The Next Generation

Chapter 92: The Riddle of the Ancient Aeons

One month later

"Missing home too?"

Leah froze as she turned towards Remus, who was standing in the entrance of the holo-room. The hologram of New York City disappeared.

"Yeah... I can't imagine my dad without seeing..." Leah shuddered at the memory, "That"

"I know, and I'm sorry to bother you but Fugitoid needs us in the main room"

"I'm coming just give me a minute"

"Okay-!"

"You should take a minute to come in here too"

"Leah, I'm not the one who had their father's blood on their hands... I'm fine, I have Nymph and I have my friends here, We're not gonna lose because... That's lame and we're not lame"

Leah snickered, "Uncle Mikey told you that"

"And quoting Mikey, he's never wrong!" Remus snickered.

"Still! But if you say so"

The two walked into the main room, the others looked up and smiled as they saw them.

"Hey dorks, look!"

"Is that the Quarren ship?"

"I don't think so"

The Ulixies hid behind an asteroid as they spied on the Quarren mothership, Fugitoid was hacking into their security cameras.

"See anything interesting?"

"Not yet"

"Oh boo!"

"Ah, they are convinced that the first piece of the black hole generator is on this planet!"

"Okay, I'm gonna say it since I don't know if Mus would but I have a bad feeling about this.."

"Aubrey, don't be such a chicken!" Lena stuck her tongue out, while holding Preston.

"I'm serious Lena! I just have.. this dreadful feeling and I don't know why"

"Bunty, it'll be alright" Tony rubbed her shoulder, "You're just nervous"

"Mm.. but it's more than just a bad feeling Tony.."

The group got onto a smaller ship, each in their own individual seats, wearing their space suits, ignoring the obvious warning signs Aubrey was pointing out.

"Seriously, I feel sick"

"Aubrey, you're fine"

"Oh, there's a skull face popping up on my scanner! A skull face!! The obvious signs of pure evil!!"

"A skull is also used as a sign of death so.. yeah, Aubrey's got a point"

"Would you two relax! It's been a month since we've done anything interesting!"

"Professor, you believe me, right?! This planet is evil!"

"Oh nonsense, this plant is supposed to be a beautiful place!"

Shady turned towards Aubrey, who looked like was on the verge of popping her tiny head off.

"You look so much like your father right now" Shady mumbled, "It's going to be fine, princesa"

"No it won't"

"Yes, it will, you worry to much like your father"

".. maybe I am"

Shady looked at Tony, "Now Tony, remember what I've told you when your scientist partner starts rambling?"

"Um.. kiss them to make them shut up?"
