Cold wind blew across the Dark Emerald coast, the loud sounds of Drills, Banging and Laser cutting, as large cranes and mechanical arms reached up and placed engines and metal sheets onto the hull of a giant, In construction metal ship, The sights of giant Storage containers with Foodstuffs and Life-supplies, Being slid into area's where they would be accessed when the ship takes off. This giant gaudy Ship was a waste of materials, being worked on by thousands of Sonic Supporters.


Slowly walking closer, roughly 12 clicks away, Samus would look at the sight of Gunship Absolution, Sighing as she arrived, Dressed in her Power Armor, clicking her Power Cannon in the ready position. Samus looked at the Gunship, her Visor starting to zoom closer and closer to the top brim of the ship, Watching Sonic, who was standing atop the Deck of the ship, Watching over the almost-completed giant machine, before returning deeper inside...


"Hopefully, This is the last time we need to fight among ourselves." Samus would of said, Looking back, as she then set down a Private Beacon, Sending out her co-ordinates to everyone who had signed up to this mission. Samus was deep in thoughts of planning, on how to get this victory.

---

"Hm...Guess this is where the real fight begins." Sonic would say, Staring out into the beaches of Dark emerald coast, Looking at a small device, which, was tracking Samus's Beacon, catching it silently. Sonic would hold it up to his ear. "Hey, Guards. Were expecting an army...Prepare to Divide and Conquer. I want Samus and Mario for myself." Sonic would say, as he walked inside. "Cant say i didnt expect this...Ought to be alot of fun." Sonic said, Smirking in silence...

[Mari]

As Samus set down the beacon, a thud could be heard from nearby! Hold up--Who else could be here so early, before she'd even given the call? "We can hope..." a familiar voice lamented without much optimism. There were always dumbies in need of setting aflame. It turned out that Arle had come here on her own! She slipped off of the giant flying squirrel she'd been riding and greeted Samus with a pleasant smile full of familiarity. "But between you and I, I've been looking forward to putting an end to this poser since I got here." Arle went on. She certainly seemed rather enthusiastic. Moving to take samus' side, she looked up to the other. "I've been watching the ship for a while now. I don't think they know I'm here." Arle went on to state, offering her intelligence. However, the implication was that she'd been waiting for an opportunity to attack and hadn't found it.

Arle Nadja

Not long later, a warp pipe appears and a familiar princess in pink leapt out of it! Quickly brushing off her skirt while she still had the benefits of an athletic performance to excuse her manners, she quickly stood upright and looked around. "--Oh! Arle. There you are. I've been wondering where you went!" Peach lightly scolded in concern, marching on over to the blue duo and flashing Samus a familiarly bright smile. "--Sorry. I didn't think I'd be gone for this long." Arle bashfully replied. ...Had she been gone this entire time since Peach told Samus' about her going missing back in the hospital? "Well... It's nice to see that you were in good hands." Peach softly relented with a little sigh, deciding not to baby Arle too much. She wasn't nearly as helpless as her cute appearance might suggest, a fact that Peach could definitely respect. Her gaze returned to Samus and she gave the other a knowing nod. She'd already given her full support in private earlier and planned to back up those words with force, as need be.

Paula flew towards the dark emerald coast, wearing her invisible mask so she doesn't have to breath in the toxic air that was said to be around the area. She looked down at the massive ship from below her and realised that she should lower herself so she can find Samus and the others. "Wow, I never expected Sonic to have made the ship so fast. We can't let this take off, countless lives will be in danger if people decide to stay on Li." Paula thought about what was going through Sonic's mindset during all of this? Did he know that he was going to get a lot of backlash? Does he know that he's going to leave tons of people to die on this planet if he succeeds in this plan?

No, Paula and everyone else in this mission are not going to risk losing everything because of Sonic's...Poor decision, they have to do something, even if it means they have to fight countless supporters of Sonic just to get to the hedgehog and get some sense into him. Paula felt butterflies in her stomach as she floated downwards, feeling as if...That this isn't really Sonic, this felt very out of character for him to do, it was like he was replaced with a clone or robot or something.

Paula wouldn't be surprised if that happened further in the mission.

Elsewhere, a figure soon snuck up from behind Samus and tugged on the shoulder of her armour...The figure was revealed to be Tomoko, who managed to reach the area of the coast safely thanks to a minor spell that will shield her from the toxic air of this area, she held her book. "You must be Samus Aran right?" She asked the woman in armour. "I'm Tomoko Obel...I just came to Li, and already I heard that someone is planning to blow it up, and just when I saw everything to demons to fake gods." Tomoko shrugged, annoyingly. She knew that this mission must be successful or else a fifteen year old hedgehog is going to kill them all!

Paula soon landed near the duo. "Good day everyone, how is the situation so far Miss Aran, do you see any entrance to the ship?" She asked as she turned to Samus while Tomoko looked at the giant space ship. "He and his followers made this in under a few weeks? I predict a few shady shortcuts here and there." Tomoko sounded suspicious. There's no way Sonic's work will be finished without a few accidents and destruction here and there.


The two girls soon saw Peach and Arle and smiled. "Glad you two came. It's great that were going to work together to teach Sonic a little lesson about making very poor decisions." She cheered to the princess and Arle. "Hi Peach from the light timeline and young girl who I keep seeing multiple versions of." Tomoko waved towards Peach and Arle.

[TheSpatialWeeg]

Well, lookie here! Rulue had joined the group a few moments later. How did she get here, though? 

The blue-haired maiden took her moment to stare at the ship in the distance before acknowledging the three figures she knew of the group. "Samus. Arle." she said, giving Samus a wave and Arle a quick peck on the cheek before turning to Peach. "...Your Majesty." Rulue continued, performing a cordial bow to the royal figure. Another turn around, this time to face Arle again. "...Don't hesitate to come after me if things get rough for you, okay?" She quietly requested to the mage.

And coming a bit after Rulue is Ms. Accord! The Primp Town's teacher had seldom appeared ever since her arrival, but it was safe to say she wasn't allowing Sonic to blow up the planet. She was still rebuilding her school, dang it! Calmly walking towards one of the Life Sphere Leaders, she went to announce her arrival by calling her attention "Leader Samus? I am Ms. Accord. I'm here to aid you in stopping Sonic." Ms. Accord didn't look like nothing much, but...appearances can be deceitful, can't they?

[Rina]

What's the ARS trio without the S? Up in the sky, a winged dark wizard is descending down from the rift he rended open to meet up with the rest of the resistance. With said wings used to ensure a safe landing and reverting back to a more appropriate form, he looked upon the ship and turned to the group. Especially in regards with Arle, Rulue and Samus. There is a familiar face in Peach and Paula, but not nearly as close. "Here we are once more. You're prepared for the worst, I presume."

Ah, but he's not alone. Normally Schezo's personal portal would accomodate for just himself. Jumping down right after the dark wizard is the comet warlock. He would've flown here on his own via broom, but this was more convenient for him. As laid back as he normally behaves, Lemres can't simply sit by and let this plan complete itself. The consequences outweigh the actual goal. Ah wait, Lemres has never met Samus in person, did he? "Leader Samus I presume? I've heard quite a bit of you through Schezo. I'm Lemres, here to help out your cause." Hmm, no candy. Seems the gravity of the situation outweighs pleasantries.

[heirtothemonado]

A cold wind whipped in Shulk's face as he flew across the sky on the back of his new partner, Articuno. Ever since Shulk had gotten home from climbing Icicle Peak with the Ice Climbers, the Freeze Pokémon had become attached to him. Perhaps it was because he still had it's Pokeball. Whatever the reason, Articuno had stuck around him, so at least he didn't have to walk everywhere anymore!

As Shulk closed in on the coordinates that Samus had sent him, he reflected on what he was doing. The Monado wielder hadn't really been involved with any politics on this planet so far, but when he heard Sonic's announcement, something in him went off. Shulk was no stranger to leaders abusing their authority, but to completely destroy the planet? No, Sonic had to be stopped right now.

Shulk soon spotted the group of people that had gathered on the beach, and he directed Articuno to land there. As Articuno landed, Shulk jumped off it. "Thanks Articuno. Now go somewhere you won't be spotted easily, but stay close. I'll call you if I need you." Shulk told the Ice bird. Articuno nodded slightly in understanding, and took off.

Turning to the group, Shulk introduced himself. "Miss Aran, correct? My name is Shulk, and I'm here to help you confront your fellow leader" he said. He didn't recognize anyone who had showed up so far, but he was confident that they could hold their own.

---

Meanwhile......

Rundas surfed toward the darkened coast, also deep in thought about this mission. Sonic had seemed alright when they had fought Black Shadow together. Maybe a bit cocky, but not all that malicious. Something doesn't seem right. Rundas put those thoughts aside for now, for he was approaching the group as well. Rundas took a sharp dive, and dropped a few feet away.

As he walked forward, Rundas took note of both Peach and Schezo in the group of fighters. Looks like he wasn't the only one from First to Fall and Last to Lead who wanted a piece of the action. The other faces he didn't recognize, but he didn't pay them much mind as he walked toward Samus.

"Samus, I'm here to help out." Rundas said. He didn't know why Sonic was doing what he was doing, but he only knew that he had to be stopped. For everyone's sakes.

"TOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSST-"
A screaming blur, sounding oddly similar to a speeding ambulance, burst past the group maybe moments after they had all begun arriving. If tinges of red and black weren't so off, the figure could possibly be mistaken for Sonic... Maybe it was Shadow?

Kicking up dirt cloud around the individuals while the figure tried his best to figure out how to stop, it didn't take long before a stray rock jutting out of the ground caused a massive explosion of soil as they tripped. No longer able to turn, the figure bore a scar into the ground several meters towards the Gunship Absolute before finally coming to a complete stop, already buried a meter or so down by the force of the fall.

...

...

...

"No one help me or anything.... I'm fine..." A disheveled and cracking voice sounded from the crevice as the now azure-less boy crawled back up, covered in dings and bruises. Yes, it was indeed the person they had all not been waiting for, Shiya Kirigaya! The Hero and alleged convicted criminal of the Life Sphere! "'Gotta go fast'... Catchy phrase. HORRIBLE advice!" An odd departure from his normal entrances, where the youth would arrive struggling to breathe and drowning in a pool of sweat and tears after walking to whatever obscure location the mission would be held in; this time, Shiya tried experimenting with one of his copied weapons to try and lighten the burden of travel... and as always seems to be the case, experimenting with the Monado's many features had not ended well.

Rolling onto his back with the aforementioned scarlet blade caste to the ground next to him, Shiya's eyes flitted about, trying to recognize his teammates currently there. "Oh... Hey... Blarle... Mario, Crappy-sword guy, Samus.... Giant bird thing.... guy that broke into my house. Looks like the gang's all here." It was hard to tell whether he was being sarcastic, or still reeling from the fall. Either way, after pushing himself back up onto his feet, using the Monado as support, the mage set his gaze upon the real reason he was here. Giant, sleek, capable of blowing up a planet; the Gunship Absolution! "I-It's beautiful." He whispered, wiping away a tear as his brain was already in high-gear trying to think how long it'd take to copy such a destructive construction. Was he even capable of something like that!?

...Eh, no harm in trying, right?

Meanwhile, by contrast a lot more discreet than the others, Rookie the Wolf swung down on his grappling hook from a ledge; performing a small flip mid-air before landing softly onto the ground next to Samus. [So these are the Life Sphere's Leaders...] Rookie pondered in his mind, glancing sideways at Mario for a good few moments before clearing his throat. Best to introduce himself now. "I'm Rookie. I'll try to help this mission however way I can." Speaking lax, yet quick, the wolf directed his gaze back out towards the massive behemoth-of-a-ship being constructed in front of them. So it was really true what Sonic was doing... "I can't believe it..."

[Deleted]

The darker themed princess arrived on the scene shortly after a few others. Her eyes wee wide in surprise to the giant ship just over them in what looked to be a docking bay. The loud noises indicated that it was still being worked on and while the woman closed in she found herself stopping so she could carefully weave through people to get to the front. 'So this...is what I have missed,' she thought in mild shock. Her expression was that of both concern and confusion. Her arrival to Li was a bit later than she liked yet she still could make a difference if she made the effort. Even if these people weren't the ones she knew it didn't matter. She'd protect Mario and all of the others she had grown to know and love in her own universe.

In her heart Dark Peach still felt that there was a way to resolve this- a compromise just hidden behind anger and disagreements. As a whole our people were to agree to disagree yet...this is what it has lead to. If this were to become a war zone there were more people at risk...of course the whole planet was at risk if the ship should take off. There had to be a way...there had to be!

She didn't speak and neither did RG Bowser Jr. but her expression spoke volumes. Dark Peach didn't like where this was going.

[Coolshaymin]

While the others gathered in one spot, Mario and Eggman were still a bit from the crowd, looking over the situation. He was really getting help to build this death machine after all. There was no denying Sonic's intentions when looking at it this close. The beacon should be set up soon by Samus to call the others to her location. "I still-a can't believe Sonic is doing all-a this..." Mario noted solemnly as he looked at the ship, sitting on the Eggmobile's rim. "I know, right? I build machines of mass destruction and I am the bad guy that needs stomping. He builds it and he thinks he's the hero. As I said, either Sonic has gone insane, it's too late for him, or he is an imposter. Either way, you know what we must do," Robotnik stated as he inputted data into the Eggmobile to which Mario just simply nodded. To think, he was working alongside the arch rival of one of his friends to take down his friend. This was going to be a tough fight but they can not risk losing everything and the plumber had other stakes than losing the planet... Losing Sonic. As much as they argued, he did use to like the blue blur and loved to compete with him... This just felt wrong though...

Eggman's Eggmobile soon came down alongside the others, to which Mario hopped off and looked to the group. Great, looks like they had a strong force to deal with Sonic. A large portion of people from the final showdown with Black Shadow and more heroes, both prominent and fresh... And the other Peach. Mario looked to her and she seemed concerned. "Don't-a worry, Princess. I just need to make that hedgehog wake up and see how mad he's gotten," the plumber took off his cap with a spin as he directed this to the Dark Peach before turning to Samus. "Me and-a Eggman are back from recon. Looks like he is-a preparing himself," the plumber said to the other leader. She was probably going to be better at making a plan than he was. The red man was more skilled at going with the flow than making plans.

"It's you!" Eggman looked around before noticing the most familiar face other than the leaders and Shulk. "I did not think I would see any of Sonic's little pals here... Well, except maybe Knuckles. Still, I guess someone else had to see Sonic's madness for himself, huh? Or it could just be Infinite. Still not entirely sure how that Phantom Ruby works. Anyhoo, looks like we will be working together for this one, Rookie. Try not to break MY machines by mistake, hm?" the Doctor advised the rookie as he moved around in his signature vehicle.

	High in the solemn skies above the Dark Emerald Coast, the clouds parted to herald the descent of a divine figure. Draped in a white toga and ornate with gold banded gear, the figure’s wings flapped swiftly, diving across the sky. “Pee-Yew! What smells like big business?” Pit the angel gagged at the Dark Emerald Coast’s distinct odour. “It might the pollution that infected this once beautiful coastline… Or the giant construction site up ahead.” The goddess Palutena deduced, communicating telepathically from her palace in the sky. “It’s Enormous!” Pit gasped upon emerging from behind thick smoggy clouds and catching his first sight the Gunship Absolution’s construction site. “But not quite big enough, Pit: This gunship will only evacuate a few of Sonic’s closest followers and then, all the rest of Li will be destroyed by it.” Palutena warned grimly. “But why? Look at it! It’s so big!” Pit asked in confusion at such a plan. “You could fit two of every creature on Li on that thing!”
	“I can’t help but be reminded of that one human who built a wooden ark and did just that, for a much more noble cause.” Palutena reminisced nostalgically. Who knew that one day a hedgehog would repeat the endeavour with such corrupted intentions. “Was that guy like the world’s first Pokémon Master?” “Well there weren’t as many Pokémon back Then, but he did Catch ‘Em All…” Palutena coined the catch phrase. “Back to the matter at hand, Pit. We have to shut down the construction of this gunship immediately!” She firmly resolved. “Aye aye! With a big can of Anti-Aircraft Spray, right?” Pit suggested, waving his weapon of choice like a bug spray can. “Perfect for all your pesky Space Pirate Ships, Reset Bomb Depots, Lunar Sanctums and Aurum Hives!” “Normally I’d agree with you, Pit. But this is not the kind of mission that calls for our usual tactics. Luckily Samus Aran has a plan to take both Sonic and his metal barge down once and for all." “So… No Anti-Aircraft Spray?” Pit asked with a twinge of disappointment. “…We’ll let her decide. You’re almost at the beaconed rendezvous point. Prepare for landing!” Palutena cut her anecdote short to change the gears on Pit’s wings and commence landing protocol.
	Landing protocol of course meant bracing and hoping Pit landed on his feet this time. He didn’t. “A sure lot of people showed up.” Pit whistled as he dusted himself off, hoping nobody saw that. “There may be strength in our numbers yet.” Palutena proposed optimistically. “Now find your way to Samus Aran and tell her-” “Shiya! Rundas! Schezo! You guys all made it!” Pit cheerfully greeted his First-To-Fall mates. “You fellas ready for another raid?” “Focus, Pit. You can greet your army buddies After you’ve checked in with Sam-” “Mario! It’s-a you!” Palutena could only sigh wistfully. “Have you seen Samus around here?”
	After being pointed to the bounty huntress in charge, Pit promtply marched up to her. “Sorry to keep you waiting. Miss Samus Aran, I am Pit, Captain of the Guard to Palutena, Goddess of Light and protector of humanity.” Pit formally saluted to her. “She has sent me as her ambassador of support to your mission.  …She also says hi.”

As soon as the group was gathered, a large gateway to the Astral Plane opened up and the demonic Gargoyle God known as Gargos stepped out into the area, looking down and noticing the group, Gargos used his reality warping powers on himself to match the height of Samus without being too much of a magnum OPAF before speaking. He wasn't alone in this endeavor either as an even more ominous chill pervaded the area.

"Hopefully I can get some fun in playing Badass alongside all of you." Gargos said calmly, though he was evil he only did his evil when he wanted to, and stuck to his lair the rest of the time whilst conducting research on ways to make this planet evolve. Gargos looked rather bored and seeing Sonics declaration of wanting to destroy the planet he wanted to make evolve as a very definite threat; how can demigod-class being like Gargos make the planet grow and evolve if there IS no planet... These thoughts made the demonic Gargoyle God boil with anger so fierce that it was palpable enough to make anyone a little worried about what might happen.

The invisible presence would make itself. Known only to the people as that ominously dread chill as his mere presence in physical form would be much more terrifying if he had done so... He would merely speak up an idea that came to mind however. "I think we should be very cautious if sonic is aided by someone from behind the scenes. That and going all out would be close to suicide if the rodent goes super."

[Dragon Knight Volga]

With the news that the imbecilic rodent planned on destroying his home, Volga was more than eager to fry Sonic. He liked the idea of destroying the ship, too. The Dragon Knight swiftly flew towards Samus and the others, dropping out of the sky in a shower of cinders. Volga's grip on his Dragon Spear tightened. He regarded the others with mild impatience, a puff of smoke escaping his mouth. 

[PolarStarQuote]

Samus's face definitely showed quite a bit of excitement, smiling wide as, The sight of Arle And Peach both made her smile, Feeling Warmth in her heart and a few butterflies in her tummy. Samus nodded to Arle's words. "Dont worry Arle. Im sure with all of us, We will stop this before it even has a chance to get worse." Samus said, turning her smile to Peach. "And, of course, with Proper motivation." She would say, Turning around to see...Oh, Wow. T-thats an entire army!

"Ill explain the situation when everyone is here Paula. Just be sure you and Tomoko are ready for resistance." Samus would say, Patting both of there heads as she then turned to look at Rulue. Ohhh, Arle's Girlfriend, from the Terrarium Simulation. Samus noted the old friend, But, Mrs Accord...This was someone she was unfamiliar with. "More the merrier. " Samus said, Smiling as she turned to the sight of Schezo Wegey, another familiar face, and Lemres, another Unfamiliar face...


"Preparing for the worst is what i do best, Schezo." She would say, smiling as she saw Shulk and Rundas. Shulk was a Unknown face to her, but Rundas...Rundas was a true Ally. Samus enjoyed the warmth this ironically cold friend gave her. "Good. Prepare for a Fight, We'll...?" Samus was stopped, as a Mister Shiya would slam into the dirt in a burst of speed, Causing samus to loose track of thought as she watched the crazy man rant to himself, before calling the Airship absolution...Beautifull?

"...If the possible end of the world is Beautiful to you..." She said, As Rookie would come next. Rookie is his name? Thats, Erm...Inspiring. Though, a Bit of confusion would hit Samus, as the sight of another peach appeared, Making her double take between the two Peach's. "Ah...A Doppleganger?" Samus asked, her Visor scanning the Peach(Q), Only to confirm she was a genuine version of Peach, and not a trick of the X Parasite's.  Two butts may be better than one?


Speaking of Mushroom Kingdom residents, Samus's fellow leader, Mario Mario and Eggman would arrive in a group, as Eggman would begin to flail something fierce at Rookie, as mario explained the situation. "I see...Thanks." Samus would say to Mario as he finished his recon Report. Who else...

Ah, Pit. And uhm...His goddess. Right. "Pit." She would say, remembering him from First to fall and Last to lead, smiling. "Glad to see you here...And, Hi to her as well, i guess." She said, Before looking to...Hm. Samus can tell a presence is there. Flick goes the X-ray Visor and, ah, yes, there it is. Grim reaper. Samus pointed at Death. "Quit hiding. Your freaking me out." Samus said, not quite willing to play Death's game of Hide and seek.

(Death! You got revealed by Samus's X-ray visor, and now everyone knows your there. You aint invisible no more.)


And then, A Draconian Knight, Wielding a Spear and a Flaming breath would top off the last of Samus's small army...She had to admit. she felt safe already. She was ready to explain the situation.




"Allright, Everyone! The plan is as such." Samus said, tapping the side of her helmet, as her visor displayed a holographic map of the entire ship of Absolution as it was currently. "The entire hull of the ship is massive, Well over a few hundred miles. Attempting to go through the entire ship in one group is Suicide. So, Here's my Proposition. We will split up into Teams of Three."


"Squad One will consist of Me, Arle, Peach, Rulue, Mrs Accord, Schezo and Lemres. We will begin by using my gunship to fly overhead, and drop onto the Deck of the ship, and take a direct path into the Captains center, to try and begin a direct encounter with Sonic. Im expecting heavy Resistance here, But these will be high level, Singular enemies, as opposed to massive forces that work on the lower floor. Which brings me to..."


"Squad Two, Volga, Paula, Tomoko, Rundas, Shulk, Gargos and the Skeleton will enter the construction on the far west side of the ship, And draw attention to themselves by attacking security there. This will help Squad's one and Three be able to succeed in there goals much easier than needing to fight the entire force in one swoop.  Its a dangerous mission, However, i already assigned for E. Gadd to prepare additional forces to help aid you, and make sure your all protected."

"And finally, Squad Three. Mario, Eggman, Shiya, Rookie, Peach(Q) and Pit, I have a special task for you. You are you head into the direct inside of the ship, and head deeper Into the Main Engine Control. Encase sonic decides to go and start the ship while were inside, your job is to go in and stop the engine control. This will also stop any weaponry that could be used against Squad Two and Squad One on the ship."


Samus would nod, Looking at the group, Beginning to help everyone separate into proper groups, as her Gunship would slowly descend close by for Squad One. "Remember everyone...Every single living person on Li counts on our success here. Failure isnt an option...This is for Life Itself. We Will Win" She would say, before giving a Salute to everyone, Before entering the Gunship, Expecting Squad One to follow her.

Paula and Tomoko listened to Samus and didn't move an inch when she patted them on the heads. Paula even smiled, while Tomoko smiled and blushed as more and more people arrived. Paula was relieved that there was a lot of people who hated Sonic's idea, well Shiya seemed to like the ship, which annoyed Tomoko. "That "Beautiful" thing is going to kill us all if we don't do anything about it." Tomoko reminded Shiya, grunting soon after as the last of the large group appeared, well the group was going to split soon but still.

Tomoko looked surprised when she saw Death, she expected him to be a little bit bigger and powerful...And called the Reaper. Oh well, this was a different universe so maybe this is a more civil version of death. "I don't see what's the point of hiding anyway. I have a feeling were going to get noticed due to how big this group is." Tomoko crossed her arms and nodded to Death. "By the way, did you used to be called Reaper or is that an alternate name of yours?" She asked. Paula then turned towards Samus, as did Tomoko, as she gave out the plans for the mission.

It seems the girls were going to be paired with Volga, Shulk, Rundas, Gargos and Death for most of the mission, making sure the possible brainwashed security had there hands full trying to fight off the group. Paula nodded as Samus titled dropped the name of the site i'm currently typing out this post on.

"We won't let you down Miss Aran. If things go well, then Li will still stand for another day, even if it means having a leader step down due to his reckless actions." Paula sadly nodded. She really, really, hoped the group would find out that it wasn't really Sonic, or else even if the mission is a success. Paula is worried that it might affect the entire Life Sphere somehow.

As everyone got ready to depart, Paula began to float again and turned towards Tomoko, Shulk, Rundas, Gargos, Volga & Death. "You all ready? We should get to security as fast as possible so the other two squad's won't have that much difficulty later in the mission." Paula asked the group. Tomoko nodded.

"Ready when you are to save this planet from a teenage hedgehog." Tomoko smiled to Paula, ready to make the short journey to the construction site.

[Mari]

Surrounded by her favorite people, on the only mission with its priorities straight since she got here, Arle could only sheepishly grasp at her cheek after being greeted with a kiss and bashfully smile with appreciation for the moment. "I feel stronger just having you with me~" Arle remarked rather cheekily, winking knowingly at the other. Rulue knew what she was referring to.




Meanwhile, Princess Peach would lightly bow her head to Rulue in turn. "Lady Rulue." Peach replied with a bright smile. And then, she took a moment to seek out her friends in the other groups before they got started. First, Paula. "It is wonderful to see you again, Paula~" Peach remarked, bending over to give the smaller girl a hug. "I'd like to wish you the best of luck. I do also wish I could fight by your side, but I would like you to have this--in hopes that it might keep you safe even when we part ways." Peach went on to lament and offer, moving to give Paula a Franklin Badge!

And then--Dark Peach. She stood before the other and just kinda smiled like a dork. "I am glad to see so many heroes and heroines here~! And for those who have not had the time to get adjusted, I would like to offer you a tiny gift to help make sure you come back to us okay." Peach explained, holding out a super mushroom to Dark Peach!



Finally, Arle moved to take Rulue's hand and join Samus. They had work to do.
