“Hey, Jen! How's everything going down here?” Sweetie Drops called over the intercom.
“Everything is secure!” Jen replied through her communicator before a small gold coin appears out of nowhere and hits her in the face. “What the heck!?”
“Everything ok?” Sweetie Drops asked.
“Yeah… Just got hit in the face by a coin that appeared out of thin air!” Jen complained before picking up the offending coin.
“Do you want me to come down and help you? Someone probably hit you with some sort of bit or-.” Twilight said as she came to check out what the fuss was about, but stopped speaking as she looked at the “coin” before looking at Jen. “That is no bit I can tell you that. For all that I know of, that’s too big to be a bit. I think you just found a medallion, Jen.”
“Then what kind of medallion is it? Better yet, where did it come from!?” Jen wondered as she examined the coin.
“Maybe it’s a relic of sorts. We should ask Sweetie about it. Something tells me that she might know what this thing is.” Twilight said just as the earth pony was coming into the room.
“Hey! Sweetie Drops, do you know where this came from?” Jen asked.
“That's strange, I didn't have anything like that onboard.” Sweetie drops replied as she looked at the medallion.
“I wonder…” Jen thought as she stared at the coin in confusion before flipping it into the air and catching it out of boredom. She personally didn’t expect anything to happen. But from the single coin toss, something unexpectedly plummeted in the middle of the cargo bay, crashing into the floor with a loud ‘thud’.
“What!? where did that crashing noise come from!?” Twilight said spinning around to find the source of the noise, only to see a boot sticking out of a pile of crates.
The only thing that all three of them weren’t expecting was to hear a voice that none of them knew. “Okay, seriously!? That hurt!!!”
“Hey! Who are you!” Sweetie Drops demanded pulling out her laser pistol.
“You tell me, I can’t see a damn thing with these crates all over me! I think they’re crushing my ribs.”
“Twilight, you mind helping Jen move the boxes while I make sure this pony doesn't try anything?” Sweetie Drops said.
“Pony? Heh, that’s a good one,” The voice chuckled. After a few of the shipping crates were moved out of the way, whoever was speaking then said something else. “Okay, that helps. You might want to backup first, rather not hit you three.”
“Hang on… you can see us?”
“More of a sense thing, but that’s not the point,” The crates were then seen flying in all directions and from underneath was something that caught Jen by surprise. It was a human like figure, but it had red gauntlets on his forearms and a blond monkey tail to match with his hair. He wore a black jacket and cargo shorts of the same color and soon, turned around to notice the three of them, with Jen holding the coin. “What’s up?”
“Who… Wha… How…” Jen stammered before passing out.
“Aw, crap…” The stranger cursed, noticing the coin on the ground. “Was she the one who summoned me?”
“Summoned?” Twilight asked.
“That’s my token,” he said, pointing at the golden medallion. “Nevermind that, I forgot to introduce myself. Name’s Sun Wukong and… where exactly are we?”
“You're aboard my ship.” Sweetie Drops said.
“Ship?” He replied, looking around at where he was before sighing. “Maybe I should let you guys be a little more specific on that. Because right now, this feels like I’m on a ship in Star Wars.”
“I’ll go get Jack.” Sweetie drops groaned before walking away. All Sun did was sit down, watching the mare walk away for a little bit. Twilight, on the other hand, noticed Sun’s tail moving a little. Almost getting close to tickling Jen’s head.
Second later Jack walked into the room and saw Sun then said “Who’s the Saiyan?”
“That’s Faunus. God, I already have one person calling me that, I don’t need a second one.” Sun sighed, facepalming himself as he looked towards Jack.
Jack then laughed and said, “Oh sorry just saw the tail, anyway my name's Jack what's yours?”
“Sun Wukong. Trust me, I already had my Twilight mistake me as Son Goku when I first ran into her.”
Jack then laughed and said “I just caused our Twilight to have a breakdown after I told her that me and Jen are humans. We’re supposedly mythical creature here.”
“When I first met Fluttershy and I told her that I was a Faunus, she thought I was a Fawn. Like a deer.”
“How’d she get that I don’t see any antlers?” asks Jack
The Faunus shrugged. “My tail was on the couch and she did hear the us part of it. Had to take a little bit of explaining to help her… Speaking of which, is your friend going to be alright? She passed out upon seeing me and it was her I think that found my token.”
Jack then smirks and says “She will be in a minute” He then walks over to the corner of the room and grabs a bucket of water and throws it over Jen then says “Jen wake up, or do you want me to get Komainu to lick you again?”
“Gah! what was that for!” Jen yelped before glaring at Jack.
Jack then laughed and said, “Don’t want you being anti-social with our guest do we?”
“Whatever…” Jen grumbled before sulking off to tinker with some stuff.
At the mentioning of Komainu, Sun tilted his head at Jack, puzzled. “Who’s Komainu?”
Jack then smiles and points towards the ground as a small dog like creature appears near his feet, He then smiles and says “This is Komainu”
“... Okay, that’s new. I honestly never expected that to happen.” The Faunus replied as Komainu looked back up at Jack like an eager puppy.
Jack then smiles and says “You wouldn’t have seen one before, he’s a Spectrobe.”
“Never heard of that one before. Then again, I’ve met a lot of other Displaced so to each their own right? Besides, where I’m from, I have to worry about Grimm.”
“Grimm? What are they?” asks Jack.
“Grimm are vicious creatures that are mostly black and red, formed by raw negative emotions such as suffering, hate, anger, and primarily, Fear. They take on many forms and attack anypony on sight… Are you familiar with RWBY by any chance?” He asked Jack, wanting to see what his answer would be.
“RWBY… um not really heard of it” admits Jack.
“Well, it’s a web series by RoosterTeeth, the guys behind Red Vs. Blue. I’m based off of one in the characters in the series named Sun Wukong… Hey Jack, can I ask you something?”
“Fire away”
“Have you met any other Displaced before?” Sun asked him, hoping that the topic would somehow ring a bell. Unfortunately… things didn’t turn out the way he hoped when he asked that question.
“Sadly not, we only got sent here earlier today… you're the first other ‘displaced’ that we have met… in fact, we don’t actually know a lot about other displaced.”
“Well, to put it in basic terms, Displaced is short for Dimensionally misplaced. Meaning that someone that either dresses up as a certain person or character can wake up to find themselves in their own version of Equestria. Mine has the Grimm and some other things where a few Displaced from the same web series ended up there. Besides them, though, I’ve been summoned by a variety of different people. You with me so far?”
“Yeah I think so… in fact, I'm wondering have you come across anyone who was displaced as Kirito and Asuna?” Asks Jack hopefully.
The Faunus scratched his chin, thinking to himself a little before replying. “Now that you said that, I actually saw those two once. One Displaced was holding a huge holiday celebration in his realm and they were two of the hundreds of guests that were there. Didn’t get the chance to talk to them, though, which was a bummer.”
“So whoever sent us here didn’t lie about that… still they may not know about Craig yet,” said Jack sadly.
“Are those guys like family to you or something?” The Faunus asked, folding his arms as he waited for a reply. Komainu was even looking at Jack with a worried expression as he pouted a little.
He then looks down and says “Craig and Kirito are my cousins, Asuna is my aunty but I haven't seen them in years they all disappeared, I know know they were displaced.”
“Wow… Never thought your family would get pulled into it. Ironically, though, that’s the same thing for me.” He explained, getting out a few pictures in his pockets. “My cousin Lance got Displaced as Gunvolt from Azure Striker Gunvolt and ended up in a world where Twilight and her friends are basically Superheroes. Same thing happened to my mother, who is in the same world. But… she hasn’t been the same as when I last saw her.”
“What happened to her?”
“That… I don’t know. She’s with another Displaced named Miles Upshur and she was relieved to see me after being separated from each other. But she’s just… different now.” He said, looking down a little. “Given the fact that my father died when I was a child, I had to look after her most of my life. So seeing that change just makes me… worried, you know?”
Jack then smiles and says “I understand you completely, but sometimes you need to embrace that change otherwise you will just get yourself stuck where you are.”
“I don't understand any of what you two just said…” Twilight groaned before walking off to resume working on her research. Sun noticed the Unicorn as she was walking away, noticing that she was different than when he last saw his Twilight.
“I understand that. Maybe we should focus more on the here and now,” The Faunus suggested. “Do either of you have any questions for me?”
Jack then looks at the Faunus and says “Well we heard about token from some sort of voice before we met you... but we have no idea how to make one.”
“I can help with that later. It would sound complicated in talking about it, but maybe showing you guys later can help you out a little.” He offered, his tail catching what looked like a pair of nunchaku that fell out of the back of his jacket.
“Ok, I think that's all the maintenance my sword needs for now…” Jen said to herself as she walked back over while holding a gauntlet looking device.
Jack then looked at the weapon in sun’s tail and asks “hey what's that you're holding?”
“This?” The Faunus asked, picking the red nunchucks up with his hands as he flipped them around. “These are my weapons. Ruyi Bang and Jingu Bang.” Shortly after that, he had both weapons collapse into a bo staff that he held with his right hand.
“What does it do?” Jen asked as a glint appeared in her eye.
“Well, they’re a gunchaku/staff weapon-”
“Whats a gunchaku?” Jen asked as she started to reach for Sun’s staff.
Sun, noticing this, collapsed the staff down and had them be nunchaku again. Only now did Jen see that she was staring down the length of a barrel. “Gunchaku. They’re Nunchaku that also serve as shotguns. Because where I’m from, almost every weapon… is also a gun.”
“Cool! can I dissect one!” Jen asked with a smile that said ‘I’m a mad scientist’.
“I’m not sure if you can dissect metal. Plus, most of the people that have them are either clingy to their stuff or just don’t want their stuff getting taken apart. One girl has a Scythe that’s a combat action sniper rifle and she’s the other one that calls me Saiyan… mostly because she’s… well, Ruby.”
“Now I really want to know where you came from!” Jen squealed as she started to gain ideas for a few new inventions.
“...... Wow… That’s a first?”
“Now all that's missing is an automaton and I think I would be in heaven!” Jen giggled.
Sun turned to Jack for a moment at everything that Jen was saying. “I’m going out on a limb here and say that she’s new to the whole Displaced thing?”
“We both are, although I remember my cousin saying he wrote sorites about this before he disappeared” Admits Jack.
“Displaced? What were you two talking about while I was doing maintenance on my sword?” Jen asked as she held up her gauntlet before putting it on.
“We talked about what his world is like… oh and our families, turns out he knows about my cousins and their mother,” replies Jack.
“I saw them, but didn’t speak to them,” Sun added on.
“So that weird guy in the blue cloak wasn’t crazy?” Jen said while raising an eyebrow.
“Well, you guys and myself aren’t the only ones in this situation. The possibility is hundreds to possibly thousands of people. Just as vast as the Multiverse itself. Just meeting me is only the tip of the iceberg for you two.” The faunus told them. “One thing to keep in mind, though… Many people when Displaced would not be the type to follow the rules and instead say Screw the Rules, I do what I want. So just be careful.”
“And they are where?” Jen asked.
Jack then sighs and says “In separate realities Jen, we use tokens to travel between them, that's what you found to bring Sun here.” causing her to faint again.
“We could have just said Multiverse theory… Geez, this just makes me think of when I was explaining it to Lauren Faust.”
Komainu then waddled over to Jen and started to lick her face causing her to bolt back awake. “Dang it Komainu!” She shouted as she ran from the Spectrobe in an attempt to avoid being tickled.
Jack then started laughing and says “I did tell you that would happen, Jen.”
“Heh… He just reminds me of Grif.” Sun chuckled. “Grif is a wolf pup that I’m helping my friend Fluttershy raise. Though… for being very young… he’s also very lazy.”
“Everyone hold tight! were now approaching Equis and will be arriving at HQ soon.” Sweetie Drops called over the ship intercom.
Sun then looked at Jack and Jen, surprised but also a bit confused. He only had time to ask one question. “If this is the part where I should hold onto something?”
“Were exiting warp not entering, did you not hear the approaching Equis part of what she said?” Jen said rolling her eyes.
“Hey, no one told me that this was a freaking spaceship! I thought it was an airship- OW!” Sun’s sentence was cut off just as the ship made a violent stop, throwing him into another stack of crates. “Dammit, NOT AGAIN!! That’s twice now!!”
“Problem monkey boy?” Jen laughed as she just stood there.
“Oh HAHA!” He said, getting himself out and pushing a crate to where it flew into Jen’s face.
“Jen stop laughing at other people's misfortune… that's my job for you” jokes Jack. As Sun hopped out, the cargo bay doors were beginning to open as the three of them noticed both Sweetie Drops and Twilight outside. But the first thing they noticed was the mess of crates scattered all over the place.
“Okay, what the BUCK-!?”
“You hit my face!” Jen yelled at Sun as the crate he threw at her fell off her face.
“Hey, that’s not my fault! You forgot to dodge!!”
“Oh? And how was I supposed to do that?” Jen asked as she pulled out a massive wrench and gave Sun a slightly strained smile as her eye twitched.
Jack then laughed and says “Jen do I need to treat you like Piccolo treated Gohan?”
“Try it and I will have you be the guinea pig for one of my experiments again.” Jen deadpanned.
Jack then sighs and says “I was joking Jen… you really need to get a sense of humour.”
“Sic em Komainu,” Jen said to the Spectrobe while pointing at Jack.
“Woof!” Komainu replied as he gained a glint in his eye before tackling Jack to the ground. he then proceeded to lick Jack the same way he had when tickling Jen and Sweetie Drops.
“Go for it boy, I don’t mind,” Jack said before he started laughing and said “You will feel my wrath in the future, Jen. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but someday when you least expect it.”
“Save it for the wedding, Romeo,” Jen said with a smirk as she calmed down.
“Let's go see the commander.” Sweetie drops said to Twilight while facehooved herself before the two ponies left the humans to their shenanigans.
Jack then looks towards Jen and says “Let me find a ring and we’ll see.”
Sun just sighed to himself as he followed Jack, Jen, and the other ponies out to go see this “Commander” that they were referring too. He was a tad bit curious on who this was as he stepped out of the vehicle. But as soon as he stepped out of the ship, though… all eyes were directly on them.
Sun just stayed quiet, thinking that saying anything would attract attention that he rather not have, thinking that Jack and Jen might be able to clear up any fear or confusion that they might have of him.
Jack then places a hand on his shoulder and says “Calm down Sun, what are you worried about?”
“Hey, I was unsure what they would think of me because I’m different from you. Fear can cause many ponies to resort to extreme measures if you get what I’m saying.”
“I get what you're saying but they all have more to fear as it is… to them, you are only a small problem in comparison to the Krawl… trust me I know.” sighs Jack. Sun understood what he meant and right now, he just tried his best to keep his cool and not stress out over anything, letting Sweetie Drops guide them to meet this… commander that they had mentioned before.
Jack then looks at Sun and says “Look if the commander is willing to trust us with little to no proof I’m sure he won't do anything… but if Sweetie Drops say anything about him take it with a pinch of salt.”
Sun nodded his head as the doors for the command center parted ways, allowing for Sweetie Drops and Twilight to enter first, followed by the Spectrobes Masters and the Faunus that were following them. “Hey, Jack. Is there anything I should know about your commander before we go meet him?” He asked as they made their way to his office.
“Oh yeah unlike most of the ponies you see here, he’s a griffon.” says Jack
That, though, didn’t help Sun. “Yeah… when I first arrived in my world, a griffon locked me up in a cage. Hopefully, things will be better this time around.”
“I will promise you that he won’t harm you… if he tries he won’t get far,” says Jack whilst tapping his Prizmod.
“Yeah… You never exactly told me what that does. Is it like a holster for something?”
“Well you have seen Komainu, this is basically home for my other Spectrobes… although I only have two other at the moment I need to go out to find fossils to find others,” replies Jack.
“Ah okay. That makes sense.” Sun replied back. He was beginning to understand things little by little, but at least, he was actually understanding what was going on around him.
“Anyhow the main threat for everyone in the reality is the Krawl. They are creatures of darkness that have devoured multiple solar systems… the only creatures able to fight then are Spectrobes as they are creatures of light. As I am the only person who can control them it is my burden to stop them.” sighs Jack.
“And your Spectrobes come from Fossils?”
“Yeah… Fossils like this one” he then holds up a fossil that looked like a sword.
“Hey, now that you mentioned that, I found this shortly before your friend found me,” Sun told him, getting one out of his coat pocket and handing it to him. “Can you make heads or tails of what this is by any chance?”
Jack then looks at the fossil and says “Yeah, it’s a fossil for one of the Spectrobes… Leo if I remember correctly.”
“Wow… I honestly did not expect that to be a Spectrobe.” Sun said, before noticing Sweetie Drops by the door. “Oh, I think Sweetie Drops needs us now.”
“Probably The commander needs to debrief me, I was the only agent on the ground for the last mission… I’m really not looking forward to this” sighed Jack.
“Should I wait out here while you get debriefed? I rather not pull the pin on that grenade if I just walk in there without a reason.”
Jack then sighed and says “Look, I really can’t blame you… but if you think about what I’ve been through today this is like a piece of fresh air… no Krawl attacking us and a bit of time to relax.”
“Yeah… I’ll take your word for it.” Sun sighed, not telling Jack that before being summoned, he was chased off of a cliff by a pack of Grimm that savagely brutalized his Queen Chrysalis. Sweetie Drops held the door open for both of them as they soon walked inside.
“I take it the mission was a success?” Commander Grant asked.
Jack then sighed and says “well, mostly… if only I’d got there earlier I may have been able to save the others and not just Twilight… I feel like I failed them.”
“It's alright, you did what you could and they knew the risks…” The commander sighed. “Tell me what you were able to recover, and who’s that boy with the monkey tail outside?”
“Well Commander, we didn’t really find much it was more Twilight who found the Crystal that held the white Krawl as for the man behind us it may be better if he explains it to you.”
“Um… Hello?” Sun replied, walking in. “You must be the commander I was told about.”
“Yes, I’m Commander Grant. What's your name?” The Commander asked.
“Sun Wukong, sir,” He replied, trying to show him respect.
“Well, it's nice to meet you Mr. Wukong.” Commander Grant said with a smile. “Now back to business, we need to go through the data that Professor Sparkle and see what she found. But we also need to find more Spectrobes also.”
“The fossil I gave Jack could be a start,” The Faunus told him, showing the fossil that he gave Jack. “Also, Sun is fine, sir.”
“And Twilight seemed to have found a fair few as well” adds Jack. Catching the Faunus by surprise based on these newfound details. The commander Though just smirked as he stood.
“Then what are you waiting for? Go find a few more and start training the ones Professor Sparkle found.” The commander said before dismissing everyone and leaving for the research and development wing.
Jack then turned to Jen and Sun and said “Well let's get started, we're in this for the long run.”
“Race you to the ship!” Jen shouted before running off.
Jack then sighed and said “I’ll be last place again won’t I?” as both him and Sun try to catch up with Jen and later, tried getting past Jack
“Alright, so Jen… How many fossils do we have in total? Besides, the one that I showed Jack?” Sun asked her as he set the Leo fossil down on a nearby table after they entered the place she called her “laboratory”, which in turn made the Faunus think of when he watched Dexter’s Laboratory as a kid.
“Well, not counting the ones that Twilight kept for her research, we have four fossils,” Jen replied as she pulled out a pair of fossils and set them on the table with the Leo fossil. Jack then pulled out the sword-shaped fossil and placed it on the table as well.
“Okay, which ones are those? I’m getting a feeling that they’re more than just one type, right? I already saw Komainu earlier and Jack told me this one was Leo.” The Faunus said, noticing the sword-shaped one that Jack placed on the table as he pointed at the one he found before arriving here.
Jack then smiles and says “The fossil I found is for Shakin… but this third one, I don’t know, it looks familiar but I can’t remember what it is.”
“Any ideas?” The Faunus asked him
“It's a Torga.” Jen said.
“Okay, and what is a Torga? I’m really new to this.” He said, causing Jen to sigh deeply.
“Torga is a child Spectrobe, that from what I remember was a Corona type, and as you can see from the fossil it looks like a toy RC car.” Jack then looks to Jen and says “Have I missed anything?”
“It’s also a fire type if you go by elements, but that should be it.” Jen said with a shrug.
“Elements? That must have been a origins thing.” replies Jack.
“I would ask… but I think it would be easier if I just let you guys do the explaining.” He said, rolling up the sleeves on his jacket and showing the red armguards that he was wearing.
Jack then looks around to check that nobody else was around then says “Spectrobe was a game that had three separate games related to it, the one I was referring to was the third one released and sadly the last one I know of.”
“And I’m the only one between the two of us to have played it.” Jen said with a slight smirk.
“Well, the more we know about this the better. One question, though… Is it normal for fossils to be shaped like weapons.” The Faunus asked, pointing to the one that Jack set down that resembled a sword.
“To be fair there’s such a large amount that I can’t remember all of them. So it is possible that there could be” admits Jack.
“As far as I can remember that's the only one that looks like a weapon.” Jen said before she Picked up the Torga fossil and walked over to one of the computers. The Faunus was also a little bit curious about some other things that Jack and Jen were telling him earlier, but since they mentioned the possibility of Krawl and Spectrobes being in different dimensions, there was a possibility that it might show up one day in his. If that were to happen, then he needed to be ready somehow besides calling for the two of them. Having him sit on the sidelines when he could be doing something just always got under his skin
Jack and Jen then looked towards Sun as Jack asks him “What was it we had to do for our token?”
“Well, do you two have an item that represents yourselves? Like a badge or something?” He asked.
Jack then looks to his wrist and says “well for me there’s the Prizmod… is it possible to have a shared token?”
“It is possible, but it would mean that sometimes both of you would be summoned together unless otherwise specified. I’m not an expert in how it works.” The Faunus shrugged.
Jack then turns to Jen and says “What do you think… this does affect us both after all.”
“Might as well, I can't replicate the Prizmod though.” Jen said with a shrug.
“That may cause a problem… Sun is there anything else about it that would mean we wouldn’t lose the original?”
“You two are able to keep the original. When the token is sent out into the void, the void makes copies of the token you choose, allowing you to keep the real one.”
“How does it do that?” Jen asked as she put down the fossil and pulled out a notepad and pencil.
“Honestly, I don’t know how. Remember, we’re dealing with the Multiverse,” Sun added on as he continued to speak. “Not everything has the answer you’re looking for or could be easily explained.”
“Sadly Jen you will have to learn to accept that” mutters, Jack, as he removes his Prizmod from his arm. He then turns back to Sun then continues to say “so what would we need to do next?”
“Well, what kind of message would you like to say about you guys?” He asked. “Most tokens usually let you hear a message from the person you summoned, so what would you two like to say to them.” He gave them some time to think of a collective response from Jen and Jack. But it was a little sooner than expected that they had the answer they were looking for.
Jack then smiled then said “Hi, we are Jack and Jen, The Spectrobe Masters. If you are in a position that is too big for you to handle alone or simply want to talk, just hold this token in the air and call on us and we will come to your aid.”
Sun smirked a little. “Okay, I can help from here.” Having Jack pass what they were going to use as a token, Sun used his coin to open up a tear in the void. Tossing the token in, it floated inside the rift as it multiplied. Before closing it, he grabbed the token again, handing it back to him. “There. All finished. Now, maybe we should get back to those Fossils?”
Jack then smiles and says “Did you grab an extra one for yourself?” Jack’s question was answered when he saw an extra token being held by the Faunus’ tail before going into his coat pocket.
“Does that answer your question?”
Jack then smiled and said “Yes… you know, would you like to awaken Torga as your own Spectrobe?”
“Hmm… What about the one I found that I showed you. Leo?” The Faunus suggested, holding the fossil that he showed Jack before meeting his commanding officer.
“Honestly, I don't see it as a proper fit for you.” Jen said, “You seem more of a speed type than a defence type, that's why Jack recommended Torga.”
“Right, but when it comes to that, I’m more speed and strength combined. How else do you think I whack grimm with my staff?”
“No idea… probably out maneuver them using speed? To be fair we have never seen you fight” admits Jack
“Perhaps it’s best that I give you two a demonstration then before making any big decisions.” He offered. “Mostly, I’m a martial artist who is skilled with Hand to Hand combat and using my staff and gunchaku in battle. Besides that and my semblance, my only problem is when an opponent catches me off guard or attacks me from my blindspot.”
“Well by the sound of it, you would be definitely more suited to a speed based Spectrobe” Admits Jack.
“You guys are the experts, not me.” The Faunus sighed, looking back. “Let’s get started.”
Jack then smiled and said, “I’d never call me an expert besides we just started on this trainwreck of a life.” He then walks towards one of the machines and says “First place your Prizmod on your arm.”
Sun did what he was hold, placing it on his right gauntlet as it changed to the color of his medallion. Gold with bits of red along the exterior.
Jack then smiles then says “That looks good on you… Okay, the next step to simply wake up the Spectrobe with your voice.”
“Okay um… Hello?” He said, unsure if there was something specific he needed to say. “Torga?”
“There is bit extra to that, the main thing is that it needs to fit a certain tone that resonates with the Spectrobe, For example when I woke Komainu I had to say wake up three times at different volumes before he woke up,” says Jack.
Sun thought that through, then thought of something. Switching his weapons mode, he took out the ammunition that was in there, replacing the live rounds with something different before looking at Jack. “Does it have to be me or loud noises in general. If it’s the second one, then cover your ears.”
He then looked up then said “I’d say any noise would do, but you would need to sustain the noise for a few seconds.” replies Jack before he and Jen both covered their ears.
Sun nodded, firing three loud shots that just left a dent in the ceiling, but echoed loudly throughout the room as the sound bounced everywhere. Luckily, nothing was broken. But it seemed to do just the trick. Soon, a light emerged from the fossil on the screen, before jumping out and almost knocking the Faunus onto the ground.
Jack then smiles and says “well I think he likes you.”
“G-good to know…” The Faunus chuckled, looking at the Spectrobe for a moment before looking back at Jack. “What happens next?”
“Well at this stage he is just a child Spectrobe… they can help search for fossils, minerals and some other things however they can’t fight like this.” replies Jack. Sun assumed that when it came to this, Spectrobes needed to be cared for before they grow to become full-on adults. How though was another story as le looked back at Jack again. Who continued where he left off. “To evolve a child to an adult requires it to eat a certain amount of minerals for Torga it was five of them” Jack then walks over to the table then passes Sun fives different coloured gems, he then says “once you feed him these in the incubator he will shimmer and then once and then seconds later he will change shape into the next evolution in that Spectrobes chain.”
“I’m going to assume that I can’t feed him all five at once or something like that?”
Jack then smiles and says “Actually... once he’s in the incubator, you just slide in the minerals and he’ll eat them.” Sun, taking his advice, did so and slide them in one at a time, not trying to rush Torga or anything like that. Soon, though, he slipped the fifth one in and watch the Spectrobe eat the final gem that Jack gave him.
“Once you finish this, he will change from Torga to his adult form, I don’t think you can go back after, but this is the first time we’ve actually evolved a Spectrobe so this is all guesswork at the moment” admits Jack.
“And I just call him out if I need his help right?” Sun asked, trying to make sure he wasn’t forgetting anything.
“Once you're sorted I'll show you how to call him” replies Jack. They then looked back to Torga to see him shimmering as Jack say “See the button on the screen?”
“Yes?”
“Once you press that the process will begin.” Replies Jack. Sun then nodded, pressing the button that Jack told him too and seconds later Torga was surrounded by what looked to be a cocoon as he says “use this, trace a line down the centre of the cocoon and the process will be complete.” Replies Jack as he passes Sun what looked like a pen. The Faunus nodded, tracing the line like Jack told him too, and seconds later a new creature appeared.
“Okay, that I honestly did not expect at all.”
“This is Torgazar, there is one more state after this, however, this can’t be attained by using minerals alone, you will need to train him a lot along with lots of mineral and a ton of actual fights.” Seconds later, Torgazar faded away as Jack said, “He is now back in your Prizmod, ready to fight if he is needed.”
“Thanks. That helps a lot.” The Faunus complimented him. “Maybe we should get to those other fossils and see what else can be uncovered.”
“First things first” Jack then turns to Jen then says “This is for you.” He then hands her a Prizmod and says “I did say that I'd get you your own.”
“Wha… When did you get another prizmod!?” Jen asked as she accepted the device in Jack’s hand.
“What you think I wasn’t going to keep my promise?” jokes Jack
“N-no I just didn't expect it so soon… I was thinking you were going to give me one of the origin Prizmod's when we got to that point in the timeline…” Jen muttered as she fixed the prizmod to her left gauntlet.
Jack then laughs and says “You know what, screw the timeline, this is a replacement for that ring.” causing Jen to blush.
“W-well then…” Jen stammered as she hid behind her pink hair while fidgeting.
“sort yourself out your first Spectrobe, Leo, Vilar, or Shakin, it’s your choice.” says Jack
“I think I will start out with Shakin… Leo is too powerful for a beginner like me, and I honestly don't like bugs that much…” Jen said with a nervous chuckle before retrieving the Shakin fossil and loading it into the lab computer. Jen then proceeded to sing for a bit until the Spectrobe she had chosen awoke.
“That should do it I think.” Jen said as she picked up the Shakin, “I think I’ll name you Swift.”
Jack then smiles and says “well, Swift seems to fit you quite well Jen.”
“I second that.” Sun added on to the conversation, seeing how Jen strangely reminded him of his marefriend back home.
“What are you thinking about?” Jen asked as she noticed Sun’s contemplative look.
“Oh you just remind me of somepony I know back in my world,” He replied. “My marefriend, Fluttershy.”
“Fluttershy? Does her name fit her or something?” asks Jack.
“Nah, it’s just that you two have similar personalities in some aspects. Nervous and only comfortable around certain people.” Sun explained.
“Does she also have the same hairstyle?” Jen asked out of pure curiosity.
“Same mane color, that’s for sure.” He said, showing a photograph that he had taken with her and her friends.
“I have a weird feeling like I'm looking at myself through one of those funhouse mirrors…” Jen muttered as she looked at the photo, “Well, at least, my theory was correct.”
“wow, looks like you two make a good couple.” admits Jack
“Thanks. I think this would work better than the last relationship I had. I had to end it because of a family emergency and now in my world, my ex is there and she has a handbag that can turn into a minigun.” The faunus sighed, causing Jen to stare at him in awe over the description of Coco’s weapon.
“Never piss her off, It would be the end of you.” says Jack.
“Trust me, I know. She told me that she drank over seventy shots before going on a bit of a drunken rampage. Coco even insulted my mother… in front of her face.” The Faunus sighed, facepalming himself.
“Was she really that hammered?” asks Jack
“You tell me when she picks a fight with a battalion of royal guards and causes almost a million bits in property damage. Along with the fact that she referred to my mother as little boob lady.”
Jack then shakes his head and says “Yeah she went over the point of no return but never mention any damage to me and Jen we ain't exactly clean, so to say.”
“Don't remind me.” Jen said as she started to shake a bit.
“Is something wrong, Jen? You look nervous-.” Sun said before he was cut off by an ominous roar that shook the ship.
The single roar left Sun on edge as he formed his staff. “Okay, that’s not good is it?”
“Not good…” Jen muttered as she started to shake even more. Looking at Jack, Sun went to the door to try and see what it was. Only to get surprised by something out of the ordinary.
“Jack, we got company”
“Jen what’s wro… Oh, you have got to be kidding me!” He then turns to Sun then says “Well, you get to test out Torgazar”
“Let me guess… It’s those Krawl freaks you were talking about?”
“We have to save the commander!” Jen said as she dismissed Swift into her Prizmod before activating her sword.
“yes, yes they are Sun, and right now we need to get rid of them… but in such quantities, I’ve not seen in such a large group before.” replies Jack
“They must be moving in as a swarm. Try to beat us with overwhelming force.” The faunus stated, looking at his Prizmod. “I’m ready when you are.”
Jack then smiles and says “prepare to see what these idiots are like.” With that, he walked out of the swiftly followed by Sun and Jen.
