Chapter CCXXVIII:
Who Started the Party Without Us? ~Kaye
Kaye was still looking around the interior
of the cockpit as the kitty mecha opened up another
rip hole and stepped out onto level ground.
"Are we where we're supposed to be?" She asked,
still not convinced that Kyanosa had actually known
what he was doing when he'd messed with the navicomputer.
Kyanosa pushed a few more buttons and the kitty mecha turned to reveal an interesting scene not more than a
hundred feet in front of them. There were two large groups, one being of
various heights, with many different colors of skin,
and the other also being of varying heights, with many different colors of skin (Heck, Prism did that on her own), but this
group was also encased in a glowing orange square. There were also two figures
running across the grass, or they had been until they stopped. (Yes, when they
stopped they were no longer running.)
"I can't believe they had a party without us." Kyanosa
fumed, halfway between personalities.
"I don't think it's a party." Mazzic said
looking closer at the screen. "Everyone from the Spectrum is inside that
cube, and everyone outside the cube are Twilighters."
"And they're all looking at us now." Josh stated.
And it was true. Everyone, inside the cube or not, had turned very slowly to
see the 22 meter, pink and purple kitty cat shaped mecha,
complete with mega flower cannon. Immediately Kyanosa
perked up. He always had loved an audience.
Kaye? CR asked telepathically,
but even being who he was, he sounded confused. What is that?
It is a Creation's Weapon.
Kaye replied. At least we're pretty sure.
Kyanosa found it.
Oh. And CR really did sound
like it made sense to him now. Somehow nothing really was quite as weird when Kyanosa was involved. Even if the result was a 22-meter
tall metal kitty that looked more like it wanted to chase a ball of yarn or
fall asleep in a sunbeam than fight a multiversal
war. Well see if you can get that thing
to fire. Distract the Twilight Council long enough for us to get free.
Can do CR. Kaye looked up. "Guys. We need to distract the Twilighters
so CR and the others can get free."
Kyanosa took a deep, important sounding breath, trying making himself look taller, but the result
was just that he looked like he was holding his breath.
"You created this thing." Mazzic said.
"So what can it do?"
The smile that appeared on Kyanosa's face next made
everyone take an involuntary step back, which was difficult considering there
really was not that much space in the cockpit in the first place. Mazzic, unfortunately, did not get more than three inches.
The metal pants wearing teen leaned forward and whispered something into Mazzic's ear.
"You've got to be kidding." Mazzic cried in
disbelief.
Kyanosa shook his head. Neither Josh nor Kaye had
enough nerve to ask what Kyanosa had said.
"Here ya go." Kyanosa
pulled a radio transmitter from the control panel and held it out to Mazzic.
"I've got to be crazy." Mazzic said with a
sigh. He lifted the radio to his mouth and muttered. "Pretty
Kitty Mega Petal Flower Cannon."
There was a snort from Josh. Kaye was sure she had heard wrong.
"You've got to say it louder." Kyanosa
nodded.
Mazzic growled, and then said loudly. "Pretty Kitty Mega Petal Flower Cannon!"
Kaye could hear the words blare over the speakers outside the mecha. Nothing moved for a good minute; and then it
happened…
The kitty mecha moved.
The kitty mecha jumped.
The kitty mecha's high powered mega flower cannon
fired a stream of petals at a 5'6" Twilighter
with shiny metal boots, green skin, no nose, a red scar over his right eye, a
flowing green cloak, green, claw-like hands, darker green, neatly combed hair,
pointy ears, and pointed teeth.
