"Vexus isn't our only problem now..." Bullet who had been seemingly staring into space suddenly said in a rather uncharacteristically grim tone. "Just look." He pointed to the large, TV filled window of a nearby RadioShed.
".. in light of intel leaked earlier today on the heads of the Operation and criminalizing evidence of the Government's involvement. Anti-US protests have sprouted up all over the globe. The administrations of Russia and China have already condemned the US Government's actions, but no further information has been released. Both Washington and Skyway Patrol have refused to comment. The United States now stands on the brink of war not only with the Cluster, but here on Earth as well. We now turn to...
"Well, looks like the s**t just hit the fan." Viktor commented almost casually.
Bullet turned to Jenny and the others. "It looks like everything will be put on hold indefinitely if a miracle doesn't happen soon." He declared. "Let's go see if we can find the other vigilantes, we've got a world to save."
There was an awkward silence in reaction to Bullet's trite declaration.
"What? I've always wanted to say that."

((Yup, a little speedy. Since Koith is not yet scripted to be captured like this!))
After few Alpha jumps, Koith finally saw back the Earth from the dark space. Remember Jakob was inside the place when the soldier making his narrow escape, he hacks into the communication system and turn on the comm-link channel, as Earth standards. Damm, Vega's sword crippled Koith's shoulder a bit since the energy leftovers sparked through his arm. Not a problem since the soldier is ambidextrous, he changed to the other hand and...good! Turn on the comm-link, Koith sends a message to Jakob.
"I know you're at Cluster for me! But I'm not in mood to talk at that time. I know you want something about Hornet, and I willing to expose it if you willing to help me, in exchange. If you agree, we'll do this in an easy way. Meet me at Junkerton, I'll tell you something about my ill-fated operation!"
Then, focus on the main objective, Koith heads into the atmosphere and slow down the speed. Finally, the soldier saw the Eagle Sky again. Changing the channel, Koith says:
-Earth Command, this is Blue Metal, Hornet Delta Commander, MIA. I'm now on the Cluster Interceptor-class spaceship and need some guidance to the nearest airfield, over.
After few secs, the comm replied.
"WELCOME HOME, BLUE METAL! WE'LL SEND A SQUADRON PICKING YOU DOWN. YOU GOT A LONG TRIP AND NEED A REST, I GUESS!"
-Yeah,-Koith smirks, his metallic skin on the wounded shoulder finally snapped out of Vega's sword energy-effect and start to cover the hole again-Damm, I must thanks Kane for his Nanosteel Plating!
With the flight support from his fellow pilots, Koith landed on the airfield as he demanded. A quick salutation with the Commander, the soldier says:
-I got details about Clusters possible invasion toward us! Please gimme a flight back to Junkerton.
-Roger,-The airfield commander nods, then orders his men preparing the chopper.

//PART OF ME WISHES WE DIDN'T DESTROY THE NCC.
"Why's that?" Jakob asked as the blink began.
//THEY DIDN'T MAKE A MESS OF THINGS. THEY NEVER HAVE BEEN SLOPPY. THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE CAUSED SUCH A MESS AND CAUSE UNNECESSARY TROUBLE.
By the time the sentence was finished, the mech had finished materializing atop the tallest skyscraper in Tremorton.
"... True..."
//INTERCEPTOR INBOUND.
"Track it's movements. If you have a shot, take it."
The mech stood ready to blast the interceptor out of the sky with plasma lasers at the ready.

"What? I've always wanted to say that." Bullet said in response to the awkward silence of himself, Viktor, and Jenny.
"Uh..." Plink said before he put his hand up to his "chin". At the same time, the small antennae on the top of his head started to rise to reveal the medium sized radar dish on the top of his head. The radar panned this way and that before retracting back into his head. At this point, Plink stopped holding his chin and faced the TV. "Well. If were on the brink of war, it's best we get ready. Something tells me that we will not be ignored during the duration of this thing. The person at the center of this whole Operation Hornet sent an AI to lead it...if my research is correct. If anything, we will likely be primary targets if not secondary."
Plink turns back to everyone. "So who's ready to right some wrongs?" Plink said.

As Jakob was leaving, Vega and Eric ran to the nearest spaceport and got into the last royal warship left.
"You know, trying to rule Cluster Prime is hard enough when I don't have to deal with mother and attacks from Earth." Vega said.
The ship took off and followed the stolen warship.
-----
"Do you think Ralph and the others will be fine on their own?" Vega asked.
"Yeah. I mean, it's not like we'll need them for anything. They're stuck inside the circuitry of the royal palace. They won't be in any danger." Eric responded, putting up his feet on the dashboard and laying back in the co-pilot's seat.

"So who's ready to right some wrongs?" Plink said.
Jenny, Viktor, and Bullet nodded in tacit agreement.
Jenny, being the veteran of the group, decided she would take charge. "Okay, Bullet, go to Mezmer's and see if anyone is there. Viktor, go to Jakob's house to see if he's come back (OOC: Please don't bring up the fact that she couldn't have known he left, just go with it...), and Plink, you can go with one of the other two or anywhere you thnk you can get help. We'll meet back at Junkerton in an hour unless something comes up. In that case, we need to get in contact through our emergency communication lines. Savvy?"
"Roger that." Bullet said. "Okie Dokie Lokie." Viktor sounded off. They dashed off to their respective places to gather any and all support for the seemingly-imminent battle that loomed like a dark, thundering cloud in the distance.
When they had all gone, Jenny activated her communicator to speak with her mother. "Mom, you really need to stop obsessing over that experiment and look around you. The world's falling apart at the seams. Keep the other XJs on call." She shut the communicator off without waiting for a reply and took off into the Tremorton sky.
Ironically, there were dark, thundering clouds gathering in the distance.

"Plink, you can go with one of the other two or anywhere you thnk you can get help. We'll meet back at Junkerton in an hour unless something comes up. In that case, we need to get in contact through our emergency communication lines. Savvy?" Jenny said.
"On it! CHEERIO!!" Plink said in a mock British accent before darting out of the mall at 0.5 Mach ((speed of sound for those who don't know. Well actually it's more elaborate than that)). "GAH! Sorry! 'Scuse me! Robot comin through! Watch your step sir! LOOK OUT!!" Plink said as he darted through streets into a plaza. "Okay John! Let's see if you can find any techies around this area." The radar dish at the top of his head activated again as Plink tried to do a radar scan of any robots or AI that would be willing to lend a hand. "Let's see...let's see...i see nearly nooooottthhhhiiiiinnnnngggg annnndddddd......crud!" Plink said as nothing remained on his radar. "Yeesh! Why don't people build their own robotic children for once!?" Plink immediately tracked Bullet down and flew off into his direction at Mezmers. "Didn't find anyone else." Plink said as he walked up behind Bullet.
It was at this point that Plink noticed the thunder clouds rolling in. "Um..is it me or are things just now starting to become extremely intense?" Plink said.

(OOC: Plink, Bullet's actually at Mezmer's and Viktor's going to Jakob's. There's no problem, just choose who/where you want be with/at. Though preferrably Mezmer's please... ) Viktor reached Jakob's place, who didn't appear to be home. Even if he was, Viktor couldn't tell anyway due to the bunker-like quality of the deceptive dwelling. Just then, Viktor had an idea. Right, his apartment! He's probably got something useful there, even if he doesn't know it.Viktor ran at his superhuman speed to the apartment net to his own. He pulled out a key and unlocked the door, but hesitated and took a deep breath before entering. Inside was a filled with the belongings of an old friend. Although Viktor wished he could stop to cherish the past, he continued into the bedroom closet, which had a room hidden behind it. Viktor put a code into what looked like an ordinary book on the outside but was actually a rotary style dial inside. The closet wall opened to reveal a tiny, brightly lit chamber filled with various weapons and tools. The centerpiece of the collection was an aging bullet belt and a very large gun that appeared like it would shoot giant rivets. Viktor just stared longingly at the equipment before pulling out a small bag. He took the two items, along with a few others, and miraculously fitted into the bag. Thank the Time Lords. He thought. Viktor closed the secret room and hastily left the apartment. When he got outside, he wiped a single tear from his eye. He felt the small disc in his pocket again. You've simply got to remember, no matter how painful it must have been...Viktor took off in the direction of Mezmer's. ((Last or tonight, sorry))

While at Junkerton, Marie and Grinder preparing the defense. Koith's missing recently, so his assistant...eh, so called "wife" takes charge of this place. While discussing with Delta captain about the placement of defenses, the girl suddenly heard sound of chopper at the helipad. Who's there? Marie self-asked, then get out of the quarter to see. Oh my, she can't believe it. Koith, her love...he's back, in one piece as the day he left. Can't bear the burst of emotions she rushed into the soldier, dipped into his hands and chest.
-I'd known it!-She said-I'd always known you're still alive,
-Sorry for keep you waiting, dear-Koith rubs Marie's hair gently-I was so busy at the Prime and didn't return on time,
-Anyways,-He continues-I hope you'd got the date when Vexus' fleet arrive!
-Always got it!-Marie nodded-You'll see more in the quarter after a short rest,
Seeing Grinder, Koith saluted him with a joke:
-Long time no see again, kamerad!
-Yellow Lily always trusted on her sense,-The captain smirks-Now I get it why she always being like that.
-Well, let's get this over with!-Koith sighs with a smile, then get into the quarter for the plan, without having a rest what he deserved.
((OOC: Jakob, Koith just back home and sent a message to your bin. Please check it out!))

((OOC:Meant to post this earlier but didn't have time:godmodding is bad, don't do it. If something wasn't in your plan message the User responsible and convince them to change their post or roll with the change. Seriously, it was harmless this time but it can be a huge pain and takes a lot of fun out of rping. Don't do it, end of story))

//MOTION DETECTED AT HOME. SAME SIGNAL.
"Impossible, No FTL drive can get here faster than our blink," Jakob muttered, "Not even an interceptor's."
//THEN AGAIN, WE DID TAKE OUR TIME. I'M PERSONALLY WONDERING WHY WE'RE CONSISTENTLY ONE STEP BEHIND.
"So what's the Blue Metal doing?"
//DELIVERING A PACKAGE. SHAPE AND SIZE: STANDARD ENVELOPE. HE'S IN DEEP TROUBLE, AND BOMBING US WOULD DO NOTHING TO HELP HIS SITUATION, SO IT CAN'T BE AN EXPLOSIVE.
"I would love to read what he has to say for himself for accepting a mission to cause an unnecessary war... and then botching it."
//GENE WRIGHT WOULD WANT TO HEAR ABOUT THE CURRENT EVENTS AND THE LETTER TOO.
"Agreed. Call him up once we get the letter."
One blink later, and Jakob hopped out of the cockpit outside the bunker. On the ground right in front of the door (on account of there not being a bin) there was an envelope.
"Now let's see how you're going to reap this whirlwind," Jakob muttered as he picked up the letter. At the same time, his comm was set to phone Dr. Wright.
((If Gene were to answer and ask what's been happening, the following answer would be made:))
"Current events for the past hour: Went to Cluster, met with Vega and Husband, tried to discuss objective- which was to find Blue Metal for questioning."
"Blue Metal detected in a data storage space in high-security bunker, possibly hacking for who-knows-what. Somehow got away and stole interceptor after getting stabbed by Vega, despite my request to use non-lethal measures. Blue Metal returned home with stolen Cluster technology, probably going to leave it for the US government to claim and reverse-engineer."
"Package sent to my doorstep, will read it as it's written. Message says: I know you're at Cluster for me! But I'm not in mood to talk at that time. I know you want something about Hornet, and I willing to expose it if you willing to help me, in exchange. If you agree, we'll do this in an easy way. Meet me at Junkerton, I'll tell you something about my ill-fated operation!""
For an insubordinate and disrespectful message as that, Jakob had to fight the urge to punch his own door in. Such an action would be unlike his character, and Dr. Gene Wright would've heard that.
"Frankly, I don't give a damn about what this guy has to say anymore. The easy way would've been to allow him to explain himself to the Cluster rather than shoot their Queen, her bodyguards, and hitting some more with a flashbang."

“If you are going to use humor as defense mechanism, than I suggest that you work on your material.” BW said to Plink while standing on top of her head

((Plink is a guy. Unless BW is a girl and her head is off...in which case that would make more sense I guess.))
“If you are going to use humor as defense mechanism, than I suggest that you work on your material.” a voice said from _________...
"Defense mechanism? Humor?" Plink said in a confused fashion. "I usually try not to use humor in serious situations."

“Too bad, it helps if you are good at it. Anyway citizen you know anyone that needs to be rescued? I can escort you to safety.” BW said while sitting on Plink’s head. She paused a moment “Oh I am sorry I forgot to say my name to you to make you feel comfortable. My name is Bolt Wisp but you can call me BW.” BW said giving her hand to shake to be nice even thou she size of doll.
