After a couple of hours, we arrived at the next city. It was Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The girls convinced Max to stay at the hotel again, so we found a good four-star hotel and settled into it.
It was practically the same room as the one we had in San Francisco. Also three rooms, one living room and two bedrooms, with two beds in each.
This time, I managed to persuade Grandfather and I was able to pay for the room, without any fraud.
Moreover, Max noticed that I paid for a room in San Francisco. Most likely, he realized that no matter what he said, I still would not let him spend his money and finally gave up.
Since this is the case, I offered not to save money and find a five-star hotel, but then Grandpa insisted on his own and did not allow me to spend money on trifles.
In general, we checked into the hotel and had lunch there. There was a good restaurant downstairs, and that's where we stuffed our stomachs.
It was already relatively late, so Max went to bed, and the girls and I finally decided to spend some time alone.
We slipped out of the hotel and went to walk around the city and see local sights. At the same time, Gwen and Ashley, all the time hugged my arms.
Also, from time to time we kissed. All in all, we had a good date.
We returned to the hotel by midnight, after which we kissed in the living room for another half an hour. When we were finally able to break away from each other, it was already deep night.
After saying goodbye to the girls, I went to my room, got into bed and immediately fell asleep.

July 6, 2010
I woke up at 4 o'clock in the morning. As always lately, I decided to mind my own business while everyone was still sleeping.
Leaving the room, so as not to wake Grandpa, I turned into the Two-Tails and teleported to Mars.
I ended up in the 'Megacruiser's' control room. First, I turned into a Ghostfreak and using this alien, I wanted to explore the ship.
It took me an hour to fully explore the entire ship. In the end, I never found anything interesting.
This ship did not even have residential cabins, since the main inhabitants of this ship were robots.
No, of course there was a place where the captive gladiators lived, but it was just a large room where the gladiators lived all together.
The only living room on the entire ship was created specifically for the champion. It, until recently, was occupied by Technorg.
The largest room on the ship is the arena. Well, that's understandable. There were seats for 100'000 spectators. But, as I said, all the spectators were here virtually.
They used a special VR helmet, which was quite common in the galaxy, and connected to the broadcast.
In fact, these gladiator fights were banned, so it was all broadcast over the galactic darknet.
The arena itself was almost 1,5 kilometers in diameter. She filled the entire middle part of the ship. In front of the ship there was a central cabin, where there was a captain's bridge. Under the bridge was the storage of all the robots.
It was from there that the gladiator robots entered the arena. And it was there that the samurai robots were that acted as guards on the ship and Slix's bodyguards.
At the back of the ship, there was an engine and a core. In general, the engine room.
Having finished with the inspection, I ordered Morgana to bring all the robots that were on board the ship to the surface of Mars.
They are strong enough to withstand the atmosphere of this planet. Moreover, thanks to the dome of sand, they will not suffer from strong winds.
There were 3,000 gladiator robots and 500 samurai robots in total. The truth is, I don't need those gladiators. To me, they are just pieces of metal. Plus, they're not very good.
But the samurai, I can use. When I reprogram them, they'll be good guards or cooks. Basically, servants. But that's later.
When all the robots were outside, I put on my suit and went to the surface of the planet.
Just before leaving, I covered my body with a layer of magic to protect myself from the harsh conditions of Mars. This is somewhat similar to what the Green Lanterns use to be in the vacuum of space.
But, I'm not sure that I can be in a vacuum. I'm not crazy to check it out. And where can I get oxygen for breathing?
Now, I just held my breath. After the serum stabilises, I can not breathe for a whole 10 minutes. This time is enough for me.
When I went outside, I turned into Ditto, after which I created three clones, which immediately turned into Upgrade.
These clones will dismantle the ship. It will take them a few days to finish everything.
Still, this ship was called the 'Megacruiser' for a reason. It is almost four kilometers long and two wide.
With this I will also check: how many clones can exist? And also, won't something happen because of such a great distance?
The clones went to do their job, and I turned into the Two-Tails and teleported to the hotel room.
It was already 6 am. Grandfather was already up, but the girls were still sleeping. I was too lazy to do anything else, so I just lay on the couch and watched TV.
Two hours later the girls got up and we went to have breakfast.
After breakfast at the hotel, we all went for a walk around the city while Grandfather told us stories from his life related to this city.
I can't help but wonder how busy Max's life was. He has a story, for all occasions.
At the moment, we were in the Museum of Modern Art. I love museums in general and I love history. But I don't understand contemporary art. And I probably never will.
For example. Now we went to the roof of the museum, where there are also several exhibits.
There is a fountain here. Well, the fountain is like a fountain. Pretty simple and small. This, I can understand.
But two meters from the fountain is a huge human foot. What the hell? What's the point of this? I do not know.
And Gwen seems to like it. Ashley also seems to think that this is all garbage incomprehensible.
I can't tell exactly what Grandfather thinks about this place, but a superficial test of telepathy showed that Max also did not have a very high opinion of this art.
Things couldn't be quiet for too long, and just at that moment, a small spaceship flew over our heads. It was even smaller than my quinjet. Most likely, this is just a boat for traveling on the surfaces of the planets.
The boat flew on. I knew perfectly well who was inside, thanks to the knowledge of canon. But anyway, just in case, I checked the ship with x-ray vision and confirmed the veracity of my assumptions.
After telling the family that I would deal with the guests myself, I put on a suit and flew after the ship.
There were no people around, so I don't have to worry that someone will see me. I tested it with a new trick. Using my telepathy, I send out a wave similar to echolocation, then the wave returns and I learn the location of the nearest sentients.
Morgana took care of the cameras. After that story with the Legion, I ask my AI to always check nearby cameras and remove what they don't need to see.
The boat landed in the center of the street two blocks from the museum. By this point, I was already hovering above the ground and looking at the transport.
A couple of seconds after landing, the door opened and Detrovite stepped out.
It was Vulcanus. That one is a scammer. He looked exactly like me in the form of an alien of this race, only his armor was brown.
Coming out of his boat, Vulcanus began to ask about the deposits of Bicenthium Alloy from the crowd of onlookers.
Bicenthium Alloy is a simple iron ore. Apparently in the galaxy, only on Earth it is plentiful and easy to find.
Having received no answer from the frightened people, Vulcanus got angry and already wanted to hit the ground to scare the people.
But I didn't let him do it.
Turning into Vulcan, as I decided to call this alien, I swooped down on Vulcanus. Yes, my imagination is weak.
I landed right on his back, from the blow he was simply dented into the asphalt.
Before Vulcanus came to his senses, I looked at the crowd and shouted:
- Go away!!!
People, hearing my cry, screamed and fled in panic, in all directions.
Then, I hit Vulcanus on the head, then picked him up and put him in a choke hold.
A minute later, Vulcanus lost consciousness. He certainly fought, but he did not have a chance.
According to my observations, I was five times stronger than him. Kind of overkill.
This alien is still too strong. A couple of tests will need to be done.
It was at this moment that Six-Six flew out of the ship using his jetpack. Seeing me and seeming to recognize me, he took out his weapon and attacked.
I quickly turned into a Stinkfly and dodged the shot. After that, I shot at Six-Six, from the mouth and eyes, with sticky and smelly slime.
Six-Six couldn't dodge and was covered in slime. He could no longer fly, so he fell to the ground.
I, right in the air, turned into a Heatblast and threw a fireball at Six-Six.
The slime was explosive, so it exploded from the fireball, thereby causing great damage to my opponent.
When all the smoke was gone, a battered Six-Six could be seen. Part of his armor had already broken, but he was still conscious.
I landed on the ground, after which I turned into Buzzshock and used electricity to attack Six-Six.
My electricity fried the entire system of his suit. Plus, it did a lot of damage to his body. So he passed out pretty quickly.
After defeating him, I returned to human form. But I was still in costume.
Precisely, at this moment, when everything was already over, using the teleportation system, the Galactic Enforcers arrived.
They consisted of a Tetramand Woman named Tini, a brain-in-a-jar-like alien with six tentacles named Synaptak, and their leader, a local blue-skinned Superman named Ultimos.
As they landed, they stared in shock at the defeated Vulcanus and Six-Six.
Before they came to their senses, I quickly scanned Synaptak and Ultimus. Come in handy.
Moving away from the shock, they looked at me and their leader asked:
- Is that you? Who are you?
Instead of answering, I showed them the Omnitrix.
- Now it is clear. Let me introduce myself, I'm Ultimus. And this is Synaptak and Tini. We are the Galactic Enforce….
Without letting him finish, I said:
- I know who you are. Since you've arrived, take these two. And please, this time, make sure they don't escape.
- Oh, yes, of course. We swear by the galactic codex that they will never escape again. - too pathetic, said Ultimus.
— Okay. - I said and turned around to leave.
- Wait. Can you tell us the name of the Omnitrix wearer? - asked Synaptak.
- You can call me the Legion. - I said and turned into the Two-Tails, teleported to the roof of the building and began to observe them.
