OP – Mercy Drive – Burn in my Light
-----
He could not believe he was able to get this day off, not that he was going to miss it for the world. He was always there for his niece’s birthday and he wasn’t going to stop now. Before he could get out of there though the Chief made him double check the gear in the trunk of his car. For some reason regulations demanded that personnel’s private vehicles should be filled with the same standard equipment, flares, barricade markers things like that. Ken questioned it the moment it was brought to his attention but Hawk wouldn’t budge on that one. “If you’re going to be part of this organization then you’re going to have to follow the rules like everyone else,” he said. It was a pain in the ass but nobody was going to say he wasn’t a team player. Besides they let him fill up his tank for free in the garage he’ll carry around some unwanted equipment.
“Everything checks out Scott,” the Chief said as he put the last marker back in it’s holder in the trunk. And he checked every single one too, he was doing this on purpose. “You are good to go.”
“Thank you sir,” Ken ripped off his uniform jacket and threw it in the trunk. Slamming the hood down he added, “Don’t let me stop you if you have anything important to do.”
“Humph,” he grunted as he walked away and was soon barking at somebody else for doing something wrong.
“So glad I wasn’t assigned down here now,” Ken muttered.
“I thought you would have been out of here by now,” he looked up to see Jess and Captain Hawk walk up to him. For some reason the Captain had his hands behind his back.
“No need o see me off,” he said as he opened the trunk back up to toss the wrist scanner in there. “I promise I’ll be back, maybe.”
“I can’t let you go just yet son,” Hawk said. “You forgot something important.”
“Oh no you don’t,” Ken quickly told him. “I didn’t forget anything. I filled out all the paperwork in triplicate. I crossed all the ‘Ts’ and dotted every ‘I’. I just spent the last twenty minutes…”
Pulling a wrapped present from behind his back he asked, “Are you sure about that?”
Ken looked at it for a few moments before saying, “I knew that.” Taking the gift he placed in the passenger seat with a little more care than he did his jacket and scanner.
“Don’t feel bad Ken,” Jess spoke up. “Bill was in such a hurry to get out of here once he forgot his suitcase when he went on vacation.”
“That sounds like something Dr. Williams would do,” he commented.
“You don’t want to know what he left behind,” Hawk smirked. “Now what are you standing around here for? You got a party to go to. Get out of here and enjoy it and that’s an order.”
“Sir yes sir,” he saluted as he got in the car. Jess waved goodbye as he pulled out of his spot and was soon out of there.

In the control room the section that was connected to the various orbital satellites was busy as usual. An early theory that popped up when the creatures first started to appear was that they were alien in origin. Nothing was ever recorded to prove that theory but there were still people who insisted that communication with these things be made to see what they wanted, particularly with Ultraman. One person in particular was at trying hard to stay awake at his station, unfortunately busy as usual meant boring as hell. His eyelids starting to droop so he almost missed the blip on the screen in front of him. Waking up fully he saw it again and a third time said it was getting closer. “Bridge,” he called out, “I think I have something.”
“I’m putting it up on the big screen now,” he announced. In moments the satellite readings were up for everyone to see. “Too far away to be one of ours,” Bridge commented. “Check the star charts and see if it’s a comet or something. I’ll check the records to see if this was launched before the UNDF became active.”
“On it,” he said as he brought up the database. Bridge worked diligently until he found the old launch records while the other tried to match up the object’s trajectory with the ones they already had on file. Several minutes went by before he spoke up again, “It’s not an orbit we have on file.”
Bridge looked back saying, “And I have nothing on file that’s supposed to be coming back on this path.”
Another person asked, “Did you guys discover something new?”
“It’s possible,” Bridge conceded.
The first one grinned, “It’d be sweet if we did.”
“Not if it’s a planet killer,” a fourth voice pointed out.
“Killjoy,” the first one told her.
“We’ll keep an eye on it for now,” Bridge said. I’ll send it to the astronomy guys to work on it in a little more detail, and to make sure it’s not coming this way.” He looked back at the guy who first picked it up, “With a note saying you get naming rights if it is something new.” The guy started grinning as he went back to his station. Although had to admit to a little bit of jealousy, having your name on an asteroid, or whatever it was, would be kind of cool.

Even if Ken didn’t know where he was going all he had to do was look for the balloons. Janet went all out when it came to birthdays. Hopefully that wouldn’t change anytime soon. Already some kids were running around the yard and a few of the adults waved as he pulled up. He waved back seeing Rose and some of the others from the garage as he got out of the car. One little brown haired girl in particular stopped what she was doing as soon as she saw him and ran toward him, “Uncle Ken!”
“Hey birthday girl,” he said scooping her up. “How’s my favorite niece?”
Rose was close enough to hear him and of course had to say something, “And what if your brother and sister-in-law have another girl?”
Not missing a beat he replied, “Then I’ll have two favorite nieces.”
“You can’t have two favorite nieces,” Nicole informed him.
Ken countered with, “You can have two favorite anything. You can have two favorite book, two favorite songs, two favorite flavors of ice cream. Speaking of which mine happens to be strawberry and butter pecan. And if you have either one I’m going to be diving in spoon first.” Putting Nicole down he took her hand and headed for the party. The brown haired little girl stood fast and looked back at the car.
She looked up at him and asked, “Where is it?”
Playing dumb he asked, “Where’s what?”
“You know.”
“Am I not good enough for you?”
“Uncle Ken,” she whined.
Smiling a bit he told her, “Check the front seat.” With a smile on her face she quickly retrieved the gift. Now she headed to the party with him.
“Nicole,” a woman with the same brown hair called out. “Put that with the others. And your friends are waiting for you so you guys can finish that game.”
“Okay mom,” she said and hurried off. The woman came up to him and hugged him.
“I’m happy you came.”
“Do you think I’m going to miss the big oh eight?”, he joked. “How are you guys doing Janet?”
“We’re doing,” she answered. “My hours have finally picked up so that helps out a lot.”
“That’s good to hear, you know I worry about you guys.”
“Look who bothered to show up.” Ken resisted rolling his eyes as his brother came out of the house. With a beer in his hand Ken couldn’t help but wonder how many of those he had so far. “Come to show me up with some outlandish gift from the money from your government job?”
“Don’t worry Jeff,” he said trying to keep his tone even, “I made sure you don’t look bad when the gifts are opened.”
Rose commented, “He did enough of that back at the garage.”
“Now you listen here…,” he began starting to get a little loud.
An older woman with streaks of gray just showing in her hair quickly got involved before he could say anything else, “Jeff why don’t you go check on those burgers.” He walked off mumbling something about it being his house. She turned toward Rose, “And you know better than to get him started like that. You’re not my daughter but that won’t stop me from knocking some sense into you.”
“Yes ma’am,” she said going over to help Janet with the kids and their game.
Then the woman looked at Ken, “Now let me get a look at you and make sure everything on you is in one piece.”
“I’m fine mom,” he said hugging here. “Everything is where it’s supposed to be.”
“You will not believe how many years I lost when I found out you were on one of those units that takes on those monsters.”
“It was a surprised to me too mom, it’s not like I asked to be put on it.”
“How… close do you get to those things?”
“Well this is a no win,” he said. “I tell you and you’ll hit me, I don’t and you’ll hit me.”
“Don’t get smart with wise guy,” she playfully slapped him on the side of the head as they joined the rest of the party.

Peter was surprised by the sudden summons by his masters, a sudden urge to get up and leave what he was doing. He hated it when they did that, especially when he was in a UNDF board meeting or something else of importance. He was starting to run out of excuses to get away when the sensation came. Obviously his masters still didn’t appreciate the position he was in, or they didn’t particularly care despite the many times he brought it up. Still he came when they called since he wouldn’t put it past them to just show up where he was if he ever decided to ignore the summons. And wouldn’t that be fun to try and get out of. “You are late Avatar,” the voice in the vortex said.
“Try giving me a little more warning in the future,” he said adjusting the cuff of his shirt. Like always they ignored his complaint. “So what sort of creature are you sending through this time?”
“We are sending nothing,” the voice said. Now this was a surprise his masters weren’t usually prone to social calls. “Thanks to the contacts we have made in your universe we have learned that something of interest has just come into range of your planet.” Inside the vortex the image changed to show him an asteroid floating in space.
“A giant floating rock,” he said and not impressed. “Like the last hunk of rock you gave me worked so well.”
“Not just any ‘floating rock’ Avatar,” one of his master said while coming back into view. “This one contains something special, the monster Makeena.”
“And a long as we don’t infect it with dark energy it shouldn’t alert our giant friend,” Peter said fully appreciating this hunk of rock now.
“Exactly, however there is a problem. Right now it will pass your planet. You need to change it’s path so that it will be caught in your planet’s gravitational pull.”
“And how do you expect me to do that?”, Peter demanded. “Fly out there and give it a push?”
The energy around the vortex pulsated briefly, “Belligerence will not be tolerated Avatar!”
“My sincerest apologies my masters,” he said with a slight bow, but not really meaning it. “But it is a rather daunting task.”
“We will create a portal near the creature. You will use the power we gave you to move it closer through said portal. We will close the portal once it is on the correct path.”
“Oh is that all?”, Peter said dryly. The view in the portal once again changed to that of the creature harmlessly floating in space. Building up his power from within he held out his hands and shot the portal with the dark energy given to him. In space it enveloped the creature through a larger portal. Preparing himself for a moment he put all his dark energy into changing it’s path toward the planet. He sweated from the strain before the view went away. Stopping the beam he dropped to his knees in exhaustion.
“It is done,” his masters said. “Before long it will collide with your planet.”
“Lovely,” Peter said stretching his neck, feeling the strain of that task on every inch of his body. “Hopefully I won’t fall asleep through it.

At that time Ken was talking to Janet and some of the guys from the garage when the sensation Dax was suddenly feeling hit him like a ton of bricks. Looking around he eventually looked up at the sky. Janet looked concerned, “Are you alright Ken?”
“I’m fine,” he said covering it up. “I just thought I heard something.”
“With all the freaks you come across I’d be a little jumpy too,” John joked.
“I’m going to head to the little boy’s room,” he told them. “I’ll be right back. Don’t start eating that cake without me.” Inside he made sure he was alone before saying, “What the hell was that?”
Inside him Dax answered, “I do not know.”
***
“It moved,” Bridge said as he and the other in the room looked at the new reading astronomy sent them. The object had definitely changed it’s trajectory, there was no way that could had happen.
Out of all that was going on Bridge had one main concern, “How close is it going to come to the planet?”
After a couple of quick calculations he got his answer, “It’s going to hit us.”
“Oh shit,” somebody muttered.
“Now what?”, Bridge demanded.
“It’s speeding up. Impact in less than two minutes!”
Bridge hit his communicator immediately, “Captain Hawk to the control room now!”
***
Ken tried to play off the sudden sensation Dax had sent him, God he was lucky Jeff wasn’t around at that particular moment. He hadn’t gotten anything since but it didn’t make either him or Dax any less nervous. Still he tried to not let it affect the party, always deflecting things back to the kids or the party when anybody asked him. And he definitely avoided any UNDF questions. Yeah he was supposed to be a representative all the time, but he was off the clock and at his nieces’ party so he didn’t particularly care at the moment. Besides as long as Jeff stayed about twenty feet away he was enjoying himself. “Uncle Ken!”, Nicole called out. “Your car is beeping!”
“Nicole stay away from there!”, Janet shouted at her. “I’m sorry Ken I don’t know what she set off but…”
He frowned, “I think I know what it is. And if I’m right she didn’t set it off.”
“Base checking in on you?”, Rose asked.
“Something like that.” This had better be good he thought to himself. Putting the key in the trunk lock somebody said something that caught his attention.
“What the hell is that?”
Looking up he say something in the sky too, something big and looked like it was on fire and looked like it was fire. It took him a moment to realize it was coming down, and right at them. “Oh shit,” he muttered. He looked at the rest of them just standing around looking at it. “Down!”, he shouted. “Everybody get down now!” Parents were covering their kids as they did what he ordered. “Come on mom,” he said running toward her, “I’ll help you down.”
“Is it going to…?”
“I’ll let you know in a moment,” he cut her off. Getting her to the ground he kept an eye on the object. Of all the times to leave the Spark Magnifier in the trunk. Dax silently agreed with him. When it looked like it was going to hit he covered his mom and ducked his head. Then nothing, there was a strong warm breeze that wasn’t there before momentarily but not what he was expecting. He and a couple of others looked up and saw a dull grey, rocky meteor standing upright in a field across the street. “The fuck?”, he whispered.
“Get down,” Jeff mocked.
“Not now,” he snapped.
“What does that mean?”, his mom asked.
“That I’m back on the clock.” Running over to his car he opened the trunk and quickly put on his uniform jacket. He was in such a rush that with his eyes on the meteor he failed to see the Spark Magnifier fall out of the pocket as he put it on. Jeff, however, saw it fall out. “Scott to Castle.”
“Scott!”, Hawk practically yelled over the line. “Where the hell were you?! We had an unknown object on an impact trajectory with the planet. It just crash landed a few moments ago.”
“I’m aware of that Captain I’m looking right at it.”
“Bridge?”, Hawk asked.
“His communicator indicates he’s in the vicinity of the object,” he quickly answered.
“Okay Ken you’re the point man for this until we get mobilized. Do you remember the proper procedure for this?”
“Vaguely,” he admitted as he strapped on the wrist scanner. “I’m supposed to cordon off the area with those markers you make me carry right.”
“Right,” Hawk responded, “and there’s a basic scanner package in them. We’ll pick up the readings as soon as you activate them. Call back once you do.”
“Right, Scott out.” He looked at the others, “Sorry guys but the party has to be rescheduled.”
“You can’t do that!”, Jeff protested. Nicole quickly agreed with him.
“Jeff it’s the smart thing to do,” Janet told him “we can always get things going again later.”
Pulling his ponytail out from the jacket collar he pulled the markers out and slung them over his shoulder. “If you can’t get out of here make sure the kids don’t get anywhere near that thing.” As he headed off Jeff went back to the thing that fell out of his coat, wondering exactly how important it exactly was.
Ken was wondering what he was going to do about the traffic that had stopped between him and the object once he saw the situation. Well on the upside he didn’t have to worry about being run over. Fortunately a couple of police cars were in the group as the officers tried to get the people moving. Getting the attention of one of them he waved him over as he crossed through the jam. “I don’t have time to argue. I’m part of the UNDF,” he showed him the identification card they gave him for situations such as this, not that he ever thought he’d actually get to use it. “I need you guys to keep these guys away from that thing, totally away from here if possible. There some ground vehicles coming in and they’re going to have to get into position to surround that thing”
“We’ll do what we can sir.”
“Wow, you just called me sir. That’s never happened before. Call in back up if you have too.”
“My partner’s doing that now.”
“Great, see if you can get some volunteers from the crowd while you’re at it.” Okay was that the right thing to say? There had to be some civically minded ex-military guys in this mess somewhere right? Ken made his way through the crowd with some assist from the police. Checking his wrist scanner for any radiation spikes he got a few yards away for it to be in maximum scanner range before planting the first one into the ground. Looking at the size of this things and the rest of the marker, “Yeah this is going to take awhile.”
***
“And so far this hasn’t been all that impressive,” Peter remarked as he watched the Makeena through a vortex.
“Patience Avatar,” his master said. “The creature is just acclimating itself to the atmosphere. The process takes time.”
“And if I speeded up the process it’ll draw out our giant friend,” Peter added. “You obviously don’t need me here at the moment so I’ll take my leave and head back to Castle.” The vortex closed without another word. Exiting the cave he looked around as he called his secretary, “This is Brooks, I understand there’s a situation going on. I want to be kept up to date on what’s happening.”
***
Finally getting the last one set he used his wrist scanner to make sure everything was set before turning them on. A small blue laser line emitted from the top and connected each marker before fading out of sight. He was about to contact Castle when he noticed somebody coming right at him. More specifically Jeff and the cop from earlier right on is tail, “Get him out of here!”
“I have every right to be here as you do,” he shot back.
The officer got between them, “Sir I’m going to have to insist that you head back.”
“He lives across the street,” Ken told the officer. “Carry him back if you have to.”
“Don’t listen to him,” Jeff interjected, “this moron is just a mechanic.”
“That may be sir but this mechanic has enough authority to have you arrested if he wanted to.”
“Now listen to the nice police officer and head back home,” Ken told Jeff. He snorted before turning around before turning around and storming off as the officer made sure he did head back home. Ken turned around, mainly to hide the smile on his face, “That felt way too good to be healthy. Scott to Castle.”
“Took you a bit longer than necessary to call in son,” Hawk answered.
“Had a slight crowd control problem,” he said. “You guys getting this?”
“Loud and clear Ken,” Bridge answered.” As they spoke Jeff hurried over to Ken’s car. Not realizing Nicole was watching him he picked up the thing Ken dropped and pocketed it with a satisfied smirk.
“Let’s see how Mister High and Mighty starts acting when he doesn’t have this.”
“Can you describe what you’re seeing Ken?”, Hawk asked.
“What’s to describe?”, he asked back. “It’s big, it’s rocky, it landed….” He knelt down to get a better look at the ground underneath it.
After a couple of moments Hawk spoke up, “Don’t go quiet on me now son. What are you seeing?”
“I might be wrong about this but everything I learned in high school and saw in disaster movies said this thing should have left a huge ass crater, it least it should have dug a trench in the ground. It barely made a dent from what I can see.”
Looking at Bridge Hawk covered his communicator just long enough to say, “I’m going to turn him into one of us yet.” Removing his hand he went on, “That’s usually the case Ken, any ideas on what’s going on?”
“I’m not sure. This thing was coming in pretty fast from what I saw. It’s almost like… no that’s too crazy to say out loud.”
“After everything we’ve seen so far?”, Hawk countered. “Come on son what’s going on in that head of yours?”
“I was about to say it’s almost like it slowed down and landed.”
“Yeah that’s pretty out there,” Bridge commented.
“No comments from the peanut gallery,” Ken shot back.
“It’s a working theory at the moment,” hawk cut in. “I’m scrambling the Scan Tracks and keeping the Razor Wings on standby at the moment.”
“I hope the Tracks can get through the traffic jam we have at the moment.”
“How bad are we talking?”, Hawk asked.
“It’s mainly some idiots taking picture with their phones and cameras instead getting back in their cars and getting out of here.”
“Well it’s going to Jamira’s problem when he arrives.”
“Yeah remind me to stay out of his way when he gets here.”
“Ken,” Bridge spoke up, “are you standing in the scanning field?”
“No,” he answered, “I’m standing a couple of feet away. Do you need me to back up a bit?”
“Is there a group of people in the field on the other side? Because I’m getting a huge heartbeat reading here.”
“Not that I can see,” Ken said jogging around the object.
Hawk looked over Bridge’s shoulder to see what he was seeing as he readjusted things on their end. They looked at each other, that wasn’t a group reading. “Ken get out of there now!”
“What are you…?”, then he looked at the meteor. “Figures,” he muttered and ran out of there. Out of habit he reached for the Spark Magnifier. He stopped when he realized it wasn’t there. Looking around where he was he tried not to panic, and was failing, “I had it when I left the base. The trunk.” He ran for his car only to stop when he saw the cop from earlier. Pulling him aside he made sure nobody else could overhear him, “I need you to get these people out of here now. There’s something inside that thing and I don’t know when it’s going to come out.”
“Understood,” he looked back at the meteor himself before relaying the information to the other units. “I need you people to keep moving this is an emergency situation.”
Making his way through the mess he made it back to his brother’s house and headed for his car. His mom asked, “Ken what’s going on?”
“It just became an emergency situation and all of you need to get out of here now.”
“What about you?”
“It’s all part of the job mom. Now get everybody packed up this party is going to get violent before too long.” She wanted to argue but didn’t knowing the situation was worse than he was letting based on the look on his face. But he was going to hear an earful later. He searched the trunk of his car but didn’t find it. As he started to look under the car he missed the superior look his older brother was giving him. Nicole saw him place the cylinder in his coat pocket. Ken stood back up and looked around where he was standing, panic hitting red alert levels, “Dax, we have a problem.”
***
Going the long way around Jamira and a squadron of Scan Tracks covered the meteor. If the readings were right then there was another monster in there and they had to contain that thing now, “Jackson, the rock covering it, how thick is it?”
“Scanning,” he replied. “I can’t get a clear reading from this distance, even with the markers the civilian put in place. It survived entry into the atmosphere so I’m assuming it’s pretty thick.”
“I say we find out how thick. All units target the object and…”
“Do not fire!”, Hawk said over the line. “The area hasn’t been cleared of civilians. Repeat, do not fire.”
Jamira was seething at him for cutting in, they had the perfect opportunity to stop that thing before it started and that idiot was wasting it. Looking at his driver he said, “Did that sound garbled to you?”
He started grinning, “Only understood a couple of words sir.”
“Any civilians still in the area should have moved faster,” another in his unit said.
Another added, “He probably means the wanna be in his unit.”
Jamira smirked to himself, now these were soldiers. “All units open fire.” Hawk yelled over the line again until Jamira shut the radio off. He’ll show him how this should be taken care of. The Scan Tracks in his unit and a few others fired on the creature. Through the explosion Jamira could see the exterior start to crumble. Then it started to fall away, or so he thought. It seemed to get taller then open up and unfold. Inside a huge pair of limbs and a head appeared and roared.
Back at Castle Hawk looked on, “It wasn’t inside the meteor it was the meteor.”
“Should we scramble the Razor Wings?”, Bridge asked
“As soon as possible,” he said heading for the door. “I’m on my way and Jamira better hope something happens to him before I get there.”
***
The monster didn’t move around much as the Scan Tracks kept pounding him. Before long it was getting the rock like plating up to block the assault. Before anybody knew it the Razor Wings flew overhead and unleashed their payload as well. At least it was staying where it was for the most part. Something Ken was grateful for since he was still trying to evacuate Jeff’s neighborhood. “Come on let’s move!”, he shouted as he waved people on. “Don’t trample anybody but get the hell out of here!”
Damn it this was killing him, he needed the Spark Magnifier but he needed to find out who took it first. And with the monster right there he couldn’t exactly stop anybody he saw at the party and ask. When it looked like everybody left he headed back towards Jeff’s house. Maybe somebody kicked it under a bush or something. And that was how you grasp at straws. “Nicole!”, he heard Janet shout out. Ken turned around to see his niece come running at him with her mother right behind her. He did not need this now.
“Nicole it’s not safe to be here!”, he told her.
“Daddy took this,” she said.
“Nicole come on,” Janet ran to grab her but she struggled to get away. “Don’t fight me Nicole.”
“Daddy took this from Uncle Ken!”, she insisted.
“Daddy took what?”, he asked. His jaw nearly hit the ground when she showed him the Spark Magnifier. He took it from her, “Your daddy had this?”
“I saw him,” she said. “I took it from him. I know stealing’s wrong but…”
Kneeling down to her level he said, “You’re right. Ninety nine point nine percent of the time stealing is very, very wrong. But this one time you did good kid.” Kissing her on the top of the head he picked her up and handed her to Janet, “Now get out of here before I kick both your butts.”
Janet nodded and ran away from the monster. Nicole looked over her shoulder and watched her uncle run toward it. He stopped and held his hand over his head. She watched as he disappeared in a flash of light and a multicolored giant appeared from another and faced the monster, “Shiah!”

Not wasting anytime Daxium charged Makeena trying to force him further away from the dwellings. The creature seemed surprised to see something his size come at him, but it still fought from being forced back just the same. Throwing a punch Daxium recoiled in pain as it turned around and he hit it’s armored shell. He tried a kick and the monster did it again and Daxium stumbled back. Bringing his hands to his side he quickly fired a Flash Bolt. Makeena wrapped part of his outer shell around himself again and it deflected back at the unprepared giant. Crying out in pain as he fell to the ground he quickly rolled to his feet. The creature came in quickly and backhanded him sending him further back.
Realizing he wasn’t going to last long at this rate he banged his forearms together and switched over to Power mode. This time when he went o kick he still felt the pain as Makeena protected himself but it went stumbling back in surprise this time. Daxium poured on the attack, each strike forcing the monster from space further and further back. Makeena suddenly folded his armor and Daxium jumped back ready from what was next, or so he thought. Instead of attacking Makeena knelt down and put it’s hands to his face while making a peculiar noise. In the safe zone Daxium had created Ken felt his confusion and did something he never did and concentrated to see what he was seeing. He was just as confused, “Is that thing crying?”
“I… I am not sure,” Daxium said inside their connection.
“Maybe he didn’t mean to land here,” Ken speculated. “Maybe it was a mistake and he’s just scared.”
“A possibility, one with a simple solution. With my assistance he may be able to go back into space.”
“Sounds like a plan to me. Oh I’m going to love hearing the theories that going to be coming out of this one at the next meeting.”
Elsewhere the beings from the dark dimension watched. The only thing that surprised them more than the fact that the giant from the light dimension showed up was the reaction of the creature they were told about. Well they would soon fix that As Daxium slowly came closer toward Makeena he held his hands open to show he wasn’t going to attack him again he stopped and looked up at the sky. He felt the wave of dark energy before he saw it. An vortex formed above Makeena and started assaulting him with bolts of dark energy. Daxium tried to help the creature but couldn’t get close until the bolts stopped and Makeena stood there. Eyes glowing purple he charged the giant and unmercifully assaulted him. Daxium took the brunt of it before ducking and flipping him over his shoulder. Makeena got up as Daxium tried to calm him down to no avail as he attacked again.
Knocking him down again Makeena squatted down and surrounded himself with the rock again and lifted off. Flying up so fast the hovering Razor almost couldn’t avoid him he altered his course to crash into Daxium as he stood up again. Then he did it again from behind. On the third try the giant was ready for it and caught him, feet digging trenches into the ground until they stopped. The jewel started to flash as he drew on all his strength as and repeatedly slammed the meteor into the ground then threw him overhead. Makeena slowly came out of his shell as he brought his fist up to his chest, preparing to unleash the Giga Wave. The he saw the dwelling of Ken’s brother and others would be in it’s path. Going over the options he had in his head so he wouldn’t endanger it in case the creature would move he suddenly he crossed his arms over his chest and brought them down and mode shifted into Hyper Mode. Extending the Light Stream whip he swirled it around his head before wrapping it around the creature. Rearing the other hand back and drawing in energy from the surroundings he slammed it down on the wrist and the Light Pulse shot through the whip and into Makeena, a second later he exploded. Daxium stood there, clenching his fists and feeling no satisfaction over this. He flew off with a sharp, “Shiah!”
Ken reappeared, falling to a knee and holding his chest. “Those multiple mode shifts still suck,” he grunted. Looking back at where the battle was all he could say was, “We’re facing a bunch of bastards.”

With the board’s approval Hawk quickly organized a party to help the civilians hurt during the evacuation and help ease some of the chaos that was happening in the aftermath. He argued since they fired the first shot to antagonize the creature it was the least they could do to help out. Surprisingly enough Richardson agreed with him, especially since it would make for some good PR. In no time Hawk and the rest of Alpha Team were there joining Ken and trying to build up some good will. Jess in particular was having a bit of a time trying to find the parents of a little boy that was with her. Though she had to smile when they did find them. “Jessica Wade?”, hearing her name she was greeted by a familiar face.
“Mrs. Scott,” she said as the older woman hugged her out of the blue, “how are you?”
“I’m fine. And ‘Mrs. Scott’? Are you trying to make me sound like an old woman?”
“Sorry, force of habit drilled into me by my family.” It looked like she was trying to say something but stopping short from actually saying it. “What is it?”
“I always told myself I’d tell you something in gratitude the next time I saw you. But I can’t think of a way to say it without sounding like a total bitch.”
“Well you said it was in gratitude so I’ll try not to be offended.”
“Alright dear, you asked for it,” she said with what had to be a family smirk. “I always thought you breaking up with Ken was the best thing that ever happened to him. Only because he started growing a backbone where Jeff was concerned.”
“Good thing you told me you were grateful for it first.” Although she still wasn’t sure how she should take it.
“Uh-oh,” Ken said walking up to them, “my mom and my ex. No good can come of this.”
“Only if you say anything stupid,” his mom warned him.
“Which is pretty regular,” Jess added. “More so now a days.”
“I knew I was going to get ganged up on,” Ken whined.
“Uncle Ken!”, Nicole shouted as she ran up to him with a piece of paper in her hand. “I drew you a picture.”
“And I can’t wait to see it.” Ken took it and opened it fully prepared to be the proud uncle. Actually looking at it his eyes bugged out a little. There was a drawing of a man with a ponytail flying to the side in a UNDF jacket with his hand over his head. Instead of a hand though there was a drawing of a flash of light. And behind him was something that looked suspiciously like Dax. “This is great Nicole. Just great.” Nicole beamed as she left them alone. This could be a problem.
Jess, who was looking over his shoulder at the drawing, said, “You’re niece thinks you’re Ultraman?”
“Why wouldn’t I be?”, he asked her with the straightest face he could manage. Then he broke out in a grin, “I’m the coolest guy she knows.”
“Then she needs to meet more people.”
“Hey civilian,” Bill said walking up to him, “you dropped you GLC.”
Catching it after it was tossed to him Ken pocketed it, “Thanks I was looking for that.” And he was so grateful one of the team found it were he put it and Jeff was right there to witness it. The look on his face alone was worth the risk.
Of course Jeff being Jeff he tried to save some face. “Ha, you’re in trouble now. How dare you lose you Global… Locating… Comp… What does GLC stand for?”
Bill just gave him the strangest look, “Good luck charm.” And again the look on his older brother’s face was worth it.
Just to rub it in Ken added, “My life been great since I found it.” Jeff walked off grumbling something colorful.
“So you’re the smart one then?”, Bill asked.
“I think things are going great,” Hawk said as he and Ryo joined them. “at this rate we should be back at base in no time. Then I get the ‘joy’ of dealing with Jamira over what happened,” he added looking a little dismayed.
“What did you steal from me?!”, Jeff shouted. They looked over to see him and a very frightened Nicole. “I swear to God I out to..,” he raised his hand as to strike her. Nicole flinched expecting the blow but Ken was already there grabbing his wrist.
“You do and I swear to God I’ll put you in the hospital.”
“And I’ll press charges,” Jeff threatened him.
“Does it look like I give a damn?”
Taken by surprise by the look in his little brother’s eyes he said, “You and what army tough guy?”
Before either of them knew it Jess was standing beside him, then Ryo, then Bill and Hawk. Looking back at them then to his brother Ken couldn’t keep the smirk off of his face, “This one.”
Looking at them Jeff walked off saying, “Losers.”
As Ken made sure Nicole was alright Bill asked, “How are you two related again?”
“You have no idea how many times I’ve asked that?”, Jess commented.
“Captain I’m going to take my niece home,” Ken said. “I’ll be back at Castle later.”
“Take your time,” he told him, glancing where his brother went. “Report back when you do.”
“Yes sir. Come on sweetie let’s find Mommy and Grandma,” and he took her hand asking himself that same question for the millionth time this year. “Oh,” he looked back to make sure the others couldn’t hear him, “And we have to talk about something you saw today.”
