Location: Raven's Nest Shipyard â€" Landing Bay

"I'm telling you that you cross-wire it here!" shouted Blackfire as he watched Djynn manipulate the security control panel for the shipyard. The panel was complicated with loads of wires cross-linking each other and a fare few coloured buttons to press as well. Djynn and Blackfire had been working at the control panel for about thirty minutes and had got completely nowhere, the controls were the recognisable and in Terran language but so advanced that they were not sure what actually did what.

"Look...!" shouted Djynn finally loosing his temper with Blackfire and staring back at the dragon. "Unless you want me to accidentally blow the cargo doors and we all go out into space... I suggest you quit it!"

"I'm only tryin' to help!" shouted Blackfire back. Djynn had completely had enough at this point and got up from the control panel to argue before a beeping from the control panel made him turn round.

"Alright!" he shouted... "I'm into the main file directory" he smiled triumphantly, a little too triumphantly for Blackfire who was sulking a little bit. But Djynn's happy face did not last long.

Blackfire came over to see what was the matter. He read the same thing that Djynn did and then snarled. "Damn! That bitch... we're gonna have to call Diamond..."

Location: Raven's Nest Shipyard â€" Corridor to Main Core

"Will both of you put your guns DOWN!" shouted Diamond as he watched Munchy have a stand off with his past self. "I would not advise killing yourself Munchy, after all what are you without a past..."

Munchy nodded to Diamond and put his gun down still a little weary with Colin and the other Munchy both completely confused by this. "What the hell is going on?"

The corridor space seemed a little cramped with all of them standing so close to each other. Diamond really did not have time to talk about this so he gestured something to Munchy who looked back in confusion.

"I'm sorry captain..." he smiled before he smacked Colin round the head with the butt of his rifle, knocking him to the polished floor cold. Munchy timely caught on before smacking the other Munchy out cold too.

"You might of warned me what you were gonna do doc" snarled Munchy, watching himself unconscious on the floor which was a truly peculiar sensation, like an out-of-body experience. Diamond let out a very annoyed sigh and picked up his rifle, Aries got up from leaning against the wall and stepped over the bodies of the fallen guards. "I DID WARN YOU, WHAT DO YOU THINK THE FUCKING SIGNAL WAS FOR!?" exclaimed Diamond.

"Ooooooh!" laughed Munchy. "You really need to learn military hand signals, you ordered me to throw a grenade at them..."

Diamond sighed and walked down the corridor before a beeping on his radio made him stop and bring it to his mouth. "Diamond..." he said loudly. Djynn's hectic voice came over the radio.

"They've taken Blackfire!" he shouted before the sound of gunfire echoed. "Taken... refuge..."

There was another loud burst of gunfire before Djynn's voice crackled through on the radio again. "They were the key!"

Diamond looked over at both Aries and Munchy. "Djynn? You alright...?"

"Yes... I've taken refuge in the shuttle... the bay's turrets activated and almost killed me... but we were stupid!"

"Stupid about what?" asked Diamond.

"Galladia... we played exactly into her hands. She planned this to happen all along... for us to come back in time I mean..."

Diamond suddenly looked up from the radio, his wings feeling cramped in their positions. That was impossible!? How could Galladia have known that they would do that... unless...

Freyja! She had given him the designs for the time-drive. "Whoa... slow down... how do you know all this..."

There were a few seconds in which Djynn caught his breath before he began to explain. "I hacked into Raven's Nest's computer system and immediately realised that something was not right. The computer core was taken over by a strange virus... a code with the EXACT DNA as the Serenity Virus... Blackfire saw the pattern in Munchy before the destruction of the Valkyrie..."

There was a break in the radio before Djynn began to talk again as all three of them began to run towards the lift for the Main Core.

"However the information I accessed... Galladia has interfaced with this whole station... she IS the station, she has control over all of it..."

The was another crackled with smattering of gunfire hitting the wall of the shuttle. "That's why she set the turrets on me... cos I found out!"

"SPIT IT OUT!" shouted Diamond as they entered the elevator towards the inner core shaft, a long tube that led down towards the main core of the shipyard.

"I accessed her brain... her memories... she has planned this from day one. She manipulated Odin with visions to make the Asgard invade our galaxy, The attack on Alexandria was an opportunity, so she could finish absorbing the last of the Asgard into the Dark Collective.... Queen Songbird was Freyja taking refuge inside the Queen's body. She then had Freyja resurrect you Diamond..."

Diamond looked down at the floor. Had he been just another puppet for them to use all along? Munchy comforted him as he slid onto the floor of the lift as it began to move.

"Freyja gave you the designs for the time-drive... you see... she wants something called Yggdrasil and if she gets it... she will have ultimate control over existence. You see... Terra is an access point to Yggdrasil, a sort of dimensional tear however just destroying Terra would not rupture the barrier far enough... that's where the four divine treasures come in..."

"Of course" interrupted Diamond. He remembered that the legendary treasures were items that stabilised the galaxy's formation... according to the myth. "If she brought all four together..." continued Diamond in absolute shock. "Then she could weak the dimensional barrier enough to collapse it and allow her to pass through."

"You got it!" shouted Djynn almost excited by this.

"But why get us to go back in time..." asked Munchy, listening to the conversation. Djynn broke in. "Because we already HAVE all four legendary treasures..."

"We can't have!?" said Diamond. "I knew about Gungnir but... not the others..."

"You see... that's the trick!" shouted Djynn, so much so that Aries covered an ear. "The planet list that Blackfire decoded is not the location of the treasures but the planets of ORIGIN!"

"So you are telling me that the divine treasures... are people...!?" exclaimed Diamond with almost utter confusion as the lift continued down towards the main core.

"Yes... and we've had them all along... Galladia just never found out until she absorbed Queen Songbird and Munchy!"

"So who are.... ANNA!" shouted Diamond, clipping his fingers. "That's why they took her!"

"Yeah, Anna is the Sylvian Bow, Silverfox is Divine Lance Gungnir... he was never killed as believed but has been trapped inside a physical manifestation of Gungnir. Eclypse is Demon Sword Levantine... the original Eclypse is and SHE was buried on Helfhiem... the Asgard cloned her and changed her to male because of their need for an agent to protect it. They made Eclypse male probably to fit in with that female superiority lark they have going...

"So who's the forth one..." asked Munchy with interest.

"Blackfire... and the hanger was just attacked and he was taken as well..." sighed Djynn. "Now she has all four and its all our fault... we've been manipulated right into her hands."

Diamond was not sure what to do, he picked himself as the life reached its final stop and stopped outside of platform that would create a bridge onto the main core. He had no idea how they were going to stop Galladia from entering Yggdrasil... He had failed again... even in his new life with his new powers he had failed to stop her.

"What can we do..." asked Munchy... looking down at Diamond who was sat defeated in the corner.

"Nothing..." he mumbled. "It's over..."

Aries became enraged and picked Diamond up with one hand and slammed him against the life. "STOP FEELING SO FUCKING SORRY FOR YOURSELF!" He let Diamond go who stop up. They had a commitment to the people of Terra, not to mention the whole universe and he would see it through. He just needed Aries's bluntness to see it through.

"Right Djynn... access the computer from inside the shuttle... I want to know any weakness in the core... if need be we'll destroy this station to save Terra."

Djynn grunted down the other end and got to work with the occasional burst of machine gun fire on the well-defended shuttle made him jump.

"Now I remember that she is going to have to use a power energy source and the four treasures in order to open the portal wide enough and destroy Terra... if we can disrupt this somehow... it should prevent her from doing that..."

Munchy and Aries smiled at Diamond as they proceeded into the core. "Good luck" said Diamond finally as the bridge began to extend.

"I dun need luck." smiled Aries.
