"And we're here" Saturn said. The mothership was about another two kilometres away from their spot. He flew a little closer to see if there was any threat that would blow their cover.

There was. The mothership was heavily guarded with Morphas. Although they were a lot smaller than the ones down at Mistoreria, they were armed and were able to levitate.

"Hmm," Saturn mumbled in thought.
 
Dragon flew up until she was leveled with Saturn and eyed the horde of demons ahead with an indifferent look on her face. She turned to look at Saturn, "I usually try not to fight. How about you do all the work and I'll defend you and watch your back? I specialise in defence," she said, giving him a look.
 
"Actually," Saturn replied, "I have a better idea. This time I hope you don't slap me again."

He conjured some magical energy into his palm, while muttering some words. Channeling as much magic power into his spell as possible, he formed two illusions. A copy of himself and Dragon. They were real illusions, which meant that if the Morphas fell for it, they would take damaged from it as a result.

"I will send out these people to distract the Morphas," Saturn explained to Dragon, "While they're occupied, we head to the door and go in the ship. And don't worry, I made it so that we are invisible while the illusions are there."

Saturn pointed to the direction the illusions were supposed to take. After that, he signalled the real Dragon to follow him and get to the entrance.
 
Her eyes narrowed. She knew someone who could use magic just like that, except he hated it. He considered it a curse. That didn't stop her from admiring his real illusions, studying them. They behaved just like the real ones, moved like them, probably fought like them, talked and to the minute details it was the exact same. She nodded as he explained his plan, this seemed more safer than rushing headfirst, at least.

She watched as the illusions moved where he pointed, and followed him to the entrance.
 
(I want you to advance the plot for once LOL)

Earlier that day...

"Of course he needs help." The girl muttered as she woke up from her slumber.

This girl's alias was Earth and the Boss of the Solar System Guardians. She had a very tomboyish and brash personality, but would help the people in need whenever she could. Because of her sheer power and having an extraordinary perception, Earth had a fearsome reputation amongst her enemies. She also had a boyfriend, who was (and still is) Saturn.

When she was talking to Saturn through telepathy, she could tell that he wanted help, contrary to what he actually said. After some consideration, she came to the conclusion that it was best to go to Mistoreria to assist him.

However, she also needed someone else to come with her. She walked along the corridors of her mansion/base and knocked on the door with 'U' on it.

"Sup," the person came out of the room, "What do you need?"
"Come with me to Mistoreria, we need to help Saturn!"
"Mate I want to celebrate and treasure my free time!" The person replied.
"It's an emergency, Uranus!" She yelled.

Uranus promptly agreed. He obviously didn't want to do this, but he made a promise to never disobey the boss.

Uranus had a similiar personality to Saturn-quiet (lol), well-composed and calm. Unlike Saturn, however, he tends to avoid fighting one-on-one with people, despite actually being quite a good duelist. He'd rather lurk in the shadows with no gimmicks to cover him and strike when the time was right.

"Fine," Uranus finally agreed, to the happiness of Earth, "Where's this Mistoreria place?"
 
Dragon flew around the Mothership and prodded around the outside for some sort of opening. Spotting what seemed to be a sealed back entrance near the bottom of the Mothership - possibly an emergency exit - she summoned Terrae to help her do the job of ramming the door down. However, just before the serpent readied its rock solid head, Dragon stopped it. "No, it'll attract too much attention. I want you to eat it." The serpent blinked, it had never ate metal before. But it was a cousin of his element, so it wouldn't be hard to try. With its head it slammed it against the door once, denting it. Opening its maw, it sunk its teeth into the metal, shaking its head and trying to pull down the door. Dragon cheered on it mentally, watching as the door slowly broke down as the sheer strength of the serpent's jaw crushed it. She hopped inside and beckoned for Saturn to jump inside with her.

Inside, the Mothership was lit with an eerie blue glow. Lights flickered everywhere and sounds beeped once every thirty seconds. The inside had an horrible stench that messed with Dragon's sense of smell. She covered her nose with her sleeve and moved forward slowly and cautiously. Looking up, she noticed several security cameras, but they were facing down so she assumed they were turned off. She ran forward and turned the corner and groaned as she saw the path they were on fork into three seperate ones, which forked into another set and another and another. This place was a maze! How were they going to get out? Plus, she had no idea how to get around the Mothership, which meant she would have no idea where the control panel for the shield would be. She stood there and thought about it, where a control panel for the shield most likely to be? The first thing she thought of was the rooms closest to the outside of the ship. The outer ring of the interior. That way, the signal would be stronger and travel faster, which made sense if the barrier needed to be strong. Ignoring the forking paths, she continued down. The path was always angled, which meant they were definitely on the outer ring of the spaceship on the lowest floor. Hopefully the control panel would be straight ahead.

"I swear the mothership was smaller that this!" Saturn was bewildered. The Mothership's interior was literally more than ten times the inside of his base, which was considered very large. Security cameras were peppered everywhere throught the ship, which forced him to use more illusions to create a fake vision for the camera, so the people behind the desk wouldn't know someone got in.

He ran down the corridor, hoping to find some navigation system and at least get a map of this hulk of steel. Of course, it was dangerous with all the Morphas popping out of nowhere and trying to gut your insides out.

"God, where are this motherfucker's navigation booths?" Saturn said as he was running,"A big ship like this should have at least one booth per a hundred metres and I haven't even find one after half a kilometre!"

Dragon sighed, "I'm pretty sure most of the aliens on the ship know where they are and where places are, there's no need for these 'navigation booths' you speak of." She had no idea what he was talking about but she put two and two together, creating a vague idea of what it was. She continued walking down the curving path, stopping once in a while to see if she could hear aliens coming their way or the humming of the control panel. Finally, at the end of the corridor, a giant metal door stood in their path. A sign with strange characters was drilled into it. Strange enough, there were no cameras or guards. Dragon pressed her ears to the door and strained to hear some sort of noise. When she concentrated, she could hear a very faint humming noise from behind the door. It might be the control panel! But she wasn't very sure. She pointed at the sign, "Do you know what that says?"
 
"But this ship is huge!" Saturn replied, "Another purpose of navigation booths is so that you can get from place to place via teleporting to different booths so you don't have to walk a million miles to get from A to B!" Saturn wondered if Dragon had ever been on a modern spaceship before, thinking he wasted his energy to clarify such an obvious thing.

They arrived at a giant door with strange characters on the door. Saturn couldn't read it, and he couldn't risk going in blind and get his bum whooped like what happened couple of hours ago with the shield.

"Ehh, let's just test this out with a guinea pig." Saturn made another illusion of himself and went in stealth mode. The fake Saturn knocked three times onto the door to see if there was anyone in there.

A Morpha emerged from the room and instantly grabbed the fake Saturn's head, trying to twist it so that it would swiftly kill 'him'. The real Saturn took this chance to quickly assassinate the surprised Morpha and ran into the room.

"Well," Saturn panted, "I guess is the control panel for the shield. Who knew they would only let one Morpha to guard such an important room."
 
"Well, if aliens were this stupid. You must have an easy job," she mocked him as she entered the control panel room. The tone he used to explain what a 'navigation booth' was as if she was an idiot, like it was something everyone should know - common knowledge. She held her head high, if this foolish man came back to her country in a different universe, she would have a laugh! Such a modern man would not cape with the old-fashioned styled rules of the city. He would probably be sent to Meka for doing something stupid and rant on about aliens, although Dragon thought the place would rather suit him.

"Do we just smash it?" she asked, an eyebrow raised. Horse was the expert with technology, she had no idea what she was meant to be looking at.
 
"Well if we were to smash it, it would probably backfire on us." Saturn sat down into the chair, trying to hack into the systems. If Mercury was here, he would've only taken about thirty-seconds to completely deactivate the shield. Since the kid wasn't here, he took a long time to finally set the barrier to sleep mode. After all, his knowledge about working with high-tech was rather limited, unlike Mercury.

He didn't really give a rat's ass about Dragon's opinion and insults directed at him. Saturn knew people either viewed him as a smart and cunning man or a mentally disabled child, nothing in between. In other words, he knew that he was somewhat a controversial figure, but he was indifferent to people's divided opinions about him.

"And judging by the static noise, the barrier is now turned off." Saturn turned to Dragon with a thumbs-up. At that moment, the floor shook, but it wasn't caused by the barrier shutting down...

It was cause by the beings inside the ship. Saturn peeked out of the door, only to meet the glares of an endlessly long line of marching Morphas in the corridor, setting the duo as their targets.

"Oh great." Saturn rolled his eyes and pulled out his scythe, "Get ready to rumble."
 
Dragon watched as the boy tapped on what seemed like random buttons to her and after a while the humming stopped, replaced by a static sound. She was quite impressed, she'd never learnt how to use a computer before, she'd much rather live her life amongst nature like humans were meant to.

She took a step back to balance herself when the ship rumbled, that didn't sound good. When the boy went to look out the door, she hoped it wasn't anythin too serious. But when he pulled oit his scythe she sighed tiredly.

"Sometimes I wonder why I work with you," she said, shaking her head as she fell into a defensive stance, holding her staff horizontally in front of her.
 
"If I wasn't working with you, you probably would've not made it this far." Saturn fired back.

He went through each Morpha one-by-one. After about half-an-hour, their still didn't decrease, much to his frustration. Then he glanced at the other end of the corridor. More Morphas were coming from that end, too.

"Great, we're gonna be surrounded," Saturn yelled. "I'll focus my left end and you do the other."

At that moment, he heard a shout. A red dot appeared on the ground, following the creatures, as if it was aiming for them. He heard another shout, this time more clearly.

"GET OUT THE WAY!" It yelled. Saturn jumped up to the ceiling and told Dragon to do the same.

Seconds after, a beam almost filled up the entire corridor. The heat felt throughtout the entire room evaporated the Morphas instantly.

Wait what, Saturn thought, this magic, why is it so familiar? Two shadows emerged from the smoke. One was laughing.

"I knew you needed help," she started, "thanks to my mind ability, We knew where you were."
"Hadn't we came," the other one said, "You guys would've got whooped by those goo-things."

They walked closer and closer. Saturn still couldn't make out their appearance. But when they were about ten metres away, Saturn's eyes widened. He didn't expect they were going to come.

It was Earth and Uranus

Dragon raised her staff and smacked it straight down on the head of the closest alien, smashing its head and the spine. Raising her hand, she opened two glowing circles. One red and one blue. From the circle emerged a serpent head covered in seaweed and another one covered in tongues of fire. The serpents intertwined as they headed for the aliens, transforming into a blast of fire and a large jet of water. The serpents sent them flying before transforming back and chomping down on the closest creatures.

She noticed a red dot appear out of nowhere, chasing after the aliens. She jumped out of the way at the shouting voice. Her sensitive ears picked up a humming noise, like something was charging up. She leapt back into the room just in time to save herself from the beam that disintegrated the aliens. She looked up at the two new figures, "Who are you two?" she snarled.
 
"I'm Earth, the boss of where Saturn works at." Earth introduced herself rather haphazardly, and put her arms around Saturn. "I guess you're Saturn's buddy."
"And I'm Uranus," the other boy replied and crossed his arms. "The smarter one out of these two."

Both Saturn and Earth gave him a death glare and resisted the urge to punch him in the face. Although it was true Uranus was actually more calculative than the two, he was just joking around. However, sometimes it was extremely hard to tell that he was being sarcastic, and this was one of those moments.

"Anyway," Earth stretched her arms, "We just wanted to help you two to destroy this Mothership. Does anyone have a map of this whole ship?"
"Nope." Saturn replied.
"Then find one, Pineapple!" Earth facepalmed and ran down the endless corridor, which now had the wires and bent steel sticking out of the walls because of the collateral damage done by Earth earlier.

"This is why I work alone," Uranus muttered as Saturn and Earth bolted off, then turned to Dragon, trying to read her emotions right now, "I know how you feel."
 
"I wouldn't say 'buddy', I prefer acquaintances," Dragon replied to the strange looking girl. When she put her arm around Saturn, she lifted her long sleeve to cover her mouth and smiled to herself. The couple looked rather cute, she wasn't sure if they were dating, but she wasn't interested in Saturn anyway. She bowed to Uranus, at least he looked saner than the other two. Maybe they could be friends. She smiled again when she noticed Saturn and Earth's death glare, all of them reminded her of the Zodiac. Suddenly, she felt a bit homesick. She missed home, even though she was the one who requested a holiday, sometimes she regretted it.

Earth was certainly had the aura of a good leader, but Dragon found her personality too much for her. She tilted her head in confusion, what kind of nickname was Pineapple? When Uranus spoke to her, she turned around and smiled. "I have a partner as well, but he doesn't fly straight into barriers unlike your friend there," she said, laughing.
 
"Sadly, Saturn does have a tendency to randomly charge into people's defences" Uranus told Dragon, and sighed, "You would think someone who utilizes illusion magic would be smarter than that." He then ran after Saturn and Earth.

"ABOUT FUCKING TIME!" Saturn yelled as he finally approached the door of one of the ship's Navigation Booths, followed by Earth and Uranus. It had a white door with strange green liquid flowing through it. There was also a hand scanner next to the door, signalling that only authorised personnels could enter it.

"Damn it!" Saturn whispered, banging his fists onto the door. "How the hell are we gonna get through the security scanner?"
"We could always kill one of those gooey thingys and use their 'handprints'." Earth replied.
"Bro did you not see what you did to the aliens?" Uranus shot back, his palm on his face, "If we kill one, they'll not even leave a trace on the floor."

At that point, Saturn already used his magic to look like a Morpha. "Don't kill me, I think I've got an idea to bypass the scanner."

He placed his hands onto the scanner, hoping it would not reject his request. It didn't and the door opened.

"Woo," Saturn fistbumped Earth and Uranus, and walked into the room. "Now we can get a better idea of the interior of this place."
 
Dragon raised her hand, ready to slap Saturn for profanity. The only reason why she stopped heself was because of Earth and because she wanted to make a good impression. She watced the team come up with ideas to bypass the scanner, studying their teamwork. She felt a bit left out but she didn't mind, after all, she was the odd one out. She kept silent and followed them around soundlessly.

When the illusion boy transfomed into the alien, she watched curiously. She wanted to see how the magic worked, how it worked from inside. She was obsessed with magic - unhealthily obsessed - and learning about all types of magic was what she liked to do. Watching them fistbump, she smiled to herself. The more she stayes with them, the more she was homesick.
 
"Holy crap," Saturn was bewildered as he looked at the map. "Why is this place so complicated?"
"Gimme that!" Earth snatched the holographic map out of Saturn's hands, much to the annoyance of the latter. "Hmm, let's see where the cockpit is."

Earth fiddled around with the map, trying to find the shortest route to the cockpit. As the boss of her Solar System clan, she had be able to read such maps efficiently, as she was the one who had to lead her team throughout missions. It took a while for her to learn to be able to quickly scan maps, but now she do it as easily as lying down on a couch.

They she told everyone to come around, so that she could show them how to quickly get to the cockpit.

"You sure this is the quickest way to get there?" Saturn raised his eyebrow in doubt. "I swear there's a shorter way than this route."
"Trust me," Earth replied, "I tried to find a faster way than this, but there weren't any other options and none of the navigation booths allow us to teleport directly to the cockpit."
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Uranus said, "The faster we finish this mission, the quicker I can get back home and resume my holiday break."

Saturn and Uranus ran off, with Earth trailing behind. She was starting to see through Dragon's emotions, which Earth noticed with her enhanced perception.

"Are you homesick?" Earth replied, "It's okay if you are, we all feel that way sometimes when we are alone in a completely different world. But I see it as a way to develop alone and obtain more experiences that you get working independently."
 
Bewildered at the futuristic map, she stood back and let the three of them study it. She was no good with a map, much less a futuristic one. However, when the girl asked them to gather around she did so. She tried to decipher the screen but failed miserably. Dragon was going to have to follow them around. Saturn and Uranus ran off down the path the girl had set to the cockpit. She followed swiftly behind, eyeing Earth who was trailing behind.

"Are you homesick?"

Dragon sighed, was it that obvious? She had no reason to lie to Earth, so she answered truthfully. "Yes, I am. But I asked for a holiday, I have no right to say anything." She looked at Earth, "In my world, women need to make a journey to discover the ways of magic, I am used to it now. Don't worry about me."
