"Eh, Kiva!"
Doctor Kiva Andrews looked up the steps from Coops basement and scowled.
"What is it, Coop?"
"I just want to show you my latest modification to MEGAS!"
Kiva Andrews scowled. She could only wonder what stupid modification he'd done to her precious robot. Really, while he had proven his ability as a pilot time and time again, she still did not trust his modifications. She could not count the number of times one of his strange modifications blew up in their faces… just the words 'Super Destructo Mode' were enough to make her skin crawl.
Oh, sure she had to admit, once in a while he could come up with a good idea or two… she'd have never thought up the manual control rig, and the Jammer was as creative a system as it was blatantly sadistic – She wouldn't even wish coops singing on Gorath… okay, maybe Gorath but no one else.
"Okay, what did you do now?" She asked irritably as she entered the garage.
"Calm down, Red," Jamie remarked from the back of the car, as he calmly sipped a orange soda, "No need to get so pissed." "Where's Coop."
"Ah, he's just finishing up a few things down below…"
Kiva blinked. "Down below?"
As if to answer her question, the hatch on the floor that lead to MEGAS's interior opened, and Coop popped his head out.
"Eh, Kiva!" he exclaimed, "Great timing!"
"Not really… you asked me to come."
He blinked. "Oh yeah…"
"So what have you done to Megas this time?"
"Yeah, Coop," Jamie added, "I hope its not something that’s going to get us all killed.
"Like when have I ever come up with anything like that?"
Both of the others gave Coops a piercing glare.
"Okay, okay…" Coops smiled. "Come on down and I'll show you what I've done."
Jamie scoffed. "This better be good Coop…"
The video game enthusiast entered the robot followed by his sarcastic friend and the red head from the future.
Both of them had been inside Megas before. Kiva had been the one to rebuild it after if had stolen from the Glorft and knew more about it than any one person alive… or at least had before Coop got his hands on it. Jamie had been down there one or twice as well, usually with Kiva trying to stay out of her way.
They both knew that MEGAS's interior was tight and usually hazardous, with the exception of the cluttered auxiliary control room that Coop had constructed. The last thing they ever expected to see what in fact, what they did see…
Both Kiva and Jamie gawked as they look around at what seemed to be a mixture of a Star Trek corridor, the hallway of a small apartment building, and the bastard offspring of Monster Garage and Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
"Coop… what is this?" Kiva asked, her jaw agape.
"With all the time we spend in space and stuff, I thought maybe we could use some place to hand on long missions besides the car. I installed a bunch of rooms, hooked it into the life support system, and even threw in some other stuff…"
Jamie smiled, "Eh, Coop, that’s a great idea!"
Kiva nodded, "I have to agree… but how did you fit all of this into Megas?" He shrugged, "Ah, I just tweaked that pocket dimension thingy that all the ammo-magazines are hooked up to."
Kiva gawked. "That's… brilliant. How did you come up with something like that?"
Coop shrugged. "Not sure… I just woke up and I had…" Coop melodramatically waved his had into the air. "A vision!"
Jamie scowled, "Coop, have you been eating candy off the mall floor again?"
"Hey, that Baby-Ruth bar was still good…"
"What ever Coop…"
"Excuse me," Kiva asked, "But we still can get to the maintenance crawlspaces, right?"
Coop nodded. "Yeah, I have hatches all over the place. You want me to show 'em to ya?"
Kiva nodded, "Yes, that would be for the best…"
"Great," Coop replied, "I'll open them up and show them to you."
Kiva nodded and Coop bend over and opened a half-concieled hatch on the floor.
"Here's one of 'em, I'll go get the others"
"Thanks…" Kiva looked in the hatch and paused. The hatch lead down into a small room filled with strange technological thingies and doohickeys, but one that sat happily nestled in the side of the far wall immediately caught Kiva's attention.
"That's… a time drive controller!" she gasped, "MEGAS has a secondary time drive controller!?"
"So this is the time drive you've been making all that fuss about?" Jamie bend over and put his soda down to get a look. "I guess that Evil Alternate Universe Coop must have installed it or something…"
"Do you know what this means Jamie?" Without missing a beat she responded to her own question, "I can go home! I can save the Earth!"
"Hey Kiva!" Coop exclaimed as he turned the corner. "I got the other hatches open!"
As he walked forward, he kicked Jamie's drink, sending it flying through the hatch, right into the Time Drive Controller.
"My Soda!"
"The Time Drive!"
The drink struck the delicate piece of equipment, sending orange soda into the delicate system. Moments later it began to spark and frizzle with energy.
Coop barely had time to mutter "woops" before the controller began to glow, and world turned white.
