New Beginning 22: Once Upon a New Beginning...

[The Narrator]

"Wow.  You'd think Marv here would have a way for us to get home....."

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Hey, without my powers I'm just a sentient lump of humanoid quartz. Karma could fly me back, but the rest of you'd still be stuck here."

A sputtering portal appears near me before fully materializing as Suzu pops out with a black sword at her side and a a rose-colored heart pendant around her neck, "Well, I've got a way back to that third planet, Mistress, but anywhere else is iffy. The Heart's powers are a little off right now. Anyone know how to stabilize it or is this a result of those computers?"

[Celadon's Penultimate]

The Penultimate sets the Martian back on the ground, and the Martian replies, "Hm, the likes of you all, taking out things of that technological capacity, with the current state of your abilities...Well, good luck with that. If you need some help, perhaps you can tune into our Twitter account for updates on what the Martian databases can glean about schematics. Until then, though, I'd actually be most grateful if your like would kindly vacate out planet. Our trouble seems to have started when you arrived, and the powers you have displayed since exiting that young man's head over there, has done nothing to prove otherwise."

With a half-hearted soldier-like salute to the Penultimate and his allies, Marvin the Martian hurries off, back in the opposite direction, toward the wild, Martian distance.

The Penultimate looks back to his comrades, "Well...hate to say it, but Marv--er, Marvin, is right. Like I said before, we need to get the heck off this planet, to somewhere we can better organize our thoughts. Phi, whenever you or Crescent are ready with a gate. Oh, and did anybody catch the name of the Martian Twitter feed? We...we really do need to know what all we're up against."

So people, you'd think one of you could get us somewhere on earth.  No one has any home base that we could hide out in on Earth that can be reached in a normal, not regular way?

"He has a point..."

Hey, did you forget that I have that place in.....

"No....  We're not going there."

Why?

The place isn't set for business, it's set for fun.  Your fun.  Just hush and let others handle it

Areson makes a sad face and kicks the dust.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"Earth? That defenseless hunk of rock? Bah, we'd be safer on Aeon, Cykosha or Celadon."

[Celadon's Penultimate]

"Not sure. But c'mon, we'll figure it out on the way." The Penultimate replies, "So, Phi, Crescent? Either of you have a gate ready for us to use? And where are we headed? Earth? Celadon? Somebody else's planet?"

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Suzu shrugs, "Nope, no idea where those are. I know of spots in other dimensions, but some of the ones I can connect to right now are really unsavory. Or we could go to Mistress' home city."

[Philote]

"Right this way to Haven" I say as I open up the floating door. Beyond is the familiar space of Haven. A mansion floats within the space at Haven's center, the location that the gate would open. Around the mansion, a golden horizon is dotted with similar doors rotating around the space of the mansion, each one engraved with markings representing the dimensions they represent.

The Penultimate hurries through, and Brutus follows.

(Anything in particular we need to know about Aeon, Phi?)

[Philote]

(Haven, not Aeon. Its the inter-dimensional hub connected to Aeon's dimension)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Suzu and I follow into the dimensional hub, looking around in interest at our surroundings.

[The Narrator]

*Narrator walks towards the door when he feels a mental tug

Narrator grabs his head*
"Crud, he's trying to get loose.  Areson, did you close the door when you got out?"

Uhhhhhh.....

 He didn't

"Great, I'm sure that will be a problem later, let's go you two."

*Narrator, and his mental forms leave thru the door*

[Celadon's Penultimate]

(Sorry, thought it was ON Aeon.  )

"From here we have access to anywhere my Gates have access. They are not based on my own power so they should remain relatively operational."
