Chapter 23 - Drew Saturday

In Drew's Dimension, United States, United Nations Building,

 "Your majesties… I employ you… please reconsider your decision. The countries of the UN can't be trusted. They're literally the reason why your people are hunted all over the world." Drew pleaded, following the King and Queen of Meta city down the hallway.

 "Drew Saturday, as much as I appreciate you and your friend's assistance, and your concerns, but your advice isn't necessary. As a matter of fact, this no longer concerns you. We must do what's good for our people." the queen said.

 "But your majesty, this isn't good for your people. I can guarantee you that the UN is planning something that could destroy you and your people."

 "Then show us your proof." the king said.

 "Unfortunately… I don't have any evidence to show you. But if you just look at the…

 "Enough, Drew!" The queen yelled, silencing Drew immediately. "We invited you here, as a courtesy, to share in historical moment for our people. If you're going to be like this, you can just leave."

 Upset, Drew turned around and left.

Eight months later, the Moon base,

 Drew, Dante, and Avery are sitting on the balcony, having a picnic. Dante then notices Drew wasn't eating. Especially since Dante made sure to pack all of her favorites.

 "You know it isn't good to worry all the time. I'm sure everything will fi… Oh No." Dante said.

 "What's wrong?" Drew said.

 "The Metas are being attacked by the UN's Androids. Do you want to help them?" Avery said as holding a Meatbun.

 "No, they dug this hole when they agreed to that peace treaty. Besides, I can't leave you two here after you brought me this wonderful spread. And I'm needed on Mars to help Amalia and Robyn with our security system." Drew said, picking up a Meatbun.

 "So, you're really putting our house on Mars in this dimension." Dante said.

 "Of Course… With the rise of multiple threats on my Earth, I need to make sure that nobody gets to the people I care about."

 "Understandable… It's the same as Dante having Astral City hidden in his Earth's Orbit. Or Me with my Antarctic Fortress." Avery said.

 "Exactly," Drew said.

 Suddenly, they get a call from the Queen of the Metas. Pressing a button, Drew silences the call. She then picked up a pair of chopsticks and ate from a sushi dish.

Three Months Later, Saturday Labs, Drew's personal lab

 Drew stood at her new invention, the Dimensional Warp Engine, trying to get it to work. Suddenly, a group of Metas walks into her lab.

 "Is there a reason why you and your royal guards are walking into my lab?" Drew asked.

 "Watch your tongue when speaking to our queen," One of the guards said.

 "Anyways, what do you want, Auraria?"

 "Yo…

 "Stand down," the Meta Queen ordered. "Drew, I only came here to hear it from you."

 "Hear what?"

 "Don't you play dumb? You're too smart for that." Auraria said as she walked up and grabbed Drew by her shoulder.

 "What's your problem?" Drew said, pushing away Auraria.

 "You… You're my problem. Do you know how many people died? How many innocent people. Men? Women? Children? Huh! ANSWER ME, DREW? DO YOU?"

 "Well, you didn't listen to me when I told you this would happen eight months before that attack."

 "What?! You attacked our people because we didn't listen to your ridiculous claims."

 "What? You think I attacked you." Drew said. She then laughed. Angrily, the royal guards charged at Drew, trying to kill her. Drew, annoyed, looked at the four of them and sighed. "I won't even need my suit to handle you four." She thought.

 Suddenly, a gauntlet of her regular armors flew into the room and knocked out three of the royal guards before flying onto Drew's hand. Drew then aimed at the last royal guard and smiled. She blasted him into a wall, knocking him unconscious.

 "So, you came here to attack me? After everything I've done for you. How could you even think of something like this?"

 "You left me no choice. You attacked us first." Auraria said as she got ready for a fight.

 "Believe what you want… I expect no less from you." Drew said as more pieces of her armor flew onto her body.

 Yelling, Auraria and Drew charged at each other, causing a huge shockwave as they clashed. Being flung through the wall, Drew realized that she shouldn't hold anything back. "Saturday, evacuate the building." She said as she ejected from the armor.

 Suddenly, an alarm sounded and immediately everyone knew to evacuate the building. Auraria, stepping through the hole, glared at Drew like she was prey. "Sound all the alarms you want to… no one in this world can save you from me." She said.

 "You consider yourself a threat. You're just an old lady who out lived her time period." Drew said as her Mythanium suit formed on her body. Auraria charged at Drew as Drew's helmet formed on her head. Quickly reacting, Drew flew up and blasted Auraria with hard light beams from her palms. However, thanks to her mutation, Auraria was able to absorb it and redirect those beams back at Drew. "Okay… that's annoying." Drew said, before flying at Auraria.

 Auraria smiled and stood still, waiting for it. "What are you waiting for? What's one more Meta life, right?" she said.

 "Oh, this won't kill you. It'll just hurt a lot." Drew said as she blasted, destroying her lab.

Meta Country, the Royal Castle's Throne room,

 The Queen suddenly appeared with the royal guards. The king stood up and rushed to her side. "I take it she didn't want to come quietly." He said.

 "What made you guess? We need to increase secur… a sudden explosion blows off the door from the hinges. "Too late," the queen said.

 Floating into the room, Drew gave off a blood lusted aura that rivaled Avery and Dante. "Your majesties, I believe we have some unfinished business." She said.

 "Your majesties, get to safety. We'll keep her busy." One of the royal guards said as he created a fire ball and blasted it at Drew.

 Reacting quickly, Drew flew up and blasted the guard with hard-light beams. Suddenly, she was hit by a shield. "Seriously," she thought as she looked towards the queen, who was picking up one of the thrones. "You wouldn't dare?" she said before getting hit by the throne into the wall.

 "Seismic… Freeze… Get out of here with the king. HeatStroke… you and Scout with me. We're need to keep her occupied."

 Naala, appearing from the shadows, towering over everyone and blocking the only other exit. Suddenly, Drew pushed the throne off her.

 "Drew, call off your abomination. The King isn't a Meta. He doesn't have to die here."

 "Abomination? That's crazy coming from you. It wasn't too long ago that your friends in UN calling you that same thing. Maybe you two have more in common than you think. I mean besides the obvious."

 Auraria tackles Drew, crashing through wall after wall until they were falling onto a balcony. Mounting Drew, Auraria relentlessly punched Drew helmet, trying to knock it off.

 "Redirect energy chestplate's lasers." Drew said. She then remembered that chaotic future. Her killing the Meta Queen was a catalyst for that future. Drew sighed, stopping the laser's charge. "Naala return home. I'll be there in a minute." Drew said before releasing her armor.

 "What?! Why did you…

 "It's not necessary. I'm done. I'm not going to fight you anymore. As a matter of fact, from this moment forward you and I don't have to talk to each other ever again. I won't be helping your people anymore. Better yet, I won't be helping mankind anymore… I'll just deal with the Cryptids like I was doing before I met you." Drew said.

 "What? But…

 "No… No buts. This is what you wanted… right? Or at least what they wanted. Anyways, get off me." Drew said.

 Auraria didn't move an inch, upset. "I didn't want this. I didn't want to lose a good friend. I just wanted you to ad…" she looks into Drew's eyes. "You didn't do it. Oh my God… what have I done?" she said as she got off Drew.

 Quietly, Drew walked away before instantly teleporting away, leaving Auraria to sulk.
