The weekend has dawned...

Alphonse: "Ready to show everyone?"

Everyone has gathered for the tech heads' unveil.

Isaac: "(yawning) Why so early?"

Jacob: "He actually had to wake up this morning."

Isaac: "Hey!"

Lucas: "So?"

LeeAnn pulls out a blueprint for a sort of transportation system.

Dr. LeeAnn: "This is our solution."

Everyone is confused.

Owen: "Say what now?"

James: "It's a device able to warp us back here from anywhere."

James pulls out a small computer chip.

James: "These chips are going to be placed in small watches and such with the help of this."

Alphonse pulls out a device familiar to some.

Eryth: "An Atom Arranger?!"

Alphonse: "We're still working on the main base for the return point."

LeeAnn puts the blueprints away.

Dr. LeeAnn: "So that way we don't have to worry about getting in the way of their daily lives."

Alphonse: "Also to make it so we can head straight for the man in charge."

Moment of silence...

Connor: "Whoa..."

Max: "I like the sounds of that!"

Anthony: "When will it be ready?"

James: "A week at the earliest. I can't overheat the Atom Arranger."

Tyler: "So we're just going to chill until then?"

Dr. LeeAnn: "Pretty much."

Cereza: "If you say so."

Cereza feels a little uneasy.

Ike: "Something wrong?"

Cereza: "I just don't think that the enemy is just going to twiddle their thumbs while we prepare to head to the heart."

Tori: "Please don't jinx it."

Risa: "I'm pretty sure anime logic says it's too late to not jinx it."

Diane: "I hope not."

Everyone heads for the buildings to get out of the sun.

However...

Horus: "So?"

The enemies have returned to their base.

Austin: "We did our job."

Their visibly injured.

Horus: "Guess they do pack a punch."

Lillian: "So what's the next plan?"

Horus thinks for a moment.

Horus: "The Solder Omega Program."

Ospinn: "You finished it?"

Horus pulls out a small, blue button from his jacket.

Horus: "Just now."

He pushes the button.

Damiax: "Any idea what the Creation energy does to them?"

Horus: "Only fight, no questions asked."

Soalious: "Sounds like quite the upgrade."

The enemies head for a medical bay to properly recover.

Horus: "(smirking) You have no idea."

Horus looks towards Dimension Leap.

Horus: "Only a few more adjustments and my Catalyst powers will awaken."

Horus walk away, with a twisted look in his cold eyes...
