WHAT THE...

...Let me get this picture right.

A chao...a pikachu...a bomchu...a chu chu...and anything else you had left?

What kind of Victor Frankenstein are you?!

"XION!" Malta screams from the back of the ship. Xion turns back and rushes back. Another rocking of the ship...Xion gets slammed against the wall, and knocked cold.

...Xion wakes up. Glancing at the wall clock...300. "My head..." Xion says in a moan. He tries to get up, but notices that the passage has seemingly gotten shorter. The area is very dark. Xion mumbles a few words under his breath, laying on his back, and a small blue light appears in his hands. Noticing now that the entire ship is cocked sideways, he looks to the area with the cockpit. "Gradient!"

Gradient swivels in his chair, undoubtably strapped in. "Something wrong, Xion? You were knocked out for quite a while. Jumpdrive has been enabled, we should be at the edge of peep territory by 346."

"Ya think there's something wrong here? First of all the lights are out, and secondly THE SHIP IS ON A TILT!!!" Xion says, a little angered. Gradient turns around, looking at the outside. The outside is a wormhole, pale blue and white mixing and interweaving around in itself. Gradient swivels back around and gives Xion a confused look. "Try holding your arm out straight. Then relax it. Watch where it goes." Gradient extends his arm straight out in front of him, then lets it go, flopping off to the left. "See? The Gravity is stuck on the left. Readjust it, please."

"umm...how?" Gradient questions. Xion suddenly appears at the left side of Gradient, clinging to the chair. "How'd you do that?"

"Blink. Planesmage ability." Xion calmly says, then presses a few buttons on the control panel. A few moments later, the lights come back on and Xion is on his feet. "Get some rest, Gradient. I'll take it from here." Gradient nods, unbuckles, and goes back to his room. "Oh, and Gradient..." Gradient looks back at Xion. "...Where's Tia?"

"In your room, in your bed...last I saw." Gradient says.

"And I bet the last you saw was before you accidentally put the ship on a tilt." Xion says, pressing a few buttons. The word "AUTOPILOT" appears on the screen and Xion heads back into his room.

Sure enough, Tia's fast asleep in the edge of the room. Xion lifts her in his arms, and puts her in the bed. Xion covers her up, and she rolls over with a sigh. Xion heads out to Malta's room to see how she is. Malta's fast asleep in front of the computer, with a note attached to it. The note reads as follows:

"Xion, I have some footage to show you. Let me know when I wake up. Malta."

Xion pockets the note, pats Malta on her head, then heads back to the cockpit. Xion sits down in the chair, straps in, and maintains the controls.
