N'awww, this was a cute little scene. |D

>//w//< D'awwwww so cute!

This is quite a surprise. owo Thanks. >w<

You're quite welcome ^w^

Mugz: O//_//O ...

Pepper: *pushing Mugz towards Karin* C'mon Mugz, you know what they say: "nothing ventured, nothing gained" ^w^

Karin: Hi There, Mugz. :3 What'cha wanna talk about?

Mugz: I...K-K-Karin-chan...w-would you...th-that is... *heartbeats loud enough for all to hear*

Pepper: Go on, tell her, buddy. ^w^

Karin: *her ears are close to his chest* Wowzers, Your heart is louder then an egg beater. o3o;

Mugz: O///O; KARiN, I LiKE YOU! PLEASE GO OUT WiTH ME! *passes out and falls back into Pepper's arms*

Pepper: I got you, buddy *steadies Mugz so that he doesn't fall*

Karin: O///O Oh! ...... Is he okay? .w.;

Pepper: Yeah, he'll be fine in a few moments. This happens from time to time whenever he gets very nervous.

*Pepper notices that the three of them are really close to the park so carries Mugz on his back while Karin follows them. He sits Mugz underneath a shaded tree before he again turns his attention to Karin.*

Pepper: It'll be a few minutes before he wakes up. I can answer any questions you may have at the moment.

Karin: Okay. :3 ...Why he's all blushy like a cherry, does he likes me? >w< *acting coy*

Pepper: Yep. ^^ He saw one of your acts at the circus one day and ever since then he's been a fan. He's seen you around several times after that and has wanted to get to know you better, but as you might've guessed, Mugz can be incredibly shy at times.

Karin: ^//w//^ Awww, that's so sweet. Well, I won't disappoint. I'll stick around, and chat with him till he's up.

Pepper: That's nice. ^^

*A few minutes later Mugz opens his eyes, looks to his right and sees Pepper.*

Mugz: It...happened again, didn't it? -_-;

Pepper: Yep.

Mugz: Oh...I guess Karin has left already, huh?

Pepper: Nope, she's still here *points over to Karin*

Mugz: *looks over to his left and see Karin* O.O K-Karin-chan...

Karin: OwO ...Yo.

Mugz: H-Hi, Karin-chan; h-how have you been? ^^;

Karin: Fine, all fine. :3 ...I heard your a fan of me, thanks for coming to the circus by the way. ^_^ Wanna see a trick right nowz? owo Do ya, Do Ya?!

Mugz: S-Sure, if you don't mind. ^w^

Karin: *eats a whole apple in one shallow* Ulp!

Mugz: OoO Whoa...Awesome! ^o^ *claps happily*

Pepper: ...is your throat made of rubber or something?

Karin: *points at Mugz's sleeves, and Pepper see a lump on the sleeve* :3

Mugz: OwO

Pepper: Oh, I see; that was pretty cool. ^w^

Karin: Thank You. *bows* -w- Thank You. Nrf.

Mugz: *applauds and blushes* -//w//-

Karin: I got more tricks, like... juggle, Blazing air flips, cracking eggs with my butt cheeks, doing the splits on a motorcycle while flying though a volcano. etc.

Mugz: ...So cool... -//o//-

Pepper: ...how are you able to...? No...I don't think I want to know. <w<;

Mugz: A girl as amazing as you... *looks slightly discouraged* ...must have a ton of admirers, huh?

Karin: .w. Yeah... But that doesn't mean we can't hang out.

Mugz: Okay!

Karin: Great! >w< *hugs him* Let's go and get some Maffles! <w>

Mugz: Yay! ^//w//^

*Mugz and Karin leave the park together.*

Pepper: Way to go, buddy.

*At Waffle House*

Karin: =w= Mmmmmmm-Maffles.

Mugz: These are good, aren't they... -//w//-

Karin: Yeah. :3 Do you want more strawberries?

Mugz: Yes please ^w^ Would you like some blueberry syrup?

Karin: Yessy. Hey, have I told you about Anna-Chan?

Mugz: Anna-Chan? Is she that violet-haired girl I've seen you with from time to time?

Karin: Yes Yes! That Cutie.

Mugz: ....Oh, I remember her now; Annaliese Fellorr, she's Ashuro's girlfriend, right?

Karin: Uh-huh. She also bonded with Clarie, remember her? :)

Mugz: Yes, I remember her too. Pepper and I occasionally work with Ashuro and his friends; the Checkmark Pirates are definitely a lively bunch. ^w^

Karin: Pirates? owo Ooooh!

Mugz: Oh, you didn't know? Before Ashuro and a lot of his friends came to this world they travelled the universe as pirates...at least that's what the galactic government called them. From the stories I've heard from them they were more like adventurers and explorers than true pirates. If I were to compare them they were a lot like the Strawhat Pirates.

Karin: Cool. :3 I wanna be a universe pirate! is it fun?

Mugz: *shrugs his shoulders* I wouldn't know; although my work with Pepper takes me all over the universe I haven't been able to travel it like Ashuro has... *takes a pen and paper and writes some names on it* but you can ask Ashuro, Claire or one of the others I written here *hands the paper to Karin* http://e-shonen.blogspot.com/2011/0.....d09f70fbacf1b5

Karin: owo *writes it* Sure Thing, Mugzzy!

Mugz: Glad to help ^w^

Karin: >w< I can't wait.

*As if on cue, Mugz and Karin see Ashuro walk in with Claire and Annaliese. They call them over to their table and get seated there.*

Ashuro: Nice seeing you two here. ^w^

Claire: Waffles! *drools a bit*

Ashuro: Yeah, apparently if either Claire or Annaliese get a strong enough craving for something they'll both end up craving it; today Claire's craving for waffles won out over Annaliese's craving for pizza. ^^;

Karin: Oh my glob. owo ... O3O I Need not know that!

*While Ashuro make an order to the waiter for Claire and Annaliese, as they hungrily eye Karin's and Mugz's waffles, Karin remembers that she actually had questions to ask Ashuro about his life as a pirate.*

Karin: Hey Ashuro, I heard you got that dimension job, and stuff, and I was wondering that..... Can I join? :3

Ashuro: I don't know anything about a dimension job but if you're asking if you can join us on an adventure some time then yes, by all means join us. ^w^

Karin: Sweet! :3

Ashuro: Just know that the one thing about our adventures is that you never know when they'll start or what'll...

*An explosion happens on the outside of the restaurant that blows a hole open in it.*

Ashuro: O_O; ...I've really got to stop saying that...

Karin: Eeeeh, Wha? Wha?! O3O

*As the smoke clears a light blue wolf man with sinister eyes, a pointed cone-shaped nose and sharp teeth enters. Mugz immediately recognizes the dangerous looking stranger.*

Mugz: O_O Th-th-that's Salty "Dogg" Josiah! But what is he doing here?! Pepper said that he was arrested by the galactic police a few weeks ago!

Salty: *looks over in their direction then grins evilly* ...target acquired.

Karin: Yikes! O.O; Who is this scary stud?

Mugz: Somebody that we need to keep away from at all costs. C'mon, we need to get out of here! *takes Karin and Annaliese by the hand and tries to lead them out the back exit*

Salty: Not so fast, squirt! *dashes at sonic speed towards Mugz and Karin*

Ashuro: O_O He's fast! *gets up and tries to intercept Salty*

Salty: *grins evilly as he pulls out a small device that looks like a taser* Stun! *shoves the device into Ashuro as it delivers thousands of volts of Lightning E-nergy into his body*

Ashuro: KiYAiEEE!! *falls to the ground stunned*

Claire: Ashuro! *gets up and charges Salty*

Salty: *intercepts Claire's attack, flipping her over his shoulder and onto the ground where he proceeds to also use the taser-like device to shock her as well*

Claire: AHHHHH!! *passes out*

Salty: Oh no you don't! *uses his speed to catch up to Mugz, Karin and Annaliese and cut them off from the exit* Where do you think you're going?

Mugz: Darn it! >_<

Annaliese: ASHURO, C-CLARIE!! D8 .... ;^; Please don't hurt them anymore!

Karin: *charge up her fire fist* Harm them, or you got your self a tangle! >:I

Mugz: *activates his Wing Pack and makes it shoot to taser prongs into Salty that deliver a powerful shock to his system* quick, get out of here! He absorbs powers and energy from others!

Salty: *struggles as he pulls the taser prongs out of his body* sorry, but I don't have that power anymore thanks to him...but he DiD give me a wide assortment of new abilities, such as... *forcefully pulls Mugz towards him then shoves his right palm into his stomach* Quake! *causes a strong shock wave to course through Mugz's body, causing him a great deal of pain and to fall to the ground unable to move*

Mugz: ...ow...

Salty: *turns his attention back to Karin and Annaliese* I've been instructed not to kill you so come along quietly and I promise I won't rough you up too much. >:D

Karin: Why should we?

Annaliese: ;^; ...I have no choice... *pulls out a pokeball*

Salty: ! *speedily shoves his right hand into Annaliese's stomach* Quake!

*Salty causes a strong shock wave to course through Annaliese's body, causing her a great deal of pain and to fall to the ground and drop her Poke Ball, unable to move.*

Annaliese: GAAAAH!! QAQ; ...*fell to the ground, and sobbing in pain* TAT

Karin: ANNA-CHAN! D: .... *Karin's berserk button been triggered, and attacks Salty by smacking him in the face 4 times, and kick him in the gut with a burning kick* Don't Ever Touch My Anna-Chan, Bub!!!! D8<

Salty: *regains his balance* seems like this one has powers too. It's not the kind of power that he's looking for but I'm sure that he won't mind me taking it for myself... *pushes a button on the taser that causes two claws made of E-nergy to pop out of it*

Mugz: ...n-no... *grabs Salty's left leg* K-Karin, don't fight him; j-just take Annaliese and r-run...

Salty: *looks down at Mugz* so you still had some fight left in you, eh? *powerfully kicks Mugz to the other side of the restaurant where he crashes into the wall*

Mugz: Ugh...

Salty: *turns his attention back to Karin* last chance to surrender before I get serious...

Karin: Okay. *picks up Annaliese* I'll come back to get you guys, I gotta take Anna-Chan to a safe area! O.O ...And I'm coming back for you, Salty! >:I

Salty: *grins evilly* Wrong answer!

*Salty quickly closes the gap between him and Karin then speedily jabs the two E-nergy claws emitting from the taser into her chest. To Karin's surprise, the stab didn't break the skin or make her bleed. When Salty pulls the taser out she sees that the claws have hooked into what looks like an orb of fire connected by a very long string of small white pearls. The moment Salty severs the string of white pearls connecting to Karin, she immediately feels incredibly weak and falls to the ground. She tries to create fire but to no use; it was if her flames had been internally extinguished.*

Salty: Fire powers, eh? But what's with these pearls connected to it...? Eh, I'll worry about that later. But for now, nighty-night!

*Salty speedily karate chops Karin on the side of her neck, knocking her unconscious. He then picks up Karin, Annaliese and Claire then takes them all outside where he summons his ship that beams them all aboard. By the time Ashuro and Mugz recover from Salty's attack seconds later, he and the girls are long gone, having taken off to somewhere unknown. The two of them make their way out of the restaurant to try and see where Salty might've flown off to. However, before they managed to get far some familiar faces meet up with them: Marius, e-chan, Elska and Sarna. Apparently, Marius and e-chan had a run-in with Salty a bit earlier before Ashuro and Mugz...and like them, somebody precious to them was taken by him; they learn that Salty had also abducted Aluma, Lalao and Angel.*

Ashuro: I can't believe I let my guard down like that! I'm going to destroy that pointy-nosed creep for hurting my Annaliese! >o<

Mugz: Karin-chan... I couldn't do anything to save her... T_T

Marius: I can sense him, where is he now?!

Elska: Marius, i'm upset too, but Calm down, we'll find that creep!

Sarna: How Dare he took our sisters! D8<

Marius: *helps both Ashuro, and Mugz up* ...Yup, he just came here alright... I hope he didn't beat you guys up too bad... :<

Ashuro: He caught me off guard with that taser thing of his but Mugz here got the worse of it.

Mugz: I'll live; I'm just worried about Karin...

e-chan: ...I'll save you, Lalao...somehow...

*Marius senses two very powerful energies approaching them. He gets into a fighting stance ready to take on whoever showed up but to his surprise he soon sees that it's just a very enraged Rocko and e-kun followed by e-sama.*

Rocko: WHERE iS HE!?

e-kun: LET ME AT 'iM! LET ME AT 'iM!!

e-sama: ... *trying to keep calm but is visibly upset as well*

Marius: Mugz... You knew him, right? do you know where's that bastard would be at??

Sarna: *Notice a dropped pokeball* Eh? a Pokeball? *picks it up, and toss it*

Aria: *pops out* Hello, Mast--! :D .....Oh. H-h-hello, Sarna Yakaru... ^^ Where is my master, Annaliese?

Marius: Uhhh, Aria... I hate to be the deliver of bad news, but... Annaliese just been kidnapped by a creep, named, Salty.

Aria: WHAAAAT???!!! D8> *panicing* Where is she?? Maaaster!!! ;^;

Marius: Aria? ...Aria!

Aria: *sobbibg* Maaaster---!

Marius: *slap her* Aria, listen! ...sorry.. But don't panic, unless we get some answers, we'll soon find the others....

Aria: Okay.... ;^;

Marius: So, Mugz... what would Salty be at?

Mugz: I have no idea; he was in his ship so he could be anywhere in space right now so tracking him will be difficult.

Ashuro: Rocko, what's up with you three?

Rocko: Some sky blue pointy-nosed wolf crashed my date, pinched a nerve cluster in my neck that rendered me unable to move and then took my sweet Maggie away on a spaceship! >_<

e-kun: The same guy busted into the ice cream shoppe and started messing the place up! When Dust Man and I tried to get him out of the shoppe he overwhelmed both us with his speed and beat us down hard then capture Roxie and flew away in his spaceship! >_<

e-sama: He attacked me from behind with that taser-thing and kidnapped Samantha when I was unable to do anything.

Ashuro: This guy has been busy, hasn't he?

Marius: God knows what he'll be doing to them, and don't wanna know... But for some reason, he didn't took Oceana... ._. Thank goodness, tho...

Sarna: Which direction that ship is going?

Aria: Like a clue...

*a lighting zapped to the distance, until Rocko remembered that Maggie probably has the tracker panties on*

Aria: AAAH! Lighting! Scary! ;0;

Rocko: Wait! *takes out his phone and activates the tracker* ...darn it, out of range...you said that he's in space, right? Ashuro, how fast will it take you to get the ship?

Mugz: Actually I have a ship that can get us out into space, but I highly suggest that we make a plan of some sort before we try to storm Salty's ship.

Marius: Plan, eh? ...Well he can do a copy ability, right? >w> ...I Think I have an Idea.

Mugz: To tell you the truth I'm not sure what he can do anymore; he may very well have a copy ability that he hasn't shown us...

*Meanwhile, deep in space aboard Salty's spaceship, his captives: Aluma, Angel, Lalao, Annaliese, Claire, Karin, Maggie, Roxie and Samantha were in a large cell sealed by a forcefield. Claire and Annaliese soon awaken and see Aluma, Lalao, Maggie and Roxie sitting down watching Angel as she furiously pounded away at the forcefield in her Were-Nekofi form. Annaliese looks off into the corner and sees Karin and Samantha together. Karin was lying down using Samantha's lap as a pillow; she looked and felt very weak since her encounter with Salty.*

Annaliese: K-karin....? C-Claire? ....Can you hear me, please say something... T.T

Claire: I'm right here, Anna-chan. It looks like we weren't the only ones targeted by that pointy-nosed creep.

Angel: *pounding away at the forcefield* ARGH! >O<

Annaliese: What does he want from us?

Karin: Zzzz-- Huh? o3o; ....Oh, Darn, I thought it was a bad dream...! DX .... >3<; Grrr, That guy is such a jerk!

Annaliese: ;^; Karin?

Karin: Anna-Chan! oAo; .... QAQ That creep haven't hurt you again while I was asleep, did he?!

Annaliese: ...N-No.. ;^; ...

Angel: *delivers one more powerful punch to the force field then stops, panting and out of breath* no good *panting* I can't bust it...

*Salty appears before everybody on the other side of the force field.*

Salty: I was hoping that you'd run out of steam soon; that banging was getting annoying.

Karin: Hey! Heeey, Salty! Why did you got us for??! >:I ...What are you up too, you doo doo brain!

Salty: Why did I bring you here? I guess I can tell you that...right after I introduce you to your new cellmate ^^

*Salty steps aside to reveal that another girl was standing behind him. She was a chubby Nekofi girl with a large puffy white and violet tail, sky blue hair and two differently colored eyes. The force field drops for an instant as the girl is shoved inside the cell with the others as the force field instantly goes back up again. Karin walks over to the girl and helps her to her feet.*

Karin: Whoa! ...You okay, girl. D:

Caramel: Y-Yes, I'm fine. OoO Oh, y-you must be Karin; Mugz speaks very highly of you all of the time... .///.

Karin: Yes, i'm Karin. ...Nice to meet ya. ^^ ...But Maaaan, sure is a bummer that we have to meet in here. >3<;

Caramel: Yes. I was in the middle of making a delivery too *whines* my boss is gonna yell at me again... T~T

Annaliese: That's Terrible. :<

Samantha: I can relate....

Karin: But that jerk didn't gave me a reply... <3<#

Salty: Oh, right, that. Well, it's not so much that I'm interested in you all personally; I just needed something that would get your boyfriends, husbands or whatever you call them to do as I say. My new employer has need for their abilities and would like to make them his own; my job is to get them all in one place so that I can extract their powers and talents and present them to my boss.

Karin: And Who is your Boss, Huh? <3<;

Salty: Him? Oh, you'll know about him soon enough; he's got nothing but total conquest on the mind.

Annaliese: P-Pyro? :<

Salty: Nope. This guy... *shivers* makes Pyro seem like nothing in comparison.

Annaliese: D: .....i'm scared...

Salty: Yeah, you should be scared. Heck, I'm scared, terrified even. This guy quite literally holds my life force in his hand; I have no choice but to do what he says if I want to keep living.

Annaliese: :'(

Lalao: Oh yeah? where is big, tall, and scary? >:/

Salty: He'll be showing up once I've confirmed that your men have been safely secured.

Aluma: *tries to hack the system* :<

Salty: I wouldn't try it, lady. This ship may be ancient in age but its technology is far more advanced than anything that we have in this day and age; that's why I chose it as my personal ship.

Caramel: Ex-excuse me, Mr. Salty sir? You explained why you captured these girls but that doesn't exactly explain why you captured me. I still relatively new to this timeline and I don't have a boyfriend with special powers or abilities...

Salty: Oh that? You're going to be my new bride~ >w<

Caramel: O_O;

Aluma: Huh? D:

All: What??

Salty: Well, now that I'm out of the running for the Mitoian Princess Cherry's hand in marriage and my plan to take her kingdom by force has been thwarted by that do-gooder Cosmic Man I've decided to go after my secondary ideal girl. If I can't have one that is cute and busty, I'll take one that is cute and chunky.

*All of the girls, except for Caramel who still looks horrified, look on at Salty in disgust.*

Salty: Judge all you want, I don't care; I'm a pirate so I'll take what I want when I want it.

Caramel: O~O; *gulps then hides behind Karin*

Claire: You call yourself a pirate? You're not even close to half the pirate Ashuro is! Don't think you've won just because you beat him in the initial fight you had; when he gets here those little tricks of yours won't save you in the least, especially since he has the others with him as well. You may not think it but you've made some very powerful enemies today. -w-

Annaliese: Yes! :D That's Right! Hahahaha~ ^^

Salty: Oh, I doubt that I'll meet with much resistance when they get here. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go and send my message to your men *leaves to the upper levels*

Annaliese: ( Please Everyone, Please make it... ) <:(

*Noise can be heard coming from an air vent in the ceiling; everybody looks up as the rattling noise gets closer.*

Karin: Whatzzat? O_O

*The noise stops directly at the air vent. After a sudden loud bang the air vent falls from the ceiling along with a person that falls flat on their face. Going over to inspect the mysterious individual they see that it is a young Fox-HI girl with a side ponytail, wearing a school uniform and boots. The young girl soon comes to her senses and looks up to see Karin looking directly at her.*

Young Fox-HI girl: O.O *gasps*

Karin: O3O Oo! Oo! Fellow Fox-Hi, try and get us outta here!

Annaliese: Who is she? she almost look like a smaller Karin! o0o

Young Fox-HI girl: It's-it's you, it really is you; Mommy! *glomps Karin with a warm hug*

Karin: Yes, its me, Karin---! Wait, WHAT?! O3o;

Annaliese: Did she just called you mommy? OAO;

Karin: She Did! D:

Annaliese: You have a daughter, Karin, Why you didn't tell me?! O3O;

Karin: owo; I just, don't know! I don't remember making "whoopie cooshings" with a man before, but me and Micheal sure did that once, buuuut... he didn't shot inside me, if you know what I mean! O3O

Lalao: Um... TMI? ^^;

Karin: ...Hey, errr, Kiddo, Why did you called me Mommy? ^//^;;

Annaliese: ;w; Awww~

Potpourri: My name is Potpourri; I'm your daughter from the future. ^o^

Karin: D8 .....My Mind is blown!

Lalao: Karin, As a mother? That's truly shocking. ._.;

Karin: ... ;w; and... just...w-wowzers... I'm a mom! ...Gosh... just.. I don't know what to say! owo

Annaliese: Me Too! ...I wonder what's my kids are like? o_o

Samantha: ^//^ Mine's Too... Excuse me, Potpourri, Can you help us escape?

Potpourri: Of course, that's why I'm here. In order to drop the force field you need either Salty's passcode...or one of these in the right hands *pulls out a small device and hands it to Aluma* that's a hacking device made by my friend Mimi; she should show up soon and tell you what you need to do with it since I've already forgotten everything she told me. ^^;

Aluma: Okay, I've Got It. Thank You.

Karin: Mimi? You mean My Simipour? o3o

Potpourri: No, actually she's...

???: So you made it inside without getting caught; good job, Potpourri. ^^

*Everybody looks over to the force field and see another young standing on the other side. She looked remarkably just like a kid version of Maggie who had whiskers and was wearing a pair of goggles on her head.*

Potpourri: There she is; there's Mimi! :D

Mimi: Salutations, everybody~ :D

Maggie: Lemme guess... .___o; My... My...!!?

Karin: Yup, I think that's your kid. .w.

Maggie: Holy Crap, She got my beautiful face. QwQ ...This is insane...!

Annaliese: Oh, T-Tell me, Where's my child? OuO *excited* Who he or she looks like? Please tell me!

Mimi: I'll tell you about them but not right now. Right now, I need to get you all out of here before Salty comes back. Mrs. Aluma, would you place that device that Potpourri gave you next to that panel there?

Aluma: Mm-hm. *does so*

Mimi: Good *places another device next to the outside panel* Okay, now to supply it with some of my power to activate it *places her hand on the device and sends an electric surge into it causing the devices to activate which makes the circuits to the force field overload and burst, making the force field drop* and with that you're all free~ ^^

All: :D

Lalao: Freedom!! ;w;

Maggie: And I got a very smart daughter, i'm so proud! ^//^

Karin: Whoo~ You Kids are Made of Awesomes! >w<

Annaliese: Thank You. ^^

Samantha: Thanks a lot. ^_^

Aluma: Thank You for the help. ^A^

Claire: Woo-hoo! ^o^

Mimi: Follow me; the others and I have secured a safe spot for us all to plan out our next move and talk. Salty will have no idea where we are since all of his cameras have been broken and his auto-repair feature disabled.

Annaliese: Got it.

*Mimi and Potpourri lead the girls down to a rather spacious storage hangar where there were some other kids waiting for them there. There was a boy who dressed similar to e-sama, a light-skinned Suku boy with black spiky hair, a dark-skinned Suku girl with red spiky hair, a little girl wearing a yellow and black striped dress, a violet-haired catboy with two differently coloured eyes and a catgirl with ribbons in her hair.*

Potpourri: We're back~ ^o^

Mimi: Let me introduce you to some of our friends: Samuel, Marius Jr., Haruka, Cookie, Tsubasa and Rumme.

Samuel and Tsubasa: H-Hello *bows*

Haruka and Cookie: Hi~ ^o^

All: Hello. o.o

Lalao: You know she looks like me...when I'm younger... A Smaller me. ._. *points at Haruka*

Samantha: ....That's my Child! ;w; *looks at Samuel, and hugs him tight*

Karin: This is sooo cool~ ^_^

Annaliese: Hey... That's my Child alright! ;w; ...He got my face, and my hair on top! *slowly walks too him* Hello Tsubasa...! ;w;

Aluma: Hello. ^o^ *slither her tongue* ....*and looks at Marius Jr* OAO Its my....child.... ;w; ...My dream of having a family did came true!

Marius Jr: Mom! O_O Wow... You still look the same, beautiful. ^_^

Aluma: TTwTT ..Th-Thank you, my son... ...Oh Marius is not going to believe this.....

Marius Jr: Wh-Where's my Dad? >.>;

Haruka: *giggles* it's only natural that I look a bit like you when I'm you're kid, Mama~ ;p *hugs Lalao*

Samuel: We're going to get you all out of here safely, Mom; I promise.

Tsubasa: Ah, Mother, you appear to be well; that awful wolfman didn't hurt you, did he?

Cookie: *rushes over to Roxie hugs her* Mommy~! *notices that Roxie's outfit is a bit dirty* oh my goodness, your outfit! That revolting pirate left you in an unclean room, didn't he?! Don't worry, I've got some wipes and hand sanitizer here somewhere... *goes to look for her bag*

Potpourri: Sorry Rumme, your Mom isn't here; it looks like he hasn't captured her just yet.

Lalao: OwO ....Holy Cow.... *hugs her* G-g-gosh. .w.

Annaliese: He kinda did. :<

Samantha: ^//^ That's Splendid to hear...

Roxie: >//x//<; You don't know how much I want to cobbler that jerk for getting me dirty!! AARRRG!!!! >//X//<#

Rumme: >3> Poo~

Tsubasa: I'll make sure to personally KO him then. >_<

Potpourri: We can't harm him yet; not until we find what he took from my Mommy and get it back from him!

*Karin vaguely remembers when Salty stabbed her with that device of his and seemed to pull something out of her and not feeling like herself since then.*

Annaliese: You got your daddy's strong sense of justice! O.O

Karin: Yeah, True... That guy is so cheap. >~<; ...Heck, I don't feel right ever since he KO'd me.

Annaliese: ... *worries* :<

Potpourri: You still haven't been able to make your flames since then, right?

*Karin tries to make her flames again but is unable to; it was as if her fire was non-existent.*

Potpourri: It's just as Daddy told me; that dirty rotten pirate stole your fire powers from you...and that's not the worse part either...

Karin: "gasp" What? oAo;

Potpourri: According to what Daddy told me, when that pirate took your fire powers, the power of the device he used to do so was turned up so high that it took something else: some pearl-like objects were attached to your fire powers.

*Thinking back, Karin did remember seeing some pearls attached to the ball of fire that Salty pulled out of her chest.*

Potpourri: Those pearls...they were years of your lifespan! When that pirate took your fire powers he took all but a few years of your life away with it! If we don't get your powers back before he has them put into him you'll only have about 11 or 12 years tops left to live; I want a future with my Mommy! ToT *clings to Karin*

Karin: O_O; Oh Shoot... But i'm too snuggly to die. ;~;

Annaliese: WHAT?! D8> ....We got to get it NOW! >0<;

Aluma: Yes, We do, but How? :<

Mimi: Well, we can't take Salty on directly; to get your powers back we'll need something to occupy his attention so that we can search his personal quarters.

Cookie: But what can we do to distract him for that long?

Samuel: Well, the second half of our team should be making contact with our Dads by now; if anybody has what it takes to take on Salty, it's them. ^^

Aluma: I hope they get here soon... :< Oh, Marius....

*Meanwhile, back on Earth with Marius and the others...*

Ashuro: *looks up at the sky* ...hey, something's coming...

*A small robotic drone flies down from the sky and lands on the ground next to all of the guys. The drone's eyes light up and shoots a beam of light forward to reveal a holographic projection of none other than Salty.*

Salty: Ah, looks like you're all together in one place; good, now I won't have to repeat the same message more than once.

Marius: ...Why did you took Aluma, and the rest of the girls? >:(

Elska: Okay Salty, What are you planing, You creep!?

Aria: T0T You better not Torture Master!

Salty: Relax, relax; I haven't done anything to them nor do I desire to do anything to them...provided the rest of you follow the following instructions as given. My capturing these girls was to make sure that I got your undivided attention. Now that I have it I'll let you know what's going on. My new "employer" has great interest in you all; he wishes to make your various talents, gifts and powers his as he prepares his conquest of this world and all other worlds to come.

Marius: Great, now we have another one of those assholes...

Aria: You guys will be sorry! ;0;

Elska: Why would you think we'll give our gifts to that "employer" person?

Salty: Quite simple really: you all have something that he wants and and he has something of yours that you REALLY want to get back. You could try and take them back by force but the consequences for that would be immense. He'll seek you all out one by one, you'll never see or hear him coming. You'll try to fight him but his strength and ability is on a whole other level. Take me for instance, I should still be locked up in a high-security galactic prison; because this guy wanted my own ability for himself he casually entered that place and defeated each and every guard and high-ranking galactic police officer there without any effort whatsoever. I know you guys are strong but this guy is out of you leagues.

Marius: "snort" We've been taken on creeps like that before. I accept.

Elska: Yeah, I don't see how he'll beat us.

Aria: I'll die for Master! ;^;

Marius: But... I'll try anything to save the others, mostly my wife. *tries to call in The Saturn Family* .... come on, please pick up...

Salty: Yeah, we'll see how long that arrogance lasts when you actually meet him. Listen, just go to the park in about an hour; I'll be there to pick up one more person of interest. We'll discuss terms for your loved one's release then.

*The transmission ends as Salty's hologram disappears. Unfortunately, Marius is unable to contact anybody in the Saturn Family since all he got was their voicemails.*

Marius: Hmm, why can't they answer?

Elska: I have no idea, but let's head to the park.

Aria: Okay.

Marius: hmph, Fine...

???: Actually, before you do go there, will you hear us out?

*The group looks up to see a group of kids standing before them. There was one boy who looked like a miniature version of e-chan, a girl who looked like a miniature version of Roxie, a catgirl with two differently colored eyes and a large fluffy tail, a dark-skinned girl with black and yellow hair wearing ninja garb, a dark-skinned girl with beautiful green eyes wearing a pink top and orange shorts and a cute slime girl who had her hair in pigtails.*

e-chan Jr.: Hi, my name is e-chan and this is my friend, Nougat, and my cousins, Cream, Anna, Megumi and Sea-na.

e-chan: O_o

Nougat: Hi~ ^///^

Cream: Nice to meet 'cha!

Marius: O_O; ....Did that kid just said he was e-chan?

Anna: Daddy! OwO *glomps*

Marius: D-Daddy? ._.; ...What?

Anna: owo Hey, You don't have your mustache yet.

Marius: .~.; ...Can someone please explain to me, what's going on?

Anna: O3o; Oh, Sorry..! I almost forgot to mention. We're from the future! ^_^ I'm your daughter, Anna Dixon!

Elska: WHAT?! D8 ....Holy shit, You and Aluma did do it at some point. ;3

Marius: O//_//o; ...Aluma is your mommy, right?

Anna: Yes, Silly! >w<

Marius: @w@; Holy Crap Cakes, and Rice....

Sea-na: My Mommy is Oceana.... Um, Hi Daddy. :<

Marius: O////o; This is happening too fast... Whoa~ my mind is blown here...

Anna: Um, Daddy... Your feeling okay?

Marius: I...I am, its just.... Wow, My children is here... ._. ..Hey, Do I have a son?

Anna: My Brother is finding our Mommy. He's there by now, I think.

Marius: Is his name, Marius Jr?

Anna: Yeah. o3o

Marius: Yes! >w<

Cream: Hey, Daddy-O~

e-kun: O_O Who, me?

Cream: Yup, my sister should be with Mom right now; we came to help you all.

e-kun: ...YES! She DOES say "yes" when I ask her! *raises his fists in triumph*

e-sama: ...do...do I have a child as well?

Cream: You sure do, Uncle e-sama; he should be with Auntie Samantha right about now if their mission was successful. ^w^

e-sama: I have a son...this is truly a happy day.

e-chan Jr.: Uncle Marius, Megumi here is your daughter too. ^^

Marius: Hehe, That's Me and Angel, alright... :3 Hey, Megumi! ^^

(Are you doing Megumi's dialogue or am I?)

( I think you should. ^^ )

(Okay)

Megumi: Hey, Pops; you ready to save Mom and the others? Then listen to the plan e-chan cooked up. ^^

*Everybody looks over to e-chan.*

e-chan: I...think she means...my boy over here. ^^; Never thought that I of all people would be a father...

e-chan Jr.: Yes, I've got a plan to get the drop on Salty.

Marius: Tell Us, Sport.

e-chan Jr.: We'll surprise Salty with some warp tactics using these *hands Marius a blank card*

e-chan: Hey, those look similar to my...

e-chan Jr.: They are, Dad. They are one of my variations of your "Switch" technique. You write your full names on them so that they are set to you personally. Once you do that give the cards back to me and we'll use ones that are set to us and we'll be able to warp back to where the others are. In the meantime, you'll meet with Salty and allow him to imprison you. Once he goes to check on the prison where he last saw the others we'll warp you all to where we are, reuniting you all with everyone. From there we'll have the element of surprise and should be able to fight our way out. What do you think about that? ^w^

Marius: I Like It, Lil Dude!

Elska: Anything to save my baby sisters. ^w^ Thanks. *pat his back*

Aria: This has to work! OwO

Megumi: Then lets do this! ^o^

*Everybody heads to the north entrance of the park and see Salty's massive ship parked in the middle facing the north entrance. The kids then break off from the main group and head to the south entrance so that they could get in position for the next part of their plan. Ashuro, Marius and the others walk through the north entrance and up to the ship where they see Salty waiting for them and he wasn't alone. He had another hostage with him: the catgirl Ayaka Jineii.*

Marius: (Aw Nuts, He got Ayaka....) >:I

Aria: *whispers* What now? :<

Ashuro: *whispers to Aria* we believe in the kids to succeed with their plan to save everybody.

Aria: Okay. :<

---

Anna: If There's something that my dad taught me is that I can use shadows to block any cameras so we can sneak more better...

Sea-na: A-And I can go though cracks...

Cream: Good to know.

e-chan Jr.: Hopefully Mimi was able to take care of the cameras.

Nougat: *tries to open the rear ship door but is unable to* its locked...

e-chan Jr.: *inspects the door then pushes it a bit* it's not locked but something seems to be blocking it. Sea-na, we'll all push the door in as far as we can but we'll need you to squeeze through and remove whatever is blocking the door. Are you ready?

Sea-na: O-Okay... *turn into water, and goes though the crack, but left her dress behind* I'm In...!

Megumi: Great; now just move what's blocking the door out of the way so that we can get in.

Sea-na: *pull it away* Nnngh! >//x//<;

*After clearing the blockage the door easily opens.*

Megumi: Way to go, sis ^^ *hands Sea-na her dress*

Sea-na: Uh, Thanks. ^//^ *puts it back on*

Anna: Let's not drag our feet! Heh, Let's Go!

Sea-na: ...Wait up.. :<

*The kids enter the ship and then e-chan Jr. activates their set of warp card to warp them to where the others and their mothers were.*

e-chan: We're back ^o^

Megumi: Yo~ ;)

*The girls are surprised by the sudden appearance of the six additional kids.*

Aluma: OAO "gasp" Huh?!

Marius Jr: You made it! owo

Aluma: ;w; ....Is That m-m-m-my--?

Anna: Mommy!!! QwQ *glomps* >//w//< I'm so glad your safe!

Aluma: ;w; Yes! I'm also glad to know we're going to be a happy family!

Sea-na: Mommy Number 2? O.O

Aluma: This must be Marius and Oceana's Daughter. O.O ....So, She can have kids! OwO Oceana is not going to believe this! Jimmy Jammy!

Anna: and Our other sister is Megumi... Angel's. ^^

Aluma: Awwww~ ^///^ .....But, do Marius have a daughter with Alexa Tullie? o3o

Anna: Her Too. .3.

Aluma: Wow... ._.

Roxie: OAO I have twins! TwT ...Are you two know how to be tidy?

Lalao: My Son? O.O We have Two?! O3O

Annaliese: So Much Children. :D

Angel: OwO Oh my goodness, she's beautiful~ *hugs Megumi and flicks her tail back and forth happily*

Megumi: :D

Cookie and Cream: Yes, Mommy.

Nougat: OoO *walks up to Caramel*

Caramel: Oh, hello little one, who might you be?

Potpourri: Oh, I forgot to tell you, this is my little sister, Nougat. She's you're daughter, Mama Caramel.

Nougat: Hi... .///.

*Karin looks a bit confused by this news.*

Potpourri: Let me explain; Daddy told me that after you died he was very depressed for a long time but Mama Caramel helped him feel better over during that time. Over a two years they grew close and eventually got married and had my sister Nougat here.

Caramel: O///O I...I get married...and have a daughter...?

Aluma: Awwww... ;w;

Roxie: *kiss them both on the forehead* ^//^ Good Girls...

Karin: O_O Wow!

Annaliese: ;^; .......*sobbing abit*

Potpourri: But we're going to change all of that; we're going to get the powers and years of life that rotten Salty took away back to you. Mama is going to live Auntie Annaliese! ^w^

Nougat: ...

Potpourri: e-chan, did you make contact with our Dads?

e-chan Jr.: Sure did; they're just outside and we're ready to move into the next part of the plan.

Potpourri: Yay! ^o^

Annaliese: ;w; I...I Hope So... TwT

Aluma: Things are turning up greatly. ^_^ *claps a bit*

Karin: And Hey, Let's lighting up the mood by singing! owo ....Ooooh~ De Camptown ladies sing dis song, Doo-dah! Doo-dah! De Camptown race track five miles long, Oh! Doo-dah day! I come down dah wid my hat caved in, Doo-dah! Doo-dah! I go back home wid a pocket full of tin, Oh! Doo-dah day!

Aluma: ... *sings along too*

*Soon everyone doing except for Sea-na*

Sea-na: *giggles* ^^;

*Meanwhile, back outside the ship, Salty has noticed that Marius, Ashuro and the others have arrived.*

Salty: So you came; smart choice.

Mugz: Where is Karin-chan? If you've hurt her, so help me I will...

Salty: Relax, shorty; all of them are safe and unharmed...for now.

Marius: Okay, Go on, and tell us your villain speech.

Elska: ...Or Give them back.

Aria: You'll be sorry! >o<#

Salty: The bossman himself will be here shortly so you'll get the answers you seek when he arrives. Now, onto the ship with you all *leads a frightened Ayaka inside the ship*

Ayaka: MYEW!! D8> ....;A; Heeeelp!!

Aria: You leave that cat-girl alone! DX

Salty: I'm taking this one for myself...and now that I think about it, such a rare Pokemon would be quite a nice addition to my collection...

Aria: N-No! Don't touch me! >o<; Or I'll give you such a thrashing!!!

Marius: Aria, Chill for a sec, Remember, This guy can take your ability away!

Salty: Now I won't ask again, into the ship, ALL of you.

*Everybody holds back their urge to retort back to Salty and does as he says. He leads them all to another walled prison deep within the ship and locks away everybody except Ayaka inside. As he's heading back to where he imprisoned the girls he receives a call and stops to take it. Looking through the hacked camera's Mimi sees that everybody is in place and the next part of their plan is ready to begin.*

Mimi: They're here, e-chan, and Salty is nowhere in sight.

e-chan Jr.: Great *takes out the cards with everyone's names on them and scatters them on the ground then puts his hands on the ground to supply E-nergy to them* Switch!

*Instantly, Marius, Ashuro and the others are warped to where everybody else was.*

e-chan Jr.: It worked!

e-chan: Lalao-chan!

e-kun: Roxie-chan!

e-sama: Milady, you're alright ^^

Angel: Marius, my love~ *pounces on Marius*

Ashuro: Anna-chan ^o^ *runs over to Annaliese and embraces her*

Rocko: My sweet Maggie, I was so worried ToT

Mugz: K-Karin, are you okay? *runs over to Karin*

Potpourri and Nougat: Daddy! *glomps Mugz*

Mugz: Huh?? O_o

Marius: Aluma!!! OWO *hugs her* ^////^ Thank God Your Safe!

Aluma: ;w; Marius, Your here! *hugs back* M-Marius, You gotta meet your son!

Marius: *looks at him* Hey Kiddo~ Its your old man...

Marius Jr: Dad!! OwO *hugs him* Wow, you look weird without all that facial hair... you just got a beard. o3o

Marius: Huh, I grew it out.... *snickers* X3

Annaliese: Ashuro!!! QwQ *glomps* Thank Heavens!

Aria: MASTER!!! TAT *glomps her* I Won't let anything happen to you!! *sobbing* TOT

Annaliese: There, There... Its Okay, Aria. ^//^ I'm also glad to see you.

Karin: Mugz! I like you to meet Potpourri! Our Future Daughter! :D Is she cute?

Samantha: e-sama! We're a family! ;w;

Roxie: e-kuuun!!! ^///^

Lalao: e-chan! ....I just had a mind blowing day! OwO;

Karin: Mugz, Did you beat up salty, and get my jewel back?! OwO Pleeeease tell me you did!

Annaliese: Please Do, Cause I don't want Karin to die! ToT

Mugz: Not yet; now that we have the element of surprise we're going to get the drop on Salty and give him what for!

Ashuro: I'm ready for him now; his little tricks won't work a second time.

Claire: Hehehe, that's exactly what I told him. ^w^

Mugz: I promise you, Karin, we'll get back what he took from and get you back to normal *places a fist over his heart*

Mimi: *looking at the camera feed through a surveillance gadget* Well you're about to get your chance; Salty is headed to the prison where he thinks our Moms still are.

e-kun: With so many fighters coming at him at once there is no way he can take all of us on at once.

Marius: We came all this way, and there is no turning back now. >:3

Karin: Yeah! I'll make sure Salty kiss these cheeks! :3 *pats her butt*

Aluma: But, What about his boss? :< ...Are you all sure he's not just a ..."ahem" ...a push over?

Marius: C'mon, Aluma, you know us, We'll always die trying...!

Aluma: I hate the die part. o___O;

e-chan Jr.: We'd better hurry then; we REALLY don't want to be here when his boss arrives.

Potpourri: But what about what the others who got here before us accomplished; shouldn't he be weaker now?

Tsubasa: Not necessarily...

Mimi: Whatever we're going to do we'd better do it now then.

*Meanwhile, Salty leads a frightened Ayaka to the holding cells where he still thinks he has prisoners. When he arrives he sees the prison empty and begins to panic. He tries to access his security cameras to find the missing girls but sees that they're all malfunctioning. Before he realizes what is going on around him, Salty finds himself tackled to the ground by e-chan, separating him from Ayaka and allowing Marius and Rumme to move in and secure Ayaka.*

e-chan: Gotcha you pointy-nosed jerk! >_<

Salty: What!? Get off me, fatty! >_O

Marius: Let's go, kitty! *picks her up*

Ayaka: Myew! OAo

Rumme: We saved ya, Mommy! ^^

Ayaka: Mommy?? Nya? D:

Marius: We'll explain as soon we get our asses out of here! ^^; Oh, and for the record... *Sucker punches Salty* Taste good, Chump?

Rumme: w00t! ^3^

*They both take Ayaka out of here*

Salty: You miserable... *quickly shoots his head forward and jabs the top of e-chan's head with his pointed nose*

e-chan: GAH! *quickly gets off of Salty and places his hand on his head to stop the bleeding*

Salty: *quickly gets to his feet* nobody punches me like that and gets away with it!! *pursues after Marius*

Marius: So far, So Good.. *sense salty coming* O_O; *turns and face him* Ayaka, Get out of here!

Ayaka: Myew...But.. :(

Marius: No Seriously, get a move on!

Rumme: Um... Yolo! >//^//< *stick her leg out, tripping salty in the progress*

Marius: Or we could do that... lol.

Salty: *growls* little brat; now that I think about it, there were kids who got in my way last time too...

*Salty suddenly begins levitating.*

Salty: Wh-Wh-What the heck...!?

*Looking over to where e-chan was everybody saw that he had called out his Braixen, Twig, to use Psychic to restrain Salty midair*

e-chan: Good job, Twig; keep it up! ^^

Twig: Got it! >:3

Mugz: Now's my chance *activates his Wing Pack and flies up to Salty and starts searching through his pockets*

Salty: Hey, get out of my coat, you little shrimp! *struggles, trying to break free from Twig's Psychic*

Mugz: *searching through Salty's coat pockets* ...found it! *takes the flaming orb with pearls attached to it and stores it safely away in his Wing Pack* I got it, Karin! Okay guys, feel free to start the beat down anytime you'd like *flies down and away from Salty*

e-kun: *cracks his knuckles* with pleasure~ >:3

Karin: w00t! Thanks, Baby! *kiss him*

Annaliese: YES! ^0^

Marius: Thanks! ^^ *His fist lite on fire*

Elska: Finally! X3 *pops her neck*

Aria: See, See?! I Told You, You'll be Sorry! XO

Marius: *keeps punching his nose, hard*

Elska: *Does a soaring axe kick* And the crowd goes wild, sugah!

Aria: *Does Close Combat* Hyah! WATAAH! Aaaaatatatatata!!! WATOH! *kicks him in the kisser*

Ayaka: *Use fire claws* "hisssss!"

Aluma: *slap him lightly* Um... Take That. .//^//.;

Marius Jr & Anna: *stomps on him* Take This, Fiend!

Marius: Fiend? ( Come On, Kids.... ) ^^;

Sea-na: *sat on his face* I Hope you sufficient, meanie! >o<#

Elska: Whoa! I don't think we need to kill him.... ( Yet. ) ...And what are you planning to do, pleasure him?

Sea-na: D: ...But I saw Mommy and Daddy once did that in bed---!

Marius: Okay, That's quite enough. -w-;

Salty: Hey, lay off the nose, I just had it fixed! XO *struggles against Twig's Psychic and manages to reposition his arms, aiming them at e-chan and Annaliese* Explosion!

*Seeing what Salty was doing, both Twig and Aria quickly push their trainers out of the way and get caught within a mini-explosion when Salty snaps his fingers. e-chan and Annaliese quickly rush over to their Pokemon, scooping them up in their arms.*

e-chan: Twig!! *scoops Twig up in his arms* Twig, please be okay...

*Now free from the hold of Psychic, Salty reaches into his coat pocket and pulls out the remote that controls his ship. After entering some commands on it he makes the ship take off high into the sky.*

Salty: There's no escaping for you now...

Annaliese: A-Ariaaa!! D8 *scoops her up* ;^; Please...Please be alive.... don't leave me.... :tears:

Karin: *comforts Annaliese* Don't worry, Anna-Chan... She's still kick'n, just....hurt. :<

Marius: ....Damn! Wait! :X

e-chan: Twig... *cradles Twig in his arms*

Twig: *regains consciousness* e-chan...are you okay?

e-chan: I'm fine thanks to you; thank you, Twig. I'm gonna get you out of here, just hold on.

Twig: ^w^ Thank you, e-chan. I'm fine, really *stands up on her own* but I'm not going anywhere until HE is down and out! >o< *begins glowing brightly*

e-chan: O_o T-Twig!?

Aria: *wakes up* Huh? What happened? >.o;

Annaliese: Oh Thank Heavens... TwT

Marius: Let's not waste anytime, and catch that asshole! *runs after him*

Aluma: Let's see if I can hack to the system.... I have to get too the main computer room... *walks there*

Karin: You Heard Twig, and Marius, Let's make him regret the day he ever messes with us! ^0^ Let's a Go!

Twig: YAAAAAH!!

*Twig grows even brighter and is wrapped in blue energy as she begins to grow even taller and changes shape. In a burst of light her transformation is complete: Twig had evolved into a Delphox.*

e-chan: Twig, you evolved... QwQ

Twig: *pulls a stick from out of her sleeve and aims it at Salty* feel the burn! >o< *shoots a Flamethrower attack at Salty*

Salty: *nimbly dodges the incoming Flamethrower* you're not touching that computer, girl!

*Salty takes off after Aluma but his path is quickly blocked by Marius, e-kun and e-sama.*

e-kun: And you're not touching her!

e-sama: *draws his sword*

Marius: I Promise you, you'll get broken if you lay a finger on her!

Aluma: Thank You. *runs to the computer room as fast as she can*

Annaliese: Aria... Now.

Aria: *use Sing to put him to sleep*

Salty: *snarls and stumbles about trying to fight off the heavy urge to go to sleep*

e-kun: Aw, is the big bad wolf sleepy? Here, have a pick-me-up on me! *charges his fist with electricity then pummels Salty with a barrage of punches before finishing with a hard uppercut*

e-sama: *attacks Salty midair with quick and precise sword strikes using the blunt end of his sword before using one mighty swing to send Salty plummeting back towards the ground*

Salty: *quickly maneuvers himself so that he lands on his hands and feet*

e-chan: Twig, use Psychic to hold him down!

Twig: With pleasure~ *uses Psychic on Salty to freeze him in place*

Salty: *struggles to break free and stay awake at the same time*

Aria: *singing a lot louder, cause him to get even more sleepy*

Annaliese: Keep Going, Aria! ^^

Salty: *continues to struggle* ...oh bugger it... *collapses and falls fast asleep*

Aluma: *hacks into the ship* Such Machinery has to belong to bad people.... :< ....Okay, I'm almost in the system.

Annaliese: *punches salty* Take That, Meanie! >.<#

Karin: Yeah, *dance around with Annaliese, at the same time stomping on him* WHOO~!

*Aluma suddenly gets the feeling that she isn't alone in the main computer room as she feels a sinister presence behind her. Meanwhile back at the holding cells, with the help of e-kun's Volcarona, Caren, using several String Shots, Salty was thoroughly tied up and restrained, making it easy for everybody there to get in as many parting shots to the pirate as they wanted.*

Aluma: ...Huh? .... *shaking in fear* *turns around* :fear: ...*tries to hack into it*

Karin: *pull down her shorts, and do...* Falcon Booty! :D *smacks him with her fire buttocks* >w< C'mon, Potpourri, Do it with Me!

Lalao: *stomps on him* This will teach ya! >:I

Samantha: *smack him in the face* Take That, Jerk! >0<#

Annaliese: *sniffs abit* .... I smell a different scent in the room where Aluma is at... :<

Marius: ...What? O_O; ... *runs in there*

Anna: Mommy? :worried:

Marius Jr: Mom? D:

Sea-na: Oh No! D:>

(Karin doesn't have her fire powers back just yet.)

*As Marius and his kids begin to make their way to the computer room where Aluma was they hear frightened screaming. Seconds later Aluma is seen running in their direction, as if she was running away from something or someone. Sensing that something very powerful was coming their way from the computer room, Marius leads Aluma and his kids back to the others to warn them.*

( Whoops, Almost forgot! ^^; )

Marius: What the hell is THAT?! O_O;

Aluma: I Don't Knoooooow, Ruuuun!!! :cries:

Anna: Jeez! D8

Marius Jr: Meep! O~o;

Sea-na: ;0; KYAAAAH!

Ashuro: *senses the power level coming from the computer room* that power...I've felt it somewhere before...

Salty: *senses the power level* O_O;; NO-NO-NO!! He's here now!? I can't let the boss see that I failed a simple retrieval mission! :fear:

e-chan: Your boss!? How did he get on? We're hundreds of feet in the air...

Salty: He can use warp portals to get wherever he wants to like the cat can *struggles to break free from the String Shot webbing but is unable to* darn it, this isn't good; he's already terrifying enough when he's calm; I don't want to see him when he's furious!

Marius: This guy is no joke, Just sense it, people! *get his sword ready*

Aluma: *hinds behind marius* :fear:

Elska: Show yourself, Jerkface! >0<

Annaliese: I rather want him NOT showing himself. :fear:

Karin: I Hope We're Ready. o3o

Aria: Master, I'm Scared.... :<

Annaliese: I'm Scared Too. :<

*Slow, steady footsteps could be heard approaching their location. Within seconds they see him: a tall batman wearing an long, elegant blue coat; it was Benjamin Koco*

Ashuro: OoO; you...

*The kids all hide behind their parents, knowing all full and well just how powerful the man before them was.*

Marius: ....So, Friend of yours?

Ashuro: No, this one is no friend.

Megumi: *whispers into Marius' ear* Dad, that guy is Benjamin Koco; he's incredibly dangerous and he's the very reason we've all come to this time period: to stop him before he becomes too powerful to stop.

Benjamin: *looks at everybody before him, scanning their power level* ...

Marius: Great, Now we can try to give him a peace of our minds...

Elska: ....He's so quiet.

Aluma: Barely looks like he's breathing... :<

Benjamin: *looks over at Salty*

Salty: O_O;; *heart beats loudly*

Benjamin: I'll deal with your failure later *looks over at Mugz* you, boy...

Mugz: O_O;; *recoils a bit when Benjamin speaks to him*

Benjamin: *begins walking towards Mugz*

Karin: *tries to stop him* Don't lay a finger on him, you meanie! >3<#

Annaliese: Eeek! KARIN NOO! D8>

Benjamin: *ignores Karin's attempts to stop him and walks up to Mugz*

Mugz: O_O;; *gulps but doesn't back down*

Benjamin: It seems that you too have a great power deep inside you like the other men here, boy. But before I can extract this power it needs to be unlocked first *places his hand on Mugz's head* Unlock.

*Mugz's body suddenly begins brimming with Wind E-nergy and blades of wind shoot out in every direction.*

Mugz: WOOOOOOAH!!! >O<

Benjamin: Hmm, perhaps making your body experience the full force of this new power all at once wasn't the best option. No matter, though; I'll make sure to extract it from you before your body gives out and you die.

Karin: You Ain't Gonna Kill Him! *bites on his head* >///<#

Marius: Seriously, Get off him!

Karin: And let him trying to kill My Mugz?! NO WAY! DX

Salty: O_o; that chick has a death wish...

Benjamin: -_-#

*Benjamin delivers a quick backhanded smack over his shoulder to Karin's face and sends her flying and crashing into a nearby wall. She was not seriously hurt but the hit definitely stung a lot. Benjamin then slowly begins walking over towards Karin but is cut off when e-kun and e-sama block his path, ready to fight.*

Benjamin: ...move.

e-kun: Like we're gonna move just because you sai- *suddenly loses all feeling in his body* h-huh??

e-sama: *loses all feeling in his body and drops his sword* what...what is this?

Benjamin: So, you're actually strong enough to resist the command to this extent. I'll say it again, MOVE.

*e-kun and e-sama's bodies move out of Benjamin's way against their will.*

e-kun: What's happening; why don't I have control over my body!?

e-sama: Is this his doing; controlling his opponents simply by commanding them to do something?

Annaliese: KARIN! D8>

Karin: ...Its Not Overh....I swear to butt, I'll kick your god... @A@;

Marius: How are we going to stop this, guy?

Annaliese: ;^; Please, don't do this!

*As Benjamin reaches out to grab Karin a large blade of wind strikes his back and makes him recoil in pain. When he looks behind him he sees that Mugz is standing strong and now in control of his newly awakened Wind powers.*

Mugz: Stop! Leave my Karin...ALONE!! *rockets forward with a burst of Wind E-nergy, then creates a blade of wind that he uses to pierce through Benjamin's chest*

Benjamin: *grunts in pain*

Potpourri: WHOO! GO DADDY! ^o^

Nougat: F-Fight, win! *gently pumps her tiny fists in the air*

e-kun: *can feel his body is under his control again and quickly delivers shoots ice beams at Benjamin's feet to trap him in place*

e-sama: *can feel his body is under his control again* at least now we know he can be hurt; if we're going to make our stand now is the time! *reaches down to reclaim his sword*

Marius: Alright, Way to go, Mugz! ^0^

Karin: Whooo! Muggzy! ^w^

Elska: Now we can attack him!

Marius: *using shirokku slashes to make fire tornado at Benjamin*

Annaliese: Aria, use close combat!

Aria: *does so* WAAATAH!!!

Benjamin: *takes the fire tornado and Aria's Close Combat*

e-sama: *swings his sword at Benjamin*

Benjamin: *quickly draws a sword from his coat and counters e-sama's sword strike*

e-sama: !! so he's a swordsman afterall...

Benjamin: *breaks free from his icy bonds then powerfully swings his sworn in a cross pattern, sending an X-shaped energy blade straight at Marius and the kids behind him*

Marius: *using his shield to reflect it, Using twin blades at him* Eat this!

Benjamin: *easily and expertly parries all of Marius' attacks*

Marius: Hehe, Very Nice. (planning on using counter when he throws anything on me.)

e-kun: *shoots a large lightning bolt at Benjamin*

Benjamin: *uses his sword as a lightning rod to electrify it* ... *looks over in the direction of Elska, Sarna and Lalao then aims his sword at them and shoots a huge lightning bolt at them*

e-chan: O_O;; *rushes over to the girls then quickly transforms into his Pokemon Wobbuffet form and uses Mirror Coat to send the lightning bolt back at Benjamin with twice the power*

e-kun and e-sama: *tackles into Benjamin to send him directly into the massive lightning bolt*

Benjamin: !! *gets hit and fried by the massive lightning attack and falls to the ground*

Marius: *lifts him up, and spins him, and throw him to Mugz* Spike Him!

Mugz: Hut, hut, Spike! *hits Benjamin with all of his might into the floor*

Benjamin: ... *remains motionless*

Ashuro: ...

Marius: What is this Stiff?

Elska: How come he can't feel a thing just now?!

Aluma: ...Is he a robot? :<

Benjamin: *stands back up and seems to have somehow healed from all of the damage he took* is that all you men were truly capable of? I must say that I'm a bit disappointed; perhaps I overestimated your talents and abilities...

e-kun: *growls angrily* you pompous bastard! *charges at Benjamin with his body engulfed in flames*

Cream: Daddy NO! OoO;

*Benjamin effortlessly dodges e-kun's flaming charge then powerfully karate chops the back of his neck. A loud cracking noise can be heard by all as e-kun's flames go out and he falls to the ground, motionless*

Cookie and Cream: Daddy!! ToT

e-kun: ... *not moving and barely breathing*

Roxie: *screams top of her lungs* E-KUUUN!!!!! Q0Q

Marius: You Son of a Bitch, You'll pay for that!!

Annaliese: TOT Noooo...!

Karin: Noo! C'mon wake up, dude! D8

Anna & Marius Jr: ;^; I'm Scared...!

Benjamin: He's not dead...yet, but he will be soon enough.

e-sama: None of us are dying here today!

*e-sama engages Benjamin in a swordfight. Suddenly Benjamin disappears then reappears seconds later behind e-sama as he sheathes his sword. The moment his sword is sheathed, really bad cuts appear all over e-sama's body and blood forcefully spurts from them all at once like an explosion. e-sama falls to the floor unconscious.*

Samuel: DAD!! OAO

Samantha: E-SAMAAAA!!! :cries:

Roxie: :tears: Nooo....

Karin: *Steps away from him* Hey, What point are we losing control here?? D:

Marius: Any Plans?

Aluma: I Would Get Kayako, She has a copy ability, and can heal you...

Marius: If she can do it...

Karin: A Copy Ability? Holy Buttcrackers, I Didn't know that! O_O;

Samantha: I Hope she can heal up e-sama... :tears:

Roxie: So as e-kun! *sobbing* :cries:

Rocko: This can't be happening...

Benjamin: ... *suddenly appears next to Rocko*

Rocko: WHOA! *jumps backwards and charges up with electricity*

Benjamin: *quickly shoots a powerful laser from his finger that pierces through the right side of Rocko's chest*

Rocko: *chokes on his breath then collapses*

Mimi: Daddy! Q_Q

*Benjamin's power and speed increases greatly and then he appears next to Marius then begins to rapidly and mercilessly with punches and kicks. He was going so fast that Marius had no time to react or defend himself. Benjamin finishes his assault by breaking Marius' right arm and left leg.*

Angel: MARiUS!! *roars ferociously as her rage powers her up*

*The Were-Nekofi Angel begins fighting Benjamin furiously and seemed to have no trouble keeping up with him at that moment.*

Maggie: N-Noooooo!!! D8> :tears: Puddin!

Marius: GUEK! GAAAAAH!!!

Aluma: MAAAARIUS!!! :cries:

Marius Jr: ;^; Dad!!!

Anna: :cries: Daaadddy!!! *charge at him* You stupid fiend!

Aluma: *jumps on anna* No! Stand Back! :tears: Not you too!

Anna: But Mommy... TT^TT

Annaliese: Angel, Don't! STOP! D8 *run to Angel*

Aria & Karin: NO! Don't do it! D:

Twig: *uses Psychic to stop Annaliese and float her over to Karen and Aria*

e-chan: He was toying with us; from the very beginning he was toying with us by letting us think that he was vulnerable.

Ashuro: (There's no telling how strong he really is; and if the kids really came here to this time to stop him then right now he still at his weakest. None of the other's attacks are doing anything to him and with the way things are going I don't think any of mine are going to do any better...however...maybe THAT would be enough to take him out in one shot. But if I'm really going to use that I need to get the others out of here first.)

Benjamin: *sends Angel flying past the others into a wall with one mighty kick*

Angel: *struggles to get back up* >_o *shakily stands up, using all of strength to stay on her feet but still has the desire to fight*

Megumi: *rushes over to Angel and helps steady her* Mommy no! You won't be able to take another hit like that.

Mugz: *flies above Benjamin and shoots a extremely powerful beam of cutting Wind E-nergy that sends Benjamin through several of the ship walls*

Benjamin: *has massive cuts all over his body and lies down motionless and in pain*

Marius: *crawls to Angel* Guhh...

Karin: *tries to put her gem back*

Aluma: Marius... :( *Gets her communicator to get help* ( Good, i'm picking up a signal... )

Marius: I Hate To laying her in the sidelines... Guhh..

Lalao: *Tries to hit him with a steel pipe* HYAAH! >0<

e-chan: *rushes over to Lalao and leads her back to the others* we don't know how long he'll stay like that so the further we are away from him the better.

Ashuro: *goes over to Marius and heals his broken arm and leg then opens a portal* Marius, I need you to do me a huge favor and get everybody out of here to safety. There's only one thing that I can think of that'll completely obliterate this guy but I need everyone out of here before I do. This portal will lead you directly to the park grounds where the ship was first docked.

Marius: Thanks, Dude. *goes in*

Aluma: Best of luck.

Annaliese: Aluma, what did you do?

Aluma: I was trying to call Kayako, and The Saturns... But I nearly forgot Ashuro can heal people.

*Seeing the portal that Ashuro had created everybody figures that it is for the best that they escape while they can. Samuel and Samantha drag a bloody e-sama through the portal; Cookie, Cream and Roxie do the same for e-kun. Maggie and Mimi help get Rocko back on his feet and lead him through the portal while Aluma and Megumi carefully lead Angel through the portal as well. Seconds later as everybody files out through the portal, only Ashuro, Mugz, Annaliese, Karin, Aria, Tsubasa and Potpourri are left.*

Mugz: *senses that Benjamin is stirring* he'll be coming around soon *takes his wingpack off* Potpourri, I need you to take this with you; it contains your mother's flame powers and extra years of life. If I don't make it back...

Potpourri: Don't say that, Daddy! ;n;

Mugz: I have to stay and help Ashuro; now take your Mother and get out of here while you still can.

Ashuro: Anna-chan, Tsubasa, you two should get going, too; if this works I'll be right behind you shortly.

Tsubasa: Good luck, Dad.

*Potpourri puts on the Wing Pack and takes Karin by the hand as they both walk through the portal. Tsubasa and Aria then go through the portal; just before Annaliese goes through the portal Benjamin suddenly appears in front of her, scaring her as she falls backwards into Ashuro's arms. He then draws his sword and slashes the portal, making it disappear. Looking at him, Ashuro and Mugz could tell that Benjamin's injuries were healed again.*

Ashuro: Darn it!

Marius: Okay, let's move.

---

Annaliese: D8> ... N-No! Please get out of the way! >0T

Benjamin: *emits a strange energy fills the entire ship*

*The moment Benjamin emits the strange energy throughout the ship Annaliese feels very strange. She tries to use her Solnar bond to contact Claire for help but she can't hear or feel her presence like she normally could.*

Benjamin: *turns to face Mugz* didn't think that you would get a handle of that power of yours that quickly; I hope you had your fun because now I come to harvest it.

Annaliese: No...C-Claire....C'mon... :fear:

Ashuro: (This has to work...) *summons his Pensword in his right hand*

Benjamin: !!

*Sensing that whatever Ashuro was up to could prove disastrous to him if left unchecked, Benjamin quickly turns around and attacks Ashuro savagely and then pins him to the ground with his right foot then stabs Ashuro's right arm with his sword to make him drop his Pensword and hold him in place.*

Ashuro: AUGH!! >o<

Benjamin: Perhaps I should start with you afterall...

Annaliese: STOP HURTING ASHURO, YOU BIG BULLY!!! :rage: *attacks him by punching him in the face, really hard* HYAH! >0<#

Benjamin: -_-# *casually smacks Annaliese to the side and then emits a supersonic screech that brings Mugz down to his knees in pain*

Ashuro: Anna-chan! Mugz! *activates Backfire Drive and roars ferociously*

Benjamin: *ignites his free hand with energy then jabs it into Ashuro's chest and with a ripping motion causes hundreds of energy orbs to emerge from his body*

Ashuro: AUGH! What the...!? O_O What is this? What did you do to me?

Benjamin: I see that you have a multitude of different powers and abilities. Now, which one should I take first...? Perhaps...this one.

*Benjamin takes an orb and then severs the E-nergy link holding it to Ashuro's body; upon this happening Ashuro immediately reverts back to his regular form and is unable to go back into Backfire Drive.*

Benjamin: And I'll take...this one as well.

*Benjamin takes another orb and severs the E-nergy link holding it to Ashuro's body; upon this happening Ashuro's Pensword disappears and he is unable to summon it again. Benjamin then places the two orbs he had taken up against his chest and absorbs them into his body.*

Benjamin: ...now, what to take next?

*Suddenly, Annaliese rockets towards Benjamin and delivers an incredibly powerful and devastating punch to Benjamin's head and sends him flying through several of the ship's walls. To do this she used every bit of power she could muster from before she lost contact with Claire and focused a small amount in her legs and the majority in her right arm; the force her attack broke her hand but she was more concerned about Ashuro as she rushed over to him and helped Mugz in pushing the orbs back into Ashuro's body.*

Mugz: *pushing the many orbs back into Ashuro's body*

Ashuro: Anna-chan, are you alright?

Annaliese: *crying* Yes, I'm alright, are you alright? *feels her hand* Owww!! :tear: What has gotten into me?

Mugz: That was your desire to protect somebody important to you.

*Annaliese assists Mugz in pushing the energy orbs back into Ashuro's body. Usually when she used up that much energy at once it was always replaced with new energy provided by Claire; the fact that she still felt so drained was proof that something, most likely Benjamin, was somehow blocking her connection to Claire.*

Benjamin: *looks pissed as he gets back up, pops his jaw back into place then begins making his way back to Ashuro, Mugz and Annaliese*

Mugz: *looks behind him* O_O *quickly pushes the remaining orbs back into Ashuro's chest then pulls out the sword stuck in Ashuro's arm*

*Ashuro quickly uses his E-nergy to seal up his chest and arm wound then quickly gets back on his feet. As he tries to prepare an attack Benjamin quickly closes the distance between them, grabs Ashuro and then drains him off all of his E-nergy to heal the damage that Annaliese's last attack inflicted, becoming fully healed. He then tosses a drained Ashuro hard against the wall and Annaliese rushes over to assist him.*

Ashuro: Okay, that hurt quite a bit... =~=

Annaliese: *picks him up, and absorb some of his energy* I can't let him hurt you like this, Ashuro! ;^; *Keeps firing energy blasts at him* Back AWAY! >0<

(Important event happening now)

Benjamin: *walks towards Annaliese and Ashuro, taking the energy blasts in full but seems unaffected by them* it seems that I underestimated you, girl; that last attack actually hurt quite a bit. Now that I know what you're capable of I'll treat you like a real opponent...meaning that as of now, your life if forfeit.

*The killing intent was clear in Benjamin's eyes. As the powerful bat made his way closer to Annaliese Ashuro began to panic as he was both drained of all energy to counterattack and his body was very sore and moving was proving to be painful; but the thought of losing Annaliese gave him the strength to get back up as he slowly limped towards her as she continued to pelt Benjamin with energy blasts.*

Ashuro: No...NO! I won't let you harm my Annaliese! >o< *collapses when he's right behind Annaliese but reaches out a shaking arm towards her*

*Benjamin sticks his right arm out to one side to create a large sword made completely out of his E-nergy then rears back to swing it at Annaliese. Just as Benjamin begins his swinging slash Ashuro begins to glow brightly as a new kind of energy flows from him and into Annaliese. Bathed in this new energy Annaliese's instincts are heightened and she immediately stops pelting Benjamin with energy blasts and catches Benjamin's E-nergy sword with her bare hand before it made contact with her neck. The E-nergy sword didn't cut Annaliese in anyway and wouldn't budge even when Benjamin increased his strength. That's when it happened: an Aquitican antenna appeared on Annaliese's head and she transformed into her Nekofi form, something she usually could only do when she had a clear connection to Claire; her broken hand heals instantly and she instantly delivers a powerful, stretching punch to Benjamin's face, sending him flying back through some more walls. Like at Slumber Gigas earlier, the phenomenon known as an Aquitican Bond had happened again.*

Annaliese: TwT Th-Thank You... D-Did you see?! I did that...t-twice! QwQ ... *hugs ashuro* TT_TT Don't scare me like that...!

Ashuro: Sorry for worrying you, Anna-chan... *goes down to his knees* ... *tries to summon his Pensword but is unable to* this is bad; he really has my Pensword now. If he decides to use it now none of us will be safe; we have to get out of here but I can't make another portal...

Mugz: I could fly us down...but I gave my Wing Pack to my girls...and there's no way Benjamin would let me stay at the controls long enough to land this ship manually...

Benjamin: How right you are.

*Ashuro, Annaliese and Mugz are surprised to see that Benjamin had recovered from Annaliese's powerful attack so quickly and was upon them again.*

Benjamin: So you formed an Aquitican Bond, huh? Disgusting! You fake Aquiticans are nothing but parasites; to think that your type was created to keep the Aquitican race alive.

Ashuro: Fake Aquitican; what are you talking about?

Benjamin: You'd be surprised as to what you don't know about your heritage. Too bad there aren't any Lore Keepers left; you could've asked one of them to tell you all about Aquitican history...including how you could've brought out your true potential.

Annaliese: What?? D-Did something happened? :(

Benjamin: ...kneel.

*Ashuro, Annaliese and Mugz find themselves kneeling to Benjamin against their will; it was just like moments earlier with e-kun and e-sama.*

Benjamin: Now... *looks at Ashuro* examining all of your powers will take some time so I'll dispose of you last... *looks at Mugz* you only have one power so I'll deal with you second... *looks at Annaliese* ...you however have nothing that I need...although I could use another minion *looks over at the still tied up Salty* there might be an opening after this.

Salty: OxO;;

Benjamin: *looks at Annaliese again* so what do you say; care to join me in my conquest, little Nekofi-half?

Annaliese: Never! I don't want too! I'm happy with being with someone who's not cold hearted as you! >0<
