3Below (Tales of Arcadia)

Chapter 54

Costas: are you sure we can trust Morando and his daughter?
Kubritz: if I had known you second-guess me, I would have left you in the accounting department
Costas: he lied to us once already, who's to say he won't lie to us again?
Kubritz: Morando will be ruling the universe and her daughter can split us all in half in a second...I don't want the earth to end up on its bad side
Costas: are you sure he has a good side?
Kubritz: why don't you ask him yourself?
Morando:*tap his head*
Costas:[gasps]
Lily: Are the preparations complete, colonel?
Kubritz: we're ready unless there's anything you like to say, Sergeant?
Costas: no, no, no, Colonel. I-I'm good
Omens:*carries the Gaylen's core*
Morando: the delson has finally come...ever since Seklos destroyed Gaylen, the universe has descended into chaos...it craves order
[deeping, hissing]
Morando: a firm hand to rule it..i'll be that hand *smirk* i'll be the god the galaxy has lacked
Lily: do it
[charging]
Soilder:*fire the laser at Gaylen's core*

Morando/Lily:[laughs]
Kubritz: the life core of Gaylen, my scientists told me it'll take several hours to integrate it with your biology
Morando: then we should begin now *touch Gaylen's core*
Lily: while my father transforming, we'll take Tarrons into custody...I want their cores to be the first to be devoured by my father. Do you have the location of the Tarrons?
Costas: n-no...everything's a dead
Lily: then plan B... I know how to draw them out *smirk*
----------------------------------------------------
Aja:...we failed, mama...Morando and Lily have Gaylen's core....we can't stop hi
Queen: we still have hope, we can still save the universe, and Morando and Lily
King have faith, my children, think of all you've both done without. You fought off bounty hunters, you've saved Varvatos from the moon, you can do this
Krel: you do know "this" is defeating a god, right?
King/Queen:*hold their hands*
Queen: then we need to find a way to defeat a god
Stuart: i'm on it, i'll decode the EllyDuc transcripts, review the iliac Mythos, and maybe piece together the Oxiom Gospels. Simple *walks to my computer*
Toby: wait, you have to do all that?
Stuart: what else is an intergalactic library card good for? [chuckles]
Toby: why don't we just stop Morando the way Seklos stopped Gaylen?

Vex was confused asking what it meant by that and said the light show in Trollmarket Seklos destroyed Gaylen with a, really, really big gun. "Seklos Cannon" "Good thought young Toby, but the cannon was destroyed during Seklos's battle with Gaylen we can't get anywhere" "But what if we built it? Hmm?" Toby shows them a picture he took of Gaylen and Seklo's battle image and Krel agrees. "this weapon looks fairly simple" Suddenly there was a bell and Stuart thought it was a customer and ran out, but when he saw who it was he stopped "it's not a customer!" they got out and saw it was Costas standing there "you're a fool to attack us without your fellow warriors, hoo-man!" Vex grabs him and swings him back and forth, but Costas can say he is on their side saying he has a change of heart. Aja told Vex to put him down and so he did by throwing him against the table "Colonel Kubritz has lost her mind. She sold out to Morando and Lily cause she thinks it's the best way to protect the earth from other aliens, sorry, extraterrestrials...but I think she made a deal with the devil and now they're making the devil into a god"
