"How far along are the preparations?"
"Madam Straussberg! General Straussberg!" The soldiers in the laboratory alongside the scientists immediately snapped to attention as the two daughters, one with hair as black as night and the other with hair as golden as the sun. However, both had violet eyes. "The engineers are working as fats as they can. We're getting our replacement and extra parts from a Russian convoy and the Mars Research Group is sending their excess metal plates. They're expected to arrive by tomorrow evening."
"And how about Lt. Sumeragi? Has the simulations done well?" General Soliel Straussberg inquired.
"Soliel-" Lezel griped at how overprotective her older sister was.
"He's passing each examination with flying colors. He was already prepared for the Tsukuyomi's test flight but we're also installing access codes and points of incapacitation from our studies on the Tsukuyomi into his knowledge base, ma'ams." the soldier said. "There will also be an override code on the Susanoo. Once he is latched onto the Tsukuyomi, he can take control in a matter of minutes."
"God willing these...idiots stay still long enough for him to do that." Lezel said. She looked below at the cerulean ship as it was taken apart and put back together, her only hope sitting in a glass orb under a virtual reality headset. It would be all up to him...or them.

Isaac stepped away from the two while one of the medically gifted guild members began wrapping Eric's head with a bandage.
"You've got a lot of explaining to do." Isaac stated.

Eric sighed as the bandages were wrapped around his head. Right now he had a splitting headache, he wasn't in the mood to tell anyone anything.
Stephanie didn't appear to be either, and PAL just hovered there.

Isaac noticed the silence coming from the newcomers and bit his tongue. It probably wasn't the best time to ask them, but he wasn't going to let them go anywhere until they spoke up.
The blonde girl from before wandered into the room, her hands behind her back and a bright smile on her face. She had overheard what had been said and how the off-worlders were reacting.
"Better get talkin' before Sky-Sama gets back!" She sung with a giggle.
Isaac scowled. "Riddle, not now."

"Anything's else, Isaac?" Mana asked. "If nothing else, I better off. Plus..." She gave a greedy smirk and made a joke a bit. "I wonder how much jewel that ship will cost." Of course, she may have a money fetish but she didn't mean to sell it for real.

"That'll be it, Mana. Thank you." Isaac replied, leaning against the wall. "Why don't you go see what kind of damage that crash caused? I'm sure the townspeople have all gathered outside by now."

Eric sighed, "Okay okay! Jeez, we'll talk! But it might take awhile to explain the...situation we're in right now." Eric winced and held his head.
"Where we come from our civilization has developed technology to colonize other worlds that were formerly thought uninhabitable in our solar system. Other tech such as robots like PAL here, has also become possible. However, the technological leaps and bounds are good in some ways and bad in many others. They're driving a further wedge between the rich class and the poor class. The poor in the society I come from, live in slums and what are known as 'under-cities', that is....they literally live in the levels and slums underneath the rich society's much happier, much more prosperous and much....better living conditions...known as the above-cities. It is almost unheard of for a middle class person, who is doing even remotely well with a good paying job like myself, I work at a ship company called Star Corp.....to speak out against the rich class....they're almost viewed as godlike figures now....something everyone should aspire to be." Eric sighed.
"That's why when my boss, Mr. Huph, told me that the ship I'd been working on for the past year, that I thought would change things....it was to be a charitable contribution to the slums....he revealed that it, and all other hyperspeed ships from now on with the capacity to travel to other galaxies and multiverse worlds...like this one...would be restricted to the rich class.....I kind of went off on him......confronted him....and he threatend me and my family. So...." Eric blushed and looked down again, "I....hijacked this ship you see outside, intending on taking it for a joy ride, just to get back at him....maybe even cross a few wires here and there so it wouldn't start? Then Steph here pops out from behind my seat, scaring me, and I accidentally hit the thrusters full force....and we fly into space and into hyperspeed...and end up crash landing here."
Eric waited for a response.

Isaac listened intently. "So, what you're saying is-"
"You're a thief!" Riddle screamed, pointing a finger at Eric.
Isaac sighed heavily. It wasn't entirely false. "In other words, you're going to need someone to fix your ship so you can return home?"

"Better a thief than what most of those people are back home. Better to steal from someone who has everything already, than to take from someone who is poor and can't afford to replace it. Anyway, who said anything about going home? I can fix the ship but once its fixed I'm taking my chances and exploring every world that's out there!"

"That's....wow." Mana only gave a comment after she heard Eric's story. "If like that, maybe you can stay in this world and take your time to fix the ship of yours. After all, Earthland has many places for you to explore."

"A thief is still a THIEF!" Riddle screamed loudly, earning her strange looks from the other members. "And we don't take kindly to thieves here at Luminous Lights."
"Riddle, leave." Isaac spoke in a deepened voice, making the young blonde tense up. "Leave, Riddle."
"Bu-but-" Riddle paused as she locked eyes with Isaac, and then nodded slowly. "O-Okay...." She said, wandering out.
Isaac let out yet another sigh. "You sound like a child." He admitted, looking over to Eric. "Do you realize what sort of risks you're bringing on yourself and your sister?"

"And you sound like someone who isn't minding their own business." Eric glared at Isaac. "I know what I'm doing, besides...you wouldn't understand....this place looks like it hasn't even accomplished the necessary technology to develop a television set. I'll fix up the ship and we'll be out of your hair...simple as that."

"When your irresponsible actions cause you to crash land in our town and nearly kill someone, it becomes my business." Isaac retorted, though his expression revealed that he was far from threatened. "We decided to help you out and that's how you treat? No wonder your boss threatened you and your family, you have no respect. or manners."

"Well according to some of your mates, I'm nothing but a thief, so that sounds about right." Eric smirked as he hopped off the bed with a grunt, and wandered to the doorway.

"Lt. Sumeragi."
"I read." Seiryuu said.
"Your Susanoo Zeta has been outfitted with all the necessary preparations as the former Tsukuyomi had alongside special functions in the return of the previous ship. If there is a need to reoutfit or fix the Tsukuyomi, you have enough parts for at least three severities up to Class 3. If the ship is completely totaled, Madam Straussberg requests that only the main drive and engine are to be recovered and the remains disposed of."
"Understood. And what of the current crew who are accused of taking the Tsukuyomi?" Seiryuu questioned as he settled into the small seat. His fighter ship was shaped in the way of a sleek dragon, covered blue with green energy wings. The main cokpit could only hold a few people but a few other compartments on the ship made it easy to hold a few and sustain a skeleton crew. But right now, with such a jailbreak, Lezel could only trust one person with this mission.
"...you have been given full rights to use violence you deem necessary, Lieutenant. The most Madam Straussberg has asked is a painful demise or brought back for a very excruciating trial.
"Thought as much. Lezel?"
"I'm here."
"Tell Rolo I'll be back soon. Same to everyone else back at the estate. Don't worry about me, Lezel."
Seiryuu chuckled at hearing the blush in her tone. "Take care of yourself, idiot."
That was as close to an 'I love you' as he was going to get.
Susanno Zeta, now launching! Launch!

Isaac sighed and walked over to Stephanie, handing her some bandages. "Keep an eye on your brother's head."
"ISAAC!! SKY-SAMA IS BAAAAAACK!" Of course, this came from Riddle, who was at the front doors of the guild.
Isaac's complexion lightened, paling. "nuts." He cursed, before hurrying out.

Mana looked at the S-class Mage and then, the girl named Stephanie. "Eh...is your brother like that?"

Stephanie sighed and looked at Mana, "He's just...really passionate is all. He doesn't like the way things are going on our world, and doesn't know how to change them...it frustrates him about the inequality people are dealing with, he didn't mean to lash out...I'm sure." Stephanie smiled at Mana before gripping the bandages and following her brother outside, followed by PAL.
Outside, Eric had gone into the thingypit and just saw holo-schematics of the areas which were damaged in the crash, flashing red.
"Well at least its nothing major." He said as he flipped open a panel and selected a wrench tool that was almost as tall as he was, but he carried it slung across his shoulder as if it was light as a feather as he got outside and steadied himself on the ground and began to twist away at the enormous secured bolts holding down a side panel.
"Grrrrk!"

"Mana," Isaac looked over. "Go with them outside, make sure everything is okay." He said, heading for the door. "I have things to discuss with the Guild Master."
Outside, Evelyn and Mira had just arrived from completing their mission, and Mira had taken to overly observing the ship. She was literally poking and probing at it, while her mentor watched without any interest. She did, however, assess the damage and wasn't happy about that.
When she observed Eric entering and leaving the ship, she approached him without a second though.
"What is the meaning of this?"

Ten miles outside of Fiore, another ship from Eric's world entered the sky above. However, Seiryuu, having gone through simulation after simulation, knew how to handle the backlash better. He quickly turned his momentum which was easier for a smaller ship, and then began looking for a glade of some sort to land.
Finding a suitable place, in fact, near a cavern with no heat signals, he landed and then backed up to secure himself in the cover.
"...First Dimension, unknown name...quality of the air is similar to earth...but the scanners are reading something energized in the air." Seiryuu muttered as he looked at the many readings coming up. "...a town, looking like 14th Century Europe ten miles south down the mountain side. Perhaps its best to play the traveler."
Coming out of the Susanoo Zeta, Seiryuu jumped down but not before fixing his tux like outfit and then swiping his cape over it. To the citizens of Fiore, he could look like a very well dressed gentleman. With his Plasma Katana in its sheath by his side, he began to hike down to the city of Fiore, hoping to find the lost God of the Moon.
