No longer Team Dream

Aspen sighed and gave a reluctant nod. Great, three days of boredom. Deciding to attempt to make the best of it the nineteen year old turned to Trevor and commented, "so, I haven't seen you around before. Well, seeings we will be stuck here for three days I guess we should get to know each other."

Trinity seemed either enraged, or upset. "You can't think of anything productive to do?!", she asked him, slapping him in the back of the head. She sighed, then huffed. "Gus can be such idiots sometimes, your time coudl be better devoted by trying to figure out if we have any loose grunts out there.", she demanded to Theodore, knowing Venus did not want to date him.

Zonon was listening to the conversation for a while now, he decided he would make his grand appearance now. He smiled and broke in into the conversation, "Oh my, retiring from Team Dream?" He said, jumping out from the rock he was on. "Why are you doing this, anyway?"
He continued, "If you two retire, Jhotto and Hoenn would be dreamless, if you, Trinity, retire, then Hoenn would lose a measurable scale of power" He walked over to them, "Venus, what about Star? How are you going to look after her without the Team Dream, your salary IS rather big" He turned his face to Theo, "What about your parents and town folks? Didn't you want to cure them? They might be dead now but don't you want to gain some money to use it to prevent more people from dying the way your loved ones did?" He shook his head in disbelief. "Then, the other way around, Venus could look after Star with a regular job, like a regular mother." He brightened up, "Theo could study more and be a doctor, too." He looked at Trinity, "You had no purpose when you joined the Team Dream," He said, "My goal was to disguise myself and gain protection from the police, I'm still a wanted fugitive of the law." He looked upwards, "I had no purpose, either, if you retire, then I retire, where would I be?" He wondered.

"We're only retiring from team dream. I run my own team now, Team Astro. And who said I don't have any money? Quite the contrary otherwise I wouldn't be able to build a new base" Venus says watching the constrution in the volcano below

Zonon looked helplessly at the rising evil. "Oh, really?" He complained, "Well, I officially retire from the whole group." He said out loud, "If you have anything to ask of me, please do so." He said, kindly, "I would have no goals, I have more unfinished business to handle at Minoru." He said, looking determined, "What are your goals with this new team, anyway?"

"The same. So your not going to work for me in Team Astro? How would you get funding for your projects" Venus asks him

Star pops up next to Venus one hand on Erabus because she couldn't carry him anymore as he was the size of a small mightyena. She had also brought Seishiro along

Trinity had enough. "Leave. This is an organization where teamwork is key, and besides, I'm a public face, I'm a perfect hiding spot for Venus' new organization, as I can and will keep them properly funded, and give use of my skills.", she said. "And if you can't respect me, then I won't offer to pay whatever your worth.", Trinity said with a disgusted tone.

"Well, I'm fine," Zonon smiled at Trinity, "I'll leave." He turned his face to Venus, "Take care of Star." He said, "Other than that, I'm heading to Minoru," He continued, "I won't be in this new team, but just give a call if you want anything, let it be a solution or some item to fix something," He went on with a sad tone, sad to leave the group, "or even better, maybe for tea, name anything, I'll be right there."

Aspen silently watched Zonon, waiting for Trevor to respond. It seemed strange to her that he was not coming, did he not want power? If it where her she would have stood up to Trinity, show her her place. Yet here I am, listening to her...

"Can we come with you? I havn't been to minoru very much and I doubt Seishiro here has been at all" Star asks a hopefull look in her eyes

"If that's what you want Star, I'll personally be happy to take you, but not within the next week, I have two very important people to prepare for a mission, so I'll tell you when I'm able, and then we'll need to work something out.", she said. She did have a heart, just not one that could stand Zonon. Or could she?

"Anyway, Trevor, Aspen.", Trinity said. "I'll be taking you two to infiltrate an enemy organization soon. You'll need to very well lose your attitude, because Venus needs to know what she'll be up against when she rises from a broken dream.", Trinity finished. "I myself was going to go, but things have came up, so I can't, I expect you two to handle it and find out as much as you can after you've been recruited, but you've got to be discipline, obediant, and most importantly, crafty.", she finished.

She looked towards Zonon. She approched him casually, dropping a card on the ground with her many addresses, listed across regions. "You'll welcome to take the Moonlight City Mansion I purchased, it's actually got an underground labratory, old though, but I'm sure you'll get it working.", Trinity said.

"You're welcome to tag along," Zonon smiled at Star and Seishiro, "I could use some company." He looked at Venus. "But that's if your mother agrees." He ended. He was happy to do anything for Star in gratitude.

He picked up the card and smiled at Trinity. "Gee, thanks!" He said, joyfully, "I'll be sure, I was kind of thinking of staying in Minoru for a while." He was grateful. "You would let me stay there, wouldn't you?" He asked Trinity, eagerly.

"Fine, just stay out of trouble." Venus sighs knowing how likely that would be

"Yah!" Star says excitedly

"Well, yes, why else would I offer to be paying any bills, excluding food?", she stated. "Yeah, it's okay, I just don't want to see the place trashed when I take Star out to see Minoru, unless she goes with you now, and Venus could use a vacation but...", she said, trailing off to avoid any mentions that Theodore was very untimely. "...I don't think she'd take it considering how busy she is.", Trinity finished.

Trevor sighed"sure,lets do that"he said sitting down,waiting


Theo relaxed,ignoring Trinity's anger at him,and just relaxed,his eyes closed,and he leaned back,enjoying a good break."i believe some skeleton has a bunch of grunts,trying to make his own group out of them"says Theo not worried.

"I'm going with Zonon! Oh, better pack. Home for a moment Erabus!" Star says holding onto Erabus as he teleports her away so she could pack

"Does anyone know what to do with kids that seem to attract trouble?" Venus asks sighing

Theo looked at her"ground rules,in other words,laying down some rules,and if she doesnt follow them,ground her,treat her like the thing she isnt,a normal kid"says Theo still eating,and drinking coffee,looking around.

"She doesn't do anything wrong, she just attracts trouble. Almost literaly" Venus sighs

"Oh yes." Zonon said, with his eyes wide open, "I know it much better than you three do." He had been star's body guard for almost an year now. He remembers protecting her from a weird robot, protecting her from a pack of Mighteyna, and recently, Star even turned INTO a Mighteyna. Not to mention he was chasing her by orders for the first few days, and ended up as close as an uncle. "Trinity, thanks again, for the offer. I'll keep it clean." He turned to Venus, "She was born for adventures, the lucky girl!" Zonon smiled.

"Well do me a favor, get her to take some sort of fighting leasons. I'd feel better knowing she could protect herself some. I'll send money for however much it'll cost" Venus says

Star and Erabus pop back up this time with Star carrying a suitcase. "All ready!" Star says grinning

"I think I'll take her lessons, Ma'am Venus," Zonon smiled, "I'm not a bad fighter myself, am I?" He pulled up his bag which he was wearing on one shoulder. With the other hand he did what he always does, he firmed his hat, pressing it hard on his head. "Come along," He called Star and Seishiro. He sent out his Tropius and sat on it's back. "Hop on!" He called them.

"Hmm, wait, Venus, Star wasn't the only child, weren't there other kidnapped that knew her?", Trinity asked Venus.

"The others havn't popped up in awhile. And havn't you noticed? The reason Star is still around is because she's my daughter" Venus says

Theo sighed"thats lame,i tried teaching star to fight,but then she denied it,so i decided not to teach her,but she can dodge insanely well"says Theo relaxing,not sure if he had told Venus this story.

"I'm just fast from running but I don't want to fight" Star says

"Well your going to learn even if you never actually fight" Venus says
