life.

[Hope]: Oh yes, that fateful night when he crawled onto my doorstep. He was a mess. Going through withdrawal from the toxins he introduced into his body, battered and bruised from some punks who mugged him, and in tears from self-pity. I wanted nothing more than to destroy him, and crush any trace of pride that he might have left.

Everyone silently stares at Hope as she reminisces of the dark thoughts that she had on that night.

[Hope]: But for some reason, I brought him into my home and cleaned him up. I fed him, clothed him, treated his wounds, and even bathed him. I'm not sure why I did any of that. My worst enemy was powerless before me, but I think I sympathized with him a bit. I know what it's like to be abandoned by family.

Her tone grows soft, and her eyes reflect the love she feels for Kirby.

[Hope]: It's funny isn't it? If I had killed him back then, I would have never been as happy as I am now. I tried my best to get Kirby back on his feet, and he helped me in...other ways.

Grandpa starts coughing violently and Olivia blushes a bit.

[Olivia]: Do you mean...

[Hope]: Cooking and cleaning and the like. What else would I be talking about?

Hope's innocence is both surprising and refreshing.

I might just write out the history of their relationship in a pastebin someday.

>>3187579
That'd be great mate. I'm a sucker for cute stories like that one Hope glossed the hell over.

[Wade]: Why was Kirby on your doorstep in the first place? Didn't you guys hate each other?

Hope leans back in her chair and stares down into her teacup.

[Hope]: Who knows? Maybe he wanted me to end his life for him? But I'll never ask him about it. It would dredge up some terrible memories.

You see that Hope's mood is souring a bit, so you try to change the subject.

[Wade]: Can you tell me some stories about when you and Kirby were enemies?

[Hope]: Certainly! Now let's see...

For some reason she looks much happier recounting the details of when they would try to kill one another.

[Hope]: Ooh! There was the time that I tried to swap bodies with him when he was younger, and I accidentally swapped bodies with his cousin Gwen instead. I was so close to obtaining the power of the Omnitrix! And there's also the time where I joined a team of villains with the sole purpose of crushing and humiliating him! Good times...

[Wade]: You sound like you were a lot more...high strung in the past. What happened?

[Hope]: Honestly, I think it the quest for power that drove me to madness. Me and my Uncle. I learned that power corrupts, and it changes who you are. I think I met Kirby at a convenient time. He wasn't the only one trying to abstain from partaking in an addicting substance.

[Olivia]: You were in magic rehab.

[Hope]: That's a good way to describe it, yes. I no longer seek powerful relics in order to become a great and mighty sorceress. It was much too stressful. And that leads me to a lesson I promised Kirby that I would teach to you today.

Everyone leans in to listen as she closes her eyes.

[Hope]: Do not overstep your boundaries in your pursuit for knowledge and power. No matter how strong you think yourself to be, it's never enough. Trust me...

She takes a sip of her tea and sinks into her seat. You notice that she wears the same ugly bag that Kirby hangs around his waist.

[Hope]: Now, where are we going?

[Wade]: Dunno, what do you guys want to do?

[Phil]: Those mountain trials sound nice and refreshing.

Knew it.

[Olivia]: The train sounds cool. And less exhausting!

[Hope]: As interesting as the train sounds, I wouldn't mind stretching my legs for a bit. I've been cooped up in my inner sanctum for far too long.

[Phil]: Then it's settled. Make sure you wear comfortable clothes, everyone.

You manage to console a whining Olivia before you get dressed and get ready to go hiking. After everyone gets ready, Grandpa arrives at the park a few minutes afterward. Grandpa parks the Rust Bucket in a lot near one of the hiking trails and the rest of you start walking up the hill. Despite Olivia's complaints, she and Grandpa keep a pretty brisk pace the entire time. But you and Hope are walking a bit slower behind them. Neither of you are in a rush. She seems to be taking in the beauty of nature and savoring it as a precious memory. You'd probably do the same if you spent all of your time cooped up in a musty old sanctum.

Once you reach a resting area on the trail, you all stop to take a breather. You look over and notice that Hope is staring at your Omnitrix.

[Wade]: Something wrong?

[Hope]: Hm? Oh no, I just like the color. I never liked the green one.

Her bag rustles violently for a moment.

[Hope]: Oh nothing dear!

She leans closer to you while giggling.

[Hope]: Shhh! Don't tell him that I don't actually like the color green. He gets real sensitive about it.

You share a laugh with her and continue on the hiking trail after drinking some water. By now your calves are burning and you can feel your knees starting to buckle every now and then. Despite your enthusiasm, these guys are in slightly better shape than you are. Soccer practice gave you pretty good stamina though.

[Olivia]: Is it hot out here, or is it just Texas?

Olivia is furiously fanning herself. You suddenly hear a noise that sounds like trees falling over, then you notice the faint smell of smoke and ash. You all look around to find the source, only to see a long trail of magma being created by some sort of molten monster.

[Phil]: What in blazes is that thing?

[Wade]: I dunno, but he'll burn down this whole forest if we don't do something.

[Wade]: Hey Hope, you ever seen anything like that?

[Hope]: He kind of reminds me of my clay golems, but I've never seen anything like that before.

Her eyes suddenly widen as she's staring at the creature.

[Hope]: But I've certainly seen that before.

She points at a metal trinket inbedded in its chest. You look carefully and notice that it has a charm similar to Olivia's!

[Hope]: The Charm of Pyrokinesis. It's corrupting him, in both mind and body.

[Wade]: Can all of them do that? Even Ollie's?

[Hope]: If you abuse them and invoke too much of its power, the charm will respond by using your soul as an energy source.

[Wade]: Why would anyone do that?!

[Hope]: Because it would grant you enough power to become virtually invincible. At least for a year or so. And he'd loose his mind in the process. I doubt this guy would be reasonable at all.

You run up to the creature, carefully avoiding any fire or magma that may have spread.

[Wade]: Hey! You need to get rid of that thing!

[Magma monster]: Out of my way, kid. I've got a train to catch.

You're confused at first,but then you look at the bottom of the hill and see train tracks. You can also hear the train horn blowing in the distance.

[Wade]: I don't think the leather seats accommodate lava monsters.

[Magma Monster]: I won't be staying long. I just wanna get a hold of somebody before they can get away.

[Wade]: Anybody you get a hold of won't be walking away from it.

[Magma Monster]: So? He deserves it after what he's done to me.

[Wade]: I need you to turn around and stop spreading this fire. There are other people on this trail and on that train!

[Magma Monster]: Then I'll try no to hit anybody else when I clobber the guy.

The magma guy creates a slab of molten rocks and uses it to quickly surf toward the bottom. The magma almost splashes on your bare skin, only to be stopped by Hope's barrier.

[Hope]: I told you, he's corrupted in mind and body. He isn't thinking straight.

[Wade]: We can't let him reach that train!

[Olivia]: Uh, guys? I think we've got another problem!

You look around to see the forest quickly catching fire, and it's spreading fast!

What do you do?

>Transform into an alien and stop the spreading of the forest fire.(Which one?)

[Wade]: Can you guys help stop the fire? I need to go after that guy.

[Hope]: No problem.

[Olivia]: Easy for you to say. We don't have alien watches.

[Hope]: Let me teach a little trick. Tur-bo!

Hope projects a purple whirlwind from her hands, and the sheer force of it snuffs out the flames.

[Olivia]: Wow! Show me how to do that!

Knowing that they have the situation in hand, you open up your watch and transform into Big Chill. You spread your wings, fly high into the air and dive toward the trail of fire left by the molten man.

You attempt to phase through the creature and grab his charm from the inside. As you pass through him however, the charm somehow burns your hand and forces you out of his body.

[Wade]: That's never happened before...

You notice that the lava guy is sliding further down the hill and has reached the bottom by now. He stops on the tracks, his feet melting the rails as he steps on them, and he stands in front of the oncoming train. He then raises his hands, and molten pillars rise out of the ground, wrapping around the train and forcing it to come to a screeching halt.

[Wade]: Man, Hope wasn't kidding! Gotta do something...

You can't let those fiery pillars burn through the train. You fly over the top of the train and use your ice breath to freeze them solid. Once you do so, they begin to weaken structurally and crumble to pieces. Eventually, they break and the train starts moving once more.

The molten man doesn't get out of the way, but hold it back instead. As it starts to push him back further, his feet dig a trench of magma behind him. And since he melted the rails earlier, the train has nothing to run on. He uses this opportunity to start tearing the train open through the middle, exposing the conductor who's...tied up?

The molten man stops dead in his tracks once he realizes that he staring down the barrel of a blaster pistol. But he realizes too late, and a plasma shot to the face causes him to fly backward.

[Cowboy Knight]: Well I'll be a bald-faced Vulpimancer. What do we have here?

(Sorry for the delayed posts. A bit busy at the moment.)

[Wade]: Were you...robbing that train?

[Cowboy Knight]: Possibly. Were you fighting a lava rock monster?

The molten man rises to his feet once more, and he looks angrier than ever.

[Wade]: Don't you mean, were "we" fighting a lava rock monster?

[Cowboy Knight]: Point taken.

The cowboy puts his fingers to his mouth and makes a sharp whistling noise, signaling several other cowboy knights to pour out of the train with their weapons drawn. The leader of the bunch draws his guns and begins firing at the creature, making it recoil from the shots.

[Wade]: So what can I call you, cowboy?

[Jesse]: The name's Jesse. And yours?

[Wade]: I go by "X" these days.

[Jesse]: A code-name, huh? I respect that.

[Wade]: Can you distract them while I go for the thing on his chest?

[Jesse]: Sure can, stranger. You heard him boys! Lay it on 'im!

His goons proceed to fire relentlessly on the creature, forcing it to step back a few feet.

You take this opportunity to go intangible and reach for the charm once more. This time, you freeze the molten rock surrounding it and chip away at it. But when you touch it, something weird happens. Orange sparks begin to fly everywhere and it stings your skin even when you're intangible. There's something powerful protecting this thing.

The molten monster recoils by yelling loudly and causing magma geysers to erupt out of the ground around you! The lava that spills out begins to inch toward the train, and soon enough Jesse's gang appears to be surrounded.

[Jesse]: Climb on top of the train, now!

They do so, but you just continue to hover above the ground while flapping your wings. The molten man isn't looking too hot. No pun intended.

[Molten Man]: Just...a little more...

He seems exhausted. Maybe he's been drawing too much power from that charm.

(Distractions finally out of the way. Updates will be coming much faster now)

[Wade]: Keep firing!

You take a deep breath and exhale as much of you cryogenic cloud as you possibly can. The molten man tries to walk through it, but Jesse's gang lays on a barrage of plasma that forces him to slow down. He seems to be struggling to walk forward as he gets closer to you, and then his charm lights up and orange sparks engulf his entire body. With a bright flash he lays dormant on the ground, now a dried up husk devoid of any life.

[Wade]: Is he...

[Jesse]: Yep, he's dead. Show's over boys.

Jesse spins his guns and returns them to his holsters. His gang does the same, but with less style.

[Jesse]: You gonna explain what that thing was? because i ain't never seen an alien like that before.

[Wade]: Wait, you know about aliens?

Jesse leans his head back and laughs.

[Jesse]: Well I better. I am the Forever King of the West after all.

He's with the Forever Knights! And he's one of the head honchos!

Writing and combining...

You look him up and down for a moment.

[Wade]: You don't strike me as royalty.

You fly down to the lifeless corpse and snatch the charm from his chest. The charred skin attached to it crumbles at your touch.

[Jesse]: Why? Because I don't have a stick up my ass? Because I'm not crazy and hunting for dragons all day?

[Wade]: Well...yeah. Most Forever Knights seem like Xenophobic power hungry jerks! Why'd you help me if you're with them?

[Jesse]: I knew that I wasn't gonna be able to kill that thing by myself. It was in my best interest to partner up with ya. Besides, I know that all aliens ain't evil. And you weren't my target.

[Wade]: Target?

Jesse snaps his fingers, and his goons drag out a well dressed elderly man.

[Jesse]: This here's Doctor Humphrey. Charged with stealing a chunk of Amalgamite and testing it out on local runaways like our friend here.

Jesse points to the molten man.

[Wade]: Wait, so he was like a lab rat or something?

[Jesse]: One of the only ones that survived at least. My guess is that he had a friend or sibling that got caught too, and she wasn't as lucky as he was.

You look back at the dead creature that was once a healthy young man.

[Wade]: You call that lucky?

[Jesse]: Compared to what's gonna happen to the good doctor? Yeah, I do...

Jesse pulls out his pistol and points it at the mayor's head.

[Wade]: No!

You grab his gun and pull it away from him, causing his gang to aim their guns at you. Jesse calls them off with a hand gesture.

[Wade]: You're just gonna execute him? Why not just give him to the Plumbers?

[Jesse]: Because he doesn't deserve to live after what he's done. If we don't stop him now, then he'll just keep doing this crap later on.

[Wade]: Just because it's easy doesn't make it right.

He stares at you for a moment, then holds his hand out to you. You hands his gun back over to him, and he holsters it once more.

[Jesse]: Fine, take him. But if I see him causing trouble in my sector again, he won't be walking anytime soon.

He signals his gang, and they begin unloading hover bikes that were parked on the side of the train.

[Jesse]: I'll leave everything in your capable hands Mr. X.

[Wade]: It was nice meeting you, Jesse.

You extend a hand to him, and he firmly shakes it with his armored hand.

[Jesse]: Same here. If you ever need anything, just holler.

He leaves a sheriff's badge in your hand. You're a bit confused as to what it's supposed to do. As Jesse and his group ride into the sunset, your family slides down the hill and inspects the area.

[Olivia]: What happened? Where's the lava guy?

Everyone's eyes rest on the hollow husk laying on the train tracks.

[Hope]: We were too late. The charm consumed his body and soul. I suggest you hand that charm to me, before it does the same to all of you.

You toss it to Hope and she contains it with a force-field.

[Phil]: I've already called the Plumbers. We should probably get out of here before the cops do.

You look back and see the scared civilians in the train, so you pick up Olivia and take to the sky, while Hope takes Grandpa on a mana platform. Once you reach the RV, you time out and get back on the road. Can't be seen too close to the scene of the crime after all.

You see Hope fiddling with the charm while some sort of magic essence comes from her hands.

Session ending in next post.

[Wade]: How do you think that guy got his hands on the charm?

[Hope]: No idea. Maybe he bought it off some guy who had no idea of it's true power. What matters is that we have it back now. But it's become corrupted by the wielder, and it will corrupt anyone else that uses it. It needs time to heal from the toxic nature of it's previous use. Until then, I will hold onto it.

The room falls silent for a moment, so you change the subject to spark a conversation.

[Wade]: Hey guy's, did you know I met a cowboy knight earlier?

[Olivia]: What? Like guns and armor and everything? Did he have a ten-gallon hat?

[Wade]: Yes, yes and no. His name was Jesse and he was one of the Forever Knights. But he was different from the rest. He called himself a Forever King, like that last guy we fought back at the cave.

[Phil]: Kirby told me that the Forever Knights split into different factions, and they all have their own agendas. What did this guy want?

[Wade]: He said that he wants to bring justice to evil men.

[Olivia]: Kind of like the Plumbers.

[Wade]: Yeah, but his methods were really extreme. He tried to kill a guy over kidnapping and torturing kids. I didn't like the guy either but-

[Hope]: Sounds like he deserves it.

Everyone turns to Hope and gives her a worried look.

[Hope]: Anyone who sacrifices the life of an innocent deserves whatever's coming to them.

[Wade]: No matter what they've done, taking the life of someone else is wrong.

Hope looks back at you for a moment, but then turns around and goes back to fiddling with the charm.

[Hope]: That's just my opinion. Not even Kirby agrees with me, so I've learned to keep my thoughts to myself on the matter. Do as you please with your enemies, but know that you will suffer more than you will ever know when they decide to get their revenge.

[Wade]: Then I'll deal with them with the help of my team.

[Hope]: You watch wielders, always the optimists.

Seeing that the conversation has taken an uncomfortable turn, you fish the sheriff's badge out of your pocket and inspect it for a moment. You run your fingers along the grooves of the badge, and you find a point in the middle that can be pressed down like a button. After you press it, the badge pops open and unfolds to reveal a virtual map. It's a direct line between you and Jesse!

[Jesse]: If you ever need a favor, I'll be there. Remember, you only get one.

It appears that you only get one favor from Jesse before the offer expires. But you can call this in anytime you want, so that might prove useful someday. You close the badge and pocket it for later. You stare out the window for a while, remembering that the mission will be taking place tomorrow. This will be your first time leaving Earth, and it makes you a bit nervous.

[Phil]: So, what do you wanna do on your last night on Earth?

Well that was unintentionally ominous. But you haven't given it too much thought.

(And we're back! Charmcaster will eventually return by the way.)

[Wade]: I think I wanna spend it with you guys.

A genuine smile spreads across Phil's face, and Olivia grabs you from behind and starts teasing you.

[Olivia]: Aww, that's so sweet! Don't worry cuz, we'll make you last night on Earth a night to remember!

[Wade]: Can you guys please stop saying it like that? Oh, and do you mind if I invite K8-E?

[Phil]: I don't see why not. Give her a call and let her know where we'll be.

[Wade]: Well, where are we gonna be?

[Phil]: We're gonna partake in the one family sport that's responsible for bringing families closer together and sometimes bringing children to tears! That's right! We're going bowling!

Oh no. Grandpa gets really competitive when it comes to sports. Especially bowling! A sudden shrieking alarm interrupts your thoughts, and Hope pulls a bat-like clock out of her bag.

[Hope]: Oops, time's up! It was nice meeting you all, but it's time for me and Kirby to switch off again. Until next time!

She walks into the bathroom, closes the door, and the next thing you hear is a high-pitched ringing noise. A few moment afterward, Kirby walks out of the bathroom while stretching.

[Kirby]: Phew! Hey guys, what'd I miss?

You can fill him in on the way to the bowling alley. But in the meantime, you need to text K8-E. Or maybe calling would be more appropriate. You work up the nerve to call an alien girl for the first time and wait patiently while the phone rings. She picks up after the third ring.

[K8-E]: Hello?

[Wade]: Hey K8, you busy tonight?

[K8-E]: Not particularly no. the night is going by very slow since the kids are over at my sister's place.

[Wade]: You have a sister on Earth?

[K8-E]: Of course! She is my 3rd most reliable babysitter!

You think about asking about that last part in more detail, but you decide against it due to time constraints.

[Wade]: That's great, but I was wondering if you wanted to come hang out with me and my family.

[K8-E]: Oh i would love to! Send me your address and I will be over shortly.

[Wade]: Ok cool! I'm sending the address now.

[K8-E]: I've got the address. It should take me 45 minutes to an hour to reach your location.

[Wade]: Sweet, be sure to pack some food on the way just in case you get hungry mid-run. See you then?

[K8-E]: Ok, see you then.

That went well. You look behind you to notice that everyone is looking at you with smug ass grins.

[Wade]: Oh What?!

After getting relentlessly teased, you and your family make your way to the bowling alley. Grandpa sets up the game and covers the necessary expenses, while you choose your bowling ball and wait for the rest of them to get settled in.

Now it's time to decide how you're gonna play.

>Play casually. The real game starts when K8-E shows up.(No rolling required.)
>You. Are going. To win.(Roll required )

You decide to play casually just to pass the time. Grandpa goes first and gets a strike right off the bat.

[Phil]: Hoo-ah! Yeah baby!

Here it goes. K8-E isn't even here yet. Well you're used to it anyways. You're up after him, so you line up the shot and manage to knock down 8 pins. Sadly, the other two are too far apart , so you make it out with 9. Ollie on the other hand gets a gutter ball on her first roll, but she at least manages to knock down 7 pins on her second roll.

[Kirby]: So you guys fought a magic corrupted lava monster and some Forever Knight cowboy?

[Wade]: No, the cowboy was a good guy. Kind of. He had good intentions at least.

[Olivia]: But he tried to shoot a guy right? So he's probably killed before.

[Wade]: Maybe he just needs someone to show him a better way.

[Phil]: I don't think he's looking for a better way kiddo. You should be more careful. Your kindness is your best quality, but it might just get you killed one day.

[Kirby]: I agree. You can be nice, but not too nice. That's how other people take advantage of you.

After they lecture you, Kirby rolls and manages to pick up a spare. The game is pretty uneventful, but Grandpa ended up winning with Kirby being in second and you being in third. Olivia had a pretty rough time, but she doesn't seem to mind losing at all. You feel a sudden gust of wind, and you turn around to see K8-E standing behind you.

[K8-E]: Hello everyone! May I join you?

She appears to be wearing a pink sweater with a white shirt underneath and black yoga pants. You try not to stare for too long.

[Wade]: Sure, we just finished a game. We'll deal you in.

You help her pick a bowling ball, but then come to shocking revelation that you should've seen coming. K8-E can't grip the bowling balls.

Everytime she tries to get a hold of them with her clawed fingers, the ball slips right off and falls down. the surfaces are way too smooth and polished for her to get a good grip on them.

[K8-E]: Does...this mean I cannot play?

She sounds really disappointed, but you won't let your blue alien friend cry over this!

[Wade]: No, I'm gonna help you deal with your handicap

>Help her play by standing behind her and helping her to hold the ball.

You've got no other choice(You totally do). You've got to help her hold the ball. When it's her turn to bowl, you walk behind her and carefully place your hands over hers. Now it's important to remember, when you're bowling K8-E's hands are incredibly soft. Wait, that's not right. You're getting distracted by how good her perfume smells. Shit, you're doing it again! Ok, you've gotta focus and clear your mind. Clear your-

[K8-E]: Um, Wade? Isn't it our turn?

[Wade]: Huh? Oh right! Yeah, let's go.

You slowly walk toward the lane, instructing her on what she should be doing. Kirby and Phil raise an eyebrow while Olivia makes mocking gestures in your direction. You were expecting this kind of thing anyway.

[Wade]: Now it's important to remember that you should roll the ball, don't throw it. Imagine you're sliding along the ground.

[K8-E]: Right.

[Wade]: And don't step on the floor of the actual lane. It's super smooth and polished so you'll fall. Especially with your wheels.

[K8-E]: Actually they are not wheels. They are pearls that we harvest from-

[Olivia]: Just go already!

Olivia's shouts from the her seat and it snaps you back to reality.

[Wade]: You ready?

[K8-E]: Yes. Here I go...

She begins to roll the ball, and you keep a hand on it until it's close enough to the ground where you feel it's safe to let go. Unfortunately(very fortunate), this causes your hips to collide with hers for a moment and the both of you freeze up in panic. It seems that no one but the two of you noticed, and you feel as if you could stay cuddled up to her forever.

[Kirby]: Guys? Everything ok?

[Phil]: Did you pull something?

The both of you pull apart and begin apologizing to one another profusely. Afterward, you both you walk back to your seats and sit down in silence. Every now and then you'll steal a glance at her, and you're pretty sure her face is flushed. She must have been really flustered by what happened. Once it's your turn again, you get up to reach for your ball, only to shudder at K8-E placing her hands over yours.

[Wade]: K8-E?!

[K8-E]: I...thought you would need help when it was your turn. I wanted to return the favor. It was so difficult for me, and I didn't want you to have to do it alone.

She smiles in an almost innocent manner, but you notice that her face is still a bit flushed. Is she embarrassed?

>Allow her to help you bowl. You don't need it, but you really need it.
>Bowl separately and try to seriously win. You can make the rubber gloves for her in case she needs help. (Roll required)
>Refuse the help, but continue coaching her until it gets too embarrassing to do so.

Writing...

[Wade]: Uh, yeah sure. You can help me.

You allow her to take a position behind you as you walk toward your lane. Her scaly hands feel cool to the touch, but they begin to warm up the longer she holds on to you. And you can't blame her, you face feels like its on fire right now! You inch closer to the lane, not daring to look back at those smug ass grins that your family members are sporting right now. Once you get close enough to let the ball go, you signal K8-E that you're ready and begin lowering the ball. Once you release it, she makes the same mistake that you did before and she losses her footing as you both lean in to roll the bowling ball. The both of you are pressed against one another, frozen in this one blissful moment. For you it's probably been a few seconds, but for her, it must be like she's hugging you for hours on end. As this thought occurs to you, you wonder why she hasn't let go yet. Maybe...she doesn't want to.

[Kirby]: Ahem!

Kirby obnoxiously clearing his throat takes you out of your own head for moment, and the both of you take a moment to look each other. Once you see just how flustered she is, the both of you quickly break apart and head back to your seats. After a few more rounds of that embarrassment, you just decide to make the gloves for her. Just as you expected, Grandpa won again, with Olivia taking second and Kirby taking third. You got dead last this time because you couldn't focus, but you aren't mad about losing for some reason. You head back to the RV and take a seat next to Olivia, unable to meet K8-E's gaze after what happened.

[Wade]: Did you have fun?

[K8-E]: H-huh? Oh yes, it was quite enjoyable. I...would love to do it again sometime.

Your head is immediately filled with dirty thoughts after that last innuendo that she thew your way. And from the look on her face, she must be thinking the same thing. You thought her incapable of having indecent thoughts. The two of you quickly look away from one another, creating another awkward silence.

The ride back is a bit quiet, but Olivia does what she does best and sparks a conversation between everyone.

[Olivia]: Hey guys! I hear that there's gonna be a thunder storm viewing party around here!

[Kirby]: Watching a thunder storm? Sounds lame.

[Phil]: Actually, it's a great pastime in Texas. The weather in this state is all over the place, making it pretty unpredictable. And since the hills are really tall, you can camp out and watch storms in the distance.

[K8-E]: That's just like on my home planet, Kinet! We should go and watch the storm!

She sounds really excited about the storm watching. At least she's not being shy and embarrassed anymore.

You all decide to go drive up a nearby hill and camp out while watching the nearby storm.

(Continued in Next Post)

After you park the Rust Bucket near the peak of the hill, you hike up to the peak while carrying the blankets and food you prepared. You help the others set up camp and pick a good spot to watch the storm. The others pick a spot somewhat far away from you, causing you to believe that they wanted to give you some privacy.

[K8-E]: Beautiful isn't it?

[Wade]: Huh?!

[K8-E]: The storm. I know that I'm supposed to be afraid of lightning, but I just find it to be so majestic. It's so beautifully chaotic. An uncontrollable force of nature.

[Wade]: Yeah, I know what you mean. It's weird how something so deadly and destructive can be so pretty.

She smiles and nods in agreement, clearly happy that you feel the same as her.

[K8-E]: I haven't watched an electrical storm in a long time. I had no idea your people appreciated nature in the same way that we do.

[Wade]: I guess we aren't as different as we think.

[K8-E]: I guess not.

It gets quiet for a moment, but she breaks the silence after about a moment.

[K8-E]: I enjoy these outings that we have. You never treat me differently because of how I look. Sometimes I even forget that you're an alien. It's...very relaxing. You're the first real friend that I've had since I came to this planet.

[Wade]: Well you're definitely the nicest alien I've ever met. Well, scratch that. You're the nicest girl I've ever met. I never thought this summer would turn out to be so fun. I've done so many amazing things, and met so many amazing people. It makes me wonder what else could be out there.

You gaze up at the stars for a moment.

[K8-E]: Are you going to space soon?

[Wade]: Yeah. Top secret mission. But I'll be fine.

[K8-E]: I hope so. The galaxy is a dangerous place. Far more dangerous than Earth, and far more unforgiving.

K8-E remains quiet for a moment after that. She suddenly crawls closer to you, causing you stumble back when you notice how close her face is.

[K8-E]: Please promise me that you will return unharmed.

>Kiss her.
>"I promise. You be careful too, ok?"
>"I'll be fine. I've got friends that are watching my back."
>"Only if I can take you out on a date when I get back."

Did you guys want me to take both of these and keep writing? I wanted everyone to chime in before I moved on.

>>3194934
Yeah, I think they should be combined. Don't know why anyone else chimed in

>>3194938
I'll give it a few more minutes before I start writing, since I don't wanna make the decision for the players. But after that I'll combine and start writing.

Writing and combining...

[Wade]: I promise. You be careful too, ok?

[K8-E]: Oh thank goodness. I am not the one who will be partaking in a dangerous mission, so I will be fine.

[Wade]: Hey, it won't be that dangerous. Besides, I've got friends that are gonna watch my back.

[K8-E]: As long as you are careful, I cannot ask for anything more.

She's back to smiling again and it warms your heart. But you can't let a perfect opportunity like this go to waste. Now would be a great time to make a move!

[Wade]: But I have one condition.

[K8-E]: And what would that be?

[Wade]: I want to take you out on a date when I get back.

K8-E gasps and nearly falls backwards.

[K8-E]: A-a date?! As in...courting?

[Wade]: Yeah, something like that. Aliens go on dates too right?

[K8-E]: Yes, we do have courting rituals on my planet. i just never expected you to...

She looks somewhat conflicted. The look on her face makes your heart sink a way that you've never felt.

[Wade]: Is that a no?

[K8-E]: No! I mean...it's not a no! I had just never considered...no that's a lie...

[Wade]: If you need a moment to think about it-

[K8-E]: No, you deserve an answer.

She takes a moment to compose herself and take a deep breath.

[K8-E]: I have entertained the thought of being with you, but it never seemed like something that would actually happen. Considering you are-

[Wade]: An alien?

[K8-E]: So young...

She places a hand on your cheek as to console you. You really aren't sure how to feel right now.

[K8-E]: I do like you...very much so. But I do not wish to take advantage of you and your kindness. I would like nothing more than to be embraced by you, but I wonder if it is right to feel this way towards you. Certainly you would like to date a woman who was closer to your age, one without children.

It doesn't look like she means any of what she's saying right now, like she's forcing the words out. She isn't being honest with herself.

What do you say?

>"I don't care about the age and species gap. I want to be with you."

So that gives everyone enough time to vote on the matter. If you have a problem with the overnight votes, let me know and I'll try to do something about it.

[Wade]: If you want some time to sort out you feelings, I’ll respect that. But my feelings won’t change.

K8-E looks up at you with tears in her eyes. She must be emotionally overwhelmed.

[K8-E]: You will...wait?

[Wade]: Of course. Take as much time as you need.

[K8-E]: Once again, I am at the mercy of your generosity. I will give you my answer once you return. But you MUST return in order to hear it.

[Wade]: I told you I’d be careful, didn’t I?

K8-E is now smiling again, reassured by your patience with her. After the storm settles, the both of you head back to the RV to get some sleep. You and K8-E wish each other good night and go to your respective rooms. You were saying some pretty smooth stuff back there, but you can't help but be anxious. Thankfully, your family didn’t poke their noses in your business and ask how everything went. They were always mindful of sensitive topics like that. Maybe it showed on your face as you walked back with them. God, you really hope it didn’t look that bad. You end up staring at the bottom of Olivia’s bunk bed for about an hour before you can relax your mind and close your eyes without overthinking this whole dating thing.

As the sun rises the next morning, you wake up early and pack your things for the trip. You aren’t sure how long you’ll be off-world. Once you’re all packed, you walk out to the living room and see that everyone has woken up early in order to make you breakfast and see you off. It’s honestly a surprise to see Kirby up earlier than you.

[Wade]: Hey, what’s all this?

[Phil]: We couldn’t see you off without letting you eat some good old-fashioned Earth breakfast.

[Olivia]: He actually used ingredients from Earth too. I checked!

[Kirby]: I dunno. The kid has the taste buds of an alien, so he might feel right at home up there.

[Wade]: Really guys, thanks for doing this.

[K8-E]: It is the least we could do for you.

It feels a bit weird talking with K8, but you’re just glad that things haven’t gotten weird between the two of you. After you finish eating your breakfast with your family, you wait outside the RV with your family. Grandpa activated some sort of beacon in his Plumber’s badge and handed you an extra that he had on hand.

[Phil]: I want you to have this. Each Plumber badge has a built in tracker, so I’ll always know where you are, and vice versa.

[Wade]: Does this make me an honorary Plumber?

[Phil]: You already do our work for us, you might as well get recognized as one.

Grandpa laughs loudly and slaps you on the back. This badge should help get you out of tough situations should you ever get into a jam.

As you chat idly with your family, you feel a powerful gust of wind coming from behind you. You all turn around to see a large gray ship landing on the peak of the hill. After it lands, a platform drops down and Kevin walks out to greet you.

[Kevin]: Wakeman! How you doing, buddy?

[Wade]: Better now that those Providence guys are behind bars. Now you can come back to Earth after this whole mission is over.

[Kevin]: Yeah, and I can finally see my mom. She probably doesn't even think I'm still alive at this point.

Kevin starts nervously scratching the back of his neck.

[Wade]: Then let's be sure to surprise her when we get back.

[Kevin]: Yeah, I guess we both got people waiting for us to come home.

He looks back at your family and waves at them. Olivia and Grandpa are the first to pull you into a hug.

[Olivia]: You better bring me back a souvenir, doofus.

[Phil]: Can you make mine a Protozoan smoothie? I haven't had one in years.

[Kirby]: I'm pretty sure I recognize who that ship belongs to, so be sure not to touch any of the controls. He might shoot you for it.

Grandpa and Olivia look back at Kirby for a moment, and he resigns to the peer pressure with a deep sigh.

[Kirby]: Fine...

He reaches into his bag and tosses you a rock with purple runes engraved into it.

[Kirby]: Be careful out there, kid.

You are about to respond, but K8-E pulls you into a tight hug that takes your breath away. You aren't even sure when she got so close to you.

[K8-E]: I will be awaiting your safe return, Wade.

You give her a warm smile and a hug in return. After that, you grab your things and walk to the ship with Kevin. As the platform elevates, you see your family waving at you in the distance. You feel the ship vibrating and the engine roaring to life as it lifts high into the sky and prepares to jump to light speed.

Kevin shows you where to put your stuff and directs you to the main deck afterward. When you arrive, you see a rat-like alien and a duck steering the ship.

[Kevin]: Wade, this is Argit and Rad. Tripp and Dribble said that they could get the job done since they wouldn't be able to make it. Some urgent Plumber business or something.

[Wade]: Nice to meet you.

[Argit]: Yeah whatever.

The duck just scoffs at you. Well that wasn't the warm reception that you were expecting.

[Kevin]: Yeah, sorry about that. Argit's a little on edge because they're making him do this to avoid going to prison. And Rad's well...he's Rad.

[Argit]: Honestly, I almost chose prison. Breaking into Incarcecon is basically suicide! You people are crazy! And that's coming from me!

A purple AI suddenly pops up and starts spouting gibberish.

[Rad]: Yes, Pyxi. They are a bunch of flat-foots.

Well this is getting uncomfortable.

You're gonna be with these guys for a few days, so you might as well get along with them.

[Wade]: So, what'd you get put away for Argit?

[Argit]: Easy Skreegit transport job got botched by a jittery pilot. He collided with a gas tank filled with poisonous gases, and the rest is history.

[Wade]: That doesn't sound too bad.

[Argit]: Have you ever seen a Skreegit exposed to a high nitrogen deposit?

[Wade]: Uh, no?

[Argit]: Well it got messy, and I racked up a whopping bill of 15,000,000 Taydens. And since I don't got that kind of scratch on me right now, I'm stuck doing this to pay it off.

[Wade]: I don't know how much a Tayden's worth, but I didn't know they were willing to pay so much for this mission.

[Rad]: That's the only way they could afford to hire me.

[Kevin]: Rad's one of the best pilots in the galaxy. He's even tangled with some of the biggest and baddest bounty hunters out there, and he came out without a scratch on him. Or...so he says.

[Rad]: Wish I could say that about my ship.

Pyxi pops out once more and mutters something that that you can't understand. That gives you an idea!

[Wade]: Hey Trixy! Can you interface with another AI?

[Trixy]: I can. Would you like me to interface with the ship's artificial intelligence?

[Rad]: Don't touch my ship.

He's somehow in a worse mood than he was in before. Pyxi pops out to say her piece as well.

[Trixy]: I promise that my methods will not be intrusive. The interface will be completely consensual.

She can understand that thing?

[Rad]: No. No interfacing with my systems.

[Wade]: Well, they can just talk for a bit. Who knows? maybe they'll get along.

Pyxi mutters something to Rad.

[Rad]: You want to associate? Fine. Just do it away from the cockpit.

A tiny module floats above the ship's dashboard and display's Pyxi's purple rectangular icon. She then starts hovering around your watch and spouting more of her gibberish. Well it looks like Trixy's having better luck making friends than you are. They might warm up to you later. You go to your room for a little while and lay down while Trixy and Pyxi communicate via wireless transmission.

You pull out the purple rock that Kirby gave you and inspect it. It looks like it has a tiny little face in the middle, so you trace your fingers around the grooves and indents of the egg shaped stone. You start to wonder what you're supposed to do with it, but then you get the idea to infuse it with mana. You direct your mana to your fingertips and focus on the rock in your hand. Sure enough, the rock begins shaking violently and it practically jumps out of your hands before unfolding and growing into some sort of tiny stone golem. It looks to be almost 3 feet tall now.

You start backing away from it, but that only prompts it to jump on your leg and stare at you expectantly. You observe that it's kinda behaving like a dog, so you try to pet it. It nuzzles your hand and you swear that you can feel it purring, but you have no idea what kind of pleasure this creature can derive from having its cold, hard skin caressed.

[Wade]: Hey little guy, you got a name?

It looks at you in confusion. Maybe you should give it a name.

I'm willing to switch to Slate. Mostly so we can get this over with.

>>3198482
>>3198529
2 for Slate. If you want, you guys can debate it later. But for now, writing...

[Wade]: I think I'll call you Slate. Do you like that?

His eyes light up and he barks at you in a deep gravely tone. That was...kinda cute?

[Kevin]: I'm not sure if Rad would like pets on his ship.

You look over to see Kevin standing in your doorway.

[Wade]: He was kind of an unexpected stow-away. But he's an adorable stow-away.

Kevin gets closer and kneels down to pet the creature. And as soon as he makes contact with it, he accidentally absorbs a bit of it, creating a brown layer of hard clay over his skin.

[Kevin]: Sorry about that. I'm still having a bit of trouble controlling it.

[Wade]: No harm done. It took me a little while to get the hang of the watch.(Not really though.)

Kevin seems to inspect your watch for a moment.

[Kevin]: I've been meaning to ask, but what is that thing? I saw you turn into a couple of aliens, but I've never seen anything like it. Whenever I asked Koba, he told me that it was the "Most powerful weapon in the galaxy".

[Wade]: I don't know about it being a weapon, but I don't see it as one. Sure, it can turn me into powerful aliens, but it also deepens my understanding of them. Like I'm walking a mile in another species' shoes.

Kevin seems impressed by your insightful illustration.

[Kevin]: Huh. I never pegged you for the philosophical type.

[Wade]: Sounds like you're easily impressed.

He punches you in the arm playfully, but it actually hurts a lot more than you expected it to.

[Kevin]: But that watch sure is convenient. You can decide when to turn into a freak, and when to turn it off.

He seems to get a bit depressed by his own statement.

[Wade]: Not really. I'm a mutant too remember? I'm a freak 100% of the time.

[Kevin]: Least that explains how ugly you are.

[Wade]: Better looking than you at least.

You have no idea why, but Kevin feels like the big brother that you never had. At least one person here wants to talk to you.

>Talk to Kevin about your problems back home on Earth. It might be nice to have someone to vent to.
>Retell your adventures to Kevin.

You kick back and reminisce about your past adventures with Kevin.

[Kevin]: So you've been trouncing alien bounty hunters, super-villains, robots and an alien virus?

[Wade]: I also learned how to box and how to use magic.

You create two floating purple fists and begin shadow boxing in order to show off. Kevin is absolutely loving the light show.

[Kevin]: Man, you think you can teach me how to do that?

[Wade]: I'm still a beginner, so I have no idea how I would go about teaching someone else.

[Kevin]: Fair enough. Still, it sounds like you've got it made back on Earth. Loving family, alien watch, magic spells, and a rock dog. What more could a boy want?

[Wade]: Oh believe me, I've got my fair share of problems.

[Kevin]: Like what?

[Wade]: Well, I can never relax because I'm being hunted by alien bounty hunters. And it feels like I can't go a day without running into trouble. If I hadn't found the watch when I did, then I probably would've died a while back.

[Kevin]: Well you've got a team to watch your back right? When I was living on the streets, there was no one that I could trust. Don't take your family for granted, Wakeman.

[Wade]: I love my family, but I get scared that they'll get themselves killed by trying to help me. And Grandpa keeps telling me that I'm one of the only heroes that Earth has left. How am I supposed to take that? What happens if I lose? Is Earth screwed?

[Kevin]: That's pretty heavy. But I don't know what you're so worried about.

[Wade]: What do you mean?

[Kevin]: From what you told me, you made friends with anything that breathed. If you can't even count on your friends and family, then you might as well just go solo.

[Wade]: Huh. I never thought of it like that. You sure you aren't the philosophical type?

[Kevin]: Nah, can't be. Stopped going to school. What with being kidnapped and all.

The both of you share a few laughs, and get really relaxed over a few weird tasting blue drinks.

[Wade]: And then there's...nah.

[Kevin]: Come on, what's up?

[Wade]: It's nothing. I just...do you have any experience with women?

[Kevin]: Of course. I only got rejected by the same woman for 4 years.

[Wade]: Ouch. Who was the lucky lady?

[Kevin]: Her name was Rebecca Holiday, and she was the most beautiful woman that I've ever seen.

[Wade]: Probably the only one.

Your sly comment earns a frown from Kevin, so you ease up to show that you didn't mean any harm.

[Wade]: Sorry. Continue.

[Kevin]: I asked her out more times than I can count, but she always said that she wasn't looking for a relationship. I knew that was a lie though. I saw the looks she gave that string bean in the green suit.

[Wade]: Who?

[Kevin]: Agent Six. He was in charge of keeping the experiments, like me, in line. Dude looked like a middle school principal, but he could fight. Learned that after my 3rd break out attempt.

[Wade]: So you were getting beat up by the guy that your crush was in love with? Damn that sucks.

(Continued in Next Post)

[Kevin]: Life's what you make it. I wasn't miserable so long as the Doc was there. Then came Malware. That miserable slime-ball.

You should probably hold off on telling him that you let Malware go.

[Wade]: Was it really that bad being bonded with him?

[Kevin]: He was always whispering in my ear, telling me that I'm worthless and that I should let him do all the work. He wanted to take control of my body, and he fought me 24/7 to make it happen. That went on for 3 months before you showed up. And they stopped letting the Doc visit me around that time. I've no idea where she went.

[Wade]: Hopefully she's still ok.

[Kevin]: Yeah, I wanna see her again. At least one more time.

Kevin goes silent as he swallows the rest of his blue beverage and slams the glass on the nightstand.

[Kevin]: So I gave you my dirt. Time for you to spill yours.

[Wade]: Fine, fine. There's a girl back home. She's an alien. Kineceleran.

[Kevin]: Fast blue dinosaurs, right? What was she like?

[Wade]: She's the best. Kind, smart, funny...

You snap yourself out of your trance before you start getting sappy.

[Kevin]: And? What happened?

[Wade]: I confessed to her, and she asked me to give her more time to decide. I don't know if I made a mistake or not. Did I just ruin our friendship by asking her out? I don't want her to say yes out of pity or obligation, and I don't want us to get...weird when we see each other.

[Kevin]: Well, she didn't turn you down right? That's something.

[Wade]: Yeah, but I don't know if she can even be with me. She has kids and-

[Kevin]: Wait, she has kids?! Do you really wanna be a Dad at the age of 15?

[Wade]: I...wasn't thinking of that I guess. I was only thinking about her. And her kids aren't that bad.

[Kevin]: They aren't bad until you have to pay child support and babysit them.

[Wade]: I don't think we're gonna be getting married anytime soon, so I'm not worrying about that.

[Kevin]: I guess I can't judge, though. If the Doc had kids, then I'd probably still be head over heels for her. And that brings me to my next point. If you're in love with someone, sometimes you gotta let things get weird.

[Wade]: What do you mean?

[Kevin]: Women like a man that knows what he wants, and if you show her that you're serious about her, then she'll start to seriously consider dating you. Take it from a guy that's gotten rejected for four years.

[Wade]: I don't know if that advice can be applied to all women...

[Kevin]: All I'm saying is you've gotta hang in there and commit. I'm sure she'll come around.

[Wade]: You really think so?

[Kevin]: Yeah. But remind me, how'd you two meet again?

[Wade]: I saved her from-

[Kevin]: Oh yeah. You'll be fine.

After chatting with Kevin for a bit, he leaves and you try to get some rest. It feels a bit weird to lay down on a space ship in light speed, but you eventually get used to it.

(Continued in Next Post)

A gentle, yet audible alarm wakes you up and signals you to start getting ready. The prison must be getting close. You change into your clothes and go to exit your room, only to be stopped by Slate. You forgot he was sleeping at your feet. He seems to be eager to play with you.

[Wade]: Sorry Slate. It's an important mission, and I don't think I'm allowed to bring you.

He seems to understand you, since he whines and curls up into a corner. You walk into the cockpit and inspect the prison coming into view. It's a massive ship that makes the Lovely Duck(Rad's ship) look like ant in comparison. It's only obscured by the incredible amount of scrap floating around. You're pretty sure they're the remains of other ships.

[Wade]: Man that thing's huge.

[Argit]: And armed with sensors that can pick up any unauthorized spacecraft that comes within 500 clicks of it. Not to mention the anti-material artillery guns that track with a two percent margin of error. Two! TWO PERCENT!

Argit gets up in Kevin's face, only to be shoved back int his seat.

[Rad]: Don't worry, Rat. They can't track us if we go into low power mode, open up the heat sinks, and shut off our sensors.

[Argit]: But then we'll be flying blind! That's crazy!

[Wade]: I do my best flying under pressure.

[Kevin]: Man he's cool.

Before you can retort, you are pulled to the side by Rad's erratic flying. He appears to be using the debris as a way to conceal the ship. This continues for about 10 minutes, since you couldn't afford to be impatient. Once you near a giant hole underneath the prison, the ship comes to a complete stop.

[Wade]: What are we doing?

[Rad]: We are not doing anything. You, the Sasquatch and the rat will be going in there.

He points to the giant hole.

[Wade]: What's that?

[Argit]: Ugh. The trash chute...

Argit groans as he throws space suits at you and Kevin.

[Wade]: Can't you get us any closer?

[Rad]: Any closer and the ship's sensors will pick up on our body heat. The suits contain a cryogenic gas that will hide you from thermal scans. The heat sinks will only hold for an hour, so we've gotta be in and out.

[Wade]: Got it.

You, Kevin and Argit head to the air-lock and prepare to be ejected into space. This mission is gonna get dangerous from here on out.

[Argit]: Once we get out there, we need to climb up the trash chute using these.

He presses a button on his stomach and a mechanical tentacle pops out.

[Argit]: This will let you stick to just about anything. Once we climb up the chute, we've gotta find Myaxx. That's where you come in.

He points to you.

[Wade]: Me?

[Argit]: Yeah you! The plumbers told me that you've got a way to track down alien DNA signatures. We're gonna need that.

You nod in confirmation

Kevin takes your arm and shows you how to activate the built in boosters in the suit. It appears that there are pressure pads on your left hand that will grant you brief boosts in momentum. he also shows you ho to activate and control the mechanical arm built into the suit. After a taking a few deeps breaths, you vent the air lock and prepare to take your first step outside of the ship. Kevin goes first, and Argit goes right after him. You manage to psyche yourself out and just jump after them.

It's a bit hard to balance yourself at first, but you get the hang of the booster controls rather quickly. You even start to get creative and use the arm to swing yourself around incoming debris.

[Wade]: Hey guys, check it out! I'm doing it!

[Kevin]: Nice!

[Argit]: At least now I know that I don't have to wait for you.

The three of you take a while to climb up the chute, since there aren't too many chunks of debris heavy enough to remain stable as you pull yourself toward it. Once you reach the top, you look around to see several Octopus-like creatures crawling on the walls and ceiling. They appear to be mechanical in nature, and thankfully they haven't spotted you yet.

[Wade]: What are those?

[Argit]: They're sweepers. They inspect trash for life signs and make sure nothing gets in or out without them noticing. The suits are hiding our vital signs and thermals, but if we try to slip past them, they'll just slap us back down the chute.

[Wade]: Then what do we do?

[Argit]: Do i have to do everything around here?

[Kevin]: You're the one who said that you know this place inside and out. So you come up with the plans.

[Argit]: Fine, I'm thinking!

He taps his helmet for a while, before looking back at the chute and snapping his fingers.

[Argit]: Hey guys, help me with this thing over here!

He runs back over to the chute and fires his mechanical arm at a large chunk of debris. It almost pulls him back down, but you and Kevin quickly grab him and pull him and the debris back over to your side.

[Wade]: Ok, what now?

[Argit]: Wait for it...

The sweepers go straight for the large chunk of debris and tear it to pieces.

[Kevin]: Now's our chance!

You all run towards the exit, but right before Argit can get to the door, a mechanical tentacle latches on to his foot.

[Argit]: Gah! Help!

The machine begins dragging him back toward itself. You run over to try and help him, but Kevin stops you.

[Kevin]: If you attack the sweepers, then the scouts are gonna come down to inspect the area. Our suits don't hide us from them. This mission's gonna get a lot tougher if we hit those things.

[Wade]: But we can't just leave him!

What do you do?

You act quickly, grabbing a bunch of floating junk and chucking it towards the sweeper. It cannot resist following its programming, so it reaches for each individual piece of junk and throws them into a built in furnace. You and Kevin throw so much debris at the machine, that it lets go of Argit for a moment and focuses on grabbing the floating junk. In that instant, you fire your mechanical arm at Argit and reel him in. Argit flies toward you, colliding with you and Kevin, and sending all of you tumbling through the door.

Kevin quickly gets back up and forcefully closes the door just before a sweeper can reach for you. Its tentacle gets caught in the door and is eventually cut off from the pressure of the closing door. Argit is shivering and clinging to you like a needy child would.

[Wade]: Uh, Argit? We're not in danger anymore.

[Argit]: Huh? I-I knew that! That was just my people's way of expressing our gratitude.

[Kevin]: Uh-huh.

[Argit]: Shut up!

[Wade]: Guys, we gotta focus up. What do we do next?

[Argit]: We use that watch of yours to locate Myaxx's cell.

[Wade]: Right, no problem. Hey Trixy, can you locate any aliens that we haven't scanned already?

[Trixy]: Sure thing, hun. Detecting multiple life-signs from unknown aliens.

The hell was that? She's never addressed you that way.

[Argit]: We don't have time to sort through them all! Search for a Chimera Sui Generis.

[Wade]: Yeah, what he said.

[Trixy]: Alright already! Hold your horses! DNA signal detected. Tracking in progress.

There's definitely something wrong with your AI. Maybe Pyxi influenced her? You'll deal with it later.

[Kevin]: Ok let's go get her.

You all begin running to the location of the signal, when Argit stops near a window. And he looks absolutely mortified.

[Kevin]: Come on, Argit! We gotta go!

[Argit]: T-that's Incarceron...

[Wade]: Yeah...we're on it right now...

[Argit]: N-n-no! The other one! The other Incarceron! The one in the Null Void!

[Wade]: The other one?

[Kevin]: Rad told me that there's a second Incarcecon inside the Null Void. But that's-

He walks over to the window and is frozen by fear as soon as he sees what Argit sees.

[Kevin]: Right here...

You walk over to see a second prison ship, just as large as the one that you are on. Hurtling directly toward you! You see a giant portal behind it, and several large ships pouring out of it.

[Wade]: Run!

You all try to get away from the window, but there's nowhere to run. You feel the ship shaking violently, and the sound of metal grinding against metal. Then, everything goes black.

Session End

Thanks for Playing! Hope you guys enjoyed the session.

The next session will be held on Friday at 4pm EST.

>>3199015
Oh boy, I can tell that's the result of our first big bad.

The quest seems to alternate between having a good amount of posters to very little. Does it have something to do with the time that a session takes place?

>>3199292
>The quest seems to alternate between having a good amount of posters to very little.
I for one don't have access to the 4chan on several days of the week thanks to retarded uni firewalls.

>>3199292
I've no idea why the number of posters fluctuate so much, and I'm unsure of which days would be good for holding sessions. Sometimes I strike gold, and sometimes the low traffic day hits hard. I think Twitter helps a bit, but it's also kinda random at some point.

And like>>3199312, everyone's got different circumstances and schedules. I usually don't like to run my quest past midnight too often, so I try to always start around 4 or 5pm and end around 12am.

As you open your eyes, you can see blurred glimpses of fire and flashing light. You hear a muffled voice, presumably Kevin’s, but it sounds like you’re underwater. Soon enough, you manage to muster up enough strength to pull yourself up, while Kevin helps you.

[Wade]: What happened?

[Argit]: An ambush happened! This is bad man!

You and Kevin walk over to the now cracked window, and you see an intense firefight that looks like it came straight out of a high budget sci-fi movie. Red and green plasma shots light up the skies, and the sweepers are now outside defending the prison from passing star-fighters. Some even manage to swat a few out of the air.

[Kevin]: Look over there.

You look to where Kevin’s pointing and see the same large ships that came from behind the second Incarcecon.

[Kevin]: Those are Class-A Dreadnaughts. And that big one kinda reminds me of-

[Argit]: The Chimerian Hammer…

[Kevin]: You mean Vilgax’s ship? Didn’t he die?

[Wade]: I guess someone cleaned out his garage. What’s our next move?

[Kevin]: That crash took out the main generators, so the backup generator is diverting power to life support. We should be able to ditch the suits for now.

[Argit]: But that also means that the prisoner’s containment cells aren’t receiving power.

[Kevin]: Aren’t those on another grid?

[Argit]: That alarm that’s been blaring at us means that the grid is down! They’re running free now!

[Wade]: We still need to get to Myaxx’s cell. Hopefully she’s still there and unharmed.

[Kevin]: What route do we take?

After ditching your suits, Argit displays the plans for the prison. You have a few options here.

>Cut through the cafeteria. There will most likely be prisoners there though.
>Play it safe and try to avoid security while they’re busy with the situation outside. They don’t know that you’re here yet.
>Put the suits back on and risk doing a spacewalk during the firefight. It’ll be dangerous, but there won’t be anyone targeting you specifically.

[Wade]: Here. We can cut through the cafeteria as a shortcut.

[Kevin]: Really? That's definitely gonna be where the prisoners are holing themselves up.

[Wade]: Yeah, but Myaxx might be there. And if she isn't then I'm pretty sure we can handle ourselves if things get ugly.

[Argit]: So you want to purposely get caught by the most dangerous crooks in the galaxy? This outta be good...

[Wade]: Oh, one sec. It's Show Time!

Your suit automatically equips to you, comfortably fitting over your clothing. You've never shown this to Argit and Kevin before, so you wonder what they'll think of it.

[Argit]: This is not the time to be playing dress up!

Kevin shoves Argit aside and inspects your costume.

[Kevin]: That is so cool! You're like some kind of-

[Wade]: Superhero?

[Kevin]: I was gonna say anime protagonist, but that works too.

Well that's one way to look at it.

You make your way to the cafeteria by following the map that Argit provided you with. When you reach it, you notice that there's someone talking inside. You peak through the door and see a fish-alien with large jaws barking orders to the others. Before you can see who else is in there, a Tetramand wearing an eyepatch grabs you all from behind and throws you inside of the mess hall. The prisoners turn in your direction and move to surround you, while the fish alien walks closer to get a better look at you.

[Triclops]: Caught these guys spying on us.

[Lockjaw]: Well look what we have here. Bunch of guppies made there way into the shark's den.

[Bug-Lite]: What should we do with them, boss?

A man-sized bug with large eye-stalks walks up behind the fish guy.

[Lockjaw]: Feed 'em into the meat grinder. I'm starved...

The way they're looking at you reminds you of how a predator would appraise its prey. But you have no intention of being fed to bloodthristy criminals.

[Wade]: We don't want any trouble. We're looking for a prisoner named Myaxx.

The prisoners glance at each other for a moment before returning their gaze back to you.

[Lockjaw]: The big green one? She ain't here. That means she's either in her cell or dead.

[Bug-Lite]: Why do you wanna know?

[Wade]: We came here to break her out, but somebody else got in the way before we could get to her.

[Kevin]: Which is why we've got one prison shoved into another prison.

[Argit]: Any chance you can let us go now?

The fish boss looks like he's considering the situation for a moment.

[Lockjaw]: You got any weapons?

[Wade]: Nope. You guys?

[Kevin]: Nuh-uh. Didn't think I'd need one?

You both look to Argit, who seems to be sweating profusely.

[Argit]: Gah! Fine!

Argit reaches into his pants and pulls out a blaster that looks like it's too big to have fit in there.

[Argit]: Here.

He hands it to the fish alien, who takes it with the tips of his claws in order to avoid touching it. He then tosses it the big bug behind him.

[Lockjaw]: Wash this.

[Wade]: Does that mean we can go?

[Lockjaw]: Get out of here before I change my mind.

You all take this opportunity to run away from the hostile group of criminals.

[Lockjaw]: Oh yeah, one more thing. You might wanna leave before things get messy.

[Kevin]: What's that mean?

[Triclops]: Those Null Void prisoners are gonna be here soon. And they're a hell of a lot worse than us.

[Lockjaw]: We need to stand our ground, and that blaster will help a ton.

You turn back around continue running before you can properly process this new information. As you near Myaxx's cell, you stop to inspect the area. There's a ton of shrapnel and dead prisoners around the area. They must have been the unlucky ones who got caught in the blast. You cautiously enter the cell, only to be grabbed by a large creature about twice your size. It has tentacle like appendages on its face, piercing red eyes and bronze armor covering its body.

[???]: It was unwise to come here without a weapon.

The large alien has a deep, yet feminine voice.

>"Hey, I'm on your side! We're here to get you out of this place."

[Wade]: I'm guessing you're Myaxx?

You practically have to squeeze the words out since she's got your torso in a vice grip. She simply narrows her eyes at you in response. Well maybe you can make her talk by showing her your watch.

You raise your left arm and show her the Omnitrix, and her eyes widen considerably. She seems taken aback.

[???]: No...that's impossible.

[Wade]: Hey Trixy, scan for Chimera Sui Generis.

[Trixy]: There happens to be one in very close proximity to your current location.

Trixy seems lie she went back to normal. Her previous outbursts were interesting though.

[Wade]: Thanks. So you are Myaxx. I heard you helped make the watch.

[Myaxx]: I did, but not that one. The one you have is a newer model, and it certainly looks like Azmuth made. How do you have it? Azmuth would never entrust an Omnitrix to a human.

[Wade]: An old lady threw it at me and it nearly killed me. Wait, there's more than one?

[Myaxx]: There was a prototype. I replaced Azmuth's genetic signature with my own, and he banished me for it. To think he simply made another one without me. Selfish old frog...

[Wade]: This is all very interesting, but can you put me down now?

She releases you, causing you to fall to the ground. She could have at least placed you down gently.

[Kevin]: Uh, guys? I think we better continue this conversation on the ship.

[Myaxx]: You're breaking me out?

[Wade]: Yeah, but you can celebrate later. Right now we need to-

[Myaxx]: I'm not going anywhere without the doctor.

[Argit]: We have a med-bay on the ship. As long as whatever you have isn't contagious.

[Myaxx]: No! I owe her my life! I will not leave without her.

[Argit]: Tough luck lady. You're coming with us or-

Myaxx leans down and stares daggers at Argit, reminding him of just how small he is.

[Myaxx]: Or what?

Argit backs away slowly while holding his hands up defensively. You look to Kevin, silently inquiring if you have the time for a detour. Kevin calls Rad on his com-link in order to get a sit-rep from him.

[Kevin]: Hey Rad, what's your situation looking like. Think we can delay the pickup for a few more minutes?

[Rad]: This better be worth it! I'm up to my neck in hostiles right now!

[Kevin]: Myaxx is being difficult, and she's saying that she won't leave unless we save her friend.

There's a silence over the comms for a moment, then it crackles to life with an electronic click.

[Rad]: You have 5 minutes! After that, I'm leaving whether you're on the ship or not.

He hangs up on Kevin, and you all share the same grim expression as you try to weigh your options.

[Kevin]: The drop-off point's the same. We should get moving.

You look up to Myaxx and motion her to walk in front of you.

[Wade]: Lead the way.

She doesn't move, so you're guessing that she wants you to walk in front of her.

[Wade]: Fine...

You all run into the hallway and start taking directions from Myaxx.

[Argit]: I swear you guys are gonna get me killed!

(Continued in Next Post)

Now that you've got the time, you can ask Myaxx a few questions.

>"So, why's this doctor so important?"
>"You were talking about a prototype Omnitrix earlier. What ever happened to it?"
>"Why did Azmuth send you to prison for messing with the watch. He probably could've easily fixed it."
>"Do you have any idea where Azmuth might be?"
>"You look a lot like the guy my Grandpa said he killed."
>Write-in.

[Wade]: Do you have any idea where Azmuth might be?

[Myaxx]: Not a clue. He has a secret lab on Xenon, but he might've moved already.

[Wade]: Do you think the lab is still there? Maybe we can find a clue if we look there.

[Myaxx]: Maybe...but don't get your hopes up. If Azmuth doesn't want to be found, then he won't be found.

She's a very pessimistic person. But being imprisoned with some of the toughest criminals in the galaxy will do that to you.

[Wade]: You were talking about a prototype Omnitrix earlier. What ever happened to it?

[Myaxx]: We sealed it in an impenetrable vault and shipped it off to a planet that we use to hoard our most dangerous creations. It is heavily guarded and closely monitored. Hopefully it's still there.

[Wade]: Why would you do that? Just destroy it if it's too dangerous to be used.

[Myaxx]: That would be a waste of time and technology. Besides, Galvan take pride in all of their great creations and make sure add it to their portfolios. Any creation that they are ashamed of are omitted to avoid sullying their name. Azmuth had...quite a few creations to omit in his lifetime.

You personally don't get the point of hording dangerous weapons on vulnerable planet, but you aren't a Galvan.

[Wade]: What was the prototype like?

[Myaxx]: Greatly inferior in concept and design to the one currently in your possession. It was prone to malfunctioning and timing out at inopportune moments. I'm assuming these problems have been fixed in the newer model.

[Wade]: Uh...no it still does all of that.

Myaxx runs her hand down her face and scoffs.

[Myaxx]: Unbelievable...

[Wade]: So, why's this doctor so important?

[Myaxx]: She was the head scientist of the Mutant Regenesis Project. She created the one known as "D'Traxus", among other creatures. I believe that she may know how to defeat him.

Your heart sinks into your stomach, and you nearly stop moving after hearing that your...creator is here. Myaxx notices your silence, but decides to ignore it for now.

Eventually you reach the doctor's cell, but it looks more like a maximum security vault.

[Kevin]: We don't have time to crack this thing.

Myaxx pushes Kevin aside and tries to get a grip on the vault door.

[Myaxx]: Watch boy, help me with this.

You nod and open up your Omnitrix.

You try to transform into Knuckle Duster, but end up becoming something entirely different! You muscles become larger, wings sprout out from your elbows, and you can feel your bone structure changing drastically. When you open your eyes, you realize that you have four of them! You're covered in blue fur, and you have yellow skin underneath it.

[Wade]: Whoa, who's this guy!

Wait, is that your voice?! It's so deep and gravely, as if you were trying to be edgy on purpose. It doesn't even strain your throat, you're just doing it naturally.

[Myaxx]: What're you waiting for? Get over here!

[Wade]: Hold up! I need to get used to this alien.

You grip the edges of the vault and begin pulling. But it is very difficult with your hands sweating so much. Suddenly, an explosive blast is released by your hands! As if a grenade had blown up in your hands. Or maybe...your hands are the grenades! You point your hands toward the vault and release a large explosion that blows the vault door off its hinges.

[Wade]: This guys is pretty cool. Think I'll call him..."Bat-a-Boom"!

[Kevin]: Clever.

[Myaxx]: Yes yes, it's all very impressive. Hopefully you didn't kill her with that blast.

Myaxx pushes you aside and walks in ahead of you. As she inspects the area, she finds a green woman wearing a white hazmat suit with black goggles. That must be her.

[Inspector 10]: Myaxx. I wasn't expecting you so soon. Who are your friends?

[Myaxx]: They're not my friends, but they've agreed to get us out of here.

[Inspector 10]: Wonderful. I will grab my things.

The doctor grabs a toothbrush and stores it in a compartment in her suit. She then walks out ahead of Myaxx. She turns to look at you, and you try your hardest not to glare at her.

[Inspector 10]: And you even brought a Volm Chiropteran to break me out. I never knew we had one here.

She reaches up to pat your head. It kinda pisses you off for some reason.

>Stay silent for now. Talking now would waste what little time you have left. Just focus on getting out of here.
>"You're the one that made D'Traxus?"
>"You deserve to be in here."

You don't say anything in response. You simply utter a deep guttural growl and walk away from her.

[Inspector 10]: Feisty. I like this one.

You and the rest of the team walk in silence as you walk down the hallway. Your mind is racing, and you can't think of what you want to ask the doctor first. She isn't as...evil as you thought she'd be. You were expecting more of a mad scientist to be honest.

Suddenly, the wall to the left of you rapidly heats up and explodes! You're all blinded by a thick black smoke, and the only thing you see is a bright flickering light in front of you. As you wave way some smoke, you see an alien that looks to be made of molten rock. Kinda like the guy you fought a while back, but slimmer. And behind him are several other aliens, one being a rhino and the other being some sort of fish creature with big teeth.

[Argit]: Null Void Prisoners!

[Wade]: Get out of here! I'll handle this.

The fire-alien shoots a jet of flame at you, and the others charge toward you.

You disperse the jet of flame with a concentrated explosion, while Kevin absorbs some nearby metal and charges to intercept the rhino. He seems to be holding him back for now, but he's having trouble handling the weight of the creature.

You look back to see the rest of your team running down the hall, but your attention is drawn back to your attackers by a shrill shriek from the fish man.


The fish alien begins swiping at you relentlessly, but you manage to dodge each one of his swipes. You look behind him and see that the fire alien is revving up to shoot some fireballs at you.
