*the next thing he knew he was at the lab*
Jasmine:*suprize hug* Master there you are!

*Pico smiled at Jasmine but fowns at her when he sees the damage* Pico:(that doesn't look good)…Jasmine what happened to you?

Jasmine: oh, um complications happened when I did the scan on Val…its not too bad, is it?

Pico:don't worry its fixable.*Pico put his hand over the injury and out came his nanobots which when they touched Jasmine they started to repair her*there that should do it you just gotta wait a bit until the repairs are complete.

Jasmine: thank you master…um Pico, as odd as this sounds, have you ever felt something for another?

*Pico raised a eyebrow confused from the question with a slight blush on his cheeks*Pico:technically i did when i fell for Mia…but that was ownly because i thought i would never see Nene ever again.

Jasmine: no, no not like that, silly. I mean, an overwheming emotion to help someone who just has to work out many of her own issues.

Pico:huh…well i guess i have

Jasmine: I think, I feel that way after the events of what I've recently been through.

Pico:*Pico sighs at the thought*…as much as it kills me to say it you cant help everybody especially if they don't want it.*he then had a stern look*but that doesn't mean you give up on the person that gave up on themselves…*Pico then had that familiar stubborn look in his eyes*

Jasmine: I see… thank you master. You've helped me out some on how I feel.

Pico:good to hear Jasmine*he then pushed a few buttons on his portal device* now come on your system still needs a bit of a rest before we can be sure your at 100%.
Jasmine:yes master*she then was close enough so Pico pressed the remaining coordinates and they teleported back to the apartment*

Mia: is everything ok?
Jasmine: Just fine. the exterterior is ok but, my insides will need some time. did we miss anything
Cynthia:…not much, no.

Pico:(so we didn't miss the message thats good)*he then grabbed a book and sat on the couch*

*Zot Studio on the 13th floor*
???: everything set?
Rob:*checking the messages* it is. all the TV's and devices have been given out.
???: excellent.*turns his chair to the back of the camera* this is going to be a fun one. long winded too.
Rob: are you going to stick to the script?
???: was I asked to?
Rob:…only you know that answer.
???: then I guess We'll see. begin the countdown.
Rob: *flicks the switch.*

*Pico was reading his book and unconsciously fell asleep*
Pico:zzz…

*Everywhere in Zot the screen changes to a countdown going from 13 to 2 it then changes to the image*

???: good evening members of Zot…its been awhile since you heard my voice, has it not?

*Pico's room*
Mia: *nudging pico* Pico its starting.

*Pico opened his eyes*
Pico:im awake!

???: anyway for the longest while you have probably wondered where your boss has been*the chair Spins around to reveal a familliar figure* I am here to say he's not here at the moment. At this point I would pretend to be him and give you a rallying speech. I will, but not like Shadowblade would.

*down the hall*
Zack: that's morphblade
Frank: where;s he been?
Zack: im not sure…but I do have a few questions for him.
*Pico's room*
Mia: well this is a shock.
Nene: oh look its…um who is that.
Cynthia:*looks at the man as her faial expression changes to that of worry*

Pico:Morphblade…it makes sense.*he then looked at Cynthia and frowns*hey there is no need to be worried.

Cynthia: *gulps and gives Pico a not even slightly soothed look out of the corner of her eye, not daring to turn her face away from Morphblade in the TV* … S-sure… (I-I can't look back at him. I mustn't… But why?) *trying to distract herself from the sudden feeling of anxiety, she asks* So… what is this thing he's talking to us through? Is it some kind of window? Why doesn't he come in and talk to us directly? *the feeling of fear reaches for her heart and squeezes it painfully as she speaks out that scenario* (I think that was the wrong distraction…) *turning her eyes back to the TV as if an invisible force pulled them on a chain, something starts to stir in the darkness of her memory; she starts trembling on her whole body from terror, unable to utter even the tiniest sound; she thinks she can hear Pico say something to her, or Mia, or maybe someone else; she couldn't make out words or the voice or turn to the others; she was absolutely paralyzed, deaf, without speech and blind for everything besides the man in the TV*

- A couple doors down… -

Val: *twisted up to a pretzel again on her bed, she whinces and looks startled at the TV turning on by itself, displaying the same message everyone at the tower receives* … Make it stop, Morphblade. *she says with a flat voice and dull eyes, staring right through him* … Make it stop.

Mia:*looks in the corner of her eye at cynthia* you ok?

*13th floor studio*
MB: First as you have noticed we have been contacted by the enemy. this man,…no he revoked that right along time ago and right before you, jack knifed off of a diving board into a pool of smelly, rotten century and a half old blood he created to seal the deal. Folks I'm goning to be flat out with you. he is a danger and he wants to be your boogy man and prey on your weakness. As you have read in the file, he has seen things that few can say that they have seen and regreted, yet he thinks its all a game to progress his findings. he looks at us, and thinks we are weak. He believes us to be soft and inferior. he promises nothing but lies to justify his means and in the end will use you nothing more than a stepping stool on a mountain of corpses he wishes to create. *stands up and hops on the desk only ot sit on it*Now, I want each of you to take a good look at yourselves. You came here for a second chance and got it. Through strife and strain, each and everyone of you have acheived something and bettered yourself. You have all shown that you have what it takes to stand up for what you belive and fight. Each of you have braved danger that no one else could face, you have shown to look the monsters and machines of one madman almost a year ago, and put your all into fighting back, and you have all seen hell and literally marched your way out to fight again so that way the world can may be peaceful. We are in a simmilar battle right now, only unlike Torvek he's likely wanting to play god and thinks he should wipe the slate clean. Are we going to let that happen? I don't think so.*stands up* Ladies and gentlemen as of right now, I call on you. I call on you to fight for yourself, to fight for the families of others, and future generations that are threatened by this *air quotes* “Professor” and his defintions of “Science and philosphy”.

*Cynthia still didn't hear Mia*Pico:Cynthia?*he then flicked his fingers in front of her to get her attention*

MB: let us remind him what we as a people, as nations, as a world can do when we put our minds together. and remember, We are Zot!!!
*the message then stops playing and the TV's turn off much cheeing can be heard throught the tower*
*back up onthe 13th floor*
MB: it is done.
Rob: I must say…that was an interesting speech. what now?
MB:now? I go and do my work.*walks by him* thank you Rob.

Pico:that was some speech…Cynthia are you ok?

Cynthia:*hears the nothingness for some time till the screen turns off and after trembling for a bit snaps back and looks around the room at both of them blinking several times in the progress*…wha? what happened?

Pico:you kind of blanked out for a minute there…Dark Pico:(remember the look on her face when she sort of mentioned Shadowblade)Pico:(yeah…i wonder)

Mia: anyway will you be ok?
Cynthia: I guess…

Pico:thats good*Pico stood up and stretched* may as well do somthing*suddenly a familiar flying robot could be seen floating towards them*
Trigger:hi everyone.

Mia: Trigger!
Nene: what brings you in here?
